Fair-Goer’s Guide for

Minnesota & Iowa!

Save it for asummer full of

fun!

In view of this most challenging springfor farmers everywhere (except the fortu-nate few in some garden spots), a lessonon stress is my contribution this time. I’mnot pretending to be a psychiatrist, but Iam good at picking up and passing alongitems from Cyberspace. So please do readon, especially if you are a recent highschool graduate.

A young lady confidently walked aroundthe room with a raised glass of waterwhile discussing stress management toher audience. Everyone knew she wasgoing to ask the ultimate question, “halfempty or half full?” She fooled them all.Instead she asked, “How heavy is thisglass of water?” Answers called out ranged from 8ounces to 20 ounces.

She replied, “the absolute weight doesn’t matter. Itdepends on how long I hold it. If only for a minute,that’s not a problem. If I hold it foran hour, I’ll have an ache in my arm.If I hold it for a day, you’ll have tocall an ambulance. In each case it’sthe same weight, but the longer Ihold it, the heavier it becomes.”

She continued, “and that’s the wayit is with stress. If we carry our bur-dens all the time, sooner or later, asthe burden becomes increasinglyheavy, we won’t be able to carry on.

“As with the glass of water, youhave to put it down for a while andrest before holding it again. Whenwe’re refreshed, we can carry onwith the burden — holding stresslonger and better each time practiced.”

So each evening put down all your burdens. Don’tcarry them into the night. Let them wait until tomor-row. And recognize these lessons of life.

• Accept the fact that some days you’re the pigeon,and some days you’re the statue.

• Always keep your words soft and sweet, just incase you have to eat them.

• Always read stuff that will make you look good ifyou die in the middle of it.

• Drive carefully ... it’s not only cars that can berecalled by their maker.

• If you can’t be kind, at least have the decency tobe vague.

• If you lend someone $20 and never see that per-son again, it was probably worth it.

• It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply

to serve as a warning to others.• Never buy a car you can’t push.• Never put both feet in your mouth at

the same time, because then you won’thave a leg to stand on.

• Nobody cares if you can’t dance well.Just get up and dance.

• Since it’s the early worm that getseaten by the bird, sleep late.

• The second mouse gets the cheese.• When everything’s coming your way,

you’re in the wrong lane.• Birthdays are good for you. The

more you have, the longer you live.• Some mistakes are too much fun to make only

once.• A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the

scenery on a detour.• Have an awesome day and know

that someone has thought about youtoday.

And most importantly ...• Save the earth — it’s the only

planet with chocolate. I think!This sums it up neatly: Be the kind

of person that when your feet hit thefloor each morning the devil says —“Oh crap, he’s/she’s up!”Welcome to ‘your’ world

High school graduations stole theheadlines earlier this month. Iapplaud you new “citizen of the realworld.” Little do you realize that in

just a few years it will be your decisions shaping thedestiny of your communities, your state, even yournation. We’re presenting you with an incredible chal-lenge and a “bankruptcy legacy” that will continue tohaunt indefinitely.

We’re brazenly accepting an entitlement societythat only feeds upon itself. Yet in another 30 yearsthis world will have ballooned from 7 1/2 billion per-sons to 9 billion. And the biggest growth will beamong the “under privileged” of China, India, Africa,even Brazil that rapidly are moving into betterincomes, better diets, a desire for a better educationfor their children and a free-market economy fortheir farmers.

What then? Graduates of 2013, it will be your ball-game. Take charge. You can’t mess up any more thanwe current participants.

Keep stress in perspective

LAND MINDS

By Dick Hagen

See MINDS, pg. 4

So eachevening putdown all yourburdens. Don’tcarry them intothe night. Letthem wait untiltomorrow. Andrecognize theselessons of life.

If you thought the farm bill fight wasbad, you’re gonna’ hate the coming battleover the reauthorization of the Commod-ity Futures Trading Commission.

You remember the CFTC, right?It’s the futures market regulator that

everyone despises until some brokeragefirm takes $700 million from customeraccounts a day before it belly-flops intobankruptcy (MF Global in 2011) or agood-hair commodity broker blows $200-million-plus of customer cash (PeregrineFinancial Group Inc., 2012) into the Iowaatmosphere.

The CFTC watches more than Ameri-can schemers and reamers.

In 2012, the agency whacked overseas banks whoseemployees allegedly skinned an estimated $6 billionfrom American governmental bodies by playing theLondon Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, like arigged slot machine. Futures for LIBOR, used ininterest rate-setting for the $350-trillion global debtmarket, trade in Chicago.

No one on either the Senate or House ag commit-tees, in charge of CFTC oversight and its renewal,wants to shut down the regulator. Some, however,want to micro-manage, even strangle, the huge roleCongress gave the CFTC when it passed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer ProtectionAct.

You remember Dodd-Frank, right?Congress passed the massive reform law in mid-

2010, two years after global financial giants nearlyblew up the global economy through little known,completely unseen market instruments called“swaps.”

When the swaps market tanked in 2008, according

to the Institute of Agriculture and TradePolicy, the “Federal Reserve Bank systemrescued both U.S. and European OTC(over the counter) broker dealers withmore than $19 trillion ... in emergencyloans” and put up “another $10 trillion inloans” for European banks.

To keep that from happening again, Con-gress ordered the then-unregulated swapsmarket regulated and gave the CFTCauthority through Dodd-Frank to do it.

Some ag committee members, however,want to limit Dodd-Frank’s reach into the

global market. These mostly GOP, anti-regulation backers claim the “free” mar-ket will reward saints and slay sinners

and global money markets will be better with fewer,not more, rules.

Not surprisingly, that’s also the view of big bankboys.

You remember the big bank boys, right?They designed, ran and then ran off the rails the

shadow “swaps” financial system that, in 2008,required $700 billion of your money to fix. Theybelieve — rightly, as it turns out — that if you and Iare going to bail them out whenever they burnthrough a trillion or so bucks on bad bets, they don’tneed no stinkin’ swaps rules.

And they’re working hard and spending heavy toensure it.

OpenSecrets.org, a non-partisan watchdog thattracks money in politics, estimates that the top fivebank biz lobbying efforts opposed to Dodd-Frankspent a collective $163.5 million in 2012 to delay,defang and dilute it.

That’s after an estimated $1 billion they spent ina massive, failed attempt to defeat it in Congress in2010.

The boys are having better luck now; three yearsafter passage, barely half of the administrativerules to enforce Dodd-Frank are in place. The restare tied up in a foot-dragging Congress and, unbe-lievably for a law not yet in force, in court.

