FALL 2001: Next Story Previous Story Contents LINKS: Past Issues NDSU Home You can sense the melancholy as Ed Lloyd ponders the future of North Dakota agriculture. His usual grin slowly turns to a frown and his shoulders droop a little as he thinks about what may lie ahead. Recognized around the state for his successes as an agri-businessman and legislator, Lloyd's comments and concerns carry weight. His frank words also are a little tough to hear. "Farmers get exasperated because their equity is eroding, and it has been at a serious level for 10 years," said the president of AGVISE Research, Northwood, N.D. Also a farmer and rancher, Lloyd's many accomplishments have been recognized with numerous honors, including the 1974 North Dakota Agricultural Association Award, 1989 NDSU Outstanding Agriculturist Award and the 2000 Grand Forks and East Grand Forks Agri-business of the Year Award. Lloyd believes the state's major industry is in a confusing and frustrating plight. As he sees it, new elevator complexes being built around the state need 100-car unit trains, indicating a call for large production. At the same time, some people suggest specialty crops or value-added projects with small, very specialized operations are the route to go. Lloyd thinks North Dakota cannot have it both ways. He is plainly unhappy as he suggests a return to the bygone days of the bonanza-style farms may be what's in store. "At some point, everybody will have 20,000 acres with tenants working on the farm. That isn't what people want to hear, but, unfortunately, that's the way it is," Lloyd said. "Every year, the farms get bigger and more people have to quit farming or take another job to make sure the family has food on the table."

Agriculture Base Programs National Strategic Team on Agriculture of the Cooperative Extension System Diversifying North Dakota Agriculture Background and Issue: The past five years have been difficult for North Dakota farmers and the rural economy. Weather (especially excessive precipitation), economic pressures, international trade fluctuations, low commodity prices and environmental concerns have all placed added stress on the farming sector. Those stresses have been compounded by North Dakota farmers' reliance on small grains like wheat, durum and barley as primary crops. This reliance on a monoculture has not allowed for good rotational systems with crop diversity and has increased producers' disease and marketing risks. What has been done? The North Dakota State University Extension Service launched a comprehensive educational program focusing on crop diversity and cropping systems. A series of programs, workshops and resource materials was delivered to producers and agribusinesses. Information about crops such as canola, field peas, soybeans, dry beans, flax, lentils and sunflower was included. Schools and workshops were held across the state. County extension meetings included speakers promoting risk reducing alternative crops and rotations. Extension agents and specialists also worked individually with producers interested in trying new rotational crops.

NORTH DAKOTA AND SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE J.C. Gardner NDSU Carrington Research Extension Center Carrington, ND 58421 North Dakota has much at stake in the future of agriculture. It is the state most dependent upon agriculture in the nation. Two-thirds of the state's economy is directly linked to agricultural production or processing. Employment opportunities are seasonal and mostly agricultural or energy related. North Dakota is a state among the highest in tillable acres and is also the most rural. It's people are closely tied to the land. Management practices which result in wind or water erosion, and even more subtle changes in the environment, are quickly recognized. While preservation of the environment is certainly one of the principal reasons for initiating study in low-input, or sustainable, agricultural production systems, the most urgent need may be economic. The cost of production has simply increased at a rate which exceeds the rate of return. Unlike many Great Plains states, North Dakota is fortunate to have the ability to grow many different species of well-adapted crop plants. Spring, winter and durum wheat, oats, barley, flax, soybeans, drybeans, rye, corn, sunflower, mustard, canola, buckwheat and millet are cropping alternatives that are considered each year. The search for new crops is always appealing. In North Dakota however, much potential exists in exploring new ways to produce the crops which are currently grown. The research and extension team to work on low input agricultural strategies for North Dakota has been identified. The backbone of our organization is the discipline-based specialist. This multi-disciplinary team is given incentive by the clear objectives of discovering lower cost production techniques which preserve the environment. It is our intent to keep this team within their present setting and to continue some of their previous activities. We see their efforts in low-input technologies serving as a challenge to their colleagues and an aid in the evolutionary process that accompanies change. This process has to occur within our research and extension community as well as the public. We will however, earmark funds and people specifically for sustainable agricultural research. We are seeking state, federal and private funds to strengthen our research and education programs in this area.

"Denying state protection to farmers who sell their grain to elevators holding dual federal-state licenses is yet another example of the lack of understanding that federal agriculture officials in Washington have for problems facing producers," says Agriculture Commissioner Roger Johnson, who left Thursday for NASDA's annual meeting in Lexington, KY. The U.S. Department of Agriculture now claims the states lack authority to license grain merchandising activities of elevators or to protect farmers who sell their grain on a cash basis to elevators that hold a federal license for grain warehousing. State licensing and bonding protect farmers if an elevator becomes insolvent.

