TODAY ON AGDAY
SEPTEMBER 4, 2017
HEADLINES
A COOL DOWN IS COMING--COULD IT IMPACT YIELDS? PLUS A NEW SURVEY PUTS A NUMBER ON NATIONAL PRODUCTION. IN AGRIBUSINESS...WHAT IF THE NUMBERS ARE TOO HIGH. MACHINERY PETE TELLS US WHAT’S HOT AT AUCTION. AND A CLASSROOM WITHOUT THE ROOM-- LEARNING FROM THE FARM IN TENNESSEE. AGDAY - PRESENTED BY CHEVY SILVERADO. HIGH-STRENGTH STEEL FOR HIGH-STRENGTH DEPENDABILITY.
CHANCES OF SEEING A FROST
GOOD MORNING I’M CLINTON GRIFFITHS. MARKETS ARE CLOSED ON THIS LABOR DAY IN WHAT MANY PEOPLE CONSIDER THE END OF THE SUMMER. ON THE CALENDAR, FALL ARRIVES IN THREE WEEKS. BUT SOME FORECASTS ARE SHOWING AN EARLY ARRIVAL THIS WEEK THAT COULD SLOW DOWN CROP ADVANCEMENT IN MIDWEST FIELDS THAT REALLY NEED SOME HEAT TO FINISH. SOME WEATHER FORECASTERS SAY FAR NORTHERN PLAINS MIDWEST STATES COULD POSSIBLY SEE FROST LATER THIS WEEK. THAT’S THREE WEEKS AHEAD OF NORMAL. DURING THE FARM JOURNAL CROP TOUR, WE SAW COUNTLESS ACRES IN THE EASTERN CORN BELT THAT WERE DESPERATE FOR SOME LATE SUMMER HEAT AND RAIN. IN INDIANA THERE WAS A HIGH NUMBER OF ACRES PLANTED LATE OR HAD BEEN RE-PLANTED. “FOR THOSE KINDS OF LATE PLANTED CROPS THIS COOL AUGUST AND THE FORECAST FOR SEPTEMBER CONTINUES TO BE ON THE COOL SIDE, THAT’S NOT FAVORABLE FOR GETTING THOSE CROPS MATURED SAFELY IN TIME BEFORE A TRUE KILLING FREEZE.""COOLER TEMPERATURES ARE GOING TO SLOW THAT DOWN. NOW THE ONLY THING THAT MIGHT COME BACK TO HELP US IS IF THAT WE MAINTAIN DECENT TEMPERATURES AND IF MOISTURE COMES BACK EVEN AT THIS POINT SO MOISTURE CAN FINISH FILLING THE RATE’S NOT GOING TO BE AS FAST BUT IT COULD BE EXTENDED. NOW IF WE GET COOLER TEMPERATURES TO THE POINT THAT WHERE YOU START TO GET INTO FROST ISSUES THAT CUT OUR SEASON SHORT SO THERE’S DEFINITELY SOME LOSS OF POTENTIAL..” ALLENDALE INCORPORATED JUST RELEASING THE RESULTS OF ITS AUGUST CROP PRODUCTION ESTIMATES. BASED ON SURVEYS FROM FARMERS IN 32 STATES THE ILLINOIS BROKERAGE PUTS THIS YEAR’S CORN CROP AT 13-POINT-NINE BILLION BUSHELS, ASSUMING AN AVERAGE NATIONAL CORN YIELD OF ONE-66-POINT-SEVEN.. THAT’S SIMILAR TO PROFARMER’S OFFICIAL ESTIMATE. BUT THE YIELD IS NEARLY THREE BUSHELS BELOW USDA. ALLENDALE’S SOYBEAN CROP COMES IN AT FOUR-POINT-ONE BILLION BUSHELS WITH AVERAGE YIELD OF JUST OVER 47-BUSHELS AN ACRE. THEIR ESTIMATE COMES IT BELOW BOTH PROFARMER AND USDA. RICH NELSON; “WE FAVOR A SURVEY FOR TWO MAIN REASONS WE CERTAINLY SUGGEST THAT BASED ON OUR PREVIOUS PREVIOUS HISTORY WE’VE SEEN THAT PRODUCERS CERTAINLY KNOW THEIR FIELDS VERY VERY WELL AND AND CAN PROVIDE SOME VERY SOLID ESTIMATES AS FAR AS A WHOLE