A letter from Grant, my 8-year-oldgrandson who attends Greenwood Ele-mentary School in Plymouth, Minn.,prompted this “Land Minds” column.

His note to me read: “Dear GrandpaHagen, I am writing you because we havebeen learning about how school haschanged over the past 100 years. I was won-dering if you could write to me to tell aboutyour school experience. Thanks so much forhelping me with my learning. Love, Grant.”

Granddads jump at such a specialrequest. But I’m only going back 75years in history. I think my grandsonwas joshing just a bit. So I sat at mycomputer and to the best of my memory,here’s my response.

■

Dear Grandson,What a special treat for me to share

with you some memories about myschool days. I think you will beamazed at the changes from myschool days to yours. In my time (1940to 1948) a one-room, country schoolwas the starting point for all of uscountry kids. I’m an Iowa kid so myschool was Brookfield No. 4. That’sbecause our farm was in BrookfieldTownship, Worth County, Iowa, (onlyfour miles from Minnesota) and as Irecall there were two other countryschools in our township.

Our country school building wassmall compared to the much biggerschools you kids attend today. I don’t know the exactdimensions of Brookfield No. 4 but 40 by 40 feetwould be about the size. That means our schoolhouse was even smaller than your house.

Grant, you share your wonderful home with twobrothers, a delightful little sister and of course yourMom and Pop — six people in total. Yet my Brook-field No. 4 country school usually had about 12 to 14kids grades one through eight.

We each had a desk. And if I remember, all the deskswere the same size. So for us first, second, third andmaybe even fourth graders, that desk was way biggerthan we needed because all we had was a pencil or two,an eraser if there wasn’t one on the end of our pencil, atablet and maybe a reading book and a spelling book.

Ball point pens weren’t yet invented. And we didn’tget to use an ink pen until the sixth grade as I recall.You don’t know about ink pens. They had a metal

point and a hollow ‘belly’ for ink. Ourteacher kept a bottle of ink on her desk.When your pen ran out of ink she wouldopen her ink bottle and help you fill upyour pen with “fresh” ink.

Our teacher, as were most country teach-ers in those days, was a young lady. That’sbecause this was in the early 1940s andour country, the United States of America,was at war against Germany, Japan andeven Italy. Most of the young men were inthe U.S. Army to fight against the soldiers

of these other countries which were try-ing to take over America and GreatBritain. I’m talking about World War II

which lasted from about 1939 to 1945.Our teacher was teaching all eight

grades, from first grade up througheighth grade. And you needed tocomplete all eight grades before youcould go to high school. She wouldtake turns with each grade sitting upfront. For arithmetic and spelling shewould use flash cards. For example,she would hold up a flash card beforethe two of us in second grade. If thecard read “4 + 3” we would shout out“seven!” (If we knew the correctanswer, that is.) The same idea onspelling. If the flash card had theword “ice cream,” she would let ustake a quick look, then put down thecard and ask us to spell the word.

I guess our teacher was smart.She would teach all the coursesrequired for each grade. That was

reading, spelling, arithmetic, geography, printing andwriting, history, and even what she called currentevents. That’s when she would share with all of uskids what was going on in the world. And that’s howwe learned about the world war even though it wasn’tfun to learn about war when you’re such a young kid.Mom and Dad didn’t talk about the war even thoughthey both had brothers in the Army at that time.

Brookfield No. 4 was heated with coal. In the base-ment was a big coal burning furnace and a coal bin.Because our teacher was the first to school each morn-ing, she had to get the coal burning furnace fired up towarm up our school before us kids got there.

I remember some winter mornings our school was-n’t yet very warm when we kids got to school so wewould often sit with our coats and mittens, even ourovershoes still on until our room got warm.

We did not be attend the “Iowa AgriculturalSummit,” March 7 in Des Moines because, ohdear, this is embarrassing, we were notinvited.

Yes, many non-farming, political types wereinvited and were there. Rick Perry, Jeb Bush,Scott Walker, Chris Christie, Donald Trump,Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Lindsey Graham,George Pataki, and Jim Gilmore (who’s JimGilmore?) told the founder and host of thesummit, Bruce Rastetter, they would attend.

We, however, did not attend because, well,you know.

Perhaps we weren’t invited becauseRastetter thought we’d be nervous oruncomfortable due to the two Jan. 2012 columns wewrote that introduced farm and ranch readers tohim, your average former hog farmer, now-million-aire ethanol baron.

We can see that.After all we did relate how, according to the

British newspaper The Guardian, hehad partnered with something calledAgriSol Energy LLC to rent 803,000acres of Tanzanian farmland for, thenewspaper explained, “less than $1-

per-acre rent on its 99-year leases.”OK, it’s probably unfair to call

anyone with plans to “displace over160,000 Africans” in Tanzania so he can farm 1,255square miles more than 8,500 miles east of the oldhome place merely “average.” That person, more thanlikely, is either above average or way above average.

(Jim Gilmore might be way above average, too; wesimply don’t know. We could have asked him in Des

Moines March 7 but, as you may have heard, weweren’t invited.)

In several press interviews leading up to the sum-mit (not one, we must report, with us) Rastetterrepeatedly played up his total average-ness as hedownplayed any talk of him as a cornfield “king-maker” in state and national politics.

“Bruce Rastetter is not amused by the ‘kingmaker’label often thrown about by the press,” noted the DesMoines Register in a lengthy profile of him March 1.

The very next sentence, however, offers two facts ofplain old just Bruce’s un-average-ness: he is the“president of the Iowa Board of Regents” which over-sees the state’s public university system, and hasmade “more than $1.1 million in state political con-tributions since 2003…”

Moreover, Politico, the Virginia-based political jour-nal, says that hog-chokin’ wad is really just “a frac-tion of his total giving to groups that don’t have todisclose their donors.”

Whatever the complete, never-to-be-reportedamount might be, Just Bruce told the Register thatevery penny of his campaign money goes to just “try-ing to make a difference. I don’t give to get access.”

(Cough. Cough. Uh oh, sounds like a cold. Goodthing we have nowhere to go this weekend becausewe were not invited to go… anywhere.)

Some who received Rastetter’s money have a differ-ent idea of what the word “access” means.

“Bruce does a good job of staying in touch,” IowaGov. Terry Branstad related to the Register. In fact,said the Gov., he and Just Bruce stay in touch “atleast once a week.”

But, Branstad added, “It has nothing to do withwhether he supported me.”

So… Branstad takes weekly telephone calls frompeople who neither support his policies nor con-tribute to his political campaigns?

We don’t know, but we do know Iowa’s governordoes take calls from Rastetter because, according tothe Register, “‘I suggested,’ Rastetter told thisreporter later that day, ‘that the governor speak withyou.’ Rastetter’s staff soon called to confirm theappointment with the governor.”

And, just as Just Bruce said, Branstad telephonedthe reporter.

Little wonder then that when Not The Kingmaker,Just Bruce asked potential White House hopefuls toreport to the Iowa State Fairgrounds on a Saturdaymorning in early March, nearly a dozen Republicanswannabe presidents answered “one of the biggestGOP cattle calls” ever so Rastetter could “chat witheach candidate on-stage for 20 minutes before 1,000Iowans and dozens of media outlets” on agriculturepolicy.

Wait a second, “dozens of media outlets?”Alas, good luck Jim Gilmore — whomever you are.The Farm and Food File is published weekly

HAGEN, from pg. 2AOur furnace had to be refired a few

times during the day. When you got to bein the seventh or eighth grade, ourteacher would appoint us kids to do thejob. “Okay, Richard, today you keep thefire burning.” So I would walk down thebasement steps and use a small shovel orpail to dump a few pieces ofcoal into the furnace. Itseemed I always got somecoal smudges on my hands. I’dcome back upstairs and wash my hands.Our school had a pump and sink but Iremember the water was always cold.

In those days we didn’t have bath-rooms in school with hot and coldwater. Our toilet was an outdoor toiletand you had to ask teacher for permis-sion to go to the toilet. But in the win-ter time, your trips to the toilet werefew and quick. And in the winter, whenwe came in from recess and our mit-tens were wet, we’d lay them on the bigfurnace duct in the floor of our class-room. Next recess we’d have dry mit-tens until we came back into school.

What were our winter games? Foxand Geese was a big one. We’d make abig wheel-shaped outline in the snowon the school yard. The job of the foxwas to catch the geese one at a time.Lots of running and screeching andsliding but great fun.

For lunch it was whatever Mom putinto our metal lunch bucket. That usu-ally was peanut butter sandwiches. OrSpam sandwiches. Or boiled egg sand-wiches. Or sometimes a baloney sand-wich. That’s a meat from pigs. Becausewe did our own butchering there waslots of different kinds of pork. AndMom liked us to eat an apple or orange.Sometimes there would be some choco-late chip cookies, too. Plus our thermosbottle would have water. Sometimeshot soup. But never soda pop.

So how did we learn? Same way youkids learn. We listened to our teacher,did our assignments, took some home-work home if we had to. But we alsolearned by listening to what theteacher was teaching to another grade.Remember we were 14 kids. Ourteacher would teach each grade one ata time. So we second graders couldalso listen to what she was teachingthe other grades. Sometimes therewould be only one student in a grade,sometimes there might be three or four.

And we always had spelling bees. Thekids of Brookfield No. 3 would come toBrookfield No. 4 and we’d all taketurns, by grade, as to which school hadthe best spellers. That was always fun.On those days when we weren’t in theclassroom spelling bee we’d be in theschool yard playing ball, or a gamecalled Anti-I-Over. That’s a fun gamewere we’d have the same number ofkids on both sides of the school; thensomeone would throw the ball over theschool roof and someone on the otherside would catch it. Then the personcatching the ball would dash aroundthe school house to the other side andthrow the ball at one of those kids.Game over when every kid has beentagged by that ball.

We didn’t have the push-button gadg-ets like you have today. We made ourown fun in the school yard. Yes, we didhave a swing, a two-seater as I recall.And when we played ball games, evenus second graders got to play becausewe were needed. The usual ball gamewas three hitters with the rest of us inthe field. When those three hittersmade three outs, then it was the nextthree hitters.

Grant, you ride a bus to school. Thereweren’t school buses for us countryschool kids. And we had only gravelroads, which were muddy when itrained; dusty when it didn’t rain.Either you walked to school (for me itwas about one-and-a quarter miles), orperhaps your dad would deliver youwhen he was hauling cream to the localcreamery, or if you were lucky youmight have a bicycle.

For a while there were four of usHagen kids all going to Brookfield No.4 at the same time. Older brother Don-nie had a bike. And he would some-times carry the other three of us. Iremember I would sit up front on thehandle bars and my two sisters would

sit and stand over the rear wheel.Nope, that’s not very safe and I don’trecall how that all worked, but it did.

In the winter time, some days wedidn’t go to school because the teachercouldn’t get there, nor could we stu-dents. Big snow plows weren’t yetaround. But I do recall that some-times Dad would hitch up our team ofhorses to a big farm wagon and thosetwo big horses would get us to schoolregardless of how deep the snow.Country school was fun. I think all us

kids enjoyed learning. The CountySuperintendent would stop by three orfour times during the school year. Andapparently our teacher never knewwhen the Superintendent was coming.So teachers always had to be prepared.When the Superintendent did show up,he liked to quiz us to see what we hadlearned. So he’d be up front, ask a ques-tion and then point at one of us stu-dents. If it took three or four studentsto finally come up with the answer, we

knew what the learning lesson wouldbe for us kids the next day.

We didn’t have kindergarten. Norwas there such a thing as elementaryschool. We just started in the firstgrade and wrapped up country schoolas eighth graders. Then it was off to“Town School” as we called high schoolwith the school bus doing the deliveryeach morning and afternoon.

