Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, Valley. This is Iiglife. My name is Bob Quinn,
with you for the next hour talking about agricultural production
here in the valley and all across the country. Well, friends,
what does the Environmental Protection Agency's recently proposed renewable fuel
standard for the next year and year after potentially mean
for the nation's biofuel industry? Well Rod Main starts us
off today.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
It has been a significant two months of development for
the nation's renewable fuels industry in its effort to increase
production and use of ethanol and other biofuels. A visit
with FAR broadcasters this past May at USDA headquarters gave
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zelden opportunity to talk about
(00:42):
a just then announced policy. The big deadline that was
upon us was May one, as it relates to fifty
The emergency fuel waiver issued by EPA prior to May
first allows for sale of E fifteen blended fuels fuels
with fifteen percent or more ethanol nationwide. During that same
visit with National Association AFAR broadcasting representatives, the EPA administrator
(01:07):
owed it the next important consideration regarding renewable fuels.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Forwards making a decision on the path forward on rbos,
but that's a decision to be made.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Eminaly referring to proposed renewable volume obligations associated with our
nation's Renewable Fuel Standard for producing biofuels in twenty twenty
six and twenty seven. By mid June, EPA made the
announcement about the rfs for the next two years, proposed
volumes of over twenty four billion gallons for the next
(01:37):
year and a slightly higher proposed total of the following year.
Those totals are not lost on the renewable fuel industry,
as both would be the highest rvos if finalized. Announced
in the twentieth anniversary year of the Renewable Fuel Standard.
So what is next? Jeff Cooper of the Renewable Fuels
Association offers an estimated timeline.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
EPA is going to be receiving and soliciting feedback and
input from the public and from stakeholder groups. They're looking
at a forty five day comment period. They'll also have
a public hearing. They'll gather all that up, they'll analyze it,
and they will make any potential changes to the rule
based on that input they received. They are fixated on
having a final rule in place no later than October
(02:19):
thirty first of this year.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
In a press release, Agriculture Secretary Brook Rawlins commended the
decision for bringing certainty to the biofuel industry, contributing to
lower fuel prices and increasing production for export opportunities. For instance,
a part of the recently reached US United Kingdom trade
agreement in which the UK reduces US ethanol export tariffs
(02:42):
to that market.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
From nineteen to zero, which for our road croppers is
a huge deal.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I'm Broadbane, reporting for the US Department of Agriculture in Washington,
d C.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Well, friends, coming up an improved canola variety could be
available for planting in the next couple of years. Will
have that story you're listening to ag Life, Bob Quinn.
Here was some farm us this morning, friends. In Bigger
Gold is a new yellow seeded canola that promises to
bring more opportunities for US canola producers. The new seed
(03:14):
will go into the ground in Montana in twenty twenty
seven and will come to the high planes in twenty
twenty nine. Mark Hubler, us canola agronomy lead for BASF,
says the new variety was built specifically for a challenging environment.
Speaker 6 (03:28):
What's exciting to me is to have a product that
was specifically designed for this environment. And so in Bigger
Gold is going to be another iteration of canola spring
canola for Montana canola growers that really thrives in hotter,
drier environments. It's exciting about this Central Grade Plains opportunity.
Really that market is untapped, so it will be a
(03:50):
brand new crop for a Kansas wheat farmer, for example,
or a Nebraska wheat farmer. One of the things you know,
especially having come from Kansas, we do grow a little
bit of winter canola in Kansas, but we have trouble
with winterkill. And so since this is a spring crop,
we really do feel like it's going to have a fit.
I've actually looked at it the last three or four
years in the state of Kansas, and so twenty twenty eight,
twenty twenty nine, we expect to be able to launch
(04:11):
in Bigger Gold in the Central Great Plains.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
The new variety will be more able to withstand whatever
the weather throws at it.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
It can with stand the heat. I was actually in
eastern Washington last week in and a Bigger Gold plot
and the week before it was one hundred degrees and
during flowering, and one thing that we really saw at
that particular site was absolute no pot abortion from that heat,
and so traditional napis will have trouble with that heat,
and we did see pot abortion with traditional napis, and
so that's what's probably most exciting is it just opens
(04:40):
up a lot more acres in these environments that have
low organic matter and higher temperature.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Mark Hubler Basf with US Well Friends. Wheat harvest is
progressing in the state of Illinois now. John Jones, and
agronomist with the University of Illinois, talks about what's happening
in the state's wheat fields.
Speaker 7 (04:55):
It's been a good progress in terms of wheat harvest.
I think things start to dry down pretty fast, and
we moved into that kind of ready to go mode
for getting combines running and getting the wheat cut. The
trials that we've had kind of moving up from southern
Illinois into central Illinois and Piot County area have been
yielding fairly impressively for the expected amount of disease pressure
(05:19):
we might have seen in some of the areas with
wet springs. Some of our higher yielding fields and treatments
are well above one hundred and one sixteen even up
to mid to high one twenties in terms of yield,
and then the quality has been pretty good with test
weights well above sixty in some cases when following many
of the combines are being followed with planters getting beans
(05:42):
in the ground. There was a few really timely rains
that hopefully got in after the Slobean's got in the ground,
that should really push emergence and eventually be able to
get those beans off to a good start. So really
fortunate for that in many cases if you were fortunate
enough to get that rain. Although when looking in the
profile and we were just out soil sampling yesterday for
(06:02):
some research, certainly is quite dry in many cases as
you move central and northern part of the state, and
so at least we're getting a little bit of a
wedding front that's moving down. That'll help as we start
to move into Tassel and kind of peak water uptake
for corn. Naturally, as the water is moving to those
roots and throughout the soil, our nitrogen is as well,
so late season and availability you'll be really tied to
(06:23):
how well that water is moving to where those roots
have effectively got down in the soil profile.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Something that's came up more recently.
Speaker 7 (06:32):
Around the state has just been questions and concerns about
some areas of soybean's out looking the best that maybe
deal to due to iron deficiency chlorosis in some fields
where we are confirming that there's an appreciable amount of
carbonate in the soil surface.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
So if that is the case, there are some options.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
Your best option is really variety selection, and then if
that field is due for drainage updates or something like that,
that could be an option as well. Usually, either aculator
in a non kulated iron products have an ability to
green up tissue pretty fast, but rarely translate to yield response.
We have seen very few instances of that, so it's
(07:12):
something to manage more at the beginning of the year
when thinking about varieties that have good IDC scores. Those
are the kind of wheat, corn and soybean updates and
things that I've been talking with farmers in the last
we'll say, three or four days.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
John Jones out of the Midwest talking wheat harvest. This morning,
farm us, you're listening to wag Life.
Speaker 8 (07:31):
It's another agnews update. Conservation. How important is it in
a new farm bill? More after this?
Speaker 9 (07:42):
I'm Russ Kohler, a dairyman from Utah.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Safety.
Speaker 9 (07:46):
Know your limits. Heat stroke is life threatening. Know the
symptoms confusion, loss of consciousness, seizures, high body temperature, hot
dry skin, and profuse sweating. Reduce your risk during the
heat of the day by working earlier or later, allowed
time for water and rest breaks by drinking two to
four cups of water each hour.
Speaker 10 (08:04):
This public service message is brought to you by Farm
Bureau and the US AGG Centers.
Speaker 8 (08:10):
Chairman of the House AD Committee from Pennsylvania, Gt. Thompson.
Speaker 11 (08:13):
The Farm, Food and National Security Act was passed by
this committee last year and contains many bipartisan priorities in
this conservation title to build on the gains that we've
made in recent farm bills. This includes reforms to improve
the administration of our CPP, ACP, and the Small Watershed Program.
The bill encourages more innovation in the programs by requiring
more frequent updates to conservation practice standards and makes precision
(08:37):
agriculture eligible for cost Share and EQUIP and CSP. It
also proposed a modernization of CRP and important improvements to
the Technical Services Provider program. And while these are just
some of the reforms this committee can take in can
take to improve the administration of each program, we also
have a tremendous opportunity this Congress the bolster conservation programs
(08:58):
over the long term with signal again new funding. The Farm,
Food and National Security Act also propose re sending the
unobligated IRA conservation funding and reallocating it into Title II.
House Republicans are now trying to provide similar reinvestment through
the reconciliation process. Instead of letting the IRA funding expire,
investing it would provide additional funding for the programs that
(09:19):
we all know work and increase the baseline for the
Conservation title into perpetuity.
Speaker 8 (09:24):
It's another agnews update.
