By: Robert Hurley, USGC Director of Programs in China
The U.S. Grains Council has helped China achieve an
extremely rapid consolidation of the country’s dairy industry.
This has led to large, modern dairies that have an increasing
demand for coarse grains and their co-products. These large
dairies are complex operations with heavy demands for intensive management, and there is a shortage of management
talent for these operations.
To help address this need, the Council and Hauxia Dairy
Farm formed the Sino-U.S. Dairy Management Training Center
in 2006. Less than a decade later, the Center has become a
highly regarded program that has helped China’s dairy industry
modernize rapidly. It has also helped build demand for whole
corn silage and distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS)
while heightening the positive role the Council plays in the
development of China’s livestock industry.
Beginning Sept. 23, the Council escorted a team of Chinese
dairy herd managers in this training program, to California and
Wisconsin. The team members had the opportunity to discuss
new ideas and view the latest U.S. technology to expand their
thinking on what is possible for the dairy industry in China.
The team was also briefed on quality forages and sound
herd management practices. The program was rounded out
with a visit to the World Dairy Expo where elite dairy cattle,
cutting-edge research and modern technologies are showcased.
While at the World Dairy Expo, team members transacted
deals to purchase equipment this month. In fact, one of the
innovative Chinese dairy owners purchased substantial
equipment onsite from a U.S. supplier for immediate delivery
with a follow-up installation visit by the supplier. The new
equipment will help the dairy industry in China continue to
enhance their dairy management practices.
The Council will continue to work in China’s dairy sector to build demand for U.S. coarse grains and co-products
through the Sino-U.S. Dairy Management Training Center
and programs similar to this one.

Leaning On Native Bees
Amid The Honey Bee Decline
From Kate Wilhitem WSU CAHNRS Communications
As the decline of honey bee populations garners international attention, David Crowder and Eli Bloom are turning
to a different breed of bees for pollination services.
Their three-year research project will help farmers and
scientists understand native bee communities on small-scale
farms in western Washington with support from a nearly
half-million dollar grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
“Scientists really don’t know what an optimal native bee
community on a farm in western Washington looks like,
so that’s going to be exciting to find out,” said Crowder,
an entomologist who studies insect ecology at Washington
State University.
Bloom, a Ph.D. student who began studies with Crowder a
year ago, has been working closely with farmers in rural and
urban areas of King and Thurston counties. He has collected
about 2,000 bee specimens from two dozen farms, a kind of
“bug census” to look at the ecology of bee communities in

MSU’s TechLink Plays Important
Role In Combating Ebola Outbreak
IN

Precision

Montana State University Communications
A Montana State University center specializing in transferring U.S. military technology to the private sector played a
key role in an experimental treatment that may have saved
the lives of two American medical missionaries infected with
Ebola and might hold hope for thousands more.
Physician Kent Brantly and aid worker Nancy Writebol
were both treated in July with ZMapp, an experimental drug
that had its origins in the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases and was then shepherded into
the private sector thanks to MSU’s TechLink and the Army
technology transfer office.
More than 2,600 people have died from Ebola in western
Africa in recent months. Last week, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention said a worst-case scenario could have
1.4 million people infected by late January.
The U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious
Diseases developed one of the key components of ZMapp
as part of its mission to protect American soldiers and public
health against potential bio-warfare agents and diseases, said
Laurel Halfpap, a TechLink senior technology manager.
Five years ago, Halfpap facilitated a license agreement
between the Army and San Diego-based Mapp Biopharmaceutical. The company combined an Army-developed
antibody with two other antibodies to create ZMapp, which
was administered to Brantly and Writebol in July. Both have
fully recovered.
“Like many inventions that start with a military purpose, there can be profound dividends on the homefront,”
Halfpap said.
Should ZMapp receive approval from the Food and Drug
Administration, the Ebola-fighting product could be added
to the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile, a repository of
vaccines and therapeutics available in the case of a national
emergency involving bioterrorism or a natural epidemic.
Will Swearingen, TechLink’s executive director, credits
the work of Halfpap in helping to broker the deal with Mapp
Biopharmaceutical.
“TechLink functions as a national partnership intermediary
for the Department of Defense,” Swearingen said. “DOD,
like all federal agencies, operates under a congressional
mandate to transfer its taxpayer-funded inventions to the
private sector in order to stimulate the U.S. economy, create
jobs, increase our technological competitiveness globally
and benefit the public.”
With approximately 60 labs, the DOD generates around
550 patents annually, with inventions in virtually all technology fields, including medical technology, advanced materials, software, electronics and communications. Each year,
Bozeman-based TechLink transfers 50-100 DOD inventions
to private industry, Swearingen said.
TechLink is the only organization that reviews all of the
patented inventions coming out of the entire DOD laboratory
system, according to Swearingen.
“The DOD trusts us to select the inventions that we believe
would be of greatest interest and then actively market them
to companies nationwide,” Swearingen said.
According to an economic impact study DOD commissioned in 2012, TechLink’s licensing and other technology
transfer agreements had— over 10 years—generated more
than $1 billion in sales of new products and services nationwide. Factoring direct and spinoff benefits, these agreements
generated $3 billion in economic output and created or
retained nearly 18,000 high-wage jobs in the U.S.