FEEL AS WHOLE FIELD AVERAGES. ALSO WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THE WIDE GEOGRAPHIC COVERAGE THAT A NATIONWIDE SURVEY DOES NOT JUST A BIT OF THE MIDWEST BUT CERTAINLY WITHIN EACH STATE AS A WHOLE..” DURING THE FARM JOURNAL MIDWEST CROP TOUR LAST MONTH, SCOUTS FOUND PLENTY OF IMMATURE FIELDS. A COLD WET SPRING AND COOL SUMMER IN MANY PLACES SLOWING DOWN GROWTH. AGRONOMISTS AND SCOUTS SAY AN EARLY FROST COULD BE BAD NEWS FOR FINAL YIELDS. “OUR CROP IS BEHIND DUE TO THE COOL WEATHER, PROBABLY ABOUT 2 WEEKS BEHIND. AND AN EARLY FROST WOULD REALLY HURT US, YES IT WOULD,""IN OTHER YEARS WE’VE RUN ACROSS CORN THAT’S BEEN DARN NEAR MATURE AT THIS POINT. WHEN GOING HAS BEEN GOOD AND CONDITIONS HAVE SUCH BUT THIS YEAR THE MATURITY JUST ISN’T THERE. WE’RE GOING TO REALLY STRUGGLE AS I SAID TO MAKE IT TO MATURITY BEFORE MOTHER NATURE DECIDES TO PULL THE CURTAIN.”
FARMER MAC EXCLUSIVE
COLD SNAP OR NOT, EXPECTATIONS OF BIG YIELDS RAISE THE IMPORTANCE OF STRONG DEMAND. IT WILL BE A FOCUS AS NAFTA AS SECOND ROUND TALKS CONTINUE IN MEXICO. FARM GROUPS URGING NEGOTIATORS TO DO NO HARM DURING TALKS. AG SECRETARY SONNY PERDUE GETTING QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ADMINISTRATIONS COMMITMENTS TO AG TRADE DURING LAST WEEK’S COMMODITY CLASSIC. HE SAYS HE’S SPOKEN DIRECTLY TO THE PRESIDENT ABOUT NAFTA AND THE RISK OF AGRICULTURE BECOMING A PAWN IN RENEGOTIATIONS."THE BEST UNDERSTANDS VERY CLEARLY THAT MATH IS BENEFICIAL TO AGRICULTURE.THE CHALLENGE IS HE’S LOOKING AT THE TRADE DEFICIT THAT’S OCCURRED AFTER NAFTA WAS DONE PRIMARILY IN AUTOS AND AUTO PARTS. HOW DO YOU RECONCILE THOSE TWO. I TALKED TO HIM THIS MORNING ACTUALLY AND HE’S CONCERNED ABOUT AMERICAN AGRICULTURE BUT HE’S ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE OVERALL ECONOMY. AND THAT’S AUTOMOBILE AUTO PARTS MANUFACTURING. AND WE HOPE WE CAN FIND A SOLUTION THAT RECONCILES BOTH OF THOSE AND RESOLVES THOSE ISSUES. “YOU KNOW THAT WE’RE SO BLESSED IN THE PRODUCTION OF AGRICULURE WE’RE ALWAYS AT THE TIP OF THE SPEAR IN RETALITORY COLLATEROL DAMAGE DEALING WITH TRADE DISCUSSIONS. THAT’S A RISK. THAT’S A THREAT. WE’VE COMMUNICATED THAT TO HIM HE UNDERSTANDS THAT AND I’M HOPING THAT HIS CONVERSATIONS NOW PUBLICALLY OR NEGOTIATION STRAGEIES TO MAKE SURE THAT MEXICO AND CANADA UNDERSTAND THE US IS SERIOUS ABOUT FAIR TRADE DEALS ACROSS THE ECONOMY FOR ALL THREE COUNTRIES."THE SECOND ROUND OF TALKS STARTED ON FRIDAY. A THIRD ROUNDS IS EXPECTED IN CANADA AT THE END OF THE MONTH. IT’S BETTER DEMANDED NEEDED TO BOOST MORE THAN JUST LIVESTOCK SECTORS THIS YEAR.