One of the banking boys’ best friends in Congressis Frank Lucas, R-Okla., chairman of the House agcommittee. Like the bankers, he’s perfectly happy touse CFTC reauthorization to re-fight Dodd-Frank.

And he is. In a May 21 ag committee hearing, “TheFuture of the CFTC,” Lucas lectured colleagues to“keep at the forefront the prevailing issue facing thecountry: economic growth and job creation,” not the“unrealistic timeline established in Dodd-Frank.”

Most Americans would say the “prevailing issuefacing the country” is the safety of the nation, notthe success of a bunch bone-headed, bailed-outbankers.

My weather comment: we got 1 1/2inches of rain the morning of June 12near Olivia. We definitely needed agood soaker. My gauge showed only 1.4inches since May 1. Our subsoils werebordering on “dangerously dry.”Strange talk considering the U.S.Department of Agriculture’s latest cropreport which indicated upwards of 3million acres of corn nationwide didn’t

get planted.However, 10 days of sun-

shine and this crabby, crappyworld will take on some startling newdimensions despite a few million acresof prevent plant fields now sproutingacross much of middle America.Thoughts of $5 corn this fall have nowrapidly morphed back up to $7.

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

Granted, the seed corn indus-try deserves tremendous creditfor the incredible genetic explo-sion over the past 25 years. Butjust maybe the U.S. swine indus-try has made even more progressin this same quarter century,suggests Neil Dierks, CEO of theNational Pork Producers Council.

Interviewed at the recent World PorkExpo in Des Moines, Dierks said, “ifyou take a look at what the pork indus-try has accomplished the past 25 years

it tells an amazing story. Notto belittle the achievements

of seed industry, but the increases inthe efficiencies and productive capac-ity of the U.S. swine industry is aboutthree times that of hybrid seed corn.

“And this is all happening because

U.S. hog producers areworking with better genet-ics, superior nutrition,improved environmentsand a tremendous adoptionof new technologies. Whatused to be 3-plus pounds offeed per pound of gain, is

now 2 pounds feed per poundof gain. Today sows average 10 pigs perlitter compared to 7.7 pigs in 1988. It’sbeen a tremendous success story forthe industry, and for America.”

Dierks give credit to the Americanconsumer for being the key driver inthis remarkable growth of the U.S.swine industry. “The food chain reallystarts with consumers and their buy-ing habits. Pork continues to be theprotein source of choice with most fam-ilies and as more pork products getinto the market place, producers andpackers keep responding to this mar-ket demand.

“Today’s genetics are growing a big-ger, better muscled and leaner carcass.It just goes to show that with science,innovations and hard work, you canprovide tremendous diversity to thisconsumer who, in fact, is demandingmore diversity in her/his meat choices.”

Despite the economic squeeze onconsumer dollars for the food budget,consumption of pork products hasstayed good, Dierks said. He acknowl-edges that poultry and turkey prod-ucts have become major competitorsin most meat counters across Amer-ica, partly because of “taste appeal”and price. Beef has had some chal-lenges, however.

U.S. pork exports are also helpingdomestic consumers because theexport market is taking much of the“undervalued” cuts which commandhigher prices in export sales. Also theexport market generates more inno-vation diversity.

“The Japanese require specificationson a pork belly that are different fromthe bellies we use for bacon,” Dierkssaid. He said this diversity within for-eign markets is resulting in pork loinsbeing more abundant and more cost-competitive in the American market.

This diversity of tastes is often dis-played in America, too. Dierks sug-gested that in San Francisco’s “ChinaTown” consumers might be payingmore per pound for pig’s feet than

Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the2013 World Pork Expo attracted nearly20,000 pork producers and leadersfrom 39 countries to Des Moines, June5-7. Presented by the National PorkProducers Council, Expo featured theworld’s largest pork-specific tradeshow with more than 400 commercialexhibits from throughout the world.Expo’s three days were filled with sem-inars offering the latest managementinsights, free pork barbecue and oppor-tunities for attendees to interact withfellow producers. In what has become amajor youth event, the World PorkExpo Junior National set anotherrecord for participation in its showsand other competitions.

“Overall this year, producers wereupbeat, the exhibitors were busy, andwe had great weather and good crowds,”said Randy Spronk, NPPC presidentand pork producer from Edgerton,Minn. “World Pork Expo is a great placeto share ideas and talk business withvendors and fellow pork producers. It’sa tremendous producer event.”A record junior show

From its humble beginnings in 2003with 120 hogs, the World Pork ExpoJunior National now ranks among thepremier youth shows in the UnitedStates. This year’s edition, hosted bythe National Junior Swine Associationand Team Purebred, set another recordwith 1,600 pigs exhibited by 678 jun-iors from 26 states.

Concluding World Pork Expo was theopen show, which involved more than200 exhibitors and nearly 600 hogs.The top-selling boar, the reserve cham-pion Yorkshire shown by Kari andKristin Boyum, and Zach and Katie

Loppnow, BOLO Showpigs, Lake City,Minn., was purchased by Hi PointGenetics of Chrisman, Ill., for$100,000. A crossbred gilt shown byCody Wolf, Whitesboro, Texas, was thetop gilt, selling to Rockin’ G Swine,Sentinel, Okla., for $17,000.More 25th-anniversary highlights

The ever-famous Big Grill returnedfor its 25th consecutive year. Volun-teers from the Tama County Pork Pro-ducers Association once again mannedthe Big Grill and served more than10,000 free pork lunches.

For the second year in a row duringExpo, NPPC graciously donated $3,000in Domino’s Pizza gift cards to the FoodBank of Iowa for distribution to areafamilies in need. Another $1,000 ofDomino’s Pizza gift cards were donatedto Des Moines’ Youth Emergency Shel-ter & Services, which provides assis-tance to children, youth and families.

Also popular were nearly two dozenbusiness seminars and PORK Acad-emy seminars, offering the latestinsights in production management,market outlook and strategic planning.A special session on Wednesday pre-sented a panel of swine veterinariansand diagnostic experts to update pro-ducers on the porcine epidemic diar-rhea virus that has surfaced in U.S.herds since mid-April. Discussion cen-tered on PEDV symptoms and infec-tion rates, as well as prevention andbiosecurity protocols.

Looking ahead to next year, NPPCannounced dates for the 2014 WorldPork Expo — June 4-6, at the IowaState Fairgrounds in Des Moines, Iowa.

World Pork Expo setsupbeat tone, show record

DIERKS, from pg. 5Apork loin. He said bacon has enjoyed a “10-year renais-sance” of taste experimentations in different dishes,especially salads, because it brings a special taste.

