CHINESE ESPIONAGE
GOOD MORNING I’M TYNE MORGAN. CLINTON GRIFFITHS IS ON ASSIGNMENT.INTERNATIONAL ESPIONAGE TAKES CENTER STAGE AS ONE CHINESE NATIONAL HEADS TO PRISON FOR STEALING SEED TECHNOLOGY, ANOTHER PREPARES FOR TRIAL, AND FIVE OTHERS REMAIN ON THE RUN. A CHINESE NATIONAL AT THE CENTER OF AN ESPIONAGE CASE INVOLVING THE BIGGEST SEED COMPANIES IN THE COUNTRY IS HEADED TO PRISON. THE U-S ATTORNEY’S OFFICE IN IOWA SAYS MO HAILONG RECEIVED THREE YEARS IN PRISON FOR CONSPIRING TO STEAL CORN SEEDS FROM DUPONT- PIONEER AND MONSANTO. IN ONE INSTANCE, MO AND HIS ACCOMPLICES WERE ACCUSED OF DIGGING-UP “PARENT” SEED FROM RECENTLY PLANTED FIELDS AND SHIPPING IT TO A SEED MAKER IN CHINA. MORE THAN A THOUSAND POUNDS OF SEED WERE SHIPPED. U-S ATTORNEY KEVIN VANDER-SCHEL SAYS - QUOTING NOW - " THE THEFT OF AGRICULTURAL TRADE SECRETS, AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, POSES A GRAVE THREAT TO OUR NATIONAL ECONOMIC SECURITY.” THE U-S ATTORNEY’S OFFICE SAYS IT STILL HAS ACTIVE CASES AND ARREST WARRANTS AGAINST FIVE OTHER MISSING SUSPECTS. WE HAVE ALSO HAVE DEVELOPMENTS IN A SECOND BUT UN-RELATED SEED-TECH THEFT CASE. TWO CHINESE NATIONALS ARE SCHEDULED FOR TRIAL NEXT MONTH IN KANSAS CITY. THE TWO SCIENTISTS WEIQIANG ZHANG AND WENGUI YAN ARE ACCUSED OF CONSPIRING TO STEAL TRADE SECRETS FROM A BIO-TECH FIRM IN MANHATTAN KANSAS. THE U-S ATTORNEY SAYS THE MEN STOLE RICE SEED SAMPLES. THE GENETICALLY MODIFIED SEED IS USED TO GROW PROTEINS FOR MEDICAL AND PHARMACEUTICAL USES.

TRADE
PROTECTING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IS THE MAIN ARGUMENT AGAINST THE PROPOSED CHEMCHINA SYNGENTA ACQUSITION. BUT IT’S ALSO GRABBING HEADLINES ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. ANOTHER ITEM RECEIVING NEGATIVE PRESS THIS ELECTION-- TRADE. WHILE THE TWO LEADING CANDIDATES HAVE VOICED STRONG OPPOSITION FO MAJOR TRADE DEALS LIKE THE TRANS PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP, THAT’S NOT THE POPULAR OPINION OF AGRICULTURE. AS THE TWO PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFULS WENT HEAD TO HEAD IN THEIR FIRST DEBATE, TRADE WAS CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE,THE FACTS ARE I DID SAY I HOPED IT WOULD BE A GOOD DEAL BUT WHEN IT WAS NEGOTIATED, WHICH I WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR I CONCLUDED IT WASN’T. I WROTE ABOUT IT ABOUT THAT I MY BOOK. IS IT PRESIDENT OBAMA’S FAULT, WHILE VIEWS DIFFER ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, TO MANY IN AGRICULTURE, TRADE IS A MAIN LIFELINE FOR AGRICULTURAL GOODS. TODAY, TRADE MAY BE A BUZZWORD, BUT FOR CORN GROWERS, IT’S SOMETHING THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE < WE’RE VERY FOCUSED ON TPP. IT WOULD BE HUGE FOR THE US PORK INDUSTRY. > BUT IT’S MORE THAN JUST TRADE WITH THE 11 OTHER TPP COUTNIRES THAT’S ATTRACTIVE TO AGRICULTURE.... TODAY, MEXICO AND CENTRAL AMERICA ARE THE TOP BUYERS UF U-S RICE. SULLIVAN SAYS IF CHINA WOULD START BUYING, THAT WOULD BE A GAMECHANGER. IT’S MORE THAN JUST RICE LOOKING TO CHINA TO PICK UP DEMAND. CHINA HAS A SHORTAGE OF PORK PRODUCTS. THEIR DOMESTIC PRODUCTION IS DOWN.THEY’VE HAD A LOT OF CHALLENGES IN IMPROTING PRODUCT. CHINA IS ALREADY THE TOP BUYER OF U-S SOYBEANS, BUT BALANCING THAT DEMAND IS A CONCERN FOR AMERICAN SOYBEAN ASSOCIATION. <25 PERCENT OF THE SOYBEANS RAISED IN THE UNITED STATES GOES TO CHINA. SO IF THERE’S SOME KIND OF A POLTICAL HICCUP, THEY’RE GOING TO REDUCE WHAT THEY BUY FROM THE UNITED STAETS SO WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO BE ACTIVE IN OTHER MARKETS GLOBALLY SO IF THAT HAPPENS, WE CAN STILL MOVE OUR SOYEABS INTO THE MARKETPLACE> NO MATTER THE DESTINATION, MANY AG GROUPS SAYWE NEED TO GROW DEMAND < OUR DOMESTIC CONSUMPTION IS STRONG BUT VIRTUALLY FLAT. EVEN IF OUR CONSUMERS WERE TO CONSUME 2 MORE POUNDS OF PORK PRODUCT A YEAR. THAT WOULD NOT COMPENSATE FOR THE AMOUNT OF PORK WE WILL HAVE ON THE MARKET. > < AT ONE TIME WE WERE GROWING EXPORTS BY 10 OR 20 PERCENT SOME YEARS. THAT JUST ISN’T HAPPENING ANYMORE. > BUT NOT EVERYONE IN AGRICULTURE IS A FAN OF TRADE, SAYING IT’S A DOUBLE EDGED SWORD. SUGARBEET GROWERS SAY THEY AREN’T AGAINST CURRENT TRADE DEALS, KNOWING MANY AREAS OF AG BENEFIT. BUT WHEN OTHER COUNTRIES SUBSIDIZE PRODUCTION, UNDERCUTTING THE U-S PRICE, THAT’S WHEN GROUPS LIKE SUGAR AND RICE SAY SOME DEALS ARE UNJUST. WE WANT TO CREATE A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD AND IF ANOTHER COUNTRY IS ALLOWED TO SUBSIZE AND EXPORT, WE KNOW THAT’S NOT FAIR FOR OUR GROWERS

BEEF AND PORK EXPORTS HIGHEST OF 2016
SPEAKING OF TRADE, BEEF EXPORTS HITTING THE A TWO YEAR RECORD IN AUGUST. THE U-S MEAT EXPORT FEDERATION SAYS EXPORT VALUES FOR BOTH BEEF AND PORK REACHING THE HIGHEST POINT THIS YEAR. BEEF SHIPMENTS IN AUGUST JUMPED UP 27 PERCENT FROM A YEAR AGO, HITTING THE HIGHEST MARK SINC OCTOBER 2014. WHILE EXPORT VALUE JUMPED 14 PERCENT. PORK EXPOTS ROSE 16 PERCENT IN AUGUST COMPARED TO 2015. AND THE VALUE SHOT UP 19 PERCENT. MORE CORN COULD BE HEADED SOUTH. BRAZIL APPROVING THREE GENETICALLY MODIFIED CORN VAREITIES FROM THE U-S FOR ANIMAL FEED PRODUCTION. THIS COMES AFTER A DROUGHT WIPED OUT A PORTION OF BRAZIL’S CROP, FORCING ANIMAL GROWERS TO IMPORT CORN FROM ARGENTINA. THE VARITIES ARE PRODUCED BY MONSATNO AND SYNGENTA.