USDA FARM INCOME
USDA’S LATEST NET FARM INCOME FORECAST RELEASED LAST WEEK, SHOWING OVERALL FARM INCOMES COULD SEE A 13 PERCENT GAIN THIS YEAR. THAT’S LARGELY DRIVEN BY BETTER THAN EXPECTED LIVESTOCK PRICES. IN AN EARLY EXCLUSIVE WITH FARM MAC, ECONOMIST JACKSON TAKACH SAYS THE AG ECONOMY IS SHOWING SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT. I THINK WE’RE ON OUR WAY. I DO THINK THAT THE DECLINES IN NET FARMING INOME HAVE STARTED TO LEVEL OFF ; WE SAW A BOUNCE THIS YEAR IN NET FARM INCOME AND NET CASH INCOME IS WHAT WE’RE EXPECTING. SO MAYBE WE’RE CLOSE TO THAT BOTTOM NOW. SO HOPEFULLY IN THE NEXT COUPLE YEARS WE START TO SEE IT GO THE OTHER WAY. WHAT I THINK WE NEED TO SEE HAPPEN IS A GLOBAL GLOBAL RESPONSE BOTH FROM A DEMAND AND SUPPLY SIDE. NOT MUCH MORE WE CAN DO HERE WITH THE CROPS THAT WE PRODUCE. WE’RE ALREADY USING UP ALL THE CORN THAT WE CAN USE. WE’RE SHIPPING OUT MORE SOYBEANS THAT WE USE IN THIS COUNTRY AND WE NEED TO FIND OTHER PEOPLE OTHER PLACES TO SHIP THOSE GOODS. USDA ALSO FORECASTING A 2 POINT 3 PERCENT INCREASE IN FARMLAND VALUES, A BIGGER JUMP THAN MANY ECONOMISTS ANTICIPATED THIS YEAR. I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE EXPECTED TO SEE A FLAT, MAYBE A SMALL DECREASE IN LAND VALUES, AND WHAT THEY FOUND IN THEIR REPORT WAS A 2.3 PERCENT INCREASE. MOST OF THAT WAS DRIVEN NOT BY THE VALUE OF CROPLAND IN IOWA OR ILLINOIS OR ANY OF THE MAJOR CROP PRODUCING STATES, BUT MORE IN THE VALUE OF REAL ESTATE IN BUILDINGS. SO THERE’S A RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE PRESSURE, MAYBE SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS IN FACILITIES, MAYBE THOSE TYPES OF THINGS ON THE PROPERTIES ARE ACTUALLY RISING FASTER THAN THE LAND ITSELF. WE DO SEE THAT AND HEAR THAT FROM OUR CUSTOMERS, THAT MAYBE THE DECLINES THAT WE SAW IN 2015 AND 2016 HAD STARTED TO LEVEL OFF AND MAYBE EVEN TURN AROUND. SO THE USDA DATA MADE SOME SENSE TO US. FARMERMAC WILL RELEASE THE LATEST EDITION OF THE FEED LATER THIS WEEK. TO SIGN UP FOR A COPY, VISIT FARMER MAC DOT COM.
CROP COMMENTS
SO HOW ARE CROP CONDITIONS AROUND FARM COUNTRY... CINDI CLAWSON IS IN FOR MIKE HOFFMAN TODAY. GOOD MORNING CINDI. GOOD MORNING, CLINTON. THE COMBINES ARE ROLLING IN WEBSTER COUNTY, 80 PERCENT OF THE STATE’S CORN AND 74 PERCENT OF THE SOYBEAN CROP IS RATED GOOD TO EXCELLENT. USDA WILL RELEASE THE NEXT CROP PROGRESS REPORT ON TUESDAY. AND ROBERT REESE IN LANSING, MICHIGAN IS STILL ROLLING WITH SWEET CORN! THE U.S. DROUGHT MONITOR SAYS JUST OVER 80 PERCENT OF THE STATE IS DROUGHT FREE. AND NOW HERE ARE SOME HOMETOWN TEMPS.