Speaker 12 (09:26):
Meet Blue, Blue's not feeling well the prescription generic medication.
Blue wonders do they really work as well as name brands? Yes,
generics and name brand medications do work the same, even
though they may look different. Generics have the same key ingredients.
FDA approval is equally rigorous for generics to make sure
they're as safe and effective as name brands, and Blue
(09:47):
even save some green, making him a little less well blue.
Talk to your doctor about generics and visit FDA dot
VP slash generic drugs.
Speaker 8 (09:55):
American Cattle news one trillion dollar just sitting there? Where
will we find it more?
Speaker 13 (10:04):
After this, this is Shaquille O'Neill reminding you that anytime
is a good time for the cooling drying.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Freshen them gold bond powd of spray like after the gym.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Hard day's work.
Speaker 15 (10:19):
Stay cool with gold bond pott of spreads.
Speaker 9 (10:21):
Stay.
Speaker 8 (10:24):
Secretary of Interior Doug Berghan taking questions from Representative Jared
Huffman from California.
Speaker 16 (10:31):
Now, you have said that American public lands are assets
that should be leveraged to pay down the national debt.
Finance experts, including the former Republican director of the CBO,
have said your proposal could only work if the US
entered into agreements with our foreign creditors to put specific
lands up as collateral. I want to ask you specifically,
because some of these creditors are China, Canada, France, India,
(10:53):
Saudi Arabia, UAE, will you put American public lands up
as collateral in agreements with any of these foreign interests.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
No, and the thing that you've just suggested has never
been discussed, never been in a meeting with that, So
I don't even know where that idea came from. This
is there when you're talking about leverage, meaning debt, but
we're talking about if we want to run advertisements to
the American people and say you got thirty you own
part of thirty six and a half trillion dollars of debt,
which we do every time we have a presidential campaign,
(11:21):
we should also be running ads and say Americans, you
own part of a one hundred trillion, two hundred trillion dollars.
Speaker 16 (11:27):
You have repeatedly said we should gent on our public lands.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
The national buyer, yes, because we're getting a horrifically poor
return on the assets that we have in our country.
If our national balance sheets worth a hundred trillion, and
Interior pulled in twenty billion, a one percent return on
one hundred trillion dollar balance sheet would be one trillion.
We'd have all kinds of money for you guys to
appropriate to spend on deferred maintenance. Our parks would be
(11:52):
sustainable forever. These are simple things, but you know we've
got the greatest resources land minerals, rare earth minerals, win
I mean, you name all the resources they have on
public land. We're managing them in a way where we're
getting really horrifically bad returns. And there's nothing contrary with
getting good returns. I mean, some of the companies that
have the highest return in the country are also the
(12:13):
greatest stewards of the assets that they manage.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
We can do the same.
Speaker 8 (12:16):
Thing, American Cattle News.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
This is Dairy Radio Now with Bill Baker.
Speaker 14 (12:26):
Farm transition planning is a big topic these days. Joining
us on our Producer Tuesday, brought to you by the
Professional Dairy Producers is Shane at Borakove, partner and attorney
and counselor at law at Bora Coove OSMA, LLC from
a recent PDP Dairy signal, who share some insights when
it comes to transitioning out of the farm.
Speaker 17 (12:45):
You know, one, I think farmers have to realize that
you are a client. When you walk into someone's office,
you are the one that is, you know, paying for services,
and you are the boss, you know. I think that
makes it a little bit easier to walk in and
to know that when you're walking in and you have
all the information that you need. You have a balance sheet.
That's important information to know, right, that's important information that
(13:07):
you have to share. And so it's the balance sheets,
it's the financial statements that you have that you're working
with your CPA with, right, And maybe you have a bookkeeper,
maybe you're you know, a member of your family is
organizing those things. So one balance statements. Yes, the tax
returns are often a good thing because it shows a
little bit more about your business structure, so you don't
(13:28):
have to be the one that's always answering questions. Questionnaire
I have found is I mean an essential tool that
we have that we expect our clients to complete because
if we're if they don't, we miss these minute details
end up becoming important.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Right.
Speaker 17 (13:42):
So the lay of the land, the personal information hugely important,
takes just a few minutes complete. But once it's done,
you don't have to go back to it. What is
a good outline of my assets? You know, farm and
personal because when we talk about farm transition, you know,
so much gets emphasized with the farm, and it should
be because that's what the conversations about. But those other
(14:03):
things like bank accounts, you know, other financial information, other
you know how you know spouses. If the farmer is married,
you know what does the spouse have, Is there a retirement,
you know benefits, Do they have a day to day
job that they have a four oh one k. All
that other personal information really goes into the analysis. What
is an appropriate transition that doesn't put anyone in a
(14:25):
bad situation.
Speaker 14 (14:26):
That's Attorney SHANEA. Borakove on a recent PDP Dairy signal
that you can hear in its entirety for free at
pdpw dot org her experiences and dealing with dairy farmers.
When it comes to farm transition planning, first.
Speaker 17 (14:39):
I want people to be very practical about things. If
I could ask my clients to do one more thing
is to actually write down what their goal is when
they think about farm transition, and then I want them
to truly evaluate whether that can happen. It's like I
want to get out of my farm in five years
and I want this person to take it over. And
then truly ask yourself is that possible? And have you
(15:00):
done enough to even make that happen? Because those can't
be forced and those can't be legally arranged. Visualizing, putting
the goal down and holding yourself accountable that and then
asking you yourself, is this a hope? Is this a desire?
Or is this a real goal that can be attained?
And have I done enough to make sure that this
goal can be attained within the timeframe that I want
(15:21):
it to be. So that's one too, is you know,
I think a big takeaway which I kind of underscored
when I was saying it, is there is sweat equity.
That's not just sweat equity, right, There is lost opportunity
costs when we're not doing transitions in our life. And
I would say, before someone just says I can't or
(15:41):
I won't, whatever the reason, look at the actual tax
ramifications of not transitioning during life. And if you're just
trying to come up with that solution in your mind,
that's not where it should be. It should actually be,
you know, if I it should be you know, I
kind of really want to do this, but I feel
like I can can't do it because of taxes. Because
(16:02):
your advisors can work, we have so many tools there
that it is sometimes it's putting the number and saying,
you know, this is actually the difference of the rental
income versus the capital gains. You know, it's not that bad.
It's like five thousand dollars a year. It could Seriously,
I mean some I did that the other day and
they're like, oh, I'm like, yeah, it's not Why aren't
(16:25):
you just selling it now? And they're like, yeah, why
aren't we just selling it now? So uh, don't Yeah,
don't have the tax tell wag the dog, right, but
don't use these excuses as something that prohibits you from
exploring the opportunities.
Speaker 10 (16:39):
Again.
Speaker 14 (16:39):
That's Shane Abora Cove, who is a partner attorney and
counselor at law at Bora Cove Osman, LLC, who shared
on a recent PDP Dairy signal some insights into farm
transition planning. And you can hear that in its entirety
for free simply by going to PDP's website at pdpw
dot org. Our thanks to the Professional Dairy Producers for
today's sponsorship of Producer Tuesday.
Speaker 18 (17:07):
When it comes to biological non chemical materials for pest
and diseases, is there a lot available for tree nuts?
I'm Patrick Cavanagh with a California tree Nut Report, part
of the vastag Information Network David Havilin is a uc
an R farm advisor specializing in anomology based in Kern County.
Speaker 19 (17:26):
It's a big yes and a no okay, So mating
insruption for example, for naval orangem huge almonds of pistachios.
There's about a half a million acre under main disruption
right now when you do the map. Literally as we
speak on the phone, there's some sixty plus million tree
being protected by main disruption from you know, from naval
(17:48):
orngrom mamound. That's remarkable, and.
Speaker 18 (17:50):
This fact is way different than it was just twenty
years ago.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
You know, the.
Speaker 19 (17:54):
Traditional days of you spray a pesticide to kill a pest.
You'll think about how remarkable main disruption is.
Speaker 18 (18:00):
Wow, it is very remarkable.
Speaker 19 (18:02):
You're not killing anything, You're just causing them not to
mate to prevent them from having any baby.
Speaker 18 (18:06):
And that vastly, very vastly reduces the population of these
damaging insects.
Speaker 19 (18:13):
We had to take it for granted that we do
this now, but it's actually a pretty novel idea.
Speaker 18 (18:17):
That's David Havlin. You see Farm Advisor Kerr County and
more news, the California Walnut Board and Commission have recently
launched a feel good campaign helping walnuts become something that
you want to eat every day.