FLOOR OF THE CME
( AGRIBUSINESS TODAY, BROUGHT TO YOU BY YAMAHA - MAKERS OF VIKING SIDE-BY-SIDES. YAMAHA - REAL WORLD TOUGH. ) AS A NEW WEEK OF TRADING GETS SET TO BEGIN, LET’S SEE HOW THE FARM MARKETS ENDED THE WEEK. WE GET DETAILS FROM THE FLOOR OF THE CME IN CHICAGO. THE CATTLE MARKET TODAY HAS REALLY SHOWED MORE STABILIZATION THE BULLS IN THE BEARS JUST CANNOT GET THE MARKETS A MOVE EITHER WAY SO RIGHT NOW IS HOLDING VERY FIRM CERTAINLY THE TECHNICALS ARE STARTING TO LIKE SHOW THEIR ARESENCE HERE THE TEN DAY MOVING AVERAGE IS REALLY PUTTING A LIMIT ON SHORT TERM GAINS RIGHT NOW AND IS NOT LETTING THE MARKET MOVE ANY HIGHER WITH THEIR BIG REVERSAL FROM OFF OUR SEVEN YEAR LOW THE MOMENTUM INDICATORS ARE STARTING TO FALTER AND THAT’S WHAT’S KEEPING THE MARKET FROM REALLY PUSHING THROUGH WE EXPECT THE CONSOLIDATION WILL CONTINUE AND STILL MOVE SIDEWAYS AND A CHOPPY MARKET CERTAINLY FOR TODAY AND IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS NOW WITH THE HOGS THAT WE HAVE THE SAME KIND OF ISSUE WE DID HAVE THAT BOUNCE BUT RIGHT NOW THE HOGS WERE OVERSOLD AND WE’RE LOOKING TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF BUYING AND THAT’S REALLY STABILIZE THE MARKET THEY TOO WERE MOVING SIDEWAYS SO WE SEE IN THE ENTIRE LIVESTOCK COMPLEX KIND OF ALL HOLD IN A HOLDING PATTERN RIGHT NOW AND THANK GOODNESS THAT THE SELLING HAS CEASED THAT’S ALL FROM THE FLOOR OF THE CME GROUP, I’M VIRGINIA MCGATHEY

AGRIBUSINESS
WELCOME BACK, WE’RE HERE NOW WITH BRIAN SPLITT WITH ALLENDALE, BRIAN WHEN WE LOOK AT THE EXPORT NEWS, WE SAW LAST WEEK SOME PRETTY BULLISH THE NEWS. WE SAW SOME SALES A POSSIBLE NEW SALES TO BRAZIL SOME SOME BEEF EXPORTS POSSIBLY TO CHINA BUT OVERALL WHEN WE LOOK AT THE LAST FOUR WEEKS, CORN EXPORTS ARE UP SEVENTY PERCENT FROM THE FIVE YEAR AVERAGE. IS THAT SUSTAINABLE OR IS THAT A SHORT-TERM BOOST? I THINK THIS IS A GOOD STORY HERE NOW. I DON’T THINK WE CAN SUSTAIN THAT AND WE’VE GOT SOME CATCH UP WORK THAT WE’VE BEEN DOING ON CORN AND SOYBEAN SALES.RIGHT NOW WE ARE RUNNING AHEAD OF THE PACE THAT WE WOULD NEED TO HIT THE USDA TARGET FOR CORN WHEREAS SOYBEANS ARE RUNNING A LITTLE BIT BEHIND THE USDA TARGET PACE.SO SOYBEANS HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE CATCH OF WORK TO DO BUT I THINK.RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT BRAZIL DID HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR SECOND CROP CORN. AND WE’VE GOT SOME SUPPLY ISSUES THERE WERE WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO FULFILL SOME OF THEIR NEEDS PROBABLY GETTING THROUGH JANUARY. SO I THINK THAT’S WHY THEY APPROVE GENERAL CORN AND I SEE THIS IS MORE OF A SHORT TERM ISSUE FOR US AND COULD BE A LITTLE BIT DISAPPOINTING DOWN