A somewhat hastily called Uni-versity of Minnesota ExtensionService information meeting onprevent planting drew a crowd ofabout 125 farmers, crop consult-ants, and crop insurance reps tothe Hutchinson Event Center June19.As much as 8 inches of rain hadfallen in the previous 48 hours, andone day prior it was announcedthat prevent planting deadlines forMinnesota had been set back toJuly 15 because of extremely wetconditions throughout the state.

“The reason we held the meetingwas due to extremely wet conditionsthroughout this area,” said NathanWinter, Extension Educator forMcLeod and Meeker counties.“There are significant acres of cornand soybean not yet planted andprobably will not be planted in 2014.

“Some livestock producers havenot even harvested their first cut-ting of alfalfa due to the wet con-ditions. Farmers and agriculturalprofessionals have had somequestions pertaining to covercrops and planting emergency forages.”

Winter noted that there has beensome confusion regarding crop insur-ance rules, with farmers trying to findthe best way to move forward this year.

“We wanted farmers to be aware ofthe crop insurance rules and try to pro-vide them with options to make theirdecisions,” he said. “A big concern forarea livestock farmers is being able toproduce enough feed for their opera-tions. The crop insurance payment forprevent plant will not go very far tofeed their livestock in 2014 and 2015.”“Not fair for everyone”

A lively question-and-answer sessionstarted the meeting, including input fromJohn Larsen, with Rural CommunityInsurance Services of Danube, Minn.

“Prevent Planting is simply not fair foreveryone,” Larsen said. “For example you

can seed cover crop, but you cannot bale orgraze until Nov.1 or you will decrease yourPP payment to 35 percent. By the sametoken, you can plant corn as late as July 5and you can insure that crop, but only forthe 60 percent coverage payment.”

He emphasized the importance ofgetting your insured acres right. “Yourinsurance adjuster will be workingfrom your four-year history on yourfarm. Just make certain that you turnin a notice to your local agent.”

How about a July planting of corn, asa prevent planting option can that becut for silage? The answer, simply, is“no” — you can only bale or graze thatcorn, and not until after Nov. 1.

“There’s no doubt in my mind thatprevent planting favors the crop pro-ducer, with little assistance for live-stock producers who may desperatelyneed feed,” said Larsen.

Options if you need forageYou may plant a cover crop on prevent

planting acres for hay or grazing. How-ever your prevent planting paymentmay be significantly reduced if you har-vest that forage before Nov. 1. Producersshould check with their Farm ServiceAgency office and their crop insuranceagent for details, then pencil out the eco-nomics for their own enterprise to decidewhether or not this is a viable option.

There may also be restrictions on feed-ing a cover crop depending on which herbi-cides have been used. For example, cropstreated with glyphosate cannot be fed orharvested for eight weeks, while herbi-cides containing acetochlor — Harness,Surpass, etc. — have an 18-month restric-tion for grazing or harvesting for feed.

But information may still be lackingat FSA offices. An insurance agent inthe audience described the offices as“gun shy” until rules are published inthe Federal Register, and suggestedthat farmers shouldn’t wait for regula-tors to interpret the farm bill — “It’syour land, take care of it.”

“How do we plan when the final rulesmay not yet be set?” asked Jim Salfer,University of Minnesota extension dairyspecialist. He agreed that confusionreigns on prevent planting right now.

“Dairy farmers may be scrambling forfeed this fall and winter because of PP andthe possible consequences if making anerror,” he said. “It’s a harder decision forlivestock producers simply because they’vegot to feed something to their cattle.

“Do you take your PP and just not plantand buy from a neighbor, or the open mar-ket? I think for many livestock producersthey will plant something later than thePP planting date and not suffer the conse-quences of that PP discount. In otherwords, they may not even apply for PP.And to me it looks like that somethingshould be corn. Today our short-seasonhybrids yield remarkably well even if late-planted. It may not set ears but it will pro-vide protein, sugar and digestible fiber.”

See PREVENT, pg. 13

The genuine sincerity of rural folks isnever more evident than when attendingfunerals. We’ve had three in ourOlivia/Bird Island/Danube communitiesthe past couple of weeks. The first a gen-uine Bird Island-area farmer who pro-duced a great family and great corn crops,too; then a co-op fuel delivery friend whointroduced me to the great fun of horserodeos, a growing Minnesota entertain-ment; and the latest my neighboringfarmer who valiantly did a 10-year battleagainst a rare disease but accepted thereality that though Earth had been goodto him, Heaven was his next residence.

Yes, always some tears, lots of hugs,and heartfelt sorrow at our country goodbyes toloved ones. But also very evident is the overallwarmth and friendship, even joy and smiles, as weshare our memories about the newly departed. Eccle-siastes 3 — “A Time for Everything” — often sets thestage for the farewell messages from the pulpit. Atthese beautiful country funerals you so vividly arereminded that there is no greater treasure than agood friend.

For my neighbor Rabi Peterson, his bulletinincluded the poignant verse “A Fallen Limb.” It fitsso well for all my lost friends ... and yours, too. Rabi,I know, would enjoy sharing:

A limb has fallen from the family tree. I keep hear-ing a voice that says, “Grieve not for me.” Rememberthe best times, the laughter, the song. The good life Ilived while I was strong. Continue my heritage, I’mcounting on you. Keep smiling and surely the sun willshine through. My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.Remembering all, how I truly was blessed. Continuetraditions, no matter how small. Go on with your life,don’t worry about fall. I miss you all dearly, so keepup your chin. Until the day comes we’re togetheragain. — Author Unknown

At all three of these funerals, Minnesota weatherput on its finest despite the several days of intensemoisture. So “funeral talk” involved the crop outlookas well. One can only speculate about the eventualimpact of what likely will be the wettest June inMinnesota history. We’re hearing of corn and soy-bean “good to excellent” ratings dropping 10 points inone week because of excessive moisture. Very likelythis latest “weather barometer” is causing more jit-ters in the commodity markets.

In a June 24 report, Bryce Knorr of Farm Futuressaid, “Grain futures are lower across the board thismorning, with new selling emerging overnight afterthe latest crop ratings showed only minor losses

from heavy June rains. Outside marketsare still nervous but could benefit fromwhat appear to be easing world tensions.

“Corn prices are weaker, as both old andnew crop futures hone in on last week’slows following disappointing bearishreversals yesterday.

“Monday’s Crop Progress showed deterio-rating conditions across the northwestCorn Belt in Minnesota, Iowa and SouthDakota, mostly offset by gains in NorthDakota and Indiana, chopping about 1

bushel per acre off yield potential nation-wide. Still, the average yield forecast byour model was strong at 169 bpa, enough

to produce a 14-billion-bushel-plus cropeven if some areas are lost completely.”

I’m questioning that 169 bushel per acre projec-tion. I’m thinking crop hurt over much of our UpperMidwest is a bit more than the trade is willing toadmit. Granted, these 80 degrees Fahrenheit dayswith bright sunshine accelerate growth immensely.As always, the Weather Man has the last at bat andso far he’s been carrying a big bat. So we’ll revisitthis topic later this season.

