Drought in the United States: Update
We have what's looking like good news to share! Comparing drought maps from last fall and today (pictured below), we are seeing drought improvement in the Eastern Corn Belt and reduction in severity and extent in the Great Plains. But, keep in mind that these conditions can change at any time. Center pivot irrigation not only offers insurance in drought years, but also preparation for unpredictable drought conditions that may arise.

Congratulations Keith Kincaid…and Colt & Tiffy! | by Jill Zwiener
If dogs could talk, Colt and Tiffy may possibly tell their new John Deere® Gator, “I love you!” Actually, it may sound a little bit more like, “Ahh rooo uuu!” Colt and Tiffy’s grandpa, Keith Kincaid, was awarded the brand new Valley® branded Gator last month. The first thing Keith’s son did was take his cute dogs for a relaxing spin around the field! I have a feeling they’ll see many more rides in their future.
Keith was entered in the Valley Gator Giveaway contest after purchasing a center pivot from his local Valley dealer, Inman Irrigation in Inman, KS. Check out this video of Keith Kincaid, Shawn Kincaid, Colt, and Tiffy in their new Gator!

Happy Arbor Day from Valley Irrigation!
We're celebrating Arbor Day by sharing with YOU our most cherished "tree" memories!
|
My first year of being married, my wife insisted we cut down our own Christmas tree. I had never done this as a kid, as we always bought one pre-cut at the lot. So we cut down this tree, bring it home, and put it up. It is the shortest, fattest tree ever – a total disaster (maybe a miscalculation on my part). In addition to that, for one month straight, it made this weird "clicking" sound at night and freaked us out. We kept thinking something was alive in it. So, next year, I bought an artificial tree and let the real ones continue to grow in the wild! - Matt Ondrejko, VP Global Marketing |
 |
As I find myself more and more becoming that grouchy old man who yells at the neighborhood kids to “Keep off my lawn, dagnabbit!”, I occasionally find my memory taking me back in time to when I was in their shoes. I hope all of you have many happy memories from childhood; it isn’t that they get you through life, but they can be little “sweet spots” during the day when they come to mind. This Arbor Day, perhaps you, too, remember a favorite tree or woodland. For me, two trees come to mind. One is the white birch tree at my grandparents’ farm. We climbed it often, and the curling white bark was kind of wondrous to me. I still associate that tree with many fond memories of that place and those times. The other was a large pin oak growing in a vacant lot near my house in my home town. It, too, was a “climber”; not just for me but for the entire neighborhood. It naturally became a competition to see who could (and would) climb to the highest spot before your nerve failed. For an eight-year-old kid, it seemed that you could see clear into the neighboring state from up there. Of course, it also taught the importance of keeping a grip—sometimes, the “hard way”! - Kelly Downing, Global Irrigation Specialist |
 |
I personally would not call myself a green thumb, but I do very much like my plants, and of course, my trees. Having only recently moved into a home that actually has its own yard (but no trees), my husband and I have proceeded to invest in some trees to spruce up the lot. Since we really, really like our trees, we have also proceeded to name each one, so now we have our two apple trees, Ohayo and Gozaimasu (think “Good Morning” in Japanese), a plum tree named Woody, and our lilac tree, Lilia. However, my prides and joys (can a tree owner play favorites? Is that totally unfair?) are Valentine and Sally, my lemon and Satsuma (like a mandarin orange) trees. Valentine was my very first tree, purchased 6 years ago (on Valentine’s day, thus the name) during World Ag Expo in Tulare, CA. Since this show is in February every year, and I live in Nebraska, I had to protect Valentine when I got off the plane in snowy, cold Omaha by carrying him under my coat. Like a proud parent, I couldn't believe my eyes when, within the first year, little Valentine produced a lemon, which was quite tasty, I might add. Since then, Valentine has grown to be as tall as me, but has failed to produce another lemon. Sometime I get sad, sometimes frustrated, but I continue to fertilize and trim Valentine back in the hopes that next year, he will bloom and shower me with a windfall of lemons. Now, Sally, on the other hand, is producing Satsumas like crazy – three are growing right now, and there are 10 more buds that have recently turned into fruit. So while I will continue to love and tend to Valentine, I will be able to bask in the sweet fruit that Sally has produced…someday…if the fruit ever ripen! So now, if anyone has any wise advice on how to make Valentine bloom and produce lemons, I am all ears! - Michelle Stolte, Global Marketing Manager |
 |
I will never forget Christmas 1995, the setting for my tree tale. Like many girls my age that holiday season, Santa gave me a Kitty Surprise! For those of you unfamiliar with this toy, or have blocked it from your memory, Kitty Surprise! was a stuffed cat toy that had a hollow stomach held together by a piece of Velcro. Obviously, the "Kitty" in Kitty Surprise! is the plush cat I just mentioned, but the "Surprise" was the kittens that came in the cat's stomach...that's right. I was a very lucky girl - my cat came with 5 kittens, which was the most that could come with the toy (though, I later found out that it was all a scam, as my 3 friends who all received Puppy Surprise! also had 5 babies in the weird, hollow stomach of their toys). My Aunt Susan found this toy to be both hilarious and awful. So, when I wasn't looking, she "catnapped" Kitty Surprise! and all of her kittens. Kitty Surprise! made it out safely, but the kittens...well, my Aunt Susan hid them in our Christmas tree. I looked around my house for hours until I found the kittens hanging on for dear life in the Christmas tree, which was dangerously leaning to one side, thanks to our cat (a real cat) Jasmine using it as a hiding spot...and Jasmine wasn't a small cat, by any means. - Kelly Cox, Global Digital Marketing Manager |

