Dry bean border snag
The Mexican government is stepping up enforcement of a so-called “zero-soil tolerance law,” and that could cut into demand for U.S. pinto and black beans, a U.S. dry bean trader tells Agweek.

Grain buyers, warehouses and insolvency
BISMARCK, N.D. — With three active insolvency proceedings being administered by the North Dakota Public Service Commission, and another North Dakota grain elevator in dire straits, it seems a good time to revisit some of the basic laws related to grain elevator and buyer insolvencies. While the laws related to these insolvencies can be complex, there are a few basic issues that farmers should be aware of.

BSE safeguards working
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — What a difference 8½ years makes. When the first bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)-infected cow was found in Mabton, Wash., in December 2003, U.S. beef exports had been steadily increasing, with 1.1 million tons carcass weight equivalent (CWE) exported in 2003. By the end of 2004, U.S. beef exports had fallen 82 percent to 200,000 tons CWE as major importers cut off the purchase of U.S. beef. It was not until 2011 that beef exports regained their previous level.

150th anniversary of the Morrill Act
FARGO, N.D. — Happy anniversary, land grants. North Dakota State University hosted a Great Plains Land-Grant Summit June 12 and 13 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of federal legislation that made possible state college and universities such as NDSU, the University of Minnesota, South Dakota State University and Montana State University. More than a century later, those universities remain vital for teaching, research and extension of agricultural and other information to the masses.

Chilly day, good-looking crops
On a normal mid-June day in the Upper Midwest, many farmers apply chemicals to their crops or take a first cutting of alfalfa. But a recent Agweek trip through parts of Benson, Pierce and Bottineau counties in north-central North Dakota didn’t take place on a normal mid-June day. The day of the trip provided the worst possible weather to spray crops or cut alfalfa: rain clouds filled the sky, temperatures fell south of 50 degrees and a stiff, cold wind shook even the stoutest evergreens in shelterbelts.

Early beetle harvest
If you want to collect flea beetles to control leafy spurge, you’ll need to start earlier than usual this year. Normally, the bugs are collected from the middle of June to early July across the region. Collection — which needs to occur before the insects begin laying their eggs — should start roughly two weeks earlier this year because of the mild winter and early spring, officials say.

'Made in America' wanted
PIERRE, S.D. — It is a long way from Parker, S.D., to China. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel to China twice in the last eight months. Though the land area of the U.S. and China is fairly close, China has nearly four times the people: 1.4 billion. In recent years, the population in China has grown every month by the population of South Dakota. It’s mind boggling.
