By RICHARD SIEMERSThe Land Correspondent

From out of the pastcomes a fiery red-headwith the speed of light, a flash ofblack and white, and a hearty “rat-a-tat-tat.” The red-headed wood-pecker.

I apologize for that dramaticoutburst, but sighting a red-headed woodpecker as a farm boywas as exciting as it was to hearthe Lone Ranger come on theradio years ago. It is even moreexciting these days.

The excitement is intensifiedbecause it is such a rare occur-rence. There has been a precipi-tous decline in the number of red-headed woodpeckers over the past40 years. There are states in theeastern United States where thebird is listed as “threatened” andeven “endangered.” In the Mid-west, numbers have declined closeto 50 percent during those 40years.

These facts are among the infor-mation Red-headed WoodpeckerRecovery has on its website,www.redheadrecovery.org.

Red-headed Woodpecker Recov-ery is a project of the AudubonChapter of Minneapolis and wasinitiated by two members with abackground in bluebird recovery.Jerry Bahls, who is now presidentof the Audubon Club, was the firstcoordinator, a position currentlyfilled by Chet Meyers.

The loss of such a flashy birdwould be sad, but the project isabout more than saving a colorful creature.

“The loss of any species impacts on the health ofthe environment,” Meyers said in an e-mail inter-view. “We are just too ignorant to appreciate all theimplications.”

But we aren’t ignorant of the causes behind thedrop in numbers. It is loss of habitat. As the websiteexplains, red-headed woodpeckers need a specifichabitat — oak savanna with snags.

Oak savanna has mature trees with an open

understory where red-headed woodpeckers can catchthe beetles, grasshoppers and other insects of theirdiet. Snags are dead trees with large limbs to accom-modate cavities for nesting.

The Audubon Club of Minneapolis is working withMinnesota Department of Natural Resources Non-Game Division and the University of Minnesota’sCedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve on Red-headed Woodpecker Recovery. Efforts at Cedar Creekhave shown that if habitat is provided, the red-

WOODPECKER, from pg. 2Aheaded woodpecker will come.But even there the numbers fluc-tuate.

According to Mary Spivey, educationcoordinator at Cedar Creek, spotterslocated 32 nests in their 2013 annualcount, down from 50 nests last year.

Jim Howitz is a researcher in thered-headed woodpecker study atCedar Creek, and shared his experi-ence in e-mail correspondence. He toldhow by placing a feeding platformnear a nest, they were able to trap andband 50 birds with a unique combina-tion of colored bands so individualbirds could be recognized, helpfulsince “males and females look justalike.” Males and females also shareduties equally — excavating the nest,incubating eggs and feeding thebabies.

“One of the dangers red-headedwoodpeckers face is vehicle traffic,”Howitz said. “We found three wood-peckers killed by collisions with vehi-cles along the county road that adjoinsthe study area. One of the birds killed

was a female whohad babies in thenest. The male took

over all the parental duties and fed thenestlings for another 20 days until theyleft the nest and then until they couldfend for themselves.”

Several of the birds would come whenthey spotted the researchers, hopingfor the treats they put on the feedingplatforms.

“Some even follow us around, expect-ing a handout,” Howitz said. “The birdsare a challenge but also a delight towork with.”

Real recovery, however, must gobeyond the Reserve into the generalcountryside. What Red-headed Wood-pecker Recovery looks for are clusters,defined as three nesting pairs within aquarter-mile radius. In the past, clus-ters have been recorded at golf courses,Camp Ripley and other private areas.(There’s a location map at their web-site.)

Private landowners will play a bigrole in the bird’s recovery. Loss of habi-tat due to urban sprawl and intensive

agriculture is the primary reason forthe decline in numbers, Meyers said,though there may be other factors wedon’t understand.

What is understood is that providinghabitat will encourage recovery. Red-headed Woodpecker Recovery hasfound nesting pairs on small aban-doned farmsteads, so stopping theirremoval and maintaining other woodedspots is a first step. Other areas suchas parks, cemeteries and golf coursescan provide habitat — if they will toler-ate some dead trees, which Meyersadmits is not an easy sell.

If golfers and others sight a red-headed woodpecker occasionally, per-haps a few dead trees would not seem

unsightly. As for the safety issue, thewebsite advises how to trim trees sothey are not so likely to blow down yetmaintain the large branches in whichthe woodpeckers like to nest.

The loss of wildlife can be caused byhuman activity, so human activity canalso aid its recovery. Red-headed Wood-pecker Recovery needs the public’s par-ticipation to be successful

From out of the past come memoriesof a striking red, white and black crea-ture flashing through the air. The red-headed woodpecker flies again! Withour help.

Vermeer named in Department of Energy grant award

A lean hog is not a fatchicken but the marketinggeniuses hired by theNational Pork Board suresold a lotta’ hams, baconsand butts when, in 1987,they began to promote porkas “The Other White Meat.”

Now, 25 years after thatbrilliant slight of hand, thepork crowd wants to beknown as something else —the other red meat, beef —and they just pulled aneven bigger rabbit out oftheir hat to pull it off.

They had help. Two years ago, check-off leaders from the Cattlemen’s BeefBoard and the National Pork Boardvoted to fund a joint research project to“reduce and eliminate consumer confu-sion at the meat case.”

The result, announced late last win-ter in Nashville, was a complete over-haul of something that goes by theunappetizing name of URMIS, or theUniform Retail Meat Identity Stan-dards.

The make-over, according to the beef,pork and lamb checkoff-funded websitewww.meattrack.com, “created a Com-mon Name standard that simplifies cutnames, reduces unappealing terms,eliminates redundancies and providesa unique name structure for meatcuts.”

Well, kind of.For example, according to the website

www.meattrack.com, thecomplicated name “porkchop” is out and in is “porkporterhouse chop.”

Wow, huh?Other pork chops (who

knew?) will get other newnames. The “pork rib chop”will become the “pork ribeyechop” and the “pork top loinchop” will shed that com-pletely unworkable name forthe much preferred “pork

New York chop.”In all, “14 cuts of pork

are getting new consumer-friendly cut names, many that alignwith already-famous beef names,”explains www.porkretail.org, a porkcheckoff-funded website that dives intothe pork-maiden/beef-married namething.

Not surprisingly, the name changes“right out of the gate” will “help con-sumers think about pork in a wholenew way: like a steak,” explains thewebsite. This is “an unprecedentedopportunity ... to reap extraordinarybenefits ...”

Unless, of course, you’re sitting on ahorse looking at a herd of cattle thatwill become actual porterhouses,ribeyes and New York strips. Whatdoes Big Pig’s big snout in your carcassmake you?

Dupes, wrote Leo McDonnell, a Mon-tana rancher who holds a seat on the106-member CBB that runs the beef

checkoff, in a May 31 letter to Craig. A.Morris, a deputy administrator at theU.S. Department of Agriculture’s AgMarketing Service. (The USDA hasadministrative over-sight of several feder-ally-chartered com-modity checkoffs,including beef andpork.)

“I have visited withseveral current andpast members of the(the beef checkoff ’s)Operating Commit-tee,” McDonnellwrote Morris, and“not one personrecalls any disclosure... that such researchwould be used ... toassist pork in gettingapproval for thesehistorical producttrade names forbeef.”

So how did the beefcheckoff fund research that ended upwith pork shoulder being sold — nokidding — in meat cases and restau-rants as “brisket”?

Danni Beer, a South Dakota rancherand fellow CBB member, wrote theUSDA a letter in May, that asked thatexact question. In it she explains howshe was given a 223-page book on beefcheckoff “Authorization Requests” backin 2011 to study.

Many of those “ARs,” Beer noted,included “Attachment As’ from theNational Cattlemen’s Beef Association,”the beef checkoff’s main contractor. One

of those NCBAattachments, sheexplained, includedfunding for tracking“consumer confusionat the meat case.”

But “nowhere,”she went on, “can Ifind a measurableobjective thatincludes workingwith the NationalPork Board ... todevelop acrossspecies a set of com-mon names forretail cuts.”

Well, wrote theUSDA’s Morris inreply, maybe “theAR could have beenwritten moreclearly,” but since it

was approved, it’s now in effect.And that’s just how it is in the checkoff

world where up is down, red meat iswhite meat and the very next porkcheckoff slogan might be, Pork: And YouThought You Were Buying Beef!

The following op-ed, written by Min-nesota Gov. Mark Dayton, appeared in theRedwood Falls (Minn.) Gazette on Aug. 8.

When I was growing up, I heard astory about how the legendary Univer-sity of Minnesota football coach, BernieBierman, recruited big, strong playersfor his national championship teams.

Reportedly, he drove through Min-nesota farm country in the spring-time. When he saw a young manwalking behind a plow, he stoppedand asked for directions to a nearbytown. If the young man pointed withhis finger, the coach drove on. If, how-ever, the farm boy lifted the plow topoint the direction, Bernie recruitedhim to play football at the U!

Whether or not thatstory is true, it tellsthe truth about thestrength and spirit ofMinnesota farmers.Today’s agriculturerequires not onlyphysical strength but

also many other skills, to manage com-plex businesses, overcome all kinds ofobstacles and survive serious setbacks.

Last year, hot, dry weather causedsevere drought conditions, which dam-aged some farmers’ crops anddestroyed others throughout ournation’s farm belt. This year, cold, wet

weather ruined hay crops anddelayed other plantings.And when it’s not the weather, it’s

Washington. The continuing failure ofCongress to pass a new farm bill,almost a year after the old one ended,prolongs the uncertainties for every-one whose livelihoods are affected bythose policies and programs.

Nevertheless, throughout Min-nesota’s 155 years of statehood,through all kinds ofweather and politics, twothings have remainedunchanged.

First, agriculture hasremained the life-givingbedrock of our state’seconomy — supportingmore than 340,000 peo-ple and delivering over$7 billion in high-qualityagricultural and foodexports last year alone.When farmers do well,businesses on Min-nesota’s Main Streets dowell; and our entire stateeconomy grows stronger.

Second, farmersremain among Min-nesota’s great heroes — fortheir willingness to plowthrough adversity, for theirendurance of MotherNature’s misfortunes, andfor their faith and courage to do it allagain next spring.

Farmers have been essential to ourstate’s past success, and they will beeven more crucial in the future. That iswhy the triumph of American agricul-ture in today’s competitive, cut-throatworld economy has been so extraordi-nary — and so important. Farmers’costs-of-production continue to rise,

from wages, to machinery, to energy.Yet, through their quality, innovationand plain hard work, they continue tooutperform the rest of the world.

I’m pleased to say that strong sup-port for Minnesota’s farmers is not apartisan issue at our state capitol. Inthe three legislative sessions since Ibecame governor, agriculture bills andbudgets have passed with overwhelm-ing bipartisan support.

Last spring, we agreedto invest an additional$18.5 million in the Agri-cultural Growth,Research and Innova-tion Fund — a fund ded-icated to keeping Min-nesota farm productionon the leading edge in anever-changing world.Our investments will aidfarmers in developingnew methods of produc-tion, support research onthe next generation ofbiofuels and help ourschools to purchase morehigh-quality food fromlocal farmers.

