G.m. Packed show the cattle on feed report packing some surprises Gary Crawford will update us on that we'll talk about to feeding the world with the estimates that by 2020 the planet will have an estimated 2000000000 more people to feed and 2 times more food to produce and talk some about the extended crop system we're seeing from growers with the weed resistance and a whole lot more course Patrick Kavanagh will be here to Goober will be here as well and let's get started world rabies day years coming up tomorrow rabies are still human public health problem worldwide though the United States is an example of ways where the members or the numbers can be brought down drastically here Stephanie ho with more rabies is a problem around the world from a global perspective circulation of rabies and domestic dogs is the most pressing public health problem because of the close companion nature of dogs with humans when their circulation and a mystic dog you have a lot of cases of humans that we see mean Gilbert project leader for the rabies research project at U.S.C.'s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service or a fence she says there are about $60000.00 human fate Televisa due to reveals each year most of the $60000.00 cases occur and Africa and and Asia and so domestic dogs are still a very important reservoir of the virus and source of the virus circulation she says this worldwide number contrasts sharply with the number of human rabies deaths in the United States since we are in the United States considered canine rabies free we don't have very many human cases of rabies each year on average there's probably about $2.00 to $4.00 cases of human rabies each year in the United States why are the numbers so low don't occur be a field coordinator with the National rabies management program has some recent history of the evolution of rabies in the United States beginning in the 1980s it became a trend such that wildly started to account for more than 90 percent of cases reported in the u. At annual basis prior to that time a majority of cases reported in the us annually occurred in domestic thinking such as dog and cat she points to specific steps that have helped bring that number down but over time through increased vaccination effort as well as regulation and leash laws we began to see a shift the shift she's talking about is how rabies in the United States became more prevalent among wild animals including bats recommends and skunks in the eastern u.s. Through the northeast as well as the Mid Atlantic in the selfie record absolutely make up the number one the season which we see rabid cases every year she says record and pose a threat to people because they like to be near them and are tolerated in areas where humans tend to congregate with raccoons being one of the number one the sheet in which cases are reported every year it creates a little bit more of a challenge because they do thriving human environment in the eastern u.s. Where we have high human populations that are she says authorities are not only working on improving rabies vaccines for reckons they hope to completely eliminate racoon rabies in the United States within 30 years meanwhile for countries that are not as fortunate as the United States Amy Gilbert emphasizes the importance of raising public awareness and some areas folks may not be aware that they can vaccinate their animals or they may not be aware that an effective vaccine for him and the vaccines do work but in order for them to work they have to be administered before the disease reaches the nervous system this is definitely how to proceed. Here. In your career from here so she was in. My face. Forward out by the federal government as a fence happen to go forward. But we will be interested to read India was one of the worst made a decision is power to. The 67 and 14. This is a life on power Talk 967 and I am 1400 the 2nd a bad life brought to you by Fresno but there are a farm credit on our Talk 967 and 8 am 1400 some surprises in the latest u.s.d.a. Cattle on feed report Gary Crawford has them for us good morning Gary ahead of last Friday's Agriculture Department cattle on feed report many market analysts thought the feedlot placement numbers during August would be down about 3 percent from August a year ago and the fact that the report came in about 3 percent higher probably will be a little bit surprising to some of the analysts not surprised as u.s.d.a. Livestock analyst shale shock and now we 1st asked him why so many analysts thought placements would be down and we knew the answer before we asked we do this game all the times it's very difficult for me to say what's in the in the in the minds of the individual analysts have there you go but here's why he thinks placements were up Shagun says 1st the June cattle inventory report showed more cattle available outside t. Lot 2nd on the feedlot side the returns were good earlier in the year and they were willing to do it to bid up the prices of those calves to to keep their bums full and that's what they did look at the price of the 752800 pound calves is in Oklahoma City right now they're running about $154.10 weight they were $135.00 this time a year ago however with more than expected placements last month the feedlot inventory now 4 percent more than a year ago it will probably have some downward pressure on fed cattle prices on the futures when we start talking about the late winter early spring contract months so right now where does that leave folks in the beef chain 1st cow calf operators how are they doing probably reasonably well part of it being driven by the fact that we have seen in the past month feedlots bidding up the price of cabs so that's being transmitted back to the cow calf operator but of course there are some