Once again an amazing harvest. I’m notsaying amazingly good, or amazingly dis-gusting, but simply amazing.

Review the 2011 crop year. One of thewettest and coolest springs, with soybeansand even corn still being planted in June,sometimes late June. Crop chances? “Fifty-fifty” were the odds at the local coffeeshop.

Then July with generous amounts ofheat, high humidity and an incrediblyrapid accumulation of growing degreedays; unfortunately right through thecritical pollinating period. My area alsogot a July first blast of 85 to 90 mphwinds — 24 trees down at my place —plus hail. At the local coffee shop, however, the oddswere still 50-50 for a decent crop.

August was “cozy” with just about the right stufffrom Mother Nature. Nowmy coffee shop gang waseven getting a bit excitedabout their crops. Com-modity prices scratchinghigher virtually everyother day helped reinforcebubbly moods. Septemberstarted almost as good.

Then Mother Nature’s cru-elest trick: on Sept. 15, 26 to28 degree temps blanketedMinnesota, northern Iowa,South Dakota and North Dakota. Suddenly going tothe local coffee shop was a challenge.

However, thanks to September cranking out dayafter day of ideal weather, crops did some readjust-ing. Granted, corn that didn’t “black layer” beforethat September frost is coming in light. Yet farmersin early October were talking 200-bushel yields ...and 120-bushel yields ... sometimes in the same field.Tilers are having another bonanza.

Will there be enough seed for 2012? Sort of dependsupon which seed company rep you talk with. ThankGod for carryover seed. For certain South Americanproduction will be big this winter. I recently visited alocal soybean seed conditioning plant. Last year 98percent of the delivered soybean seed crop graded out“good to go.” Not so this year. His early prediction isonly about 90 percent of the seed crop will make it;and for certain lots of smaller-sized soybeans (corn,too) for the 2012 planting season.

But life goes on. As ideal and “easy” as the 2010harvest was, this 2011 harvest could wrap up even

sooner. Our early October splurge of 85degree temps will do that. Even beet har-vest was temporarily stopped. Pilingbeets is early October when Minnesotatemps are 85-plus just doesn’t work.Check your ‘wellness’ card

Being a veteran Minnesota senior citi-zen, but fortunately not yet beinginvolved in the prescription medicine rou-tine, it seems my duty to share a real-lifestory involving my brother-in-law. He, too,is a senior citizen and unfortunately he’sexperiencing some health problems.

Here’s his story as he shared it withme:“I was having trouble getting my

breath, and my heart was pounding. So I went to seethe doctor; he sent me to a cardiologist. And fromhim I learned I have a heart valve problem. But healso assured me that a drug called Flecainide could

help stabilize my heart.That was OK with me sohe asked me where Iwanted my prescriptionfilled.”

He opted for a nation-wide pharmacy “since itwas right on my wayhome.

“When my prescriptionwas ready I asked howmuch it cost. The phar-

macist said $165. I said, ‘I hope I don’t have to stayon that drug the rest of my life.’ He said, ‘More thanlikely you will, but if you want to sign up for the Pre-scription Savers Club, we can save you money.’

“The Club dues were $20 but that dropped the costof this $165 drug to $55. So I wrote a $75 check forboth Club dues and the Flecainide and left the store.On my way home I started thinking how easy it wasto drop $110 in the cost of my prescription medicinejust by joining this club.

“But it also made me curious about the ‘real cost’ ofthese prescription medicines. So I stopped at a localdrug store not far from my house to see what itwould cost there. The local pharmacist just aboutknocked me off my feet when he said $18.20. And hetold me his cost for that particular drug was about$12. I decided to some more checking so I stopped atanother local store which also had a pharmacydepartment. They, too, told me the cost would beabout $18 to fill my prescription. Another big store

MINDS, from pg. 2Awas nearby. I stopped and the price forthis drug was about $75.”

I’m sharing this for the simple fact that if your lifehas moved into the prescription drug era it might beworthwhile to check with more than one providerwhen it comes to filling your particular prescription.Just maybe the “big name” providers aren’t your lowcost providers. For my friend, needless to say, hislocal drug store is now his No. 1 provider.

Unfortunately doctors aren’t aware of theseremarkable disparities in prescription medicinecosts. Even if they were, professional ethics andpotential litigation issues make it difficult for doc-tors to suggest providers of prescription medicine.So my advice is simply don’t assume the big-namestores are the best buy when it comes to filling amedical prescription.

Our “socialized medicine” transition that seems tobe sweeping across America may have some initialfinancial appeal but huge scams within the Ameri-can drug industry also seem to be occurring. Weknow all too well who ultimately pays the bill.A humorous note

This particular anecdote originated with my otherbrother-in-law, long retired from farming and nowenjoying “fairway privileges” at his local golf course.Which means he and his cronies can show up justabout any time (except Ladies Day) with almostimmediate access to their tee box. That is, when

health permits.He recently gave his dear bride a bit

of a challenge when he mentioned at bed-time some significant discomfort in his upper chest.Four years ago he had major surgery replacing afaulty heart valve so little wonder his wife wasimmediately alarmed.

They quickly huddled. It would take 15 to 20 min-utes for the ambulance to get to their farm. Shecould drive him to the local hospital quicker, so shedid. At the hospital the immediate diagnosis wasambulance delivery to a Sioux Falls hospital for apossible heart stent procedure.

I’ve always had some regard (and suspicion) aboutthis particular brother-in-law’s weird sense of humor.For example, in describing his ambulance trip onHighway 23 from Marshall, Minn., to Sioux Falls,S.D., he wondered if, when the local ambulance crewpurchased their ambulance, they first measured thewheelbase to match it up against the highwayjoints.

He ventured, “I think they must have because asthe ambulance sped to Sioux Falls with me strappedtightly onto a gurney, which I’m certain had lessthan one inch of padding, I felt every Highway 23joint that entire 100-mile jaunt. And Highway 23won’t win any blue ribbons for being smooth andshock-free, especially in an ambulance speeding 75mph and faster.”

During his unexpected ambulance journey, his

mind apparently got restless. “As the ambulancesped down the highway,” he said, “I thought, howstrange — here I am potentially facing some seriousheart challenges and my body is feeling every whackof this highway. But if I were dead and being trans-ported by a hearse, I’d be in a velvety, cushion-linedcontainer inside an $80,000 Cadillac with zero high-way noise and a suspension system so perfect thehighway would be a virtual pillow.”

Well, nice to have a brother-in-law with a sense ofhumor, weird as it may be. Yep, he had a stentinserted and was back home the next day. In fact, aday later he was assisting the Belview Legiongrilling hamburgers during September Sod Days. Asyou might suspect, he doesn’t always listen to advicefrom his doctor either.King of crops

On a different note, my hometown of Olivia, Minn.,recently reinforced its claim as the Corn Capital ofMinnesota. The Bird Island-Olivia-Lake Lillian-Danube FFA chapter cut corn stalks (courtesy ofMycogen Seed) and set up corn shocks in front of 18downtown business establishments. One of Min-nesota’s state FFA officers was visiting the BOLDchapter so he, too, got involved in making Olivia lookjust a bit more corny.

My real home town of Northwood, Iowa, started thesame “fall dress-up” campaign a few years back andmerchants really get into it with pumpkins, ribbons,strings of beads, even miniature Christmas lightsdecorating each corn shock. Indeed, it’s quite a sightand what better way to show why corn is indeed theKing of Crops.

A closing thought suggests we once again be thank-ful to our Lord for a decent and amazingly rapid har-vest. Fall tillage, too, has suddenly ramped up.Unfortunately community fire trucks have beenchasing combine fires far too often.

To the Editor:So much of what you write in this recent article is so

true. Township government is “American governmentat its best” I am appalled, however, when I read thatthe treasurer keeps financial records in long hand.

There is a highly efficient statewide computerprogram called CTAS that provides monthly finan-cial reporting, can print checks including payroll,set up a budget and provide numerous reports toaid in making good financial decisions.

I hope that readers are not misled to think mosttownships operate that way because that is nottrue. Moreover, the Minnesota Association of Town-ships provides regular training workshops to keepclerks, treasurers and board members up-to-dateon CTAS financial reporting.

Leslie Township obviously has not taken advan-tage of that. I would hope they would consider usingit soon.Colleen JacksonChairman Rapidan Township, Blue Earth County, Minn.

To the Editor:With interest I read the

Back Roads story on LeslieTownship Hall meetings. I live in rural America andknow about town hall meetings, a basic unit of gov-ernment. The writer of the story quoted Dennis Milleras saying “that township government is truly demo-cratic” and is “grassroots democracy.”

I have a question: When they start their meetingwith the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, do they say“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States ofAmerica and to the ‘democracy’ for which it stands”? Ibet they say “Republic.”

If government at its best is grassroots democracy,then we are in trouble.

Our founding fathers gave us a ConstitutionalRepublic, not a democracy. The word democracy is notin the Constitution. Government at its best is a Con-stitutional Republic, rule by law, not a majority ruleas in a democracy.Tom SullivanGranada, Minn.

Letter: Americaa republic, notdemocracy

OPINION

To the Editor:In response to comments con-

cerning township governments(Printed above. -Ed.) it is unfor-tunate a township officer wouldbe appalled at another townshipdoing things their own way.

For a township officer to thinklocal government needs the state

to do its bookwork, etc., is ridicu-lous. In a way, her letter describeshow the governments of this stateand nation are in the financialmess which we are in.

It is unfortunate that peoplethink state government is theanswer.

To me, it is quite rewarding to

attend the meetings (as a citizen)and observe township business inits entirety, without relying on“Big Brother.”

If needed, I will purchase a boxof ink pens and donate to thetownship.Roger DukowitzBrowerville, Minn.

Editor’s note: The Land correspondentsTim King and Jan King’s Sept. 16 BackRoads story “Government at its best” —online at http://bit.ly/theland2011-0916(go to Page 32A) — instigated some talkon the topic of local government, as seenby these Letters to the Editor.

Farming and ranching have alwaysinvolved a lot of straightness. Straightfence lines, straight rows, straight deal-ing.

Politics not so much. Twisted thinking,circular debate and, more often than wecare to admit, crooked people litter thepolitical scene.

In fact, today’s politics are dominatedby the inside-out logic that doing nothingis better than doing anything. We evenpay dozens in Congress at least $174,000per year to ensure it.

Small wonder then that so manywith so little are so willing to fight sodirty to attain, then keep, politicaloffice.

Life after office ain’t so bad, either.According to the “Revolving Door” database main-

tained by the Center for Responsive Politics(www.opensecrets.org), 370 former members of Con-gress currently “receive handsome compensationfrom corporations and special interests as theyattempt to influence the very federal government”they formerly served.

This auction of public trust virtually guaranteesspecial interests a 24/7/365 lock on national inter-ests.

For example, if you’re a trans-national meat-packer you can purchase all the influence — fakeeconomic studies, key committee people in Con-gress, astro-turf farm and ranch groups, solemn lob-byists — to make market-leveling regulations sim-ply disappear. And the laws, like the competition,soon do.

It might seem like sleight of hand but it’s not. Wesee it. We even write and talk about it and, sooner

than later, we pay for it.The deregulated, failing banks. An

energy policy built on unsustainablefuels. A food inspection system thatinspects almost nothing. Meaninglessantitrust laws. Corporate “free” trade.Unlimited campaign spending.

Add it up and it amounts to socialismfor capitalists and capitalism for every-one else. The Big Boys bend and buy gov-ernment to do their bidding — fewerregs, lower taxes, more subsidies — whileyou, with little money, no influence and

no lobbyist, are told to compete.The first week of October showed

this crooked approach to democracy infull bloom.

