And, as we are one-third of the way through with FY2017, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) signaled its expectation that sugar's recent run of zeroes will continue.

Stores affected include Redwood Falls and Thief River Falls in Minnesota along with Arthur, Kintyre, Kulm and Mayville in North Dakota and Milbank and Redfield, South Dakota. All closed stores will be consolidated to nearby Titan Machinery locations. Titan says customers will continue to receive sales, parts, service rental and support at the nearby stores that will remain open.  The Red River Valley Sugarbeet Growers spend the day in St. Paul on Wednesday, educating state senators about the sugar industry in the state. Executive director, Duane Maatz, says it’s always nice to be in front of the senate ag committee members.
“It’s good to get the opportunity to update the senate ag committee members on what we do, producing sugar, the size of our industry… We also had an opportunity to talk about the economics, the numbers of jobs, and those sorts of things. We really gave them a good overview. There were a lot of thoughtful questions that our group was able to answer.” Maatz says the makeup of the senate ag committee has changed. “It’s not only agriculture, there are other components that require that there are people from within Minneapolis/St. Paul – members of the senate that typically wouldn’t be on that committee. But today, because of looking at consumer protection, we have a variety of folks on there that really have no agricultural backgrounds, so it’s a good idea to keep them up to date.” Source: The Red River Farm Network (rrfn.com)  Rhizoctonia and Cercospora leafspot will both be diseases farmers will have to watch out for in 2017. NDSU / U of MN Extension Sugarbeet Specialist, Mohamed Khan, says you need to control Rhizoctonia early to establish a good stand:
“Even tolerant varieties in early growth stages are susceptible so the recommendation is to make sure, on all of our sugarbeet seeds, to have seed treatments. We have some good, effective seed treatments. Make you use them to give protection from seedling damping off. We also recommend using a post application fungicide somewhere between for the four-to-eight leaf stage.” Khan says controlling Cercospora will also be a challenge due to very large overwintering populations of resistant spores.

Stoner said the farm groups all agree on the need to stick together. The Red River Farm Network asked Stoner if he thinks the Farm Bill will be a heavy lift. “There are budget challenges. We have continuing attacks on crop insurance. The groups that are determined to tear the Farm Bill apart, separate it from nutrition; it is an avenue to try and defeat it."
Interest rates will play a role in setting the stage OMAHA, Neb. – Several factors will come into play in 2017 that will determine the direction of land values.
Randy Dickhut, senior vice president of real estate operations for Farmers National Company, said that in the past three years, agricultural landowners in many regions across the country have seen a decline in profits, which also pushed land values lower. |