A close relative of the cereal cyst nematode was discovered in Washington for the first time this summer. Scientists
don’t believe quarantines will be required but are assessing
the significance of the discovery.
“We’ve been dealing with a similar nematode for several
years,” said Timothy Murray, a plant pathologist at Washington State University.
“This new species will have a comparable impact to the
existing one and we’ll use the same treatments for its control.”
Richard Smiley, an Oregon State University professor,
discovered the same species, Heterodera filipjevi, in Oregon in 2008 and was responsible for the find in Whitman
County, Wash.
The nematode is listed as a quarantine pest by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s Animal Plant Health Inspection
Service. The agency can potentially prohibit farmers from
planting susceptible crops in infected fields. The pest affects
wheat, barley, oats and other wheat-like grasses.
However, Murray doesn’t think quarantines will be required. He is in close communication with the inspection
service to develop appropriate responses.
The recommended treatment for the pest is crop rotation
and nematode-resistant wheat varieties. These practices keep
nematode numbers low, thus reducing damage.
“These nematodes are significant pests around the world,”
Murray said. “But there isn’t really a reason to quarantine
fields in Washington since the nematode is already established
and our farmers know how to manage them.”
Once nematodes are present, they are difficult to eliminate.
Since they can’t grow on peas or lentils, significant numbers
die during crop rotation.
Murray said quarantine is useful in areas where a pest is
newly introduced and could be prevented from spreading.
But since this nematode already is established in Washington
fields, quarantine is unlikely to be effective.
“We estimate the new pest was introduced 10 to 15 years
ago,” he said.
He also said Smiley’s research has shown that yield losses
due to cereal cyst nematodes rarely exceed 10 percent, with
a conservative estimate that nematodes do around $3.4 million in damage each year.
Murray said more surveys are needed to see how far the
species has spread. The better the pest can be tracked, the more
accurate the response for and from farmers. Smiley found
three locations but did not look outside Whitman County.

small grains website athttp://smallgrains.wsu.edu.

diversified farming systems: farms and gardens producing
a variety of crops year-round.
“Honey bees are an unusual species in that they form these
huge colonies, whereas the majority of bees are solitary, building nests in twigs or in the ground, provisioning just enough
food and care to support a few offspring,” Crowder said.
The more than 20,000 bee species in the world have a wide
range of characteristics, just like other groups of animals.
Although some native bees produce honey, the ones Crowder
and Bloom work with don’t produce enough honey to collect.
The costs of rearing honey bees to pollinate crops, or even
as a hobby, can add up for a small-scale farmer, so many
farmers are interested in using native bees as an alternative.
Although native bees are often less abundant, Crowder said
it is possible for several species of native bees to come together and provide all the pollination services needed during
a growing season.
Working directly with farmers, Crower and Bloom will
use what they learn about the native bee populations to focus
on practical techniques to promote native bee health and
communities, including flowering strips with native Pacific
Northwest plants, bare ground and other habitats.
“What excites me the most is in the very short term we
are going to get a lot of really interesting information about
these bee communities,” Crowder said. He’s also hopeful
that in five to 10 years the research will have built a foundation that can drive changes in diversified farming systems
for both organic growers and growers who are transitioning
to organic systems.

