ASTA Wraps Up Forage, Turf and Conservation Seed Conference

Cindy Zimmerman

The American Seed Trade Association (ASTA) wrapped up its annual Forage, Turf and Conservation (FTC) Seed Conference in Kansas City, Missouri last week.

The meeting, held on October 29 in conjunction with the Western Seed Association Annual Meeting, gathers over 800 attendees in the conservation and grass seed sector to learn about the latest industry news, share the obstacles and the strategies to mitigate them, and explore business opportunities for the seed industry. Given the momentum surrounding conservation-related efforts, the U.S. forage, turf, and conservation sector has long been at the forefront of promoting seed as the solution for environmental initiatives.

“There is tremendous excitement surrounding the future of the seed industry…in the forage, turf, and conservation seed space,” said ASTA Chairman Dan Foor. “To that end, ASTA has been working to provide information on cover crop demand to support its members in making real-time business decisions to supply seed to farmers and landowners.”

The FTC Seed Conference included a full day of programming featuring speakers from the private and public sectors, offering the latest updates on cover crops, conservation programs, federal policy, and more. During closing remarks, Rob Wendell of the Native Seed Group was recognized for his four years of service as Chair of ASTA’s Environment and Conservation Seed Committee. Al Holleman of Agassiz Seed and Damon Winter of L&H Seeds were welcomed as the Committee’s new Chair and Vice Chair.

Coming up next month is ASTA’s 2024 Field Crop Seed Convention December 10-13 in Orlando, and registration is already open for the 64th Vegetable & Flower Seed Conference, January 31 – February 4, also in Orlando.

ALMDA Asks USDA to Delay Animal Disease Traceability Rule

Cindy Zimmerman

The American Livestock Markets and Dealers Association (ALMDA) has formally requested that USDA-APHIS delay the implementation or enforcement of the final rule on Use of Electronic Identification Eartags as Official Identification in Cattle and Bison (ADT Rule), scheduled to become effective today, November 5.

In a letter to USDA-APHIS, ALMDA requested that the implementation or enforcement of the ADT Rule be delayed at least 180 days ensure USDA, state animal health officials, veterinarians, tag manufacturers, and the entire industry are fully prepared support the ADT Rule in a way that does not reduce industry traceability, slow speed of commerce, or increase costs for livestock markets and dealers.

ALMDA, working alongside livestock markets, dealers, order buyers, veterinarians, and state animal health officials, has identified numerous gaps in the implementation plan and communicated these to USDA officials. In September, ALMDA provided USDA with data that illustrated potential issues with the ADT Rule. As the implementation date has approached, the issues ALMDA identified are becoming a reality.

“ALMDA understands the need to protect the U.S. livestock industry and the intent of the ADT Rule to make the traceability process faster and more accurate,” said ALMDA Chair Brian Forester, a livestock market owner from Texas. “We have been transparent with USDA and shared data from member livestock markets across the U.S. which illustrate the complexity and challenges associated with implementing the ADT Rule. At this time, livestock producers, tag suppliers, and state animal health officials have acknowledged they are not prepared to implement the rule so we believe it is in USDA and the industry’s best interest to delay rule implementation or enforcement.”

    AGwagon Specially Designed for Farmers and Ranchers

    Cindy Zimmerman

    Certified Ag Dealership, in partnership with Fox Factory Vehicles, recently launched the first purpose-built truck for farmers and ranchers.

    The reveal of the AGwagon was made at the Ohio State Farm Science Review in September. Certified Ag Dealership CEO Pat Driscoll says the brand-agnostic vehicle design was created from input by a team of 14 farmers with their needs in mind.

    “One of the key things those farmers talked about was easy bed access, that’s why you see the fold-away steps on the side, because we’re not getting any younger,” said Driscoll. Vehicle features include advanced suspension, rugged wheels, all-terrain tires, modular bed accessory system, Starlink Internet, off-road lighting, and customizable storage solutions.

    The idea to create the AGwagon came from a meeting earlier this year between Driscoll and Scott Vickery with Fox Factory. “He said ‘you know how farmers when they buy a truck will take it somewhere and tear parts off and put parts on to make it more agriculturally capable. Do you think there’s an opportunity to have a product like that already in the market?'” Driscoll recalled.

    AGwagon is fully customizable to meet specific agricultural needs and is available in four major brands: Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, and Ram, and comes with exclusive AgPack® discounts.

  • U.S. farmers are using a new solution to treat soil compaction – a problem that affects over 68 million acres of farmland and significantly reduces crop yields. Unpac®, developed by Locus Agriculture, is an innovative biosurfactant soil amendment that successfully breaks up soil compaction through fermentation-derived technology. Three years of independent field trials have confirmed significant yield boosts of up to 34 percent in a multitude of crops, with an 86 percent win rate.
  • Farmers for Soil Health empowers farmers to lead the charge in sustainability—putting real money directly into their hands to drive change where it matters most: at the farm level. With enrollment now open, the program offers an opportunity for farmers to make a meaningful impact on soil health while benefiting financially. In its first year alone, 238 farmers enrolled, covering more than 78,000 acres, pushing the initiative closer to its goal of doubling cover crop adoption to 30 million acres across the U.S. by 2030. This innovative initiative, which is backed by corn, pork, and soy commodity groups, in partnership with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and USDA’s Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities, provides both financial incentives and technical support to corn and soybean farmers planting cover crops. The process is designed to be simple, featuring hassle-free enrollment and satellite-based remote monitoring and verification.
  • The American Soybean Association is expressing concern after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency imposed additional restrictions on farmers—a move that seems to have followed adverse comments from environmental groups.

