EPA is making changes to its initial cost-benefit analysis.
In late August, EPA completed and submitted the final
package to the OMB for a 90-day review. EPAs Office of
Policy has included the NSPS for grain elevators as one of
the rules that it would like to complete by the end of 2016.

Where is the industry at right now with the ongoing

implementation of the Food Safety Modernization Act
(FSMA) rules?
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued
final requirements for all the major rules the agency was
required to establish under FSMA. The first compliance
date for FDAs cornerstone rules that established current
good manufacturing practices CGMP and preventive
control requirements for human and animal food was Sept.
19, 2016. On that date, covered human food facilities
that are considered large businesses are expected to be in
compliance with all of the rules major requirements. In
contrast, Sept. 16, 2016 represented the date when large
animal food facilities are to be in compliance with the
CGMP part of the animal food rule. Large animal food
facilities have until Sept. 18, 2017 to be in compliance
with the preventive controls provisions of the animal food
rule.
The NGFA has conducted numerous regional FSMA
seminars over the past six months to help educate the
grain and feed industry about the new requirements
and compliance obligations, with more 1,000 industry
representatives attending. In addition, the NGFA is engaged
actively in delivering training developed through the
Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance that is designed
to inform the industry on how to comply with CGMP
and preventive controls rule. The industry still has many
questions about the new requirements, and the NGFA is
working to address that need.

Depending on who wins the presidential election,

what effects, if any, do you foresee on the regulatory
climate in the grain industry?
In the safety, health, and environmental area, we believe
that a Clinton administration will continue with the same
regulatory agenda and enforcement policies as the current
Obama administration. With a Trump administration, we
anticipate that the emphasis on regulatory and enforcement
programs will be redirected to education and consultation.
We look forward to providing input to either adminis-
trations transition team on these issues and will reach out
to the new administration to advocate the industrys views.

manufacturers have not generated load

research that was done over 30 years ago.
In general, the loads on the cable
are greater as the bins get taller. We
would expect to see loads on farm bins
of about 800 to 1,000 pounds per ca-

expect to see at least 2,000 pounds per

but it also has a different function as a

Terminal Description
The four main slipform concrete
tanks stand 32 feet in diameter and
140 feet tall. They are outfitted with
45-degree steel hopper bottoms elimi-
nating the need for workers to enter the
tanks to empty them. All are equipped
with BinMaster capacitance probe level
indicators.
The two dry-grain storage tanks
are outfitted with three-cable Rolfes@
Boone grain temperature monitoring
systems. Each tank has a 50-hp AIR-
LANCO centrifugal fan with silencer
that provides 1/7 cfm per bushel of
aeration with the assistance two 2-hp
roof exhausters.
The two wet tanks have no tempera-
ture monitoring or aeration, since the
grain they hold will proceed directly
to the dryer.
The Chief tanks stands 90 feet in diam-
eter, 88 feet tall at the eave, and 114 feet
tall at the peak. The flat bottom tank has
outside stiffeners, a 16-inch GSI Series II
sweep auger, 18-cable Rolfes@Boone grain
temperature monitoring system, and Bin-
Master capacitance probe level monitors.
A set of four 40-hp Caldwell centrifugal
fans provide 1/10 cfm per bushel of aera-
tion through in-floor ducting.

 OLD TIME ELEVATOR

The Last Scottish Coop Elevator

MANITOBA FARM FAMILY MOVED ABANDONED ELEVATOR ONTO THEIR FARM

by Barbara Krupp Selyem

Glass, MB, Canada was a water stop

for steam engines traveling between
Winnipeg and Elma, MB on a 1907 rail
line that became part of the Canadian
National Railroad (CN) in 1923. Today,
there are three homes at Glass and one
business. It never has been a large com-
munity, but at one time, it did have a
grain elevator.
In 1938, the Scottish Coopera-
tive Wholesale Society Ltd. built a
30,000-bushel crib elevator at Glass.
This cooperative was founded in
Glasgow, Scotland on Sept. 8, 1868 to
purchase and manufacture goods to sup-
ply to local retail cooperatives. Around
the turn of the 20th century, the society
expanded into Canada and acquired
grain elevators and timber companies
to supply raw materials for its milling
and manufacturing operations. At its
peak in 1923, the cooperative had 19
elevators in Canada.
Scottish Cooperative sold its eleva-
tors to the Manitoba Wheat Pool in
1973, and in December of that year,
the Pool closed the Glass facility. It sold
both the elevator and the managers
house to Sarah and John Vaags who
were raising cattle on their farm near
Dugald, MB.
The Vaags daughter was newly mar-
ried, and she lived in the house for a
couple of years before selling it. John
Vaags used the elevator on its original
site to store grain for feed. The $5,300
price tag was a good deal, at least for
a while.
Then the CN demanded that the
Vaags move the elevator or tear it down.
They chose to move it.