Talking weather often leads to wind talk ... andpossible hail storms, and gusts that can seriouslylean young corn plants, and of course wind energy. Asurprise, at least to those of us living in Minnesota,is the fact that Iowa now leads the nation in the per-centage of energy generated from wind. According tothe American Wind Energy Association, Iowa nowgenerates about 27 percent of its energy from windpower, ahead of South Dakota at 26 percent.

Texas leads the nation in total wind power, cur-rently generating enough wind energy to power 3.3million homes; that figure for Iowa is 1.4 millionhomes. Amidst those thousands of corn and soybeanfields in Iowa there is now 5,117 megawatts ofinstalled wind energy capacity, with 1,056megawatts under construction. All of that windenergy generated in Iowa has generated lots of jobs,too — up to 7,000 direct and indirect based on 2012data. Iowa wind companies include Siemens and TPIComposites, the maker of blades, and Trinity Struc-tural Towers, the maker of towers.

According to the Wind Energy Association, Iowalandowners receive about $16 million annually inlease payments for wind generation. This outfit alsosaid that American wind power topped 4 percent ofthe U.S. power grid for the first time last year, andhas delivered 30 percent of all new generating capac-

LAND MINDS

LAND MINDS, from pg. 2ity for the last five years.

Perhaps ironic, perhaps intentional,but now let’s talk salaries of a fewelected officials. Did you know, thesalary of retired U.S. Presidents is$180,000 for life. Retired House andSenate members get $174,000 for life.The Speaker of the House picks up a$223,000 stipend for life. The averagesalary of an American teacher is$40,065. The average salary of a soldierdeployed to Afghanistan, or anywhereelse, is $38,000. This is simply aninsult to common sense.

More deplorable is the fact that thoseserving in Congress get to vote them-selves what their salaries should be plusother perks and benefits such as betterretirement plans than Social Security,better health plans, and an excessiveamount of paid vacation, plus they don’tcontribute a dime to any of it. Littlewonder approval of Congress and theworkings of our government are at all-time lows. Term limits have simply gotto happen in this U.S. Congress.

■

And Federal agenciesshould start applying “com-mon sense” when it comes to interpre-tation of their powers.

Get this: According to a proposed rulefrom the Food and Drug Administra-tion to ensure the safety of animal feedand pet food, brewers and distillers ofbeer and whiskey may soon have tosend their “spent grains” into landfills.Brewers and distillers, even somemembers of Congress, are up in arms.A growing number of cows likely aren’tso happy either.

Cows just happen to love chewingtheir cud after they fill their rumenwith leftover wet grain from makingalcohol. Apparently this relationshipbetween alcohol-makers and farmers isa centuries-old symbiotic partnershipthat even George Washington took partin, according to my source.

Cows love it so much that manyfarmers call it “happy hour” when theyfeed their animals spent grain,whether it’s the byproduct of bourbonor IPA. The arrangement makes beer,

bourbon and other alcoholproducers happy, too, asthey avoid paying to dis-

pose of massive quantities of “wetmash” while also helping reduce farm-ers’ feed costs.

On average, one gallon of beer willyield about a pound of spent grain. Onegallon of bourbon yields more thannine pounds. The Brewers Associationestimates that 80 percent of its mem-bers currently give away their spentgrain to livestock farmers. This is cer-tainly not the case with the Americanethanol industry, which markets virtu-ally all of its “spent grain” to livestockfarmers both here and overseas.

■

Obviously this challenging spring andearly summer has also challenged thewording and interpretation of the 2014farm bill, especially on sticky issues likeprevent planting. This monstrosity ofover 900 pages includes 12 titles andover 450 provisions. And because theend result of these massive pieces oflegislation is left in the hands of theregulator agencies to interpret and put

the proper language to these provi-sions, most farmers, crop managers,and ag retailers are still waiting.

At a recent prevent planting infor-mation meeting I attended in Hutchin-son, Harlan Anderson, one of myfavorite government curmudgeonssaid, “Right now our FSA offices aregun shy until the rules and regulationsare published in the Federal Register.

“My advice: It’s your land, take careof it. This new farm bill is slowing theprocess big time. In essence the rulesare being written by the regulators asthey determine what was meant invarious portions of this farm bill.Right now, it’s a mess.”

So continue on, farm friends. Pauseto enjoy the blessings of your Lord.And ponder these words: The problemAmerica faces today exist because thepeople who work for a living are nowoutnumbered by those who vote for aliving. Peace.

According to the U.S. Department ofAgriculture, there now are federal com-modity checkoffs for beef, blueberries,Christmas trees, cotton, dairy products,eggs, fluid milk, Hass avocados, “HoneyPackers and Importers,” lamb, mango,mushrooms, paper and paper-based pack-aging, peanuts, popcorn, pork, potatoes,processed raspberries, softwood lumber,sorghum, soybeans and watermelons.

Let’s see, that’s 1, 2, 3 … whoa, 22.These 22 federally mandated, largely

non-refundable commodity checkoffsraise most of an estimated $750 millionper year from U.S. farmers and ranch-ers to promote everything from, well,avocados to watermelons.

Long as that menu is, however, it’s not the wholecheckoff enchilada. USDA operates another 35 or sofederal commodity marketing orders and many statesoversee dozens more local commodity checkoffs.

For example, there are at least 22 state corncheckoffs — for varying amounts per bushel; somerefundable, some not — that contribute a portion of

their money to a coordinated nationalcorn promotion effort.

Also, many state beef groups either nowhave or are pursuing statewide beef check-offs to add up to another $1 per head to fundstate-specific beef promotion programs ontop of the $1-per-head non-refundable fed-eral checkoff each beef and dairy produceralready pays upon sale of their animals.

Combine state and national checkoff col-lections and it’s guessed — because checkoffdata is not compiled — that American farm-ers and ranchers pay $1.25 billion per year

for commodity promotion and research.That pile will grow if the Organic Trade

Association, a self-described “membership-based business association for the organic industry inNorth America,” is able to sway federal lawmakers toendorse an organic checkoff in the next two years.

OTA claims a checkoff would carry benefits forfarmers and industry alike. It sees the money,pegged between $20 million and $40 million peryear, as a way to “distinguish organic in the marketplace, grow demand and help the consumer under-

stand all that organic delivers.”Links to documents are posted at

http://farmandfoodfile.com/in-the-news/.To raise the money, OTA is pushing an assessment

plan it calls “broad and shallow” for everyone in theorganic “supply chain.” Everyone “means not onlyproducers,” according to OTA, but also “handlers,brand manufacturers, co-packers (and) importers.”

Exempted from paying any checkoff, however,would be “organic certificate holders” (most players inthe U.S. organic market must be “certified” organic byUSDA) with gross annual sales of $250,000 or less.

The proposed assessment advocated by OTA is 1/10of 1 percent of gross organic revenue greater than$250,001 per year. “For example,” OTA explains,“there would be a $1,000 assessment at $1,000,000gross organic revenue.”