Speaker 20 (18:30):
Farm work is tough, and so is staying safe on
the road. Every year, accidents happen when tractors and traffic
share the same space. Whether you're behind the wheel of
a tractor or a car, here's what you need to remember.
Tractors move slower, be patient, don't pass on hills or curves. Farmers,
make sure you're slow moving vehicles. Signs and lights are visible,
and everyone's sailor, especially on rural roads, One moment a
(18:52):
caution can save a life. Let's work together to keep
our roads and our farms safe. This message was brought
to you by the ag Information Network.
Speaker 10 (19:00):
Over forty years, the AGG Information Network has been providing
news and information for the most important industry in the world, agriculture.
The Egg Information Network gives you worldwide updates from local
producers to regional organizations, from major crops like wheat and corn,
to animal agriculture to specially crops like apples, almonds, and cherries.
We report on stories that mean the most to you
(19:21):
online at aginfo dot net. The AGG Information Network trusted
and transparent journalism lasting for the next generation.
Speaker 18 (19:28):
With the AG Information Network. I'm Patrick Kavanaugh.
Speaker 21 (19:31):
High oilin slabine oil is now being incorporated into dairy
cattle feed rations and is positively affecting animal health. Don
at Wiese, chairman of the United Slabean Boards Audit and
Evaluations Committee, says, it's been a journey to get the
high oil e slabean oil into cattle rations.
Speaker 22 (19:50):
We at USB brought the HEALA program forward and it
was all originally intended for food use for the healthier
soybean oil being produced from these highlyakes slabeans. But here
in the last short while, we are finding some benefits,
some significant benefits and areas of the feed industry, in
particular dairy. So you know, it is great to highlight
(20:11):
this new found benefit from highlakes soybeans going into dairy rations,
improving that overall butterfat yield. I as a farmer, really
like this from the standpoint that we are paving the
way for a more stable demand foundation going forward when
we can rely on both food juices which haven't gone away,
they're still there. But now we're bringing this exciting new
feed usage of highl x into the mix as well.
(20:33):
Real excited going forward.
Speaker 10 (20:34):
He said.
Speaker 21 (20:35):
Checkof dollars helped with a research on high oil like
soybeans and dairy cattle feed rations.
Speaker 22 (20:40):
It's a significant example of why we as US soybean
farmers pay into our checkof to promote our industry overall
and to bring big changes and developments to us that
come back to our own family farms around the country.
The high LAK program has been a perfect example, I
guess is how I would describe it as a place
where we've spent significant checkoff dollars but are now seeing
(21:02):
significant returns that are coming back to our farms. And
one of the pieces that was taking time to grow
is just being able to offer this to all US
soybean farmers. And we're not there yet, but now we're
in sixteen states, and with this continued development with dairy
you know it's going to expand to other states as
well when they are trying to partner with other dairy
locations around the country.
Speaker 21 (21:21):
Getting the soybean and the dairy cattle rations benefit soybean
farmers and cattle producers.
Speaker 22 (21:27):
I call it a win win. You know, we're witting
by seeing this going to the feed rations of dairy cows,
but also continuing to in a tighter margin environment seeing
new developments on the demand side for our soybeans, and
this is only going to continue to grow going forward
with the results that we're seeing coming out of that
benefit to the dairy industry. And there's some additional work
being done in swine right now too to look at this,
(21:48):
so we may not be done yet.
Speaker 21 (21:50):
Again at Is Don Wi's chairman of the United Swybean
Boards Audit and Evaluations Committee, and Don's a soybean farmer
from Indiana. The USDA is outlined it's planned to attack
the New World's screwworm now. That includes an eight point
five million dollar facility to produce steril flies in South Texas.
Agg's secretary Brook Rawlins said the agency is trying to
(22:12):
enhance its ability to detect, control, and eliminate the pels.
Cigarette Johans, the National Cattleman's Deep Association, says it's an
extremely expensive disease to eradicate, which is why prevention is key.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
The dominoes in Central America fell really fast, and we
saw from November of last year up and through the
winter in the spring, we saw this disease move really
quickly through Central America into Mexico, and that is why
it is such an urgent concern for the United States now,
because it is right at our southern neighbor, and we've
got to make sure we keep it out of the
US cattle herd. It is an extremely expensive disease to
(22:46):
eradicate once you have it, so prevention is worth everything here.
Speaker 21 (22:50):
One step was to close the bordered live cattle imports,
and another was to breed flies that are sterile so
they will mate in the wild with females and then
they will not produce all.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
And then they drop them into the environment, and these
sterilized mails in theory outcompete the mails in the environment
and gradually the population goes down. The trick with that, though,
is you need an awful lot of flies.
Speaker 21 (23:11):
There's currently one facility in Panama producing these flies. Mexico
is working on another, and this will get the US
asterile fly operation near the border. The USDA's National Agricultural
Statistics Service has mailed out the July Cattle Survey to
about eighteen thousand cattle operations nationwide to provide an update
measure of the US cattle inventories now. This is the
(23:35):
first July cattle survey mailed to producers since the reinstatement
of key reports was announced earlier this year. According to
NOACED Livestock Branch chief Travis Avril, the information helps producers
make timely informed of business decisions and plan for herd
expansion or reduction. It also helps packers and government leaders
(23:55):
evaluate expected slaughter volume for future months and determined potential
top applies for export. Now, during the first two weeks
of July, US cattle producers will have the opportunity to
report their beef and dairy cattle inventories, calf crop death loss,
and cattle on feed information, and then the July Cattle
reports had to be out on Friday, July twenty fifth
(24:16):
at two pm. I'm Dwayne Merley. High oil like soybean
oil is now being incorporated into dairy cattle feed rations
and is positively affecting animal health. Don Weese, chairman of
the United Soybean Board's Audit and Evaluations Committee, says it's
been a journey to get the high oil like soybean
(24:36):
oil into cattle rations.
Speaker 22 (24:38):
We at USB brought the HELI program forward and it
was all originally intended for food use for the healthier
soybean oil being produced from these highly ex solobeings. But
here in the last short while, we are finding some benefits,
some significant benefits and areas of the feed industry, in
particular dairy. So you know, it is great to highlight
(24:59):
this new found benefit from Highlakes soybeans going into dairy rations,
improving that overall betterfat yield. I as a farmer, really
like this from the standpoint that we are paving the
way for a more stable demand foundation going forward when
we can rely on both food juices which haven't gone away,
they're still there, but now we're bringing this exciting new
feed usage of highlas into the mix as well. Real
(25:22):
excited going forward.
Speaker 10 (25:23):
He said.
Speaker 21 (25:23):
Checkoff dollars held with a research on HI oil like
soybeans and dairy cattle feed rations.
Speaker 22 (25:29):
It's a significant example of why we as US soybean
farmers pay into our checkof to promote our industry overall
and to bring big changes and developments to us that
come back to our own family farms around the country.
The High Lake program has been a perfect example, I
guess is how I would describe it as a place
where we've spent significant checkof dollars but are now seeing
(25:50):
significant returns that are coming back to our farms. And
one of the pieces that was taking time to grow

Speaker 21 (26:09):
Getting the soybean and a dairy cattle rations benefit soybean
farmers and cattle producers.
Speaker 22 (26:15):
I call it a win win. You know, we're witting
by seeing this go into the feed rations of dairy cows,
but also continuing to in a tighter margin environment, seeing
new developments on the demand side for our soybeans. And
this is only going to continue to grow going forward
with the results that we're seeing coming out of that
benefit to the dairy industry. And there's some additional work
being done in swine right now too to look at this,
(26:37):
so we may not be done yet.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Again.
Speaker 21 (26:39):
That is Don weis chairman of the United Soybean Board's
Audit and Evaluations Committee. And Don's a soybean farmer from Indiana.
The USDA is outlined it's planned to attack the new
World screwworm now that includes an eight point five million
dollar facility to produce sterile flys in South Texas. AGGS
Secretary Brook Rawlins said the age of so it's trying
(27:00):
to enhance its ability to detect, control, and eliminate the
pause Sigarette Johan's and the National Cattleman's Deep Association says
it's an extremely expensive disease to eradicate, which is why
prevention is key.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
The dominoes in Central America fell really fast, and we
saw from November of last year up and through the
winter in the spring, we saw this disease move really
quickly through Central America into Mexico. And that is why
it is such an urgent concern for the United States now,
because it is right at our southern neighbor and we've
got to make sure we keep it out of the
US cattle herd. It is an extremely expensive disease to
(27:34):
eradicate once you have it, so prevention is worth everything here.