“The profile of bacon matches up very well withthe human desire for taste. And that is why we areseeing bacon become the ‘star menu item’ at manyrestaurants.”

The pork loin continues as a competitive meatproduct on a nutrition, calorie, and cholesterol levelwith skinless chicken breasts.

“It’s not about one-size-fits-all. It’s about meetingspecific desires in the market place,” said Dierks,adding that the National Pork Board has developedspecific nutrition programs for dietitians, nutri-tional and health professionals dealing with thehealth benefits of pork, especially when dealingwith obesity issues.

Relating to the purchase of Smithfield Pork by a Chi-nese business entity, Dierks indicated the NationalPork Producers Council doesn’t get involved in acquisi-tions, domestic or foreign. But he said this intendedpurchase does not affect consolidation within the porkindustry and this is not a food safety issue.

“This gives the Chinese firm access to U.S. technologiesas well as the U.S. domestic market for pork productsand expertise into China. I think it can have a positiveimpact for the swine industry simply because the grow-ing Chinese population wants more pork in their diets.

“Last year 23 1⁄2 percent of U.S. muscle cuts wereexported but we also have a growing market of porkproducts that have a higher value in overseas mar-kets than they do here. We refer to these as ‘varietymeats’ and with their inclusion, 27 percent of U.S.pork production was exported last year. Our exportslast year accounted for $56 of total value of each pigprocessed in America,” said Dierks.

In 1988, the United States was still a net porkimporter. Today, the U.S. is the world’s No. 1 porksupplier, exporting 2.262 million metric tons in 2012at a record value of $6.322 billion.

Because of delayed and prevent planted acres rapidly

becoming significant across America, it appears that $7-plus corn is more likely this fall than the earlier projected$5 corn. And carryover on the short 2012 crop is likely toshrink appreciably. So how does the American pork pro-ducer play his cards to meet his feed needs this fall?

“Just too many unanswered questions floating aroundout there,” Dierks said. “But it would appear prudent tolock in some feed supplies sooner rather than later.”Andif feed costs ramp up as a major issue for 2013-14 willthe swine industry put the brakes on its projected pro-duction? In essence, will swine numbers ramp down?

Said Dierks, “We’ve seen losses this past year of$35-$40 per animal. We have high market prices cur-rently but production costs are such that there’snothing left for margin. So yes, some producers aregetting out — they don’t want to play the game any-more. Some are holding steady. But as always there’sa certain amount of updating going on with estab-lished producers; even a few new faces showing upwho have credit and capital lined up.

“Lenders are watchful, probably looking even moreclosely at each individual customer,” he said. “But(economist) Steve Meyers here at the Expo was sug-gesting that some profitability might be getting backinto this industry once we see how this summer playsout. Understandably it’s a guessing game right now.”

Many hog producersremember when dietsfor pigs were pretty sim-ple. After weaning youstarted with a growingration, then when pigsgot to about 125 poundsyou switched to a finish-ing ration the rest of the way to market.

Diets for pigs are a bit more complicated thesedays.

Jim Hedges, a swine nutritionist for Ralco AnimalNutrition in Marshall, Minn., said, “today we’ve gotfour diets in the nursing/weaning stage, and sixmore in the finishing stage. Yes, I’d like to think thatmore diversity in diets is the primary reason for thesignificant increase in rate of gain and feed effi-ciency in recent years. But we’ve got to give credit tothe genetic people, too. A lean hog is an efficient ani-mal. Fat hogs aren’t.

“I still facetiously say the only thing a nutritionistcan do is ruin a good hog. The point being that if youdon’t feed that hog right, you’ll never realize its truepotential. So we constantly need to be tweaking thediets to meet the genetic needs of these swine. Alsoyou couldn’t get the feed conversion we have thesedays with the hogs we were raising back in the ’80sand ’90s. There’s been a world of genetic improve-ment in the blood lines of these pigs.”

Swine nutrition has gotten more complex, prima-rily because more ingredients now work their wayinto swine diets at various stages of growth. Ralcoused to mostly concentrate on concentrates — i.e.,500 pounds into the grower ration, 350 into the fin-ishing ration. Then it was mostly a matter of hiringdealers who went out and sold to farmers.

“Today with so many different commodities gettinginto feed rations, it’s a different ball game,” Hedgessaid. “For example, depending upon price, corn DDGsare either in or out. Last year we used a lot of wheatand rice bran. We’re using tryptophan now all theway to market because synthetic tryptophan is nowaffordable, and that’s partly because soy meal priceshave gone up considerably. We probably use moresynthetics than most feed formulators.

“Today a finishing ration is nearly $300 a ton; a fewyears back it was $85. The amount of work in formu-lating a diet today is very complex. We formulate on anet energy basis. Net energy gives corn a lot morecredit than it does bean meal. That approach rewardscorn and synthetics, and reduces bean meal.”

Ralco does most of their research work in their ownlab facilities but most feeding trials are actually on-farm with cooperators in the Marshall area. Butthings may be changing. Ralco has an ambitiousbuilding program launching this summer which willinclude a 1,200-head swine nursery barn and two1,200-head swine finishing barns. They buy wean-lings from an area sow group.

Getting big play at the Ralco booth at the recentWorld Pork Expo in Des Moines was a new productcalled Rally Starter. As the name suggests, it concen-trates on nutrition for the young pig with three dif-ferent Rally Starter feeds used sequentially: a pre-

starter for pigs lessthan 21 days; a starterpellet for days 20 to26, and a base mix fordays 21 to 30.

“When it comes toformulating baby pigrations you need a lot

of research and experi-ence. You can’t get too simple too quick because thatdigestive tract of a young pig is virtually adjustingdaily to different tastes, different nutrient needs,”

Hedges said. “You can’t get carried away with beanmeal. Too simple, too quick doesn’t work becausethe baby pig’s gut isn’t mature enough to handle it.”

Ralco started as a ruminant feed outfit providingspecial ingredients for beef cattle way back whencattle numbers were big in southwest Minnesota.Ten years back Hedges was hired as the first PhDon staff. In 2004, the firm had 25 employees; todayabout 130 employees make up the Ralco family.

A new animal drugcalled OvuGel, devel-oped by JBS United Ani-mal Health LLC, cap-tured lots of attention atthe recent World PorkExpo in Des Moines. Usinga special dispenser tool which facilitates positioningOvuGel directly into the sow’s vagina, it gives pro-ducers much better “time management” of therebreeding of their sow herds following weaning.