While OTA’s checkoff plan is relatively broader andcheaper than its federal siblings, most organic farm-ers see little need for it. Ed Maltby, executive direc-tor of the Northeast Organic Dairy ProducersAlliance, recently posted a lengthy discussion on

Organic checkoff proposal more of more of the same

GUEBERT, from pg. 4NODPA’s website on what he calls OTA’s “one-sided propaganda campaign” for the checkoff.

In fact, writes Maltby, the push by OTA, “a tradeorganization using emotive language and a well-financed program,” will be “counter-productive at atime when the (organic) community needs to be unitedin the face of many marketplace and USDA threats…”

Most farmers and ranchers, however, continued tosupport state and national commodity checkoffsdespite little independent evidence to suggest any ofthe billions spent on checkoffs in the last 25 yearshas had any material impact on prices received byfarmers and ranchers.

Indeed, checkoff detractors often point to the dramaticdrop in farmer and rancher numbers over the life of cur-rent checkoffs as simple proof that farm- and ranch-financed promotion efforts have had little to no impactwhatsoever on farm and ranch prices, profits and lives.

They’re right, checkoffs shouldbe about more farmers making

more, not fewer making more. Assuch, it’s hard to see how the latest checkoff schemeis little more than more of the same.

Every now and again I’m reminded ofthe notion that the word “farm” is both anoun and a verb. Come to think of it, thewords “plan” and “spit” are of the samevintage.

This past spring I was once again wit-ness to our group of guys trying to makethe plan to get the day’s spring plantingdone.

It’s a group of guys of all ages — youngfarmers, middle age farmers and one get-ting a little closer to retirement age eachyear, but not getting close to retiring.They sort out seed and load the seed ten-ders, and when it’s all finished, they stand aroundin a circle with dirt swirling around their workboots as they shuffle back and forth.

It’s a group of guys, so of course, this elaboratethinking process requires jocularity overload, ver-bal fertilizer and a certain amount of spitting.

I’ve learned that it’s not always the greatest thingto be on the receiving end of any of those things.Nearly three decades of marriage and a quartercentury of being a mother has taught me to standclear of all things spewed — from babies to childrento grown men — whether in food, word or salivaryform.

And especially if tobacco and wind speed anddirection are involved.

Some of the guys run field cultivators, some run

planters, some haul seed tenders andeveryone has a job to do. When the mon-key business has subsided, the plan ismade as to who will be working where andhow seed tenders and pickups filled withseed bags will get to the fields where theyneed to be throughout the day, and whatthe seed tender drivers will be doing afterthey reach their destinations. And if mak-ing the plan for the entire day, they extendtheir planning by figuring out who shoulddrive what pickup somewhere so everyonehas something to come home in at quittingtime, or who will be around to drive so-and-such home.

It’s quite an intellectual process that makes myhead spin, and I’m certain that so much time andthought was never put into planning our weddingday, nor subsequently in the planning of our family.

Of course, each plan is meticulously constructed,and two or three plans might be scrapped before thefinal revision is accepted by the entire congress.When it receives all “ayes,” they scatter, firing uptractors and trucks for the day’s work ahead of them.

And, as we all know from time to time, the plan issubject to change without notice. When I bring sup-per to the field I sometimes get roped into helpingmove them from field to field. It takes an axe to myown plan, but the getting the crop in or out trumpsall other plans. And I know the inconvenience is onlytemporary. Better a temporary inconvenience than a

temporary marriage. Most of the time, anyway.All of this planning reminds me of our sons when

they were in middle school and deciding the peckingorder when it came to making planning decisionsoutside when their dad was not home. There wouldbe a wicked feud every now and then, which theneighbor’s dog could tune into by cocking his headsideways and turning up his ears. After a certainamount of bickering, our guys came up with a plan.

One day my husband asked one of them a questionabout something they were doing, and he answeredwith a clear and present tone of apathy. “I don’tknow. I’m not the boss today.”

I bet that plan involved a lot of spitting, but I’mglad I wasn’t there to see where — or on whom — itmay have landed.

Tonight’s dessert is courtesy of yourchildhood.

The cake you’ll have after dinner is justlike the one Mom used to make. It’ll beround, mostly, maybe a little lopsided,with a divot in the center from letting theoven door slam. Like Mom’s cake, youricing will be thick on top, thin on the sides.And like hers, yours came from a box, too.

Cake mix. What a concept. So how didsomething so revolutionary (in the1930s) end up in nearly every kitchen inthe country? Read “Duncan Hines” byLouis Hatchett and find out.

Born in Bowling Green, Ky., at a time when auto-mobiles were new, Duncan Hines was the eighth of10 children, but the last to live. He seemed to havean idyllic childhood but when his mother died in1884, young Hines was sent to live with his grand-parents. It was a decision that changed his life.

Because his grandmother was an excellent cook,eating became Hines’ “great passion.” He developeda keen palate for fine foods so, as later health issuestook him to the newly-settled West; marriagebrought him to New York; and a sales gig led him toChicago, he seized every opportunity to sample vari-ous cuisines. Furthermore, Hines and his wife madeit a “hobby” to dine out on weekends and he keptmeticulous notes on restaurants, sanitation and food.

By late 1935, after trading his information withother traveling salesmen, Hines’ notes grew toinclude 167 restaurants in 30 states. He saw thatautomobile travel was quickly becoming popular andhe knew that everybody wanted know where to get adecent meal away so, that year, he and his wifeadded a self-published booklet to Christmas cardsand “mailed them to everyone they could think of…”

Beginning with that giveaway, and until a few

years after his death in 1959, Duncan Hinesenjoyed fortune and popularity as America ’sforemost restaurant critic. His was not the firstsuch ratings book, but it was arguably theworld’s most trusted.

So why is the name Duncan Hines synonymouswith cake mix today, and not with the travel-restau-rant guides that Hines first created?

The answer lies with a young marketer who knewthe right things to say…

Huh. Who knew?Apparently, says author Louis Hatchett, everybody

did, including thousands from around the world. In fact,he believes, it’s a pretty safe bet that if you were bornbefore 1955, you knew where to look before you dined.

In “Duncan Hines,” Hatchett describes his subjectas a mercurial man who fiercely protected his repu-tation but still managed to make money, despite theDepression and World Wars. The story of this rags-to-riches salesman is surprising and surprisingly

fascinating — perhapsbecause Hines is notHatchett’s only subject.We also get a sense of timeand place, and I liked that.

This book is perfect ifyou’d like an unusual (and

lively) biography to enjoy while dining, vacationingor any time. With “Duncan Hines,” you can haveyour cake and read it, too.

Look for the reviewed book at a bookstore or alibrary near you. You may also find the book atonline book retailers.

The ThronsonsGary, Minn.

Jared Thronsonhas been spending alot of time getting toknow his newsprayer.

When The Landspoke with him themorning of June 25he had sprayed his winter wheat andcorn, and was optimistic that fieldconditions would allow him to getback in the sprayer to do beans thatafternoon.

Located in northern Minnesota,Thronson knows the two and a halfinches of rain that fell at this farm theprevious week was nothing comparedto what southern Minnesota hadreceived. Nonetheless, the rain he got,and the forecast for the weekend, wasnot exactly giving his crop a boost inthe right direction.

