LS TRACTOR EXPANDS IMPLEMENT LINEUP WITH NEW OFFERINGS LS Tractor has  announced the launch of their new rotary cutters, box blades, and land graders. The new offerings further expand the company’s lineup of implements and attachments that have already earned a reputation as tough, dependable tools for tasks large and

small.

“Whenever LS Tractor does something, we do it right, and these implements are the perfect example of that commitment to quality and durability,” said Mike Blount, CEO of LS Tractor USA. “We went through an extensive research and development phase before garnering additional feedback from our dealers to reach the final product. We’re excited for customers to experience the LS difference with these implements.” The rotary cutter will be available in 48-inch, 60-inch, 72-inch, and 84-inch versions to accommodate tractor sizes all the way up to 85 horsepower. All models feature 10-gauge steel construction, slip clutches, and front chain guards as standard features. They are covered by a 1-year full warranty and limited three-year gear box

warranty.

The box blades come in 48-inch, 60-inch, and 72-inch versions. Heavy gauge heat treated steel was used to ensure longevity and stand up to the most rigorous tasks. The 48-inch and 60-inch versions feature a four-shank design while the 72-inch version moves up to a six-shank configuration. Replaceable skids are standard for each model and they are backed with a one-year full warranty. “Of course, we’re excited to see the reactions from customers with these new implements, but we’re also thrilled to continue helping LS dealers improve their offerings and sales capabilities,” said Craig O’Brien, Commercial Relations Manager of LS Tractor USA. “Any way we can help them streamline their business and increase profitability is a win for us, especially when the implements and attachments are superior to other offerings in the industry.” In addition to the rotary cutters and box blades, three land grader versions are being released with 60-inch, 72-inch, and 84-inch models available. Like the box blades, they are made using heavy-gauge steel and a quick-hitch compatible design to ensure it lives up to the rugged and dependable reputation of LS Tractors. The land graders also come with a 1-year full warranty. The full range of new implements is now available at LS Dealers across the U.S. For pricing and to learn which implement is right for you, visit your local LS Dealer . For more information on LS Tractor, their full range of tractors, implements and attachments, visit lstractorusa.com .

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FINALIZES THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT U.S. Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt unveiled changes to implementing regulations of the Endangered Species Act designed to increase transparency and effectiveness and bring the administration of the Act into the 21st century, according to the U.S. Department of

the Interior.

The changes finalized by Interior’s U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Commerce’s National Marine Fisheries Service apply to ESA sections 4 and 7. Section 4, among other things, deals with adding species to or removing species from the Act’s protections and designating critical habitat; section 7 covers consultations with other federal agencies. The ESA directs that determinations to add or remove a species from the lists of threatened or endangered species be based solely on the best available scientific and commercial information, and these will remain the only criteria on which listing determinations will be based. The regulations retain language stating, “The Secretary shall make a determination solely on the basis of the best scientific and commercial information regarding a species’

status.”

The revisions to the regulations clarify that the standards for delisting and reclassification of a species consider the same five statutory factors as the listing of a species in the first place. This requirement ensures that all species proposed for delisting or reclassification receive the same careful analysis to determine whether or not they meet the statutory definitions of a threatened or endangered species as is done for determining whether to add a species

to the list.

While this administration recognizes the value of critical habitat as a conservation tool, in some cases, designation of critical habitat is not prudent. Revisions to the regulations identify a non-exhaustive list of such circumstances, but this will continue to be rare

exceptions.

American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall said, “Today’s Endangered Species Act reforms serve the needs of imperiled species as well as the people most affected by implementation of the law’s provisions. This makes real-world species recovery more likely as a result. “These new regulations restore the traditional distinction between threatened and endangered species. That’s important. In the real world, the things we must do to restore a threatened species are not always the same as the ones we’d use for endangered species. This approach will eliminate unnecessary time and expense and ease the burden on farmers and ranchers who want to help species recover. “Today’s rulemakings will also simplify environmental review and interagency consultations while maintaining effective species

protections.

“Keeping species on the endangered list when they no longer face the threat of extinction takes valuable resources away from species that still need ongoing protection under the ESA. These new regulations will provide much needed consistency in the listing and de-listing process to better allocate critical resources to species in need. “Finally, we are pleased to see one other, common-sense matter: Lands to be designated as unoccupied critical habitat for threatened and endangered species will have to actually include at least one physical or biological feature needed to conserve the species. Farm Bureau welcomes all of these changes.” Barring court action, the rules package will officially take effect following a 30-day objection period.