A billboard in the booth read “The Latest Innova-tion in Swine Reproduction Management.” TrentTorrance, JBS United managing director, said, “wegained FDA approval on OvuGel this spring. It con-tains chemistry that stimulates the release ofluteinizing hormone in the weaned sow. This is thehormone that causes the weaned sow to ovulate.

“With this product, the sow herd manager can comein early the morning of Day 4 post-weaning, give thissow a dose of OvuGel which is administered needlefree. The technique is similar to artificial insemina-tion and takes only about 20 seconds. Then early inthe morning of Day 5 (approximately 22 hours later)you do a single artificial insemination regardless ofwhether or not she is in standing estrus.”

Torrance said producers are getting good conceptioneven with sows not displaying visible signs of estrus.“And what this means it enables the hog producer toeliminate estrus detection and generate a fixed-time

protocol in the breeding barn. For exam-ple you could develop a program whereyou wean on Thurs-days, give OvuGel onMonday, breed on Tues-day and then comeback 114 days later(mid-week) so that

much of those activitiesof estrus detection, breeding, even far-rowing, could be mid-week functionsrather than weekend duties.”

On a sow farm these days, estrusdetection is essentially a seven-days-of-the-week observation. Butget a sow herd on OvuGel, andstanding estrus isn’t even a con-cern. Conceptually if you have 125sows, even a sow herd of 250, withthis product the entire herd couldbe bred in one day which essen-tially narrows the window of ovula-tion down to a short time. This inturn concentrates the farrowing periodinto a much shorter time frame.

Perhaps another management bonus is thatbecause producers schedule ovulation times they canschedule their best trained, most skillful people to dothe insemination process. “Two skilled persons work-ing in tandem is terrific; one skilled person can alsohandle this process very well,” Torrance said.

The cost is $6.75 per dose. At this stage this is the

first product labeled for swine synchronization ofovulation and breeding. JBS United deals in animal

health products worldwide, butso far OvuGel is licensed onlyfor usage in the United States.Torrance indicated labeling ispending for worldwide usageand distribution.

Still in Phase 1 of their launchprogram with OvuGel, the firmhas six people specifically hiredand trained to work with hogproducers across the nation.These tech service people pro-vide the training and instruc-tions to individual sow herdmanagers. Training is a one-dayevent with the emphasis on set-ting up a timing program forweaning and the implementa-tion of OvuGel into the repro-ductive schedules of the entiresow herd.

Some obvious breeding effi-ciencies occur with this product.

Instead of an industry average of 2.2 inseminationsper sow and upwards of 9 billion sperm cells collec-tively for each conception, now usage would be 3 bil-lion to 3 1/2 billion sperm cells (typically single injec-tion AI system), even less if using the cervical AItechnique. It does put the emphasis on semen qual-ity and technique since you only get one chance toinseminate the sow when on the OvuGel program.The literature also says sows should be exposed to aboar during the time of insemination.

How to build a soils science shortcourse in three easy steps:

Step 1 — Dig a hole 5 feet deep, 4feet wide and 6 feet long.

Step 2 — Add three students andone University of Minnesota Extensionsoils specialist.

Step 3 — Educate for 45 minutes.At a May 18 4-H “Tracking Program,”

the soils specialist in this arrangementwas Jodi DeJong-Hughes, a U of MExtension educator from the Willmarregional office. The students wereNathan Gartner of the Boone Lake Ori-oles 4-H Club, and Parker and SpencerSullivan, of the Birch Coulee 4-H Club.

In addition to this soil science track,these Renville County 4-H’ers couldselect from vegetable gardening, quilting,pigeons, lefse-making, geocaching, terrar-iums, video creations or shooting sports.This track, by far, was the dirtiest.

“This was good,” said Spencer Sulli-van. “I learned a bunch, especially aboutsoil structure and what makes up a goodsoil. I learned that those red streaks in asoil profile are oxidized iron. Also sometillage systems, especially mold boardplowing, can create compaction ribbons.

“She (DeJong Hughes) explained whycrop rotations help build soil structure,especially when combined with minimumtillage. Also, good soil structure can beclumpy but falls apart quite easily whentilled.And earthworms create a breathingsystem for soils even down through threefeet of top soil. There’s just a world of bio-logical activity in good soils.”Classroom in a hole

DeJong-Hughes enjoys teaching andtalking about soils. In that 5-foot-deepclassroom, she and her students usedmetal scallops to get a close-up inspec-tion of the different ingredients to befound in soils. Even though the soilwas not yet fully recharged with mois-ture, she showed her students aboutribboning, and the difference betweenclay loam soils, and silty clay loams,and the red coloration of clay soils inthe presence of iron and high pH.

“I basically start by explaining that soilis made up of sand, silt and clay,” she said.“And depending upon how much of each ispresent in the soil profile determines thesoil type and, to some extent, the produc-tivity of that particular soil. When stu-dents are in a soil pit with me we all getdirty fingers. We do the soil texturingthing were we squeeze out a ribbon of soilbetween our thumb and fingers.”

Next she described organic matter

and how it is the building block ofsoils. She noted how farmers manageorganic matter in their cropping andtillage program to build even bettersoils — or potentially worse soils espe-cially as it relates to soil structure.

“I emphasize that we can make even apoorly performing soil more productivebecause of our management,” DeJong-Hughes said. “Soils are a tremendousresource so we talk about soil structurequite a bit. Today in this pit we could eas-ily see the soil structure. Working withsoils, ‘hands-on’ teaching works best. Itgets a little dirty but when students arein this pit digging into the different layersthey understand that it’s not just dirt butinstead it’s biologically rich and composedof a multitude of different ingredients.”

One student asked: “Do soils wearout over time?”

DeJong-Hughes said, “it’s not alwaystime; it’s weathering. Here in our north-ern latitudes where it’s colder and wehave only a single crop season, soilsdon’t age as quickly. Down south withwarmer temps and more rainfall, moredouble-cropping, and more microbialgrowth, soils do wear down faster.”

SOIL, from pg. 9AAnother student asked if farming soils more

intensely affects microbial activity in the soil. Hughessaid some microbes like it, but soils host billions ofmicrobes so the more food you can give them, and theless tillage, the more diverse your populations.

“But more tillage and less rotation starts selectingfor certain microbes,” she said, “and that’s when westart seeing more root rots, etc. We don’t have theprotection of the beneficial microbes so the parasiticmicrobes start taking over.”

What’s the value of frost in maintaining soil tex-ture? “Not as important as wetting and drying,”DeJong-Hughes said.

