The summer of 2015 is winding down with the subject of weather leading most local agricultural conversations. We have been experiencing a more

unusually wet time this year than we have in most of the past decade or so. Summer monsoons have dropped above average rainfall in all areas of the southwest with some receiving as much as 6” in a single drenching.

While the rain is welcome, refreshing, and of course needed, the damage it can cause is showing up in the forage market. The west coast dock workers' strike had backed up exports of forages to hay barns on farms across the west, creating an illusion of oversupply. In a supply and demand driven market, one can anticipate falling prices when inventory builds. Currently, producers are experiencing all time low returns for feed products harvested from their fields.

Although quality product is still commanding a premium, any forage damaged by too much rainfall at the wrong time has lost value to the point of being well below production costs. These lower prices further exasperate inventory control as producers are forced to hold off sales in anticipation of an upward trend in the value of the forage crop.

Cattle feeders in the beef and dairy industries in turn are benefiting from lower feed input costs. Coupled with dropping energy costs, there is additional room for margins in the feeding industry. Milk value appears to have stabilized and could possibly begin an uptick in pricing to levels that will return a fair profit to this producer group. Beef prices have dropped from their incredible highs and in time, the feedlots and processing plants may be able to experience normalcy in their production cycles.

Produce plantings in the western corner of Arizona were adversely affected by an unusual cloudburst that fell on the fields across the western end of the valley. Quick and professional response has recovered the acres and it

appears the growers there are on track to deliver the right amount of leafy greens, Coles and other salad bowl crops in time for normal winter harvesting.

The big news around the conference rooms is that companies like John Deere are scuttling plants and adjusting labor forces all across the globe. The fervor of the past 5 years is tempered by more realistic margins in the world of ag. Coupled with oil, gas, mining and other basic American industries adversely affected by political interventions, there is less demand for big iron to provide horsepower most anywhere on earth. However temporary this current trend may be, we still must recognize it is here and make the necessary adjustments for it.

For all of us, the cyclic nature of our business requires a solid plan laid out for long term operational success. While one year business plans work well for gauging year over year, reaching out 5 years or more will provide more realistic checks and balances for a focused view of an organizations ability to remain viable.

Empire Agriculture and our supplier partners have long term written plans in place and we manage accordingly. Inventory control, staffing needs and focused efforts are guided throughout a business year and the overall life cycle according to historical data and future projections stretched across a broad plain. This long term vision is what allows a family owned company in its 65th year to remain a true success story in a field littered with so many others that have fallen behind the times and are unable to deliver on past promises and commitments.

As another fall harvest approaches, we continue to ask that everyone remain focused on the safety of our valuable working force, our family and ourselves. Safety is paramount to success and we speak often that there is no job worth doing if it is not safe. Please always respect the danger of our working environment and practice placing safety above all else we do out there in the fields of the west.

52 RMS farms in Minnesota and Wisconsin. What the two researchers have found is that dairy producers turn to RMS for several reasons:

• Improved quality of life, especially more flexibility with schedules;

• More efficient labor management, which results from needing fewer humans to milk cows, and reduced labor costs;

• Less strain on human health, as milkers move away from the repetitive movements that often cause back, knee, wrist and hand problems;

• Upgraded technology that provides a wealth of information about each cow at each milking;

• Consistency from machines over the variability of human labor.

The labor savings from RMS can add up quickly for dairy producers. One Minnesota dairy in the study by Endres and Salfer installed a robotic system in 2012 to milk its 300 cows. In just one year, the dairy’s average labor costs dropped from $2.22 per cwt to $1.60 per cwt. It also reduced the dairy’s number of employees from six to three.

Milking efficiency also increases. The average milking time on an RMS is 5.5 minutes, Endres adds.

Endres points to five important goals of RMS:• More than 2.8 milkings per cow per day;• Less than five failed milkings per robot per day;• More than 1.5 hours of free time on the robot per

day for cleaning;• Keeping “fetch” cows (those that don’t naturally

head into the RMS on their own) instances to five to 10 cows per robot per day or less;

• Milk production at more than 5,000 lb. per robot per day. Achieving 4,000 lb. is OK, but 5,000 lb. is excellent, Endres says.