Happy Earth Day: Environmental Benefits of Pivot Rice | by Kelly Downing
As I sit in the office and watch the snow fall outside in the middle of April, it is amazing to remember that last year many field operations were complete by now. This year, hardly anyone has begun, at least in my neighborhood. What a difference a year makes! A popular response to unexpected (or unwelcome) cold weather is to say “What happened to global warming?” (there it is…that essential segue into the topic of the post!). Today is Earth Day, when the media run lots of stories about the environment, global warming and similar topics. I must admit, when I was asked to write about this topic, I didn’t think too much about it, even when thinking back to the first Earth Day. But then I did a little reflection and simple math and realized that this event is more than 40 years old, and I can remember the first one. Okay, now I feel bad.
Anyway, this seems as good a time as any to do a brief, if self-serving, review of some of the environmental benefits of pivot rice. During the past several years, several things have become clear. First, we have the potential to save lots of water. Our experience shows that we can grow very similar yields of rice to that obtained by flooding, using only 40 – 60% of the water. Second, we can save significant amounts of labor. No levees to build, no special planting operations for flat vs. levee areas, no gates to install, no flush to manage. Irrigating can be as simple as pushing a button, or even just clicking a mouse. In addition to these two primary benefits, there are others that are often overlooked, but exist nonetheless.
Depending on the level of technology used on the pivot, you may be able to check fields electronically, instead of burning fuel driving field to field. There is no concern about levees breaking and flooding adjacent fields or ditches. Herbicides can be more effective when all it takes to activate them is a quick pass with the pivot, instead of flushing the field. Applying fertilizer through the pivot greatly enhances its efficiency, and keeping the root zone unsaturated minimizes both leaching and volatilization losses of nitrogen. Application of chemicals through the pivot, whether fertilizer, herbicide, fungicide, or insecticide (when labeled for the practice) is much more uniform than via airplane, so effectiveness and efficiency is enhanced. This minimizes movement to off-site (unintended) locations.
Albert Einstein said, “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.” I think we have a tendency to work hard on the first part of this adage, and to forget the second. All major issues, including environmental issues, are too complicated, and too important, to be viewed as only “two sides” and via five-second sound bites. So, this Earth Day, let’s focus less on catchy slogans and momentary video clips. Instead, let’s work in practical ways to be the best stewards possible of the resources we have inherited. As I saw it (well) put once, let’s become “active environmentalists, rather than trying to be environmental activists." Have a great spring and a safe, prosperous crop year, and stay in touch.