Grant, I think that you are learninglots more in your third grade than wedid as third graders because yourworld today is so much bigger. Youhave great teachers. My only advice:keep learning. It makes your life evenbetter. And in the process our wholeworld gets better. So Dear Grandson,I’m counting on you and your class-mates for a better world tomorrow!

Our toilet was an outdoortoilet and you had to askteacher for permission togo to the toilet. But in thewinter time, your trips to

the toilet were fewand quick.OPINION

Correction:In The Land Associate Editor Marie Wood’s Feb. 27 “Land Minds” she made reference to Cheeriosnow containing non-GMO oats. This was actually a change in product marketing only, as geneticallymodified oats do not exist.

To live in 2015 is to live in the age of socialmedia, the age of knowing everything rightnow. It means living in an age where youknow some pretty personal stuff about peo-ple you may or may not know that well.

Such was the case the other day when, afterpulling up Facebook on my iPhone, there wasa post promoting a Caring Bridge update froma friend, Kristi, whose family is going througha health journey right now. Kristi’s husband,Wes, has cancer. You’d be blown away by the genuine,absolutely positive nature of this man.And in case youdon’t know what Caring Bridge is, it’s a handy way forpeople going through medical ordeals to quickly notifypeople on progress or, in sad cases, turns for the worse.

So when I saw Kristi’s post, I immediatelythought back to a couple of weeks ago when I readthe last one, and it seemed like Wes was in foranother rough go with chemotherapy. So I read it,and was pleasantly surprised and delighted to hearhe’s upbeat, feeling better and in good spirits. So I’mglad I read.

But it got me to thinking ...What did we do 10 or 15 years ago when there was

no Caring Bridge to easily spread the word about asuccessful surgery, or a Facebook to let everyoneknow someone’s cancer has returned?

We just went about our lives, is what. We calledpeople on the phone. We hugged each other in smallgroups, cheek to tear-soaked cheek in hospital lob-bies and waiting rooms. When the time was right,the ones who needed to know would be told. Thenews would get to where it needed to go. That’swhat we did.

Modern times ... Do you like it better this way? Areyou happier that you’re clued in not just to medicalupdates, but seeing a Facebook post every time some-

one completes a workout or see-ing a Tweet every time someonehas a witty thought? Or, morelikely, a non-witty thought?

I wondered about Wes and Kristi, so I calledthem. (Don’t worry — I wasn’t intruding. Ihappen to know they’re eager to share Wes’journey.) I just wanted to find out what theyhoped to accomplish, whether it’s cathartic toput personal information out there, and what

has happened because of it.“It’s letting people in on the conversation of our

life,” Kristi said. “When Wes was diagnosed, it wassuch a vehicle for us to be able to mass express ourexperience. We knew right away our experiencewould be unique and we were really deliberate abouthow we shared it.”

“Early on, it was difficult — with people that Iknow who care — letting them know what’s goingon, and doing away with all that nonsense,” Wessaid. “It can be a lot of work making sure you’rekeeping people in the know, making sure you’rereaching people.”

Wes and Kristi early on tried to make sure peopleknew their Caring Bridge updates weren’t going tobe somber, treatment-filled updates. They wantedevery one of them to celebrate Wes’ life, to applaudthe energy he’s brought to the fight. And the supportthey got from people has been extraordinary.

“The reach we’re able to have because of socialmedia — that was the reason for my update yester-day. People knew that Wes’ health was struggling.So, that morning, I felt like there was this looming,negative concern over Wes’ health. ... We just felt likewe’re going to open the book and share everything.”

Why? Because they wanted to help. And that’s thequestion I had in my head. Does it help?

I thought back to all those other CaringBridge sites I’ve kept up on over theyears. My friend Shandy documented the

first tenuous year in her beautiful daughter Maria’slife on Caring Bridge. A million Facebook photos later,we’re all happily aware just how alive she is. My friendMary used social media to update friends and familyabout her daughter, Rachel, whose health struggleswere documented in a two-part series in The FreePress. Greater Mankato Growth’s Jonathan Zierdt’sbattle with cancer has been well publicized. Mankato’sEric Peters — a man I only met once but will probablynever forget — lost his battle with cancer recently, andhis family let people know using Caring Bridge.

In none of these cases would I have been on theirlist of people to call. But I was among the thousandswho knew.

What business is it of mine to know how the latestbattle has gone for Rachel Iverson? Why do I need tosee another picture of a healthy little girl? And whyshould I care how some guy’s chemo session went?

A better question might be: Why not?A cynic might look at this and say, “Sheesh, I’m so

tired of seeing everyone’s darn Caring Bridgeupdates!” or, “Do people have to share every last partof their lives?”

But I think there might be a better way to look atthis.

Everyone’s journey is different. A wise man (actu-ally, probably a wise woman) once said, “Be kind.Everyone is fighting a battle you know nothingabout.” These days, we know a little more aboutthose battles. And we’re better because of it.

OPINION

Robb Murray

By CAROLYN VAN LOHThe Land Correspondent

WESTBROOK, Minn. — Shrinkingpopulation in rural areas has a rippleeffect on all facets of everyday life,including health care.

With eight patient beds, Westbrookhas the distinction of having Min-nesota’s smallest functioning hospital.The facility began as a dream of DanielSchmidt, a Westbrook farmer, and hisson Dr. Henry Schmidt, who returnedto the area to practice medicine nearly100 years ago.

The elder Schmidt didn’t give up onhis dream when Henry died during theinfluenza epidemic of 1918. Papers ofincorporation were signed, and the Dr.Henry Schmidt Memorial Hospitalwas born in 1947. A large donationfrom Schmidt supplemented withfunds from the community made thedream come true.

In less than a year, more than 450area women joined more than 20 hos-pital auxiliary units. Area nurses, 19strong, formed the Clara Barton Clubas another means of supporting the

new hospital. These groups workeddiligently to collect food and necessarysupplies before the doors opened inJanuary 1951.

Westbrook and surrounding commu-nities faithfully supported their hospi-tal through annual apron auctions and

Hospital Days activities from 1968 to2001.

In 1995, the hospital board made thedifficult decision to pair with the SiouxValley Hospital system in Sioux Falls,S.D. This merger meant that SchmidtMemorial was no longer an independ-

ent hospital under the direction oflocal residents. Benefits far out-weighed the drawbacks because spe-cialists started coming to Westbrookon a regular basis. Patients no longedneeded to make a 200-mile round tripfor a doctor visit.

Another name change occurred in2007 when philanthropist T. DennySanford donated $400 million to theSioux Valley hospital system. Today,Sanford Westbrook Health Centerhospital serves primarily by stabiliz-ing patients before they are trans-ferred to Sioux Falls, Rochester,Minn., or other major medical centers.

Beginning Oct. 1, 2014, Alexan-dria, Minn., nursing home KnuteNelson reduced the number of itsbeds from 108 to 85 because it wasshort staffed. The facility had awaiting list. Later that samemonth, Good Samaritan Society-Glenwood Lakeview nursing homein Glenwood, Minn., closed. One reason was lack ofstaff available.

These examples and others were presented to theState of Minnesota’s Legislative Health Care Work-force Commission by Kari Thurlow, senior vice pres-ident of advocacy at Leading Age Minnesota, anassociation of organizations serving Minnesota sen-iors.

“Throughout the state, the rates set by lawmakersare on average $35 per resident per day less thanthe cost of care. They are mandated to lose moneyno matter where they are in the state,” said Thur-low, whose organization has brought forward a long-term care reform bill.

The bill is designed to reconnect rates with thecost of providing care, and to ensure that nursinghomes are not set up to lose money. The bill is beingcarried by Senator Tony Lourey, DFL-District 11,

and Representative JoeSchomacker, R-District 22A, thissession. Both are rural legislators.

“The most importantthing to understand,”Thurlow said, “is Min-nesota lawmakers setthe rates that facili-ties are able to chargeMedicaid, as well as

people privately paying. Lawmakersset those rates for every nursing homein the state. If the state doesn’tincrease rates, nursing homes cannotincrease rates on their own.”

For the last 20 years, rates have notbeen connected to the cost of care, saidThurlow.

She noted that remnants of geo-graphic rates for metro, rural and deeprural counties exist, but these rates that offer thehighest rates in the metro haven’t been truly used inyears.

The goal of the reform is not to have the same ratefor every nursing home, but to have a system thatgoverns the rates, said Thurlow.

Traveling around the state to talk to senior care

providers, she knows firsthand that the shortage ofprofessional caregivers is more acute in rural areas,where the population is aging faster. In addition, the

impact is greater in that ruralfolks must drive many miles tothe nearest nursing home.

“In one rural community,”Thurlow said, “they were sendingseniors to North Dakota becausethey didn’t have staff. That ishappening all over rural Min-nesota.”

Along the I-94 corridor and upand down the Red River Valley,the entire region is sending sen-iors 100-plus miles away, shesaid.

The senior who has lived theirentire life in the community isuprooted and now the family

can’t visit as often. That’s a huge quality of life issue,said Thurlow.

In fact, at the October 2014 round of the LeadingAge Minnesota district meetings, members wereasked if they suspended admissions in the last yeardue to lack of staff. In the West Central region, 58

— Kari Thurlow

REFORM, from pg. 8Apercent of nursing home members reported that theyhad.Nursing gaps

The biggest gap is in certified nursing assistants,which Thurlow calls the backbone ofnursing care. With the economyimproving, nursing homes have ahard time attracting certified nurs-ing assistants with a starting wageof $11.

“We can’t just compete with theBurger Kings and increase ourwages,” she said. “It (rate reform)will make a huge difference on whatwe can pay our caregivers. Whenwe’re not able to hire staff, providerscan’t admit people who need care.”

Rob Lahammer, campus adminis-trator for Presbyterian Homes &Services, works in a west metrofacility, but is helping Presbyterian Homes’ Grace-Point Crossing site in Cambridge, Minn. The nursinghome is short 30 to 40 nursing assistants.

A member of Leading Age Minnesota, Lahammeris in favor of nursing home rate reform. He also issupporting a bill to exempt Cambridge’s county of

Isanti and four bordering counties from chargingrural rates since the community is clearly metro.

“The overriding thing is we are at a crisis point. Weneed to help our nursing assistants and our seniors,”said Lahammer, who began his career as a nursing

assistant. “It’s about taking care ofpeople who have been in this worldfor 80 to 90 years.”

Like Thurlow, Lahammer under-stands that rural nursing homesstruggle to meet operational costs.

“The local nursing homes in thesesmall towns are a really big deal,”he said. “We have to fix nursinghome funding because it affects ourtowns.”

Nursing homes also are chal-lenged across the spectrum of nurs-ing — registered nurses andlicensed practical nurses.

“In nursing homes alone,” said Thurlow, “there areabout 1,800 open positions statewide. For RNs inpart, we have a hard time competing with hospitals.We hire the vast majority of nursing graduates, andafter 18 months they go to hospitals where they canearn $35,000 more.”

As the average age increases in ruralareas, the need for immediate medicalcare also increases. That’s when smalltowns look to their volunteer Emer-gency Medical Technicians and localEmergency Medical Service for help.

The emergency medical system ofambulance services across rural Min-nesota is central to keeping ushealthy and out of danger, said Mark

Schoenbaum, Office of Rural Healthand Primary Care director, MinnesotaDepartment of Health.

“The ambulance rural system is alsounder stress unlike the metro area.Much of the rural ambulance system isstaffed by volunteers. They also havethat baby boomer demographic,” saidSchoenbaum.

EMS volunteers must be willing tobe on call at all hours of the day andnight in case a friend or neighbor expe-

riences a medical emergency athome or a traffic accident vic-tim needs medical attention.

