Roundup on the cattle market.

by newsinbriefs.net Posted on January 13, 2012

cattleIf you raised cows in the Southern Plains and Southwest this year the old adage “the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence” certainly didn’t hold true.

Reality was the drought plaguing 14 states, including Texas and Oklahoma, which together account for 23% of the nation’s cow herd. The drought delivered a significant movement of cows–either to market or to green pastures, mostly north.

Jim Robb, Director of the Livestock Marketing Information Center, expects the cow herd nationwide to decline by 2% or about 650,000 head on Jan. 1, 2012. Undoubtedly, the drought’s impact will be felt for years on the breeding herd and many long-term forecasters are not predicting weather pattern shifts anytime soon.

The only good news for cattlemen culling or liquidating their herds was that they were selling into a remarkably strong market. And, that was good news in the market generally. For 2011, fed-cattle prices are expected to average 18% above 2010 while calf prices will average 30% higher.

Corn price volatility and forage availability will impact cattle profitability in 2012 at both ends of the production spectrum. The high cost of gain will make cattle feeders more interested in yearlings and preconditioned calves than freshly weaned animals. In that market scenario, Robb notes that calves will carry little if any price premium to yearlings at times, based on conditions in the Southern Plains, because of the demand for pounds produced by relatively cheaper forage rather than expensive corn.

One opportunity that should continue to support the U.S. beef market is strength in exports. For the first-half of 2011 beef exports were 25% higher in volume and 40% higher in value than during the same period in 2010. Exports account for nearly 14% of all markets for U.S. beef. A weakening dollar coupled with rising personal incomes in East Asian markets should keep those markets strong for 2012 even if earlier projected economic growth slows somewhat.

An interesting aspect of the cattle industry is a continuation of trends that started in the late 1970s and early 1980s. During the “generation” of time that has occurred since, we have witnessed dramatic improvements in production efficiency.

The contribution of a wide array of advancements in animal health products, genetics, feeding efficiency, management practices, animal handling and others have yielded a cow herd that, while 15% smaller than it was in 1980, produces 21% greater carcass weight and a 41% increase in production per cow, according to statistics from the USDA. The retail value of beef consumed during that same period has more than doubled.

While the future of the beef industry looks bright, we certainly hope some dark rain clouds gather soon over the Southern Plains.

Bayer carbon nanotube plant ‘world’s biggest’ (but not for long).

by newsinbriefs.net Posted on November 12, 2011

The latest step in Bayer’s progressive roll-out of carbon nanotubes has been the opening of the 200 tonnes plant at Chempark Leverkusen in Germany announced in 2007.

When work began a year ago as part of a larger German project, the Innovationsallianz CNT, involving more than 70 companies Bayer said that its new plant would be the biggest carbon nanotube pilot facility in the world. This position is likely to be short-lived as Showa Denko in Japan is planning to open a 400 tonnes plant this year, Arkema is planning to scale up its production to 400 tonnes in 2011, while Nanocyl of Belgium said last November that it is installing a 400 tonnes reactor at its Sambreville plant, with start-up due this July.

Bayer has been making its Baytubes carbon nanotubes in a 60 tonnes pilot facility in Laufenburg in Germany since 2007. They can be added to polymer matrices or metal systems as a filler or modifier to improve their mechanical strength and impart electrical properties. The new plant represents an investment of around [pounds sterling]22 million. By comparison, Bayer forecasts the market for carbon nanotubes to grow by 25 per cent annually to reach $2 billion in 10 years.

Nanocyl also runs a 60 tonnes plant which will be augmented by the new reactor. As well as producing the carbon nanotubes themselves, Nanocyl is compounding them into thermoplastic concentrates for applications requiring electrical conductivity and protection from electrostatic discharge, and last year installed a 3,000 tonnes extrusion line to make its Plasticyl materials. A further development, in September last year, was to add facilities to compound high temperature thermoplastics, such as PEEK, to address the demands of the semiconductor industry for carbon nanotube materials that also needed chemical resistance.

Arkema, which is also in the carbon nanotube compound business with its Graphistrength materials, has expanded the range with new grades including its first universal masterbatch grade for thermoplastics, new grades for elastomers, and two solid concentrates, one for liquid epoxy and the other for water-soluble solutions.

How Hurricanes Form

by newsinbriefs.net Posted on November 9, 2011

KatrinaHurricanes get their massive amounts of energy from warm, moist air. A Hurricane typically will only form when a storm passes over water that is at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 degrees Celsius). In order to have enough warm water to fuel the hurricane, it should run to at least 150 feet deep (46 meters). The conditions for hurricane formation typically only between 10 and 30 degrees of the equator and the majority form between 15 and 20 degrees. They normally form off the west coast of Africa.

The warm, moist air rises off of the surface of the Atlantic, leaving a low pressure condition near the surface. Air from adjacent areas moves in to this low pressure area in a swirling motion due to the Coriolis force which is strongest near the equator. That new air is then also heated by the warm water, and also rises, adding to the energy of the hurricane. As the rising warm, moist air reaches an altitude where it begins to cool, the water in the air condenses and forms clouds. Because of the “swirling” action of the new air from adjacent areas, the cloud system begins to rotate and winds therefore increase. In addition to prevailing winds, the spinning action of hurricanes also causes them to move across the water.