Wheat is showing stress due toexcess moisture, said Thronson — it’s“getting yellow color to it because it’stoo wet.” He knows that field willneed an aerial sprayer.

Thronson has “one field of corn thatlooks real good,” while the other haslighter green corn. That one is a corn-on-corn field; Thronson suspects itcould use some extra nitrogen. Thesoybeans are “overall pretty good.”

He is already thinking harvest. “I’mtrying to get my combine out andready to go for winter wheat harvest.”Thronson thinks he should be outcombining winter wheat in about amonth, as it is already flowering andheading out. This will be a newadventure for Thronson; he’s nevergrown winter wheat before.

As he looks out on his crop he’shappy to report there’s “not too muchto complain about.” Considering howthis year’s growing season has gonefor many farmers across Minnesotaand Iowa, that statement says a lot.

The WiltsesHerman, Minn.

Rain has kept things pretty quiet onDennis Wilts’ farm. The Land spokewith Wilts June 25 as he reported he

hadn’t been able toget in the field tospray in over twoweeks. That’s becausethe rains came; sixinches of rain to beprecise. All of thatmoisture caused“some of the corn toyellow,” he said. Some

of the crop has been drowned out.While he’d like to have a do-over,

Wilts said that “nothing has dried outto plant (and) it won’t be dried out intime to replant.” More rain was in theforecast: “They’re talking about twoinches by Sunday,”

Right now, he is looking for somesunshine instead of rain clouds. “Wedon’t need any more rain for a while.”At the very least, he said, “if we do geta bunch, (hopefully) it won’t come allat once.”

Wilts’ brother was able to get in thefield this day and get some sprayingdone — a spray plane has been hiredto do more soon from the air. “We’llhave a lot of spraying,” Wilts said.Corn, soybeans and sugar beets are allon the docket. Trying to beat the rainand get the crops sprayed is the nameof the game so far this summer.

Looking at the positive in the midstof rain, wet fields and yellowed crops,Wilts said that at least they’ve had nohail or truly severe weather. He shouldprobably should knock on wood after

that statement ... just to be safe.

The HoffmansNew Ulm, Minn.

Sometimes a roadtrip is just what aproducer needs whenrain puts a stop tothe field work. That’sexactly what DonHoffman was onwhen The Landspoke with him on June 26.

Having left the soggy New Ulm area,Hoffman and his wife, Diane, wereheaded to Indianapolis and enjoying adriving adventure along the way.Speaking from the town of Ottawa, Ill.— which Hoffman called a “rustic townwith low humidity” — he gave anupdate on what’s going back at thefarm.

They’d had 10.5 inches of rain thusfar in June, though there hadn’t beenadditional precipitation in nearly aweek. The corn is “looking better,” saidHoffman, meaning that “some of whatwas yellowing is getting color again.”Even with the corn making a come-back, “I’m sure that we lost 4 or 5 per-cent to drown-out.” Meanwhile, thesoybeans were “pretty good, actually,”although “they, too, have some of thatyellowing color.” Overall, he said,they’re “growing nicely.”

In the barn they’re “about to startcalving a little bit again,” said Hoff-

man. That “should turn milk produc-tion up again.”

As they drove along the Illinois farmfields he admired what is growing outthere. “The crops down here look excel-lent.” With corn four feet high, “it looksgood everywhere you look.” The cropsout on Hoffman’s fields may not winany beauty pageants right now, they’restill coming along — and in this crazygrowing season, he’ll take it.

The HagensLake Mills, Iowa

Heavy rains haveworn out their wel-come at the Hagenfarm.

“We got 6 incheslast week; soaked ‘erdown pretty good,”Jim Hagen said. The Land spoke withhim on June 25 as he was actually feel-ing some relief — “we missed out on alot of the huge flooding.”

While severe flooding wasn’t an issuein Hagen’s fields, rain nevertheless diddrown out some of his crops.

He reported that he had finishedreplanting 10 acres of soybeans due tothe large amount of rain. The storms,while not severe, “blew pretty hard onthe corn,” Hagen said, but thankfullythe corn didn’t snap. He said that it’s“getting late to replant now,” so theweather had better behave and lend ahelping hand to what’s still growing.

With the rain came the heat. “We’vegotten pretty good heat units here,”Hagen said. Heavy rains were forecastfor the weekend but if they luck outand it stays away, he said it would be“really good corn growing weather.”

Hagen hopes to finish up sprayingbeans in the next few days, as well asdoing “some scouting in the fields tosee if we need to put any fungicide on.”He said that “it’s easier to kill theweeds right now as they are growingfast.”

He estmated that 99 percent of hiscrops “look real good.” Focusing on thebig picture, Hagen said he is gratefulfor that 99 percent and is trying not beoverly concerned about the one percent.

Probably not a bad way to look at life... and farming. ❖

This column was writtenfor the marketing week end-ing July 4.

The U.S. Department ofAgriculture announced theJune Federal order Class IIIbenchmark milk price thisweek at $21.36 per hun-dredweight, down $1.21from May but $3.34 aboveJune 2013, $2.29 above Cal-ifornia’s comparable 4bcheese milk price, andequates to about $1.84per gallon. The half-year Class III averagenow stands at $22.68, up from $17.74at this time a year ago and $15.90 in2012.

Class III futures settled Wednesdayas follows: July, $21.25; August, $20.38;September, $20.23; October, $20.23;November, $19.79; and December$19.48. The Class IV price is $23.13, up48 cents from May and $4.25 above a

year ago. Its 2014 averagenow stands at $23.09, upfrom $18.17 a year ago and$14.90 in 2012.

The four-week, NationalDairy Products SalesReport-surveyed cheeseprice used in calculating thismonth’s prices was $2.0358per pound, down 13.5 centsfrom May. Butter averaged$2.1874, up 14 cents. Nonfatdry milk averaged $1.8633,

down 1.4 cents, and drywhey averaged 67.89cents per pound, up

fractionally from May.■

Cheese prices are below $2 per poundagain. The Cheddar blocks closed theholiday-shortened week at $1.9675 perpound, down 5.25 cents on the weekbut still 30.25 cents above a year ago.The barrels closed Thursday at$1.9850, down 2.5 cents on the week,

31.5 cents above a year ago, and 1.75cents above the blocks. Twenty-six carsof block and three of barrel tradedhands on the week. The NDPSR-sur-veyed U.S. average block price hit$2.0388, up 0.7 cent, and the barrelsaveraged $2.0165, up 0.3 cent.

Cheese production is steady acrossthe nation as manufacturing milk isreadily available in most regions.Cheese plants are operating at or nearcapacity to take advantage of the milksupplies but also to secure spot offer-ings at below Class pricing. Increasedofferings of condensed skim are alsoavailable to boost vat yields.

Cash butter skyrocketed 11 cents

Monday, then shifted into reverse andgave it all back, closing Thursday at$2.39 per pound, unchanged on theweek but 86.5 cents above a year ago.Nineteen cars were sold on the week.NDPSR butter averaged $2.2095, up3.5 cents.

Additional butter operators soldcream supplies, leaving churn ratesreduced. The current tight cream situ-ation has created more demand forbulk butter, which is exceeding spotofferings. Production rates are steadyto lower. Export orders are reduced asinternational prices remain lowerthan U.S. prices. Retail sales aremixed amongst the regions with someaffected by current high prices.