    ZeaKal PhotoSeed is 1st Sustainability-Embedded Trait Tech

    Cindy Zimmerman

    ZeaKal today announced that PhotoSeed™ Soy has been validated as the first sustainability-embedded trait technology for agriculture, a technology that could expand the volume of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production by approximately one billion additional gallons on existing U.S. soybean acreage.

    Han Chen, co-founder and CEO of ZeaKal, says they were able to validate PhotoSeed’s impact on the carbon intensity (CI) score of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) from soybean oil by using well-respected analytic firm Foxley, LLC, which conducted an independent analysis according to multiple global standards and programs. “The data is also being reviewed by SCS Global Services, a leader in the field of sustainability standards and third-party certification,” said Chen. “The modelling shows that PhotoSeed can reduce SAF CI scores by up to 4.6 points.”

    Chen says PhotoSeed enhances photosynthetic capacity, increasing soybean oil by 15% and protein by one point without compromising yield or requiring additional inputs. “At a time when the cost and scale for renewable fuels production still falls short of petrochemicals, we can leverage plant genetics to capture carbon and expand the volume of global oil production without needing new land or infrastructure. ZeaKal’s genetics and agricultural partnerships offer the energy industry economically feasible feedstocks with improved CI features in the production of SAF and other renewable fuels.”

    Over the past several years, ZeaKal has built a harmonized supply chain for PhotoSeed soy, which includes Gro Alliance, Nutrien Ag Solutions, and Perdue AgriBusiness. The collaboration enables improved oil and protein production with improved sustainability features for the food and agriculture industry. With growing demand from energy, the initial three-million-acre East Coast footprint is an attractive source for low CI feedstock. PhotoSeed soybeans will be available for the 2026 growing season.

    Chen adds that PhotoSeed’s verification as a technology pathway for reducing CI also opens opportunities across the company’s other crop programs, including corn and sugarcane. For ZeaKal’s key crop programs, the company forecasts that the global volume of SAF production could expand to 7.5 billion gallons per year.

    Denali Changes10 Billion Pounds of Organic Matter into Fertilizer

    Cindy Zimmerman

    Organic recycling company Denali today announced it has transformed over 10 billion pounds of organic byproducts into natural fertilizers, according to its newly released third annual sustainability report detailing findings from 2023. The report also notes the company collected 1.7 billion pounds of food waste of which more than 75% was recycled into organic, nutrient-rich animal feed or made into customized formulations to address specific dietary concerns of cattle.

    2023 Report Agriculture Highlights By The Numbers
    ● Denali’s recycling efforts produced enough natural fertilizer to support more than 100,000 acres of farmland and manufactured enough animal feed to nourish over 40,000 cattle across five states.
    ● According to US EPA calculations, converting 1.3 billion pounds of food waste into animal feed resulted in an approximate avoidance of 780,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e) in 2023. This reduction is comparable to the greenhouse gas emissions produced by 185,641 gasoline-powered vehicles driven over the course of one year.
    ● Fertilizer and chemicals remain the largest on-farm expenditure accounting for 17.5% of on-farm costs, with animal feed closely following at 15.5%. Denali’s depackaging process enabled farmers to receive fertilizer and/or animal feed at no cost, saving them a minimum of $100 per acre.

    Denali convert organic wastes, such as unsalable food, into valuable products, according to CEO Todd Mathes. “Our business is inherently circular, returning value from the earth back to the earth by taking organic byproducts originally destined for the landfill and recycling them to save farmers money and advance the circular economy. Through our customized service offering, we connect with farmers across the country to offer fertilizer and animal feed tailored to their specific needs.”

    The company collects food waste from thousands of generators, including major retailers like Whole Foods Market and Albertson’s, as well as food manufacturers and distributors, hotels, stadiums, universities, and cafeterias across 48 states and Puerto Rico. Most recently, Denali launched depackaging technology across the US that automatically separates food from its packaging materials like plastic and cardboard, producing a cleaner stream of organic material that can be turned into animal feed, compost or converted into energy with anaerobic digesters.

  • The National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) expressed concerns about the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee’s latest report, criticizing the lack of scientific basis for recommending plant proteins as a replacement for animal proteins. The Committee recommends moving beans, peas, and lentils from the vegetable group to the protein group. While this increases the amount of recommended protein intake, this would be deceiving to Americans, as there are essential nutrients in animal protein that plant proteins do not provide.
  • The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) slammed the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee’s unhinged recommendations that propose replacing high-quality proteins like beef with beans, peas, and lentils.
  • For more than 30 years, the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association has offered the annual Redbook to help cattle producers effectively and efficiently record their daily production efforts. The pocket-sized booklet simplifies recordkeeping, which can enhance profitability and reduce stress levels. The 2025 edition of the Redbook is now available.

  • As the nation celebrates National School Lunch Week, U.S. parents are calling for Congress to reinstate whole and reduced-fat (2%) milk in U.S. public schools. For 12 years, students in public schools have been unable to access these widely consumed milk options in school meals. A new Morning Consult poll, commissioned by the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA), reveals that the vast majority of parents want these milk options to be available in school cafeterias, as they are at home.
  • The United States exports approximately $8 billion in dairy products to 145 countries around the world every year, which amounts to approximately one day’s worth of U.S. milk production each week. In fact, recent estimates indicate that the U.S. now exports more dairy on a fluid milk basis than we consume. These figures are increasing year after year meaning that trade has never been more important to the future of U.S. dairy than it is now. Within that context, IDFA submitted comments on the 2025 National Trade Estimate (NTE) Report, which details U.S. concerns with foreign barriers to trade for Congress annually. This year, IDFA’s submission included a range of concerns, including new barriers related to provisional tariffs on U.S. milk powder exports to Colombia and long-standing trade concerns such as Canada’s milk class policies.
  • The National Dairy Promotion and Research Board (NDB) honored Glen Easter and Larry Hancock as the 2024 co-recipients of the Richard E.