“Employers of the volunteersalso have to be willing to letthese people leave their jobs andtend to those in need. This maybe minutes or hours, dependingon the call,” said Ann Jenson,director of Southwest MinnesotaEmergency Medical Services.

Sometimes volunteers work in a dif-ferent town than where they live andgetting away for daytime emergenciescan be tougher than it used to be, saidSchoenbaum.

“One of the greatest challenges fac-ing rural EMS in the years to comewill be staffing volunteer ambulanceservices and first responder units,”Jenson said. “The challenge of findingvolunteers to take the hours of train-ing needed to become an EMT or a firstresponder is followed by countlesshours of calls, transfers, and run time.”

What drives a person to vol-unteer for such a demandingresponsibility?

Jenson, who serves on theDawson Ambulance, said, “Ihave a passion for EMS. No onehesitates to call 9-1-1 — and weshouldn’t — but what if some-day no one answers that call orthe response time is extended?”

Serving as an EMT is morethan going to the caller’s home, puttingthe patient on the ambulance gurney,and rushing to the nearest hospitalwith lights flashing and sirens howling.EMTs are trained to follow a rigid pro-tocol upon arrival on the scene to deter-mine the condition of their patient.

With the aging rural populationcome health problems related to olderpeople. Being able to identify heartproblems before transporting thepatient to a medical facility can make

EMS, from pg. 10Athe difference between life and death.

Mission: Lifeline Minnesota is aregional initiative funded through grantswith the American Heart Association.The goal is to benefit cardiac patients byreducing mortality and morbidity.Thanks to the Leona M. & Harry S.Helmsley Charitable Trust, ambulanceservices have been able to obtain one ofthe latest heart monitor/defibrillators.

The Helmsley Trust, workingthrough Mission: Lifeline Minnesota,has made 12-lead heart monitor/defib-rillator units available to emergencymedical personnel who qualify, basedon their grant application. About 100Emergency Medical Services havereceived the equipment grant in Min-nesota and 100 hospitals have fundingfor the 12-lead equipment.

The Windom and Westbrook volun-teer ambulance services opted to pur-chase a lightweight, easy-to-carrymonitor/defibrillator unit for each ofits ambulances.

“The unit is incorporated into our

protocol to enhance the ability to givemore detailed vital signs,” said TimHacker, director of the Windom EMS.“Then we send a snapshot of the heartvia wireless transmission to our localhospital.”

According to Sarah Thompson, RN,at Sanford Westbrook, Minn., Medical

Center, sending results of the heartmonitor to the local hospital allowsnurses to be prepared for the patient’sarrival. Time has been saved, and pos-sibly a life.

Minnesota has 79 critical access hos-pitals, which are small rural hospitals

that the federal government supportsspecifically to care for the Medicarepopulation reports the Office of RuralHealth and Primary Care. Minnesotahas the third-highest number of criti-cal access hospitals in the country.

Equipment grants buy cardiac units for ambulancesThe Land Correspondent Carolyn Van

Loh writes from experience as thespouse of David Van Loh, a long-servingrural Emergency Medical Technician.The following are some personalthoughts from being married to anemergency responder.

■David began his service as an EMT over 25

years ago when our two sons were still in highschool. Still a volunteer, he reflects on his years inservice.

“When I retired from a full-time job, I was ableto devote more time as a volunteer for ourambulance service. While a person must carry andrespond to a pager 24/7, only about half of the

calls demand a quick response. Transfers toanother hospital take more time, and folks whoare employed are usually required to get back towork quickly,” said David.

“That’s when a retired person can help bytaking the time for those emergencies. If theretired EMT (or other volunteer) wants to takepersonal time off, the rest of the squad willreorganize schedules to fill in while the squadmember is away.”

Over the years, plans had to be changed,postponed or canceled because of an ambulancerun. At the time, frustration over theinconvenience surfaced, but looking back, I wouldhave made no changes.

Yes, there were times when my spouse came

home carrying the burden of a patient’s condition.There were also those times at community eventswhen a family member of a former patientexpressed thanks for the good service. I am proudof my husband’s part in the health of ourcommunity.

The goal of emergency volunteers is savinglives, and lives cannot be saved unless EMTs arecalled into service. This system will work only ifthe patient calls 9-1-1 as soon as any symptomsor warning signs are experienced.

Please think about volunteering for yourcommunity. Everyone will need some type ofmedical assistance some day. It could be you or afamily member. Please consider helping out yourcommunity. — Carolyn Van Loh

‘Proud of my husband’ — Comments from an EMT spouse


Rural health care is facing anaging population combined withphysician and health care workershortages. Ironically, that short-age is due in part to doctors andnurses getting older and retiring.

Government officials, healthcare organizations and rural andmetro State Legislators are workingtogether to address this challenge.

According to the Minnesota Demo-graphic Center, the total number ofadults 65-plus is anticipated to doublebetween 2010 and 2030 with morethan one in five Minnesotans beingan older adult. Older people needmore medical services including tran-sitional and long-term care.

Rural counties also are aging faster,

with many rural Minnesota countieshaving a higher ratio of people 65-plus.

For example, according to the Min-nesota Rural Policy Center, 29 percentof Renville and Pope Counties’ popula-tions will be 65-plus by 2045. The samegoes for the northern Minnesota coun-ties of Kittson, Lake of the Woods,Koochiching, Saint Louis, Lake andCook.

“Shortages throughout rural Min-nesota can be most daunting in some

of the most sparsely populated parts ofthe state — the frontier areas of thestate along the northern border,” saidMark Schoenbaum, director of theMinnesota Office of Rural Health andPrimary Care.

Often, counties with higher ratios ofseniors have health professional short-ages. For instance, Koochiching andRenville Counties, along with most ofSaint Louis County, have a shortage inprimary care providers, reported theMinnesota Department of Health.

Other counties with primary careprofessional shortage areas includeLincoln, Murray, Jackson, Marshall,Faribault, Freeborn and Stearns.These areas have a physician-to-popu-lation ratio of 3,500 to 1 or higher.

MDH maps show a shortage in pri-mary care doctors, physician assis-tants and nurse practitioners for low-income residents in about 10 ruralcounties. There are also shortages ofcertified nursing assistants in nursinghomes, mental health professionalsand dentists across Minnesota’s ruralcounties.

“Care must be affordable,” saidSchoenbaum. “One of the ways thatplays out in rural Minnesota is that weknow there is a large proportion ofindividuals and families who are self-employed. Rural Minnesota startswith those factors that influences abil-

ity and affordability of health carecoverage.”

In February, Schoenbaumreported these statistics to theMinnesota House Aging and LongTerm Care Committee. Min-nesota’s long-term care workforceemploys about 103,000 workerswith an expected growth of 16percent by 2022 for a total of

nearly 120,000 workers.In 2015, the industry is short-staffed

with 1,800 open positions in registerednurses, licensed practical nurses, nurs-ing assistants and dietary aides.Legislative efforts

Nursing homes are especially chal-lenged to staff and retain workers.MDH reported that 51 percent of grad-uating nurses were hired by olderadult service providers in Minnesota.However, 76 percent of new graduatenurse hires left after 18 months forhigher wages in hospitals.

The Aging and Long Term Care Com-mittee is sponsoring two House bills toexpand the loan forgiveness programto attract and retain workers in long-term care. The bills are based on rec-ommendations by the LegislativeHealth Care Workforce Commission.

Both bills — HF 614 and HF 627 —increase funding and the number ofloan forgiveness participants to ruraland underserved areas. HF 627 addsmore occupations eligible for loan for-giveness in long-term care settings.

If HF 614 is passed, registered andlicensed practical nurses will be eligi-ble for up to $10,000 in loan forgive-ness in exchange for working full-timefor at least two years in an under-

SHORTAGE, from pg. 12Aserved area of the state, reported Ses-sion Daily. Currently, program recipi-ents must work three years to qualify.

By 2020, a shortage of 2,000 primarycare physicians is predicted, and partof that is retirement. These effects arealready felt in Ely, Minn., where a den-tist is retiring and there is no one toreplace him. Ely has also closed itsmaternity ward. These are the statis-tics that concern Sen. Greg Clausen,DFL-District 57.

Like the House, the Senate has sev-eral bills addressing health care short-ages in rural Minnesota. Clausen, co-chairperson of the Health CareWorkforce Commission, is dedicated togrowing our health care workforce tomeet the State’s needs.

Clausen’s bill — SF 3 — appropri-ates $3 million to expand loan forgive-ness to mental health providers, publichealth nurses and dental therapists inrural and under-served communities.From that $3 million investment,Clausen expects to turn out about 400workers.

“When you look at the state of Min-nesota in mental health, (out of) 13regions, only two have what theybelieve is a required number of psychi-atrists, which is metro and southeastMinnesota,” said Clausen.

Loan forgiveness is proven to work:88 percent of physicians and 93 per-cent of physician assistants and nursepractitioners are still in the same orsimilar location, with most remainingin rural areas after 15 and 20 years,according to the MDH.

“The loan forgiveness programattracts people to where they are goingto have an opportunity to practice

most if not all of theskills that they aretrained to use,” saidSchoenbaum. “Ruralpractice can be veryinteresting andengaging becauserural healthproviders see every-thing.”

Program participants say that theprogram has a major effect on theirchoice of practice location.

Senator Vicki Jensen, DFL-District24 which includes Dodge, Rice, Steeleand Waseca counties, co-authored SF3. Within her district, Jensen hasformed a group of hospitals and clinicsto find solutions to shortages.

“We have to figure out how to attractthese people in these professions tocome and serve in these rural areaswhere there are shortages,” saidJensen. “If you think about the basicthings you need in a community, hav-ing access to those services is critical.”

Clausen reported that SF 3 hasbipartisan support and expects several

health care bills willpass this session.Then the bills go to abipartisan commit-tee of senators andrepresentatives tocombine the billsinto a generalomnibus bill. Someaspects will be

accepted or rejected.Clausen is also writing a bill to fill

the workforce pipeline by increasingthe number of doctors and nurses thatwill mentor and supervise medicaland surgical residents. The bill willprovide grants to sites and compensa-tion for trainers.

“I think people recognize that we dohave an impending problem in Min-nesota and we need to address that,”said Clausen. “Medical care is one ofthose basic needs of people.”

Rural communities are faced notonly with the challenge of an agingpopulation, but aging care facilities aswell. Built in the 1950s and 1960s,many of these facilities are not adapt-able to modern health care delivery.

Take Burns Manor, for example, inHutchinson, Minn. Built in 1964-65,this 120-bed nursing home had an inad-equate heating system, no central airconditioning and rooms in need ofrepair. Of those rooms, 56 were doubles,with only a handful of private rooms.

The date Jan. 18, 2012, is etched inLinda Krentz’ memory. That was the daythey moved 115 senior residents fromBurns Manor to Harmony River LivingCenter, a brand new senior assisted liv-ing, transitional care, memory care andlong-term care facility in Hutchinson.

Move-in day was extremely exciting,said Krentz, remembering the many

smiles, tears and var-ied emotions.

Krentz, campusadministrator for thenon-profit HarmonyRiver, was a keyplayer in the 10-yearjourney that beganwith HutchinsonHealth’s research

that determined a new facility closerto the Hutchinson Health Hospitalwas the best option to meet the com-munity’s skilled care needs.

Harmony River offers 138 units thatinclude skilled nursing care for seniors— long-term, short-term and memorycare. The vast majority of units are pri-vate rooms now. The center also offersassisted living memory care. HarmonyRiver is usually full.

“We are grateful for that,” saidKrentz. “We have been blessed by astrong census.”

Harmony River Living Centerin Hutchinson, Minn.

FACILITY, from pg. 14Asenior living is to create a home-likeenvironment. Harmony River is pro-gressive in its care delivery, Krentz said.