We also passed afirst-in-the-nation vol-untary Ag Water Qual-ity Certification Pro-gram to partner withfarmers to improve ourstate’s water resources.

Farmers are our first and foremoststewards of the land. Here in Min-nesota, we are working together tokeep our agricultural production theworld’s best, while also protecting andenhancing our environment.

That kind of cooperation and innova-tion is the Minnesota way. It’s why ourfarmers are National Champions! ❖

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

Veteran farm therapist TedMatthews has shared time withmany farmers. He knows the quirksthat often typify a farmer’s action.

When talking about the stresses ofmodern day farming he shared amost common observation. “Mostfarmers, especially during the plant-ing and harvesting seasons, tend tooverestimate their durability. Theysimply do need more sleep.”

Conversely, Matthews said, farm-ers who don’t need as much sleepthink extra sleep is being lazy. Theythen push themselves harder andthat is a setup for potential disaster.

So who’s most guilty of pushing the envelope andnot knowing — or acknowledging — their own limi-tations? Matthews’ consulting experience with theFarm Business Management Program tells him thatolder farmers tend to push harder. Yet because ofbetter equipment and much more technology he con-tends there isn’t the need to crank up like there usedto be.

“Admittedly those old habits die hard,” he said.Matthews said another social change going on in

rural Minnesota is “Kids used to take over the farmwhen Dad got into his late-50s, early 60s. And thatwas basically because Dad’s body was wrecked bythat age, especially if he was a dairy farmer. But nowthanks to technology both in farming and medicine,Dad can farm ’til he’s 85 if he wants to. A lot of themwant to do just that and that conundrum is creatingsome social or transitional changes which is puttingnew stresses on both Dad and the family.”

What’s the impact of education in this era of agri-cultural stress? Does the “better-educated” farmerpush harder because he thinks he can, and should?Farm consultants hesitate to make a call on thatissue, but Matthews suggested the value of sonsgoing off to college before returning to the farmbecause “if they listen to their father, and father lis-tens to them, between the two of them they can comeup with some pretty good ideas.”

The readily identifiable problem in many farmfamily relationships, however, is that most youngpeople today don’t have the patience to listen, andmany older folks tend to think the youngsters aren’told enough to have opinions on these issues. “Bothsides have some work to do in this area of mutualrespect and understanding,” he said.

Will a farmer voluntarily bring up stress issues,whether that be mental, financial, even family andmarital concerns? Not likely. But because Matthewsfunctions as a “third party” in these disagreementshe’s the unbiased listener with which a father or soncan discuss issues in confidence. “The father will lis-ten to me even when I’m quoting to him directly thevery comments of his son, and vice versa. That alsorelates to wives and daughters who often are nowpart of this total team partnership.”

Matthews noted that often the wife is more ready

to retire from the farm than is thehusband. “The reality is that it’sharder for the older farmer to slowdown, than his wife. Let’s face theother reality of crop farming thesedays is that farmers are employedonly for a part of the year. And whatto do with this amazing amount ofso-called free time is indeed a mentalchallenge.”

What’s making this retirement issue more diffi-cult? One reality is that often the wife is now thechief bookkeeper of the farming operation. Sheknows she has opinions and that generates contro-versy, Matthews said.

“Men for a thousand years never had to argue withtheir women about what equipment to buy, but notso anymore,” he chuckled, adding, “make too manywrong decisions on equipment and you lose the farm.Yes, there’s lots more give and take on farm decisionsthan there used to be.”

He advises his male customers that if their wife isdoing the books how can you possibly not expect that

she would have, and should have, an opinion sinceshe is doing the numbers.

He’s concerned about the aggressive attitudes offarmers when it comes to buying land. “Eventhough they all say that prices are getting out ofhand yet as soon as that neighboring quarter comesup, they’re bidding,” Matthew said. He asks whathappens when some bubbles start occurring? Alsowhat happens if injury or illness or death suddenlyoccurs? Yet he marvels at the uniqueness of agricul-ture where if a farmer suddenly needs help, forwhatever reason, almost as suddenly 10 tractors or10 combines show up.

“Neighbors show up, usually without even beingcalled. They do what needs to be done for thatfarmer, that family. They don’t charge a dime. If youtry to pay they would be offended. So even thoughthe land chasing seems almost reckless and greedy,farmers have the biggest hearts,” Matthews said.

He’s still somewhat amazed at agriculture’s pre-dictable transition of sons taking over the farming

LIMITATIONS, from pg. 7Abusiness from their fathers.Matthews noted this tradition rarelyhappens in most other businesses.Even though this transition is often astress-inducing environment, it is thevery process that continues the tradi-tion of family farming in Minnesotaand rural America.

“It is often easier to have a hiredemployee come to your farm for eighthours of daily labor than it is forfather and son or father and daughterto comfortably work together becauseyou have much higher expectations ofyour kids,” he said.

So when a farmer realizes he’s in a“critical situation” whatever theissue, what’s the next move? Howdoes he access a Ted Matthews oranyone else who’s gifted in listening

before suggesting advice? Matthewssaid many, in fact most of his “counsel-ing hookups,” happen because Min-nesota farm business managers, or arural banker or even a local Extensioneducator gets that farmer in touchwith Matthews.

“The reality is that it’s easier for afarmer to look at his neighbor and say‘He needs help’ than it is for a farmerto look at himself and say ‘I needhelp’,” Matthews said.

The other reality is that Matthews is

indeed one of a kind. He is the Min-nesota FBM program director of men-tal health, officed at the Morris officewith Ridgewater Community andTechnical College. He’s been at thistask since 1996 so probably can readthe troubled minds of Minnesota farm-ers better than anyone. He prefers tobe a ‘‘man on wheels” to visit farmersin their locale.

“I prefer a neutral location ... andthat isn’t in the farmer’s office. Nor isit the local coffee shop where mostfarmers seem to know every otherfarmer. We need some distance fromthe farm itself so the farmer has todrive to meet me. That sort of puts usboth in a neutral environment. Andthat’s when a farmer is most honestwith himself, and his conversationswith me,” Matthews said.

Summing up, he makes these obser-vations:

• The work ethic of older farmers

seems stronger than that of youngerfarmers, perhaps because most farmsused to have livestock.

• Younger family members don’trealize when you quit you can’t justlive on social security.

• Retiring farmers often are willingto lend a hand to family members tak-ing over the farm, but too often that“lending a hand” is like full time so theyounger family members think theyneed only an eight-hour day on thefarm.

• Farmers have an incredibleamount of pride. Their farm is theirachievement which generates atremendous focus on leaving it evenbetter.

• That pride also keeps them fromsaying “Good for me. We’re heading tothe Bahamas this winter.”

• It also keeps them from saying“I’ve got nothing to do. I guess we’lltake a vacation.”

The reality is that it’s easier for a farmer to look at his neighbor and say ‘He needs help’ than it is for a farmer to look at himself and say ‘I need help.’”

The flock of laying hens at Seven Songs OrganicFarm are now certified as Animal Welfare Approved.This certification and food label lets consumersknow that these animals were raised in accordancewith the highest animal welfare standards in theUnited States, using sustainable agriculture meth-ods on an independent family farm.

Like other AWA farmers across the country,Melissa Driscoll recognizes the growing consumerinterest in how animals are being raised. Driscolljoined the AWA program because she believes inraising chickens according to the AWA’s standards,and she recognized the importance of third-partycertification in proving “we are doing what we saywe’re doing” to her customers. “We were impressedwith the thoroughness of AWA’s certification process,and thoughtfulness of the standards,” she said.

Seven Songs Organic Farm is located on seven acresbetween Kenyon and Wanamingo, with excellentblack prairie soil, a large barn, a granary buildingused as a chicken coop and a hoop house for growingproduce out of season. Driscoll raises a flock of AWA

Delaware breed laying hens, chosen for their ability toforage for food, and their large brown eggs. Driscollsaid, “the most important aspect of how we raisechickens is the fact that they can range in a large out-door yard at will during the day and can therefore donormal chicken activities like establish a pecking

order, dust-bathe, search for green growing food andinsects to eat, and wander through the tall grass.”

Seven Songs Organic Farm eggs are sold weekly inSt. Paul, Minn. Customers interested in purchasingeggs can call the farm directly at (507) 789-8868. ❖

Sac county, Iowa, farmer Jim Meyer speaks fromexperience on the issue of farm stress.

After graduating from Iowa State University,Meyer taught vocational agriculture for a few years,then went into ag banking, before returning to thehome farm of pork production and grain.

He also served two terms as a state representa-tive in the Iowa Legislature. The following is aQuestion & Answer session with Meyer on the topicof stress.

Q: Because of the high stakes of farmingtoday, are we seeing more behavioral issuesamong farmers?

Meyer: I don’t see indications of increased behav-ioral issues among farmers. High land prices andhigher cash rent are causing some stress. Howeverincreased cash flow from higher corn and beanprices have caused over-optimistic commitments.Farmers have been very successful at bidding upinput costs until profit is non-existent. I am nothearing about threatened suicides like we had inthe early ’80s.

Q: Are increasing debt loads a contributingfactor to increasing divorce rates within ruralfamilies?

Meyer: Marital disharmony comes from twomajor causes: financial problems and lack of sexualcompatibility. Successful farming operationsinclude a business plan that involves all membersof the management team. Farmers that do notinvolve their spouse are missing the boat. Not onlyare the spouse inputs valuable, but they are going

to provide much-needed support.This harmony willbe there if everyoneknows what isgoing on and why.The same is true ofchildren and their spouses.

Lack of transparency is like playing basketballwith only one hand. You can do it, but it works awhole lot better with two. Most spouses have off-farm jobs or careers and the juggling of schedulesand support for each other, as well as the kids, is soimportant.

Q: Due to technology in both farm equipmentand medicine, farmers stay healthy longer andfarm longer. Is this causing strife with sonsand daughters wanting to become farmingpartners?

Meyer: The problem of fathers using sons anddaughters as hired hands has been around since thesod was broken. This happens because Dad is inse-cure. He can’t stand to be challenged or have hisjudgment questioned. Thus those around him are

not encouraged to share their management skills.Technology has been a real plus in involving theyounger generation. Dad simply has to depend onthe younger, brighter tech minds to make the equip-ment work correctly.

One of the smartest plans I know is allowing youngpeople to own and raise livestock and crops to earnmoney for more education or to buy into the opera-tion. It always seemed to me it was easier to give upa little income over a 10-year period as the youngpeople grow up, rather than come up with $20,000 to$30,000 the year a child wants to go to college, buy ahouse, or start a business.

Q: Should outside counsel be a first stepwhen farm families sit down to discuss a tran-sition of the farm?

Meyer: Another opinion is always good if you aresecure enough to handle the comments. Most suc-cessful business operations use paid consultants.These are doctors, dentists, tax preparers, crop con-sultants. We are also good at collecting as manypointers as we can for no pay. The role of consultingis very clear. If you are going to pay someone foradvice, either pay attention and use the informationas best you can, or fire the consultant.