On Oct. 3, the White House sent to Congress threetrade deals (Panama, South Korea and Columbia)that have been hanging fire for years. Easy, swift —as in two weeks — bipartisan Congressionalapproval is predicted.

That very day the U.S. Senate agreed, by a bipar-tisan 79-19 majority, to impose import tariffs onany nation whose currency is purposely “mis-aligned” against the dollar.

The legislation, aimed directly at China, has zerochances of enactment because Big Ag and Big Bizwill send its lobbyist poodles to nip it to death inthe House so China’s Western-owned factories cancontinue to send us stuff we don’t need at prices

that will be fully paid by our grandchildren.That the three free trade deals will sail unques-

tioned through Congress in 15 minutes and theChina currency deal won’t make it out of Congressin 15 years is more proof of our democracy’s grow-ing dysfunction. People come second to profit.

Only one major ag leader, Roger Johnson, presi-dent of the National Farmers Union, questionedthe need for the trade deals and the principles ofour soon-to-be biz partners.

While “agriculture has been one of the few sec-tors (in the U.S. economy with) … a trade surplus,”Johnson noted Oct. 3, it also has had “a net tradedeficit in seven of the past eight years with coun-tries that the U.S. has trade agreements.”

That red bottom line is written in blood for someof the pending trade partners. In Columbia, forexample, Johnson added, more than 2,800 tradeunionists have been murdered since 1986; “51 in2010 alone.”

So that’s our business plan; become partnerswith folks we wouldn’t share a cup of coffee with inthe hope — a vain hope, according to the record —of selling them a bushel of corn or a pound of ribs?

Little wonder so many people in this gloriousnation think we’re headed straight off a cliff.

The Minnesota Soy-bean Growers Associa-tion disagrees with legis-lation introduced in Congress Oct. 5that attempts to reduce the Renew-able Fuels Standard based on arbi-trary thresholds.

“This bill is poor public policy thatsells farmers and the public short, andwe hope it goes nowhere in Congress,”said MSGA President Kurt Krueger, aRothsay, Minn., farmer. “Farmers areproud of the contribution we are mak-ing to our nation’s energy independ-ence by producing corn and soybeansfor the nation’s growing renewable

fuels industry. We are giv-ing consumers an alterna-

tive to petroleum, whilecontinuing to meet domestic and inter-national demand for food and livestockfeed. Farmers have the technology andthe will to be reliable suppliers of qual-ity crops for all of our customers — foodcompanies, livestock producers, inter-national buyers and the Americanrenewable fuels industry.”

The bill that has many farmers, aswell as the nation’s renewable fuelsindustry, upset was introduced byReps. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., and JimCosta, D-Calif.

“Those against renewable fuelswould like people to believe biofuelsdivert grain away from the livestockindustry causing feed prices toincrease, andthat’s just nottrue,” Kruegersaid. “Productionof biodiesel fromsoybeans andother oils actuallyresults in produc-tion of more soy-beans, whichmeans more soy-bean meal for the livestock market.The bigger the demand from therenewable fuels industry, the moresoybeans we grow and the more soy-bean meal that is available for live-stock feed.”

Krueger added that the renewablefuels seem to be a target while subsi-dies for the petroleum industry con-tinue. “Biodiesel and ethanol seem likean easy target lately because of taxcredits they receive, but the petroleumindustry has been collecting subsidiesfor over a hundred years.”

The MSGA has played a leadershiprole in development of the renewablefuels industry because the organiza-

tion believes biofuels are an excellentoption for diversifying the nation’senergy portfolio and furthering energysecurity. Farmers in the organization

played a lead role inlaunching thenation’s biodieselindustry throughtheir work with theMinnesota legisla-ture in 2002 on thenation’s first legis-lation to create abiofuel blend indiesel fuel. “EPA

has just designated biodiesel as Amer-ica’s first advanced biofuel, and wewould hate to see our hard work forthe environment and energy independ-ence sidetracked by poor policy, suchas this bill introduced in Congress,”Krueger said.

•••This commentary was submitted by

the Minnesota Soybean Growers Asso-ciation, a non-profit, farmer-controlledmembership organization establishedin 1962. Its goal is to assure profitablesoybean farming by influencing favor-able ag legislation, monitoring govern-ment policies and supporting researchand market development activities.

NEW ULM, Minn.— Georg andPaula Marti and their family havespent the past month making daily vis-its to their vineyard and keeping intouch with 20 other Minnesota growerswho provide grapes for their MorganCreek Vineyards near New Ulm, Minn.

“It’s a busy time. The grapes have tobe picked just at the right time,” saidPaula Marti. “The crush crews willwork until early October. Crushing100,000 pounds of fruit is exhausting.”

The same scene is taking place nearJanesville, where Ray and Lisa Winterand their family have been harvestingand producing wine at Indian IslandWinery and Vineyard.

And near Kasota, Kent Schwickert’screw is harvesting the first grapes andmaking the first wines at theChankaska Creek Ranch & Winery,which opens next spring.

The three wineries and several newvineyards being started across theregion are part of a burgeoning wineindustry that is transforming tourismand entertainment offerings and bring-ing a new type of agriculture to cornand soybean country.

The three wineries will produce morethan 100,000 bottles of wine combined.

For all the rapid growth in the vine-yard and winery industry, it’s still in itsinfancy in southern Minnesota and thestate.

“We don’t see a saturation point. Lessthan 2 percent of the wine consumed inMinnesota is made in Minnesota,” saidRon Barnes, president of the Min-nesota Grape Growers Association.

“There’s really a huge potential forbecoming a much bigger industry.”Winery trails

“We will really be a mecca for south-ern Minnesota for those who like doingwine tours, wine tastings and seeingthat segment of the ag industry,” saidAnna Thill, head of the GreaterMankato (Minn.) Convention and Visi-tors Bureau.

A survey of visitors to Mankato thisyear found that 6 percent said they vis-ited a winery while they were here.“But when you asked people whatthey’d like to do if they returned here,that jumped to 35 percent who saidthey’d like to visit a winery,” Thill said.

She envisions more formal tours toarea wineries, including bus tours.

“I think Mankato will be the hub,where most people stay with thespokes going out to the different winer-ies.”

Tourists haven’t waited for formaltours to be put together.

“We already get a lot of people fromthe Cities just coming down on theirown,” Ray Winter said. “If there weretours available, they’d love to do itbecause they don’t have to drive.”

VINEYARDS, from pg. 12AThe key to growing tourism and a successful wine-

making industry, say winery owners, is maintainingquality.

“Minnesota is getting some reputation in the wineindustry,” Schwickert said. “These cold-hardy grapesthe University of Minnesota is developing are gettingattention from Minnesota all the way to New York.

“You put good winemakers in front of good fruit,you’ll get a reputation.”

When the Martis began their vineyard and wineryin the early ’90s — just the fifth winery in the stateat the time — they did it with an eye toward tourismand education.

“We have one of the most beautiful agriculturelandscapes in the state in this area, and we haven’tmarketed that enough.

“There’s just tons of future on showcasing the wineand food industry right here on the Bend of theRiver,” Paula Marti said.Chankaska Creek Ranch & Winery

Drew Horton opens the plug on an oak barrel andinvites a visitor to sniff.

“That’s French oak. Now smell this one, it’s Hun-garian oak.”

The wood scents are slightly different — scentsthat will provide subtle differences in flavor whenthe 300-bottle barrels are filled with wine to agefrom four to 16 months.

Horton, the winemaker at the new ChankaskaCreek Ranch & Winery, was brought on board latelast year by Schwickert and is producing the win-ery’s first wines this fall.

With 18 years in the California wine business, Hor-

ton has ambitious plans to make a variety of winesin traditional tanks and in the oak barrels.

He so far has 85 new and used oak barrels. “The

VINEYARDS, from pg. 13Anew oak produces a stronger flavor than the usedbarrels.” While French oak has long been used forblending wines, the winery also is using a variety ofAmerican oak barrels.

A longtime wine connoisseur, Schwickert andsome partners have spent the past few years build-ing a vineyard and winery off Highway 22 near St.Peter, Minn., that will be open for business nextspring.

After three years, the 3,900 vines on seven acresof rolling hillside at Chankaska Creek are produc-ing their first grapes and Horton is producing thefirst batches of wine.

The young plants produce less than mature vine-yards and a wet spring set production back fromwhat was expected, Schwickert said.

Their vineyard will cover about one-third of thewine production with grapes also purchased fromother Minnesota vineyards and some from Wash-ington and California.

Chankaska Creek plans to initially producenearly 40,000 bottles of wine — about what otherarea wineries make annually — and increase pro-duction in coming years.

A new production facility was built and a retailbuilding is being finished this fall, around the siteof the former Country Pub dinner club. The wineryis named for Chankaska Creek, which flows

The 7,500-square-foot winery building and retail storeis on top of a hill overlooking the farm site and creek.

“We’ve been focused on the building and grounds,shoreline restoration, constructing walking bridges,”Schwickert said of this past summer’s work.

The master plan for the 15-acre site includes a 10-acre vineyard, trail system, sculpture park,amphitheater and indoor and outdoor event spaces.

Chankaska Creek will focus on hosting festivals,community events, corporate events and weddings.Morgan Creek Vineyards

One of the founding wineries in the state, MorganCreek Vineyards has family ties that run far back inthe alcohol industry — Georg Marti comes from theSchell’s beer brewing family in New Ulm.

They still label themselves as a small family winery —producing about 36,000 bottles a year — but their impacthas been large on the industry. They have a long list ofawards for their wines;they produce private label wines forFire Lake Grill in Minneapolis;they’ve provided mentoringto a number of start-ups; and they are investor/owners inthe Minnesota State Fair wine exhibit,which for years hasbeen housed in a wing of the Horticulture building.

The fair exhibit — which provides tasting andglasses of wines for sale — has been so popular, theState Fair made an unprecedented offer consideringthere is a long list of people hoping to get any piece ofreal estate inside the fairgrounds. “The Fair Boardgave us the opportunity to buy a building there,which we are doing,” Marti said.

The building, formerly the Epiphany ChurchDiner, is in a prime location and directly across fromthe Agriculture building.Indian Island Winery

Ray Winter’s roots are in the vineyard business.He started a vineyard next to his farmhouse more

than a decade ago and has been one of the go-to guysfor those wanting to start their own vineyards.

The vineyard, now more than 13 acres, producesabout five tons of grapes per acre. The family alsosells nursery stock to other growers.

While vineyards are often planted in sandier soil,not black farmland, Winter planted his vineyards onhis prime farmland.

“We were worried about putting it on our best land,but I’m glad we did. Some disagree, but I think thebetter the land, the better they do. It’s like any crop,you have to feed your crop to get a quality crop.”

While beginning in the vineyard business, the Win-ter family got into the winery side of the business in a

big way two years ago when they constructed a largewinery and retail store nearby on a hill that was oncea summer hunting camp for Native Americans. Thefamily has found many artifacts over the years, andthe Indian theme flows through the artwork createdfor the wine bottle labels, on the menu (elk and buf-falo burgers) and in the decor.

The Indian Island wines have done well in competi-tions, including 12 medals won this year as well as win-ning the prestigious Governor’s Cup, a traveling trophy.

“Business has been really good. Weather affectsthings on the weekends, but we built a big buildingso when the weather’s not good, we can still get 150to 200 people inside,” Winter said.

