Late Corn Harvest Worries Feeders About Vomitoxin
By Pat Hill
DTN Markets Editor
Omaha (DTN) — Even though producers have made huge strides in harvesting corn the last two weeks, wrapping up this year’s harvest remains a challenge.
High moisture content, low test weights, damaged corn and high drying costs have been ongoing concerns since well before the first bushel was combined, and now there are also reports of vomitoxin and other mycotoxins in some parts of the Corn Belt.
Vomitoxin, (also called deoxynivalenol or DON), more commonly associated with wheat, is a chemical produced by Fusarium, a fungus, which gets its start in a plant at pollination. The fungus can be present but the plant won’t necessarily develop the vomitoxin unless conditions at harvest are right, according to DTN Agronomist Dan Davidson.
“Corn on corn or corn on wheat is more susceptible, and Oklahoma and Texas are generally more vulnerable,” said Davidson.
This year, there are reports of vomitoxin in parts of the Eastern Corn Belt. Excessive levels of certain mycotoxins can sicken or kill animals.
Chris Hurt, ag economist at Purdue, said he became concerned that there could be a problem when he had calls in early November from hog producers whose hogs were refusing to eat the 2009-crop corn.
Northeast Indiana, northwest Ohio, north-central Iowa, eastern Nebraska and southwestern Minnesota have all been mentioned by industry sources as having reports of vomitoxin. The extent of the problem is a subject of debate; some analysts are discounting the reports, while other industry sources are estimating as much as 5 to 7 percent of the corn in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio could be affected.
In response to concerns about vomitoxin levels, the Chicago Board of Trade is set to add vomitoxin specifications to its corn contracts. “We will be announcing something with the details. We have reached out to the trade and are reaching a consensus on the appropriate vom levels,” said CME Group spokesperson Mary Haffenberg.
Vomitoxin is of particular concern in distillers grain, since processing the corn at ethanol plants may concentrate the vomitoxin.
Hurt said his sense is that the general tone of the grain industry is “watching closely, not testing every load.” He said he knew of one ethanol plant that wasn’t requiring specific tests for every load, but was running composite samples.
“My sense is the grain industry will be extremely sensitive when they have a buyer that starts to say they will reject trainloads of corn if there are problems,” Hurt said. “Elevators cannot afford to buy a product from a farmer if they will get a heavy discount from their buyers.’’
It’s probably too soon to say how the issue will affect the markets, although DTN Senior Analyst Darin Newsom said he will be interested to see if buyers adjust discount rates out of fear of what they might face up the pipeline.
Hurt said producers who find vomitoxin in their corn should pay particular attention to which varieties were affected. Next year, they should look for varieties that are resistant, and on fields where the vomitoxin was present, it’s important to plant something else next spring. “Get that [land] out of corn because vomitoxin will overwinter. Don’t leave residue on the top,” Hurt advised.
WET CORN OF LESS CONCERN
Corn is still coming out of many fields with more than the desired 14- or 15-percent moisture, but sunshine has dropped moisture levels of corn coming into the Western Grain Marketing in Rushville, Ill., into the low 20s. Producers bringing in corn at those levels are seeing 20 to 25 cents a bushel in drying charges, according to Gordon Miller, WGM manager.
Miller is concerned about propane supplies, though. “We’re struggling to keep up. We have four locations that depend on propane for dryers. We haven’t had to shut down, but as we go forward, the issue could be more difficult,’’ Miller told DTN. Test weights on some corn have also been an issue. In Miller’s area, discounts are typically assessed on corn that tests below 54 pounds per bushel.
Scott Docherty, general manager of Topflight Grain Coop, in Bement, Ill., and other locations, said corn in the field in his area probably lost about 2 points of moisture. “Yields are still coming in good,” Docherty said. “A lot of producers who penciled 170 to 180 [bushels per acre] are seeing 190 to 215.” Docherty said Topflight Grain Coop has natural gas dryers, so they have no issues with propane shortages. He said they had record-high use of natural gas last year and will use another 50 to 60 percent over last year’s record.
Greg Dolbeare, general manager of Farmers Elevator Company of Lowder in southern Illinois, also reported tremendous strides in harvest in the last two weeks. He said he’s been monitoring the damage on corn coming across his scales, and he’s seeing less damage as harvest has progressed. “Early on, some days we had damage around 25 percent,” Dolbeare said, but out of 200 loads, only five had more than 10 percent damage. Dolbeare said he thinks the crop will be in the upper third percentile yield-wise, maybe the second or third best out of the last 10 years. “In the west/southwest district of Illinois, a lot of June-planted corn is coming in beautiful. It has matured, dried down into the low 20s, maybe that’s saving us.’’
The Lowder facility uses propane, but pulls from a pipeline out of St. Louis, so Dolbeare doesn’t expect any problems. He’s grateful that propane prices are less than two-thirds the price seen last year, so drying charges are much less.