“I have to give them the standard Universityanswer — It depends on the situation,” she said inresponse to farmers asking about the best tillage

system. “Generally my response would favor reducedtillage. And I often suggest vertical tillage as a con-sideration. It does a nice job of chopping and sizingresidue and mixes some air into the soil surface. Ilike it as a less-aggressive form of tillage.”Tracks and compaction

DeJong-Hughes teaches her students about soilcompaction as it relates to tires versus tracks ontoday’s farm equipment.

“Contrary to most thinking, track tractors exert asmuch and often more soil pressure. Bogey wheels doexert extra pressure under the tracks, plus oftenthere’s four to six inches of track beyond that basecage so they’re not holding much weight.”

From a flotation viewpoint, however, she told herstudents that nothing beats a track.

When farmers tell her they wear out ripper points

more quickly behind tires than they do behind tracks,DeJong-Hughes wants to know the inflation of theirtires. It’s pounds per square inch that determinescompaction, and she points out that track tractorshave an elevated psi below those bogey wheels.

“If there’s one thing farmers should be doing it’schecking tire pressure on their tractors and farmequipment, especially planters and combines,” shesaid. Relating to new studies under way, comparingroad inflation versus field inflation, DeJong-Hughessaid, “we’re seeing that with center-fill planters you’vegot to be at 75 psi going down the road and in the fieldit can be 30 psi. But who’s going to stop and deflatetires as they are leaving the road then inflate tireswhen back on the road? We’ve found a system thatwill do that automatically from the cab of your tractor.We’ve installed it on a couple of tractors so hopefullywe’ll have some significant data to share eventually.”

A device called Precision Inflation is available thatdoes these tire inflation-deflation tasks on the go,but it costs about $20,000 and requires drilling holesin the tire rims. According to DeJong-Hughes, thisinstrument can deflate triples on the tractor andfour planter wheels in under three minutes, and onlyfour minutes to reinflate.

“This is an old idea in Germany where farmers longago learned the importance of tire psi when workingtheir fields, and running equipment on their roads,”she said. In Germany the device is common on manuretanks moving big tonnages from farmstead to fields,often on public hard-surface roads. She said the U.S.military has also been using this for several years. ❖

By KRISTIN KVENOThe Land CorrespondentThe BrandtsAda, Minn.

Not ideal tempera-tures and lots of mois-ture, but Danny Brandtstill feels fortunate tohave been able to getthe crops in. When TheLand spoke to Brandton June 10, he said his farm receivedthree inches of rain in the last twoweeks, with below-average tempera-tures.

“Nothing wants to grow in these tem-peratures,” he said. Brandt still has 20to 30 acres of beans to plant but thinks they’ll beable to get back to it this week.

“For as cool and as wet as it has been you’ve got tocount your blessings, it looks pretty good,” Brandtsaid. While a couple of his fields aren’t growing aswell as they should, warmer weather predicted forlater in the week may help those fields catch up.

Brandt has sprayed all but 80 acres of corn andwill finish spraying that, as well as spraying all thewheat by Wednesday. “So far I feel on track witheverything,” he said.

Not too far from the Brandt farm conditions arenot as cooperative — north and east of the farmthere still are fields not yet planted.

Crops around the farm, though, “are lookinggood.” This spring is more like the conditionsBrandt is used to planting in — “cooler weather” —and being geared up for a short planting window hewas able to get the seed in the ground fast andmove on to spraying.

Though conditions have not been ideal all springlong, Brandt hopes to just keep getting work donewhere he can. With many others in the state strug-gling with decisions of prevent plant, or unable tospray planted crops, Brandt continues to count hisblessings.

The JohnsonsStarbuck, Minn.

The planting season has finallywrapped up on the Johnson farm,and Scott Johnson will be the firstto admit that it “wasn’t perfectplanting conditions.” While thecrops are in the ground, it is “hardto get things dried out here.”

When The Land spoke with Johnson on June 12,the Starbuck area was in the midst of cooler-than-average temperatures with more rain forecasted foralready wet soil.

“Last week was a pretty wet week,” Johnson said.That, coupled with cooler temperatures, has madethis year’s crop less than picture perfect. The corn isyellowing and needs heat to catch up, Johnson said.While he wishes the crop could have been plantedsooner, he also knows that “some of the raindrowned out the low spots,” Johnson said. Late

planting and cool weather could mean a smallercrop this fall.

“Spraying behind the planter, pre-emerge is alldone,” he said. “When we do get heat, the crops willgrow and so will the weeds.” Warmer temperaturesare forecasted in the upper-70s for the remainder ofthe week. Johnson will focus on cleaning up binsand begin spraying again in the next two weeks.With planting done, Johnson hopes for sun, sun andmore sun to help the crop not only catch up buthopefully flourish.

The MessnersNorthfield, Minn.

Still planting. This is not whatChris Messner thought he wouldbe attempting to do on June 11 butunfortunately Mother Nature hadother plans.

“Definitely not where we wantedto be,” Messner said. With contin-ued rain, planting will have to wait. “We’re in aholding pattern” Messner said when The Landspoke with him on June 11.

At that time he estimated that 60 to 70 percent ofthe corn was planted in the Northfield area withbeans progress at 40 percent completion.

On the Messner farm, 120 acres of beans stillneeded to be planted. Messner believes that he’s stillbetter off trying to plant the remainder of the beansup until the end of next week. After that the onlyoption he may have is prevent planting. “It’s kind of adepressing thought, not planting,” Messner said.

He knows of farmers in the area who are com-pletely done with planting while he also knows ofsome who just started planting on June 8. Weatherpatterns have dictated who will have a crop andwho may not.

“Some crops out there look pretty good but it’sstill far behind,” Messner said. “Most corn doesn’tlook too bad.”

Messner does admit, “I’ve never seen a spring likethis before.” He needs two to three days to finishplanting beans once the ground dries out, but withmore rain predicted that just may be a tall order.

“It’s kind of depressing but we’re trying to stayupbeat.”

Focusing on what’s in the ground and the factthat the planted crops are progressing may be thesilver lining in what has turned out to be a gloomyplanting season.

The LaubenthalsSwea City, Iowa

“It’s rained 11 days in the lasttwo weeks,” was Charlie Lauben-thal’s drippy report to The Landon June 10.

While that may be bad, what’sworse is that he hasn’t been ableto be in the field in almost amonth. “We haven’t turned the wheels since the16th (of May).” More rain is forecasted in the daysahead and optimism for finishing planting thecrops is quickly fading away.