Winter: Like any crop, better land makes better grapes

Farmers are gettingbetter at promotingtheir profession, bothto U.S. food consumersand customers in for-eign countries. Butmuch more needs tobe done, especially inview of the misrepresentation of U.S.agriculture by various activist groupssuch as the Humane Society of theUnited States, People for the EthicalTreatment of Animals, etc.

A new “power voice”on behalf of U.S.farmers is a nationalorganization calledthe U.S. Farmers &Ranchers Alliancewhich is rapidlybringing to the tableall members of U.S.agriculture including

all commodity groups, virtually allmajor agricultural manufacturing andmarketing companies, the farm pressand many ag advertising agencies. Thesingle mission: A unified voice onbehalf of agriculture being told to all

Americans.Brian Greenslit, a Renville County

(Minn.) farmer and USFRA boardmember, said, “you are entitled to youropinion, but you are not entitled tomisrepresent knowledge and science.”

Greenslit is also a board member ofthe Minnesota Soybean Research &Promotion Council and an energeticadvocate of farmers, speaking up onbehalf of their profession.

He admitted thesuspicion, even cyni-cism, about agricul-ture and U.S. farm-ers. “Agriculture islosing its face togroups that know lit-tle about farming andfood production. Yetthere is a growingconcern about foodhealth and food secu-rity. Consumers havea right to know abouttheir food sources.USFRA is now tellingthat story, and we asproducers should bepleased and proud ofthis great message.”

Greenslit shared his comments Sept.22 at the Cargill Building on the Uni-versity of Minnesota’s St. Paul cam-pus, where the university’s Agricul-tural Club plus the Minnesota CornGrowers Association, the MinnesotaSoybean Research & Promotion Coun-

cil, the Minnesota Pork Board and theMinnesota Farm Bureau hosted a“USFRA Food Dialogues ViewingParty.” In addition to local speakers,the agenda also included viewing anational panel discussion taking place“live” in Washington, D.C.More awareness of food safety

Karen Richter, a Montgomery, Minn.,pork producer, former president of theMinnesota Pork Board and currentboard member of the National Pork

Board, said, “I thinkthere is much moreawareness today by vir-tually all consumersabout food safetybecause there are somany activist groups,Hollywood celebritiesand others. The speed ofinformation — both cor-rect and incorrect infor-mation — gets out therevirtually instantly any-more via Facebook, Twit-ter, YouTube, Google, etc.

“When I was a kid food‘recalls’ were virtuallynon-existent. Today afood recall is instantly in

the face of everyone. And that is as itshould be. We have more recalls todaybecause our food testing methods aremuch more advanced. But invariablythese recalls tarnish much of agricul-ture when often just a single source is

MESSAGE, from pg. 16Athe culprit. Yet today we have thesafest food supply in the world, andalso the most affordable,” Richtersaid.

“Unfortunately consumers don’twant to hear about the science andthe technology used by America’sfarmers. Instead we have become anemotion and ‘opinion-based’ society.Sound bites juice up the consumer;facts and data are simply fluff.”

Duane Alberts, Minnesota FarmBureau vice president and PineIsland-area dairy farmer, added: “rec-ognizing that our customers are No. 1in providing for our livelihood needsto become more the focus of us farm-ers. We’re very good at producing, butour concerns should go beyond ourfarm gate because ultimately the cus-tomer is always right.”

Julie Tesch, Minnesota AgriculturalEducation Leadership Council execu-

tive director, mentioned the positiveresponse the past two years generatedby Ag Awareness Day on the U of MMinneapolis campus. “Today’s Univer-sity students are genuinely interestedin their food. And they seem to have agrowing awareness of starvation andfood shortages in various parts of theworld. This seems to be sparking someinterest in Minnesota agriculture. Yes,there is tremendous misunderstand-ing and ignorance about this businessof farming.

“That’s why we constantly remindour ag ed students, in fact all studentson the St. Paul campus, the impor-tance of being ‘teachers’ every day, notjust during their working hours in theclassroom. Sometimes the best ideasfor teaching come from disagreementsfrom other students.”Value-added industry

State Sen. Doug Magnus remindedthe audience that Minnesota agricul-ture is indeed big business generating

over $16 billion in revenues this pastyear and a No. 6 ranking among allstates. “This has more than doubled inthe past eight years. We’re also nowdoing over $6 billion in agriculturalexports to countries around the world.In fact, just the export value of Min-nesota soybeans today equals the totalvalue of the entire crop 10 years ago.

“In our state legislature I like toemphasize our Triple E focus: exports,environment and energy. At the fed-eral level, I’m of the opinion that theEnvironmental Protection Agency iscausing undue consternation dictatingwhat we should be doing without evenasking.”

Magnus feels the future of energywill be heavily tied to agriculture. “Ilook upon water as the ‘new oil’ of theMidwest because there’s little doubt inmy mind that water more and more isbecoming a limiting factor in much ofour country’s production agriculture.

“We’ve just simply have got toembrace technology. Our agriculturefuture is very bright filled with bothgreat challenges and great opportuni-ties.”

Al Juhnke, aide to Sen. Al Frankenand former chairman of the MinnesotaHouse of Representatives agriculturecommittee, said, “it’s important thatwe keep reminding our people of thevalue of agriculture in this state. Oneof every five jobs in the entire statestems from agriculture. Minnesota isrich because of three tremendousindustries: agriculture, timber andmining. Note that all three are prod-ucts of the land. Our land is our great-est resource.

“In D.C. high on the agenda of Sen.Franken and many others is draftingof the next farm bill. We need to keepreminding others that the farm bill isless than one-tenth of 1 percent of thefederal budget and 74 percent of ourfarm bill currently is dedicated toschool lunch programs and othernutrition concerns. Only 18 percent ofthat total budget is earmarked forcommodity programs, crop insuranceand conservation. And that leaves amiserly 8 percent for research andrural development across America. Yetresearch is absolutely critical to thefuture of America and much of theworld.”

He noted that President Obama’s“Committee of 12” which by Dec. 13 issupposed to have the answer to thenation’s debt and revenue problems ismostly a committee of non-farm peo-ple.

Don Baloun, Natural Resources Con-servation Service state conservation-ist, pointed out that the NRCS is theonly U.S. Department of Agricultureagency that works with private landowners saying the EnvironmentalQuality Improvement Program contin-ues to be a major success of farmersupgrading the overall efficiencies oftheir farming operations. Plus becauseof the growing popularity of locallyproduced foods, organic farming is nolonger a niche market in Minnesota.Agriculture important to retailers’ success

See MESSAGE, pg. 19A

MESSAGE, from pg. 18AWalmart as now the No. 1 food retailer in America. “Andif Walmart comes to your farm and asks if you can meettheir demands on producing certain food items, it reallywon’t matter what the USDA and other federal agencystandards are. Like it or not, the real marketing powerof U.S. agriculture is rapidly moving into the hands ofWalmart,Target and other major retailers who’ve addedfood to their product lineup.”

Tres Bailey, Walmart representative on the livefeed from WashingtonD. C., said, “the liveli-hood of U.S. farmershas become key in ourtotal business matrix.Our tag line reads‘Save Money, LiveBetter’. There is nosingle supplier, be itChina orelsewherethat canbest provideour needs.That’s whya healthy,thrivingU.S. agri-culture is important to our success in the food indus-try.”

Bob Stallman, American Farm Bureau Federationpresident, also commenting from the D.C. feed said,“as robust as American agriculture has become inrecent years, even more and better research is thekey for feeding the world in the next years. In Amer-ica 90 billion pounds of food are wasted each year.

“There needs to be more transparency in govern-ment. It’s happening in agriculture. But the questioncontinues ‘How much do consumers want to know, orneed to know?’ Food security has rapidly becomemore important to the world than energy security.Consumers are willing to pay $30,000 to $40,000 ormore for a new auto with all the whistles and gadg-ets. But they aren’t willing to pay more for food,regardless the technology and nutritional science

behind that production.”According to Stallman, 25,000 people die daily

because of lack of food. By 2050, nearly 3 billionmore people will be populating this earth.

Juhnke said there are about 1 billion acres of idle

cropland around the world so perhaps part of the mis-sion of U.S. agriculture and Congress is to assist inimproving production systems in other parts of theworld. He noted that over the past 10 years $3.4 billionhas been spent to counteract food insurgency efforts.

Neil Anderson hasbeen involved in thebuilding movingbusiness for 10years. That’s nothingout of the ordinary,until you realize thathe was 12 when hegot started.

Now, Anderson is established in thePaynesville, Minn.,-area with a six-man crew. He used to farm part-timewith his dad and uncle, as well asplaying in a band in his earlier life.

He grew up on a Polk County dairyfarm near Glenwood, Minn., and cred-its his start in the building movingbusiness to an uncle who did housemaintenance work and also moved afew garages.

“He’s a carpenter and a dry-wallguy. He’d hear about a single-cargarage being available when remodel-

ing a house. He didn’t have any equip-ment but he knew we had a low-boymachinery trailer. He’d ask me to bringthe trailer to this garage location. Hehad the jacks and just like that I wassuddenly in the moving business help-ing my uncle,” said Anderson, whoadmits he was a “big” 12-year oldstanding 5 feet 8 inches and weighing165 pounds. He started driving tractorwhen he was 8.

Going through high school, Andersonwas frequently helping his uncle KenJorgenson move some buildings, usu-ally old garages that Uncle Ken wouldpick up for $100, do some fixing up onthem, and resell for quite a few morebucks.

“So this was good experience for me.I was making a few bucks while inhigh school. My parents said that if Iwanted to go to college, I had to earnthe money. I planned on studyingarchitecture at the University of Min-nesota but when I walked the campus,

sometimes in tunnels leading from onebuilding to another, I said to myself,‘this is ridiculous. I don’t want to livein the city’,” herecalled.

Instead he went tothe vocational collegein Alexandria, Minn.,taking a two-year car-pentry course. That ledhim into starting hisown remodeling busi-ness, plus back to part-time work on his par-ents’ farm. Meanwhile,Anderson had a spe-cial hankering formusic and startedwriting music plusputting together hisown band.

“So when I was 20years old I was start-ing a construction business plus aband. Yes, that was a bit overwhelm-ing, especially since I was still helpingon our farm (about 2,500 acres) alsoplus our 80-cow dairy. It was sort ofcrazy so in late-2001 I decided to moveto Paynesville and do my own thing,”Anderson said.

The band business was clicking.

They were doing 100 events per yearincluding some State Fair events likethe Arabian Horse Show, the Depart-

ment of NaturalResources stage, plusnumerous county fairs.

The busy band busi-ness clearly told Ander-son he couldn’t hold aregular job. He neededthe flexibility to leave ona Thursday afternoon, forexample, to set up for aweekend wedding event,or a street dance, or acounty fair. “Just maybegetting into the buildingbusiness was theanswer,” he said.

Paging through a news-paper he spotted an itemthat read: Give AwayFree, Single Car Garage.

“I called the guy up. I drove up to SaukCentre (Minn.) to look at the garage.He told me I had three weeks to get itout. So I put an ad back in that samepaper reading ‘Single Car Garage,$1,300’. I had a call right away so nowI borrowed my Granddad’s Donohueflatbed trailer, got some railroad ties

A new series of grants from the University ofMinnesota’s Healthy Foods, Healthy Lives Insti-tute is aimed at helping people who live in disadvan-taged communities eat healthier, safer diets.

The grants, which are for about $50,000 each,include:

• Developing on-farm safe food handling practices forimmigrant farmers in the Twin Cities who grow and sellfresh produce and traditional crops at local farmersmarkets. The project also includes training for farmers.The project is led by leaders from the Farmers LegalAction Group as well as the Association for the Advance-ment of Hmong Women in Minnesota, and U of M agri-cultural health and safety program leaders.

