   HUSA Oct 7 2026 - Kip Campbell

   Let's find out what's going on in the harvest world. Looks like our host David Woodruff has Kip Campbell from Bancroft, Idaho on the phone. Let's check in. This is part of a conversation where they're talking about high nitrate content and we found it interesting. Let's listen in. So have you ever had nitrates on frozen alfalfa? No, I've never had an issue with it. I'd never heard of it and I talked to my neighbor and said, oh yeah, I have heard of it once. Really? And my son was asking me about, what about my grass? Do you think we're going to have nitrates? I said, well, I've never heard of it in grass. Mostly cereal grains, oats and things like that. Yes, that's what I've heard of them. There's more wheat and oats and barley. The stress seems to bring the nitrates up. Yeah, which this year has been dry enough and hot enough that it's a possibility. There could be some stress there. Yeah, and I was told as long as you don't feed it straight, like you said, cereal type out hay, the grain hay, you'll be okay. If I do have an oat hay or a wheat hay, I just feed alfalfa with it and mix it. Right, yeah, I had that happen. It wasn't from freezing, it was from too much hog manure fertilizing it. How? It stressed the plant like crazy and boy, we started popping out dead hairless little calves like crazy. I pulled that stuff and started mixing it off with others and it helped, but more than half my herd came up empty, not pregnant. Talking crops and cattle today with our host David L. Woodruff and our guest Kip Campbell. That's going to do it for today's Harvest USA report. Thanks again for listening and may God bless. I'm Brian Hale.

   HUSA Oct 6 2026 - Kip Campbell

   Farming Operations: Kip Campbell from Bancroft, Idaho, is involved primarily in cattle farming, with no grain cultivation. He is currently setting up hot wire fencing to pasture cows on fields including alfalfa and orchard grass, which do not grow tall enough for a third cut in the fall. Weather Impacts: The year has been characterized by a dry spring and summer, which adversely affected the pasture yield, followed by a wet fall. Such unpredictable weather patterns influence the farming operations and yield. Pasture Management: Campbell takes precautions against bloat in cattle pastured on alfalfa by using bloat-preventing blocks containing a surfactant that breaks down gas-forming bubbles.

   HUSA Oct 5 2026 - Harvest Roundup

   Let's find out what's going on in the harvest world. Neumiller Harvesting is in North Dakota reporting that the soybean harvest is in full swing across North Dakota. We got some great pictures there on our Harvest USA Facebook page. Thacker Harvesting reports that their grain cart operator Brayden is doing a great job on the Saskatchewan crew, keeping the combines rolling the last two weeks up there. Heil Harvesting LLC had a good point. They wrote, there's a lot of concern about the growing season that the millet hadn't gotten enough moisture to actually produce grain, and sadly many fields did not. Now that the millet really doesn't need rain, the annual monsoon showers have begun. We've been blessed so far to be in areas of dry weather so the swathers can keep rolling. While every farmer in this area is thinking of planting next year's wheat crop and desperately needs rain, those with millet in the field get pretty anxious when the clouds start to form. The hard rain and gusty winds associated with these storms can knock nearly ripe millet seeds out of the plant heads and scatter them on the ground where they're lost. That is extremely disappointing and discouraging, and it's a major reason that millet swathing is so time critical. Laying the crop in the window protects it from that type of loss. When the millet's ready, it has to go down. A little educational information there from Heil Harvesting LLC. The National Association of Wheat Growers CEO attended North American Millers Association's annual meeting this week to provide an update on the wheat industry, highlight NOG's advocacy efforts, and discuss how millers and wheat growers can work together to strengthen and advance the wheat industry. Another opportunity to connect with industry partners and continue building collaboration across the wheat value chain. That's going to do it for today's Harvest USA report. Thanks again for listening and may God bless. I'm Brian Hale.