This 1938 elevator, formerly owned by the Scottish Cooperative Wholesale Society Learning on the Job
Ltd. in Glass, MB, spent its final years as part of the Vaags family farm. The elevator Moving the elevator was very expen-

are ripe for other toxin producing
molds, as well.
Long-term storage may be com-

Fall Corn and Bean Basis is Cheap

Corn: If merchants can come out of harvest owning basis
and carry it, merchandising returns of 35-40 cents per bushel
gross can be achieved.
Farmers have not been willing sellers and are utilizing
storage and delayed price services at the elevator. It is crucial
to have fall policies and service charges to match the value
and risk of the cash markets. Many elevators are not taking
appropriate bid margins and undervalue their services, which
is not financially defendable in todays cost structures.
In the next several weeks, you will want to get futures
carries locked in on ownership. Futures carries are bullish
for December/January/February basis and bearish for post-
harvest freight.
Beans: Own/hedge it, if you can put it away. Decem-
ber/January export basis is firm and should be sold river
and rail. For those not tributary to the export market,
carries have developed in bean futures, and you should
roll hedges to the January, March, or May to gain time
to merchandise basis.

Producer Financial Environment

Three years of declining commodity prices likely will result
in increased incidences of farm bankruptcies. Lean hog and
cattle margins are stressed, too. Many of your younger em-
ployees have not experienced these challenges in their careers.
Training employees on policies and processes for identifying
and dealing with AR challenges is warranted.

spite of the cash market paying some of
the cheapest basis levels we have seen in
decades and the futures paying 90% or
more of full delivery carry. The export
market stayed relatively firm because
of high carry values and improving de-
mand. Because of these cheap prices and
ocean freight, we are becoming more
competitive in the world markets.
Millers had weeks of bargain hunt-
ing and built stores of good-quality
wheat at the protein values they wanted. This left them set
for several months, but they have been selling lots of flour
and are grinding slowly through those inventories forcing
them back to the market. Replacement cost of higher-pro-
tein wheat is going up defiantly.
The lower-quality wheat has been finding its way into
the feed channels. The USDA is looking for an almost
150% increase in wheat feeding, and we believe feeders
will meet that projection. This has eliminated much of this
years low-protein wheat.

Opportunity for Carry

Many elevators are getting close to handling the fall crop,
and these basis levels and spreads are offering a great oppor-
tunity to carry wheat. The big question is: Will the farmer
will be a seller at these relatively cheap values enabling the
elevator to replace inventories?
Continue offering minimum price cash contracts to your
producers. By selling their grain and buying a call, they es-
tablish a floor while leaving upside potential, if it occurs.
This contract will give the producer most of his money up
front in a limited down-side risk scenario lowering his cost
and flat price exposure, if the market rallies. Due to the low
volatility, the cost of calls are relatively cheap.

MEGA DRYERS
A GLOBAL LEADER IN GRAIN DRYING EQUIPMENT FOR 20 YEARS

T
he economic recession of the
early 2000s affected nearly every
industry worldwide, including
grain. In Argentina, for example, economic
collapse forced many companies to close
and workers to lose their jobs, while
government-imposed restrictions reduced
the countrys cash flow to virtually zero.
In response to the economic hard-
ship, forward-thinking organizations
like Argentine grain dryer manufacturer
MEGA Dryers, together with other
companies in the region, took a risk by
developing a sales strategy based on the
trade of goods rather than currency value
to keep operations running.
We started selling grain dryers and
received bulk grain as a form of payment, Co-owners, Engineers Marcelo Lombardo (left) and Marcelo Valfiorani (right).

What separates MEGA from others in the market is its

To that point, the companys innovative use of

AFIA/NGFA Hazard
Evaluation Project
The research and education wings
of the American Feed Industry Asso-

and Feed Association (NGFA) have
set November 2016 as a target completion date for a joint proj-
ect to help animal feed, feed ingredient, and pet food facilities
comply with a core requirement of the Food and Drug Admin-
istrations (FDA) Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
AFIAs Institute for Feed Education & Research (IF-
EEDER) and NGFAs National Grain and Feed Foundation
(NGFF) are co-sponsors of a hazard evaluation of typical in-
gredients and processes associated with the manufacturing and
distribution of animal feed and pet food being conducted by
researchers at the University of Minnesota College of Veteri-
nary Medicines Center for Animal Health and Food Safety.
According to Joel G. Newman, AFIA president and
CEO and IFEEDER president, the results of this project
are expected to provide a strong scientific basis for identify-
ing hazards and developing a hazard analysis that compa-
nies can adapt to their specific operations, thereby poten-
tially saving covered facilities millions of dollars.