TAMU Fit To Finish Show Cattle Camp December 12-13
College Station – The TAMU Fit to Finish Show Cattle Camp is scheduled Dec. 12-13 at the Pearce Pavilion on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station.
“There is no question that the 4-H and FFA members who exhibit cattle in the state of Texas represent some of the most competitive and well respected exhibitors in the nation. The concept of the upcoming TAMU Fit to Finish Show Cattle Camp held in December is to emphasize the grooming and fitting skills needed to maximize a student’s cattle project,” said Paul Maulsby, event coordinator and Texas A&M Beef Center manager. “The information is targeted towards the first time exhibitor as well as the experienced. The intention is to share the experience that the staff has gained in presenting and showing champions throughout the state and the nation to provide participants with an edge to help them find their place in the winners circle.”
Topics to be covered in the camp are grooming and fitting practices of the beef cattle project, whether it is breeding heifers or steers, both haired and slick. Additionally, time management for show preparation and showmanship sessions will be available and directed by some of the most talented fitters, exhibitors and judges throughout the state. Sessions address such topics as:
• Clipping and grooming for different cattle types.
• Show day fitting through feed, weight management for steers (weigh backs).
• Evaluation, fitting and grooming and time management on show day.
Participants can bring their own animals and are encouraged to do so, however if this is not a possibility, the Beef Center will have a limited amount of animals available for camp activities. Arrival for camp is optional for Friday, December 11th with final arrival time Saturday, December 12 from 8-10 a.m. and sessions start at 10:30 a.m.
Camp will end the evening of December 13 after the simulated show and showmanship contest. Parents and leaders are welcome to attend at the leader and parent fee. Lodging is the responsibility of the participants, Maulsby said. A block of rooms has been made available at the College Station Ramada Inn on University.
Participants will be provided meals throughout the camp and awards will be given for the showmanship contest. Cost for each student in the camp is $175 with each additional parent or leader fee of $75.
Complete information and scheduling can be obtained by contacting Maulsby event coordinator and Beef Center manager at 979-587-2835. Additionally, participants can acquire information online at http://animalscience.tamu.edu/images/pdf/youth/fit-to-finish-show-cattle-camp09.pdf.
Students Drawn To Ag Schools Increased By 21%
Champaign, Ill. (AP) — Tristesse Jones will probably never drive a tractor or guide a combine through rows of soybeans at harvest time.
There isn’t a farm within miles of where she grew up on Chicago’s west side, but she’s set to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in crop sciences from the University of Illinois’ agriculture school next spring.
“People ask me what is my major, and they say ‘What is that? So you want to grow plants?’” Jones said.
She is one of a growing number of students being drawn to ag schools around the country not by ties to a farm but by science, the job prospects for those who are good at it and, for some, an interest in the environment.
Enrollment in bachelor’s degree programs in agriculture across the country grew by 21.8 percent from 2005 to 2008, from about 58,300 students to nearly 71,000, according to surveys conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. And the numbers are likely higher — not all schools respond to the surveys.
National enrollment figures for 2009 aren’t yet available, but numbers from major schools make clear the trend continues: The University of California-Davis has more than 5,490 students enrolled in agricultural majors — a jump of 210 from a year earlier. Purdue University has 2,575 ag students this fall, up 40 from last year.
Yet the number of farms nationwide has dropped for decades. There were about 2.4 million farms in the United States in 1978, and 2.2 million last year, according to the USDA.
Many students are choosing to major in agriculture, educators from across the country say, after finding out that much of what they’ll learn is science — biology, chemistry and a long list of more specialized areas that can land them jobs at companies that produce the seeds and chemicals for farmers or in still-
forming industries like biofuels.
Almost a quarter of the incoming freshmen at the University of Wisconsin each year say they want to do “something in biology,” said Bob Ray, associate dean for undergraduate programs and services.
Agriculture schools are doing their best to reach out to such students.
Texas A&M University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences has several full-time recruiters on the road talking to high school students. It also uses its Web site, YouTube and social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter to reach prospective students. A lot of the messages boil down to job prospects.
“Every one of our poultry science graduates, they average about five job offers per graduate,” college spokesman Bill Gibbs said.
Demand for science graduates, agriculture industry officials say, outstrips supply.
Monsanto, the St. Louis agribusiness giant that makes seeds, pesticides and an array of other farm products, can’t hire enough.
“We find it really hard to find people in science, in particular, because they tend to get snatched up by medical and health care-related things,” said Monsanto spokesman Darren Wallis, adding that it has openings for 100 researchers in St. Louis.
UC-Davis’ College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences is one of the country’s biggest ag schools and still has plenty of students studying in traditional areas, said Diane Ullman, the college’s associate dean for undergraduate academic programs.
But more than 3,200 of UC-Davis’ ag students — almost 60 percent — are studying so-called human sciences, such as nutrition, or environmental sciences, such as environmental policy and landscape architecture.