Q: Can farmers start with a visit to theircounty Extension office when they wantadvice on how to avoid a potential financialcrisis?

Meyer: Because of media, social and educationalchange, the county Extension office help has dimin-ished. Extension still has some value, but requires acell phone number of the specialist you need. As is

Could the growing stress of farm-ing today be mostly of social origin?

Mike Rosmann, well-known clini-cal psychologist living at Harlan,Iowa, points out farmers today workmuch more in isolation than previ-ous generations. This lack of socialinteraction with neighboring farmersstymies their opportunity to “unload”thoughts and feelings.

He said that farming has one of thehighest injury-related rates for anyoccupation in America, annuallyranking in the top 3. And if weinclude fishing and forestry as agri-cultural occupations, as the U.S.Department of Agriculture does, then farming is themost hazardous occupation.

“But what most people don’t understand is thatfarming is also a psychological hazard because thesuicide rate for farmers is higher than most anyother work group. The suicide rate correlatesdirectly with economic stress,” Rosmann said.

He points out a farmer’s behavioral health islinked with their economic success. Behavioralissues includes things such as substance abuse,arguing and fighting among family members, as wellas mental health difficulties such as depression.Substance abuse has always existed in farm living,however today that abuse has worsened more amongyounger farmers and teenagers in rural communi-ties.

“The substance misuse rate among farmers isabout the same as for non-farmers after they reachtheir mid-30s,” Rosmann said. But alcohol hasalways been an issue with many farmers. They drinkto numb pain and to lessen psychological stress. “Ifyou drink enough you don’t think about bothersomeissues such as getting bills paid, crop losses, or bad

decisions about marketing.”Perhaps surprising in view

of the stress-related environ-ment of modern farming, thedivorce rate among farmershas remained stable sincethe farm crisis era of the1980s.

Back in the 1960s and1970s about 25 percent of farm cou-ple marriages ended in divorce, Ros-mann said. But when the farm crisisoccurred, the divorce rate amongfarm couples increased to about 40percent, matching the rate of thegeneral public. Today’s rate is 44 to45 percent but that also includessome second and third marriages.

So does this directly relate to economic concerns?He indicated sociologists aren’t in full agreementabout primary cause factors of farm divorce rates. Itlikely does have something to do with the economicturmoil of family living these days. “Perhaps it alsoreflects the changing structure of farm families,” hesaid.

During the farm crisis many farm wives startedworking off the farm, sometimes husbands also, andthe farm population became more like the rest ofsociety.

“There’s a lot more similarity today in the socialstructure of farm families and non-farm families,” hesaid. Plus, the “decision-making” process on manyfarms today now involves both husband and wives,and younger members of the family if they are tran-sitioning into “membership responsibilities” in theoperation of the farm.

“We don’t have a shortage of farmers who want to‘begin’, but we do have a shortage of farmers wantingto quit,” Rosmann said. He pointed out that farmerstoday farm into their 70s, even into their 80s, thanksto technology and enterprise opportunities that have

substantially reduced the physical workload.

Obviously these changes are causing someissues. “It’s human nature that children andparents see things differently, perhaps evenmore so among farm families, because farm-ing is such a “hands-on” vocation. This strifeoften accelerates when someone who doesn’thave a country background marries into thefamily.

Rosmann also pointed out that women today areentering into farming at much higher rates thanformerly. “About 17 percent of all U.S. farmers todayare now women and they are getting into farming ata rate twice as fast as men,” he said.

The average farm size for women is about 220acres nationally versus about 440 acres for farmingoperations owned/operated by men. Also womenfarmers are more likely to specialize in organiccrops, specialized animal production (long-hairedsheep, for example), or direct farm to consumer pro-grams.

He said that about two-thirds of women farmersare married. He also said about 40 percent of farmwomen are “secondary operators” such as going tothe local Farm Service Agency office as needed, pro-

Q&A, from pg. 10Athe case with cropand livestock produc-tion, financial man-agement help nowcomes from the pri-vate sector. It costsmore, but the onesthat are in businessfor three to five yearsor more are worth it.

Q: Is there a sub-stantial differencebetween the stressload of farming today versus 30years ago?

Meyer: Thirty years ago would bethe 1980s. Except for the 1930s, farm-ers have never experienced morestress than the period 1975-85. Wehave a similar situation now withcommodity prices, land prices andcash rent at a high level.

I am sensing that there are enoughof us who experienced firsthand that

earlier stress periodand are going to bemore reserved. Thestakes in productionagriculture have neverbeen higher. But agloans are down, agequity is high, machin-ery has been updated,mostly to excess.

Homes have beenbuilt new or seriouslyremodeled, andbankers have basi-

cally lost control of farmer borrowing,because the equity is so great. All this“new equity” has allowed more land tobe bought and rented, thus operationsare getting larger.

With good management, farm opera-tions with 1,500 acres or more have aconsiderable net profit advantage. It isa different stress. We are stressed tostay on top, versus 30 years ago wewere stressed to get off the bottom tostay in business. ❖

HAZARD, from pg. 11Aviding additional help hauling grainand fetching parts, etc.Seeking outside counsel

How does a farmer find help? “Moreservices are being offered throughExtension; through Beginning Farm-ers programs; even through localchurches in some situations. Min-nesota has a Sustainable FarmingAssociation directed by John Mesko.The number of people who undertaketransition planning is slowly increas-ing,” Rosmann said.

Somewhat shocking is that about 40percent of farmers have neither a willnor a transition plan, Rosmann said.The tax consequences alone can behuge for the heirs. Rosmann suggestedthat getting a will or transition plan inwriting should be an immediate prior-ity.

Rosmann compliments farmers ontheir social awareness today. Obvi-ously the explosion of social media viae-mail, Facebook, Twitter and SmartPhones has speeded the entire process.So, too, has education, for mostyounger farmers have advanced train-ing beyond high school.

“Beginning farmers today average3.2 years of college. College-educatedfarmers are more likely to develop abusiness plan that does a systematicanalysis of their operation. In a sense,they take advantage of the resourcesavailable better. Farmers without thatextra education might have a few morehurdles,” he said.

Are we seeing more “behavioralhealth” issues among farmers because

of the high stakes of today’s farming?“Yes, behavioral health of farmers is

linked with their economic success. Atpresent, U.S. agriculture is in a fairlyoptimistic position. But agriculturecould fall apart rapidly if grain pricesdecline considerably.

“My summary advice to farmers isthat they need to stay ‘open minded’about seeking outside counsel, prefer-ably before the ‘stress syndrome’ startsripping at their personal health, theirfamily environment and their mar-riage.

“Feelings of success and coping aretied to the financial success of the farmoperation. Behavioral issues may infact be related to a farmer’s DNA,which programs their ability or lackthereof to reach out for assistance. Wenow have located on the humangenome the site which impacts depres-sion, anxiety and the struggles whenthings don’t go right.

“This bit of DNA helps us to be suc-cessful but it also has a cutting sidethat hurts us when we get to be over-whelmed with difficulties.”

Rosmann is working on a text bookthat explains the new knowledge ofhuman genomics and the implicationsof choosing a farming vocation. He haspopularized the term, Agrarian Imper-ative, as genetically programmedinstincts which may be driving thedecision-making processes of farmersand would-be farmers.

The objective is to better understandthe psychological factors that affectthe well-being of people engaged infarming. ❖

LAKE CRYSTAL, Minn. — When SsebaakijjeIsaac Mukisa asked farmer Brad Leiding how manysoybeans he produced on an acre of land, Leidingsaid he averaged about 50 bushels.

The amount meant nothing to the Ugandan soydistributor until he and Leiding figured out a con-version of bushels to pounds and then kilos. “Wow,”Mukisa said.

Mukisa and more than a dozen other bakers andfood distributors were a bit overwhelmed by thescale and production of American farms.

“In our country you grow maybe 10 acres for your-self, here you have thousands of acres,” Mukisa said.

The group stopped by Leiding’s Lake Crystal,Minn., farm the evening of Aug. 11, after spending aweek taking classes about baking with soy flour atthe Northern Crops Institute in Fargo, N.D. The visitis aimed at encouraging the use of soy flour, whichhas a higher protein level and other benefits overwheat flour.

Isaac Njoroge, a baker from Uganda, said farmingthere is only about 5 percent mechanized with mostwork done by hand. “The farms here are so muchadvanced, 100 times.” Dutliff Snyman, who owns afood consulting and distribution firm in South

Africa, has been to America before but hadn’t beforebeen immersed in farm country.

“For us, it’s amazing about the scope of your pro-duction. We’ve never seen this scale of farming.”

Yemisi Janet Enirayetan, a Nigerian food mar-keter, said her company already sells a lot of soyflour. “Most of our bakers use soy, but they need touse wheat flour, too.” Those bakers she said, rangefrom one-person operations that sell bread and otherbaked goods at markets, to large baking companies

that buy soy flour by the shipping container.The use of soy flour has increased in recent years,

in part because of a push to bring more protein-richsoy to developing countries by the World Initiativefor Soy in Human Health.

Josh Neiderman, of the Initiative, said the goal ofthe local two-day tour is to build relationshipsbetween those selling and using soy in Africa withthose who are producing soybeans. “They just wantto get experience on how soybeans are grown here.”

The tour, co-sponsored by the Minnesota SoybeanGrowers Association, continued the next day with atour of the Perry and Lou Ann Meyer and Justin andJody Enter farms near New Ulm, Minn. There werealso visits scheduled at the Klossner Feed Mill and atour of CHS soy processing plant in Mankato, Minn.

Besides being a major producer of soybeans, theMankato area is one of the world leaders in soy pro-cessing, with ADM, Cargill and CHS processing mil-lions of bushels of soybeans into oils, flour and mealfor human and animal feed.

Leiding, who is on the Soybean Growers board ofdirectors, said about half of Minnesota soybeans areexported, including a large amount of soy mealgoing to China for animal feed.

Drainage Water Management isretrofitting an existing tile systemwith a water control structurewhich makes it possible for opera-tors to directly manage water tablelevels. Thanks to some unseason-able dry seasons across portions ofthe Corn Belt the past couple ofyears, drainage management ispicking up interest.

At Farmfest, Phil Algreen, repre-senting the Agri Drain Corp. ofAdair, Iowa, was talking controlledtile drainage. He said moreresearch is now proving the merits of controlling thewater table in your cropland, especially as it relatesto better yields in a moisture-deficient season.

But he cautioned, “there are a lot ofvariables when you start talking aboutcontrolled drainage. The weather isalways changing and weather is the

single biggest determiner of potential increases incrop performance because of managing the flow ofwater through your tile system.

“In a normal weather season, it might be difficultto measure yield benefits. But in a low-rainfall sea-son yield advantages of 5 to 7 percent on corn and 2to 3 percent on soybeans are likely.”

More water available to your crops when they needit is the thrust of controlled drainage. Initially rec-ommended on soils of one-degree slope or less, sys-tems are now being installed in fields of 2 percent.