TEASE
WITH MARKET PRICES CONSTANTLY CHANGING, IT’S IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHERE CURRENT PRICES STAND. GET MARKET PRICES DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR MOBILE PHONE, JUST TEXT MARKETS TO 31313 TO GET STARTED! UP NEXT WE’LL DIG DEEPER INTO POTENTIAL YIELDS, AND WHAT IT COULD MEAN IF THIS CROP ISN’T QUITE AS BIG AS REPORTS EXPECT. PLUS MACHINERY PETE. STAY TUNED FOLKS COMING UP I’M GOING TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE HOTTEST EQUIPMENT CATEGORY THE PAST TWO MONTHS. AND LATER, WE’RE OFF TO TENNESSEE WHERE THIS RESEARCH LABORATORY IS TEACHING KIDS ABOUT LIFE ON THE FARM.
AGRIBUSINESS
CHIP NELLINGER BLUE REEF AGRIMARKETING OUR GUEST CHIP LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS CORN CROP. YOU KNOW WE’VE HAD CROP TOUR NUMBERS COME IN PRETTY CLOSE TO USDA -- ONLY DOWN A COUPLE BUSHEL. BUT YOU ARE DOING YOUR OWN SURVEY WHAT DO YOU FIND. IT’S IT’S KIND OF INTERESTING AND I THINK THAT WE’RE GOING TO DEBATE THIS FOR SEVERAL MORE MONTHS OBVIOUSLY ALL THE WAY UP TO THE JANUARY CROP REPORT YOU KNOW PROBABLY A HALF OR OR MORE OF OUR CLIENTS ARE IN ILLINOIS. SOME SOME OF THE BETTER AREAS CONDITION WISE FROM START TO FINISH YEAR. AND A LOT OF OUR PRODUCERS ARE TELLING US THAT THEY’RE 15 TO 20 PLUS PERCENT BEHIND A YEAR AGO STILL GOOD CORN YOU KNOW STILL 200 PLUS BUSHEL. WE’RE STILL WAY BELOW A YEAR AGO. AND I THINK IT’S GOING TO BUILD ON A POPULATION ISSUE THAT MIGHT BE THE NAME OF THE GAME AS POPULATIONS I THINK ARE WAY UNDER WHAT THEY WERE A YEAR AGO TO DRIVE THAT RECORD YIELD A YEAR AGO. RIGHT. SO THE JURY’S STILL OUT. BUT IF THE BEST AREAS ARE GETTING REPORTED HERE YOU KNOW 10 TO 20 PERCENT BEHIND A YEAR AGOS RECORD. IT’S GOING TO BE HARD TO PULL THAT NATIONAL AVERAGE YIELD UP TO THIS UPPER 160 SO I GUESS OUR OPINION IS WE’D WE’D MAYBE HAVE SOME ROOM TO CUT THIS THING BEFORE THE FINAL REPORT HERE IN JANUARY. DOES THAT GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF MAYBE SOME POSITIVE FEELINGS OR SHADY FEELING MAYBE THERE’S A CHANCE FOR THIS CORN CROP THAT IT’S GOING TO BE BIG. WE KNOW THAT MAYBE NOT QUITE AS BIG AND THAT COULD GIVE US A LITTLE BIT OF BASE ON THAT PRICE. YEAH I REALLY THINK SO AND ESPECIALLY NOT THE MARKET ACTION HERE RECENTLY. I THINK WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH THE USDA AND THEN YOU KNOW THE FARM JOURNAL TOUR BEING PRETTY CLOSE TOGETHER IS IT’S GOT THE MARKET COMPLACENT JUST THINKING EVERYTHING’S ALL RIGHT. WE’VE GOT A BIG CROP HERE. THIRD THIRD BIGGEST CROP EVER NO PROBLEMS. LOTS OF CARRY OUT YOU KNOW LOTS OF OLD CROPS STOCKS STILL. AND IF WE DO SHRINK THIS THAT’S A BIGGIE. BUT IF WE DO CONTINUE TO SHRINK YIELDS THERE’S DEFINITELY SOME UPSIDE POTENTIAL THERE BECAUSE EVERYBODY’S NOW LEANING THE WRONG WAY EXPECTING A BIG CROP. FUNDS ARE BACK SHORT. SURE. IT’S KIND OF KIND OF RINSE AND REPEAT THIS WHOLE CYCLE WE’VE BEEN ON ALRIGHT COULD UNWIND ITSELF A LITTLE BIT I KEEP AN EYE ON IT. THANKS FOR BEING THERE. WE’LL BE BACK WITH MORE AGDAY IN JUST A MINUTE. JOIN US ON THE US FARM REPORT FACEBOOK PAGE FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8 AT 10AM CENTRAL TIME FOR “FOLIAR HEALTH FOCUS.” WE WILL HAVE EXPERTS LIVE IN THE FIELD DISCUSSING PROACTIVE DISEASE CONTROL STRATEGIES THAT WORKED THIS YEAR AND WAYS TO BOOST YOUR YIELD IN 2018.