“We just stay saturated,” Laubenthal said. “Any-body that has the option to take prevent corn hastaken the option.” Looking out over the countryside,Laubenthal notes that it seems that every otherfield hasn’t even been touched. “Everybody is in thesame boat,” Laubenthal said. On the bright side, “itgives you plenty of time to visit with the neighbors.”

Laubenthal isn’t optimistic that things willimprove this planting season. Even with ideal con-ditions it would take at least five days for theground to be fit for planting. “I’ve never seen any-thing like it,” Laubenthal said. “I don’t think themindset is to prevent plant a crop, we want toplant.” The decision on what to do or not do willhave to be made by Laubenthal and many otherfarmers in the area fairly soon.

“The whole crop in general isn’t looking nice,”Laubenthal said. But Laubenthal knows what allfarmers do: “It is what it is.” For good or bad the2013 planting season is coming to a close. ❖

It was in the middle ofanother spring downpourthat kept farmers from theirfields that our 3-year oldgrandson stood in our livingroom banging his headagainst the window.

“Landon, what are youdoing?” I asked.

“Trying to make the rainstop,” he said. Poor kid. Hewas as eager to play outsideas his Papa was to plant.

Whether banging our heads againstwindows or walls, we all face difficul-ties. Planting during a wet spring, fam-ily flair-ups, health challenges and

more. When life gets hard,the quips start coming:

• You’ve got to pull your-self up by the bootstraps.

• When the going getstough, the tough get going.

• Don’t give up; the best isyet to come.

• God won’t give you morethan you can handle.

These phrases get thrownaround a lot. They’re meantto encourage, inspire and be

the paramount moment when every-thing changes for the one who is down

God may give more than we canhandle, but not more than He can

THE BACK PORCH

By Lenae Bulthuis

“Gilding the lily” is a termmost everyone knows anduses occasionally. It origi-nated in a Shakespeareanphrase and has come tomean, making a perfectthing better. Gilding com-monly means painting ingold. Lilies need no gilding.

The lily pictured is a pinkStargazer Lilium Oriental. Itwould truly be less beautifulwere it golden. Larry and Ihave had this one in our gar-den for eight years. “Stargazer” was thename given this oriental hybrid whenit was developed because the blossomsseemed to gaze straight up to the sky.Most other lilies are down or out facingtypes.

No staking is needed for these Orien-tal beauties that will grow about 30inches tall. Plant the bulbs about 5inches deep in spring or fall in a sunnyspot in your garden. For the best dis-

play plant them about 10inches apart in groups ofthree or more bulbs.

Lilies are old perennials,often being referenced inthe Bible. The lily familyhas traditionally repre-sented innocence andpurity, and the pink vari-eties are considered sym-bols of wealth and prosper-ity. Stargazer lilies arefloral celebrities and havebecome increasingly popu-

lar due to their special fragrance anddazzling beauty. Once established youcan sit back and enjoy them year afteryear.Readers ask:

What are the marble-sized brownballs on my oak trees?

Oak galls. They are caused by tinywasps. Usually the galls don’t hurt thetree and no treatment is required.

How often should I have my soiltested?

Every three to four years or so is rec-ommended. Contact your local Exten-sion office for information on soil test-ing.

What do the numbers on fertil-izer packages mean?

Three numbers are prominent on fer-tilizer packages. Nitrogen, phosphorusand potassium are what the numbersrefer to and they are always listed inthat order. N (nitrogen) the first num-ber helps the plant growth aboveground. P (phosphorous) the middlenumber helps establish healthy roots.K (potassium) the last number helpsbuild strong cells in the plant.

Fertilizers that have equal numberscan be used as an all-purpose fertilizer.An example would be 10-10-10. If youbought a 50-pound bag of this 10-10-10fertilizer, 5 pounds would be nitrogen, 5pounds would be phosphorous and 5

pounds would be potassium. Theremaining 70 percent is inert fillerthat helps in getting an even distribu-tion when applying it.

Lawn fertilizers frequently havehigh first numbers because the highnitrogen content produces lush greengrass.

For promoting good fruit and flowerproduction, look for a middle numberhigher than the first one.

If your plants are stressed or totoughen them up use a fertilizer witha high last number.

When fertilizing don’t think thatmore is better. Plants can be burnedby over fertilizing. If your soil is richin organic matter, it should have mostof the nutrition your plants need.

PORCH, from pg. 13Aand out. It’s Adrian’s voice in Rocky’shead before he steps into the ring. It’s“Top Gun’s” “Maverick” overcoming lossafter the fatal training accident thattook his best friend “Goose”. It’s afterseemingly pointless hours of paintingfences, sanding floors and waxing cars,that Daniel, “The Karate Kid”, experi-ences victory in the midst of injustice.

Feel-good taglines and catchy wordsthat inspire underdogs in the glitz andlights of Hollywood have a deer-in-the-headlights effect to crushed hearts inthe pit of despair. When life is darkest,

the last thing needed is a Pollyannavoice speaking of what a character-building gift this pain is to our lives.The book of Proverbs puts it like this,“Singing light songs to the heavy-

hearted is like pouring salt in theirwounds” (Proverbs 25:20). What wasmeant for good only inflicts more pain.

Think of the phrase, “God won’t giveyou more than you can handle.” This isencouraging, right? The reality is thatit’s not found in Scripture. The Biblesays that God won’t tempt us beyondwhat we can bear, but it doesn’t say Hewon’t give us more than we can bear (1Corinthians 10:13).

The reality for Bible heroes and ordi-nary people like you and me is that weall go through days and seasons wherelife is too much to bear. A friend

recently said, “Every time I think itcan’t get worse, something new comesdown the bend.” She’s in the middle ofmore than she can bear.

No one is above death, heartache andtrials. We do get more than we canhandle. Adversity and affliction knowno boundaries or limits. The phrase“when it rains it pours” carries bucketloads of meaning to hurting people thatgoes beyond rain gauges and weatherforecasts.

Here’s the hope in the heartache.Here’s God’s promise for pit dwellersand window head bangers. AlthoughGod may give us more than we canhandle, He’ll never give us more thanHe can handle. That’s not trite Holly-wood; it’s Truth. All things are possiblewith God. Will you trust Him withwhat’s aching your heart today?

Even in times of despair, there’s hope in the heartache14A

The reality for Bible heroes and ordinary people likeyou and me is that we all go through days and sea-sons where life is too much to bear. A friend recentlysaid, ‘Every time I think it can’t get worse, somethingnew comes down the bend.’