Harmony River, owned by HutchinsonHealth and managed by PresbyterianHomes & Services, was built to deliverthe “Liberty Model” of care. The centerfosters choices and independence withprivate rooms and bathrooms, blocks ofunits that make up a household andsmall dining rooms for residents.

“The Liberty Model is a holistic look ata person’s care, wellness, exercise, fam-ily involvement, community involve-ment, spirituality,” said Krentz. “We’renot looking at just the hip fracture, weare looking at the whole person.”Staffing

Harmony River has about 240 employ-ees working in all aspects of the facility.

“Right now we are in better shapethan most,” said Krentz, who said she iswell aware of shortages in health careworkers, especially in long-term care.

Always looking forward and forecast-ing, she sees a larger demand for certi-fied nursing assistants than there issupply. In addition, the average age oflicensed practical nurses is 45 to 50,which means they are getting ready toretire, said Krentz.

“We are passionate about partneringand advocating for careers in thisfield,” she said.

Harmony River’s director of nursingpartners with Ridgewater College inHutchinson to offer clinical hours forLPNs and registered nursing students.Harmony River also reaches out to col-leges such as Minnesota State Univer-sity, Mankato and St. Cloud State Uni-versity to fill workforce needs.

CollaborationCollaboration was key in building

Harmony River, said Krentz. Partnersincluded AgStar Financial Services,Presbyterian Homes, the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture, Senior HousingPartners and Hutchinson Health.

As associate vice president of AgStarRural Capital Network since 2006, BobMadsen’s focus has been investing inhealth care projects to help sustain ruralcommunities. In Minnesota, AgStar hasinvested in about 10 health care facilities.

“The need is great and a lot of that isdue to the age of the facilities, espe-cially on the senior care side,” saidMadsen. “You can’t renovate anymore.It’s time to replace, which is a biggercapital investment need.”

So Madsen brings public-private part-nerships of developers, investors andgovernment agencies to the table. Mad-sen works with USDA to secure govern-ment money at lower interest rates.

“You have a nice collaboration of atypical lender as well as a governmentagency,” he said.

Most senior facilities today includeassisted living housing and memorycare as part of a senior care campusthat can accommodate all stages of

senior life. The end result of a reno-vated or new senior care center isaccess to services in the communityand health care jobs to help sustainthe community.

“The only drawback is now you havedebt to pay back,” said Madsen, “butthey have invested in their commu-nity for the next 50 years.”

Looking at Harmony River residentsand employees, Krentz can see theinvestment is well worth it. Since 1985,Krentz has worked primarily in ruralhealth care, where her heart is, she said.

“Don’t give up on your dream. If youare in a community that values yourseniors — collaborate, reach out, askthe leaders. Go to other communitiesand ask,” said Krentz. “Don’t give upon our seniors.”

Care facilities, once modeled after hospitals, now create a home-like environment.

By DAN LINEHANMankato Free Press

ST. PAUL — Children with cerebral palsy often havetrouble sleeping, but it can be a hassle to see a specialist.

But a Mankato family wouldn’t have to make thedrive to see a Twin Cities sleep doctor. They could visitGillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare, which has alocation attached to the Mankato Clinic, and consultwith a St. Paul sleep doctor on a television screen.

Gillette’s telemedicine partnership only involves ahandful of doctors because of uncertainty with insur-ance billing. As it stands, some insurance companiesdon’t pay hospitals for video visits the same waythey do for in-person visits.

A bill sponsored by Sen. Julie Rosen, R-VernonCenter, aims to expand telemedicine accessstatewide by requiring insurance providers to reim-burse doctors for video appointments. The bill aimsto reduce health care costs, bring more specialty cov-erage to rural areas and make people healthier.

Telemedicine can involve patients driving to aclinic and seeing a faraway specialist on a screen.Other services even allow patients to, say, show adoctor their rash using a smartphone.

Nearly all specialties are amenable to telemedi-cine, Dr. Jon Pryor, CEO of Hennepin County Med-ical Center, said at a March 4 news conference.Ninety percent of what you can learn from seeing apatient in an office can be gleaned from a TV screen,he said, though there are exceptions.

“It’s really tough doing a rectal exam throughtelemedicine,” he joked.

And it’s not just about staring into a camera andsaying “ahhhh.” There’s telepathology, where apatient’s data can be sent around the world and ana-lyzed. And medications can be managed by video, too.

“There’s tele-virtually everything,” Pryor said.At the Madelia Community Hospital, an emer-

gency room patient could see a specialist from SiouxFalls, S.D., instead of being sent there by ambulance,said Mandy Bell, director of eCARE Quality andInnovation for Avera Health.

Avera’s doctors are just a button’s press away froma Madelia emergency room physician who mightwant a second opinion or a neurologist’s take onwhether a patient is showing stroke symptoms.

Rosen’s bill will likely have a small cost, she said,because it also applies to Medical Assistance, whichis provided by the state. She expects the bill to havea long-term savings, though.

When asked whether telemedicine might preventsorely needed specialists from setting up shop inrural Minnesota, Rosen said the opposite was morelikely. A specialist would be more likely to come to arural area if they could supplement their local cus-tomers through telemedicine, she said.

The state’s trade association for health plans isn’tready to embrace the bill.

In a statement, Kathryn Kmit, director of policyand government affairs for the Minnesota Council ofHealth Plans, said the bill needs more work. Shesaid the group looked forward to working with theMinnesota Hospital Association, a key backer, to findways to improve health care access, quality and cost.

By ELIZABETH DUNBARMinnesota Public Radio News

As rains have gotten heavier, Minnesota farmersin recent years have been expanding a 150-year-olddrainage system, pulling billions of gallons morewater off soggy land and letting the state’s corn andsoybean fields thrive.

They have laid thousands of additional miles ofwater-absorbing plastic tubes underneath their fieldsand, as a result, they have pushed upward the num-ber of bushels per acre of the crops that dominateMinnesota’s agricultural landscape. They have held

their own and even flourished amidthe rains, increased temperaturesand greater variability observed inthe state. If only adapting to climatechange were so simple.

In reality, farmers’ decisions abouthow best to adapt have broad impli-cations not only for their own liveli-hoods but also for Minnesota’s econ-omy and the state’s most importantnatural resource: water. More intense drainage prac-tices are a case in point because, while the popular

approach makes crops and soil moreresilient in a changed climate, all thatextra water draining from fields cancause problems downstream.

The tradeoffs are both environmen-tal and economic. Should a farmerchange to a more resilient seed vari-ety or different crop or stick withwhat’s done well in the past? Shoulda livestock producer invest in new

cooling systems to anticipate longer and moreintense heat waves or just cope when it happens,perhaps by sending animals to market early?

“A lot of farmers are sitting there thinking, ‘How doI manage my risk? How do I hedge my bets?’ And it’sa really complex equation,” said Joshua Stamper, anirrigation specialist with the University of Min-nesota Extension who helps farmers calculatewhether it makes sense to add irrigation systems todeal with the frequent micro droughts that havebeen observed in recent years.

“There’s no right answer. Every situation for everyfarmer is different,” he said.Responding to heavy rains

Rising temperatures have had some impact onlivestock and crop producers. Heat puts stress onanimals, and warmer temperatures translate into alonger growing season that can change which partsof the state are optimal for certain crops. Some farm-ers are experimenting with different crop rotationsas a response, and some livestock producers are look-ing at cooler concrete floors for pigs or geothermalcooling systems for barns. But changing rainfall pat-terns are proving to be the bigger climate challengeto farming in the state.

Minnesota is wetter than it used to be, and theamount of precipitation falling as heavy storms is upby 37 percent in the past 50 years. Scientists havetied the increases to warming global temperatures.

ADAPTING, from pg. 34Aheavier rain events,” saidBruce Peterson, who growscorn near Northfield and ispresident of the MinnesotaCorn Growers Association.“It seems like we’re gettingthose 25-year storm eventsevery few years, but at thesame time following up thatstorm event it may not rain for several weeks.”

Wet fields make it tough to plant and can stunt aplant’s growth, and big storms can carry valuabletopsoil away.

So since the 1800s, Minnesota farmers have beeninstalling drainage systems to make wet fields moreproductive. About a quarter of Minnesota’s agricul-tural lands are tiled, and the wetter springs observedin the Midwest in recent years have driven farmers toadd even more, said Jerry Hatfield, director of the U.S.Department of Agriculture’s Midwest Climate Hub.

“It’s a very important thing for us to realize that wesuffer from too much water in the spring, and we suf-fer from too little water in the summer,” Hatfield said.“We really have the crop at a distinct disadvantage.”

Some farmers are dealing with it better than oth-ers, Hatfield said. For example, some have tried towork on fields that are too wet, which flattens thesoil and can cause tractors to get stuck, he said.

In most cases, the excess water drained from a fieldflows through ditches and empties into streams.That’s a lot of water going from field to stream morequickly than it used to.

“You ultimately have an altered hydrologic system,so you have a much flashier runoff into the riversand streams, which increases erosion of bluffs,banks, cutting in the stream,” said Gaylen Reetz,who oversees watershed management for the Min-nesota Pollution Control Agency.

For example, flows on the Minnesota River haveincreased, and erosion has been a major problem.

“You’ve taken this enormously flat area, much ofwhich was disconnected from the river system, andyou’ve drained it,” said Peter Wilcock, a professor inwatershed science at Utah State University who

studies the MinnesotaRiver. “The best evidenceavailable right now is thatdrainage is playing animportant role, particu-larly in the spring.”

Wilcock is leading astakeholder group whosegoal is to figure out whereand how to retain more

water up in the watershed.A happy medium?

Erosion is a problem because sediment can fillstreams and destroy fish habitat. That sediment alsobrings the nutrient phosphorus into a body of water.And there’s yet another concern: nitrogen, eitherfrom fertilizer or natural sources, that makes its wayinto drain tile water.

Forty percent of the state’s lakes and rivers areconsidered impaired, a quarter of them because ofexcess nutrients. The concerns reach beyond Min-nesota because the Mississippi River carries nitro-gen to the dead zone — an area in the Gulf of Mexicoroughly the size of Connecticut that is so polluted itcan’t support life. Minnesota is one of many statescontributing to the problem.

State officials and local watershed districts havebeen trying to slow that water down. And some farm-ers have found a way to pitch in while also makingtheir own fields more resilient to a changed climate.

Dave Legvold, a Northfield farmer and retired edu-cator, has adopted a controlled drainage system. Agovernment grant paid the cost, typically a few thou-sand dollars, which is a small percentage of the priceof installing drainage tile in a field. “You just bumpthese guys up, or you can push them down,” he said,pointing to a metal bar that adjusts an undergroundbox containing a series of dams. They control thewater level underneath the cornfield.

“When we start to get more precipitation, then thetiles will bring more water to this structure. If I wantmore water to be held in the soil, to keep nutrientsand keep water close by, then I will push them downand I can raise the water level in the soil six inches

ADAPTING, from pg. 35Aor I can raise it two feet,” he said.

With this kind of control, swings from flood todrought become less of a factor. But Legvold, a long-time conservationist, doesn’t stop there.

“You’ve drained this field, getting rid of all thatpesky water — what happens to the water?” he asked.

When Legvold decides to let the water out, itmeanders downhill into some wetlands, which helpabsorb any remaining nutrients and prevent thewater from rushing into a stream.

Limiting the amount of water being let out ofdrainage tile is a relatively new strategy in Min-nesota. Some farmers like it because it helps themrespond to both wet and dry extremes. And thosewho monitor water quality in the state like itbecause it can slow down the polluting nutrients.

Controlling drainage water and using wetlandsaren’t the only practices farmers such as Legvoldare using. Reduced tilling can increase crop residueand boost organic material to help keep soil inplace. And cover crops — things like rye grass oroilseed radishes — gobble up unused nutrients andadd organic material that helps absorb excesswater.Slow adoption

But so far, not a lot of farmers are taking thosesteps, said Reetz of the MPCA.