TEASE
WHEN WE COME BACK, MACHINERY PETE SHARES HIS INSIGHTS INTO THE USED EQUIPMENT MARKET INCLUDING WHAT’S THE HOTTEST ITEM THE LAST TWO MONTHS. AND WE’LL GET A LESSON IN AGRICULTURE FROM ONE OF TENNESSEE NEWS RESEARCH CLASSROOMS.
MACHINERY PETE
“MACHINERY PETE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY JOHN DEERE…WHERE CAN YOU FIND THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE INVENTORY OF JOHN DEERE CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED TRACTORS, COMBINES AND SPRAYERS? MACHINE FINDER-DOT-COM … SOMETIMES THE BEST NEW ADDITION TO YOUR FLEET ISN’T NEW!” GREG PETERSON IS KEEPING TABS ON MACHINERY TRENDS AND THIS MORNING HE TELLS US WHICH CATEGORY HAS BEEN THE HOTTEST OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. WELL FOLKS. I JUST WANT TO START OFF BY SAYING THANKS FOR SHOPPING AT OUR WEB SITE MACHINERY PETE DOT COM OUR TRAFFIC THERE IS UP ALMOST 60 PERCENT YEAR OVER YEAR. SO AGAIN THANK YOU. NOW IT’S REALLY INTERESTING TO STUDY THE SEARCH TRAFFIC DATA. DID YOU KNOW THE MOST SEARCHED A SUBCATEGORY OF EQUIPMENT THE LAST TWO MONTHS IT’S BEEN TRACTOR’S 40 TO 99 HORSEPOWER. NOW WHEN I WHEN I SAW THAT DATA IT DIDN’T REALLY SURPRISE ME BECAUSE I HAVEN’T SEEN A VERY STRONG AUCTION PRICING FOR SOME TIME WITH THIS SIZE OF USED TRACTOR. NOW IF WE SCOOTCH JUST A LITTLE BIT HIGHER TO 115 HORSE LAST WEDNESDAY ON A FARM AUCTION UP IN NORTHEAST INDIANA BY OUR FRIENDS AT SHRADER REAL ESTATE AND AUCTION IS 2013 JOHN YOU’RE 6115M WITH TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY FOUR HOURS AND AN H340 LOADER SOLD FOR $65000. AND THAT’S THE HIGHEST AUCTION PRICE I’VE EVER SEEN ON A 6115M. NOW IF WE SWITCH OVER TO BLUE TRACTORS BACK ON MAY 30 FIRST THIS NEW HOLLAND T5070 WITH 1528 HOURS AND A LOADER SOLD ON A PURPLE WAVE DOT COM ONLINE AUCTION CAME OUT OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA ABOUT FORTY FIVE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS. AND JUST LIKE THE JOHN DEERE TRACTOR THAT’S THE HIGHEST AUCTION PRICE I’VE SEEN ON THAT NEW HOLLAND T5070. SO FOLKS IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A USED TRACTOR AROUND A 100 HORSE. CHECK OUT OUR WEBSITE AND DO ME A FAVOR. TELL THOSE AUCTIONEERS AND THOSE DEALERS YOU SAW ON MACHINERY PETE.COM.
TEASE
UP NEXT, A TOUR IN TENNESSEE. I’M CHARLES DENNEY. OUR NEWEST 4H CENTER IN TENNESSEE IS ALSO A WORKING FARM. RAISING CATTLE AND AWARENESS OF AG SCIENCE. THAT STORY COMING UP ON AGDAY.”