By SARAH JOHNSONThe Land Correspondent

Yankton, S.D., was oncethe home of the GurneySeed Co., and in my fabledyouth I would often go pasttheir famous store in myhometown. If you listened toWNAX Radio, you knew allabout Gurney’s seeds, whichwere rigorously promotedon air. The old building heldwarped wooden floors andsunlight streamed throughhigh dusty windows. My dadremembers how good itsmelled, like a plowed field,from all the nursery stock.

My farmer grandfather was thrilledto learn we were moving to Yankton sohe could visit the place where all thosecatalogs were coming from. And pop-corn was always free. The buildingoriginally was a true shopping center,housing a retail greenhouse, a barber, agrocery store, a jeweler, a medicinestore and a restaurant/hotel.

Gurney’s was founded in 1866, but in2000, after a couple of decades of busi-ness hassles, Gurney’s closed its doors inYankton, and moved operations to Indi-ana. The landmark building is now beingconverted to condos. Gurney’s publisheda cookbook in the 1980s written by itsemployees and friends of the company,and here are my favorite recipes.

In Iowa they call ’em Maid-Rites or“loosemeat sandwiches”. In South Dakota,they’re called taverns. Call them what youwant but don’t call me late for dinner. Imade a scaled-down version of this dishwith just two pounds of ground beef andfound it very similar to the commercialvarieties. My “boys” ate every last dribble,so I guess that’s four out of four “yums”from the Johnson troop. Serve with mus-tard and sliced pickles, of course. (Somesay it is unholy to use ketchup.)Taverns for 100Submitted by Anita Anderson

Preserve the tomato season’s bounty bymaking Stewed Tomatoes for Chili (or forsoup, casseroles, pasta dishes and any-thing else calling for seasoned, cannedtomatoes). Then just thaw and simmerwith ground beef and chili beans for aquick homemade meal anytime.Stewed Tomatoes for ChiliSubmitted by Linda Zimmerman

Grain AnglesPrepare for

profitability shiftAs I look out my window, it’s another rainy day in

southeast Minnesota. Sitting here, I wonder what fac-tors will set successful grain producers apart from thecompetition. Last year, the southwest part of Min-nesota experienced drought conditions and poor grow-ing conditions; this year they have great looking crops.In 2012, southeast Minnesotaexperienced a great growing sea-son and enjoyed record yields.

Last year, the yields on myfarm near Zumbrota, Minn., were10 percent better than any crop Ihave ever grown. This year, weare experiencing a much-differ-ent environment, and each dayI’m unable to get in the fields andplant, brings forth another waveof emotion regarding whether totake a prevent plant payment orplant late and hope for the best.

As I look at the grain industry which has experi-enced great fortune over the last five years, I wonderwhat will eventually cause the industry to shift tolower profitability. Will it be lower prices for a periodof several years, the cost of inputs rising rapidly, or acombination of both? I am not here to forecast whatfactors will cause the shift, but I am concerned withhow we will prepare for the shift.

As a lender in agriculture, we have been preachingmargin management and knowing your cost of pro-duction in all segments of agriculture for years.Knowing your costs enables you to make decisionsbased on knowledge instead of emotion.

In addition to margin management, there are manyother factors that will need to be considered in orderto remain relevant and be prepared for futuregrowth. Have you evaluated your total businessstructure and financial picture? Are you prepared for

Grain OutlookCorn storms inon strong note

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing June 20.

CORN — I’m writing a day early this week due toprior commitments. Corn stormed into the week on astrong note with new crop leading the charge higher.The first heat wave of the seasonwiggled into the forecasts andreminded the market that thecrop is not yet in the bin. Thewet beginning this year didn’trequire corn to put down deeproots to find water, and any pro-longed period of hot, dry condi-tions may make traders nervous.

Last year’s drought-inducedrally began June 19, 2012.December corn’s low this weekwas on Monday at $5.25 3/4 andby Wednesday December cornhad hit a high of $5.71 perbushel. Informa Economics updated their crop esti-mates at mid-week, noting that they adjusted theirnumbers from the actual survey results due to condi-tion changes from when they conducted their survey.They are pegging corn acres at 95.262 million, downroughly 2 million acres from the March U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture outlook and in line with tradeexpectations. Using a 160.8 bushels per acre yield,they expect the crop to hit a record 14.078 billionbushels. On the June crop report, USDA was using156.5 bu./acre for a crop of 14.005 billion bushels.

The corn crop is essentially planted and the USDAdid not issue a planting progress report this week.However, conditions improved 1 percent in thegood/excellent category to 64 percent. Corn emergencewas 92 percent, down 5 percent from the average pace.

Weekly ethanol production was down 11,000 bar-rels per day to 873,000 barrels per day. This is 3 per-

Livestock AnglesCattle, hogs study

of oppositesWhat a study in opposites for cattle and hogs so far

in June. Hogs have been on a strong upward push inprices, while cattle have been spiraling to lower levels.

Demand continues to plague the cattle market, forcingpackers to be extremely weary of paying higher prices forlive inventory. After reaching newhighs in the beef cutout, the pastseveral weeks has seen that beefcutout slump back under $200 perhundredweight basis choice. Thevolume in boxed beef continues tolanguish, as reflected in the slowmovement in domestic demand.With cattle numbers on feed begin-ning to expand, coupled with theweak demand for beef, it is quitelikely that price weakness will con-tinue to prevail over the near term.

Despite what the pundits sayabout the economy improving,with the upcoming tax increases, domestic disposableincome is continuing to shrink putting more pressureon demand. This will continue to put the cattle marketon the defensive in the weeks, and possibly months,ahead. Therefore, producers should be cognizant of themarket and protect inventories as needed.

The hog market has been on fire since the middle ofMarch as live prices have eventually moved over the$100/cwt. level basis lean in the middle of June. Gooddemand for pork products has been the main catalystbehind the strength in the prices over this period.The fact that the packers were showing a strong urgeto accumulate inventory helped prices stay strong. Atthe same time numbers seemed to be in tighter sup-plies, all of which vaulted prices to the higher levels.

Now the concern is beginning to grow that we maybe heading into the normal seasonal high evidencedalmost every year in early summer and late-spring.

NYSTROM, from pg. 18Acent below last year. Since the beginning of the cropyear back in September, annualized corn grindequates to 4.63 billion bushels. The USDA is cur-rently using 4.65 billion bushels. Weekly export salesfor corn were at the lower end of the estimates at 5.3million bushels for old crop and 3.1 million for newcrop. While old crop sales were the best in fiveweeks, we need to average 5.2 million bushels foreach week through August to meet the USDA exportprojection of 700 million bushels.