“Timing is critical in drainage water manage-ment,” Algreen said. “If you don’t save the waterwhen it’s available, it’s simply too late. So you’ve gotto have some anticipation, listen to local weather,and then react accordingly.”

The number of acres a given flow control structurecan handle depends upon the slope of your particularfield, but the goal is to maximize that number. “Andthat’s why flatter is better,” he said, noting that if onestructure can do 80 acres the cost is insignificant.

A water level control structure costs on averageabout $700, Algreen said. The water gate, the buriedunit that responds to the control structure, costs$600. He said 20 acres per system is doable in mostsituations but 40 acres is often a starting point.Obviously as slope increases, acreage controlled witha single unit tends to decrease.

“The 2012 drought jumped interest in controlleddrainage considerably,” Algreen said. “We’re seeingland owners install systems to fill a pond, develop awetland area for duck habitat, but land prices andcommodity prices are definitely putting drainagemanagement systems into more and more crop land.”

He said that cost-share money is available. He also

In a normal weather season, itmight be difficult to measure yieldbenefits. But in a low-rainfall sea-son yield advantages of 5 to 7percent on corn and 2 to 3 percenton soybeans are likely.

— Phil Algreen

Rewind

DRAINAGE, from pg. 14A said that producers are becoming moretuned into controlled water manage-ment because if something isn’t donevoluntarily, it may become mandated bygovernment agencies.

This could happen because ofunwanted byproducts of field drainage,specifically excess nitrates and phosphorousthat ultimately enter creeks and streams,and negatively impact the environment.

“You can measure a 30-percent to 60-percentreduction in nitrogen leaving crop fields once adrainage water management system is in place,”Algreen said.

He said that between 12 million and 15 millionacres of 1-percent-slope “flat land” exist in the Mid-west, suitable for drainage water management.

Working through your local Natural ResourcesConservation Service is the starting point for receiv-ing technical and financial assistance. The Environ-mental Quality Incentives Program, funded by theU.S. Department of Agriculture, is the source of

money for controlled water management projects.“Developing a plan through NRCS might cost

$1,800 to $2,000. But EQIP covers about 75 percentof that cost and will also pay about $600 per struc-ture, so financial assistance is significant,” saidAlgreen, who noted that a drainage water manage-ment system would likely change the pattern of yournew tile lines.

Operating instructions spell out:• Before tillage, remove riser boards to drop water

table levels about 10 days prior to planting field-work.

• During the growing season, stack riser boards toraise the water table high enough to provide capil-

lary water to the crop root zone.• Before harvest, remove boards to

lower water table.• After harvest install boards to raise

water table to hold nutrients in the soilover winter.

Talk of the Gulf of Mexico’s “DeadZone” continues to pin a large portion ofecological blame on Midwest farmers, but

drainage water management offers farmers a wayto control water; to fine-tune water delivery on afarmer’s terms. The objective is simple — Makedrainage tiles work both ways: Take excess wateroff, or hold it back when needed.

According to Algreen, the “Golden Rule of Drainage”is to drain only that which is necessary to ensure trafficability and crop production, and not a drop more.

MANKATO, Minn. — DuPont Pioneer celebratedthe opening of its new $2.5 million corn research cen-ter mid-August.

“This expansion is a direct result of our commit-ment to helping Minnesota growers place the rightproducts on their farms,” Steve Reno, vice president,regional business director-U.S., said in a statement.

“Testing products in the environment in which theywill be grown is essential to helping growers get themost out of their seed investment as they strive tohelp meet the growing global demand for food.”

The new facility provides space to accommodate thecontinued growth of the corn program within thecompany including supporting the IMPACT plotproduct advancement program, which selects the bestPioneer brand products to fit the local growing envi-ronment. This expansion includes renovation of exist-ing office space and development of a new site plandesigned to increase safety and efficiency.

Pioneer first established a research station inMankato in 1958 and built a center in the currentlocation in 1966. It was last remodeled and expandedin 1998. Since then, the center has experienced sub-stantial growth in the number and size of its researchprograms, which develop corn hybrids, commercializenew technologies and test next-generation productsfor growers in southern Minnesota.

DuPont Pioneer — www.pioneer.com — is theworld’s leading developer and supplier of advancedplant genetics, providing seeds to farmers in morethan 90 countries.

Welcome precipitation in Minnesota kept soil mois-ture levels mostly adequate during the week endingAug. 11, according to the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture National Agricultural Statistics Service. Nearlyall of Minnesota’s corn has reached the silking stage.Corn at the milk or beyond stage advanced 29 per-centage points to 43 percent. Seven percent of cornhad reached the dough stage, over two weeks behindlast year and nine days behind the five-year average.Corn conditions improved slightly to 61 percent goodor excellent.

However the delayed spring planting of corn thisspring along with cooler-than-average air tempera-tures the past several weeks has slowed the growthof corn (only 7 percent in the dough stage) in manyareas of southern Minnesota. In many fields the cal-endar dates of silking and pollination occurred laterthan normal.

A rule of thumb is that field grain corn requires 55to 60 days from the time of pollination until physio-logical maturity of the corn plant as indicated by thepresence of a “black layer” of dead plant cells at thecorn kernel point of attachment on the corn cob. Thiswould translate this year to around Oct. 1 or the firstweek of October for many area fields. Thus there is achance of an earlier-than-normal (Oct. 1-10) killingfrost which could affect final yield, maturity and testweight of grain corn.

Field grain corn will still need time after that todry to a combine/grain storage moisture for the yearas physiological maturity moisture is typically from30- to 35-percent moisture content. Hybrid maturity

differences in development time occur primarilyfrom emergence to silking, not from silking to matu-rity.

To predict whether corn will mature before frostnote the hybrid maturity, planting date and tassel-ing (silking) date of the field. For silage, add 42 to 47days on to this date to predict 50 percent kernelmilk, while for grain, add 55 to 60 days to predictmaturity. These dates are guidelines which willrequire further in-season decisions as the seasonunfolds. Another way to look at this is that whencorn begins the “dent stage” there are still 27 to 32days required until maturity for grain corn andsilage corn is still just 75 to 85 percent of maximumsilage yield.

Other field crops advanced in maturity as well asevidenced by the fact that 92 percent of the soybeancrop was at or beyond the blooming stage, comparedto the normal 95 percent. Fifty-eight percent of soy-beans were setting pods, 15 days behind last year.Soybean conditions improved slightly to 63 percentgood or excellent. In addition 83 percent of thespring wheat crop was turning ripe, behind the aver-age of 85 percent. Spring wheat conditions remainedat 63 percent good or excellent.Soybean aphid alert from Bruce Potter, Uni-versity of Minnesota integrated pest manage-ment specialist at Lamberton

Do not assume 2013 soybean aphid problems arenearly over. In portions of Minnesota, an increasingproportion of fields are projected to reach economic

threshold the week of Aug. 11. The large number oflate-planted fields may mean risk from soybeanaphids will be later in the season than usual. Theeconomic threshold is 250 aphids per plant, 80 per-cent of the plants with aphids present, aphid popu-lations increasing and soybeans are less than R6.

Unlike the spotty, early-season infestations createdby aphids from moving from buckthorn and colonizingsoybeans, current infestations are now much morewidespread. Over the past couple of weeks, migratingwinged aphids have created relatively uniform infes-tations in many fields. Recent weather had beenalmost ideal for aphid population increases.

As usual, the extent and level of infestations variesby geography, soybean maturity and other factors butin some areas of Minnesota, many fields are nowapproaching economic threshold. Over the next weekor so, it is important that Minnesota soybean produc-ers assess aphid populations in their fields.

Grain AnglesYour pre-harvest

checklistSo far, this year has been anything but ordinary,

especially for folks with a significant amount of pre-vented-plant acres. As I’ve been meeting with clientsthe past few weeks, it has become clear that planningfor this fall may require looking at things a bit differ-ently. Here are a few suggested items to add to yourpre-harvest checklist.Double-check your coverage

If you are an owner of a multi-peril crop insurance policy, yourschedule of insurance should bearriving from your agent soon. Ifthere was ever a year to putreviewing acres and coveragehigh on your priority list, this isit. Making changes to your policylater this fall may prove to be dif-ficult or near impossible. There iscertainly a higher likelihood ofhaving a payable loss this fall,especially on corn revenue poli-cies.

If the December corn contract continues to trade atcurrent levels through October, producers who havepurchased higher levels of revenue insurance, like 80to 85 percent, will have a bushel guarantee per acrethat is close to their actual production history.Although we are hearing about the great potentialyields of this corn crop nationally, many in our areaare not expecting an above-average crop.Stress test your marketing plan for volatility

Whether a grain producer or an end-user, makesure your marketing plan is ready for the volatilitywe could potentially experience this fall. We have alot of acres nationally that need a favorable fall tomature. An early frost could be devastating to our

Grain OutlookWeather, croptour highlights

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing Aug. 23.

CORN — Weather and the Midwest Crop Tourwere the featured highlights for the week. Cornstarted the week out with a nice 22-cent rally whenweekend rains failed to material-ize, only to give it back through-out the week.

December corn managed toclose the week with a 6 1/2-centgain at $4.70 per bushel, afterhitting a weekly high of $4.86 3/4per bushel. The September con-tract was much more impressiveas it performs as an old crop con-tract. Farmer selling was slowand we need to keep bushels inthe pipeline with the help of boththe futures and the basis. Sep-tember corn jumped 21 3/4 centshigher for the week to close at $4.95 1/2 per bushel. Itdid hit $5 on Friday when the September optionsexpired.

The Midwest Crop tour calculated the U.S. corncrop at 13.46 billion bushels using a yield of 154.1bushels per acre. This is 303 million bushels lessthan the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Augustestimate of 13.763 billion bushels. The yields weresimilar with the tour only 0.3 bu./acre less than theUSDA. In a state-by-state breakdown of the statescovered: Ohio, 168; Indiana, 163; Illinois, 164; Iowa,163; Minnesota, 163; Nebraska, 161 and SouthDakota, 142 bu./acre. The tour’s crop estimate wasbased on 1.8 million less harvested acres. Crop condi-tions as of Aug. 18 declined 3 percent in thegood/excellent category to 61 percent and are

Livestock AnglesCash steady,

futures driftingThe livestock markets have had some interesting

weeks in August. The cattle market has been unusu-ally quiet and firm, while the hog market has whatappears to be a seasonal top.

The cash cattle market has been grinding away atnear-steady to slightly betterprices, while at the same time thecattle futures have been slowlydrifting lower. The beef cutoutshave seen improvement over thepast several weeks and appear tohave bottomed, presenting thepackers with better margins.

This has allowed the biddingfor live animals more flexibilityand thus improving prices in thecash market. The futures, on theother hand, have seen the posi-tive basis shrink away and closein on the current live price.

On Aug. 23, the U.S. Department of Agriculturereleased the Monthly Cattle on Feed Report. Theresults are as follows: on-feed Aug. 1, 94 percent;placements in July, 90 percent; and marketed in July,105 percent. The report was seen as friendly prima-rily due to the placement number and the bettermarketed number. This obviously suggests that fromthe supply standpoint, cattle numbers will be tight.