Speaker 21 (27:38):
Wild step was to close the bordered live cattle imports,
and another was to breed flies that are sterile, so
they will mate in the wild with females and then
they will not produce offspring.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
And then they drop them into the environment, and these
sterilized males in theory outcompete the males in the environment
and gradually the population goes down. The trick with that, though,
is you need an awful lot of flies.
Speaker 21 (28:00):
There's currently one facility in Panama producing these flies. Mexico
is working on another, and this will give the US
asterile fly operation near the border. The USDA's National Agricultural
Statistics Service has mailed out the July Cattle Survey to
about eighteen thousand cattle operations nationwide to provide an update
(28:20):
measure of the US cattle inventories now. This is the
first July Cattle Survey mailed to producers since the reinstatement
of key reports was announced earlier this year. According to
NAS Livestock Branch at chief Travis Avril, the information helps
producers make timely informed business decisions and planned for hert
expansion or reduction. It also helps packers and government leaders
(28:43):
evaluate expected slaughter volume for future months and determined potential
supplies for export. Now, during the first two weeks of July,
US cattle producers will have the opportunity to report their
beef and dairy cattle inventories, cab crop death loss, and
cattle on feed and from man and then the July
Cattle reports that'll be out on Friday, July twenty fifth
(29:04):
at two pm. I am Dwayne Merley.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Bob when here were some farm news this morning? Friends,
Well friends. North Dakota State University is one of multiple
organizations involved in the North Dakota herbicide Resistant Weed study.
Joe Eichley, an Assistant professor and extension weed specialist at
North Dakota State University, says the results aren't much different
than previous years.
Speaker 23 (29:29):
It is basically the same old suspects. The main agenda
for the survey this year is once again kosha and
pig weeds with real folkus on water having there are
some new weeds we're asking folks for this year.
Speaker 21 (29:41):
So these test kits that are.
Speaker 23 (29:42):
Available at every county Extension office also have a point
on blow that slave when I have a green foxtail
or wild oat.
Speaker 24 (29:48):
And so that is the test that.
Speaker 23 (29:49):
We are currently working with National ad Genotype and Center
to develop. So it won't be rapid results on those
grass species this year, but the hope is to get
this test fully developed or the winner, and that will
be two new species that we want to add with
a very rapid turnaround on results next year.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
He said.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
The genotyping tools used to identify the resistance have significantly improved.
Speaker 23 (30:12):
But it's really nice is the tests that we currently
have available. We just need some leaf tissue because then
they'll just subtract DNA from that leaf tissue. And these
mechanisms of resistance that we can test for are generally
a single target site mutation within the weeds. You know
what that really means of importance for us is they
can quickly get the DNA extracted find if that mutation exists,
and we know that some of these mutations confer resistance.
(30:34):
Within seven days, folks will have results in their hands.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Growers need to know where resistance is showing up in
fields at the county level. That means participating in the
survey is important.
Speaker 10 (30:44):
It's quite important.
Speaker 23 (30:45):
And one thing I always like to talk about that
I think is an extra type of importance with this
survey is that the only one who gets their individual
results back are the person who submits that test, and
we will put these county level maps together and that
will really help us kind of track where we're seeing
life state resistance Group nine herbicide life states and in
our group two and Group fourteen herbicides for distance and
(31:05):
kosher and waterhamp to those products, which are all very
important for sobean production. That's the other important thing that
we as want as many samples as possible really get
a better understanding of what there are hot spots on
the areas to look out for us so that folks
can plant their herbicide programs better.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Joe Eichley, North Dakota State University we resistance survey going on. Well. Friends,
dry weather should continue during the harvest in South America.
Riley Smith takes a look for us this morning.
Speaker 13 (31:33):
Now much is changed for the weather in South America
and the upcoming forecast is still looking to be dry
the dry and it should be good for harvest progress,
but at some point the weather will get too dry
and start to cause some problems. Allendale commodity broker at
Greg McBride gave an update on the latest conditions in
Brazil and Argentina.
Speaker 24 (31:48):
Yet very dry forecast in the one to five day.
Only northern Brazil has a little bit of rain. For
the most part of the southern two thirds of the
entire country are dry. Of Argentina is dry, so harvest
should move along pretty swiftly for those two countries over
the next five days. Six to ten day does offer
(32:11):
a little bit of rain for parts of eastern Argentina
and southern Brazil, but for the most part the bulk
of the country of Brazil is dry.
Speaker 13 (32:20):
It's a freena. Harvest progress in Brazil is still behind
the average, but they have such a large crop that
it will take longer than usual. Anyways, they're moving right along.
Speaker 24 (32:27):
It is still behind the five year average, well behind
last year. So last year they were at thirty percent harvested.
By now this is an extended period of time that
they will harvest. This will take probably until September or so.
But overall it is right now eleven percent harvested. For
(32:47):
their second crop corn. The five year average puts them
at fifteen. Like I said, the last year they were
already at thirty percent done. But this is a big
crop too. This is a is a record crop that
they are harvesting. This will take longer to harvest as well.
Speaker 13 (33:02):
McBride added that soybean harvest in Argentina is basically done
at this point.
Speaker 24 (33:07):
Well, they are effectively done on soybeans ninety percent to
complete as of this week. Obviously five year average and
last year would have been right about the same time
they were done, so getting the last of it in
the in the bin or in the bag for right now,
so we won't be talking about that moving forward. But
(33:27):
on the corner side of things, they are still still
moving along. About two thirds done, sixty four percent this week.
That is just behind last year, which and the five
year average is sixty eight so they're they're not lagging
too much, just slightly behind the average and behind last year,
but overall still moving right along in Argentina.
Speaker 13 (33:47):
That again was Allendale Commodity broker Greg McBride. I'm Riley
Smith reporting.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Farm US this morning. You're listening to WAG Life.
Speaker 15 (33:58):
From the Bag Information Network. Did this is your agribusiness update?
San Joaquin County cherry grower Tom Goateelly reflected on a
difficult season for California growers, many losing up to half
their crop. Katelli tells ag Alert he thinks warmed temperatures
in December and January affected the tree's dormancy. He says,
we exported a decent amount, but a greater share of
(34:18):
our cherries went to the domestic market this year, but
because of the light crop, no one got what they wanted.
US China tensions and the resulting tariffs cost US farmers
two billion dollars and lost exports this year. A North
Dakota State University study says the lost sales to China
far surpassed modest gains elsewhere. From January to April, agricultural
(34:40):
exports to China contracted by over five billion dollars, up
to fifty five percent lower than last year. US exports
to South Asia, the EU, and Central America climbed by
forty three, thirty nine and twenty four percent, respectively. Reuters
says farmers cut some losses early this year. Across the
US wheat belt. The farmers chose to bail the wheat
(35:02):
into hay, plow some fields under, or turn them over
to greazing animals. The Great Planes are home to much
of the US grown hardbread winter wheat, but with prices
around five dollars a bushel, wheat, farmers are faced with
losing money or killing off their crops.
Speaker 10 (35:16):
You've probably been told that to reach a millennial farmer
you have to go digital hmm, Facebook, Vimeo, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn,
and online publication or maybe a podcast hmm, but which one? Oh,
and how receptive is this age group to your sales
pitch during non work social time. Maybe the best place
(35:37):
to reach a farmer with a farming solution message is
when they are well, quite frankly farming. You know, it's
easy for us to find them during the day, as
most farmers are behind the wheel of a pickup truck
or farm equipment with the radio on. Listening to this
station for the agg Information Network of the West News.
If you'd like to deliver information about your terrific product
(35:59):
or service, give us a call and we'll connect you
directly with our community of loyal farmer listeners. Reach real
farmers right here, right now as they listen to what
is important to their farm operation. They trust us, They'll

Speaker 15 (36:14):
From the ag Information Network, I'm Bob Larson with today's
agribusiness update.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
For more, go to aginfolk dot Net.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Bob quin back to wrap up baglie for today, Friends,
we wrap up by focusing on pets and keeping them
safe and extreme heat. Rod Bain has our final report.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Summer hot enough a near nation wide heat wave in
some places triple digit high temperatures not good for humans
add their pets, as Kathy Capitelli of USDA's Addible at
Plant Health Inspection Service offers as advice.