Milk prices heading down, cheese below $2, butter slipping too

Grain OutlookCorn report sets

off fireworksThe following market analysis is for the week end-

ing July 4.CORN —What a week heading into the Fourth of July

weekend! The long-awaited U.S. Department of Agricul-ture “Planted Acreage and Grain Stocks as of June 1”release caught the trade off-guardwith bearish numbers all-around.

Corn stocks were 3.854 billionbushels as of June 1 or 3.5 percenthigher than the pre-report esti-mate of 3.722 billion bushels, butstill within the range of guesses.This year’s stocks are 1.088 bil-lion bushels or 39 percent biggerthan last year on that date.

The implied feed/residual usefor the third quarter equates to864 million bushels, down 6 per-cent from last year. For us toachieve the USDA’s 2013-14feed/residual usage of 5.3 billion bushels, fourthquarter’s number will have to up 134 percent fromlast year’s fourth quarter feed/residual usage. Ofthis year’s stocks, 1.86 billion bushels are on-farmand 1.99 billion bushels are off-farm. Minnesota’scorn stocks are 469.4 million bushels. Iowa has themost corn on hand at 728.5 million bushels.

This year’s planted acres were announced at91.641 million acres, fairly close to the average esti-mate of 91.725 million acres and to the MarchUSDA 91.691-million-acre forecast. Acres are down4 percent from last year’s 95.365 million plantedacres. Corn acreage is the lowest since 2010, but thefifth-largest since 1944. Taking total acreage for allcrops, this is the highest planted acreage since 1997.Minnesota’s corn acreage was 8.5 million acres,down 100,000 acres from last year.

Grain AnglesManaging cashflow projections

I’ve been thinking a lot about the extremely low tonegative margins facing the 2014 and 2015 corn cropswhen using the December 2014 and 2015 Chicago Boardof Trade prices ($4.43 and $4.58 as of Dec. 26, 2014).

If these slim to negative margins continue to persistthis fall and next spring we willstart to see working capital posi-tions — (Current Assets - CurrentLiabilities) and Term Debt Cover-age Ratios ((Net Farm Incomefrom Operations + Non-FarmIncome + Depreciation + TermInterest Expense – Income Taxes –Family Living) / (Term PrincipalPayments + Term InterestExpenses)) — tighten up for alarger pool of grain farmers.

Dramatically lower year-endprices on our Dec. 31, 2013 bal-ance sheets started tightening upmany producers’ working capital positions last winter.Couple this with a second straight year of tight mar-gins, and cash positions will continue to deteriorate.

So, what are we actively doing today about this situa-tion? In order to get our arms around this problem weneed to stay engaged in our 2014 and 2015 cash flow pro-jections.We need to manage the things we can control:

• Manage your 2014 income tax situation wisely.It’s extremely important for all producers to stay ontop of this. Make sure capital purchases are for theright reasons and don’t put your Term Debt CoverageRatio below a 1:1 situation because you borrowedfunds to save tax dollars.

• Corn/soybean rotations? Continue to review your2015 projections and make sound decisions on your2015 planting intentions.

• Consider marketing strategies to protect your

Livestock AnglesLivestock markets

are on fireAs we finish the month of June the livestock mar-

kets are on fire. New contract highs in the futures oflive cattle, feeder cattle and hogs and all time highsin the cash cattle and feeder cattle markets wereaccomplished entering the end of the month.

Sometimes it appears that thereis no end in the cattle rally, how-ever as with every market it willend when no one expects it. Therally started with the decline innumbers or the decrease in supply.

The end of the market will comefrom the other side of the equa-tion, the decline in the demandfor beef. When this takes placewould be merely a guess by all theprognosticators and analysts.Until this event takes place themomentum and bullish attitudeswill dominate the market.

From a fundamental standpoint, the higher thebeef cutout climbs, the better chance that there willbe resistance to the higher prices paid by the con-sumers. That has been evident each time the cutouthas surpassed the $240.00 cwt. level the movementof boxed beef has reacted with fewer loads traded.

From the producer’s point of view, caution shouldbe the main factor in their marketing scheme. Cau-tion toward protecting the gains achieved during thiscurrent bull move in the anticipation and reality thatthis move will not last forever.

The hog market has seen prices paid for live inven-tory by the packers improve dramatically in the pastfew weeks. The decline in hog numbers seems to bethe factor that has turned the market from a declinein prices to a decent recovery.

The demand for pork product has also been a posi-

AUG’13 SEP OCT NOV DEC JAN ’14 FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL

NYSTROM, from pg. 10Call it piling on, but corn conditions

improved 1 percent to 75 percentgood/excellent as of June 29. This is thebest rating for late June in 15 years andthe fifth-highest since 1986. Silking wasoccurring in 5 percent of the crop versusthe average of 9 percent. After all therainfall and flooding, most traders wereanticipating a small drop in the rating.This confirms that areas benefitingfrom this spring’s weather outweigh theareas that received excessive moisture.

Weekly ethanol production was up15,000 barrels to 953,000 barrels perday, the second highest weekly produc-tion since December 2011. Stocks werejust fractionally higher at 18.2 millionbarrels. Weekly export sales were inline with expectations at 11.4 millionbushels when we only need 10.1 millionper week to achieve the USDA’s 1.9 bil-lion bushel estimate. China announcedthey plan to move away from cornstockpiling which would reduce importsand domestic prices in coming years.

Informa Economics updated theirbalance sheets this week. They areusing a corn yield of 165.0 bushels peracre for a crop of 13.731 billionbushels. On the June 11 crop report,the USDA used 165.3 bu./acre for acrop of 13.935 billion bushels.

OUTLOOK: December corn brokethrough support to a new contract lowof $4.14 1⁄4 in post-report trading. Cornclosed lower every day this week. The$4.00 level will be the next target, butthere’s nothing magical there to stop itif the crop size continues to grow.Weather forecasts into the middle ofJuly do not pose any threat at this timeto pollination, which has started in Illi-nois, Indiana and Missouri. In a nut-shell, dare we say it, weather looksnearly ideal for the next two weeks.

The next 2014-15 balance sheets will

be released July 11 onthe monthly crop report.Without a change in fore-casts, it’s unlikely the USDA will see aneed to lower their 165.3 bu./acre yieldforecast. September corn toppled 32 3⁄4cents for the week, setting a new con-tract low at $4.08 1⁄2 in the process, tosettle at $4.09 1⁄2 per bushel. TheDecember contract crashed 32 cents toclose at $4.15 1⁄4 per bushel, just off thenew contract low of $4.14 1⁄2 per bushel.

SOYBEANS — Soybean numberswere a bear’s dream this week withstocks and planted acreage both largerthan anticipated. Stocks as of June 1at 405 million were 27 million higherthan the forecast, but down 30 millionbushels from last year. Iowa has thelargest stocks on hand at just over 94million bushels. Minnesota has 38.5million bushels in storage. For theUnited States, 26.9 percent or 109.1million bushels of the stocks are heldon-farm with 73.1 percent or 296.1million bushels off-farm. Last year,39.4 percent (171 million bushels)were on-farm and 60.6 percent (263.4million bushels) were off-farm.