Getting Ready for 2013 | by Kelly Downing
Isn’t it amazing how our perspective can change in such a short time? A year ago, the final month of winter seemed more like mid-spring. Our growing season started early and that pattern continued through the fall. In eastern Nebraska, our growing season was a full month ahead of “normal” conditions all summer long. Temperatures were abnormally high, and rainfall was frightfully scant, so crops matured earlier. Also, harvest was early and low (for dry land crops, anyway).
This spring isn’t horrible, but it seems like the winter is dragging on forever, when it is probably just a return to a more typical pattern. We are starting to see what we should expect: relatively warm periods intermixed with “regressions” into the 40s and freezing night time temperatures. As I try to remind my wife, it isn’t an unusually long winter, it is just what we should expect during the first month of spring.
It was nice last week to finally get into the field a little bit. I installed flow meters at Jeremy Baltz’s fields, in preparation for the growing season. Jeremy is helping us gather data for our crop insurance project. We will add his 2013 data to the others on file and use them to support an application to provide crop insurance for this production practice. Getting crop insurance coverage for pivot-grown rice has been a topic of interest for several growers. Valley Irrigation has been working with other interested industry partners for several years, and we are hopeful that we can file a successful application by the end of the year.
Part of this process is collecting some results that compare traditional practices with pivot irrigation. We have had some good luck with paired tests, and Jeremy’s fields will add to that collection. He has a flood field and a pivot field near each other; we will monitor relative yields, water use and other factors, and use these data to support the application. We welcome information like this from others, if you can share it.
The trend we have seen in the recent past continues—corn and soybean prices remain high enough to make those crops preferable to rice, at least for many growers with the flexibility to choose. It seems to the casual observer, though, that this trend is finally beginning to shift. If we really get all the acreage predicted into corn this year, and rice acres continue to shrink, there could be some good opportunities by next year. As usual, I will reserve my final predictions for the 2014 growing season for approximately December 2014!
In the meantime, I hope the weather treats you right, and I hope you have a safe, productive planting season. Stay in touch, and let us know what is going on in your area.

Preseason Irrigation | by Travis Yeik
As the weather warms and the days grow longer here in the United States, you’re preparing for the planting season. But, before you rush out of the house and sow some seeds in the ground, you might want to consider preseason irrigation. Preseason irrigation, also known as preplant irrigation, is the application of water during fallow periods in order to help seed germination and early plant growth.
Studies investigating irrigation practices in the 1980s and 1990s generally concluded that in-season irrigation was more practical than preseason irrigation due to the fact that winter precipitation could replenish the soil water profile. However, due to recent drought conditions, winter precipitation has not provided the necessary moisture required for preparation of the planting season. A rootzone soil moisture map (below), created on April 8th by scientists at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, shows below-average conditions throughout the central and southwestern United States.
A recent study1 in Kansas demonstrated that preseason irrigation amounts of 1.5 inches (applied separately in two passes several days apart with a sprinkler pivot) increased maize grain yields by an average of 16 bushels/acre. These returns were greatest when in-season irrigation amounts were limited to 0.7 inches/week and when planting densities were 27,500 plants/acre. Therefore, if water restrictions are tight this year, preseason irrigation may prove to be a successful strategy for you.

How Will Planet Water Spend Valley Irrigation Donation? | by Jill Zwiener
 |
| Mark Steele and Michelle Stolte |
Last week, Michelle Stolte, Valley Irrigation Global Marketing Manager, and I had the opportunity to spend some time with Mark Steele, Planet Water Founder and CEO. Not only did we get to see his cool new digs in the historic Bull Durham Building in downtown Omaha, NE, but we also had a chance to sit down and chat. He told us the money donated by Valley Irrigation will help fund the project they’ve implemented in Cambodia. This project supports schools and rural villages in the Siem Reap province (for those of you who are scratching your heads thinking, “Now where is that located?” it’s in the north/northwest part of the country). Gotta feel great about helping kids have fresh drinking water!
Mark said Planet Water has nearly 300 projects implemented in villages and schools in 10 countries in Asia. They have a number of new developments in the works, including looking to extend their childhood education programs into a community outreach program. The target will be caregivers and young children who are too young to attend school. What a great organization! We are proud that we had the opportunity to work with Planet Water and hope Valmont has the chance to continue the partnership!
Thanks again to everyone who was a part of the Valley Water Their World promotion! And don’t let the fact that we’ve already reached our goal stop you from giving more. Remember: You can make a difference!
Follow us on Twitter and Facebook for information on future partnerships and information on Planet Water!