Speaker 25 (36:45):
You feel like it's muggy and hot, your dog or
cat or other pets feel it too, even more so so.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Keeping pets at it. Indoor setting a cooler area with
air conditioning or a fad is needed to keep pets
from experiencing heat stress. Even outdoor, pets with heat tolerance
need to.
Speaker 25 (37:01):
Be able to access shade outside of their normal shelter.
When the sun is eating down and baking those shelters,
the temperature inside those can get very hot very quickly.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Having a kiddie pool filled with water outside allows pets
opportunity to keep cool.
Speaker 25 (37:16):
Also, because they regulate the temperature through evaperative or conductive cooling,
they need to have some air movement. That's why it's
very dangerous to leave a pet.
Speaker 24 (37:23):
In a car.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Another thing to keep in mind the pets that are.
Speaker 25 (37:26):
Going to be more susceptible to heat stress are going
to be pets who may be overweight or underweight, old
or very young, pregnant or nursing, or have medical conditions
that maybe create more stress on their body.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Also more susceptible to heat stress.
Speaker 25 (37:41):
In dogs, in particular the short nose breaths like pugs, bulldogs, Pekinese,
and others. They are not able to cool themselves as
efficiently as other breeds.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Sides of heat stress and pets include.
Speaker 25 (37:53):
Excessive panting, salivation, if they're very thirsty, if they appear
restless or anxious, like they can't get comfortable, or they're
generalized weak and not interested in activity.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
And what should a pet odor look for regarding signs
of heat stroke in their animals.
Speaker 25 (38:10):
Heat stroke kind of sets in when directed temperature comes
above one o four degrees fahrenheit. In that you might
start to see really rough or uncontrollable panting, Their gums
might appear to be dark red, or it might feel
sticky to the touch, Vomiting or bloody diarrhea. Those kind
of go hand in hand with dehydration, inability to stand, trembling, dizziness,
(38:30):
or disorientation. All of these can progress rapidly to collapse, unconsciousness, seizures,
or even death.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
There are immediate treatments that should start what signs of
heat stress or heat stroke. Become a parent, get a pet.
Speaker 25 (38:44):
You want to get them into a cool, shaded area
as soon as possible, and if you can carry them,
don't make them walk. Give them some cool, clean drinking
water to wet their tongues in their mouths, Run cool
but not ice cold water over their neck pods and
belly to promote that idaporative cooling. And put ice packs
if they're available in some of those sensitive areas, the
(39:05):
non haired areas, because that's where the skin is going
to be able to release heat most effectively.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
If home treatments are not progressing and cooling down your pet,
seek emergency veterinary care as soon as possible. I'm Broadbade,
reporting for the US Department of Agriculture in Washington, d C.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
With that, friends, out of time for today, thanks for
joining us back tomorrow morning with another edition of Bad
Life
Good morning, Valley. This is Iiglife. My name is Bob Quinn,
with you for the next hour talking about agricultural production
here in the valley and all across the country. Well, friends,
what does the Environmental Protection Agency's recently proposed renewable fuel
standard for the next year and year after potentially mean
for the nation's biofuel industry? Well Rod Main starts us
off today.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
It has been a significant two months of development for
the nation's renewable fuels industry in its effort to increase
production and use of ethanol and other biofuels. A visit
with FAR broadcasters this past May at USDA headquarters gave
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zelden opportunity to talk about
(00:42):
a just then announced policy. The big deadline that was
upon us was May one, as it relates to fifty
The emergency fuel waiver issued by EPA prior to May
first allows for sale of E fifteen blended fuels fuels
with fifteen percent or more ethanol nationwide. During that same
visit with National Association AFAR broadcasting representatives, the EPA administrator
(01:07):
owed it the next important consideration regarding renewable fuels.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Forwards making a decision on the path forward on rbos,
but that's a decision to be made.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Eminaly referring to proposed renewable volume obligations associated with our
nation's Renewable Fuel Standard for producing biofuels in twenty twenty
six and twenty seven. By mid June, EPA made the
announcement about the rfs for the next two years, proposed
volumes of over twenty four billion gallons for the next
(01:37):
year and a slightly higher proposed total of the following year.
Those totals are not lost on the renewable fuel industry,
as both would be the highest rvos if finalized. Announced
in the twentieth anniversary year of the Renewable Fuel Standard.
So what is next? Jeff Cooper of the Renewable Fuels
Association offers an estimated timeline.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
EPA is going to be receiving and soliciting feedback and
input from the public and from stakeholder groups. They're looking
at a forty five day comment period. They'll also have
a public hearing. They'll gather all that up, they'll analyze it,
and they will make any potential changes to the rule
based on that input they received. They are fixated on
having a final rule in place no later than October
(02:19):
thirty first of this year.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
In a press release, Agriculture Secretary Brook Rawlins commended the
decision for bringing certainty to the biofuel industry, contributing to
lower fuel prices and increasing production for export opportunities. For instance,
a part of the recently reached US United Kingdom trade
agreement in which the UK reduces US ethanol export tariffs
(02:42):
to that market.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
From nineteen to zero, which for our road croppers is
a huge deal.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I'm Broadbane, reporting for the US Department of Agriculture in Washington,
d C.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Well, friends, coming up an improved canola variety could be
available for planting in the next couple of years. Will
have that story you're listening to ag Life, Bob Quinn.
Here was some farm us this morning, friends. In Bigger
Gold is a new yellow seeded canola that promises to
bring more opportunities for US canola producers. The new seed
(03:14):
will go into the ground in Montana in twenty twenty
seven and will come to the high planes in twenty
twenty nine. Mark Hubler, us canola agronomy lead for BASF,
says the new variety was built specifically for a challenging environment.
Speaker 6 (03:28):
What's exciting to me is to have a product that
was specifically designed for this environment. And so in Bigger
Gold is going to be another iteration of canola spring
canola for Montana canola growers that really thrives in hotter,
drier environments. It's exciting about this Central Grade Plains opportunity.
Really that market is untapped, so it will be a
(03:50):
brand new crop for a Kansas wheat farmer, for example,
or a Nebraska wheat farmer. One of the things you know,
especially having come from Kansas, we do grow a little
bit of winter canola in Kansas, but we have trouble
with winterkill. And so since this is a spring crop,
we really do feel like it's going to have a fit.
I've actually looked at it the last three or four
years in the state of Kansas, and so twenty twenty eight,
twenty twenty nine, we expect to be able to launch
(04:11):
in Bigger Gold in the Central Great Plains.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
The new variety will be more able to withstand whatever
the weather throws at it.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
It can with stand the heat. I was actually in
eastern Washington last week in and a Bigger Gold plot
and the week before it was one hundred degrees and
during flowering, and one thing that we really saw at
that particular site was absolute no pot abortion from that heat,
and so traditional napis will have trouble with that heat,
and we did see pot abortion with traditional napis, and
so that's what's probably most exciting is it just opens
(04:40):
up a lot more acres in these environments that have
low organic matter and higher temperature.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Mark Hubler Basf with US Well Friends. Wheat harvest is
progressing in the state of Illinois now. John Jones, and
agronomist with the University of Illinois, talks about what's happening
in the state's wheat fields.
Speaker 7 (04:55):
It's been a good progress in terms of wheat harvest.
I think things start to dry down pretty fast, and
we moved into that kind of ready to go mode
for getting combines running and getting the wheat cut. The
trials that we've had kind of moving up from southern
Illinois into central Illinois and Piot County area have been
yielding fairly impressively for the expected amount of disease pressure
(05:19):
we might have seen in some of the areas with
wet springs. Some of our higher yielding fields and treatments
are well above one hundred and one sixteen even up
to mid to high one twenties in terms of yield,
and then the quality has been pretty good with test
weights well above sixty in some cases when following many
of the combines are being followed with planters getting beans
(05:42):
in the ground. There was a few really timely rains
that hopefully got in after the Slobean's got in the ground,
that should really push emergence and eventually be able to
get those beans off to a good start. So really
fortunate for that in many cases if you were fortunate
enough to get that rain. Although when looking in the
profile and we were just out soil sampling yesterday for
(06:02):
some research, certainly is quite dry in many cases as
you move central and northern part of the state, and
so at least we're getting a little bit of a
wedding front that's moving down. That'll help as we start
to move into Tassel and kind of peak water uptake
for corn. Naturally, as the water is moving to those
roots and throughout the soil, our nitrogen is as well,
so late season and availability you'll be really tied to
(06:23):
how well that water is moving to where those roots
have effectively got down in the soil profile.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Something that's came up more recently.