OUTLOOK: July corn filled the gap left from March28 this week and December corn threatened the Junehigh of $5.73 1/2 per bushel. As of the close on June20, July corn was 18 1/4 cents higher at $6.73 1/4 forthe week with December surging 27 1/2 cents higherto close at $5.60 1/2 per bushel. What the USDA willpublish on the Grain Stocks as of June 1 and Acreagereport to be released June 28 will keep traders on theedge of their chairs, as will the changing weatherforecasts. And don’t forget to toss in month- and quar-ter-end for June 28 excitement.

SOYBEANS — Old crop soybeans crept into theweek while new crop forged ahead with the corn. Bymidweek, forecasts were again the talk of the tradewith the first round of high temperatures movinginto the Corn Belt. Old crop basis continued tostrengthen with the country selling few old beansand processors trying to extend coverage. Late in the

week, the talk of a ridge building in the Midwestfaded and, along with it, prices.

Informa’s updated crop forecast didn’t do much toexcite anyone with 77.8 million acres anticipated.This is 630,000 higher than the USDA March fore-cast, but was in-line with traders’ expectations. Theykept their yield forecast at 43.9 bu./acre to come upwith a crop of 3.366 billion bushels. USDA was using44.5 bu./acre and 77.1 million acres for a crop of 3.39billion on the June crop report.

Planting progress as of June 16 was 85 percentcomplete, right at the trade guess and 6 percentbehind average. Only 66 percent of the beans hademerged versus 80 percent on average. In the firstcrop condition report of the year, 64 percent of thebeans were rated good/excellent.

The monthly NOPA crush at 122.6 million bushelswas larger than the trade projection of 117.6 millionbushels. The NOPA crush only needs to average 106million bushels per month to reach the USDA crushestimate. Weekly export sales for old crop beanswere just 1.9 million bushels, but were 4 millionbushels for new crop. Total commitments havealready surpassed the USDA 1.33 billion bushel pro-jection. The USDA announced a 240,000 mt sale of

new crop beans to China this week. This week’smeal sales for this year at 26,600 mt are slowingdown to the lowest of the marketing year. New cropmeal sales were impressive at 144,600 mt.

OUTLOOK: As of the close on June 20, July soy-beans were down 19 cents for the week at $14.97 1/2with November off 13 1/4 cents at $12.85 perbushel. Soybeans traded a moderate range thisweek, but felt like they were struggling to add anyweather risk premium. How many acres will even-tually be planted to soybeans is an unknown andshould help limit the downside ahead of the June 28reports. The short-term range in November beans is$12.75 to $13.25 per bushel.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week end-ing June 20: Minneapolis wheat was a dime higher,Chicago up 19 3/4 cents and Kansas City soared 251/2 cents higher. August crude oil fell $2.93 to $95.14,heating oil (ULSD) tumbled over 9 cents lower, gaso-line (RBOB) was down nearly 11 cents, and naturalgas was up 14 cents. The U.S. dollar index was post-ing a weekly gain of almost 1 1/4 percent.

Soybean acreage unknowns should limit downside

TEALE, from pg. 18A

At this writing the hog market is overbought andvulnerable to some sort of a setback. Be it a short-term setback or the seasonal high, the futures mar-ket is already showing the anticipation of a break bybeing discount in the deferred contract months.

With pork cutouts now above the $100/cwt. level,the consideration has to be that demand for porkproduct may also begin to suffer, as evidenced in theother competitive meats due to the increased prices atthe retail level. Producers should approach the mar-ket with some caution and use the current strength toprotect inventories in the months ahead. ❖

HUNEKE, from pg. 18Aopportunities that may lie ahead?

Over that last 20 years, as producers have eitherretired or exited production agriculture, it usuallymeant an opportunity for other producers to rent orpurchase land in 160- to 320-acre increments. If youwere able to acquire land segments of this size everycouple of years, it was manageable.

But take a look around at your neighbors’ opera-tions today. Many producers may be farming any-where from 300 to 1,000 acres. Are you prepared toacquire an operation of this size? What if multipleoperations come available in the same year, whichcould happen if we see a downturn in profitability?

Ultimately, you need to understand your financialpicture to know if you are built for growth. Maintain-ing enough working capital and keeping an eye onyour balance sheet will allow you to take advantage ofpotential opportunities for future growth. Each year,do accrual adjustments on your income to full under-stand your income related to your balance sheet. Startworking closely with your lender now to make sure youhave a full understanding of your financial picture.

Once you start to understand the true financialpicture by using the accrual method, evaluate yourbalance sheet so that you can start making educatedplans for growth.

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondent s Tim King (story) and Jan King (photo)Not just any trailWWe’re on a forest trail in the Chippewa National For-

est not far from Walker, Minn. We parked the car ona meandering forest road and decided to take a

short day hike.The winding trail starts among large old aspen and red

pine. Here it is fairly wide. Below is a swampy emerald greenvalley with a stream in the middle.There is a beaver lodge in the stream.Wolf and bear scats are on the trail,and thrushes, warblers and noisy bluejays are calling from tree branches. Aswe walk deeper into the forest the hillsrise and fall and, although the trail isblazed and cleared, it becomes a footpath that at times is only a narrowgreen passage through the trees. Thenthe forest changes from pine and aspento dark green balsam and spruce. Itwill no doubt change again and again.

This trail is not just any trail. It is part of the 4,600-milelong North Country National Scenic Trail. It starts in NewYork and passes through Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wis-consin and Minnesota before it ends in North Dakota atLake Sakakawea State Park.

The North Country Trail was established by the U.S. Con-gress in 1980 and is administered by the National Park Ser-vice, managed by federal, state and local agencies, and builtand maintained primarily by the volunteers of the NorthCountry Trail Association and its partners. In Minnesota theParks and Trails Council of Minnesota organizes trail clean-ing trips each year to maintain and improve the NCT as wellas the Superior Trail which connects to the NCT and followsthe North Shore of Lake Superior. The two segments of theSuperior Trail equal a total of 275 miles of spectacular hik-ing from near Duluth to the Canadian border.

Although the entire 4,600 miles of the NCT are not pass-able the Chippewa National Forest boasts over 72 miles oftrail. West of the Chippewa the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser-vice, and volunteers from the Laurentian Lakes Chapter ofthe North Country Trail Association, just completed a 21-mile section of the trail in Tamarac National Wildlife Refugenear Detroit Lakes, Minn. To the east, in the SuperiorNational Forest, large segments of the trail are completealso. The interconnected 45-mile long Kekakabic Trail andthe 65-mile long Border Route Trail offer hiking access toMinnesota’s canoe country.