However, from the demand side of the equation,domestic demand has continued to be poor and hasslowed over the past year. If it weren’t for the exportdemand, the overall demand for beef would com-pletely offset the supply of cattle.

With economic conditions not improving, it will behard for the cattle market to make a long-term sus-

NYSTROM, from pg. 18Aexpected to show another decreaseas of Aug. 25.

Weekly export sales were mediocre at 2.3 millionbushels with new crop sales neutral at 17.1 millionbushels. Total new crop commitments are 416.2 mil-lion bushels versus only 309 million on the bookslast year at this time. We need this to continue sincethe USDA is projecting 2013-14 corn exports toincrease 71 percent year on year. Following up on theUSDA’s plan to buy sugar from processors and sell itto ethanol plants, sugar processors are reportedly ontrack to sell 90,150 tons of sugar to the USDA. Thereare rumors that a firm may reopen an ethanol plantand use sugar as a feed source. Weekly ethanol pro-duction was down 13,000 barrels per day this weekto 844,000 barrels/day.

OUTLOOK: December corn’s range now stands with$4.45 3/4 as support and $4.86 3/4 as resistance. If con-ditions warrant, a push to $5 may be possible. Weatheris key going forward for new crop. We need heat for thecrop to mature, but not so much that we hurt the yieldpotential. We need rain, but not so much as to delaymaturity. Premiums for old crop bushels should con-tinue until we see harvest begin in earnest somewherein the Corn Belt. Harvest in the South has begun, butperiods of rain haven’t let it go full force. There havealso been reports of some quality problems due to latewet conditions. Looking ahead, if an unexpected rainevent appears we will backtrack quickly; if not, we’lllean higher.

SOYBEANS — November soybeans have rallied$1.45 3/4 per bushel in the last two weeks. Care toventure why? Of course, it’s the weather.

Forecasts for hot and dry conditions through theend of August and its effects on how the crop will fin-ish, combined with a lack of any grower selling, havesent prices soaring. At the whim of Mother Nature itcould all disappear, but November soybeans closed attheir highest level since June 7 this week at $13.28,

up 68 3/4 cents per bushel for the week.This puts the 2013 high at $13.50 3/4 per

bushel as the next target.The Midwest Crop Tour’s final results

were released after the close onFriday, pegging the U.S. soy-bean yield at 41.8 bu./acrecompared to the USDA’slatest 42.6 bu./acre fore-cast. They projected thebean crop at 3.158 bil-lion bushels (taking800,000 off the har-vested acres), down97 million bushelsfrom the USDA’sAugust estimate of3.255 billion bushels.If you take the differ-ence straight off the bot-tom line of the balancesheet, next year’s carryoutis only 123 million bushels.Depending on how the pods filland whether we avoid an early freeze,this makes many wonder if the USDA’s 220 millionbushel 2013-14 carryout is too big.

The state-by-state yield breakdown for touredstates: Ohio and Indiana, 48; Illinois, 46; Iowa, 43;Minnesota, 40; Nebraska, 46 and South Dakota, 36bu./acre. One thing to note on the tour’s bean esti-mate, they count pods, but studies have found thereis virtually no correlation between number of podsand final yield. Weather will still be the dominateforce in what the final crop size will be.

Export sales this week were only 800,000 for oldcrop as the crop year winds down. New crop saleswere big at 34 million bushels. Of the total sales onthe books for new crop of 619 million bushels,China’s portion is about 505 million bushels. Therewere rumors floating during the week that China

was buying beans from South America.OUTLOOK: If the weather is still questionable next

week, the $13.50 3/4 resistance will likely be taken out,opening the door for ...? First support lies at the gap leftthis week from $12.72 to $12.72 1/2, then the 100-day

moving average at $12.50 per bushel.August weather determines the bean crop andit hasn’t been ideal with heat and limited rain-

fall recently. Since the crop went in late, weneed additional time on the calendar to max-imize yield. Last week’s crop conditionswere down 2 percent and are anticipated tofall further as of Aug. 25. Turning to oldcrop beans, demand is back and basis isimproving; just don’t overstay your wel-come if you still have old crop to sell.Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for

the week ending Aug. 23: December Min-neapolis wheat fell 13 1/4 cents on har-

vest pressure, Kansas City was down anickel while Chicago gained 2 1/2 cents per

bushel. October crude oil declined 87 cents to$106.42, September ultra-low-sulfur diesel was 1.2

cents higher, reformulated blendstock for oxygenateblending rallied nearly 4 cents and natural gas rose11 3/4 cents.

Why have beans rallied? You guessed it; weather

TEALE, from pg. 18Atained rally without some improvement in the eco-nomic picture. Producers should be aware of marketconditions and protect inventories on any sharp ral-lies.

The hog market has shown that the normal sea-sonal top that comes nearly every summer did notmiss a beat again this year. Cash hog prices havebeen on the decline since the middle of Augustreflecting the chance that that high is now in place.The futures market had already anticipated thistopping event and remains a deep discount to thecurrent cash price.

In addition, the pork cutout has declined from itshigh made in early August and appears to be inretreat for the near future. Because of the competi-tive nature of the consumer to the prices in themeats, one would suspect if the disparity betweenthe retail price of beef exceeds the retail price ofpork, there will be a switch to the lesser expensivepork. This could help hold hog prices from any realsharp declines if beef prices hold current levels orrise much further.

The demand for pork has remained fairly goodthroughout the year and could end up being thesupportive factor that slows the downward move inhog prices. Producers should be cognizant of themarket conditions and protect inventories whennecessary. ❖

Hog market following a pattern

Proactively communicate with your marketingadvisers and grain merchandiser to discuss how dif-ferent scenarios may impact your operation. Don’tforget to consider the part that basis may play in ourprice changes this fall; it is a price risk not coveredby multi-peril crop insurance revenue policies.Start your income tax planning earlier thanusual

Have you looked at your taxable income year-to-date? It may surprise you. Many of my grain clientsare sitting on the largest taxable income levels theyhave had in their careers. At the same time, they areanticipating lower income in 2014 because of lowerprices and fewer bushels. Getting a plan in placebefore harvest to target your fall income andexpenses just makes sense.

We also have had unusual events impacting tax-

able incomes — like prevent-plant crop insurancepayments and reimbursements back to producers forunused seed and fertilizer on prevent-plant acres —that need to be considered. The earlier you get a han-dle on your income and where you want to be, themore options you will have to get yourself there.

As we close the door on summer and look ahead tofall, we are facing a lot of uncertainty in the grainindustry. We all know that there is nothing we can doto impact the weather, the markets or the nationalharvest, but planning ahead and being prepared canmake a big difference in the success of your opera-tion. One can only hope that the weather will cooper-ate more this fall than it did this spring.

This column was writtenfor the marketing week end-ing Aug. 23.

U.S. milk production in thetop 23 dairy states in Julytotaled 15.7 billion pounds,according to the U.S.Department of Agriculture’spreliminary estimate in thisweek’s Milk Productionreport, up 1.2 percent fromJuly 2012.

The 50 state total, at16.775 billion pounds,was up 1.1 percent. Thetotal was lower thanexpected, according to the Daily DairyReport, while others say it was morethan expected. Revisions increased theJune estimate by 1 million pounds, to15.8 billion, up 1.7 percent from 2012.

California was down 3.5 percent fromJuly 2012 while Wisconsin was up 2.9percent. New York was up 3 percent,Idaho was off 1.1 percent. Pennsylva-nia was up 5.3 percent and Minnesotawas up 2.9 percent.

The biggest loss was in California,

followed by Arizona, down 2percent; Idaho; then Oregon,off 0.9 percent. The biggestincrease occurred in Kansas,up 10.8 percent; Iowa, up 8.6percent; Indiana, up 7.6 per-cent; Colorado, up 5.5 per-cent; Texas, up 5.3 percent;Washington, up 3.8 percent;Michigan; up 3.1 percent;and Ohio, up 3 percent.

We have one more“sequestered” Milk Produc-

tion report and then theUSDA will again pro-vide cow numbers and

output per cow data.After a slowdown in June, the USDA

estimated 250,700 culled dairy cowswere slaughtered under federal inspec-tion in July, up 30,400 from June, and11,700 more than July 2012. The Janu-ary-to-July 2013 total was estimated at1.818 million head, 55,300 more thanthe same period in 2012.

DairyBusiness Update reports that, ofthe July total, about 27 percent (68,100head) came from the USDA’s Zone 9

(Arizona, California, Hawaii andNevada). Obviously, most culling camefrom Arizona and California, sinceNevada (29,000) and Hawaii (2,000)had just 31,000 cows combined in 2012.

Through the first seven months of theyear, 2013 dairy cow slaughter is wellon its way to surpassing last year’stotal of 3.1 million, the highest total in26 years. The USDA began differentiat-ing dairy cow slaughter from total cowsin 1986. Before 2012, dairy cow slaugh-ter topped 3 million only twice: in 1986,at 3.595 million (whole herd buy-outprogram); and 1996, at 3.037 million,according to the DBU.

■

Jerry Dryer, editor of the Dairy andFood Market Analyst, said in Friday’sDairyLine broadcast that the Milk Pro-duction report was bullish in that thegrowth in consumption is “crankingalong at that rate or faster,” but hugeproduct inventories hanging over the

market makes it bearish.He added that dairy producers have

“$4 corn dancing in their heads; we’regoing to have a lot more milk the restof the year so I’ve gotten very bearishon the milk price.”

The report also shows production isstruggling and below a year ago in theWest, significantly higher in the Mid-west, and a little higher in the East,he said, possibly meaning a little morecheese and a little less butter andpowder.

MIELKE, from pg. 21A$1.6425, down 12.25 cents on the weekand 16 cents below a year ago.

Sixteen cars of block and eight of bar-rel traded hands on the week. TheAgricultural Marketing Service-sur-veyed U.S. average block price hit$1.7628, up 3.2 cents. Barrels averaged$1.8043, up 3.1 cents.

Looking “back to the futures,” secondhalf federal order 2013 Class III con-tracts portended an $18.48 per hun-dredweight average on June 14. Thatfigure slipped to $18.34 June 21,$17.87 on June 28, $18.02 on July 5,$17.91 on July 12, $18.33 on July 19,$17.88 on July 26, $17.84 on Aug. 2,$17.66 on Aug. 9, $17.74 on Aug. 16,and was trading around $17.51 late-morning Aug. 23, including theannounced July Class III price.

Manufacturers and buyers are con-templating strategies for the fourthquarter and 2014, according to theUSDA’s Dairy Market News. Domesticcheese sales are reported as good withinventories clearing on a timely basis.Export demand is also good as pricesare below much of the internationaltrade. Adequate milk supplies across

the United Statesleaves everyone prettyconfident the milk willbe there.

“The push for milk going into fluidfor the reopening of schools haspeaked,” said Bill Brooks, economistwith INTL FCStone. “That with cooler-than-normal weather through much ofthe summer has made more milk avail-able to manufacturers.”