FARMERS PREVENTED PLANT ON MORE THAN 19 MILLION ACRES Agricultural producers reported they were not able to plant crops on roughly 19.4 million acres in 2019, according to a new report

released

by the USDA. This marks the most prevented plant acres reported since USDA’s Farm Service Agency began releasing the report in 2007 and 17.49 million acres more than reported at this time last year. Of those prevented plant acres, more than 73 percent were in 12 Midwestern states, where heavy rainfall and flooding this year has prevented many producers from planting mostly corn, soybeans and

wheat.

“Agricultural producers across the country are facing significant challenges and tough decisions on their farms and ranches,” USDA Under Secretary for Farm Production and Conservation Bill Northey said. “We know these are challenging times for farmers, and we have worked to improve flexibility of our programs to assist producers prevented from planting.”

COVER CROPS

USDA supported planting of cover crops on fields where farmers were not able to plant because of their benefits in preventing soil erosion, protecting water quality and boosting soil health. The report showed where producers planted 2.71 million acres of cover crops so far in 2019, compared with 2.14 million acres at this time in 2018 and 1.88 million at this time in 2017. To help make cover crops a more viable option, USDA’s Risk Management Agency adjusted the haying and grazing date of cover crops, and USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service held signups in select states that offered producers assistance in planting cover crops. Meanwhile, USDA added other flexibilities to help impacted producers, including adjusting the deadline to file acreage reports in

select states.

ABOUT THE REPORT

This data report aggregates information from crop acreage reports as of August 1, 2019, which producers file with FSA to maintain program eligibility and to calculate losses for various disaster assistance programs. The crop acreage data report outlines the number of acres planted, prevented from planting, and failed by crop, county, and state. To find more information, view the Aug. 12 report

.

Because some producers have not completed their filing and data are still being processed, FSA will make available subsequent data reports in September, October, November, December, and January. You can find reports from 2007 to the present on FSA’s Crop Acreage Data webpage

.

To receive FSA program benefits, producers are required to submit crop acreage reports annually regarding all cropland uses on their farm. This report includes data for producers who had already filed for all deadlines in 2019, including the mid-July deadlines, which are for spring-seeded crops in many locations. OTHER PREVENTED PLANTING INDICATORS In addition to acreage reports filed with FSA, producers with crop insurance coverage for prevented planting file claims with their insurance providers. These claims are provided to RMA and may differ from the prevented planted acres reported to FSA. More information on prevented plant coverage is available on the RMA website

.

Official USDA estimates of total acres planted, harvested and to be harvested, yield, and production are available from USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service at nass.usda.gov

MARKET REACTS TO NEW USDA CROP PRODUCTION REPORT As if this year hasn’t been eventful enough, now farmers are dealing with the roller coaster ride called marketing their crops. Today, the USDA released the August Crop Production report that took a major hit to grain futures. This monthly report contains crop production data for the U.S., including acreage, area harvested, and yield. American farmers planted 2 percent fewer corn acres than forecast in the June estimate but still exceeded 2018 acres planted by 1 percent, according to the USDA report

released today.

The report indicates a 1.7 million-acre net decrease from the Acreage report released in June. At the same time, today’s report shows a 3.5 bushel per acre increase to national average yield projections from last month, with 169.5 bushels per acre now forecast. With increased yield projections more than offsetting decreased planted acres, total production for 2019/20 is now projected to reach 13.9 billion bushels. As a result, corn took a heavy hit by dropping 25 cents and capping off at its daily limit. Ending stocks are forecast up by 171 million bushels to 2.2 billion given reductions to the projected demand for corn from the ethanol and export sectors, along with increased production projections. The season-average corn price received by producers lowered by 10 cents to

$3.60 per bushel.

According to the report, “Soybean production for beans is forecast at 3.68 billion bushels, down 19 percent from 2018. Based on conditions as of August 1, yields are expected to average 48.5 bushels per harvested acre, down 3.1 bushels from 2018. Area harvested for beans is forecast at 75.9 million acres, down 4 percent from the previous forecast, and down 14 percent from 2018. Area planted for all purposes totaled 76.7 million acres, down 4 percent from the previous estimate, and down 14 percent from 2018.” “All wheat production for grain is forecast at 1.98 billion bushels, up 3 percent from the previous forecast and up 5 percent from 2018. Based on August 1 conditions, yields are expected to average 51.6 bushels per harvested acre, up 1.6 bushel from the previous forecast, and up 4.0 bushels from 2018. Area harvested for grain is forecast at 38.4 million acres, unchanged from the previous forecast, but down 3 percent from 2018.” September wheat prices fell 32 cents after the report was released.