• Assessing and creating a plan for a Native Ameri-can-owned grocery store and deli in Lake Andes,South Dakota, on the Yankton reservation.Researchers will study the economic viability of abusiness focused on healthy food as well as determinehow local agencies and community members canwork together to promote healthy nutrition. BraveHeart Society, based on the reservation, and scien-tists from the U of M’s College of Food, Agriculturaland Natural Resource Sciences and Medical Schoolare the project leaders.

• Creating an integrated Anishaabe curriculum atthe intersections of culture, history, economics andhealth with native food practices, including garden-ing, farming and forestry. The project is led by leadersat the White Earth reservation in northern Min-nesota and the University of Minnesota, Morris. NewCurriculum models will be tested at the Morris cam-pus in summer 2012.

• Addressing the obesity epidemic in communities

of color by creating a sustainable intervention modelthat can be used by the North Minneapolis KwanzaaChurch community. Forty families will be involved ina six-month campaign to increase healthy eating

and exercise through the existing church communitynetwork. The project leaders include North PointHealth and Wellness Center physicians and the U ofM’s School of Public Health.

A series of activities for fathers to help them bemore involved in growing, preparing and shoppingfor healthy food with their children — through visit-ing farmers markets and community gardens, plan-ning menus and using safe food preparation tech-niques. The project involves Southside CommunityHealth Services in Minneapolis as well as specialistsfrom University of Minnesota Extension.

MOVER, from pg. 20Afor cross stringers, handy man jacksto lift it. That’s how I got into the pro-fessional building moving business,”he said.

He related that he soon had 50 to 60names of people calling him askingabout particular buildings to buy andmove. After moving to Paynesvilleand buying a “fixer-up” house, he andhis wife started attending an Assem-bly of God church in nearby ColdSpring.

“I met some fantastic people at thischurch. I told them I was a musicianwith my own band plus I moved build-ings. Soon these people were tellingme of friends, or relatives who wanteda building moved. So just through thisnetwork of people that I met atchurch, my building business really

picked up momentum.“I thought to myself, ‘If God gives me

the opportunity to bid a job, he’s cer-tainly going to give me the wisdom ofhow to bid a job. And if I get the job,he’s certainly going to give me themeans to do it,” Anderson said.

That faith continues to work in hislife. He said his first garage was 12-feet by 20 feet and “it scared me todeath. I moved it at night (less trafficto contend with); I hoped it wouldn’tfall off the trailer. This year we moveda 60-foot by 120-foot machine shed.That required 100-foot beams becausethis structure contained about threesemi-loads of steel framing.”

What’s the longest-distance move sofar? About 330 miles for a cabin movedfrom Paynesville to Greenbush, Minn.,(15 miles from the Canadian border).

Owned by a local doctor on a nearbylake, this cabin measured only 20-feetwide and 32-feet long. Anything over16 feet wide requires a permit and thatmeans being a licensed buildingmover. To get a license to move a build-ing you have to also buy insurance tocover any potential damage claims,etc.

Anderson still has all his band equip-ment of speakers, lighting, etc., andstill does gather his musicians to do afew special events each year. A barn onhis property houses all his musicalgear. This fall a local church was usinghis barn for a special service.

How’s the building-moving business?Perhaps the best appraisal is Ander-son’s comment that he regularly turnsdown opportunities to move buildings.His best advertising vehicle these daysis his own website: www.anderson-buildingmovers.com. “We get 60 to 70hits a day, from all over Minnesotaplus surrounding states,” he said.

According to Anderson, there wereabout 70 licensed building movers inMinnesota in 2002 and today about 50.Of those 50, he estimates only about 20to 25 are capable of doing big projects.Currently about 50 percent of his workis agricultural buildings and becauseof the strong farm economy, he’s doingquite a few upgrading of older machinesheds.

“Built in the 1960s, or ’70s with 12-foot sidewalls, we’re jacking thesesheds up to 16 feet or 18 feet to simplyhandle the much bigger equipment oftoday.”

Can a job be too big? He simply saidthat he had never turned down a proj-ect because it is too big. His profes-sional tactic on something that mightbe too big is to bid it high and take theturndown. He and wife, Ashlee, havetwins, Prairie and Piper, 4 1/2 yearsold, Jorgen, 3, and Ryker, 1.

This column was writtenfor the marketing week end-ing Oct. 7.

The slippage in dairyproduct prices took abreather the first week ofOctober and rallied some,but crystal balls are prettycloudy — or should I say“milky” — right now.

The 40-pound Cheddarblocks closed Oct. 7 at$1.7650 per pound, up 4.5cents on the week, but a half centbelow that week a year ago and wasthe first move up in 10 weeks. The 500-pound barrels closed at $1.7850, up14.5 cents, a nickel above a year agoand 2 cents above the blocks.

Thirteen cars of block and 17 of bar-rel found new homes on the week. Thelagging National Agricultural Statis-tics Service-surveyed U.S. averageblock price fell 4.2 cents, to $1.7589,while the barrels also lost 4.2 cents,and slipped to $1.7276.

Cheese prices could dip to $1.50,warned Jerry Dryer in his Sept. 30 Dairy& Food Market Analyst, however “otherssay the order flow is gaining momentumand buyers and end-users are comfort-able owning cheese at $1.65.”

F.C. Stone dairy broker Dave Kurza-wski in his Oct. 6 eDairy Insider Open-ing Bell attributed the gains in cheeseprices this week to the beginning ofholiday buying, reporting that the U.S.Department of Agriculture’s weeklystocks report showed a 0.8 percentdecline, compared with the previousweek, but are 3.8 percent above a yearago.

Bill Brooks, eDairy economist, said,“with consumers and businesses stillfretting about recent economic weak-ness and Europe’s debt problem, holi-day demand might not be as buoyantas originally anticipated,” adding that

“back-to-school sales, whichtypically reflect holidaysales, were not good.”

■

Cash butter inched a quar-ter-cent lower Wednesday,after holding steady for sixsessions, then gained a pennyand a quarter on Thursday,and closed Friday at $1.77,up a penny and a half on theweek, but 41.5 cents below ayear ago and reversed five

weeks of decline. Only one car was soldthis week. NASS butter averaged$1.8084, down 8.3 cents.

Holiday buying for Thanksgiving andChristmas may be providing the lift butbutter export potential is “somewherebetween zero and nothing,” Dryer said.“Lower prices on offer in the world mar-ket, many still not being reported, pre-clude the United States from sellingmuch and, in fact, butter imports are onthe horizon.” He adds the caveat thatone source says “All is not lost, therewill be some meaningful butter exportsbefore year-end and into first quarter2012,” but most other sources disagree.

Cash nonfat dry milk was unchangedwith Grade A holding at $1.49 andExtra Grade at $1.58. NASS powderaveraged $1.5164, down 2.5 cents. Drywhey averaged 60.55 cents, up a halfcent. The whey market remains strong.

■

Looking “back to the futures,” com-bined with the announced Class IIIprices, the federal order Class III con-tract’s average for the last half of 2011was at $19.63 on Sept. 2; $19.36 onSept. 9; $19.49 on Sept. 16; $19.21 onSept. 23; $18.72 on Sept. 29; and wasclose to $19.07 just before the spotmarket traded on Oct. 7.

Crystal balls are cloudy;uncertainty is certain

MIELKE MARKETWEEKLY

By Lee Mielke

MIELKE, from pg. 23Ation index slipped for the ninth con-secutive session. U.S. skim milk pow-der for November delivery traded atan average $1.40 per pound while itsaw a weighted average of $1.45, down0.3 percent from the Sept. 20 auction,and the lowest price since December,according to the Chicago MercantileExchange’s Daily Dairy Report. Anhy-drous milk fat averaged $1.68/lb.,down 3.5 percent, and whole milk

powder was $1.50/lb., down 0.7 percent.Cheddar cheese for industrial use

received an average winning bid of$1.72/lb., down 4.9 percent. The trade-weighted average price for all productswas down 1.6 percent from the previousevent, according to the DDR.

■

New Zealand had a great flush,according to DDR editor Al Levitt in aninterview at this week’s World Dairy

Expo. There have been record levelsand there were even reports of somedelays in pickups as plants struggled toprocess the milk, he said.

“Buyers look at that and don’t have asense of panic that they need to buy asaggressively,” he said, adding there’sconcern over the global financial situa-tion. “People don’t want to carry a lot ofinventory now; they don’t want to takethe risk so that causes a little bit ofpush back on the buying side as well.”I’ll report more on U.S. dairy exportsnext week from our interview at theExpo with Margaret Speich of the U.S.Dairy Export Council.

Levitt also reported in his DDR thatmassive volumes of milk went into but-ter/powder in August. Butter produc-tion hit 133 million pounds, down 1.6percent from July, but a whopping 31percent above a year ago, according tothe USDA’s latest Dairy Productsreport. Year-to-date output is up 16.1percent.

Nonfat dry milk and SMP amountedto 152.1 million pounds, up 13.1 per-cent from a year ago. However, demandfrom domestic and overseas customershas prevented powder inventories frombuilding, according to the DDR.

American-type cheese productiontotaled 347 million pounds, down 0.9percent from July, and 1 percent belowa year ago. Italian-type cheese totaled364 million pounds, up 0.6 percent fromJuly, but 0.2 percent below a year ago.

Total cheese output amounted to 868million pounds, up 1.5 percent fromJuly, but 0.3 percent below August 2010.

■

Pricewise, California’s September 4bcheese milk price was announced at$16.33 per hundredweight, down $2.27from August but 85 cents above Sep-tember 2010, and $2.74 below the com-parable federal order Class III price.

The 4a butter-powder price is $19.29,down 94 cents from August, and $2.68above a year ago. The prices reflectchanges made to the pricing formulas asa result of the June 30-July 1 hearing,according to the DDR, which said the newformulas added 40 cents to the 4b price,but removed 16 cents from the 4a price.

Milk production is lower in Floridaand mostly steady to occasionallyhigher through the rest of the country,according the USDA’s weekly update.Class I interest is fairly steady thoughsome bottlers anticipate retail promo-tions may be more widespread in Octo-ber due to lower Class I prices.

Seasonal increases in the butterfat

test and the higher Class I use withschools in session generated largercream volumes. Cream interest islighter and most offerings are headingto churns or cream cheese as ice creamproduction is mostly lighter seasonallyand other Class II product interest ismainly steady.

■

Milk production in Western Europe ismaintaining a level that is higher thanlast year at this time. Many milk han-dlers and producers attribute theextended production season to favorableweather for early fall. Reports indicatethat milk production for the first sevenmonths of 2011 was up 2.2 percent fromthe comparable months in 2010, althoughduring the period of April to July, milkoutput was only up 1.8 percent.

Milk production in the Oceaniaregion continues to increase seasonally.The New Zealand season got off to astrong start and indications are thatmilk volumes are running heavier thanlast year at this time. Milk producersand handlers are stating that the mid-August snowstorm that blanketedmuch of New Zealand had limited neg-ative impact on the development orstart of the new season.

Australian milk volumes are increas-ing on a steady basis and milk outputis projected to peak by the later part ofOctober, according to the USDA.

■

In politics, the International DairyFoods Association launched a televisionand print campaign to educate con-sumers about what it calls “the negativeeconomic impact of the Federal MilkMarketing Order system, a set of regu-lations that gives the federal govern-ment control over setting milk prices.”