serious exceptions to that reasonably well category if you're in northern plains Kalki if operator backgrounder you know you're faced with a bad dire situation. If you don't have the force and many don't because of the doubt next shot him says the squeeze is now on for feedlot operators because they are looking probably relatively weak prices going forward but these are going to be based on having to find returns from the board a considerably higher price 6 months ago so he says he thought margins may start slipping into the negative here shortly that leaves the Packers the Packers are doing very very well because of there's a large supply of cattle out there and they don't feel the necessity of bidding up prices to get the number of animals that they want currently u.s.d.a. Forecasting the national average deer price this year to be about the same as 2016 about 121 dollars 100 next year though with production up over 2 percent he says prices should average around 116-211-7100 weight Gary Crawford here mentioned earlier that Bob Quinn is off in the Midwest he's checking out the apple orchards and to the Korean very harvest up in the Wisconsin area the fall colors as well in parts of northeastern I will one of the most scenic areas in all of the country this time here and he joins us here on Ag lak this morning Bob I understand that your attempt brite box which is one of the most well known tenderloin shops in all of the state of Iowa I would imagine that tenderloin is long gone now rather than trying to bring some back forth. That has to be the number one thing to do in your Northeast you can make a football town stop and see the bike and get to me getting there at the right box were in there yesterday a little bit in the force believe it was 23 years ago they were the top winner in the Tenderloin contest they're also on the higher with tenderloin trail so if you're looking to get your passport stamped for trying some of the best tenderloins in the state of Iowa you can do that right by as well and of course it also as we said after a couple of times yesterday is home probably best overlooked in the Mississippi River Valley in the entire state of Ohio if you that many times yes I certainly have what you know what I haven't seen though is I've not seen the place you are which is the Gays Mills gateway to Wisconsin orchard What was the crop like yeah you know it's about halfway through the season there are some Fridays that have not been there yet like that the ambrosia variety is a little bit later season Friday that incremental October Honeycrisp are still here Honeycrisp is one of the most popular varieties of apples and so they still have a lot of the Honeycrisp but they have run out of some early season varieties already but I'm average season mess and nothing now standing but still it wasn't short you know you get back in our country we're talking about short crops they have been blessed with plenty of rainfall one thing you do notice oh by the way we're Gays Mills which is on the Kickapoo river and it said kind of a gateway to Apple country as you're coming into Wisconsin the big apple festival was this past weekend and we talk a lot about cranberry harvest as well cranberry harvest going on now they're big weekend just past weekend as well in the war and Wisconsin which is kind of the home of a lot of ocean spray growers milieu with Ocean Spray cranberry juice a lot of it comes from the state of Wisconsin right into into Iowa grocery stores but back to Apple country one thing was known. The trees that have not changed color yet and normally were a little bit further along it seems like so their season is probably 12 weeks behind what we normally see this time here and what did you see in regard to fall colors Bob one thing I've kind of noticed is that once the leaves change they don't hang on the trees very long due to the dry weather here in southern Iowa we have noticed that the phone conversations real real short and the other things notices were probably a couple of weeks ahead of their weekend they are in the southern half of the state no lack of water into the street that's and that's going to be a concern going forward as we find issues so I'm less sure they had told us they can post holes here couple of weeks ago and we're about 3 and a half feet 4 feet down and still has not had any water and usually in our neck of the woods you get about 18 inches down you start to see it more as you show up so subsoil moisture top so much you're subsoil moisture very very short but I can say the rivers are here are flowing a fairly well and everything looks like it's had a good drink of water in the last couple weeks now you're headed up to what cranberry harvest tomorrow. We are talking about that with the health care we'll talk with out of our work going on with that property as well I take it you've got your waiters with you. Yeah we're going to make it some of those commercials but I've got my snorkeling outfit ready so we can start talking about cranberry are perfect thanks. And we look forward to checking in again with Bob tomorrow and actually talk cranberries brought you here by Fresno Maghera Farm Credit This is Act life on power Talk 967 and I am 1400 now American cattle news Jerry life is presented by Linda recruitment into Larry this is here in radio now a rundown of the latest theory news across America with Bill Baker the move to replace California's current milk pricing system with a federal order is moving forward this week that's what they propose standalone quota system for producers to vote on Patrick Cavanagh joins us from the Central Valley of the Golden State with the latest details next. Set sail for Madison Wisconsin and discover new dairy worlds October 3rd through the 7th at the 2017 world there.