■

Cash butter did well, closing Fridayat $1.3950, up 2.5cents on the week but40.25 cents below a year ago. Ten carswere sold on the week. AMS butteraveraged $1.4366, down 1.6 cents.

Butter production varies in regions,according to the DMN. Western produc-tion is mostly steady, with plants gear-ing up for fall needs. Sales to groceryand club stores remain good. Centralbutter demand is flat and inventoriesare called “burdensome” at some facili-ties. Unless orders are in hand, mostmanufacturers are reluctant to churnbutter. Northeast butter demand wastermed as flat.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closedFriday at $1.80, up a half-cent on theweek. Extra Grade finished at $1.78,

up 3 cents. AMS powderaveraged $1.7713, up0.6 cent, and dry whey

averaged 57.62 cents/lb., up 0.2 cent.■

Product inventory indeed hangs overthe markets. The USDA’s latest ColdStorage data shows July 31 butterstocks at 295.8 million pounds, down23.1 million or 7 percent from June but61.4 million or 26 percent above thosea year ago.

The Daily Dairy Report points outthat the typical July drawdown in but-ter stocks is 5.6 million pounds, so thisdrawdown was four times greater.“Nevertheless, butter stocks exceededprior-year levels by 26 percent andremain burdensome.”

High Ground Dairy’s Eric Meyer addsthat the USDA made a “relevant” 5.2million pound downward revision toJune butter stocks which made themonthly declines all the more substan-tial at 23.1 million pounds. He said thiswas the largest June-to-July drawdownon a percentage basis since 1998 butcautions, “take our slightly bullish takeon this report in perspective.

“The United States still has nearly300 million pounds of butter sitting in

freezers around the country. It is goingto take a demand miracle to bringthose numbers down to more-normallevels by the end of the year.

“But if we got this kind of start inJuly with butter prices declining fromthe low-$1.50s to the mid-$1.40sthroughout the month, imagine whatmight happen with prices at their low-est levels in nearly 15 months inAugust.”

He sees a “seasonal bump in prices”over the next 30 days “but getting past$1.60 for an extended period of timemay prove to be a challenge given cur-rent fundamentals.”

McWilliam, who willserve as the official good-will ambassador for nearly 4,000 Min-nesota dairy farmers, is the 60thwoman to hold the honor. McWilliamis the daughter of Bruce and LaVonneMcWilliam of Winger, and attendsNorth Dakota State University,majoring in English education with a

Norwegian language emphasis.County dairy princesses from

throughout Minnesota competedfor the Princess Kay of the MilkyWay title. Rachael Rostad ofWanamingo, representing Good-hue County, and Katie Schmitt ofRice, representing BentonCounty, were selected as runners-up. Alydia Lee of Lake City, rep-resenting Wabasha County, was

named Miss Congeniality.Scholarships were awarded to

Johanna Knorr of Pelican Rapids, rep-resenting West Otter Tail County;Libby Mills of Lake City, representingGoodhue County; and Schmitt.

McWilliam’s first official duty asPrincess Kay was to sit in a rotatingcooler in the Dairy Building for aboutsix hours on the opening day of theMinnesota State Fair to have her like-ness sculpted in a 90-pound block ofbutter. Each of the other finalists willhave her likeness carved in butter dur-ing the fair, as well. This year marksbutter sculptor Linda Christensen’s42nd year carving the Princess Kay ofthe Milky Way winner and finalists atthe Minnesota State Fair.

Throughout her year-long reign asPrincess Kay of the Milky Way,McWilliam will make public appear-ances helping consumers make a con-nection with Minnesota dairy farm

families who are dedicated to produc-ing wholesome milk while caring fortheir animals and natural resources.

MIELKE, from pg. 23Aupdate. Utah and Idaho supplies aresteady and up a bit in California andArizona.

Australian milk production is mostly steady toslightly higher, according to the DMN, with the pro-duction season at the lower point of the trough. NewZealand output is “idling in low gear ahead of antic-ipated growth as the new season begins.”

News of product contamination ofwhey protein concentrate indicates

that several countries have stoppedimportation of WPC and other products. The restric-tions and implications are being assessed andaddressed although another issue with New Zealandmilk powder in China has made the news however itdid not pose a food safety risk, according to Meyer.

New Zealand-based Westland Milk Productsannounced that a small amount of lactoferrin pow-der with elevated nitrate levels was exported to

China. The product has been traced and quarantinedwithin China and all of Westland’s lactoferrin intheir warehouse has been put on hold for testing.

A century ago, legislative appropria-tions allowed for the purchase of 246acres near Waseca, Minn., for the estab-lishment of the Southeast Demonstra-tion Farm and Experiment Station.

The goal of this new facility was todemonstrate the value of good man-agement and serve as a center for dis-semination of knowledge. Over theyears, development of new technolo-gies and innovative production prac-tices has made positive impacts on

food production systems, humanhealth, renewable energy and the envi-ronment.

Currently, there are seven academicresearch programs at the SouthernResearch and Outreach Center withsupported outreach components thatintegrate all aspects of agriculture in aforward-thinking manner.

That century of research and educa-tion is being celebrated 3-8 p.m. Sept.19 at the SROC on the west edge of

Waseca, with a wide variety of inform-ative displays, door prizes, games andfun events. There will also be a freepicnic meal from 4:30-7 p.m.

Although significant changes haveoccurred over the past 100 years, thegoal continues to be focused on servingthe people of southern Minnesotathrough world-class research and out-reach programs. Needless to say, it isnot all about the facility — it is aboutpeople. The SROC would not be where

it is today without talented staff, sup-portive communities and industrypartners.

Visitors to the celebration are guar-anteed to leave with lasting memoriesas they walk through the commemora-tive display of historical photos thatreflect on 100 years of service to agri-culture.

Many homeowners start forgetting about their lawnthis time of year. However, this is the ideal time for usingpost-emergence chemical applications for weed control.According to the University of Minnesota Extension,post-emergence herbicides may be applied any time theweeds are actively growing, the air temperature is 60 to80 degrees Fahrenheit, there are no winds, and there isno rain in the forecast for 48 hours. Most effective controlof perennial broadleaf weeds is obtained when applied inearly fall (Aug. 15-Oct. 15) or in spring (May 1-June 1).For some weeds, repeated application at 20- to 30-dayintervals may be required for control.

For dandelions, use 2, 4-D or a combination of 2, 4-D,MCPP (Mecoprop) and dicamba can also be utilized.The ideal timing for applying these products for dan-delion control is September. The non-chemical optionis to manually dig out the plants. A weeding fork anddandelion diggers may be a couple of options for thattask. Get as much of the dandelion root as you can sothe dandelion does not start growing again.

For creeping charlie, use a combination of 2, 4-D andMCPP or a combination of 2, 4-D, MCPP and dicamba.The ideal timing for applying these products to creep-ing charlie is in September or autumn once tempera-tures have cooled to the 60s and 70s. The non-chemicalapproaches are to pull the plant out or utilize adethatching rake. It may be necessary to start overwith the lawn if the creeping charlie gets out of control.

Most other broadleaf weeds can be controlled byherbicide applications of 2, 4-D and/or a combinationof 2,4-D, MCPP and dicamba. It is always a good ideato know what you are spraying to be sure that the her-

bicide will control the desired pest. The herbicide labelshould list the weeds it will control. Another option isto utilize a non-selective herbicide like glyphosate.Use of these types of products should only be usedwhen spot spraying targeted weed pests. Drift on tolawns and ornamental plants will injure or kill thedesired plants as well as the targeted weed pests.

A healthy lawn is important to limit the competitionof lawn weeds. Work on improving the lawn while try-

ing to slow down and eliminate weed competition. Tryto seed grass into bare areas of the lawn, fertilize andaerate your lawn this fall to help it compete againstthe weeds. When using herbicides, read and follow allof the directions for using the specific product.

This article was submitted by Nathan Winter, Uni-versity of Minnesota Extension agricultural produc-tions systems educator for McLeod and Meeker(Minn.) counties. ❖

Blue-winged teal, duck hunters willagree, are fair weather fowl.

Come fall, the slightest frosty morn-ing can be cause for the diminutivewaterfowl to pack up and head forwarmer climes.

Indeed, some states hold specialteal-only seasons as early as mid-Sep-tember to allow hunters to targetbirds that otherwise might havemigrated from the area only a few

weeks later.

In years past, when the Minnesotawaterfowl opener was set at the Satur-day closest to Oct. 1, many of Min-nesota’s resident blue-winged tealalready had flown the coop by the timeopening day rolled around.

Nevertheless, blue-winged teal, alongwith wood ducks — another earlymigrator — still comprise a good per-centage of Minnesota duck hunters’

opening day bags.

This should be particularlytrue for the 2013 Minnesotawaterfowl opener which hasbeen set for Sept. 21, lessthan a month away.

The last time the duckhunting season opened soearly was way back in 1945.Last year, the season openednearly as early — Sept. 22.While Minnesota’s duck sea-son traditionally had been tied to anOct. 1 reference, federal frameworkguidelines allowed for a season tied tothe Saturday nearest to Sept. 24.

A policy change a couple of years agonow allows for the earlier opening inMinnesota.

The season andstructure whichwas announcedearlier this monthwill remain essen-tially the same aslast year.

That means theduck season willrun for 60 days innorth, central andsouthern zones, allof them opening onSept. 21.

In the NorthDuck Zone, northof Highway 210,the duck seasonwill run continu-ously through Nov.19.

In the CentralDuck Zone, it willremain openthrough Sept. 29.The season willresume Oct. 5 andrun through Nov.24.

Shooting hoursare a half-hourbefore sunrise until 4 p.m., throughOct. 5 and until sunset for the remain-der of the seasons.

The South Duck Zone, south of High-way 212, the duck season will alsoremain open through Sept. 29, beforeclosing. It will resume Oct. 12 and thencontinue through Dec. 1.

Daily bag limits remain at six ducksdaily. Species limits remain the same aslast year with the exception of scaupwhere the limit has dropped from four to

three birds and the canvas-back limit which increasesfrom one to two birds daily.

Another change this yearis that possession limits,which for years have beenset by federal regulations totwice the daily limit, havebeen increased to threetimes the daily limit. Theincrease applies to allmigratory bird species.

While a special goose managementhunt has been under way in parts ofwest-central Minnesota since Aug. 10,the special early September Canadagoose season gets under way statewideon Sept. 1, continuing through Sept. 21.

Bag limits are 10 per day in theIntensive HarvestZone and five perday in the remain-der of the state.

Hunters shouldnote that there arerestrictions abouthunting within100 yards of sur-face water in sev-eral locationsincluding SwanLake and sur-rounding area.

The regulargoose season willopen with theduck seasonstatewide on Sept.21. Bag limits arethree per day.

The goose seasonswill be closed in theCentral and SouthDuck HuntingZones at those timeswhen the duck sea-son is closed.

In the NorthZone, geese can behunted throughDec. 16. In the

Central and South Duck Zones, goosecan be hunted through Dec. 21, andDec. 28, respectively.