THE ROAD TO MAYBE THE USDA ACKNOWLEDGES THIS PACE BUT THEN BRINGS THE NUMBERS BACK DOWN AS WE GET INTO THE THEIR FIRST AND SECOND QUARTER OF NEXT YEAR. THERE WERE ALSO SEEMS IN GOOD MOMENT IN FROM MEXICO. YOU THINK IT’S A COINCIDENCE THAT THAT’S LEADING INTO THE ELECTION AND NOT KNOWING THE OUTCOME OF THAT? RIGHT, SO MEXICO IS A BUYER OF OUR CORN AND WHEN YOU’VE GOT TWO THINGS COMBINED YOU’VE GOT CORN PRICES AT MULTIYEAR LOWSAND YOU’VE GOT A PRESIDENTIAL RACE WHERE ONE OF THE CANDIDATES IS TALKING ABOUT BUILDING A WALL AND HAVING THEM PAY FOR IT WE DON’T KNOW HOW THEY’RE GOING TO PAY FOR IT BUT IT COULD BE THROUGH TRADE POLICY. SO, I IF I HAVE THE COMBINATION OF THOSE TWO THINGS. IF I AM MEXICO I AM YOUNG AND AGGRESSIVE BUYER BEFORE EVEN SEE THE ELECTION, I WILL MAKE SURE THAT MY NEEDS ARE ATTAINED AND I DON’T HAVE ANYTHING IN ALL UP FOR CHANCE AT THIS POINT.AT THE SAME TIME LATEST EXPORT NUMBERS FOR MEAT HAVE SHOWN THAT THAT BEEF AND PORK EXPORTS AND WERE ALMOST A TWO YEAR HIGH. SO THAT A CASE OF LOWER PRICES CURING LOWER PRICES? WHEN YOU HAVE THE AMOUNT OF MEAT IN GENERAL AND THAT’S WITH BOTH PORK POULTRY AND BEEF WE HAVE TO BE MOVING AS PRODUCTS. AND FROM A MAJOR STANDPOINT, BIG PICTURE, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE MOST MEAT FOR THE U S CONSUMER AVAILABLE IN THE LAST NINE YEARS. THERE’S A LOT OF SUPPLY OUT THERE. WE DO NEED TO CHEW THROUGH IT. SO YES, LOW PRICES ARE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO MOVE THIS PRODUCT AND CURE THESE LOW PRICES.PRICES AREN’T BRIAN SPLITT OF ALLENDALE THANKS SO MUCH THEY WITH US WE HAVE MUCH MORE ON DAY WHEN WE COME BACK. ( TO TALK TO BRIAN SPLITT ONE ON ONE CALL ALLENDALE INCORPORATED AT 800-551-4626 OR EMAIL HIM AT BSPLITT@ALLENDALE-INC.COM. ) ( YOU’RE A FARMER. AND YOU ARE RELENTLESS. WE’RE RELENTLESS TOO.

( THIS IS MACHINERY PETE - INVITING YOU TO CHECK OUT MY NEW WEBSITE - MACHINERYPETE.COM - OFFERING FARMERS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF USED EQUIPMENT LISTINGS TO SEARCH. LET MACHINERY PETE HELP YOU FIND AND VALUE YOUR NEXT PIECE OF USED EQUIPMENT. )

MACHINERY PETE
MACHINERY PETE IS NOT TALKING ABOUT THE VALUE OF USED FARM EQUIPMENT THIS MORNING. INSTEAD HE TALKS FARM EQUIPMENT DEALERS AND THE VALUE THEY BRING TO USED EQUIPMENT PURCHASES. ALRIGHT FOLKS TIME FOR A LITTLE CHAT. TIME TO TALK USED MACHINERY. NOW I’VE BEEN TALKING AUCTIONS FOR TWENTY SEVEN YEARS OR FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND PRICES, BUT I’M ALSO THE SON OF A THIRD GENERATION FARM EQUIPMENT DEALER. NOW I KNOW THAT THE VALUE OF THAT BUSINESS ISN’T ALWAYS BEING THERE FOR YOU THE CUSTOMER. I GOTTA TELL YA, IT’S BEEN SOLD OFF ON THE PAST YEAR SO AS WE TRAVEL THE COUNTRY