“Through time, we’ve really focused on movingwater off the land, and now it’s time we start think-

ing about how we retain it on the land and manage itand look at it as a resource to be managed — not justa nuisance to be pushed downstream,” he said.

Hatfield said farmers are starting to do that insmall numbers. For instance, some are pumping tilewater into holding ponds and are using it to irrigatefields during dry summers. Others are turning toreduced or no-till — about a quarter of Minnesota’s

cropland now gets less plowing, according to the lat-est Census of Agriculture.

Planting cover crops alongside row crops just hasn’tyet taken off, the USDA’s Hatfield said, estimating thatonly two percent of Midwest cropland now uses them.

“It’s this miniscule amount compared to what weneed to have in terms of protecting our soil,” he said. ❖

MANKATO, Minn. — The farm-ers of southern Minnesota who’velistened to the Linder Farm Net-work for nearly 40 years can thankDon Linder for the fact it exists.

“Don and his brother Bill wereinstrumental in getting our farm net-work started. Don was a very for-ward-looking person and a real pioneer in getting afarm network started.We were one of the first farm net-works in the country,” said Lynn Ketelsen, who’s beenthe voice of the farm network since it started in 1976.

Don Linder died March 10. He was 89.Linder was part of a family with a broadcasting

dynasty in southern Minnesota. Don, along withHarry Linder and Willard Linder, are in the Min-nesota Broadcasting Hall of Fame.

Don Linder founded KTOE and KDOG radio andlived most of his life in Mankato after growing up inWillmar where his dad, Harry, built a radio station.He also started the Travel Center in Mankato.

Linder was involved in numerous organizations inthe Mankato area.

“If I had to say one thing about Don, it’s that hewas just a really nice, kind guy,” Ketelsen said.

Linder studied electrical engineering at Iowa StateUniversity and graduated in 1946. After serving in theU.S. Navy, he returned to Minnesota. In 1950 he, hisfather and brother built a new station in Mankato.

When they learned that an Arizona station alreadyheld the call letters they wanted, KATO, they signedthe station on as KTOE. A sister FM station, KDOGFM (now Hot 96.7) took to the air in 1985. Other sta-tions added to the Mankato group include KXLP,KXAC, KATO-FM, and AM1230 The Fan Mankato.

Through the years he has also had ownershipinterest in stations in Marshall, St. James, Montev-ideo, Worthington and Hutchinson, as well as inPella and Fort Dodge, Iowa.

He was preceded in death by his wife Margaret in2008, and son, Jeff. He is survived by sons Doug,John, Bruce, and Tom and their families.

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

A sure-fire way to jumpheadlong into a breezy conver-sation is talking about non-GMO corn.

“Pricing definitely is the hottopic, but there are lots ofother considerations if you gonon-GMO,” said Jason Ober-meyer, Prairie Brand district salesmanager at Maplewood, Minn.

The Land spoke with Obermeyer atthe Central Minnesota Farm Show inSt. Cloud in late February.

“Get into the agronomics behind thegenetics,” he said. “Even if you doagree that basically all good hybridsout there have good genetics, you’vestill got lots of decisions.”

Decisions include which insecticidesto use and when, because without traitprotection, your non-GMO seed is vul-nerable to both above-ground andbelow-ground invasions, said Ober-meyer.

“Herbicide tolerances are another

dicey area. Make a wrongchoice on weed control and youcould be looking at a world ofhurt,” he said. “Also thoseupfront cost savings that wethought we were making coulddisappear just in the extracosts of keeping your crop pro-tected, because you didn’t wantto pay the price of trait protec-

tion. Buy the ultimate package andmost of those worries are automati-cally taken care of.”

In the seed marketing world, consul-tation with your customers, or prospec-tive customers, is standard business.

“Anymore, you don’t just sell theproduct; You offer as much consultingservices as you can,” Obermeyer said,“even if you may not be getting a singlebag seed order. Team marketing iswhat this seed business is all about.”

Perhaps a good example is the factthat Prairie Brand and Obermeyerprovide technical information onEnlist, a new herbicide carrying someof the 2,4-D chemistry that used to bea mainstay of chemical weed control 30

to 40 years ago.“Enlist will have an experimental

label in various geographies across theCorn Belt this season,” he said. “Wehave cleared approval through EPA insome areas but still waiting on Min-nesota approval.

“We think it will happen and we’ll begood to go for an early launch withMinnesota growers this spring. By2016, we think there will be U.S.approval across the board.”

Reflecting on the quick adoption ofRoundup across the farm belt 15 or soyears back, Obermeyer predicted aneven quicker pick up on Enlist.

“Perhaps key is that there isn’t aweed out there showing any resistanceto the product,” he said. “It’s that grow-ing number of weeds that Roundup nolonger can knock down that is slowlysqueezing the market life out of thatproduct.”

He’s not yet quoting costs on Enlist,venturing only that it will be fair mar-ket value because that’s one of therules of marketing in the competitive

agricultural world.Spring ahead

Like everyone, Obermeyer is payingattention to predicted crop acres.Until the last planter stops, actualcutbacks in corn acres remain a lot-tery choice. He said he is comfortablewith upwards of 3 million fewer acresinto the ground this year in theUnited States.

“Sure, it’s still a guessing game, butthe tough arithmetic tells you soy-beans are looking like a better choiceto keep your money together this sea-son,” Obermeyer said. “Up here in thenorthern Corn Belt we’ve had twoyears back-to-back of less-than-favor-able growing conditions. Weatherbetween now and planting time willdictate what we’re planting this year.”

He suggested that with an earlyspring we may get more corn planted.The dairy farmers are committed tocorn operations anyway.

“But regardless the scenarios, Idon’t think we’ll get nearly the samecorn acres into the ground as we didlast year,” said Obermeyer. ❖

At TerraMax in Bloomington, Minn.,the company is developing and sellingmicrobiological products which leveragenaturally occurring microbes in soil.Based on scientific research, soilmicrobes, that include fungi, bacteriaand viruses, can actually be beneficial tosoil and increase yields in crops rangingfrom corn to soybeans to wheat.

Biological products is an expandingfield in agriculture, said Tom Proepper,TerraMax chief operat-ing officer.

“People are asking ques-tions. It takes an openmind. This just seems tobe one of the new dimen-sions of modern crop pro-duction,” he said.

TerraMax flagshipproducts are a bradyrhi-zobium-based innoculantfor soybeans and anazospirillum innoculant for corn. Infield trials of corn over the last threeyears, powdered treatments of azospir-illum have helped boost yields by morethan four bushels per acre overuntreated checks.

“We have a relatively short portfolioright now. We have some traditional rhi-zobia products and we have an azospir-illum product that functions as a nitro-gen fixing bacteria,” said Proepper.

He indicated that TerraMaxResearch and Development has othermicrobials in the works. These newofferings would be nutritional forplants directly and also used toimprove soil health in general.

Proepper cited recent University ofWisconsin turf grass testing — calledN15 testing — that indicated 25.8 per-cent of the nitrogen in the tissue of theturf grass stemmed from the TerraMaxbacteria treatment.

“Granted that’s just a one-time eventbut it’s a data point that we’re pleasedto be working from,” he said.

Once inoculated, soils aren’t enrichedforever. Microbiological additives in acorn environment are an every yearapplication, Proepper said. In a corn-soybean rotation, that suggests usagewould be every other year just with thecorn. In a continuous corn strategy,there’s no residual benefits by increas-ing the application rate.

“A higher rate doesn’t increase the

microbiological activity, we’re findingout,” said Proepper.

The additives can be used as a seedtreatment, or as a tank mix with pop-up fertilizer. He notes they get betterresults, better yield bumps when usedas a dry seed treatment. With soy-beans, seed treatment is the popularchoice. The TerraMax product can bemixed with other fungicides and insec-ticides being applied. For corn applica-tions, blending with a liquid pop-upfertilizer for in furrow application is

the popular choice.Costs for the Terra-

Max products average$5 to $7 per acredepending upon choiceof a liquid or a dry prod-uct and seeding rate.

“We’re seeing goodpickup on our productsin the western CornBelt,” Proepper said,“and also steady expan-

sion here in the upper Midwest where wehave great, healthy soils. I see it going toMissouri. California has started plantingmore corn and we’re seeing movementout there now too.”

Soil temperature does play a factor inmicrobe activity.

“Corn temperatures don’t harm ourmicrobes; they’re just not as active as com-pared with optimum planting tempera-tures of 65 degrees and above,” he said.

TerraMax does not have statistics onthe effectiveness of later applicationson crops.

“Farmers tend to be very imaginativewith what they do,” said Proepper. “Iwouldn’t be surprised if some might bedoing just that. In many cases thosecropland soils need some special atten-tion and rebuilding.”

By using a unique stabilizing processand media, TerraMax has extended theshelf-life of its azospirillum productstored in packages from 18 to 24months.

Other major companies in the mar-ket are Valent Biosciences, MarroneBio Innovations, Loveland Products,and Becker Underworld.

Tom Proepper was interviewed at theMinnesota Organic Farming Confer-ence in St. Cloud in January.

Rock Rapids, Iowa, makes the claim to be a“City of Murals,” and it is living up to thatclaim. There are 28 murals scattered through-

out the city, with a high concentration downtown,making it possible to walk around and view themajority of them.

The idea came from the town of Toppenish, Wash.Sandy Wynia was a business owner for many

years and often thought about what she could do forher city. On a trip to Toppenish, she saw some of the60 murals that beautify the town.

“It was a long drive back to Iowa, and that gaveme a long time to think,” Wynia said. She came upwith the grand idea of making Rock Rapids a city ofmurals. She shared the idea with her husband.

“He told me, ‘You can’t pull that off,’ and that wasall the incentive I needed.”

In 2002 the Rock Rapids Mural Society wasformed. Wynia and four other volunteers currentlyspearhead the move to put Rock Rapids on the mapas a City of Murals. The murals serve a two-foldpurpose — beautify the city and preserve its his-tory. Most of the paintings are of people and busi-nesses from the city’s past. A long-term goal is tomake Rock Rapids a tourist attraction.

Murals cover the sides of buildings, but secondstory windows also feature people looking down onthe street. With only the street level being occupied,those paintings bring life back to the vacant floors,Wynia said.

One traffic-stopper is a lawyer unlocking a non-existent door in the place where the door to hisoffice used to be. A mural of a painter painting themural also draws a second look. Another has youlooking through a “window” into the soda fountainthat used to be in the building.

The board of the Mural Society comes up withideas, researches them, then sends packets toartists who submit a design and the cost, and theSociety awards the project to the winning design.They often cost thousands of dollars, and are fundedby Society fundraisers, memberships, donations,grants, and occasionally sponsors who have aninterest in the mural’s subject.

Wynia’s grandmother used to tell her, “Whereveryou go, try to improve it.” That’s a mission the RockRapids Mural Society is carrying out.

All of the Rock Rapid murals can be viewed atwww.rockrapids.com. The Mural Society is found byclicking on the Chamber icon. ❖

Grain AnglesHolistic approachto transition plans

Some producers are seeing the down cycle in thegrain markets as an opportunity to exit the business.Maybe it’s time to think about looking toward retire-ment and/or positioning the operation for future gen-erations. All too often, however,planning for the transition is ini-tiated at the same time the seniorowner is walking out the door.

Doesn’t the future of your oper-ation — and your successors —deserve more?