Soybean planted acres were a record84.839 acres on this week’s report.This surpassed the highest pre-reportprojection, the average projection ofjust 82.154 million acres and theMarch 81.493 million estimate. If accu-rate, this year’s acres are up 8.306 mil-lion acres or 10.9 percent over lastyear. Record bean acreage is expectedfor Minnesota, Michigan, Nebraska,North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota,Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and NewYork. Both Illinois and Iowa planted10.1 million acres each, something notseen since 2006. Minnesota waspegged at 7.5 million acres, up 800,000acres over last year. Some chatter isbeing bandied about that the USDAwill have to account for drowned-outbean acres on later reports.

Soybean conditionswere unchanged as ofJune 29 at 72 percent

good/excellent.Traders were looking for asmall decline in the rating after excessivemoisture around the upper Midwest theprevious week. Minnesota’s bean condi-tions fell 5 percent in the good/excellentcategory. Ten percent of the U.S. beancrop was blooming as of the report.

Rumors floated around the marketthis week that China was trying to sellold crop Brazilian bean cargoes whileshopping for new crop cargoes. Beanstocks at Chinese ports are estimated ata record 7 million metric tons. Workersat the Rosario port in Argentinaannounced an indefinite strike begin-ning July 4, which is not unusual for thistime of year. A respected private firmpegged this year’s U.S. bean yield at 44.5bu./acre for a crop of 3.7 billion bushels.The June USDA balance sheet used 45.2bu./acre for a 3.635 billion bushel crop.

Weekly export sales continue tomount. This week’s sales at 1.5 millionbushels bring total export commitmentsto 1.672 billion bushels, well above the1.60 billion bushel USDA projection.Even with the “normal” roll of old cropsales into new crop of 40-50 millionbushels, we’re still above the export fore-cast. This week’s stocks report does givethe USDA some room to raise the exportcategory on the July 11 balance sheets.

OUTLOOK: Soybeans broke hard tothe downside in response to the USDAnumbers and never really lookedback. Where do we go from here? Justbecause the reports said we have morebeans than we thought, the market’sjob is to get them to move into themarketing channels. This leaves openthe possibility of some fireworks forold crop basis, and maybe the board.

South American bean premiumsbegan to jump higher this past weekas Brazil’s Sept. 1 bean stocks arebeing forecast at the tightest in thelast 10 years. New crop won’t be sofortunate. Unless the crop is threat-ened, we’ll stay with the overall down-trend with a few corrections andprofit-taking sessions thrown in.

The next downside target in Novem-ber beans is $11.00 per bushel, butthe contract low is $10.54 per busheland should act as a magnet if weathercontinues to be conducive to cropdevelopment. For the week, Augustsoybeans lost a whopping 78 1⁄4 cents,closing at $12.99 3⁄4 per bushel.November soybeans plummeted anamazing 94 1⁄2 cents in four sessionsto close at $11.33 1⁄2 per bushel.

Nystrom: Soybean numbers ‘a bear’s dream’

TEALE, from pg. 10tive in this recent upturn in the prices.The comparison of competitive meatsprices, pork is a very good value. How-ever like everything considered, if porkcutouts increase too much the demandfor pork could decline.

When it comes to the supply, theUSDA released the Quarterly Hogsand Pigs report on June 27. The find-ings were as follows: All hogs and pigs95 percent; Kept for Breeding 100 per-cent; and Kept for marketing 95 per-cent. The March- May pig crop 95 per-

cent and the pigs per litter 95 percent.

This report was seen as friendly as allmajor categories were below expecta-tions, and is likely reflecting the effectsof the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus onthe entire hog herd. With hog numberslower, the prospects for higher pricesbegins to increase in possibilities.

Producers should not forget that thefact that demand will be the determiningfactor in where the market eventuallygoes and should protect inventories whenthe opportunity presents itself. ❖

KRIENER, from pg. 10bottom side revenue. If you’re not com-municating with a marketing expertnow is the time to search one out.

• Manage all of your expense cate-gories. It’s extremely difficult to savelarge dollars in any one expense cate-gory. We all need to do our homeworkand save a little bit in each and everyexpense category. Diligently work onplans that will help you achieve thesesmall expense category wins and theoutcome will surprise you.

• If not already reviewing and dis-cussing rental contract arrangements,now is the time to start the process.

Rental arrangements will determineour largest input expense and will alsodetermine landlord rate of returns. Due tothe past strong grain profitability we havehad a dramatic rise in rental rates. Theupper-end rental arrangements workedwith proper management but with thesignificantly lower prices facing us todayour margins on these farms have pushedsignificantly below breakeven. Landlordsand tenants need to find a middle ground

on these farms.An extremely good optionis a flexible lease rental agreement.

We started to see rents soften thisspring and with tight margins and wecan all assume that this trend will con-tinue. Now is the time to be proactive asa landlord or a tenant and explore flexi-ble leasing options. Landlords who takea smaller rent upfront today will helptheir tenant stay closer to breakevenwith the ability to profit greatly if grainprices move up dramatically.

The past has proven that we are in ahighly volatile grain market and withvolatility comes opportunity. Don’t beshort-sighted today and miss out ontremendous upside in future years.Starting a strong partnership betweenlandlord and tenant today will help bothparties achieve their long-term goals.

National Milk Producers Federa-tion President and Chief ExecutiveOfficer Jim Mulhern, in reaction to the White Houseannouncement that an impasse exists in Washington

over immigration reform, stated: “It isvery frustrating for America’s dairyfarmers that our elected officials could

not set aside partisan politics this year in order tofinally address the dysfunctional policy of our immi-gration system. The irony is that virtually everyoneon both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue admits the sta-tus quo is unacceptable; yet we seem destined to con-tinue suffering from it, because common-sensereforms remain beyond our reach.

“In addition to the headaches this dilemma posesto dairy farmers, who still have to deal with work-force challenges, the lack of a legislative fix to ourimmigration system is bad news for America’s con-sumers, all of whom are dependent on a domesticfood production system that itself is dependent onimmigrant workers.”

■

In other policy news; “Efforts to impose added reg-ulations on dairy farms under the new Food SafetyModernization Actare not warrantedbecause milk leav-ing farms for fur-ther processing isnot a significantpublic health riskfrom intentionaladulteration,” theNational Milk Pro-ducers Federationwrote in commentsto the Food andDrug Administra-tion.

The FDA is reviewing comments about the FSMAlaw, which is the most significant change to foodsafety legislation in many years. Part of the scope ofFSMA is to enhance the safety protocols aroundfoods that may be subject to intentional adulteration,by terrorists looking to threaten or injure people, orcause economic harm to certain companies or indus-tries.

“We disagree with the premise that on-farm milkdestined for pasteurization is a high-risk food,” saidBeth Briczinski, NMPF’s Vice President of DairyFoods and Nutrition. Raw fluid milk for pasteuriza-tion moves among various regions of the country andis in constant flux to meet specific processingdemands. Because of the challenge of predicting theprecise processing facility and type of product oringredient to which an individual farm’s milk is ulti-mately destined, NMPF concluded that “activities ondairy farms should not be addressed through thisrule.” A full copy of NMPF’s comments can be foundhere.