“It’s time consumers learned that theprice of their milk is being artificiallyinflated by a maze of government regu-lations,” said Connie Tipton, IDFA pres-ident and CEO. “Our campaign is aboutencouraging consumers to tell big gov-ernment to get out of their milk.”

The commercial, which calls for theelimination of the current pricing sys-tem, shows a tiny government bureau-crat enjoying a swim in a glass of milk,much to the dismay of the woman aboutto drink it. The voiceover states: “Itseems like the government is everywherethese days, including in your milk.”

An IDFA press release said “In 1937,the federal government created a hugebureaucracy to establish and enforcemilk prices. This maze of regulations

MIELKE, from pg. 24Aand government red tape still exists and it’s costingyou every time you buy milk for your family. Don’t youthink it’s time for big government to get out of yourmilk?” Details are posted at www.outofmymilk.com.

The IDFA also praised legislation submitted byPresident Obama that would allow for implementa-tion of the pending free trade agreements withSouth Korea, Colombia and Panama and urged Con-gress to pass the agreements quickly.

“We’re pleased the administration recognized theextreme importance of these trade agreements to theU.S. economy, and we now urge swift passage in Con-gress,” Tipton said. “The pact with South Korea is par-ticularly important because it would reduce tariffs andexpand market opportunities in a high-value marketand add 10,000 or more additional U.S. jobs through-out the dairy supply chain.”

South Korea is the U.S. sixth-largest dairy exportmarket, representing $145 million in exports year todate, according to the IDFA, and nearly double thevalue of exports during the same time period lastyear. U.S. International Trade Commission estimatessay full implementation of the agreement with SouthKorea would increase U.S. dairy exports by as muchas $336 million a year and the Panama and Colombiaagreements are expected to produce gains of an addi-tional $25 million each in exports per year.

Meanwhile, Sen. Dick Lugar, R-Ind., introduced afarm bill proposal this week that includes dairy policyreforms advocated by the National Milk ProducersFederation. Lugar, a former chairman of the Senateag committee, and Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-Ind., afreshman member of the House ag committee, havejointly introduced a bill they call the Rural EconomicFarm and Ranch Sustainability and Hunger Act. Thebill would reduce farm program spending by $16 bil-lion, and save a total of $40 billion compared to cur-rent policy, according to an NMPF press release.

The legislation includes the key elements of theDairy Security Act of 2011, which was introduced inthe House as HR 3062 by Reps. Collin Peterson, D-Minn., and Mike Simpson, R-Ind., and is modeledafter reforms first proposed by the NMPF.

Ag cuts coming

The University of Minnesota Collegeof Veterinary Medicine, in collabora-tion with veterinary schools at the Uni-versity of Illinois, University of Geor-gia and Kansas State University, hasreceived a grant for $700,000 todevelop and implement a NationalCenter of Excellence in Dairy Produc-tion Medicine Education for Veterinari-ans. The funding was awarded throughthe U.S. Department of Agriculture’sNational Institute of Food and Agricul-ture to be shared by the four partner-ing Universities.

“This grant provides a very excitingopportunity to bring educators and vet-erinary students together for enhancedproduction medicinetraining that wouldnot be possible at asingle institution,”said John Fetrow,professor of dairyproduction medicine,and director of thecenter.

The money will beused to create a“Center of Excel-lence” as authorizedin the 2008 federalagricultural appro-priations bill. Thisnational Center of Excellence willserve veterinary students from thefour cooperating universities and func-tion as a template for future centers.

The center will address the ongoingcritical need for enhanced educationfor food animal medicine as the fouruniversities develop and deliver ahighly specialized and intensive seriesof training rotations for senior veteri-nary students pursuing careers indairy veterinary medicine.

The $700,000 grant is part of theHigher Education Challenge GrantsProgram, which makes awards basedon how well programs address local,regional, national or international edu-cational needs, whether they involvenontraditional or creative approachesthat can serve as a model, and whetherthey encourage cooperation among uni-versities and between academia andprivate business.

“As our nation’s animal productionsystems change, veterinarians needenhanced and broader education so theycan serve those industries and promote

safe and wholesome food productionand animal welfare,” Fetrow said.

The four universities involved in theNational Center of Excellence in DairyProduction Medicine Education forVeterinarians will also partner withthe private sector through the Univer-sity of Minnesota’s Dairy EducationCenter. Through an affiliation withDavis Family Dairies LLC, and its sis-ter company Davisco Foods Interna-tional, the University of Minnesota hasaccess to two state-of-the-art privatedairy facilities with a combined total of7,000 milk cows. Davis Family Dairiesowns and operates the facilities whilethe University of Minnesota College of

Veterinary Medi-cine provideshealth care tothe herds as partof its teachingprogram for stu-dents interestedin careers indairy medicine.

Students fromall four universi-ties will live atthe Dairy Educa-tion Center dur-ing four two-week clinical

rotations that focus on dairy healthmanagement, production systems, foodsafety and food system security.

“This project offers veterinary stu-dents interested in serving the dairyfood system a unique opportunity foradvanced training in a new and morecost-effective way,” said Trevor Ames,dean of the College of Veterinary Medi-cine. “Students trained in the programwill graduate with significantlyenhanced skills in dairy veterinarymedicine, which will enrich their abilityto serve dairy clients and succeed asdairy food system veterinarians.

ESSAGE >>

By SARAH JOHNSONThe Land Correspondent

Did you know the CIA is highlyinterested in your kitchen?

Not the CIA of Washington, D.C.,and Hollywood. The Culinary Insti-tute of America brings world cuisineto these American shores with titlessuch as “Spain and the World Table,” acoffee-table-worthy cookbook withrecipes an average Joe can actuallyaspire to. Its big, bold photographscontrast nicely with the simplicity ofthe ingredients and instructions. Ifyou love garlic, olive oil and Mediter-ranean spices, this book’s for you.

Get the “exotic” flavors of Spain fromyour own garden and spice rack by com-bining old favorites in new ways. In Mor-roccan-inspired Seven Vegetable Soup, ten-der chickpeas, squash, rutabagas, Swisschard and zucchini swim with apple,cumin and cinnamon. It’s savory but a lit-tle sweet; using vegetable stock makes itvegetarian. Our family used some end-of-

season produce to make a double batch andthrew in a couple of extra veggies. Four outof four yums from the Johnson clan!Seven Vegetable SoupServes 8

2/3 cup chickpeas, soaked overnightand drained

5 cups chopped onions6 cups beef broth or vegetable stock8 cups large-diced, peeled butternut

squash1 turnip or rutabaga, cut into

wedges about 1/4 inch by 1 inch1 teaspoon ground cumin1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon2 1/2 teaspoons salt, or more as

needed3 medium zucchini, diced small2 cups large-diced apples, quinces or

pears1 bunch Swiss chard, greens only,

cut into 1/2-inch strips (6 cups)1 teaspoon freshly ground black pep-

per2 tablespoons sugar

Combine the chickpeas, onions andbeef broth or vegetable stock in a largestockpot and bring to a boil overmedium-high heat. Reduce the heat tolow and simmer until the chickpeas arejust tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes.

Stir in the butternut squash andturnip or rutabaga with the cumin, cin-namon and 2 teaspoons of the salt, andsimmer until almost tender, about 10minutes. Stir in the zucchini and apples,quinces or pears, and simmer for 5 moreminutes, or until almost tender. Stir inthe chard and simmer for another 5 min-utes, or until the chard is tender.

Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, thepepper and sugar, more or less to taste,and serve.

■

In Spain, the joke goes,garlic is not a sea-soning, it’s a vegetable. Garlic Potatoes andShrimp in Garlic prove that you really

can’t put too much garlic in anything.Note the author’s instruction to cook thegarlic “just until it starts to brown” inboth recipes; this is a good tip for anyhome chef.And remember, if everyone eatsgarlic, no one has garlic breath.Garlic PotatoesServes 8

6 medium thin-skinned potatoes,preferably Kennebec, scrubbed andcut into 1-inch cubes

4 teaspoons salt, divided use3 tablespoons sunflower or canola

oil1/2 cup finely sliced garlic6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil3/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black

pepper8 cups canola oil, or enough to fill

the pan 3 inchesPlace the potatoes, 6 quarts of cold water

and 2 teaspoons of salt in a large saucepan.Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce theheat to medium-low, and simmer for 12 to15 minutes, or until about half cooked —just tender but still very firm.

Heat the sunflower or canola oil overmedium heat in medium sauté panand add the garlic. Cook the garlic,stirring, until just begins to brown, 2 to3 minutes. Remove from the heat andimmediately add the olive oil, red pep-

See COOKBOOK, pg. 29A

COOKBOOK, from pg. 28Aper, parsley, black pepper and 1 1/2 teaspoons of thesalt. Stir together and keep in warm oven or on verylow heat, taking care not to cook the garlic any further.

Heat 3 inches of oil over medium-high heat in a deep,medium-sized skillet to 350 F. Fry the potatoes untilgolden brown and crisp, 13 to 15 minutes. Remove fromthe heat, drain on a rack, then place in a mixing bowl. Stirin the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Finally, add the garlicsauce and gently toss together. Serve immediately.Shrimp in GarlicServes 8

6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes10 garlic cloves, sliced very thin16 shrimp (26 to 30 count), peeled and deveined2 teaspoons salt, divided use1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper10 tablespoons white wine or lemon juice1/4 cup roughly chopped flat-leaf parsleyHeat the oil in a very large sauce pan over medium-

high heat. Sauté the pepper flakes and garlic for aminute, then add the shrimp and sauté for another 1 to2 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of pepper.Quickly take the shrimp out of the pan with a slottedspoon when they are just cooked through. Remove thefried garlic just as it starts to brown and set aside.

Add the white wine or lemon juice to the pan (keeping theheat at medium high), and reduce by three-quarters, shak-ing the pan frequently to emulsify the sauce, 4 to 5 minutes.

Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of pepper.Finishthe sauce with the chopped parsley. Place the shrimp on aplatter and spoon the sauce and fried garlic over the shrimp.

■Mushroom lovers will flip over these hearty bites

stuffed with ham, chorizo sausage, fresh herbs, bread-crumbs and cheese. Chorizo is available in most grocerystores these days; it’s spicy and aromatic and reallyadds the “bang” to this recipe. Mushrooms (fungi) are ina rather mysterious biological category by themselves;while they’re certainly not animals, they’re closer to usmammals on the evolutionary scale than they are toplants. Think about that while you’re munching.Chorizo Stuffed MushroomsServes 8

24 large white button or cremini mushrooms, wipedclean with a damp towel or brush

6 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil,divided use

6 tablespoons butter, plus extra melted butter forbasting as needed

3/4 cup finely chopped onions2 tablespoons minced garlic1/2 cup minced Serrano ham1/2 cup dry-cured chopped chorizo sausage1/4 cup chopped parsley, thyme, marjoram, or a com-

bination of these1/2 cup toasted breadcrumbs1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or as needed2 tablespoons grated Manchego or Parmesan cheese

(optional)Remove the stems from the mushrooms and chop

them finely. Reserve the caps and 1 to 1 1/3 cups of thechopped stems separately. Heat 6 tablespoons of theolive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heatand brown the mushroom caps, about 8 minutes, turn-ing halfway through. Set aside.

Melt the butter in a small sauce pan over medium heatand cook the onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add thegarlic and the mushroom stems and cook until the stemshave wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the ham and thechorizo and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightlybrowned. Stir in the herbs and breadcrumbs. Season totaste with 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Remember that theham will give off more salt as it heats.