“I think that young people are recognizing all of the issues that surround our society that have to do with food, and I think there’s a real interest in new ways of doing things and solving some of these problems,” Ullman said.
Kate Molak is one of the students Ullman is talking about.
Molak is from Portola Valley, a suburb of San Jose, and plans to graduate in June with a bachelor’s degree in community regional development. She wants to work in public health.
“I wouldn’t say that agriculture necessarily has anything to do with that, but we do deal with a lot of environmental issues with public health,” she said.
At Illinois, Jones said she wound up in the ag department after her high school pompon coach — who happened to be a biology teacher — steered her toward a summer science program at the university.
“I always liked to pick apart worms — I thought I was a weirdo,” Jones said.
Now she’s applying to graduate programs and hoping she’ll eventually be a research professor, maybe working on how to grow a better soybean.
“I love doing research,” she said. “Just having that hands-on experience, and being able to see the product, even if it takes years to see it.”
El Nino To Linger Warmest Winters In U.S. Expected
New York (Dow Jones) — The weather phenomenon known as El Nino will strengthen through the current winter season in the Northern Hemisphere and is expected to reach “at least moderate strength,” U.S. government forecasters said.
Strong El Nino episodes have been linked with some of warmest recent winters in the U.S. and across northern Europe. El Nino is also said to be a factor in the current relatively uneventful Atlantic Hurricane season, which lasts through Nov. 30.
El Nino is the name given to the unusual warming of the waters of the equatorial Pacific Ocean, with far reaching consequences.
“There continues to be disagreement among the models on the eventual strength of El Nino,” NOAA said, but the majority indicate an event of at least moderate strength is expected. NOAA said it is also unclear how long this event will persist, but it could continue through March to May 2010.
“Expected El Nino impacts during November 2009-January 2010 include enhanced precipitation over the central tropical Pacific Ocean and a continuation of drier-than-average conditions over Indonesia,” NOAA said.
“For the contiguous United States, potential impacts include above-
average precipitation for Florida, central and eastern Texas, and California, with below-average precipitation for parts of the Pacific Northwest. Above-average temperatures and below-average snowfall is most likely for the Northern Rockies, Northern Plains, and Upper Midwest, while below-average temperatures are expected for the southeastern states,” NOAA said.
National Feeder Cattle Summary
St. Joseph, MO — November 13 (F-S) National feeder cattle receipts: 381,500. Long-weaned feeder calves over 600 lbs and limited sales of true yearling feeders sold weak to $2 lower with the full declines most prevalent late in the week. Short-weaned feeder calves weighing from 550-700 lbs traded $2-4 lower with further discounts for undesirable quality or conditioning imposed. Price trends for stocker calves under 550 lbs were very uneven, ranging from $3 lower to $3 higher with the full range being represented in the Southeastern calf markets that are usually flourishing this time of year with tighter numbers and abundant orders for rugged crossbreds that possess a bit more age than they show. This week’s feeder pressure was mostly tied to the CME Board as both live and feeder contracts suffered losses on every trading session except Friday. Fed cattle sales also pressured the feeder market with prices $2-4 lower from $83-85 live and $130-132 dressed. The lower finished cattle market was a bit of a surprise to many cattle feeders, some of whom turned down much better bids late last week. Just a month ago, packers jumped out and aggressively started pushing the market that eventually gained up to $7 in just three weeks amid monster-sized cattle on the showlists. The average dressed steer carcass set an all-time record high the week ending October 10th at 870 lbs, but fell 19 lbs by the week ending the 31st. But, beef demand is lacking and we are heading into the leanest time of year as consumers turn their tastes toward white meat for the holiday season. The supply of middle-weight calves from 550-700 lbs currently outweighs the demand which is evident by the wide price spreads within narrow weight ranges. Availability of these “big” calves is ample enough that buyers can obtain exactly the type of cattle that they want without pushing the market. The steer and heifer spread continues to widen and it’s getting late enough in the year that most orders can be filled with weaned offerings, leaving little demand for those that are not. Lightweight stocker calf trading is undergoing the unevenness that usually comes a month earlier as unseasonably warm temperatures this past week and the wide spread between daytime highs and nighttime lows is taking its toll on health conditions. Wheat pasture is ready, but many backgrounders are having to restraighten up earlier purchases that they thought were ready to go. This resulted in less demand for lightweight stockers this week, but wheat pastures are rank in most areas of the Southern Plains and more calves will be needed to fully stock them. Though, handling facilities are few on wheat fields and these short days do not provide enough daylight for backgrounders and caretakers to pre-condition after turn-out. So, calf buying could lag until temperatures become more constant after a hard freeze which could coincide with the completion of harvest and new buying interests from the north. This week’s reported auction volume included just 33 percent over 600 lbs and 41 percent heifers.