Speaker 7 (06:32):
Around the state has just been questions and concerns about
some areas of soybean's out looking the best that maybe
deal to due to iron deficiency chlorosis in some fields
where we are confirming that there's an appreciable amount of
carbonate in the soil surface.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
So if that is the case, there are some options.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
Your best option is really variety selection, and then if
that field is due for drainage updates or something like that,
that could be an option as well. Usually, either aculator
in a non kulated iron products have an ability to
green up tissue pretty fast, but rarely translate to yield response.
We have seen very few instances of that, so it's
(07:12):
something to manage more at the beginning of the year
when thinking about varieties that have good IDC scores. Those
are the kind of wheat, corn and soybean updates and
things that I've been talking with farmers in the last
we'll say, three or four days.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
John Jones out of the Midwest talking wheat harvest. This morning,
farm us, you're listening to wag Life.
Speaker 8 (07:31):
It's another agnews update. Conservation. How important is it in
a new farm bill? More after this?
Speaker 9 (07:42):
I'm Russ Kohler, a dairyman from Utah.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Safety.
Speaker 9 (07:46):
Know your limits. Heat stroke is life threatening. Know the
symptoms confusion, loss of consciousness, seizures, high body temperature, hot
dry skin, and profuse sweating. Reduce your risk during the
heat of the day by working earlier or later, allowed
time for water and rest breaks by drinking two to
four cups of water each hour.
Speaker 10 (08:04):
This public service message is brought to you by Farm
Bureau and the US AGG Centers.
Speaker 8 (08:10):
Chairman of the House AD Committee from Pennsylvania, Gt. Thompson.
Speaker 11 (08:13):
The Farm, Food and National Security Act was passed by
this committee last year and contains many bipartisan priorities in
this conservation title to build on the gains that we've
made in recent farm bills. This includes reforms to improve
the administration of our CPP, ACP, and the Small Watershed Program.
The bill encourages more innovation in the programs by requiring
more frequent updates to conservation practice standards and makes precision
(08:37):
agriculture eligible for cost Share and EQUIP and CSP. It
also proposed a modernization of CRP and important improvements to
the Technical Services Provider program. And while these are just
some of the reforms this committee can take in can
take to improve the administration of each program, we also
have a tremendous opportunity this Congress the bolster conservation programs
(08:58):
over the long term with signal again new funding. The Farm,
Food and National Security Act also propose re sending the
unobligated IRA conservation funding and reallocating it into Title II.
House Republicans are now trying to provide similar reinvestment through
the reconciliation process. Instead of letting the IRA funding expire,
investing it would provide additional funding for the programs that
(09:19):
we all know work and increase the baseline for the
Conservation title into perpetuity.
Speaker 8 (09:24):
It's another agnews update.
Speaker 12 (09:26):
Meet Blue, Blue's not feeling well the prescription generic medication.
Blue wonders do they really work as well as name brands? Yes,
generics and name brand medications do work the same, even
though they may look different. Generics have the same key ingredients.
FDA approval is equally rigorous for generics to make sure
they're as safe and effective as name brands, and Blue
(09:47):
even save some green, making him a little less well blue.
Talk to your doctor about generics and visit FDA dot
VP slash generic drugs.

Speaker 8 (10:24):
Secretary of Interior Doug Berghan taking questions from Representative Jared
Huffman from California.
Speaker 16 (10:31):
Now, you have said that American public lands are assets
that should be leveraged to pay down the national debt.
Finance experts, including the former Republican director of the CBO,
have said your proposal could only work if the US
entered into agreements with our foreign creditors to put specific
lands up as collateral. I want to ask you specifically,
because some of these creditors are China, Canada, France, India,
(10:53):
Saudi Arabia, UAE, will you put American public lands up
as collateral in agreements with any of these foreign interests.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
No, and the thing that you've just suggested has never
been discussed, never been in a meeting with that, So
I don't even know where that idea came from. This
is there when you're talking about leverage, meaning debt, but
we're talking about if we want to run advertisements to
the American people and say you got thirty you own
part of thirty six and a half trillion dollars of debt,
which we do every time we have a presidential campaign,
(11:21):
we should also be running ads and say Americans, you
own part of a one hundred trillion, two hundred trillion dollars.
Speaker 16 (11:27):
You have repeatedly said we should gent on our public lands.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
The national buyer, yes, because we're getting a horrifically poor
return on the assets that we have in our country.
If our national balance sheets worth a hundred trillion, and
Interior pulled in twenty billion, a one percent return on
one hundred trillion dollar balance sheet would be one trillion.
We'd have all kinds of money for you guys to
appropriate to spend on deferred maintenance. Our parks would be
(11:52):
sustainable forever. These are simple things, but you know we've
got the greatest resources land minerals, rare earth minerals, win
I mean, you name all the resources they have on
public land. We're managing them in a way where we're
getting really horrifically bad returns. And there's nothing contrary with
getting good returns. I mean, some of the companies that
have the highest return in the country are also the
(12:13):
greatest stewards of the assets that they manage.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
We can do the same.
Speaker 8 (12:16):
Thing, American Cattle News.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
This is Dairy Radio Now with Bill Baker.
Speaker 14 (12:26):
Farm transition planning is a big topic these days. Joining
us on our Producer Tuesday, brought to you by the
Professional Dairy Producers is Shane at Borakove, partner and attorney
and counselor at law at Bora Coove OSMA, LLC from
a recent PDP Dairy signal, who share some insights when
it comes to transitioning out of the farm.
Speaker 17 (12:45):
You know, one, I think farmers have to realize that
you are a client. When you walk into someone's office,
you are the one that is, you know, paying for services,
and you are the boss, you know. I think that
makes it a little bit easier to walk in and
to know that when you're walking in and you have
all the information that you need. You have a balance sheet.
That's important information to know, right, that's important information that
(13:07):
you have to share. And so it's the balance sheets,
it's the financial statements that you have that you're working
with your CPA with, right, And maybe you have a bookkeeper,
maybe you're you know, a member of your family is
organizing those things. So one balance statements. Yes, the tax
returns are often a good thing because it shows a
little bit more about your business structure, so you don't
(13:28):
have to be the one that's always answering questions. Questionnaire
I have found is I mean an essential tool that
we have that we expect our clients to complete because
if we're if they don't, we miss these minute details
end up becoming important.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Right.
Speaker 17 (13:42):
So the lay of the land, the personal information hugely important,
takes just a few minutes complete. But once it's done,
you don't have to go back to it. What is
a good outline of my assets? You know, farm and
personal because when we talk about farm transition, you know,
so much gets emphasized with the farm, and it should
be because that's what the conversations about. But those other
(14:03):
things like bank accounts, you know, other financial information, other
you know how you know spouses. If the farmer is married,
you know what does the spouse have, Is there a retirement,
you know benefits, Do they have a day to day
job that they have a four oh one k. All
that other personal information really goes into the analysis. What
is an appropriate transition that doesn't put anyone in a
(14:25):
bad situation.
Speaker 14 (14:26):
That's Attorney SHANEA. Borakove on a recent PDP Dairy signal
that you can hear in its entirety for free at
pdpw dot org her experiences and dealing with dairy farmers.
When it comes to farm transition planning, first.
Speaker 17 (14:39):
I want people to be very practical about things. If
I could ask my clients to do one more thing
is to actually write down what their goal is when
they think about farm transition, and then I want them
to truly evaluate whether that can happen. It's like I
want to get out of my farm in five years
and I want this person to take it over. And
then truly ask yourself is that possible? And have you
(15:00):
done enough to even make that happen? Because those can't
be forced and those can't be legally arranged. Visualizing, putting
the goal down and holding yourself accountable that and then
asking you yourself, is this a hope? Is this a desire?
Or is this a real goal that can be attained?
And have I done enough to make sure that this
goal can be attained within the timeframe that I want
(15:21):
it to be. So that's one too, is you know,
I think a big takeaway which I kind of underscored
when I was saying it, is there is sweat equity.
That's not just sweat equity, right, There is lost opportunity
costs when we're not doing transitions in our life. And
I would say, before someone just says I can't or
(15:41):
I won't, whatever the reason, look at the actual tax
ramifications of not transitioning during life. And if you're just
trying to come up with that solution in your mind,
that's not where it should be. It should actually be,
you know, if I it should be you know, I
kind of really want to do this, but I feel
like I can can't do it because of taxes. Because
(16:02):
your advisors can work, we have so many tools there
that it is sometimes it's putting the number and saying,
you know, this is actually the difference of the rental
income versus the capital gains. You know, it's not that bad.