In addition to its perspective on food defense anddairy farms, NMPF also submitted comments to theFDA with the International Dairy Foods Association,focused on preventing intentional adulteration atdairy processing plants.

“For the livestock farmers your issueis that you need feed. The dollars fromprevent planting payments reallymean nothing to you,” saidCokato-area alfalfa producerHarlan Anderson, never oneto mince words.

“So my recommendation isignore the PP program andplant full season corn at reg-ular populations, even ifplanting in July. Realize youmay end up chopping the crop since it’snot likely to produce mature grain, butyou will have a high-sugar corn, high-protein corn and I’m confident it willtaste better to your cattle than a bunchof ‘prevent planting’ paperwork.”

Anderson was one of about 125 farm-ers, crop consultants, insurance reps andothers who participated in a June 19 ses-sion at Hutchinson, Minn., Event Centerand hosted by Nathan Winter, Univer-sity of Minnesota Extension Educatorfor McLeod and Meeker counties.

Evident during the two-hour ques-tion and answer session was the confu-sion, uncertainty, and misunderstand-ing over just what the preventplanting program was all about.

“I wouldn’t be concerned with Julyplanting,” Anderson said. “Those seedswill germinate, emerge and grow soquickly. Soils will be warm, there’sgoing to be plenty of sunshine, everydayphotosynthesis will be going on. Sure,the later you plant, the less you yield.But even with half the yield that’s bet-ter than trying to figure out whereyou’re going to find your feed next fall ifyou have none from your own farm.”Farm bill foibles

Commenting on the new farm bill,Anderson, strongly critical of Federallegislation guiding agriculture, said hissources tell him it will be into Decem-ber before all the rules, regulations anddetails are fully understood. And thatapplies to prevent planting programs

where local Farm ServiceAgency offices remain “gun shy” aboutdisclosing details because details aren’tyet printed in the Federal Register.

“I thought they should not do a newfarm bill,” he said. “And it apparentlywas within just a few hours of notpassing but last-minute lobbying by allthe farm group interests pushedthrough passage even though theydon’t know what they passed. Now it’staking months to figure out exactlywhat is in this 900-page document.

“Hopefully this is the last farm billbecause as details spill out, regulatorsand now farmers are confused with whatthey are seeing and hearing. Details onthis latest prevent plant program are agood example. I see this as the dumbest,most confusing, most devastating farmlegislation that I have ever seen.”Alfalfa know-how

A long-time alfalfa producer prima-rily for the equine population aroundthe Twin Cities, Anderson knows thecharacteristics of this legume when toomuch water is the situation.

He said alfalfa doesn’t like wet feet solow-lying areas of his cropland areseeded to reed canary grass which takeswet feet in stride. That quality has beentested recently on Anderson Farms.

“We now have a lot of lakeshore prop-erty that we didn’t have four days ago,”he said. “I heard this morning this isthe most June rain we’ve had since2002. In 2002, ’03, and ’04 we probably

had 100 acres under water each sea-son. But with alfalfa we didn’t haveany erosion; we still had the land andit wasn’t in the Gulf of Mexico.

“Since that time we keep all our lowground in reed canary grass which wegrind up and incorporate into ourhorse feed. We normally get three cut-

tings from the reed; this year proba-bly only two. Because we’re growingfor the equine industry we let ouralfalfa go full bloom which gives ushigh fiber, low energy and low protein.Full bloom yields more tonnage andmeets the needs of our clients. Horsepeople are particular.” ❖

PREVENT, from pg. 1Weather “what-ifs”

If it gets hot and dry, Salfer said thata brown midrib sorghum or sorghum-sudan grass might be a better choice.Of course, no one knows what’s aroundthe corner, weather-wise, and withplenty of moisture in the ground, thencorn might still be the best bet.

Salfer is a long-time veteran of theMinnesota agriculture landscape and,

like others, wonders about the hugeprecipitation much of the region expe-rienced this late spring/early summer.

“If this is the new normal of Min-nesota weather,” he said, “we reallyneed to do some research on cropchoices, when to plant, yield projec-tions based on late plantings, etc. Tome at least in central Minnesota this isby far the ‘worst’ planting season wehave ever experienced.” ❖

Cover story: Prevent confusion

Even with half theyield, that’s better thantrying to figure outwhere ou’re going tofind your feed next fallif you have none fromyour own farm.

Wet weather has generated interestin bigger tires with more flotation tocarry crop sprayers. Obviously dualtires provide much more flotation andmore traction, both key in making wetfields doable.

Chris Hanson, sales rep for KeltgenTall Tires of Olivia, Minn., indicatedgrowers in both 20/22-inch rows and30-inch rows were ramping up withduals. “It boils down to more flotation,better stability, simply more rubberon the ground,” he said.

“Tall tires for tractors have been ourmainstay for the past 20-plus yearsbut the last couple of years we’ve hadlots of activity with crop sprayers,

both the big self-propelled and pull-type units. And in today’s world every-one is spraying more so this has beengreat business for us.”

Another expanding market for Kelt-gen Tall Tires is the rapidly expandingsize of combines.

“Machinery keeps getting bigger,”Hanson said. “These new combineheads, especially if equipped withchopper heads and 400 bushel andlarger grain tanks, are incrediblyheavy. So we build the special rims andsize them up with the rubber. It’s a big-ger tire option than what’s offeredfrom the factory and we feel a strongerpackage, too.”

Hanson said the tougher corn stalks

of today’s hybrids are a challenge tofield tires, saying “stubble damage”has become a very large issue in theworld of farm tires. Even soybeanstalks have become an issue as breed-ers develop stronger stems to “carrymore bushels” per acre. Many soybeangrowers also harvest their fields at anangle to the soybean rows, thus expos-ing tires to even more stubble.

“What makes us unique,” said Han-son, “is that we’re offering a productthat you can’t get from the factory, be

that red machinery or green machin-ery or yellow or whatever the brandname of the equipment manufacturer.”

He said there are only a couple oftractor and farm equipment rim man-ufacturers in the United States butsome outfits buy the various factorypieces and then resell them as specialcustom rims. “They’re taking thecookie cutter stuff and reselling as cus-tom made. But that’s a stretch,” Han-son said. “We make our own steel cen-ters. We buy blank rims andreconfigure to fit equipment units asneeded. Ours are not the ‘cookie cutter’rims that you get from John Deere,Case-IH and such.”

They’re particular about the rubberthat gets fitted on the rims they build.“I don’t like to have problems in thefield so we always equip with the bestrubber,” he said. “But you live withreality — agriculture puts equipmentin a hazardous environment whichoften is running over stuff damaging tothe rubber regardless the brand. Wepredominantly are selling Michelinand Firestone. If a customer requests,we also do Goodyear/Titan. We can sellthe cheaper generic tire but if it’s gotour Tall Tire label on the wheel wewant a totally good setup for that cus-tomer.”