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Grease a 13x9x2-inch bak-

ing dish with about 1 teaspoon of oil or butter. Spoon ascant tablespoon of the mixture into each of the mush-room caps. Place in the baking dish and bake in thepreheated oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown,basting with a little melted butter, if desired. Sprinkleeach cap with 1/4 teaspoon of grated cheese, if using.Serve hot or warm.

Family friend Isaiah’s favorite times tovisit our farm are during planting andharvest.

At 6 years of age he knows more aboutfarming than our three adult daughtersput together. Whenever possible he’s rid-ing in the buddy seat with Mike or hisdad, asking questions and soaking it all inso he can put it into practice in his small-scale farm operation located on the livingroom floor. Mason jars serve as bins, pop-corn kernels are his corn harvest, and thelines in the carpet clearly mark the croprows.

In June he spent the morning riding with Mike’sdad, Mel, when my doorbell rang. It was Isaiah and“Grandpa.” Isaiah asked, “Can I go to Grandpa andGrandma’s house for lunch?” I gave permission andhe rejoiced.

On the way to Grandpa’s pickup Isaiah looked upat him and said, “Well, that sure was a happy end-ing to that story!”

No matter what your age, happy endings are athing to celebrate. Look no further than the sympa-thy and encouragement card aisles at Hallmark torealize that’s not how every chapter in our storyreads. Some pages in life run parallel to A.A. Milne’sEeyore in, “The Complete Tales of Winnie-the-Pooh”.

“Eeyore, the old gray Donkey, stood by the side ofthe stream, and looked at himself in the water.

“‘Pathetic,’ he said. ‘That’s what it is.Pathetic.’

“He turned and walked slowly downthe stream for 20 yards, splashed acrossit, and walked slowly back on the otherside. Then he looked at himself in thewater again.

“‘As I thought,’ he said. ‘No better fromthis side. Pathetic, that’s what it is.’”

I don’t know about you, but there aresome situations that are Eeyore depress-ing no matter what side of the proverbialstream or fence you’re standing on.

“Choose joy,” I tell my children and preach to myself.That works most times in my spirit, but it’s no cure-all.

Some hurts cut too deep for catchphrases. If youflippantly tell someone to “Be happy!” when they’rein the pit of heartache or disappointment it’s likestamping a smiley face on a failed test or having adoctor throw confetti as she tells you the cancer hasreturned. It’s foolish to apply frivolous, lightheartedbalms to deep pain. Proverbs 25:20 puts it this way,Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day, orlike vinegar poured on soda, is one who sings songsto a heavy heart.

In her New York Times Bestseller book, “One Thou-sand Gifts — A Dare to Live Fully Right Where YouAre,” Ann Voskamp offers a simple and effective rem-edy to the pages of our story that include death, dis-aster and disappointment too deep for words. She

beautifully shares a word that we can live and die by— Eucharisteo: a lifestyle of thanksgiving. In her pitof heartache, a friend challenged her to write a list of1,000 things she was thankful for. Not of things shewanted or things that she hoped for, but of thingsshe has in the present — the gifts that are a part ofher here and now.

So she began.• Morning shadows across the old floors.• Jam piled high on the toast.• Cry of a blue jay from high in the spruce.And she continues. Her ongoing list of blessings

and inspiring thoughts can be found at aholyexperi-ence.com. To her delight she discovered and shares,“Do not disdain the small. The whole of the life —even the hard — is made up of the minute parts, andif I miss the infinitesimals, I miss the whole. (Whenwe choose) to give thanks in this one small thing themoments will add up.”

To live eucharisteo is a life-transforming choice.The grace in the middle of the gratitude is that joyfollows. It’s not a manufactured happiness or aphony smile. It’s pure, unadulterated joy that natu-rally flows from a thankful heart.

There is a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a timeto mourn, and a time to dance (Ecclesiastes 3:4). Andwhen is it a time to give thanks? The Bible providesthat answer as well: In all circumstances (1 Thessa-lonians 5:18).

May eucharisteo be the song of our hearts at alltimes and in all places.

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondents Tim King (story) and Jan King (photo)

Subtle craftsmanship

Do you have a Back Roads story suggestion? E-mail [email protected] or write to Editor, The Land, P.O. Box 3169, Mankato, MN 56002.

Mark Norgren, of Reality Roasters in Little Falls, is put-ting together a 300-pound batch of dark roasted coffee

for a church group. He measures out five-pound lots of palegreen coffee beans from a 60-pound burlap bag.

When his roastersignals that the tem-perature of the rotat-ing drum is 450degrees Fahrenheit,the beans drop with arattle from a hopperinto the drum. Theheavy steel drum inNorgren’s German-made roaster isheated by gas frombelow. Super hot airswirls about thedrum. The beansnever rest. They flyback and forth and upand down.

Norgren can watch the inferno through the roaster’s smallglass window. He doesn’t. The digital eye of the computer con-nected to the roaster does a better job of monitoring time, tem-perature and quality than the naked eye. Computers havehelped small artisan coffee roasters such as Norgren. But theymerely free the craftsman to focus more on coffee’s subtleties.

“Coffee is a commodity. Its value on the market is secondonly to oil,” Norgren says. “The big roasters buy entire ship-ping containers. But my business is small and I can buy onebag at a time. I look for a certain flavor profile within eachorigin and can enjoy the beauty of that.”

When the roaster’s bell rings Norgren knows that a batchis ready. He looks like a magician as the hot beans pour outof the roaster and surround him in a billow of smoke.

Grain AnglesHarvest conditions

‘tremendous’The unseasonably warm, dry fall has given us

tremendous harvest conditions. The speed of harvesthas been a real blessing, given the late planting ofthis crop. Earlier in the growing season, there wasconcern of high drying cost. Fortu-nately this has not been a prob-lem and has saved a great deal oftime in the harvesting process.

The early frost has not provento have damaged the crops asmany feared. There are somepockets that were especially latein planting that are reportingsome “green” beans. Yet, to datethis has not been widespread. Forthose challenged with these con-ditions, one will want to be cog-nizant of the grain grading anddiscount schedules at the point ofsale. One must be careful not toco-mingle “green” beans with beans unaffected bythe early frost. This could cause significant financialconsequences, due to discounts.

As we fill on-farm storage, we must remember thatthis is another business enterprise that must be man-aged in a professional manner. There are opportuni-ties to fatten margins with proper managing and mer-chandising. With these opportunities, there are alsorisks involved with mismanagement. There is nothinglike letting a bin of grain go out of condition, to pro-vide a steep “tuition” bill from the marketplace. Atten-tion to details, such as “pulling the centers” out of thebins to remove the “fines,” to allow for proper air cir-culation throughout the bin can pay big dividends.

Fall tillage could be a challenge with the dry con-

Grain OutlookMacroeconomicscan’t be ignored

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing Oct. 7.

CORN — After a spike lower to start the week, cornfinally managed to find some buyer interest whenDecember corn futures tradedunder $6 last week for the firsttime since July. Informa Econom-ics updated their crop estimate atmidweek which also lent a sup-portive air to the market.

With all the reports of better-than-expected yields, the tradewas expecting Informa to keep theyield at 150 bushels per acre orhigher.While their fresh yield fore-cast of 149.5 bu./acre is still higherthan the last U.S. Department ofAgriculture estimate of 148.1bu./acre, it was a drop from their151.0 bu./acre September figure. Informa Economicscrop production number is 12.519 billion bushels.

Macroeconomic influences couldn’t be ignored thisweek either. The pendulum was first swinging to thenegative side on renewed concerns about Europeanbank stability and Greece’s ability to make their debtpayments. This pushed the U.S. dollar higher. As theweek progressed, the news took a more positive slantas statements came out that the European CentralBank would hold interest rates at unchanged. Thishalted the dollar’s upswing.

The U.S. non-farm payroll additions for Septemberwere friendly at 103,000 when only 60,000 wereexpected. The August number was also revised upfrom zero to 57,000 jobs added. The September

Livestock AnglesRetailers resisthigher prices

The livestock markets have continued to showstrength as we moved into October. Most of thestrength has been developed in the futures marketwhich has led packers to pay higher for live inventory.

This has been most true in thecattle market which has seenspeculative buying pushingfutures way out ahead of the cur-rent cash prices. This activity hasbeen led by the commodity hedgeand index funds moving largeamounts of money into this mar-ket as a hedge against inflation.The true fundamentals wouldindicate not quite as bullish a sce-nario as what is being presentedby the influx of these funds.

For example this has forced thepackers to push for higher beefcutouts to try to keep their margins at a positive basis.Because of this the retailers are resisting the higherprices and the volume in the boxed beef trade is slow-ing once again as we move toward the $185 per hun-dredweight level basis choice. With competitive meatsat much lower cost to the retailer and consumer, theemphasis is turning away from beef to the other meats.

With the continuing economic struggles worldwide,much higher food costs would not appear to be able tobe sustained in the long run. Therefore, cattle pricesmay be restricted in how far they can advance in thefuture from current levels. Producers should takeadvantage of the current strength in the market andat least protect some inventory.

The hog market has been helped to some degree, as

NYSTROM, from pg. 1Bunemployment rate was steady at9.1 percent. The energy sector alsobenefited from this influence and crude oil ralliedback over $80 per barrel.

Have we traded our harvest low? Until the Octo-ber crop report on the 12th is published it’s hard tosay. On the positive side: Conab’s new corn crop esti-mate for Brazil was pegged at 57.33 to 58.99 millionmetric tons versus the USDA’s working number of62 mmt and last year’s 57.5 mmt. Export sales werea marketing year high at 50.8 million bushels withJapan and South Korea the featured buyers. Exportsales are forecast at 1.65 billion bushels for 2011-12, the lowest level since 2002-03. We currentlyhave 674 million bushels of total export commit-ments on the books at this time, or 41 percent oftotal exports. The U.S. Grains Council completedtheir China tour with a crop estimate of 167 mmtversus the USDA’s 178 mmt projection. The USGCforecasts China’s import needs at 5 mmt to 10 mmtof corn when the USDA is carrying them at 2 mmt.

On the negative side: There were reports this weekthat Argentina is close to signing an agreement withChina to sell them corn. China has not bought cornfrom Argentina due to GMO issues. Ukraine threw awrench at the market on Friday by announcing theyintended to cancel their 12 percent maize and 9 per-cent wheat export duties. The measure must besigned by their president before it happens, and nodate has been announced for it to take effect.

A new bill proposed in Congress would link thestocks-to-use ratio to the ethanol production man-date. If the stocks-to-use ratio fell below 10 percent,the mandate would decline; a sliding scale would beused as the ratio falls, culminating with a 50 per-cent reduction in the mandate if the ratio droppedunder 5 percent. Ethanol production this week was

up 22,000 barrels at 863,000 barrels perday and unchanged from a year ago.OUTLOOK: A survey taken by

Bloomberg indicates the U.S. corn yield at 148.79bu./acre for a crop of 12.479 billion bushels, and end-ing stocks at 804 million bushels. The USDA in Sep-tember was using 148.1 bu./acre, a crop of 12.497 bil-lion bushels and ending stocks of 672 million bushels.The December corn contract pierced the $5.75 1/2July low, hitting $5.72 1/4. This will become our newsupport level. Resistance comes in near the 14-daymoving average at $6.29, then the 200-day movingaverage at $6.44 3/4 per bushel. December corn closedthe week at $6, up 7 1/2 cents for the week.