Feeding cows at the appropriate levels for their milk production is a key component of RMS. Enticing cows to visit the RMS regularly and frequently is accomplished by providing a partial mixed ration (PMR) at the bunk and offering additional concentrate at the milking station.

“The benefits with RMS are that you won’t over-condition cows because you are feeding them for what they need, and you’re rewarding the high cows with the

energy they need,” Endres says. “You’ll have more cows in a positive energy balance and gaining weight post-calving.”

Three years ago, Joel Lepple, Beaver Dam, Wis., installed an RMS on his family’s 300-Holstein operation. He and his family have seen all the benefits that robotic milking promises—plus calmer cows and increased milk production.

The Lepples installed two Lely Astronaut robotic milking systems, as well as a robotic feed pusher and two mechanical rotating cow brushes.

The Lepples’ cows average 2.83 milkings per day. Pre-RMS, the Lepples’ herd produced 65 lb. of milk. Today, with robotic milking, the dairy’s output has climbed to 78 lb. to 80 lb. of milk per cow per day.

Joel’s son, Brent, says the robotic technology has been a real benefit. He urges producers not to shy away from adopting the technology. “Accept it,” Brent says. “It makes life easier.”

“Most current users are satisfied with their decision” to install RMS, Endres adds. “Dairies can expand without hiring more labor, and producers can have a more flexible schedule.”

While an estimated 25,000 to 30,000 robotic milking systems (RMS) operate worldwide, about 500 are in place in the U.S.—and that number is growing,

says Marcia Endres, professor and Extension dairy specialist with the University of Minnesota.

Most RMS in the world today are single-box systems with a robotic arm serving one to five boxes. An RMS can be a free-flow traffic system that allows cows to operate on their own instincts, enticing them with the tasty treat they learn to find in the milking box.

The other main RMS style is a guided-flow system that takes a “milk-first, feed-second” approach by pre-selecting cows and sending them to the RMS through a series of selection gates.

For nearly two years, Endres and University of Minnesota colleague Jim Salfer have been conducting a study with

Harvesting 5,000 lb. of milk per robot per day should be the goal of any robotic system.

CUSTOM APPLICATION


He explained that work on a farm exposed to the elements can quickly alter the value of new technology.

“Walk the fields with us — and not on a sunny day, but on a rainy day when the lettuce can’t be pulled mechanically because the machine can’t go through the field,” Murray said.

But there is one underlying bonus for farmers in the meantime. Longtime business owners in the industry said agriculture is generally misunderstood — so at least they like the new attention.

“I’m happy to be speaking to an audience that doesn’t think that food is manufactured in a back room at SafeWay.” said Bob Martin, owner of Rio Farms who has spent his life in California’s Central Valley farming.

Farmers are all for water reuse, he said, “but we want to be able to control the source, control the quality," so farmers can assure their customers — and their customers' customers — that the water used to grow their food is clean.

What that means is that on-the-farm water reuse systems would be ideal, so a farmer knows exactly how the water was used before and how it was filtered and reclaimed, he and others said.

Farmers also want to know that data collected from their fields is secure. As big data analytics and data collection apps come to agriculture, farmers said they want to know that their data is not vulnerable to security leaks, that competitive information about plantings, expected yield, irrigation remains under their control.

Realizing what the real needs are that farmers have and addressing them is where the market opportunities are, said several investors who have been looking at the field.

“The best way to understand farming is to go out and visit the farmer,” said Lisa Prassack of Trimble. “A farm runs on a work schedule, the important thing is to walk a day in the life of a farmer and also of their trusted advisors, their seed suppliers.”

Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers partner Brook Porter said there's "huge opportunity" in agriculture but that would be entrepreneurs need to make sure their product makes life easier for the farmer, adds real value.

“There are a lot of great solutions but if we can’t connect them to life on a farm to help farmers, they fall apart” as business plans.

Amrith Gunasekara, science advisor with the California Department of Food and Agriculture, said the answer is to provide tech support along with the new tech product.

"It is not about setting something up and walking away and saying good luck. It needs to be supported, When these technologies are brought to the farm, bring a tech support (team) with them," he said.

Better yet, offer products with clear and multiple solutions. "We need technology that bundles the issues farmers deal with: water and nitrates in the soil, insects."

If you’ve any doubt that technology is in a rush to disrupt agriculture, consider the scene at the AgTech Silicon Valley 2015 conference.