15. Agriculture And North Dakota Agriculture and the North Dakota Economy North Dakota’s major industry is agriculture;38 percent of its economic base is attributed to the sector, and http://www.umanitoba.ca/afs/agric_economics/ardi/agricandndecon.html

Agriculture and the North Dakota Economy North Dakota’s major industry is agriculture; 38 percent of its economic base is attributed to the sector, and approximately 89 percent of the state is comprised of farmland (North Dakota Agricultural Statistics Service). Similar with other regions, the number of farms in North Dakota has decreased over the years while the average farm size has increased. Technological advances in agriculture have increased the amount of land that one farmer can efficiently operate. The state is the country’s leading producer of many crops, including durum wheat, barley, other spring wheat, sunflowers, and all dry edible beans. In terms of the percentage of its total state farm receipts, North Dakota’s two most important commodities are wheat and cattle, at 38 percent and 12 percent, respectively (Economic Research Service North Dakota Fact Sheet). With wheat playing such an important role, North Dakota's agricultural economy is less diversified than most states (Economic Research Service, 1998). The state is a major exporter of wheat; in 1997, it ranked second among all states in terms of the highest value of wheat exported. With such a dependence on this particular commodity, however, North Dakota's agricultural export base is narrow in relation to the other Northern Great Plains states (Northern Great Plains Rural Development Commission). Because agriculture represents a significant portion of North Dakota’s economic activity, the state is acutely affected by agriculture’s performance. Due to external factors such as weather, price changes, farm policy, and foreign trade, the value of agricultural output can experience great variability from year-to-year (Coon, Leistritz and Majchrowicz). As a result, North Dakota's net farm income can experience great year-to-year volatility.

16. Cofa COFA’s 15page report, entitled Building the Future of north dakota agriculture,included the following vision and mission statements, and five main goals http://www.umanitoba.ca/afs/agric_economics/ardi/cofa.html

Commission on the Future of Agriculture In the fall of 1997, North Dakota’s Commissioner of Agriculture Roger Johnson announced plans to form a Commission on the Future of Agriculture (COFA) in North Dakota. He wanted the commission to address two main issues: Assess North Dakota agriculture’s current situation and determine a vision for the future of the industry. Develop recommendations that would enable North Dakota’s agriculture industry to achieve that vision. The commission was formed partly in response to the harsh times that agriculture, the state’s main industry, had undergone in recent years. In particular, 1997 had been a rough year for the state’s wheat and beef cattle producers. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service, North Dakota’s net farm income in 1997 decreased by 90 percent from the prior year (Economic Research Service). During 1997, it was estimated that winter storms, spring flooding, early summer drought, and crop disease problems had led North Dakota farmers to endure losses of over one-half billion dollars; indirect losses were estimated to be nearly $2 billion (North Dakota Department of Agriculture). COFA held its first public forum in January 1998 at the state’s annual Marketplace event. Twenty other public meetings were later held throughout the state. More than 1,000 people attended these public forums, and others participated in writing. The public input process was similar to the approach taken years earlier in the Vision 2000/Growing North Dakota initiative, but now the process was focused on the state’s agriculture industry in particular, not just overall economic development. The working group went on to develop a draft report that was then modified and approved in June 1998 by the full commission. The commission’s work resulted in 54 recommendations.

Region 6 Environmental Contaminants Success Stories - North Dakota Return to Success Stories Pesticides In 1995, the EPA approved the North Dakota Endangered Species-Pesticide Management Plan. This was the first such plan in the nation. It is a collaborative effort between the FWS, North Dakota Agriculture Department, North Dakota Game and Fish Department, and local agriculture groups such as the Farm Bureau and Farmers Union. The plan protects four threatened and endangered species (pallid sturgeon, piping plover, bald eagle, and least tern) from 27 pesticides at nearly 150 breeding sites throughout the state. Currently satellite imagery and GIS technology is being employed to further protect these species from pesticides. The Environmental Contaminants program regularly participates with North Dakota Agricultural Extension Service to recertify pesticide applicators. This has proven to be an effective endeavor in presenting pesticides and wildlife before those who work with the chemicals on a daily basis. In addition to speaking personally to applicators, we also have made a video discussing pesticides and their impact of the environment. This video is shown yearly to thousands of pesticide applicators and farmers via satellite hook up throughout the state. Oil Field Waste Pits and Bird Mortalities