More details on all migratory birdhunting seasons are available online atwww.dnr.state.mn.us.

THE OUTDOORS

By John Cross

Hunters should find improvednumbers of most waterfowl speciesfor the 2013 hunting season, based onspring waterfowl surveys conductedby the Minnesota Department ofNatural Resources.

The breeding duck population inMinnesota was estimated at 683,000,compared to last year’s figure of469,000. Mallard numbers were293,000, up 30 percent from 225,000in 2012.

That’s 10 percent above the long-term average.

Blue-winged teal population was144,000, up from the 109,000estimated last year but down a thirdfrom the long-term average. All otherduck species combined were up 82percent from 2012 levels and 39percent above the long-term average.

Canada goose numbers wereestimated at 250,000 this past spring,down from a 2012 estimate of416,000.

Recently we received aphone call from a panickedfarm wife just up the road.Her husband had been seri-ously injured while workingon the farm and she neededsomeone to call for help andbe with her as she fearfullywatched it all unfold beforeher.

Our family arrived aboutthe same time as the localrescue unit, followed by thequickly-arriving ambulance.Rescue personnel hovered over him,and our friend was swooped away inthe ambulance. He was then air-liftedout. We watched the helicopter take offfrom the hospital and fly away until wecouldn’t see it anymore, our heartsheavy in the darkness of that latenight, hoping and praying for the bestfor our good friend and neighbor. Wehad done what we could do for him,and for them; the rest wasn’t up to us.

It got me to thinking about whyfarmers do what they do — and for solong.

And the truth is, I don’t know if any-one knows the answer to that question.

There are a lot of occupations thatare all-consuming. But farmers takethat to a whole new level. Often timesit’s out of necessity. After all, unlessthey have your same last name, it’s dif-ficult to find people who want to workon the farm. And having the same lastname doesn’t always guarantee thehelp. There is a lot to do — especiallyfor livestock farmers — and not a lot ofhelp is readily available.

They work against all odds —weather, markets, government regula-tions, finances, fatigue, frustration anddangerous machinery and situations.And sometimes those things comedown on the farmer all at once. Thereare probably people who need morecoping skills than farmers, but at themoment, I don’t know who it would be.

We recalled this neighbor of ourswho, many years ago when cattle priceswere very low, approached his bankerto secure a loan to get more cattle.After a lengthy discussion between thetwo, the cattle trucks made their wayto his yard and the four-legged cargowas unloaded. Asked why he wantedmore cows when the cattle marketblood bath raged on, he said, “Becauseit’s what I know how to do.”

Simply put, that’s just the way it iswith farmers. They don’t do it for themoney. They don’t do it because it’seasy. They don’t even do it because it’sgreat for marriages.

My father, who worked as hard asanyone I know, was committed to thislife. My mother, a city girl who said shenever really adjusted to life on thefarm in the 50-plus years she lived onone, once heard the farm described as“the farmer’s mistress.” I know thereare many who feel that way, and it’snot because the farmer husband does-n’t care. It’s because he loves what hedoes with the kind of honesty, loyalty,work ethic and passion needed by any-one who is driven to be good at whatthey do. And it takes all of him to getthat job done — especially when farmhelp is scarce, and the work is piled up.

He loves it, he hates it. He’s too busyfor his own good. He has to learn to doeverything himself in order to afford it.He has to learn to fix machinery so it

will last another year. He has to be ontop of animal health issues. He has toknow his cost of production and be agood business thinker. He has to runlong days on little sleep. He has toknow and teach safety around machin-ery and livestock. An unprotected andrunning PTO shaft — or an angry sowor a protective cow who has just givenbirth — can wreak massive havoc on afarmer’s body in short order. He mustbe determined to never give up no mat-ter what kind of bad things happen. Hemust always be on top of his game.

Yet he dreams for his children to lovethis lifestyle as well. With all of thegood and bad that comes with choosinglife on the farm, he takes it in stride

and mixes them both together gently.Most importantly, he not only tells hischildren, but shows them with his ownexample and sweat equity that with-out agriculture, our world has nothing.

As we watched our 75-year-oldneighbor being air-lifted away, wetalked about the fact that he had beendoing the work he loved doing all ofhis life. Whether or not we understandwhy farmers choose this life, we knowfor certain that they would ratherhave their hands in the soil until theirlast breath, than spend time in a rock-ing chair.

It’s in their hearts and in theirblood. It’s their will and their purposein this life.

And that’s why the farmer farms ...until the last gate has been closedbehind him.

Why does the farmer farm? It’s in their heart and bloodThey work against all odds — weather, markets,government regulations, finances, fatigue, frus-tration and dangerous machinery and situations.And sometimes those things come down on thefarmer all at once. There are probably peoplewho need more coping skills than farmers, butat the moment, I don’t know who it would be.

There are many foods that natu-rally go together: Steak andbaked potato, cereal and milk,pretzels and beer ... and inthe South, shrimp and grits.

Today’s column is devoted tomy version of shrimp and grits.If you get a chance to eat at JackFry’s in Louisville, Ky., their takeon shrimp and grits is a classic.The shrimp are pan-seared andthe cheesy grits are served with adelicious red-eye gravy. In fact,you can Google it and find the full recipe online.

My version is outdoorsy by utilizing hot coals, anda bit spicy with the addition of Cajun seasoning anda tomato-based barbecue sauce.

First, buy nice shrimp. I like to use 10-15 count,meaning there are roughly 10 to 15 shrimp perpound. These are the perfect size for skewering. Inmy area, they are typically frozen. If you can getthem fresh, more power to you. We used 2 poundsfor this dinner, and we had leftovers. Let the shrimpthaw (unless fresh) and then take the shell off andremove the mud vein. Skewer the shrimp withwooden skewers that have been soaked. Piercethrough the meaty part and then through the tail sothey resemble a “C” shape. The shrimp can touchbut should not be crammed together.Cheesy Grits

1 cup instant grits

3 cups whole milk1 cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheeseSalt and pepper to tasteWarm the milk over medium heat to the point

where you start to see some bubbling at the sides.You have to stir the milk the entire time to keep itfrom burning on the bottom. Slowly stir in the grits.Stir until you have the creamy consistency of cookedgrits. Add salt and pepper to taste. Now, stir in thecheese. Continue stirring until it is melted into thegrits, and that’s all there is to it.

Create a sauce by placing 1 cup of your favoritebarbecue sauce (we used “Sweet Baby Rae” for thisdish) in a small pot. Bring to a simmer while stir-ring. Now, add 1/2 cup of your favorite beer. Stir untilfully mixed. The beer helps cut the sweetness of theBBQ sauce.

Sprinkle your favorite Cajun seasoning on bothsides of the skewered shrimp. Now apply the sauceliberally to both sides of the shrimp. Place shrimpover hot coals. This can be done on a gas grill, too.The shrimp won’t take long, maybe three minutes onone side and two minutes on the other side. Don’tovercook the shrimp as they will turn to rubber. Theywill be done when they have a pink color to them.

To serve, place a helping of grits on the plate. Nowput three to four grilled shrimp on the grits. Drizzlewith the BBQ-beer sauce. Quick, easy, Southern anddelicious. Enjoy!

Strong bones, joints, liga-ments and muscles arevital to healthy movementand a healthy lifestyle inanimals. Now, when thesefunctions go awry in a petdue to unhealthy habits orunfortunate circumstances,a pet’s quality of life canstill be sustained due tothe modern-day proce-dures of orthopedics inveterinary medicine.

Sharon Kerwin, profes-sor at the Texas A&M Col-lege of Veterinary Medicine & Biomed-ical Sciences and a specialist inorthopedics and neurosurgery, said thatorthopedics is the treatment or preven-tion of conditions affecting the bones,joints, ligaments and muscles. Kerwinsaid that orthopedic procedures in ani-mals are much more advanced thanmost people are aware.

“We perform many of the same typesof procedures that are available fortreatment of similar problems inhumans, with the goal of getting theinjured animal back to normal activi-ties as quickly and comfortably as pos-sible,” Kerwin said.

Kerwin said that two of the mostcommon problems she sees in dogs andcats are cranial cruciate ligament dis-ease (similar to an ACL tear inhumans) and hip dysplasia. Twentyyears ago, affected patients of theseproblems would have resulted in cases

of crippling osteoarthritis. For-tunately, with today’s modernconveniences and knowledge-able specialists, thesepatients may enjoy full recov-

eries.“On the large animal side,

there is an active sports medi-cine, lameness and trauma

service that providesarthroscopy (minimally inva-

sive surgery using an arthro-scope to treat damage in theinterior of the joint) and frac-

ture repair for horses and otherlarge animal species,” Kerwin said.

“Our exotic and zoo animal serviceoften sees birds, pocket pets and exoticanimals with bone and joint problems,many of which can be treated success-fully.”

Orthopedic diseases have not yetbeen confirmed to be related to justhereditary or environmental condi-tions. A lot of research has been tar-geted toward the inherited basis of themore common orthopedic diseases. Ker-win suggests that orthopedic problemscan spur from both aspects.

“There is definitely a hereditary basisfor hip dysplasia, with multiple genesinvolved,” Kerwin said. “Environmentplays a big role as well, with diet andexercise as key factors involved in thedevelopment of signs of problems inaffected animals.

Preventive measures are always

important for owners to keep in mind,and there are many preventive meas-ures that may help alleviate futureorthopedic diseases.

Kerwin suggests that the best thingyou can do to prevent many diseases isto keep your pet healthy and in-shape.This will not only help to ease orthope-dic diseases, but it will help in allaspects of your pet’s livelihood.

Kerwin explains that, “research indogs indicates that dogs kept in anappropriate body condition will live twoyears longer than their overweightcounterparts, which is a very long time

in dog years. In addition, their risk forosteoarthritis is much lower.”

Kerwin is enthusiastic about whereveterinary orthopedics has come. But,she also understands what is possiblein the future and that there are a cou-ple of challenges to face.

IIn an area of Minnesota that wassettled by German and Irishimmigrants, it is striking to see a

church building that suggests you arein northern France. But the CatholicChurch of the Visitation in Danversoffers that refreshing sight.

Rosemary Barth’s great-great-grandparents are buried in the ceme-tery and she grew up in the congrega-tion. She researched old newspaperarticles and put together a scrapbook.

According to the articles, a grass firegot out of control in April of 1931 and

got sucked into the original wood-frame building through a coal chute.The structure burned to the ground.The congregation immediately startedplans to rebuild. The cornerstone waslaid in August, and before the yearwas over, the first service was held inthe new building on Christmas Eve.

The handsome structure is built ofbrick and stone in French Normandystyle, with a Norman spire topping thetower. Decorative dormers and but-tresses, and symmetry in the rooflineand windows, pleasantly draw the eye

to this hilltop house of worship.The 90-foot by 40-foot structure, with

heating plant and all, cost about$36,000. The congregation saved $600when the excavation was done voluntar-ily by members of the parish. Accordingto the articles, the architect was Cyril P.Pesek of Minneapolis. The design wasprobably the work of Pesek’s new part-ner in 1931, Glynne Shifflet. Shifflet hadstudied at the Fontainebleau School ofFine Arts in France the previous year.