a spreadsheet to determine the amount of tractor weight
needed depending on the tons of silage delivered per hour.
You can find it on the University of Wisconsin Extension
forage Web page at http://www.uwex.edu/ces/forage/.
Tower silage will pack because of the head pressure
created, but it will pack much more uniformly if you have
distribution through the silage delivery spout that will layer
the silage rather than form a pile.
Finally, all bunkers and piles should be covered with
plastic within 12 hours of finishing chopping. Remember
that deterioration penetrates well beyond the color difference at the top.
With no cover, Kansas State University researchers
measured 80 percent dry-matter loss in the top 10 inches.
Covering with plastic reduced dry-matter losses to 20 percent
in the top 12 inches. Don’t waste that amount of forage or
sacrifice its quality.
Harvesting whole-plant corn at the right moisture content
and particle size is crucial to making high-quality corn silage
that is well-utilized by dairy cows. Whole-plant moisture
content rather than kernel milk line positioning should be
your trigger for when to harvest corn silage. Monitor particle
size and kernel and cob breakage to ensure that the forage
harvester-crop processor is doing the job.
Remember, if you use additives, apply them properly, pack
thoroughly and cover securely to minimize storage losses.

Competition For Capital
From USGC News
Build Value in Your Land.
Build Healthy Soil.
Build it with Direct Seed.
www.directseedloans.org
Following the trend of the last decade, financing for grains
commodities will continue to be readily available next year. As
liquidity remains high and interest rates remain low, financing
risk should also remain low.
At Export Exchange 2014 http://exportexchange.org/, the
premiere international trade conference focused on the export
of U.S. coarse grains and co-products, Terry Barr, senior director of CoBank’s Knowledge Exchange Division, will delve
further into this topic.
“In the last decade, we’ve had tremendous amounts of liquidity on a global basis,” Barr said. “The central banks have
made significant infusions into the financial markets. The last
decade has been a very atypical period with near zero interest
rates and very accommodative central banks across the globe.”
The last few years have also been characterized by significant increases in supplies of all grain commodities, as growing
countries continue to expand operations.
A larger supply drives commodity prices down, as has been
seen in U.S. corn marketing with its 2013/2014 corn crop. The
price dropped more than 30 percent in 2013 and another 20
percent this year. This trend, coupled with plenty of available
capital, means the cost for importing grains over the next eight
to 12 months will be low.
Looking toward the future, expectations are that the competition for capital will increase as markets normalize from an
unusually long period of high liquidity and low interest rates.
“Once we get to a transitioning period with these commodity
markets, I would expect to see increased costs going forward,”
Barr said. “But it’s certainly not going to reach a magnitude
that is going to offset all the benefits that would occur to the
importer from lower grain and oil food supply prices.”

New Japanese Feed Labeling System
From U.S. Grains Council
Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries
(MAFF) has proposed revisions to its feed labeling regulations to allow feed manufacturers greater flexibility to
respond to changes in the cost of ingredients.
Under the old feed labeling regulations, feed millers might
be hesitant—solely because of the cost of relabeling—to
shift from corn to wheat or domestic rice in response to price
changes. The new regulations will make it easier to change
ingredients and will make Japanese feed millers more pricedriven. In the end, Japanese consumers will be the big winners.
These labeling regulations focus on consistency of ingredients to ensure quality and protect livestock producers.
Standards are very high and, before the revisions, lacked
flexibility that sometimes added substantial costs.
As global feed markets became more competitive, and
as feed ingredients became increasingly diversified by type
and origin, these regulations became increasingly burdensome. For example, a Japanese feed manufacturer would be
handicapped by costly relabeling requirements if he actively
pursued lowest-cost formulations in an ever-changing and
competitive marketplace.
“The new regulations are a long-awaited and are a desirable deregulation,” said Tommy Hamamoto, U.S. Grains
Council director in Japan. “Feed manufacturers will be allowed a wider range in the percentage composition of various
ingredients. For example, a 4 percent label for an ingredient
might allow a 2 to 6 percent range in the product.”
“Quality will be maintained, but it will be possible to
react to rapidly changing ingredient pricing without triggering costly relabeling requirements. In addition, tailored
feed compound products will be exempt from the labeling,
which will also reduce costs.”
The revised regulations are scheduled to be introduced
in April 2015. The Council believes this revision is favorable for introducing new ingredients into rations and will
continue to educate end-users in Japan about how these
revisions impact them.