Amid well-attended sessions covering the Internet of Things in farming, water reuse technology and agricultural data — where neatly-dressed Silicon Valley types mixed with suntanned and scruffy-shoed farmers — one session was standing room only.

It was the pitch session where entrepreneurs got four minutes to sell an ag tech business concept to venture capitalists and angel investors. One-time farmers, chemistry PhDs and data experts pitched electric motor tractors, solar-powered sensor tools that pinpoint soil needs around individual plants and an app for monitoring food waste in one’s personal lifestyle.

Tables outside the pitch room were lined with already launched products in the new world of ag tech.

There’s CoolTerra, a plant waste-based soil amendment that helps dirt retain water and therefore requires less irrigation; AgRite, a sensor software that provides farmers remote views and decision making controls on such things as soil moisture needs and pH balance differentiated by plot; and Farm Solutions, a mobile app for optimizing irrigation schedules in realtime. There were agriculture drones and harvesting robots.

Tech has officially met the field.

Sowing a new marketAccording to the Royse Law Firm, which hosted the conference in Google's hometown of Mountain View, the agriculture technology market is “still immature.”

Most investment deals are done at the seed stage, or as other forms of early-stage backing. But Royce also points out that there is no shortage of budding prospects.

Last year, there were a total of 264 ag tech financing deals worth $2.36 billion. According to AgFunder principals writing in TechCrunch, that’s a 170 percent jump from 2013 — and also makes agriculture a bigger tech market than clean energy, which attracted $2 billion last year.

But the nascent ag tech market also has different external factors contributing to a sense of urgency.

As a historic drought hangs over the Western third of the country, threatening half the nation’s fruit and vegetable harvest along with expansive cattle ranches, there's demand for increased precision and efficiency in planting, growing and harvesting.

For example, better measurements of the soil needs for particular fields — or even individualized plants — can help tell a farmer if the field or plant needs more water, more nutrients or should be harvested immediately.

Precision agriculture is what the market is calling for, Royce says, and tech can answer with satellite data collection and cloud-based storage and constant monitoring of fields for irrigation needs, likely crop yields, ideal harvest times.

Bring hype back to earthStill, farmers themselves had a clear warning for tech-savvy entrepreneurs who may be new to the agriculture market.

“Come talk to the growers. Don’t make something for us and say, ‘Hey I got something you are going to need,’" said Dave Murray of Andrew & Williamson Fresh Produce. "Talk to us first, see if we need it.”

Using clean water when calibrating a pesticide sprayer and carrying extra nozzles for quick repair of simple problems in the field are just some of

the tricks of the trade that can help growers save time, energy and money during spraying season, says a spray technology expert in the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences at The Ohio State University.

Because there are so many things that could go wrong when using a sprayer, growers need to take extra time to ensure they know the right techniques to keep their sprayers performing in optimum condition, according to Erdal Ozkan, an agricultural engineering professor with Ohio State University Extension and the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center.

OSU Extension and OARDC are the outreach and research arms, respectively, of the college.

With the rising cost of pesticides and fertilizers, growers who want to save money and spray chemicals as efficiently as possible need to make sure they choose sprayers that work as accurately as possible and get the job done with less use of chemical inputs, he said.

“Spray application requires more managerial decisions than any other farm operation because a lot of things could go wrong with a sprayer that you don’t know are going on,” Ozkan said. “For example, a nozzle could be clogged and the only way you can find out is by calibrating your sprayer.

“If you’re spraying more pesticides than you need, you’re wasting your money, and if you aren’t applying enough, you may have to go back and respray your entire field.”

Those are the kinds of mistakes that could result in poor performance of the pesticide and cost growers time and money to reapply to the entire field, he said.

Tips to Get the MOST9“Paying attention to the application rate, travel speed, spray pressure, nozzle selection and spray drift will lead any grower to a successful outcome — which is the efficient and effective control of pests,” Ozkan said.

The costs of wasted chemicals can be high. Farmers spend approximately $4.1 billion on pesticides annually, according to published reports.

“There are also environmental concerns to be aware of that can cause unintended problems such as spray drift or application of pesticides in certain areas that could cause chemicals going into waterways,” Ozkan said. “That is why calibration is so important.

“It’s not only how much you apply but how uniformly you are spreading it over the target.”