Over the course of the comingmonths, I will be providing aseries on succession and transi-tion planning, with ideas oneverything from laying the foun-dation through implementing thedifferent phases. As a primer, I’dlike to look at the importance oftaking a holistic approach (and the many thingsthat includes) to the process.Discovery, development & implementation

Ideally, the planning process should be carefullyconsidered and begun years before the ownerintends to exit. A holistic approach to this plan con-siders the goals for the individual, the family, andthe business. The process begins with discovery todefine the planning goals and objectives. The devel-opment phase begins exploring different strategiesto meet those goals. Examination of strategies helpsdefine the steps to implement the plan.

At this point, it is important to start aligning advi-sors. The actual ownership transition can take onmany forms and, while decisions are being made, the

Grain OutlookStrong U.S. dollarhinders exports

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing March 6.

CORN — Corn had a choppy, sideways week untilFriday when the surging U.S.dollar sent it toward the lowerend of the trading range we’vebeen in since early February.

The dollar’s late-week rally wasinspired by the better-than-expected non-farm payroll reportfor February.As of this writing, theU.S. dollar index was trading97.685. The last time it tradedabove par or 100 was in April 2003.The payroll report showed anincrease of 295,000 jobs comparedto expectations for just a 235,000increase. The unemployment ratefell from 5.7 percent to 5.5 percent.

A stronger U.S. dollar makes our commodities moreexpensive to importers. The good numbers support theidea that interest rates may be raised/talked about atthe June Federal Reserve meeting. All in all, corn triedto hold its own and failed this week, but it remains inthe recent $3.80 to $4.00 per bushel trading range.

Weekly exports were on the high end of forecasts,but were the second-lowest in the last seven weeks.Old crop sales were 32.6 million bushels and newcrop were 6.2 million bushels. We need to average15.3 million bushels of sales per week for old crop tohit the U.S. Department of Agriculture export fore-cast for 1.75 billion bushels. Ukraine is planning tosend a delegation to China next month to discussincreasing their corn exports to them.

Livestock AnglesCattle steady;hogs sliding

Once again the livestock markets are trying to movein opposite directions. The cattle market is remainingfirm due to tight supplies of live inventory, while thehog market is slumping once again because of amplenumbers of hogs.

At an already historically widedifference between hog and cattleprices as well as pork and beefprices, how long can this continue?The answer will lie in the demandfor each by the consumers.

With the lighter number of avail-able cattle for slaughter, the pack-ers have been forced to compete forlive inventory each week for quitesome time. The immediate futuredoes not seem to hold a conclusionto this problem. This has kept thecash trade much higher than thefutures market during this entire period.

The main reason for the futures market to remain at adiscount to cash has been the anticipation of the changein available cattle for slaughter.Another factor in the dis-count of futures is the fact that demand for beef has con-tracted over the past couple of years, due in part to thehigher cost of beef and more recent the increase in thevalue of the U.S.dollar which has slowed export business.

The battle between supply and demand continues,and will likely continue until either supply or demanddominates the market. This has caused the cash andfutures markets to be relatively confined to a rangetrade in both awaiting that change. The expectation isthat this range trade is likely to continue for a time.Therefore, producers should remain current and use

NYSTROM, from pg. 1BLast week’s ethanol production was

down 16,000 barrels per day to931,000 barrels per day. Ethanolstocks were 66,000 barrels lower at21.53 million barrels. The USDANational Agricultural Statistics Ser-vice monthly Grain Crush report onMarch 2 indicated that 445.7 millionbushels of corn had been crushed forethanol in January.

The implied yield was 2.85 gallonsper bushel, strikingly above the 2.7gallons per bushel that the USDAuses for their balance sheets. Report-edly, a 280,000 barrel or 11.8 milliongallon sale of ethanol was made thisweek to the United Arab Emirates,where it will be blended into gasolinefor Iraq.

Next week brings the monthlyUSDA crop production report. No bigsurprises are anticipated. We willlikely absorb the fresh numbersbefore turning our focus to theProspective Planting and GrainStocks as of March 1 reports that willbe released on March 31.

The average trade estimates for themonthly report on March 10 are asfollows: U.S. 2014-15 ending stocks at1.826 billion bushels versus 1.827 bil-lion last month, global ending stocksof 189.67 million metric tons versus189.64 mmt in February, Argentinecorn production at 23.54 mmt versus

23.0 mmt last monthand Brazil’s corn pro-duction at 74.62 mmtversus 75.0 mmt previously.

A case of H5N5 bird flu was discov-ered on a turkey farm in Minnesotalast week. The farm was quarantinedand all remaining birds were eutha-nized. Minnesota was added to theineligible list to export live birds orpoultry products by more than 20countries.

OUTLOOK: May corn fell 7 1⁄4 centsfor the week to settle at $3.86 per bushel.The December contract was off 6 3⁄4cents to close at $4.10 3⁄4 per bushel. Maycorn continues to be stuck in a $3.80 to$4.00 trading range. The December con-tract should have decent support untilwe see the release of Prospective Plant-ing report with chatter that acres will bedown and ending stocks tighter in 2015-16 than in 2014-15.

Post-March 10 report, attention willconcentrate on the March 31 reportsthat have a tendency to be marketmoving; however, there is not a highcorrelation for which way the marketwill close on the day of these reports.Since 2000, May corn has closed higherthe day of the report nine times, lowerfive times and unchanged once. Lastyear May corn closed a dime higher onMarch 31. The USDA is currently con-ducting producer surveys for theplanting report.

SOYBEANS — Thetrucker strike in Brazil

is essentially over andharvest is back to normal. Thestrength in the U.S. dollar, which is thecurrency Brazilian exporters sell theirsoybeans, versus the weakness in theBrazilian real has made it attractivefor the Brazilian grower to add tosales. The resulting basis weaknesskeeps their soybeans at a competitiveadvantage to U.S. soybeans.

There were reports this week ofChina buying South American soy-beans for April-May delivery. Brazil’ssoybean harvest was pegged at 40 per-cent complete, slightly behind average.The result of the strike ending was akey reversal lower on the charts tobegin the month of March and lowerdaily highs every day for the balance ofthe week. May soybeans traded a rangeof $10.39 to $9.76 3⁄4 for the week.They closed 46 3⁄4 cents lower for theweek at $9.85 per bushel. The Novem-ber soybean contract suffered the samefate, closing 32 1⁄4 cents lower for theweek at $9.65 1⁄4 per bushel.

Heavy rains in the northern areas ofArgentina have caused local flooding.The Buenos Aires Grain Exchangeanticipates that Argentina’s soybeanproduction number could slip one mmtfrom their last estimate to 56 mmt.The USDA’s February projection was56 mmt. Argentine farmers are set tohalt grain sales for three days begin-ning March 11. They are protesting the35 percent export tax on soybeans, andalso want to draw attention to theiroverall plight ahead of the Octoberpresidential election.

The Argentine government is nowrequiring that the sales of plastic stor-age bags be reported to tax authorities.The belief is this is the latest step totrack stored soybeans and possiblyforce sales at a future date. Growers

hold soybean inventories as a hedgeagainst inflation.

Grower sales in the United Stateswere non-existent once the rout began.Many ask what level prices need to hitto draw additional bushels to the mar-ket. At this point, everyone says $10 perbushel on the board, but it may be thecalendar that affects sales versus price.

The monthly USDA crop report isprojected to cut U.S. 2014-15 endingstocks to 376 million bushels, downfrom the 385 million bushels forecastin February. Global ending stocks areexpected to grow to 89.47 mmt versus89.26 last month, Argentina’s beanproduction is forecasted at 56.88 mmtversus 56.0 mmt last month andBrazil’s bean production is expected tobe 94.01 mmt compared to 94.50 mmtin February. Looking ahead to theMarch 31 USDA reports, May soy-beans have closed higher six timessince 2000 and closed lower ninetimes. Last year May soybeans settled27 1⁄2 cents higher on the day of theMarch 31 reports.

Weekly export sales for soybeanswere 18.3 million bushels, droppingthe average needed per week to 3.4million bushels to attain the USDAprojection for 1.79 billion bushels ofexports. This was the biggest weeklysales number in three weeks and atthe high end of pre-report estimates.We have 98 percent or 1.749 billionbushels of export sales on the books,which is in-line with past years for thispoint in the marketing year.

OUTLOOK: Soybeans headed loweras the Brazilian trucker strike wounddown. The soaring U.S. dollar also keptpressure on soybeans prices as endusers moved to the sidelines. Call firstsupport in May soybeans at$9.71/$9.61 per bushel with firstresistance at $10.00 per bushel. ❖

Brazilian beans at competitive advantage to U.S.

TEALE, from pg. 1Bstrength to protect inventories.

After some short-term strength, thehog market has once again begun tohave prices slip lower again. This rallyin price has come from the strength inthe pork cutout which rallied on a short-term reduction in hog numbers. As theweather has moderated hog numbersseem to be once again on the increase.

With pork production on the climband the export market slowing fromthe strength in the U.S. dollar, the like-lihood of packers willing to increase

their bids seems a little remote. Thecold storage situation is also a deter-rent to much price appreciation as coldstorage stocks are more than ample tomeet current demand.

The fact that pork is more or less thebest value in the protein market couldhelp in the macro picture and keep pricesfrom a total collapse. That is the demandfor pork could help offset the supply ofhogs to some degree and slow the descentof prices paid for live inventory by thepacker. Nonetheless, producers shouldapproach the market with caution andprotect profits when available. ❖

Approach with caution

OLSON, from pg. 1Btax advisor, legal advisor, lender, insur-ance representative, financial advisor,and others should be consulted. It iscommon for a family business toengage the services of a professional tofacilitate the planning process.People side of planning

With everything else going on, it canbe easy to forget about the “soft side” ofthe business. In order to prepare suc-cessors, the senior generation must bewilling to release some responsibilityand decision rights. The successor gen-eration wants to take on more respon-sibility and will benefit from continuedguidance from the senior generation.Introducing the successor to key advi-sors and allowing them to observe thesenior owners’ interactions with vari-ous advisors, customers, vendors, andlandlords will develop their credibilityand knowledge.

Additionally, clarify expectations forthe successor.All too often the successor

is unsuccessfully trying to meet the sen-ior generation’s expectations withoutfully understanding them. This can befrustrating to both generations, and insome cases, drives the successor away.Get started

Communication is key. The owners,family members and business must beable to identify and understand theirsituation today and talk about whatthey want it to look like in the future.

The next piece in this series on suc-cession and transition planning willbegin focusing on economics, includingbusiness profitability, budgets andbusiness plans and family cash needs.

This column was writtenfor the marketing week end-ing March 6.

The February Federalorder Class III milk priceMarch 4 at $15.46 per hun-dredweight, down 72 centsfrom January, $7.89 belowFebruary 2014, $1.68 abovethe comparable CaliforniaClass 4b cheese milk price,and equates to about $1.33per gallon, down from$1.39 in January. It isthe lowest Class IIIprice since May 2012’s$15.23.

Class III futures indicate this will notbe the bottom for 2015 as the Marchcontract was trading late Friday morn-ing at $15.40 and April was at $15.28.The turnaround begins in May at$15.31 and peaks at just $17.32/cwt. inOctober, $7.28 less than the 2014 peakwhich occurred in September.

The February Class IV price is$13.82, up 59 cents from January but$9.64 below a year ago.

The California Department of Food andAgriculture announced the State’s Febru-ary 4b cheese milk price March 2 at$13.78/cwt., up 3 cents from January butan eye-popping $7.36 below February2014. The small rebound reverses fourweeks of decline but is $8.61 below therecord high $22.39 in September 2014.

The ongoing gap between this week’sannounced benchmark milk prices nar-rowed some. The Federal order ClassIII price, at $15.46/cwt., compared toCalifornia’s Class 4b cheese milk priceof $13.78.

The gap in 2014 ranged from a low of84 cents in January, to a high of $3.24

in November. The range in2013 was from 67 cents inApril to $2.30 in January.