It's like five thousand dollars a year. It could Seriously,
I mean some I did that the other day and
they're like, oh, I'm like, yeah, it's not Why aren't
(16:25):
you just selling it now? And they're like, yeah, why
aren't we just selling it now? So uh, don't Yeah,
don't have the tax tell wag the dog, right, but
don't use these excuses as something that prohibits you from
exploring the opportunities.
Speaker 10 (16:39):
Again.
Speaker 14 (16:39):
That's Shane Abora Cove, who is a partner attorney and
counselor at law at Bora Cove Osman, LLC, who shared
on a recent PDP Dairy signal some insights into farm
transition planning. And you can hear that in its entirety
for free simply by going to PDP's website at pdpw
dot org. Our thanks to the Professional Dairy Producers for
today's sponsorship of Producer Tuesday.
Speaker 18 (17:07):
When it comes to biological non chemical materials for pest
and diseases, is there a lot available for tree nuts?
I'm Patrick Cavanagh with a California tree Nut Report, part
of the vastag Information Network David Havilin is a uc
an R farm advisor specializing in anomology based in Kern County.
Speaker 19 (17:26):
It's a big yes and a no okay, So mating
insruption for example, for naval orangem huge almonds of pistachios.
There's about a half a million acre under main disruption
right now when you do the map. Literally as we
speak on the phone, there's some sixty plus million tree
being protected by main disruption from you know, from naval
(17:48):
orngrom mamound. That's remarkable, and.
Speaker 18 (17:50):
This fact is way different than it was just twenty
years ago.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
You know, the.
Speaker 19 (17:54):
Traditional days of you spray a pesticide to kill a pest.
You'll think about how remarkable main disruption is.
Speaker 18 (18:00):
Wow, it is very remarkable.
Speaker 19 (18:02):
You're not killing anything, You're just causing them not to
mate to prevent them from having any baby.
Speaker 18 (18:06):
And that vastly, very vastly reduces the population of these
damaging insects.
Speaker 19 (18:13):
We had to take it for granted that we do
this now, but it's actually a pretty novel idea.
Speaker 18 (18:17):
That's David Havlin. You see Farm Advisor Kerr County and
more news, the California Walnut Board and Commission have recently
launched a feel good campaign helping walnuts become something that
you want to eat every day.
Speaker 20 (18:30):
Farm work is tough, and so is staying safe on
the road. Every year, accidents happen when tractors and traffic
share the same space. Whether you're behind the wheel of
a tractor or a car, here's what you need to remember.
Tractors move slower, be patient, don't pass on hills or curves. Farmers,
make sure you're slow moving vehicles. Signs and lights are visible,
and everyone's sailor, especially on rural roads, One moment a
(18:52):
caution can save a life. Let's work together to keep
our roads and our farms safe. This message was brought
to you by the ag Information Network.
Speaker 10 (19:00):
Over forty years, the AGG Information Network has been providing
news and information for the most important industry in the world, agriculture.
The Egg Information Network gives you worldwide updates from local
producers to regional organizations, from major crops like wheat and corn,
to animal agriculture to specially crops like apples, almonds, and cherries.
We report on stories that mean the most to you
(19:21):
online at aginfo dot net. The AGG Information Network trusted
and transparent journalism lasting for the next generation.
Speaker 18 (19:28):
With the AG Information Network. I'm Patrick Kavanaugh.
Speaker 21 (19:31):
High oilin slabine oil is now being incorporated into dairy
cattle feed rations and is positively affecting animal health. Don
at Wiese, chairman of the United Slabean Boards Audit and
Evaluations Committee, says, it's been a journey to get the
high oil e slabean oil into cattle rations.
Speaker 22 (19:50):
We at USB brought the HEALA program forward and it
was all originally intended for food use for the healthier
soybean oil being produced from these highlyakes slabeans. But here
in the last short while, we are finding some benefits,
some significant benefits and areas of the feed industry, in
particular dairy. So you know, it is great to highlight
(20:11):
this new found benefit from highlakes soybeans going into dairy rations,
improving that overall butterfat yield. I as a farmer, really
like this from the standpoint that we are paving the
way for a more stable demand foundation going forward when
we can rely on both food juices which haven't gone away,
they're still there. But now we're bringing this exciting new
feed usage of highl x into the mix as well.
(20:33):
Real excited going forward.
Speaker 10 (20:34):
He said.
Speaker 21 (20:35):
Checkof dollars helped with a research on high oil like
soybeans and dairy cattle feed rations.
Speaker 22 (20:40):
It's a significant example of why we as US soybean
farmers pay into our checkof to promote our industry overall
and to bring big changes and developments to us that
come back to our own family farms around the country.
The high LAK program has been a perfect example, I
guess is how I would describe it as a place
where we've spent significant checkoff dollars but are now seeing
(21:02):
significant returns that are coming back to our farms. And
one of the pieces that was taking time to grow
is just being able to offer this to all US
soybean farmers. And we're not there yet, but now we're
in sixteen states, and with this continued development with dairy
you know it's going to expand to other states as
well when they are trying to partner with other dairy
locations around the country.
Speaker 21 (21:21):
Getting the soybean and the dairy cattle rations benefit soybean
farmers and cattle producers.
Speaker 22 (21:27):
I call it a win win. You know, we're witting
by seeing this going to the feed rations of dairy cows,
but also continuing to in a tighter margin environment seeing
new developments on the demand side for our soybeans, and
this is only going to continue to grow going forward
with the results that we're seeing coming out of that
benefit to the dairy industry. And there's some additional work
being done in swine right now too to look at this,
(21:48):
so we may not be done yet.
Speaker 21 (21:50):
Again at Is Don Wi's chairman of the United Swybean
Boards Audit and Evaluations Committee, and Don's a soybean farmer
from Indiana. The USDA is outlined it's planned to attack
the New World's screwworm now. That includes an eight point
five million dollar facility to produce steril flies in South Texas.
Agg's secretary Brook Rawlins said the agency is trying to
(22:12):
enhance its ability to detect, control, and eliminate the pels.
Cigarette Johans, the National Cattleman's Deep Association, says it's an
extremely expensive disease to eradicate, which is why prevention is key.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
The dominoes in Central America fell really fast, and we
saw from November of last year up and through the
winter in the spring, we saw this disease move really
quickly through Central America into Mexico, and that is why
it is such an urgent concern for the United States now,
because it is right at our southern neighbor, and we've
got to make sure we keep it out of the
US cattle herd. It is an extremely expensive disease to
(22:46):
eradicate once you have it, so prevention is worth everything here.
Speaker 21 (22:50):
One step was to close the bordered live cattle imports,
and another was to breed flies that are sterile so
they will mate in the wild with females and then
they will not produce all.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
And then they drop them into the environment, and these
sterilized mails in theory outcompete the mails in the environment
and gradually the population goes down. The trick with that, though,
is you need an awful lot of flies.
Speaker 21 (23:11):
There's currently one facility in Panama producing these flies. Mexico
is working on another, and this will get the US
asterile fly operation near the border. The USDA's National Agricultural
Statistics Service has mailed out the July Cattle Survey to
about eighteen thousand cattle operations nationwide to provide an update
measure of the US cattle inventories now. This is the
(23:35):
first July cattle survey mailed to producers since the reinstatement
of key reports was announced earlier this year. According to
NOACED Livestock Branch chief Travis Avril, the information helps producers
make timely informed of business decisions and plan for herd
expansion or reduction. It also helps packers and government leaders
(23:55):
evaluate expected slaughter volume for future months and determined potential
top applies for export. Now, during the first two weeks
of July, US cattle producers will have the opportunity to
report their beef and dairy cattle inventories, calf crop death loss,
and cattle on feed information, and then the July Cattle
reports had to be out on Friday, July twenty fifth

(29:04):
at two pm. I am Dwayne Merley.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Bob when here were some farm news this morning? Friends,
Well friends. North Dakota State University is one of multiple
organizations involved in the North Dakota herbicide Resistant Weed study.
Joe Eichley, an Assistant professor and extension weed specialist at
North Dakota State University, says the results aren't much different
than previous years.
Speaker 23 (29:29):
It is basically the same old suspects. The main agenda
for the survey this year is once again kosha and
pig weeds with real folkus on water having there are
some new weeds we're asking folks for this year.
Speaker 21 (29:41):
So these test kits that are.
Speaker 23 (29:42):
Available at every county Extension office also have a point
on blow that slave when I have a green foxtail
or wild oat.