“It’s not only how much you apply but how uniformly you

are spreading it over the target.”

Out of Your Sprayer

In a recent CORN newsletter posting, Ozkan offers the following tips that can help growers get the most out of their sprayers:

1Know what kind of nozzles are on your sprayer and whether or not their patterns need to be

overlapped for complete coverage. Make sure the nozzles are not partially clogged, and never use a pin, knife or any other metal object to unclog nozzles.

2Nozzle tips with different fan angles on the boom and uneven boom height are the most

common causes of non-uniform spray patterns. They can all cause streaks of untreated areas that result in insufficient pest control and economic loss.

3Setting the proper boom height for a given nozzle spacing is extremely important in

achieving proper overlapping. To achieve uniform coverage on the entire swath of the sprayer, conventional flat-fan nozzles require 30 to 50 percent overlapping of adjacent spray patterns. Check nozzle catalogs for specific recommendations for different nozzles.

4Know your actual travel speed, and keep it as steady as possible. Increasing the speed by

20 percent may let you cover the field quicker, but it also cuts the application rate by 20 percent. Similarly, a reduction of speed by 20 percent causes an over-application of pesticide by 20 percent — an unnecessary waste of pesticides and money.

5Pay attention to spray pressure. Variations in pressure will cause changes in application

rate, droplet size and spray pattern. At very low pressures, the spray angle will be noticeably narrowed, causing insufficient overlap between nozzle patterns and streaks of untreated areas. High pressure will increase the number of drift-prone droplets.

6Avoid spray drift by not spraying when the wind speed is likely to cause drift. Keep the

spray pressure low if it is practical to do so, or replace conventional nozzles with low-drift nozzles. Also keep the boom close to the target, use drift retardant adjuvants, and spray in early morning and late afternoon when drift potential is less.

7Carry extra nozzles, washers, other spare parts and tools to repair simple problems

quickly in the field.

8Calibrate your sprayer periodically during spraying season to keep it at peak

performance.

9Be safe. Read the chemical and equipment instructions, and follow them. Wear protective

clothing, rubber gloves and respirators when calibrating the sprayer, doing the actual spraying and cleaning the equipment. Be well informed about the specific recommendations for a given pesticide, and follow the laws and regulations on pesticide application.

Imagine taking a brand-new tractor, worth tens of thousands of dollars, and purposefully trying to break it. That’s what the folks at the AGCO manufacturing

facility in Jackson, Minn., do just about every workday.

“We push these tractors to the limits,” says Arun Shankaran about the plant’s new testing procedures and state-of-the-art facilities. “That way,” continues Shankaran, one of the plant’s senior manufacturing engineers, “we ensure they are ready to run when they get to the customer.”

If there’s a defect with any of the tractors or sprayers built in Jackson, the techs, engineers and production workers find and fix it. And they, as do staff at all AGCO facilities, perform those tasks with some of the highest tech tools available in agricultural equipment manufacturing.

Specifically, the Jackson plant, since 2013, has undergone a $42 million upgrade and expansion that includes increases in capacity on the tractor and application equipment assembly lines. The project has also included an intensified focus on efficiency and

quality, adding leading-edge tools such as laser cutters, robotic welders and an array of quality assurance equipment.

The latter is used to run diagnostic checks of components and assemblies at five stages—or gates—in the manufacturing process. The first four gates are located along the production line and are where a variety of components is tested separately, including cab electronics, hydraulic and overall systems, and tire or track width. It’s at the fifth stage, officially known as Quality Gate Five and unofficially as the “Dyno-

Better, Stronger, FasterAGCO’s Jackson Plant:

A state-of-the-art testing facility is a new tractor’s worst nightmare, but a customer’s best friend. Read on for more about the “Dyno-Jounce” test and other leading-edge tools that help make AGCO farm equipment the best of the best.

Jounce,” where each assembled tractor gets checked as a completed unit, and in the process, gets rocked, rolled and generally run through its paces to simulate normal, as well as very intense working conditions.

Gate FiveModeled after a facility that tests combines at AGCO’s Hesston, Kan., plant, Jackson’s Gate Five became fully operational in September 2014. Costing some $1.97 million, Gate Five can hold and check two tractors at once, one on the “jounce” and PTO testing station, and the other on a chassis dynamometer. (A similar testing facility is planned for the application equipment built in Jackson.)