The state of California published a quota implementation plan this week which is something that the California dairy industry wanted in order to even consider voting for the federal milk marketing plan Jeff Gannon who has a Southern California dairy men as well as working with another Producers Council a nonprofit organization representing dairy families throughout California it's exactly the produce review board. Recommended it there's no change and so I would say that the producer Review Board did an excellent job of finding a stand alone quota program. Operate in the event Caliph. Producers decide to go into a federal order then Hill said it was a good move for the California diary industry yeah at the end of the day there was overwhelming support on the produce review board for this plan and secretary did not make any changes so it now goes out to a vote of the producers and it's very important that the producers vote yes on this plan. They can do that with confidence it's a good plan in terms of maintaining a quota program a standalone state run Cota plan and if that gets passed then we'll be able to consider a federal order either later this year or early next year when that comes out then and who will set that quota has a big value for the dairy man in California in the California system dairy men have been able to essentially buy a bigger a larger price by buying quota and so you know some daring then would rather invest in land and grow their own feet you know it's a tool and so during the over the years and the system has been in place for 40 well since 1969 this quota has traded hands many times and there Eamon have decided to either buy it or sell it depending on you know their circumstances and so it's imbedded into our California system and here is a very important aspect of the quota its market value right now is well over a $1000000000.00 And so obviously producers they want to hang on to that value so they'd like a better milk price for all their milk and that's why we're looking at the federal order because federal orders pay better than the state order and so we like to get into a federal order but federal orders don't have that quota program and so it was weighing the $1000000000.00 asset against a better milk and of course we said hey we would like. Find a way to get a better bill price and still maintain that vote for him so what we found here is a way to do that let's shift Vanden Heuvel a telephone to dairy men and on staff with a milk but do Cers council I'm Patrick Kavanagh with dairy radio now cotton seed in your good me more cash in your pocket because cotton seeds high fat content makes it an excellent source of energy production.

I'm Bill Baker with American cattle news we are seeing prices coming down that's u.s.d.a. Livestock analyst says consumers are seeing lower beef prices because there's a lot of supply out there what we're prices going for per pound last month the u.s.d.a. Benchmark choice fee for ice was a $5.97 we were $6.00 or $0.10 and July so we have seen the effect of some of that decline in also prices. Being transmitted to the retail price and that's for choice cuts but when you factor in all beef including hamburgers consumers are paying less lately at the meat counter $1.00 rancher finding his niche in marketing Tom Sidwell who raises direct market grass fed beef direct to consumers a niche market and also a growing market our customers are satisfied we have about $400.00 customers and it's all direct sales we listen to them we do a lot of customer service when we sell course have some holes in the process or has 10 or 15 or 30 or 40. Beefs beef processed and in the boxes in the freezer Well then we will take those customers meat and deliver not to their homes but we will like for the Albuquerque area customers will say we'll meet you in this park and such and such a time to all of us but that's a service saying to them and it also helps that process or because his freezer is completely full of boxes and they have to move right away he's got a bottleneck there and so it helps him and helps our customers it's a service to them we get to meet dam that's Tom said well a direct market grass fed beef rancher in New Mexico also president elect of the New Mexico cattle growers association now with more cattle news on egg life Here's Patrick Cavanagh Thanks Bill we set a record for a good meeting that's veterinarian Mike happily incoming president of the American Association of bovine practitioners or a.p.a.p.

A.t.m. To me. Place followed by Reese Witherspoon. Point 3000000. With United Way to help the homeless community. And. I don't just. Volunteer. Counsel. This is a. Science . Spiric science and agricultural meteorology and the director of the Iowa State University climate science program recently he was involved in some research looking at the potential impact positive or negative of wind turbines across the agricultural landscape this all started back in 2009 when we could look around the landscape in Iowa new to see large numbers of turbans showing up on the landscape and most all of them associate with agricultural fields so being in the Grammy department having a lot of colleagues very knowledgeable about the all processes agricultural at least economic and dealing with corn soybeans right close in my building here I thought well let's get a group together and see what might be some of the consequences that we could think of just sitting around a table that turbans might have on crops and so I started that conversation with my background in meteorology or micro meteorology or boundary layer meteorology which is interaction the atmosphere with the surface so I just talked about turbans and they reduce the average wind speed and they create turbulence now so if we had crops that were growing in. An environment that had a little lower wind speed and more turbulence how would that change the microclimate that crops are expecting to find here so that's where we started and so then the discussion went from there and we concluded that well yes there were some microclimate factors that crops depend on and that that might be affected by the presence of these turban so let's design an experiment tell me about that basically. The main factor is that the turbulence in the air right in and above the corn crop or so being crop the plants are going to move a little bit more there's going to be more exchange of we call it exchange of heat and moisture you could say ventilation of heat you could think about putting a huge fan in a greenhouse or something and what what effect would that have or just over of what surface you know that a fan put a fan over it'll dry faster had it if it changes the exchange of water between the surface and the atmosphere so it increases evaporation it mixes the air little bit of my heat or cool it depending on the time of day and so we set out to to measure these so we put up measuring stations up when and downwind of a line of turbans near aims and do we made measurements of temperature and what we call heat flux moisture flux c o 2 flux and wind speed wind direction the usual kinds of things pressure humidity temperature and so and so we ran these experiments we started in 2000 hen and we set up another set of experiments almost identical in 20112000 taught what to slightly different set up and modified and ran it over soybeans or corn and then 2013 we moved to a slightly different location at the in the middle of the wind farm rather than at the edge of the wind farm and in all cases we measured these on a ts. Effect microclimate quarks the way we set it up we said we had 3 levels of questions the 1st was if we measure conditions upwind and downwind of a turban 1st of all can we measure and confirm that there are differences in. These factors that we can measure in other words is there an increase or decrease in the temperature is there an increase or decrease in the wind speed wind direction and then getting to the moisture part of it is there more evaporation or condensation upwind or downwind of the turbans is there more carbon dioxide going into the crop or coming out of the crop during the day and during the night these are the kinds of questions that we asked Jane jocularly he is a professor of atmospheric science and agricultural meteorology along with being the director of the Iowa State University Plumet science program you're listening to ag life I'm Doug Cooper frag life I'm Melissa mo with California ag today with cannabis legalization around the corner how on the job safety be affected Amy Wolfe president and c.e.o.