Wanted: Monarch Butterflies,
Last Seen Heading South
From Sylvia Kantor, WSU CAHNRS Communications
Researchers at Washington State University are calling
upon the public throughout the western U.S. to report sightings
of tagged Monarch butterflies that are making their way from
Washington State to as far south as Mexico.WSU entomologist David James has released close to 1,500 butterflies so
far with plans to release up to 1,000 more by early October.
The butterflies were freed in Yakima and Walla Walla. Each
butterfly has a small circular sticker attached to a wing. He
wants to know where butterflies from the Pacific Northwest
go for overwintering in order to enhance conservation strategies and to determine whether Pacific Northwest populations
are distinct from eastern U.S. populations.
“We are beginning to get reports of people seeing them
but we’d like to alert more people to be on the watch for
them in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, Utah and
Arizona,” James said.
The butterflies released from Washington generally head
to California but James believes they may get all the way to
Mexico based on previous reported sightings of butterflies
tagged with his email address. In 2012 one of James’ butterflies was reported from Utah, off course from California
destinations but along the way to Mexico.
The insects head south to spend winter in warmer areas
before making a return migration in spring. The tagged butterflies will live for up to 8 months.
Monarchs rely on milkweed plants for laying their eggs
and providing food for their young. The larvae, or caterpillars, feed on the leaves of the milkweed plants until they
turn into chrysalids, later emerging as the familiar orange
and black butterfly.
“As well as providing potential data points, these releases
are making a significant contribution to the conservation of
this American icon,” James said.
In the last 20 years, monarch butterfly populations are
thought to have declined by more than 90 percent due to loss
of habitat. The application of herbicides may be the reason
the amount of milkweed available to Monarchs in Midwestern corn and soybean fields has been drastically reduced.
“We also have a milkweed problem in western U.S. too
with road authorities in California and Oregon in particular routinely spraying most roadside vegetation including
milkweed,” James said.
The Center for Biological Diversity, Center for Food
Safety, the Xerces Society and monarch scientist Dr. Lincoln
Brower of Sweet Briar College filed a legal petition to the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service seeking Endangered Species
Act protection for monarch butterflies in late August.
With the help of inmates at the Walla Walla Penitentiary
who help rear, tag and release the butterflies, James and
the butterfly enthusiasts who spot the colorful creatures are
helping to solve a butterfly mystery.

“The celebration of 18 years with no global warming,
despite the fastest increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide
in a millennia (2 ppm per year), shows that the fear of using
our abundant, economical, and geographically distributed
fossil fuels is nonsense.
“Due to consternation among climate alarmists, 52 explanations have been produced to date for the pause in global
warming, most claiming heat is hidden somewhere in the
ocean. These claims are fiction, as was the claim by a British
meteorologist in 2001 that children today, in 2014, would
never witness snow.

more than 50 excuses to explain why temperatures are not rising.
“The ‘pause’ reveals that it is scientifically obvious that
carbon dioxide is not the overriding driver of the climate.
The global warming movement has morphed into a coalition of ‘climate cause deniers.’ They deny the hundreds of
causes and variables of climate change and pretend CO2 is
the ‘control knob’ overriding all the others.”
—Marc Morano, Publisher, Climate Depot; [email protected]; 312/377-4000
“Yes there has been no warming for 18 years, but The
New York Times has just reactivated it’s environmental
global warming/climate change coverage team to increase
coverage of what they regard as the most serious issue of
our time. At the Times Web site, where it announced this
new climate team, I posted this comment:
“There has not been any significant man-made global
warming in the past, there is none now, and there is no

communists and socialists who are using climate change as a
devise to raise anti-capitalism hell. This is a great distortion
of science with a political agenda driven by huge federal tax
dollar research grants. I strongly urge the reporter group at
the Times to break the really big story and research and see
it through: Global warming/climate change has become a
politically driven folly without any verified scientific basis.
The evidence to support what I have said is there for the
looking. Start with the Nongovernmental Panel on Climate
Change and the work of Patrick Moore, one of the founders
of Greenpeace, and go from there. It can be the investigative
story of your lifetimes. Go for it.”
“The facts are on the side of the skeptics, but the media
remains totally committed to the ‘97 percent consensus’ lie.”

atmosphere would warm, as promised. But
until such time as the planet starts cooperating with the activists, they’re all just happy

chooses to—knowing that however much
CO2 they emit, it could never possibly have
an appreciable effect on the planet.”

“One would think that, after 18 years
in which there has been no increase in the
average global temperature as predicted by
the IPCC and every other environmental
organization, they might be inclined to concede that global warming is not happening.
When the endless computer models that
predicted warming turned out to be wrong,
you might think that the news media would
report this extraordinary result. When Hollywood actors, economists, and others with
no background in science
continue to proclaim global
warming, we can feel confident to dismiss them.
“But the worst of this 18year anniversary of the lack
of warming is the fact we
have a president, a secretary
of state, and others in the
Obama administration who
continue not only to proclaim
warming, now called climate
change, but suggesting that
it is the greatest threat to
the nation and the world.
The absurdity of this should
hold them up to ridicule, but
these pronouncements are
published without criticism.
“The current cooling cycle
Earth is experiencing will
continue for many years to
come, and its cause is nothing more mysterious than
our Sun, which is, itself, in a
natural cycle of lower radiation. As always, nature, not
man, will have the last word.”