For the jounce test, a tractor’s rear wheels or tracks are positioned on pads that rock back and forth. This test, says Shankaran, “is used to verify that there are no loose fittings, hoses or electrical connections, and we do this by rocking the tractor back and forth at different speeds and intensities that simulate field conditions from normal to extreme.”

Afterward, computer data gathered during the test is examined and the tractor is physically inspected to make sure nothing came loose as a result of the shaking, which is so violent no one is allowed to be in the cab. “We say we run the test to simulate ‘extreme conditions,’” grins Matthew Dinesen, a mechanical engineering tech, “but I can’t imagine any farmer using a tractor in a field that rough.”

While still at the first station, the PTO is tested at various speed and load levels, and its output measured across the rpm range. The results are compared to the tractor’s rated horsepower to ensure optimum performance. Each tractor is then moved to the second station and the chassis dynamometer. Here, says Shankaran, a multi-roller bed is used “to verify different functions like the steering, brake, transmission shift quality, DEF functionality and limited powertrain performance.”

Six winches hold the tractors in place as they speed up to 33 mph and rev to as high as 400 HP. The dynamometer, explains dyno tech Derek Riewe, “reads the engine rpm, what gear we’re in and how well it shifts, and when it shifts, how low the rpm goes. If something was wrong with [something like] the shift, we would try to retest it

to see if it could have possibly been an operator error. Then, if that didn’t work, we would have to further investigate the transmission to see if something else is the problem.”

The plant staff not only corrects any defects on the tractors on which they are found, they also use the information gleaned from the tests to inform the production process, thereby preventing deficiencies from recurring. “What we learn,” says Eric Fisher, the plant’s director of operations, “also affects what we do upstream with creation of new training materials, and allows us to generally tighten up the process.”

Overall, according to Fisher, the work in Gate Five takes about two hours, and includes 250-plus tests and the analysis of more than 150,000 data points. In just the first month of operation, the inspections, he says, “yielded a 25% reduction in defects, and that’s just a start.”

Quality: Start to Finish While a commitment to quality never ends, it does have a beginning. At the Jackson plant, tractor and sprayer designs start with a new “powerwall.” Until recently the stuff of science fiction, the virtual reality design tool

allows models of tractors and sprayers to be created in 3D on an 8- x -16-foot screen.

According to Joe Black, an AGCO senior business analyst, engineers can review models virtually and improve designs prior to actually physically building a prototype. “They can review tractor designs as a whole,” he says, “as well as make small refinements, like adjust clearances, check sight lines and control ergonomics from the cab. This streamlines the design process, helping us build higher-quality machines, even keep costs down through new efficiencies.”

Farther down the production line, the new 3D models ensure that each component is made exactly to spec by a host of new devices, including laser cutter systems, and robotic welders and machining tools. For instance, the plant has two new 6,000-watt laser cutters that slice through sheets of steel with a heretofore unknown precision for this type of work.

According to Cole Wunschel, business unit manager of fabrication and welding, the new lasers can cut material as thick as an inch and a quarter to within .0016 of an inch, which is a measurement about one-fifth the diameter of a dust particle.

That accuracy at such an early stage in production positively affects the entire manufacturing process, as does the use of the plant’s new robotic welders that themselves work with state-of-the-art accuracy and speed, making higher-quality components, as well as saving time and money.

“You know you’re getting the same part every time … and more accurate cuts mean better joints for welding,” says Wunschel. “Those [welds] make for more durable frames, axles and other parts.”

The Goal“Like its customers, AGCO doesn’t embrace technology for its own sake,” says Bob Crain, AGCO Senior Vice President and General Manager, Americas. “There must be a return on investment.”

The expansion and upgrades at the Jackson plant, as well as those throughout the company’s global facilities, offer just that, says Crain, “in the company’s relentless pursuit of its stated goal — to be No. 1 in customer-perceived quality.”

It’s a promise that’s bearing fruit in the form of the world’s most innovative and reliable farm equipment, and it’s a promise that’s embraced throughout the company, adds Riewe. “AGCO’s commitment to being No. 1 in quality is really high,” says the dyno tech, who helps test tractors in Quality Gate Five.

“We’re really set on being No. 1. We’re doing everything we can to get it there. We want to be there by 2016, and we’re making progress every day.”