SOYBEANS — Soybean harvest was in full swingthis week with no hint of any disappointment onyields, although moisture levels have crept into sin-gle digits in many areas of the Midwest. InformaEconomics’ new yield estimate is 41.8 bu./acre, onpar with the USDA’s September number and onlyslightly higher than their previous estimate. Thetrade had been anticipating a slightly larger numberdue to the better-than-expected yield reports so farthis year. Their crop production is pegged at 3.087billion bushels, on par with the September USDAnumber of 3.085 billion bushels.

Weekly export sales were 25.8 million bushels withhalf of those sales to China. China also bought 122,100metric tons of U.S. soybeans this week, even withChina on holiday all week. Conab’s first estimate forthe 2011-12 crop year puts acreage up 2 to 3.5 percent

from last year. Production at 72.2 mmt to 73.3 mmt isdown from last year’s 75.3 mmt on expectations yieldwill pull back from last year’s record.

The U.S. Senate has delayed a vote on a billintended to make it easier to raise tariffs on importsfrom countries that are perceived to subsidizeexports by keeping their currency undervalued. It isnot expected to pass the House.

OUTLOOK: Soybean harvest is hitting the half-waypoint after excellent harvest weather and farmer sell-ing has been minimal at this price level. Novemberbeans have been able to hold support at the 100-daymoving average, which is $11.52 on the close. This coin-cides with this week’s low. If this is broken, the nextsupport doesn’t come into play until almost $11/bu.Short-term resistance is at this week’s high at $11.893/4 and the 14-day moving average at $12.27/bu.November beans were down 20 3/4 cents this week at$11.58 1/4 per bushel. The Bloomberg survey’s expecta-tions for the Oct. 12 report were 42.06 bu./acre, a crop of3.102 billion bushels, with ending stocks at 186 millionbushels. In September, the USDA was using 41.8bu./acre, a crop of 3.085 billion bushels and endingstocks of 165 million bushels.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the weekended Oct. 7: Minneapolis December wheat soared 271/4 cents higher, Kansas City down 19 1/2 cents andChicago down 1 3/4 cents/bu. November crude oiljumped $3.78 higher to $82.98, heating oil up nearly8 cents, gasoline almost 11 cents higher and naturalgas down 18 1/2 cents.

TEALE, from pg. 1Bhave the cattle, by the influx of speculative moneyflowing into the futures. There has also been somenew export business around and more rumors ofmore exports in the future. The cash side of the mar-ket has been more of a leader than the futures aspackers have been fairly steady buyers of inventory.Like the cattle, as pork cutouts continue to rise, theresistance to higher prices by the retail andexporters will climb also.

The value of pork products is far better than thevalue of beef at current prices since they are virtuallyhalf of that of the beef cutouts. Again the economicconditions are going to play a significant role in thefutures prices of hogs down the road. The continuingstagnant and deteriorating conditions of worldeconomies, and the lack of any progress to eliminatethese problems, could hamper the outlook for porkprices as well. It would be prudent for producers toprotect at least part of their inventory at this timeand use further strength to up their protection.

NEHER, from pg. 1Bditions this year. If conditions are such that moredamage will be made to soil profiles or machinerythan it is worth, one may want to wait for a rain. Soiltypes and weather conditions will play a big part inthese factors. Sometimes we can do more damage tosoil conditions by misapplied tillage, putting one in adisadvantaged position in the spring with poorseedbeds. This is a judgment call that must be made.Consider the return on the investment.

Many grain producers who have held on to grainun-priced going into harvest — because this has paidoff the last couple of years — are feeling frustratedwith the market action of late. Those who did notwant to sell, due to fear that they would see pricemove higher and leave “money on the table” are nowlooking at $2 in corn and $3 in soybeans left on the

table. The temptation for “panic selling” is com-pelling. This is not the time to panic. It may takesome time, but this market is still strong.

While corn could trade lower into the “gut-slot” ofharvest, the long-term supply and demand situationshould lead to another rally later in the 2011-12 mar-keting year. In its September supply and demandreport, the U.S. Department of Agriculture peggeddomestic ending stocks-to-use at 5.3 percent, the sec-ond-tightest on record and global ending stocks-to-useat 13.6 percent, the tightest since the 11.7 percentestimated at the end of the 1973-74 marketing year.

We must remember that farming and grain market-ing is not easy. If it was, everyone would be doing it. Letus remember to be thankful for the blessings of a har-vest and role that we play in feeding a hungry world.

This is not the time to panic

MARKETING

Every year is different with federal cropinsurance, and with the multiple optionsavailable to producers, there are manyvariable results from crop insurance cov-erage at harvest time.

This year will be no different, with someproducers choosing Yield Protection poli-cies (yield only) versus Revenue Protec-tion policies (yield and price). Producersalso have differences in the level of cover-age, and some producers chose “optionalunits,” while other producers chose “enter-prise units” for 2011.

In the Midwest, most corn and soy-bean producers in recent years havetended to secure some level of rev-enue crop insurance coverage, rather than standardyield-only policies. Producers like the flexibility ofthe RP policies that provide insurance coverage forreduced yields, as well as in instances where the har-vest price drops below initial base price.

In 2011, corn and soybean yield losses with YP poli-cies and RP policies will function differently, due to therecent drop in Chicago Board of Trade grain prices.

The established base prices for 2011 YP and RPcrop insurance policies was $6.01 per bushel for cornand $13.49/bu. for soybeans. This will be the pay-ment rate for 2011 YP policies for corn and soybeans,and will serve as the final price to calculate revenueguarantees to calculate potential RP crop insuranceindemnity payments at current price levels.

The final harvest price for RP insurance policies isbased on the average CBOT December corn futuresand CBOT November soybean futures during Octo-ber. If the 2011 CBOT price in October is below$6.01/bu. for corn and $13.49/bu. for soybeans, theinitial base price is used to calculate the RP guaran-tees; otherwise, the October price is used.

The CBOT average price for Octoberwill be used to calculate the value of theactual harvested bushels in 2011 for RPpolicies. As of Oct. 10, the average CBOTfutures prices in October were $5.99/bu.for corn and $11.65/bu. for soybeans.

Corn and soybean producers have theoption of selecting crop insurance policiesranging from 60 percent to 85 percent cover-age levels. While 85 percent coverage levelsare fairly common with YP policies, coveragelevels of 75 percent and 80 percent are morecommon with RP insurance policies, due to

more affordable premium costs.The level of insurance coverage can

result in some producers receiving cropinsurance indemnity payments, while other producersreceive no indemnity payments, even though both produc-ers had the same guarantee and the same final yield.

For example, at a proven corn yield of 180 bushelsper acre, a producer with 85 percent coverage wouldhave a 153 bu./acre guarantee, while a producer with75 percent coverage would have a yield guarantee of135 bu./acre.Enterprise units or optional units

In recent years, the U.S. Department of AgricultureRisk Management Agency increased the federal sub-sidy for purchasing YP or RP insurance coverageunder “enterprise units,” which combines all acres ofa crop in a given county into one crop insurance unit.

As a result, crop insurance premium levels for poli-

cies with enterprise units were much more favor-able than for policies utilizing “optional units.” Priorto 2009, most producers used optional units, whichallow producers to insure corn and soybeans sepa-rately in each township section. Many more produc-ers are now taking advantage of the lower premiumlevels with enterprise units, allowing them toupgrade to 80 percent or 85 percent RP coverage.

Producers who have 2011 crop losses on individualfarms, and have crop insurance coverage withoptional units, may be able to collect crop insuranceindemnity payments on their 2011 corn or soybeancrop on some farm units, while not on others.

Meanwhile, producers with crop insurance policieswith enterprise units in 2011, may be less likely toqualify for 2011 crop insurance indemnity pay-ments, unless they had crop losses on a significantportion of crop acres in a county.

Due to the recent drop in CBOT crop prices, along withthe low corn and soybean yields in some areas due to poor2011 weather conditions, there are likely to be more pro-ducers with enterprise units that qualify for crop insur-ance indemnity payments in 2011, as compared to 2010.

Many producers saw some significant savings incrop insurance premium costs in the past couple ofyears by switching to enterprise units, which workquite well when a producer incurs general yieldreductions due to drought or poor growing condi-tions, or when the harvest price drops lower thanthe initial base price.

PROGRAMS, from pg. 3BHowever, in situations

when most crop losses werefrom severe storms and heavy rainsthat damaged some farms and notothers, or damaged parts of farms,optional units are far superior toenterprise units, as far as potential forcrop insurance indemnity payments.

Producers with enterprise units whopurchased supplemental hail insurancecoverage as part of their overall riskmanagement plan in 2011 may havequalified for some indemnity paymentson farms with crop losses from hailstorms during the growing season.

Producers should contact their cropinsurance agent to better understandinsurance coverage with enterpriseunits, as compared to optional units,for the 2012 crop year.Calculating potential 2011 cropinsurance payments

Some farmers in Minnesota and sur-rounding states will be facing reducedyields on some farm units in 2011, dueto heavy rains and severe storms.

Many growers purchased upgraded lev-els of YP or RP crop insurance for the2011 growing season.The recent drop inCBOT prices should lead to more favor-able RP harvest prices, which could resultin more producers qualifying for 2011crop insurance indemnity payments.

Following is ananalysis of poten-tial 2011 crop loss

scenarios that could result in likelycrop insurance indemnity paymentswith RP policies.

RP insurance policiesAn initial “price guarantee” is estab-

lished for each crop prior to the cropinsurance enrollment deadline on March15 each year. The final price guarantee isdetermined at harvest time in the fall.The price guarantees are based off ofCBOT grain futures prices.

Following is how RP price guaranteesare calculated.

CornBase price is the average settlement

price for December CBOT corn futuresin February. Harvest price for RP poli-cies is the average settlement price forDecember CBOT corn futures in Octo-ber during the year of harvest.

SoybeansBase price is the average settlement

price for November soybean futures inFebruary. Harvest price for RP policiesis the average settlement price forNovember CBOT soybean futures inOctober during the year of harvest.

2011 RP base prices were:Corn: $6.01/bu.Soybeans: $13.49/bu.2011 RP harvest price estimates as of

Oct. 10 were:Corn RP Harvest Price (Est.):

$5.99/bu.(The corn RP harvest price will be

finalized after Oct. 31.)Soybean RP harvest price (Est.):

$11.65/bu.(The soybean RP harvest price will be

finalized after Oct. 31.)The higher of the base price or the har-

vest price is used to calculate revenueguarantee per acre used to determine crop

indemnity payments with RP policies,which will likely be the base price in 2011for soybeans, and potentially for corn.

The harvest price is always used todetermine the value of the harvested crop.

Management can be one of those wordsthat is just a word; we do not fully under-stand it so we just accept it as a word. Dig-ging into definitions,Webster’s Dictionary defines it as theact of managing; the conducting or supervising of some-thing.Another definition says it is the combination of mar-keting and innovation. You know you need to market theproduct and adopt new technologies or innovations to bemore efficient, but is that all there is to management?

If you really go back into history, Sir Thomas More(1478-1535) studied low-efficiency and failures ofcertain enterprises. He is credited with the develop-ment of the practice of modern management. Per-haps management can be defined as the study of

failing businesses.There are several definitions of farm

management: Farm management isthe application of business principles and the scien-tific principles of agriculture to the business of farm-ing. Farm management is also the study of the busi-ness principles of farming. It may be defined as thescience of organization and the management of thefarm enterprise for the purpose of securing thegreatest continuous profits.

Pulling all the definitions together, we can say thatfarm management is the application of business princi-ples such as accounting, benchmarking, marketing,human resources and the scientific principles of agron-

omy, animal science and husbandry, chemistry, engi-neering to the business of farming, by striving for con-tinuous profits while protecting the environment.