The program closely aligns with the current a.a.r.p. Or area revenue protection crop insurance plan University of Illinois agricultural economist Gary sniffed He says while there are differences the one of note is the price setting period it locks in input prices the margin based on corresponding futures traded in Chicago for your Ria down diesel fuel and interest rates other side of that. You might be interested in is setting a projected price now versus in February so you so we know that our projected prices for margin insurance are $39064.00 for corn and $966.00 for soybeans So we do know those now so she wanted to set those not you could use margin protection you could also go up to 95 percent coverage level so that would be an advantage that he doesn't see any compelling reason for a r.p. Users to switch to March and protection and while the plan could be coupled with r.p. He thinks the number of takers there will be limited I'm told Gleason So decision time for that and several other issues coming up here on the farm need to mention this too before we get out of here and that is the u.s. Now I think tentative timeline to complete the North American Free Trade Agreement to go see a sions the trumpet ministration notifying Congress of expected changes to the trade remedy law as a result of the ongoing talks notification required at least. 180 days before the agreement can be time to trade promotion authority law which puts the timeline at March 22nd is the 1st day that a new NAFTA could be signed braccia by Lawrence tractor company this is ag life October.

That's average per acre times in a bend year and the average is 9 and a half that's an average green grape crop historically and then came the rains pupper Syrian said it really didn't hurt the crop that much we've had to raise we had the rain of the 11 that was 911 rain and then we came back and add another rain on the 21st which was last Thursday and so when you couple those 2 rains which you know rain wise boisterous wise they're not significant as far as a inch of rain or inch and a half rain as it was it causes fan to end up on the tray get in the wrinkles of the grape and dry and now they become imbedded Fand and then they have to be reconstituted reconditioned and cleaned up again so there's always a lot for them it doesn't hurt the quality is but you.

For your chance to witness history. Minutes away from 6 o'clock. Absolutely good flying by. You. A favor veggie from. Loaded but in case you haven't had an ear full of fun facts and tidbits Rod brain is here to vegetate you want to take life this morning usually a visit to the vegetation booth at the u.s.d.a. Farmer's Market in Washington d.c. Leads to interesting tidbits from the educators like Laura peel ski but on this particular day of visit no facts oh no corny facts I promise you may be corny jokes though such as Why don't you tell secrets in a cornfield too many airs. You have anymore what do you call a mess a logical that a unicorn and I must admit those are some very amazing jokes. Well I guess Auschwitz would be an inappropriate comeback at this point well then let's progress to interesting tidbits courtier not about one of our favorite vegetables like this little fact when pollinated So farmers will have to grow it in blocks instead of rows so the corn will then use the wind to pollinate amongst all the corn stocks we usually associate cord with summer although some late season varieties are still available but as Laura Popeil ski points out with sweet corn you need to eat it soon after harvest as it starts to lose its weakness also corn is best left in its original packaging and till you're about to use it and it will last in your fridge if you put it in a plastic bag for only about 2 or 3 days corn does not have a very long shelf life so if you want corn for dinner you should go shopping that morning now you can freeze sweet corn but again that must happen immediately after picking the best way to do that is because the ears cut the kernels off after cooking and placing freezer backs when it comes time to husk the ears of corn but Bielski offers this advice one simple way to do it is to cut the bottom end so it has like a flat end to it and put it in the microwave for about 2 or 3 minutes and then you'll need to use potholders because the corn will be hot but it will slide right out of that husk with the silk as well and so that's a really easy way if you have a microwave. To husk the corn you can also just do it by hand when the corn is raw by separating the silks and the husk and pulling down on one side and pulling down the other side you can get rid of a lot of those silks with either a wet paper towel or Brennan under water and then you're ready to go rolling in boiling or among the preferred ways to prepare corn on the cob for eating but Popeil Skee says there are a couple of stumbling blocks for people who boil corn one they like to put salt in the water and 2 they boil it for too long she says adding salt when boiling corn will dry out the kernels making them tough while the corn too long also has that same effect so Popeil ski says corn should be boiled for no more than 4 to 5 minutes to keep the kernels tender So now that we are in perfect harmony about corn facts and fun bits. Now that's just bad.