The Milk Producers Coun-cil’s Rob VandenHeuvel hasoften written about the gapin his weekly newsletter andthe millions of dollars it hascost California dairy produc-ers. It is also the impetusbehind the recent effort toform a Federal order in the

nation’s No. 1 milk pro-ducer.

California’s February4a butter-powder milk price is $13.46,up 37 cents from January, but $9.62below a year ago.

Meanwhile, Cheddar block cheeseclosed the first Friday of March at$1.56 per pound, up 1.5 cents on theweek but 73.25 cents below a year ago.The Cheddar barrels closed at $1.4950,up a quarter-cent on the week and 75.5cents below a year ago and a largerthan normal 6.5 cents below the blocks.Four cars of block and none of barreltraded hands on the week. TheNational Dairy Products Sales Report-surveyed U.S. average block priceclimbed to $1.5529 per pound, up 2.1cents, while the barrels rolled 0.3 centslower, to $1.5257.

The cheese market continues to be avery stable situation, according toDairy Market News. Midwest manufac-turers view this period as one wherebusiness as usual is being done. Heavymilk supplies continue to move to Mid-west cheese vats as a preference toother dairy products. Buyers continuebuying cheese, although at a slowerpace in some plants than others, as

inventories begin to fill.Fresh cheddar is fairly easy to locate

and purchase. Many cheese sellers donot anticipate any imminent factor thatwill significantly move markets off thecurrent resting point, although thereremains a “calm before the possiblestorm” apprehension with other manu-facturers, who are nervous about themarket’s lack of any clear direction anddread the unknown. There is an aware-ness of the potential for what somemanufacturers believe could be minorsoftening in domestic cheese prices, asthe spring flushes in the United Statesand European Union progress.

Cash butter jumped 8.5 cents Mon-day, then lost 3 cents Tuesday, andclosed Friday at $1.75, up 5.5 cents onthe week but 13 cents below a year ago.Thirty-two cars sold on the week.NDPSR butter averaged $1.7068, downa half-cent.

Retail butter sales are increasing asthe spring holidays near, reportsUSDA’s Dairy Market News. Print but-ter inventory levels are average toincreasing and available cream is mov-ing to churns. Cream levels are mixedas some reports indicate a tight mar-ket, while others are showing surplus.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk fin-ished the week at $1.0250, down 13cents, with 31 cars finding new homes.NDPSR powder averaged $1.0580 perpound, up 3.9 cents, and dry wheykeeps sliding, down 2.4 cents, to 48.79cents per pound.

Nonfat dry milk markets are unset-tled as buyers and sellers attempt togauge near term price trends in lightof recent price swings. Production issteady to higher. The dock slowdownat Western ports continues to impactexports.

MIELKE, from pg. 3BThe Global Dairy Trade auction,

March 3, saw the weighted averagefor all products jump 1.1 percent, fol-lowing a 10.1 percent jump on Feb. 17.It is the sixth consecutive event ofgain though the smallest since theJan. 20 event.

The gains were again led by Ched-dar cheese, up 10.8 percent, followinga 16.8 percent increase in the Feb. 17event. Butter milk powder was next,up 6.8 percent, following a 1.9 percentincrease last time. Next was skimmilk powder, up 5.9 percent, which fol-lows a 5.7 percent jump last time. But-ter was up 2.5 percent, following a 1.1percent increase last time.

Declines were led by anhydrousmilkfat, down 2.2 percent. It was up6.4 percent last time. Whole milk pow-der followed, down 1 percent, after a13.7 percent jump in the last event,and rennet casein rounded out thelosses, down 0.7 percent, following a1.2 percent increase last time.

FC Stone reports the average GDTbutter price today equated to about

$1.7744 per pound U.S.,up from $1.7340 in theFeb. 17 event. Contrastthat to Chicago Mercantile Exchangebutter which closed Friday at $1.75 perpound. The GDT Cheddar cheese aver-age was $1.5318 per pound U.S., upfrom $1.3854. The U.S. block CheddarCME price closed Friday at $1.56. TheCME Grade A nonfat dry milk priceclosed Friday morning at $1.0250 perpound.

Don’t let the stability in dairy prod-uct prices convince you that commer-cial disappearance is behind it. JerryDryer, editor of the Dairy and FoodMarket Analyst, said in Friday’s Dairy-Line that he would hesitate to use theword “stable,” when describing com-mercial disappearance. He said themarket “appears to be in reasonablygood balance,” but he thinks we’regoing to get “overloaded with producthere in the not too distant future.”

Commercial disappearance of butterwas down more than 5 percent duringthe most recent three months, Novem-

ber through January, hesaid, using his data and

USDA’s Dairy Productsreport issued this week.

Cheese was a “mixed bag” in that samethree months, he said, with Americantype cheese sales up 2.9 percent. Itstaged a pretty nice recovery, heexplained, because it was running in neg-ative territory during third quarter 2014.

Other than American cheese, saleswere only up 1.1 percent, Dryer said,and in July, had been running as muchas five percent ahead of a year ago. Ayear ago it was up 3.6 percent, he said sothe 1.1 percent gain is “reasonably good.”

Nonfat dry milk disappearance wasup 10 percent, according to Dryer, buthe attributes that to domestic use inthe cheese vat, however he warned thatwill only generate more cheese and putmore pressure on the markets.

He also warned that inventory build-ing is going to “fade into the rear mirrorhere soon so we’re going to have somecheese looking for a home as well.”

When asked if the decline in butterdisappearance was a result of thehigher prices, Dryer replied, no, asdomestic disappearance has been“pretty good,” but he stated that “theprice is impacting our ability to exportbutter as opposed to any domesticresistance to the higher prices.” Headmitted that there was some stickershock but the lower prices have sincelessened that impact.

When asked how low prices will go,he said butter only has a small amountof downside left but he sees the possi-bility of 10-15 cents coming off thecheese prices “pretty easily,” and hislong range forecast has nonfat dry milktrading below $1 per pound as we getinto the spring flush, he concluded.

You’ll recall that January 2015 milkproduction totaled 16.5 billion pounds,according to USDA’s preliminary data,up 2.1 percent compared to January2014. USDA’s latest Dairy Productsreport shows where the milk went.

One place the extra milk didn’t gowas the churn. January butter outputtotaled 179 million pounds, up 7.1 per-cent from December but 1.6 percentbelow January 2014. Some of the extramilk went to the dryer. Nonfat dry milkoutput, at 166 million pounds, was up1.5 percent from December but 19.4percent ahead of a year ago. The reportalso shows powder stocks at 239.8 mil-lion pounds, as of Jan. 31, up 0.6 per-cent from December 2014 and 60.8 per-cent above those a year ago.

Total cheese output in January hit980 million pounds, down 1.9 percentfrom December but 2.8 percent above ayear ago. The Daily Dairy Report saysJanuary cheese output was the highestin 15 years.

Steve Mohr, of FoundationOrganic Seeds in Onalaska,Wis., offers a variety of conven-tional corn hybrids, non-GMOseed, organic seeds and silagecorn hybrids — the types ofseed that are hot topics forcorn growers.

“Interest in organic farming keepsgrowing,” said Mohr. “Some farmersget interested in non-GMO corn also,

but when they do the maththat often changes their think-ing. If they’re not rotating theirground, they’ve got to get intoan insecticide package. Southfrom Onalaska there might bemore flights of corn borer sothat’s a concern. If weeds are achallenge, you probably dosave enough on seed costs to

pay for the spray. But if corn borer isan issue, than you have a yield prob-lem plus potential stalk rot.”

Conventional grain hybrids are thebulk of sales for Foundation OrganicSeeds. However because he’s in heavydairy country, silage corn is also a

bread winner. He’s a student aboutwhat constitutes good silage corn.

“We look at the fiber content,” hesaid. “A lot of companies say theyhave silage corn. I checked the web-site of one major seed company. Theyhad 112 hybrids with 60 listed assilage hybrids, too. I would doubt all60 are silage specific.”

Low neutral detergent fiber (lignin)and high digestible fiber are two cru-

SILAGE, from pg. 5Bcial scores in his evaluation of silagecorn values. On the grain portion, hewants a minimum of 30 percentstarch.

“You’re feeding the corn for energy soyou need a lot of grain,” Mohr said.“We look for a floury type grain with asofter-starch. It’s just easier to digest.There are lots of differences in sizes of

starch molecules.“Michigan State is noted for testing

forage corns. They say all corn starchisn’t the same. If you look at starchmolecules under a microscope differenthybrids have different sizes of mole-cules. Floury grain with large starchmolecules has a low adhesion factorand will dissolve easily in the cow.Starch molecules from regular grain issmall and tightly bound to each otherand not readily digestible in the cow.It’s like comparing a loose soil struc-ture like a sandy loam to a tightlypacked soil like red clay. A nutritionistthat is balancing a ration needs toknow which type of starch they aredealing with.”

Root structure is always importantin corn production.

“You need a big enough root to drawthe nutrients out of the soil,” Mohrsaid. “That’s the primary function ofroots; its secondary function is as ananchor.”

Whether cobs are white or pinkstems from the breeding background.Silage hybrids started as grain lineshave white cobs. He prefers a whitecob because if corn silage is put up at65 percent moisture or higher, as thecob starts to dry, a white cob willremain softer and more chewable.

He deals in 90-day to 102-day matu-rity silage corn in his southeast Min-nesota, southwest Wisconsin andnortheast Iowa market. He tells grow-ers to hold back on population per acrein their silage corn fields.

“Get up to like 38,000 PPA and theratio of the outside of the stalk to theinside gets worse,” he said. “The moreoutside stalk you have the more lignin.When you plant lighter, that stalk getsbigger and the ratio gets betterbecause that inside is softer with a lit-tle less lignin.”

Mohr’s firm prices silage hybridsabout $5 more than the conventionalhybrids.

“We do more research; we do moretesting on the silage corn. And whenyou’re growing a crop for dairy cows

we think it’s important that you pro-vide both production data and nutri-tion data,” he said.

With grain corn, all that’s needed is ayield check, he added.

Most companies rely on NearInfrared Reflectance tests. Mohr chal-lenges the validity of the NIR tests. Heindicated both some Wisconsin andUniversity of Minnesota dairy scien-tists are questioning this procedurealso. He’s suggesting wet chemistrytechniques give better data.

“We do yield checks (for tonnage) onour silage hybrids plus we do wetchemistry testing. We do a 24-hourrumen fluid test which is more expen-sive than the typical NIR tests done bymost companies,” Mohr said. “The Uni-versity of Wisconsin silage tests areNIR; they seldom do wet chemistrytests.”

“There’s a cost,” he continued. “Withour bigger customers close to our head-quarters, I’ll test every field. I knowthe fields. I’ll get samples from everyfield; run those samples up the ForageLab test at Marshfield for those 24-hour rumen fluid tests. Cost is about$70. But nutritionally you then knowprecisely what you’re starting with. Iget the results back out to the dairyfarmers; they give them to their rationguy and mix it accordingly.”

Mohr doesn’t predict shifting in thesilage corn market.

“If they got livestock they’re going tobuy silage hybrids,” he said. “Becauseof the nutritional impact, I don’t advisebuying the cheapest silage corn just tosave a few dollars at the front end.Poor performance and you’re payingthe price all season.”

Quality of the finished product setsthe price for silage corn.

“Because the dairy farmer has asharp eye for nutritional value, goodsilage corns are always in demand,”said Mohr.

Mohr was interviewed at the Min-nesota Organic Farming Conference inSt. Cloud in January. ❖

One may argue that the single most importantnutrient on earth is water. Humans can surviveweeks without any food, but only a few days withoutwater. Most livestock can survive for two monthswithout food, but, again, cannot go more than a weekwithout water.

