This year, beach ridge erosion reduction and water flow retardation strategies will be targeted first. These strategies will slow beach ridge run-off, which causes erosion and poor water quality from sediments and nutrients; restrict flows by use of culverts and dikes; retard flows of water; and proven tools such as stream bank erosion projects, buffer strips, wetland restorations and cover crops. Together these strategies will improve water quality, reducing nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment and provide changed flows, enhancing available supplies and positively impacting erosion patterns. Proposed cuts to Farm Bill are too much and America’s hungry. Unfortunately, we will get no credit for this effort, and I fear that others will now step in and dictate how much we have to cut and tell us how to do it. “Last year, the House passed a budget that suggested a $30 billion cut to commodity and crop insurance programs, a roughly $20 billion cut to conservation programs and a $127 billion cut to the SNAP program. You cannot pass a Farm Bill with cuts like those. The Administration’s recent budget also recommended $30 billion in cuts to commodity and crop insurance programs. Again, you cannot have an adequate farm safety net with those reductions. “It’s really amazing to me that the strongest part of our nation’s economy – the agriculture sector – is repeatedly asked to bear a disproportionate share of cuts. While commodity prices have been high in recent years, any farmer can tell you that will not always be the case and a strong safety net needs to be in place when prices fall. “I think the Budget Views and Estimates letter makes clear that if the Agriculture Committee is left alone to do its work, we will work together to reduce the deficit in a responsible way while continuing to best represent our constituents. I support the letter and urge all members to vote for its adoption. “Again, I thank the chair for holding today’s meeting and look forward to working together on the 2012 Farm Bill.” Look beyond crude protein to measure Minnesota soybean quality by Seth Naeve, University of Minnesota Extension Today, most soybeans are processed to separate the oil from the high-protein meal fraction. These two 'co-products' make the seed valuable to the end user and make the soybean a profitable crop for U.S. producers. The protein content of the soybean impacts the protein content of the soybean meal, and end users pay a premium for high-protein meal. Because these premiums get passed down through the value chain, higher-protein soybeans command a premium at the first point of sale, the local elevator. Normally, producers don't see this price differential because long-term variation in soybean quality is built into the local price as a part of the basis. Occasionally, local protein levels can dip low enough that grain handlers begin docking for low-protein soybeans delivered to local elevators. This occurred in an area in south central Minnesota in the fall of 2011. There, many farmers accepted a 15-cent per bushel penalty for low-protein soybeans. Soybeans grown in the northern and western ranges of the U.S. Corn Belt tend to have lower protein than soybeans grown elsewhere in the U.S. or in South America. This puts farmers in Minnesota and the Dakotas at risk of being penalized for low protein levels, but what can be done? Farmers can have a direct impact on the quality of the grain that they sell in the fall by selecting the higher-protein lines from among the top-yielding varieties available. Because it is not always easy to identify high-yielding varieties with high-protein seed, it is critical for U.S. producers to educate end-users about other positive attributes of northern grown soybeans. With the support of soybean checkoff organizations from Minnesota, South and North Dakota, University of Minnesota researchers have shown that the protein fraction from northern grown soybeans tends to be slightly enriched in the amino acids most important to swine and poultry. While there may be less protein overall, it appears to be of a greater quality than once thought. In addition, there appears to be other minor constituents in the seed of northern grown soybeans that provide additional value to the end user. Researchers are currently quantifying these additional factors. Farm leaders from Minnesota and the Dakotas will travel with me – a soybean agronomist with University of Minnesota Extension – to the Philippines, Thailand and China this month to educate end-users about the positive attributes of northern grown soybeans. If nutritionists can look beyond crude protein as a measure of quality, Minnesota farmers should soon see increased prices for their soybeans at market.