Barth’s collection includes programsfrom Fall Festivals and other activi-

ties when it was a thriving congrega-tion. The decline in the rural popula-tion led to a decline in membership,and it ceased to be a parish someyears ago. Church of the Visitation isnow an Oratory. Mass is held weeklyon Tuesday nights, attended by localresidents, and it is open for weddings,funerals and special events.

Or you could just stop by and imag-ine you are visiting France.

The church building is on the eastend of Danvers, about a block south ofHighway 12. ❖

By KRISTIN KVENOThe Land CorrespondentThe BrandtsAda, Minn.

The Brandt farmfinally received rainin the early morningof Aug. 21 though itwas “just enough rainto settle the dust.”

The Land spokewith Danny Brandt later that day, andhe reported that the weather wasmuch cooler — 86 F — than it was justthe day before. You know that you’re ina hot streak when 86 feels cool.

Brandt just finished walking beetfields on the lookout for bolters, orbeets that have prematurely gone toseed. He reported that one field had 20bolters, and that the beets are “wiltingand dry.” Brandt expects the crop willstay the same, or at best add a littlemore sugar. Crystal Sugar is estimat-ing that around the Ada area therewill be a 24- to 25-ton crop. Brandtisn’t as optimistic.

Beet pre-haul is scheduled for Sept.11-13 and will be quite an adventurefor Brandt as “Highway 9 is all torn upfrom Ada to Polk County 9.” His pilingsite is right on Highway 9 so he mayhave to take the beets to anotherreceiving station.

Meanwhile, the beans are “startingto really suffer,” Brandt said. Leaveson the plants are already starting toturn due to the lack of moisture. He’spredicting that he’ll be in the fieldcombining beans in just a few weeks,“a little earlier than usual.”

All the crops are feeling the effects oflack of rain. Corn, Brandt said, is “dryand starting to cannibalize on thestalk.” On the bright side, he finishedcombining wheat on Aug. 21 and it wasa “better crop than we thought.”Brandt reports that the “bins are filledup and everyone’s happy.”

While he knows that he’s not going toget the big crop like last year, his“glass half-full” personality shinesthrough — he says the lack of rain isgoing to let him “get the crop off eas-ily.”The JohnsonsStarbuck, Minn.

Going out in the fields with the cropinsurance adjuster to look at the after-math of the hail storm that hit Scott

Johnson’s farm onAug. 6, he was “sur-prised at all the dif-ferent stages the cornfields are in.”

The Johnson farmhasn’t received anyrain since that earlyAugust storm, andrain is needed, but

the current heat wave in the area isalso needed. When The Land spoke toJohnson on Aug. 19, he reported that“some of the ears were a lot furtheralong.”

Two of his fields were hit hard by thehail, with beans taking the brunt ofthe damage. Those that weren’t hit byhail still look “pretty good.” Still uncer-tain is how the crops will tolerate thehail damage; the full extent of the haildamage won’t be known until harvest.Johnson is spraying for aphids as theyseem to be enjoying his later-plantedbean fields.

Johnson is keeping his eye on hisfields to see if they can continue togrow after the hail, while also workingon “getting fertilizer plans together.”Johnson knows that “harvest will behere before you know it.”

Farming is a never-ending game ofpool, where the farmer is always liningup the next shot (harvest) and some-times several shots ahead (fall andspring fertilizer). With a little luck, thelate planting and the summer hailstorm hasn’t tilted the pool table for afair shot at a winning harvest on theJohnson farm.

The MessnersNorthfield, Minn.

Chris Messner haslots of new little“friends” in his fieldsand he would likethem to take the hintthat they aren’t wel-come on any of hissoybeans plants.

Aphids in and around the Messnerfarm “are pretty bad,” Messner toldThe Land on Aug. 19. Many late-seeded Minnesota soybean fields arequickly accumulating treatable popu-lations of aphids.

The beans should be OK, he said, butthey do have a long ways to go untilthey are ready to combine. “We coulduse a shot of rain,” Messner said. Thebeans are “not dry, but a lot of nodesare showing a little bit of stress.” Mess-ner believes that most farmers in thearea will not be expecting 60 bushelbeans; rather 40 bushel beans may bethe reality.

The corn is “coming along,” he said,although he drove by some fields onAug. 19 and saw corn that wasn’t eventasseled. In Messner’s fields the “polli-nation looks pretty decent,” but he pre-dicted that “yields are going to be allover the board.” Corn will be in thedenting stage by next week, he said,and the crop is “not too far off fromnormal.”

Thoughts of harvest have begun onthe Messner farm. “We’ve got all thebins cleaned out (and we’re) getting

the combine’s yearly checkup.”While harvest planning and prepa-

rations are under way, Messner is inno hurry to jump in the combine. Anearly frost is “everybody’s fear,” hesaid; a mid-September frost “would bea disaster” and even a mid-Octoberfrost could be detrimental to the crop.“All we can do is hope that it holdsoff.” For now, the focus remains onunwanted house guests in the soy-bean fields.The LaubenthalsSwea City, Iowa

The heat is on innorthern Iowa. “It’ssupposed to get to 90tomorrow,” CharlieLaubenthal said.When The Landspoke with him onAug. 20 he was thrilled that theweather had turned from mid-70s andno rain, to high-humidity 90 F dayswith a chance of rain.

The “corn is tasseled” and “looksOK,” Laubenthal said, but it’s stillbehind. The soybeans are setting podsand “look decent ... I haven’t heard alot of talk of aphids.” While aphidsaren’t a problem in his fields, a lack ofrain is; there hadn’t been rain in twoweeks.

Laubenthal is getting updated andeducated on the new corn hybrids andsoybean varieties, as well as impor-tant program information from Myco-gen Seeds. He is ready to put on hisseed-selling hat as “seed sales willstart again soon.” He is also workingon finishing hauling corn and clean-ing out the bottoms of bins.

“If we get some 90-degree days, thatwill progress the crop,” Laubenthalsaid. Warmer temperatures are keep-ing concerns about an early frost atbay. “As long as we don’t get a frostwe’ll be average at best.” Let’s hopethis tropical weather sticks aroundfor a while. ❖

Is microbiology next on yourfarming agenda?

Farmer, agronomist and mediapersonality Brian Hefty thinksthat as we keep pushing formore production from each acreof land, ag technology will con-tinue to ramp up — including inthe biological arena.

Speaking at the Case IH tentat Farmfest, the co-host of RFD-TV’s “Ag PhD” program men-tioned micro nutrients, sulfurand other elements are oftennow showing up as a factor inyield limits. “We’ve addressedthe N, P and K issues for manyyears. Now as an agronomist I’mtrying to figure out what is thelimiting yield factor on this guy’sfarm, even down to these lasttwo acres,” Hefty said.

Down the road he sees biologi-cal products becoming a big partof agriculture as we go forward.“That’s why many companieshave invested tens of millions ofdollars in buying biological com-panies and are stepping up the paceon introduction of new bio productsinto the ag market,” he said.

Hefty added that he asked a CEO ofa major ag chemical manufacturingcompany about bio-logical products. “Hetold me, ‘Brian, here’sthe main reason whywe’re gettinginvolved. Yes, there issome yield gain butEurope is trying toeliminate ag chemusage, even with oursafe products. Sowhat are they goingto be down to? They’llbe moving to biologi-cal products.’

“This gentleman continued, ‘Do Ithink these biologicals will be as goodas our synthetic products? No, but it’sat least an option for the Europeanfarmers. If we can combine the biolog-icals with our synthetics we’re goingto gain more yield, more total produc-tion from each acre.’”

Hefty suggested that when Mon-santo, Pioneer and other major seedoutfits started talking about doublingyields they didn’t foresee this happen-ing just because of improved genetics.“That’s why they’ve been crankinghard on traits, and I see biological

products being next in their tool boxes.And that also includes seed treat-ments, equipment and all aspects offarming to make this hurdle.”

Hefty said they have been using bio-logical products for quite a few years

in their own farmingoperation at Baltic,S.D. He also indi-cated most soybeanproducers have beeninto biologicals on asmall scale usinginoculation products.He said they’velooked at quite a fewproducts, with someshowing real prom-ise. His company isalso getting intoplant growth hor-mones and did say

one product they used on corn thisyear “looks like a winner. Also a prod-uct that we used with our early fertil-izer applications looks real good, too.

“... there are a lot of exciting thingsin both plant growth hormones andbiological products that I think will bethe next step in ramping up productiv-ity. There will be other tools out therethat will help us go further in thisfeeding-the-world challenge.”

When farmers ask Hefty what singlething they can do to gain 25 bushels

yield, he said that anymore there does-n’t appear to be a single new inputthat will do that job. “But if I can sug-gest a few five-bushel ideas he can do,then we can get that extra 25 bushelshe’s pushing for.”

How about cover crops? Are they thenext trick to maximizing crop yieldsand reducing soil erosion?

“That’s another tool waiting to belooked at,” Hefty said. “On our ownfarm I don’t think we’ve done a goodenough job on the ero-sion side. We’ve madegood progress butthere’s more we cando. Cover crops aren’texactly new but wehaven’t been usingthem. Case IH sur-veyed their farmercustomers about theNo. 1 new technologythey were going to usein 2014. Cover cropsranked first.

“So apparently thestrategy thinking of farmers is thatcover crops are something worth con-sidering,” he said. “I think we’ll bedoing more on cover crops in our ownprogram and the Extension world isdefinitely providing farmers moreinputs on crops that work, how theywork, when to seed, and how to seed.”

Hefty said 22-inch and 30-inchare now the norm but he added,“when we go to narrow rows wehave other issues. The equip-ment costs more. It’s very heavyequipment so we have soil com-paction. Plant populations go upand that leads to more diseaseproblems as rows get narrower.So that means breeding hybridsthat work better in this environ-ment. We’re seeing 40,000-, even45,000-plant-per-acre researchprojects so breeders are expect-ing narrower rows going for-ward.”

At Farmfest, Hefty questionedthe earlier U.S. Department ofAgriculture projection of 155bushel average yields and healso doubted the accuracy of 97million acres of corn gettingplanted this spring. The Aug. 12

USDA projection was 13.763 billionbushel corn crop, a 28-percent increasefrom drought-hit 2012 but 2 percentsmaller than traders expected. He’soptimistic about grain prices going for-ward but said the flip side is a betteropportunity for livestock producers,ethanol plants and other end-users ofcorn to lock-in prices significantlycheaper than a year ago.

The USDA estimated this year’s corncrop will sell for an

average of $4.80 abushel at the farmgate, down $2 abushel from 2012.Soybeans arepegged at $11.35 abushel, down $3from the recordseason-averageprice for the 2012crop.

Hefty said thatwith the “Ag PhD”program, their mis-sion is simply to

help farmers wherever they may be.“We just have a passion for agricul-ture, a passion for farming. We want tohelp farmers make farming work bet-ter regardless of where they live,” hesaid.