FILMING FOR MACHINE PETE TV SHOW, OUR SEGMENTS ON US FARM REPORT, STOPPING IN INTERVIEW DEALERS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, AND THE THING THAT KEEPS COMING THROUGH IS HOW THEY’RE WORKING TOWARDS INVESTING HEAVILY AND BECOMING MORE OF A CLOSER PARTNER WITH YOU THE FARMER. OF COURSE THEY’RE DOING THIS WITH INNOVATIVE NEW THINGS ON THE SERVICE SIDE TO ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU. AND OF COURSE ON TECHNOLOGY AND PRECISION A INVESTING IN PERSONNEL TRAINING TO BRING YOU THE VERY LATEST TO HELP YOU BE MORE EFFICIENT. NOW ONE OF THE OTHER AREAS WHERE DEALERS BRING OFF THE CHARTS VALUE WAS ON THE FINANCE SIDE. SO, HELPING YOU MINIMIZE THE FRONT AND CAPITAL RISK, GETTING YOU INTO THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY. AGAIN, TO HELP YOU BE MORE EFFICIENT ON THE FARM. AND ALSO DEALERS YOU KNOW DOING THINGS IN THESE TOUGH AG TIMES LIKE HELPING YOU RE STRUCTURE FINANCING ON YOUR CURRENT EQUIPMENT FLEET. AGAIN OF DOING THIS WITH AN APPROACH TOWARD THE FUTURE HELPING THE WHOLE BRIDGE TOWARD BETTER DAYS. NOW I REALLY THINK THE FUTURE IS THIS CLOSER FARMER - DEALER RELATIONSHIP IS IN A DRIVE TREMENDOUS VALUE TO YOUR FARM OPERATION. AND AS I’VE BEEN SAYING FOR THE PAST YEAR, I’VE NEVER SEENI’VE NEVER SEEN A BETTER TIME TO UPGRADE A LATE MODEL LEASED EQUIPMENT. SO IF YOU’RE ABLE GIVE YOU A LOCAL LEADER CALL.

TEASE
NEXT - SEE HOW ONE FRO-YO VENDOR IS PUSHING THE ENVELOPE WHEN IT COMES TO DELIVERIES. IN THE COUNTRY IS NEXT.

IN THE COUNRTY
( IN THE COUNTRY - BROUGHT TO YOU BY KUBOTA’S BX AND L SERIES COMPACT TRACTORS - AVAILABLE NOW WITH A SIX-YEAR LIMITED POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. LEARN MORE TODAY AT YOUR LOCAL KUBOTA DEALER. ) FORGET ABOUT ‘DRIVE-THROUGH’ RESTAURANTS. HOW ABOUT “DRONE-THROUGH” DELIVERIES. A FROZEN YOGURT BUSINESS IN MICHIGAN IS TESTING THE IDEA. ORANGE LEAF FROZEN YOGURT’S DRONE DELIVERY TOOK PLACE AT HOPE COLLEGE IN HOLLAND, MICHIGAN DUBBED “PROJECT FLYING ORANGE UNICORN,” THE BUSINESS SAYS IT’S PLANNING TO OFFER DELIVERIES FROM ITS ORANGE LEAF STORE LOCATED A FEW BLOCKS FROM CAMPUS. THE DRONE CAN REACH 30 MILES-PER-HOUR AND CARRY UP TO 30 POUNDS OF FROZEN DELICIOUS-NESS. “I THINK LONG TERM, THAT’S WHERE THE INDUSTRY IS HEADING IN TERMS OF ENGAGING WITH A MILLENNIAL CLIENTELE WHO LOVES NEW TECHNOLOGY BUT ALSO WEIGHS THAT CONVENIENCE BY USING TECHNOLOGY SO WHY NOT BE ON THE FOREND OF THAT?">COMPANIES SUCH AS AMAZON, CHIPOTLE AND DOMINO’S HAVE RECENTLY EXPERIMENTED WITH DRONE DELIVERY PROTOTYPES. IMAGINE IF YOU BREAK DOWN IN THE FIELD AND DON’T HAVE THE CORRECT TOOL WITH YOU. ONE OF YOUR KIDS OR FIELD HANDS CAN ATTACH IT TO A DRONE AND FLY IT TO YOU! TECHNOLOGY IS AMAZING.