“For years now, urban organic activists
have been marketing the organic industry as
the solution to everything that supposedly ails
our environment. But the fact of the matter
is that organic farmers use more fossil fuels
per-acre and per-bushel of food produced
because they’re forced to rely on tillage for
weed control instead of herbicides. Hence,
organic farmers emit more CO2 per-acre
and per-bushel which, according to globalwarming activists, was supposed to have
resulted in atmospheric global warming.
“But here we are in 2014 and there has
been no global warming for the past 18 years.
Fortunately, as any farmer, organic or otherwise, will tell you, CO2 is good for crops
and hence good for the planet and good for
humankind. Farmers would love it if Earth’s

USCA Supports USDA Beef
Checkoff Review
From U.S. Cattlemen’s Association
The United States Cattlemen’s Association (USCA) board
of directors voted to support the Secretary of Agriculture’s
stated intent to overhaul the Beef Checkoff program. Secretary
Vilsack has related publicly his frustration with the lack of substantial progress being made by the Beef Checkoff Enhancement Working Group (BCEWG) and said he is considering
using his own authority to make changes to the program. The
USCA board feels the same frustration and officially voted
unanimously not to support the proposed Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) drafted by the BCEWG.
USCA, together with National Farmers Union (NFU),
initiated the BCEWG in 2011 at the request of the Secretary
to address governance issues with the Beef Checkoff. The
two groups originally requested the Secretary write a new
Beef Checkoff Order under the 1996 Commodity Promotion
Act. The Secretary made it clear he would not step in until
the two groups had exhausted all possibilities of getting the
major beef industry groups to work through the divisive issues surrounding the Beef Checkoff. The group consisted of
the American Farm Bureau Federation, American National
Cattlewomen, Cattlemen’s Beef Board, Federation of State
Beef Councils, Livestock Marketing Association, Meat
Importers Council of America, National Cattlemen’s Beef
Association, National Livestock Producers Association,
National Milk Producers Federation, NFU and USCA.
Three years of meetings culminated in a memorandum of
understanding. The memorandum was designed to reflect the
changes that the groups had found some degree of consensus
on. It was the intention of the group that they would not move
forward and sign the memorandum until it was approved by
the governing body of each group involved. While all the
groups have not made official decisions on the Memorandum,
one of the guiding principles adhered to in the BCEWG is all
the groups had to be on board to pursue any enhancement.
USCA President Jon Wooster issued the following statement:
“Cattle producers deserve an enhanced Checkoff program
now, not a decade from now. The Secretary’s remarks concerning the Checkoff signify the Administration’s commitment to seeing this process through and enacting substantial
reforms. The Secretary’s actions are needed and timely and
USCA looks forward to engaging with USDA and members
of our industry in rewriting a new Beef Checkoff Order in
a manner that addresses the needs and interests of all US
cattle producers. USCA is hopeful of achieving meaningful
Checkoff reform and have been since we first initiated these
discussions with National Farmers Union three years ago.”
“USCA’s member-driven policy calls for very specific
reforms to the national mandatory beef Checkoff, including:
periodic, scheduled referendums; a complete separation of
the Federation of State Beef Councils and any policy organizations; and no increase in the per head assessment until
substantial, recommended enhancements are made.”
“Clearly, the BCEWG’s MOU does not meet key producer
concerns and the board has acted accordingly. USCA has
whole-heartedly engaged in this process since the beginning, but believes the process has exhausted itself and we
will now shift our focus to supporting Secretary Vilsack’s
stated intentions.”
“U.S. cattle producers deserve and need the most effective
Checkoff program possible and too much time and energy
have already been spent in the working group without a
solution being reached. We encourage Secretary Vilsack to
take immediate steps to implement the substantial reforms
needed, which will protect the future of the Checkoff and
allow it to grow and to work more efficiently in today’s
beef industry environment. USCA eagerly awaits the Secretary’s next steps and we stand ready to work with him
and other stakeholders to reform the Checkoff in a positive,
meaningful manner.”