Speaker 24 (29:48):
And so that is the test that.
Speaker 23 (29:49):
We are currently working with National ad Genotype and Center
to develop. So it won't be rapid results on those
grass species this year, but the hope is to get
this test fully developed or the winner, and that will
be two new species that we want to add with
a very rapid turnaround on results next year.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
He said.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
The genotyping tools used to identify the resistance have significantly improved.
Speaker 23 (30:12):
But it's really nice is the tests that we currently
have available. We just need some leaf tissue because then
they'll just subtract DNA from that leaf tissue. And these
mechanisms of resistance that we can test for are generally
a single target site mutation within the weeds. You know
what that really means of importance for us is they
can quickly get the DNA extracted find if that mutation exists,
and we know that some of these mutations confer resistance.
(30:34):
Within seven days, folks will have results in their hands.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Growers need to know where resistance is showing up in
fields at the county level. That means participating in the
survey is important.
Speaker 10 (30:44):
It's quite important.
Speaker 23 (30:45):
And one thing I always like to talk about that
I think is an extra type of importance with this
survey is that the only one who gets their individual
results back are the person who submits that test, and
we will put these county level maps together and that
will really help us kind of track where we're seeing
life state resistance Group nine herbicide life states and in
our group two and Group fourteen herbicides for distance and
(31:05):
kosher and waterhamp to those products, which are all very
important for sobean production. That's the other important thing that
we as want as many samples as possible really get
a better understanding of what there are hot spots on
the areas to look out for us so that folks
can plant their herbicide programs better.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Joe Eichley, North Dakota State University we resistance survey going on. Well. Friends,
dry weather should continue during the harvest in South America.
Riley Smith takes a look for us this morning.
Speaker 13 (31:33):
Now much is changed for the weather in South America
and the upcoming forecast is still looking to be dry
the dry and it should be good for harvest progress,
but at some point the weather will get too dry
and start to cause some problems. Allendale commodity broker at
Greg McBride gave an update on the latest conditions in
Brazil and Argentina.
Speaker 24 (31:48):
Yet very dry forecast in the one to five day.
Only northern Brazil has a little bit of rain. For
the most part of the southern two thirds of the
entire country are dry. Of Argentina is dry, so harvest
should move along pretty swiftly for those two countries over
the next five days. Six to ten day does offer
(32:11):
a little bit of rain for parts of eastern Argentina
and southern Brazil, but for the most part the bulk
of the country of Brazil is dry.
Speaker 13 (32:20):
It's a freena. Harvest progress in Brazil is still behind
the average, but they have such a large crop that
it will take longer than usual. Anyways, they're moving right along.
Speaker 24 (32:27):
It is still behind the five year average, well behind
last year. So last year they were at thirty percent harvested.
By now this is an extended period of time that
they will harvest. This will take probably until September or so.
But overall it is right now eleven percent harvested. For
(32:47):
their second crop corn. The five year average puts them
at fifteen. Like I said, the last year they were
already at thirty percent done. But this is a big
crop too. This is a is a record crop that
they are harvesting. This will take longer to harvest as well.
Speaker 13 (33:02):
McBride added that soybean harvest in Argentina is basically done
at this point.
Speaker 24 (33:07):
Well, they are effectively done on soybeans ninety percent to
complete as of this week. Obviously five year average and
last year would have been right about the same time
they were done, so getting the last of it in
the in the bin or in the bag for right now,
so we won't be talking about that moving forward. But
(33:27):
on the corner side of things, they are still still
moving along. About two thirds done, sixty four percent this week.
That is just behind last year, which and the five
year average is sixty eight so they're they're not lagging
too much, just slightly behind the average and behind last year,
but overall still moving right along in Argentina.
Speaker 13 (33:47):
That again was Allendale Commodity broker Greg McBride. I'm Riley
Smith reporting.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Farm US this morning. You're listening to WAG Life.
Speaker 15 (33:58):
From the Bag Information Network. Did this is your agribusiness update?
San Joaquin County cherry grower Tom Goateelly reflected on a
difficult season for California growers, many losing up to half
their crop. Katelli tells ag Alert he thinks warmed temperatures
in December and January affected the tree's dormancy. He says,
we exported a decent amount, but a greater share of
(34:18):
our cherries went to the domestic market this year, but
because of the light crop, no one got what they wanted.
US China tensions and the resulting tariffs cost US farmers
two billion dollars and lost exports this year. A North
Dakota State University study says the lost sales to China
far surpassed modest gains elsewhere. From January to April, agricultural
(34:40):
exports to China contracted by over five billion dollars, up
to fifty five percent lower than last year. US exports
to South Asia, the EU, and Central America climbed by
forty three, thirty nine and twenty four percent, respectively. Reuters
says farmers cut some losses early this year. Across the
US wheat belt. The farmers chose to bail the wheat
(35:02):
into hay, plow some fields under, or turn them over
to greazing animals. The Great Planes are home to much
of the US grown hardbread winter wheat, but with prices
around five dollars a bushel, wheat, farmers are faced with
losing money or killing off their crops.
Speaker 10 (35:16):
You've probably been told that to reach a millennial farmer
you have to go digital hmm, Facebook, Vimeo, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn,
and online publication or maybe a podcast hmm, but which one? Oh,
and how receptive is this age group to your sales
pitch during non work social time. Maybe the best place
(35:37):
to reach a farmer with a farming solution message is
when they are well, quite frankly farming. You know, it's
easy for us to find them during the day, as
most farmers are behind the wheel of a pickup truck
or farm equipment with the radio on. Listening to this
station for the agg Information Network of the West News.
If you'd like to deliver information about your terrific product
(35:59):
or service, give us a call and we'll connect you
directly with our community of loyal farmer listeners. Reach real
farmers right here, right now as they listen to what
is important to their farm operation. They trust us, They'll
trust you.
Speaker 15 (36:14):
From the ag Information Network, I'm Bob Larson with today's
agribusiness update.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
For more, go to aginfolk dot Net.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
Bob quin back to wrap up baglie for today, Friends,
we wrap up by focusing on pets and keeping them
safe and extreme heat. Rod Bain has our final report.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Summer hot enough a near nation wide heat wave in
some places triple digit high temperatures not good for humans
add their pets, as Kathy Capitelli of USDA's Addible at
Plant Health Inspection Service offers as advice.
Speaker 25 (36:45):
You feel like it's muggy and hot, your dog or
cat or other pets feel it too, even more so so.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Keeping pets at it. Indoor setting a cooler area with
air conditioning or a fad is needed to keep pets
from experiencing heat stress. Even outdoor, pets with heat tolerance
need to.
Speaker 25 (37:01):
Be able to access shade outside of their normal shelter.
When the sun is eating down and baking those shelters,
the temperature inside those can get very hot very quickly.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Having a kiddie pool filled with water outside allows pets
opportunity to keep cool.
Speaker 25 (37:16):
Also, because they regulate the temperature through evaperative or conductive cooling,
they need to have some air movement. That's why it's
very dangerous to leave a pet.
Speaker 24 (37:23):
In a car.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Another thing to keep in mind the pets that are.
Speaker 25 (37:26):
Going to be more susceptible to heat stress are going
to be pets who may be overweight or underweight, old
or very young, pregnant or nursing, or have medical conditions
that maybe create more stress on their body.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Also more susceptible to heat stress.
Speaker 25 (37:41):
In dogs, in particular the short nose breaths like pugs, bulldogs, Pekinese,
and others. They are not able to cool themselves as
efficiently as other breeds.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
Sides of heat stress and pets include.
Speaker 25 (37:53):
Excessive panting, salivation, if they're very thirsty, if they appear
restless or anxious, like they can't get comfortable, or they're
generalized weak and not interested in activity.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
And what should a pet odor look for regarding signs
of heat stroke in their animals.
Speaker 25 (38:10):
Heat stroke kind of sets in when directed temperature comes
above one o four degrees fahrenheit. In that you might
start to see really rough or uncontrollable panting, Their gums
might appear to be dark red, or it might feel
sticky to the touch, Vomiting or bloody diarrhea. Those kind
of go hand in hand with dehydration, inability to stand, trembling, dizziness,
(38:30):
or disorientation. All of these can progress rapidly to collapse, unconsciousness, seizures,
or even death.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
There are immediate treatments that should start what signs of
heat stress or heat stroke. Become a parent, get a pet.
Speaker 25 (38:44):
You want to get them into a cool, shaded area