As long as the storm/hurricane continues to move over warm waters, this process continues and can increase in intensity if the water temperature increases and/or the humidity in the air increases. When a hurricane moves over land it weakens due to the lack of moisture and lack of heat from the surface. While the surface of the land might actually be warmer than the water, it quickly cools just below the surface so the total available heat is much less. A hurricane can not survive with water temperatures below 79.7 degrees Fahrenheit (26.5 Celsius).

Lesser but nevertheless important factors required in the formation of hurricanes are low wind shear, high general humidity, and a pre-existing atmospheric disturbance (typically thunderstorms). Continue reading →

Flooding the hand that feeds you.

by newsinbriefs.net Posted on September 11, 2011

Last spring was a wet one for much of the Midwest and Mississippi Delta regions. Excessive rainfall pressured river systems and threatened communities with flooding.

With uncertainty rising as fast as the water, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) made tough decisions that thrust the town of Cairo, IL7 and the communities in southeast Missouri into the national spotlight, while also raising the question: How much value do we truly put into American agriculture?

Located at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, Cairo was a bustling river town in the 1800s when its proximity to these two great rivers once made it an economic hub for the region. While the stately antebellum homes from this era of prosperity still stand, the economic engine that once propelled the old river city that Mark Twain often wrote about in his novels is sputtering.

Cairo’s economic woes were coupled with geographic challenges in May 2011, as its citizens watched the Mississippi River swell to record levels. As levees fought back the rising waters, the Corps moved closer to executing a controversial plan to protect the community of Cairo by destroying another.

Veiled by the night sky on May 2, 2011, roughly 250 tons of explosives shattered the evening stillness like a war cry and violently ripped through the Birds Point New Madrid levee to create a two-mile hole that welcomed 550,000 cubic feet of water–the equivalent of six Olympic-size swimming pools–every second. In an instant, the unfettered, unrestrained torrential waters overtook 130,000 acres of rich, productive farmland.
ONE MILLION SOULS

Dawn would shed light on the sheer magnitude of destruction inflicted upon the community of southeast Missouri. Fertile soil with the potential to feed more than one million people annually was washed away as quickly and carelessly as the grain bins, homes and livelihood of the families living in the area.

U.S. Representative Jo Ann Emerson (R-MO) was shocked by the amount of water that settled into the floodway. When assessing the land damage (ironically) by boat, she said she felt like she was out on a–a far cry from the farmland she was so accustomed to seeing.

The loss of property and income was staggering. The Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) estimated crop losses in the floodway at over $85 million, and the broader economic impact at over $156 million.

“It’s the ground that can never be replaced,” New Madrid County farmer Milus Wallace told The New York Times.” They don’t make any more ground, and this ground in the spillway is the best in the world.

Making major purchase decisions

by newsinbriefs.net Posted on August 29, 2011

As an entire generation of older producers prepares for retirement, younger producers are becoming more involved with the day-to-day responsibilities of running a family farm. This creates a decision-making dynamic that has many agri-marketers asking, “How do multi-generational farming operations make major purchase decisions?”

To answer this question, Paulsen Marketing conducted 14 different interviews with farm families throughout the Midwest. We spoke with older row crop producers, ages 46 to 70, and younger row crop producers, ages 25 to 45. These demographics represent a typical father-son(s) or father-daughter(s) farming operation.

KEY OBSERVATIONS

1. There is a high degree of “brand assimilation” in multi-generational farming operations.

If producers are loyal to a specific brand, it is generally because the brand has been assimilated into a farming operation from one generation to the next. The factors that drive brand assimilation from older to younger producers include:

FAMILIARITY

Most producers will purchase the same brand of equipment simply because they are more familiar with the capabilities and control system of the product.

INTEGRATION

An integrated equipment system (i.e. tractor, planter, sprayer, attachments, etc.) is important to maximizing operating efficiencies and improving production.

CONSISTENCY

With so many “unknowns” from one growing season to the next (i.e. moisture, heat units, pests, diseases, etc.) producers need a compelling reason to switch brands and add another variable.

Call In A Wave Of Fresh Energy And Progress

by newsinbriefs.net Posted on June 12, 2011

You could be familiar with the benefits of clearing stagnant power from your living space by giving your home a solid ‘Spring cleaning ‘ each year – but there’s also a little-known activity that may do miracles to clear stagnation from your life at any point : CLEAN YOUR vehicle! Your automobile is the symbol of progress and movement in your life. Keeping it clean and in good working order carries masses of active – and symbolical – weight! Think about that for a second.

An automobile that’s’s cluttered with varied objects and trash, poorly maintained and mucky sends a dynamic message of chaos and disorganization to the universe! The result will most often be struggle, lack, inertia and hurdles. Dump trash and useless items, put away items to be kept, and make your vehicle as neat and orderly as practical. Scrub the outside ( or visit your local vehicle wash ), wash all of the dust from the dashboard and console, and vacuum the seats and carpet. Three ) Shine and polish all hard surfaces, and employ a spray-on freshener for the seats and carpet. Buy a yummy-smelling air deodoriser too! Four ) Take your vehicle in for upkeep, if you haven’t been staying abreast of that.

Have the oil replaced, tune-up done, and replace tires that are worn or trickling. Five ) Write something similar to this on a little bit of paper : ‘This auto represents my smooth and simple transition thru life.

By keeping it in fine shape, I figuratively call forth the power to make consistent progress on any and all of my ambitions.