A good agricultural economy the pastthree to four years has translated togood business for Keltgen Tall Tires.“When equipment is moving we’re busy,”said Hanson. “Quite often a farmer buysa used tractor with wide rubber but hewants narrow. We can be very specificwhen it comes to meeting the demandsof any particular farmer.” ❖

Dick Hagen

Chris Hanson with one of Keltgen’s talltires.

By RICHARD SIEMERSThe Land Correspondent

When the wind storm and tornadoswept across Minnesota on July 1,2011, it tore apart pole sheds andleft other major damage behind. Italso had the nerve to take on an ele-vator on Gary Schmidt’s farm westof Vesta, and while it managed totear off part of the roof, the stormnever really had a chance.

This is not just any old elevator, however. It’s asolid 85-foot commercial elevator that started its lifein Vesta.

Vesta has always been a collection point for grain.When the town was incorporated 1900, three eleva-tors stood there, according to Schmidt. The “BlueElevator” burned down in 1907. The Bingham or“East” Elevator was torn town in 1974 when the

cooperative expandedits storage facility,adding two large grainlegs and a 60-ton truckscale.

The third was calledthe “Red” Elevator, a60-foot 18,000 bushelbuilding erected by theMinnesota ElevatorCompany. In 1954 thecooperative had addedthe 85-foot 36,000bushel building.

Vesta continued togrow as a collectionpoint, and in 2000Vesta Farmers Eleva-tor (now MeadowlandsFarmers Co-op) con-structed a million

bushel bin. The two remaining wooden elevators hadto go and were slated for demolition. Given theirsolid wood construction, it would be an expensiveproject — tearing down, hauling away, and burning.

Schmidt said he hated to see the 1899 elevatordemolished, given its long history in the area. Heapproached the company about acquiring it.

“They said they wanted to get rid of both of them,”Schmidt said. “The larger one had uses.”

What started as an interest in history moved into apractical way to have storage on his farm. Becausethe Co-op was saving the demolition costs, they gavethe two elevators to Schmidt and even helped withthe moving cost.

The move took place in January of 2001 and natu-rally drew onlookers. The mover jacked up the build-ings and put wheels under them. His pressure gaugeshowed the larger building weighed 120 tons. Theyheaded west of Vesta on County Highway 30 for twomiles and turned off on a gravel road. With a steadypace, the trip lasted fifteen minutes.

Given the height of the buildings, raising the

Tornado was no match for elevator built in 1954

ELEVATOR, from pg. 15power lines was not an option. Aheadof the elevators, one crew cut thepower lines. A second crew followedand put the lines back together.

The 1899 elevator was placed on abuilding site owned by Schmidt’s son.It rests on a hillside, unused at themoment, as a salvaged piece of history.Schmidt has had thoughts of remodel-ing it into living space, but he has nodefinite plans.

The 1954 elevator turned in atSchmidt’s farmsite and was placed on afoundation that is eight inches ofcement six feet into the ground, “sittingon solid clay,” Schmidt said. “There arefoundation walls that crisscross under-neath so that each bin sits on a com-plete four-sided foundation. In addition,there are six posts under each bin.”

The foundation was designed to holdthe 120-ton building plus the added weight of36,000 bushels of corn.

While it is covered with tin, the elevator is solid wood.“It’s what they call cribbing,” Schmidt said. “There

are 10 feet of 2x8 boards on the bottom, then 40 feetof 2x6 boards, and the rest 2x4 boards, all laid flat-wise, building up an inch-and-a-half at time, andthey’re nailed about a foot on each side, staggered, soabout every six inches on one side or the otherthere’s a spike going down. It’s solid.”

Schmidt was told it is one of the safest places to bein a tornado. No doubt the 2011 storm realized that,so it tore off part of the roof and moved on. That was

trouble enough.“It’s hard to find people who are willing to come up

there and help me,” Schmidt said with a grin. “Thereare very few days even I can work up there. Wewatch the cottonwood tree. If the leaves are flutter-ing, it’s too windy. If the leaves are just hangingthere, quick, get up and do something.”

An interest in history and practicality combined tobring these two elevators to the 320-acre farm ofGary and Barb Schmidt. He used PCV pipe to addthe “Schmidt” name and the year “1905” to the stor-age elevator, indicating the year his great-grandfa-ther purchased the farm.

Now the Schmidt farm and its 85-foot tall elevatorwill continue their history together. ❖

ELITE SERIES ROTA-DISC CORNHEADSGENERATIONS AHEAD OF THE COMPETITION1) Slices stalks vertically with 15 serrated discs. No swing blades2) Ground speed and moister have very little effect on material size.3) Much lower horse power requirements than competition.4) Corn head driven with drive shafts and gear boxes. No chain and sprockets like the competition.5) Aluminum alloy gear boxes to reduce weight and dissipate heat.6) Self-tightening gathering chains.7) Double acting stripper plates with welding on hardened edge.8) Large diameter auger that turn slower, reducing ear loss.9) Corn stalk stubble in field is splintered to reduce tire damage if driven over.10) Optional Integrated Crop Sweeper and End Row Augers for improved crop.

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

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Managing Editor Tom Royer

His plane took off from the Clear Lake,Iowa, airport at 12:55 a.m. on Tues-day, Feb. 3, 1959, as weather condi-

tions were beginning to deteriorate. On aflight to Fargo, N.D., that was cut shortafter just five miles, a rock ‘n’ roll super-star’s life was cut short after just 22 years.

Only two years prior, Buddy Holly hadbecome an overnight sensation with therelease of “That’ll Be the Day,” followed byhits such as “Peggy Sue,” “Everyday,” “NotFade Away,” “Oh, Boy!” and “Rave On.”Appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show andAmerican Bandstand made Holly the nextbig thing in music, and he was asked to joina group including fellow up-and-comersRitchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper”Richardson on a grueling winter tour of 24cities in 24 days across the Upper Midwest.

After 10 days of darting back and forthacross Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa onfrigid and foul-smelling tour buses, their11th performance was Feb. 2 at ClearLake’s Surf Ballroom. Holly chose to char-ter a small plane to their next gig in Moor-head, Minn., rather than put up with yetanother tedious and uncomfortable busride. There was room for only two othersamong the tour group’s musicians. Suffer-ing from the flu, Richardson grabbed thesecond spot on the plane; the final seatwent to Valens on a coin flip.

Investigators determined that the trio’syoung pilot did not see weather reportsthat might have dissuaded him from fly-ing that snowy night, in a plane withwhich he was not entirely familiar. Noradio contact with them could be madeafter their early morning takeoff, and theFargo airport never heard from them.

The plane’s wreckage, along with thebodies of Holly, Valens, Richardson andthe pilot, Roger Peterson, was found laterthat morning only a few miles northwestof Clear Lake, crumpled against the fence-line of a frozen cornfield.

You are welcome to make a pilgrimage tothe crash site to pay your respects to theyoung men who died that day 55 years ago,but you’re on your own to find it. Thelandowner allows visitors access along thatsolemn fenceline, but locating the site —marked by an oversized replica of Holly’strademark black-framed eyeglasses alonga gravel road — is up to you. ❖