Is this starting to sound like your day? You are in themiddle of doing your accounting for the day, when anemployee asks for the weekend off to attend a wedding,the seed dealer wants to do a yield check on that newvariety that you purchased for this year, the grain mar-kets are going down and you are wishing that you hadmore sold, and you want to know how this crop yieldcompares to the previous five years.

Does that fit our definition from above, combining busi-ness principles with scientific principles to strive for con-tinuous profits and protect the environment? It kind oflooks like it does. You are doing accounting, dealing witha human resource issue, verifying an agronomic choice,considering marketing decisions while doing somebenchmarking on yields all the while striving to makeprofits while protecting the environment. These are notsimple individual tasks to accomplish, and when com-bined together it becomes even more difficult.This is whymany farmers choose to seek help with managementtasks, whether it is from an accountant, crop adviser,banker or a farm management instructor.

Producers who have crop losses in 2011, withpotential crop insurance indemnity payments, shouldproperly document yield losses for either optionalunits or enterprise units. Producers with RP policiesmay qualify for crop insurance indemnity paymentsat higher final 2011 yield levels with the lowerCBOT harvest prices, especially with soybeans.

ance losses.It is important for producers who are facing crop

losses in 2011 to understand their crop insurancecoverage, and the calculations used to determinecrop insurance indemnity payments.

Does your farm management fit a dictionary definition?

Pork producers, commercialpumpers and others need to watch fora layer of foam on the surface whenpumping barn manure pits. This foamcontains numerous gases hazardousto people and animals, but methanein particular can cause barn explo-sions and/or flash fires.

“If a 6-inch thick or greater layer offoam is present and it is disturbedduring normal pit agitation andpumping, a sudden release of dis-solved gases will occur,” said LarryJacobson, an agricultural engineerwith University of Minnesota Exten-sion. Without adequate barn ventila-

tion, this can result in methane con-centrations reaching the lower explo-sive level of 5 percent or 50,000 partsper million. “An explosion is then likelyif an ignition source is present from apilot light, electric spark from a motoror cigarette,” Jacobson said.

Unfortunately, an incident recentlyoccurred like this in central Iowa,severely injuring one person. Agricul-tural engineers, animal scientists andpork industry consultants have devel-oped the following recommendationsto help producers address this serioussafety concern.

Provide continuous ventilationto prevent a gas build-up. Increaseventilation during agitation to quicklydissipate released gases. Sufficientventilation or exchange of air in thebarn is always essential to keep theconcentration of methane below itsexplosive threshold.

• Sufficient air exchange in a barnwhile agitating and pumping a manurepit is at least two to three times theminimum ventilation rate (or around10 air changes per hour) for the barn.

• If the pit is full or nearly full, donot rely only on pit fans to supply thisairflow rate, since these fans may beseverely restricted. It may be better touse only wall fans to supply this airexchange while agitating/pumping thebarn’s manure pit since methane gas islighter than air.

• Make sure your normal ventilationinlets are open and operating properlyto ensure good air distribution in thebarn. This is also important in pre-venting animal deaths (if animalsmust be present in barns) during agi-tation and pumping of the manure pit.

Turn off heater pilot lights andother non-ventilation electricalsystems (such as the feeding sys-tem) that might produce an igni-tion spark. Not providing supplemen-tal heat in the barn may beproblematic for cases when there areno animals in the barn or there areonly small animals that require

warmer inside temperatures. This mayrestrict when you pump manure fromsuch a barn to warmer days or awarmer part of the day.

When pumping pits that areclose to being full, pump withoutagitation until manure is about 2feet below the slats. This will allowpit fans (if available and used) to per-form properly during agitation andprovide more dilution space formethane and other gases that arereleased.

According to Jacobson, there is cur-rently no consistent solution to con-trolling this foaming in pig manurepits. Researchers do not yet under-stand all the factors (diet, manure pH,others) that cause this problem. Sev-eral research projects are ongoing tobetter understand the causes andeventually provide solutions to thisserious problem, he said.

With feed and pasture costs atextreme highs with no relief insight, it is as important as everfor beef cow-calf producers tomake sure that their cow herd isas productive as possible. A sim-ple way to do this is to weighcows and calves at weaning, anddetermine if the calf ’s weaningweight is large enough to justifythe cost of maintaining that cow.This seems simple enough, butfew cow-calf producers have achute and scale available to accomplish this task.

Fortunately, through the Minnesota Beef Improve-ment Program offered by the University of Min-nesota Extension Beef Team, Northland College andthe Minnesota Department of Agriculture, cow-calfproducers have the opportunity to assess the produc-tivity of each cow in the herd. The BIP is an on-ranchprogram that assesses cow herd productivitythrough collecting weights, body condition and framesize information on each cow and calf at weaning.

After collecting these data, Extension Beef Teammembers compile the data and return a detailed reportshowing the productivity per cow, an economic analysisof each cow, and provide suggestions on how these datacan be used to improve overall herd productivity. Inaddition, participants complete a questionnaire regard-ing their cow management practices that is reviewedby Extension Beef Team members. After all the dataare compiled and the questionnaire is completed, ateam of Extension Beef Team experts make a site visitto the ranch to discuss the results and show how theseresults can be used to improve cow herd productivity.

The Extension Beef Team pro-vides the chute and scale andpersonnel to set up and operatethe chute on the ranch at wean-ing time. All that the cow-calfproducer needs to do upon regis-tering is work out a time forBeef Team personnel to come totheir operation with the chutefor weighing and weaning.

There are no minimum ormaximum herd sizes; previous

years have seen herd sizes ranging from 50 to 300head. The total cost of the program is $250, reducedto $150 if the producer is enrolled in a Farm Busi-ness Management program. This registration feecovers travel to the producer’s operation with achute, weighing all cows and calves in the herd, com-piling the data and report, and returning for an on-site consultation in the winter.

This program is open to cow-calf producers in north

central and northern Minnesota. Space is limited inthis program, and weaning time is nearly upon us, socontact the Extension Beef Team soon if you are inter-ested in this program.

For more information on this program, contactGrant Crawford at (320) 234-0441 [email protected], or log on towww.extension.umn.edu/beef.

For better or worse, the 2011Minnesota pheasant huntingseason begins on Oct. 15 at 9a.m.

Results from the MinnesotaDepartment of NaturalResources annual August road-side wildlife surveys suggest itwill be for worse — counts forthe grand old bird were down62 percent from 2010 figures.

We can largely thank naturefor this.

The snowy, extended winter thatwas tough on us was tough on pheas-ant populations. That was followed bya cool, wet spring that then dampenednesting success and subsequent chickproduction.

The story was similar in SouthDakota, North Dakota and Iowa,where similar conditions conspired tosignificantly knock down bird num-bers.

So it will likely be aseason of loweredexpectations and alonger time between

flushes than in recent seasons.My expectations for the upcoming

season further will be tempered by thefact that my springer spaniel is 10years old. When measured in dog years,which in popular lore are balancedseven-to-one against ours, he is 70years old this fall — a nice round num-ber.

What’s more, he is on the mend, hav-ing had the anterior cruciate ligament

in his left hind leg repaired late inMarch.

I noticed he was favoring his legslightly after opening day last year butchalked it up to sore muscles after asummer of inactivity.

He seemed to work through it andthroughout the season — or at leastuntil mid-November when heavy snoweffectively brought the pheasant sea-son to a premature end in much ofsouth central Minnesota — we huntedoften.

Then heading south into Iowa, wecontinued to hunt until the heavy snoweffectively brought that season to anearly closure as well.

It was long after the seasons closed,on an icy sidewalk in March, where thefinal damage was done. Runningaround the corner of the garage, he cuthard and his left leg suddenly splayedon some ice. I remember thinking,“Ouch, that had to hurt.”

The next morning, he was favoringthe leg.

A trip to the vet confirmed my suspi-

cions: a torn ACL.What’s more, the docsaid, the thickening ofthe joint suggested thatat least a partial tearprobably had occurredearlier.

I thought back to ouropening day hunt.

Veterinarian Ken Ambrose was confi-dent he could put Samson back in thepink. He assured me that with sixmonths to rehab the leg, odds wereexcellent that come October the dogonce again would be nosing around inpheasant haunts.

He’ll hunt like a 10-year-old dog, hesaid. Not as hard but a lot smarter.

Now, with the pheasant seasonslooming, he was spot on with his pre-diction.

The dog is moving great. On eveningwalks in the cool air that now carries ahint of wood smoke, there is even a bitof a spring in his step.

And in mine as well.After all, with the pheasant numbers

out there this fall predicted to be down.The shooting may not be as a good asin recent years.

But the hunting always is.•••

Pheasant populations in Minnesotahave dropped 64 percent from 2010,largely due to two severe winters anda wet spring, according to the Depart-ment of Natural Resources. Landown-ers cannot control the weather; how-ever, they can plant more thermalcover for overwintering wildlife.

University of Minnesota Extensionworks with state and federal agenciesto educate landowners about conser-vation practices that benefit soil,

water and wildlife resources. In part-nership with conservation organiza-tions and agency wildlife staff, Exten-sion developed an online fact sheet toassist landowners in creating winterhabitat for pheasants, available atwww.extension.umn.edu/go/1081.

Winter habitat areas can have a dra-matic effect on pheasant populationsin landscapes that have sufficientnesting cover, but experience severewinters. Winter habitat plantings

placed near nesting areas can increaseover-winter survival and ultimatelyresult in more hens that are in bettercondition.

If you are afarmer or otherlandowner whowishes to helppheasants survivewinter, considerthe following rec-ommendations.

• Locate winter habi-tat areas within one ortwo miles of nestinghabitats, and withinthree miles of eachother, to increase benefits to pheasantsand other wildlife.

• Avoid planting tall deciduous trees,as they provide perch sites for avianpredators.

• Include conifers and shrubs. Alsoinclude short deciduous trees such ascrabapples, which can provide a winterfood source as well as cover.

• Plantings should include two rowsof shrubs on the windward sides (northand west) to catch drifting snow, anopen snow catch area, four or morerows of closely spaced conifers (spruce,etc.) and two rows of shrubs on the lee-ward side (south and east).

• A woody cover planting should belarge enough to provide shelter insevere winters (at least 200 feet wide

and 600 feet in length, or approxi-mately three acres) and be designed toprovide protection from prevailingnorthwest winds. Plantings may be L-

shaped, arc-shaped or rectan-gular.

• If possible,design the plant-ing to protect afood plot andherbaceous nest-ing cover, such asnative grasses andforbs.

Floodingaffected many

croplands this spring, and some ofthese areas may qualify for wetlandbanking or other programs thatinclude native vegetation establish-ment and increasing winter cover forwildlife. County Soil and Water Con-servation Districts and NaturalResource Conservation Service officescan help landowners identify plantand financial resources for wildlifehabitats.

Lime Spreading“Have you checked your soil PH lately”

Advantages we offer:• We unload directly from the trucks to a floater

(Terra Gator) without stockpiling material.This gives us a more uniform spread with nofoliage to plug up the spreader.

• With direct loading there is no stockpile, nowasted lime or mess in your field.

• We use a floater (Terra Gator) to spread sowe have less compaction.

• We are equipped to spread variable rate usingGPS mapping.

• We service Minnesota and northern Iowa.Why apply Aglime:• A soil ph level of 5.5 nitrogen efficiency is only

77 percent.• A soil ph level of 6.0 nitrogen efficiency still is

only 89 percent.• At a soil ph level of 7.0 fertilizer efficiency is

100 percent.