IN THE COUNTRY
IN THE COUNTRY - BROUGHT TO YOU BY KUBOTA. SEE THE ALL-NEW KOMMANDER-PRO ZERO-TURN MOWER AT KUBOTA.COM.AS KIDS GET BACK IN THE ROUTINE OF THE SCHOOL YEAR A NEW RESEARCH FACILITY IN TENNESSEE IS HELPING TO TEACH STUDENTS ABOUT LIFE ON THE FARM. CHARLES DENNEY GIVES US A TOUR IN THIS REPORT FROM THE U-T INSTITUTE OF AGRICULTURE. “C’MON GIRLS.” THERE’S ACRES OF HAY AT LONE OAKS FARM, BUT SCOOPS OF FEED ARE A NICE SIDE DISH. THIS HUNGRY HERD OF BLACK ANGUS CATTLE ARRIVED LAST FALL, AND SPENT MOST OF 2017 GROWING BIGGER BY THE DAY. RON BLAIR: “WE DO HAVE 90 HEAD OF HEIFERS HERE THAT’S BEEN HERE ABOUT SIX, SEVEN MONTHS ON A FEED TRIAL. THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE THIS FALL WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THOSE HEIFERS AS THEY DEVELOP. WE TOOK GENETIC DATA OFF THOSE FEMALES ABOUT SIX WEEKS AGO. WE’LL BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT GENETICS AND DNA SAMPLING.” LONE OAKS FARM IS TENNESSEE’S NEWEST 4-H AND YOUTH EDUCATION CENTER. WITH EXPERIENCES LIKE KAYAKING THE HATCHIE RIVER, CAMPERS LEARN FROM STEM-RELATED ACTIVITIES. STEM IS SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATH. PART OF LEARNING ABOUT OUR WORLD INCLUDES THE EDUCATION THAT AGRICULTURE PROVIDES. LONE OAKS GROWS RICH FORAGE, AND MAKES A PERFECT OUTDOOR LAB FOR AN ANIMAL SCIENCE LESSON. KEITH MARCUM: “IT’S GRASS COUNTRY. WE’VE GOT THE FACILITY, SO WE REALLY NEED TO USE IT FOR THE CATTLE. IT WILL BE A GOOD LEARNING EXPERIENCE FOR THE KIDS."CHARLES DENNEY: “THE CATTLE OPERATION AT LONE OAKS IS A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE TENNESSEE FARM BUREAU FEDERATION AND UT EXTENSION. FARM BUREAU’S SERVICE COMPANY – THE TENNESSEE LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS - PROVIDED THE ANIMALS. EXTENSION HAS THE LAND AND THE PEOPLE TO RAISE THEM.” DARRELL AILSHIE: “ULTIMATELY WE’RE PROMOTING THE LONE OAKS FACILITY. WE’RE PROMOTING TENNESSEE LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS. WE’RE PROMOTING THE TENNESSEE BEEF INDUSTRY. BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT LONE OAKS FARM WILL START TO BE A SUSTAINABLE OPERATION.” SOON THE ANIMALS YOU SEE HERE WILL BE COOLING THEIR HEELS SOMEWHERE ELSE, SOLD ON THE MARKET. LEADERS SAY THIS IS AN OUTSTANDING HERD OF REPLACEMENT HEIFERS AND SHOULD COMMAND TOP PRICES. RICHARD BROWN: “THE HEIFERS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE. THEY’RE SALE-READY. THEY’VE BEEN PROPERLY VACCINATED. THEY’VE BEEN PREG-CHECKED. WE’RE JUST READY FOR A SET OF BUYERS TO COME IN THERE AND BUY THOSE FEMALES TO GO HOME AND WORK FOR THEM.” THE LONE OAKS CATTLE OPERATION WILL BE A FALL TO FALL ENDEAVOR. MONEY RAISED FROM SELLING THESE COWS WILL BUY REPLACEMENT HEIFERS WHO WILL ARRIVE IN OCTOBER. THEN THE FARMING, AND THE LEARNING, CAN START OVER AGAIN. THIS IS CHARLES DENNEY REPORTING.
CLOSE
THAT’S ALL THE TIME WE HAVE THIS MORNING. WE’RE GLAD YOU TUNED IN. FOR CINDI CLAWSON I’M CLINTON GRIFFITHS. HAVE A GREAT DAY. AGDAY IS POWERED BY RAM TRUCKS - AMERICA’S LONGEST LASTING PICKUPS.