Water is very important to all animals, and espe-cially dairy cows. Cows require water for bodily func-tions like digestion as well as lactation. On average,milk produced by dairy cows is about 87 percentwater. A cow’s daily water requirement can rangefrom 30-50 gallons.

Dairy cows spend about 4-5 hours per day eating,but only 20-30 minutes drinking water. It’s importantto take steps in order to meet your cows’ needs andoptimize water intake. Here are some tips:

• Make sure waterers are easily accessible. Thereshould be direct access to water as cows exit the milk-ing parlor, as well as access to water within 50 feet ofthe feed bunk.

• Provide trough space of 3.5 linear inches per cow,and have at least two waterers per pen.

• Check flow rates, and maintain a minimum ofthree inches in the trough at all times.

• Keep waterers clean, as clean, fresh water willlead to optimum intake.

Don’t forget aboutwater for heifers

Scientists are tracking a new species of pestivirusthat could pose a threat to U.S. cattle. Tentativelycalled “HoBi-like viruses,” they are related to bovineviral diarrhea viruses, which cause significant eco-nomic losses to cattle producers worldwide.

Originally found in South America, HoBi-likeviruses have since been associated with disease out-breaks in Southeast Asia and more recently inEurope. Signs of infection include slowed growth,reduced milk production, higher rates of reproduc-tive and respiratory diseases, and a higher inci-dence of death among young animals. No vaccinesare available to specifically prevent HoBi infectionin cattle.

At the Agricultural Research Service’s NationalAnimal Disease Center in Ames, Iowa, microbiolo-gist Julia Ridpath and her colleagues are character-izing HoBi-like viruses and determining whetheravailable BVDV diagnostics and vaccines are effec-tive in detecting and preventing them.

“We’ve found that cattle vaccinated against BVDVhave little or no protection against HoBi infections,”Ridpath said. “Our current BVDV tests and com-mercial vaccines are not adequate to detect HoBi-like viruses and protect cattle against them.”

These findings, published in Veterinary Microbiol-ogy and the Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Inves-tigation, indicate a need for new diagnostics andvaccines specific to these viruses.

Ridpath, who is in NADC’s Ruminant Diseasesand Immunology Unit, also demonstrated that

acute HoBi infections in cattle result in immunosup-pression. Like BVDV, HoBi has the ability to crossthe placenta, infecting the fetus and establishing alifelong infection in an animal. Such animals arereferred to as “persistently infected.”

“A calf born persistently infected with BVDV is likea ‘Typhoid Mary,’ shedding virus into the environmentthrough its tears, blood, urine, feces, and skin,” Rid-path said. “All of its tissues carry the virus. We havefound that the same is true of calves persistentlyinfected with HoBi-like viruses, and they can trans-mit the virus to other calves, sheep, goats, and pigs.”

Ridpath and her colleagues at NADC are collabo-rating with researchers in Brazil and Italy to inves-tigate the prevalence of HoBi. In a study publishedin the Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigationin 2014, the team conducted a survey of fetal bovineserum collected from animals in the United States.No HoBi-like viruses were detected. This suggeststhat the viruses have not invaded the country.

The first published report of HoBi in European cat-

tle was in a 2010 respiratory disease outbreak. How-ever, ARS scientists and their colleagues from Italydemonstrated that HoBi had been in circulation inEurope earlier than previously reported. Theydetected the virus in archived samples sent to adiagnostic laboratory in Italy in 2007.

Future efforts will continue to involve conductingimmunology surveys to ensure that HoBi-likeviruses have not entered the United States, Ridpathsays. Additionally, scientists are working to developtests to screen imported animals and animal prod-ucts to make sure they are free of these viruses.

This article was published in the Nov./Dec. 2014issue of Agricultural Research magazine. It was writ-ten by ARS information staff member Sandra Avent.This research is part of Animal Health, an ARSnational program (No. 103) described atwww.nps.ars.usda.gov.

ST. CLOUD, Minn. — Mastitis canhave several negative effects: decreasedmilk production, high bulk tank somaticcell count, potential loss of milk qualitypremiums, and an overall decrease infarm profitability. Milk quality and masti-tis management tie in to several aspectsof the farm: parlor management, cowcomfort, facilities cleanliness, hygiene,milk production and profitability.

Mastitis management is consideredto be most important in our lactatingcows. However, mastitis must be man-aged in heifers and dry cows too.

Taking the time to manage your preg-nant heifers for mastitis matters. Milk-producing tissues in the udder undergothe most development during the firstpregnancy. Mastitis during this timecan cause permanent damage and leadto reduced lifetime production.

There are several causes of mastitisin heifers. Bacteria that are present onthe udder skin surface can enterthrough the teat orifice. If your calvessuckle on each other, the bacteria fromtheir mouths can transfer onto theteats. Bacteria present in a dirty envi-ronment, including those on bitingflies, may congregate on teat ends.

When it comes to fighting bacteriathe most important thing you can do iskeep the environment clean. Regularlyremove manure, change bedding, andkeep the heifers’ pens dry. Cleanlinessis key in mastitis prevention. Watchfor calves sucking on each other. If younotice it, separate the problem calffrom the rest of the group.

Heifers can be treated for mastitisduring any of their three trimesterswithout any effect on calving. How-ever, treatment should not be adminis-tered within 45 days of expected calv-ing date. When treating heifers, it isbest to use a non-lactating cow prod-uct. Lastly, consult with your veteri-narian before administering any sortof mastitis treatment to a heifer.

Dry cow mastitis management is justas important for your heifers. Fifty to 60percent of all new infections caused byenvironmental pathogens occur duringthe dry period. In addition, over 50 per-cent of clinical coliform mastitis events inthe first 100 days in milk originated dur-ing the dry period. Mastitis contractedduring the dry period can result in anestimated loss of $200 per cow per year.

Environmental organisms can infectthe cow during lactation and/or duringthe dry period. Included in that is thespread of mastitis-causing bacteria onbiting flies that congregate on teat ends.Another cause can be contagious organ-isms that spread through the herd.Theserisk factors increase a cow’s chance ofmatitis during the dry peried: cow’s lac-tation number, if she had a high milkyield at dry off, and the method used fordrying off. Risk factors related to theudder quarter include teat end exposureto bacteria, teat end condition, and thetimely formation of the keratin plug.

To prevent dry cow mastitis, main-taining a clean environment is key.Cows with known infections should beseparated from the rest of the group.As flies can be a threat to udderhealth, use an effective fly manage-ment program. Maximize immunedefenses with vaccinations that havegram negative core antigens.

Many options are available for dry cowmastitis treatment. The first is an intra-mammary infusion at dry off. This willeliminate existing infections and preventnew infections early in the dry period.These infusions will not prevent infec-tions caused by resistant bacteria and

are not effective in the late dry period.

Another option is an internal teatsealant. They are insoluble in milk andthus have excellent persistence. Inter-nal sealants can be hand-stripped out ofthe quarter after calving. If they aren’tstripped out in time, they can be safelyingested by the calf. Lastly, there are noantimicrobial properties or residueissues with internal teat sealants.

External teat sealants may also be

used.These are made of a plastic polymerand form a physical barrier around theteat. They are easy to apply, dry quickly,and are non-irritating and non-toxic.External sealants will shed off the teat in3-7 days. For full benefit, external teatsealants should be applied at dry off, andthen re-applied at 10 days before calving.

By TIM KINGThe Land Correspondent

Steve Glischinski’sremarkable book “Min-nesota Railroads: APhotographic History, 1940-2012”includes a photo taken of the St. PaulUnion Depot on April 30, 1971. Thatwas the last day ofpassenger train serv-ice from that magnifi-cent building untilMay 7, 2014.

Glichinski’s bookwas published by theUniversity of Min-nesota Press in 2012,so it failed to capturethe return of rail pas-senger service to Minnesota’s capitol city.

But what the hundreds of photos,along with the well-written and fact-filled captions do tell is the story ofrailroad’s grand mid-century days, latecentury decline, and 21st century ren-aissance. For anybody with the leastinterest in railroads and Minnesota’shistory, the large format book is a page-turner.

Throughout the last70 years or so therehas been a group ofslightly fanatical pho-tographers who fanned

out across Minnesota to capture rail-road history on film and, more recently,digital images. Glischinski took some of

those shots himselfand he invested anawful lot of shoeleather in locatinghundreds more.

Take, for example,the April 17, 1971,photo of a small groupof people waiting atBurlington Northern’stiny one room clap-

board station at Crookston. They arewaiting for Burlington Northern’s Train47 to take them to Winnipeg.

Baron Behning took the photo just 13days before the company discontinuedpassenger service on that line. Thephoto’s bleakness nicely captures thetheme of decline and deterioration of

See RAILROADS, pg. 12B

For anybody withthe least interest inrailroads and Min-nesota’s history, thelarge format bookis a page-turner.

RAILROADS, from pg. 11Brailroads during that time that Glischinski docu-ments in that section of his book.

Glischinski’s photo collection also records the haydays of Minnesota railroading during the 1940s and1950s. That was the era when steam was giving wayto diesel and even a few gas-electric trains. A 1947photo, by Ronald V. Nixon, records the panorama ofthe Mississippi River Valley from the top of BarnBluff as a steam-powered mail and express trainheads toward Red Wing. Glischinski tells the readerabout that train:

“The steam locomotive is a streamlined 4-6-4-F7-class Hudson. Designer Otto Kuhler styled theshrouding with orange and gray paint and silverwings. Six Hudsons were built by American Locomo-tive in 1938 for heavy high-speed passenger service.

They once pulled glamour trains such as theHiawathas, but by 1947 diesels had taken over manyruns and the beautifulengines wound up on sec-ondary trains such as this.”

Each of the four photo-graphic sections of Min-nesota Railroads begins witha few pages of text that ana-lyzes that period of railroadhistory. “The Revival andRevitalization, 1980-2000”text concludes with the follow-ing regarding that period’sfinal years:

“There were fewer miles oftrack, but those that remainedwere well maintained and car-ried more traffic. The large rail-roads of 1980 BurlingtonNorthern, Chicago & Northwestern, MilwaukeeRoad, and Soo Line had morphed into BNSF Rail-way, Canadian Pacific, and Union Pacific. Lines thatonce might have been abandoned were operated byshort line and regional railroads. Railroads, oncespurned by investors as a declining industry, hadbecome an attractive investment.”

Most Americans are familiar with the big railroadnames, but Glischinski’s Revival and Revitalizationsection is full of photos of trains and names of com-panies that were created during those years. Thereare the Otter Tail Valley Railroad and the short line

conglomerate RailAmerica. There are the MinnesotaCommercial Railway, Twin Citiesand Western, St. Croix ValleyRailroad and others. These arethe companies, along with thebig familiar companies, that aremoving freight, or not moving it,in the 21st century. There were19 railroads operating in Min-nesota in 2012, according toGlischinski. The longest wasBNSF with 1,598 miles of trackand the shortest was the RedRiver Valley & Western Rail-road that operated on twomiles of track.

Glischinski’s photo collectionpresents a remarkable historyof Minnesota railroading.

Sometimes they are more than that.Many hint at or show a broader American historysuch as the 1949 photo of pistol toting mail workerssorting mail in a railway post office or Byron D.Olsen’s June 1961 photo of a train on Minneapolis’Stone Arch Bridge which also shows the St. AnthonyFalls Lock and Dam No. 1 under construction. Somephotos, like William D. Middleton’s 1959 shot of thesteward in the North Coast Limited dining car, areart and history combined.

“Minnesota Railroads: A Photographic History,1940-2012” is an entertaining and educational lookinto the state’s past and a thoughtful analysis ofwhat the future may hold. It can be obtained directlyfrom the University of Minnesota Press or from book-stores. ❖

Your friends think you’remade of rubber.

You always bounce back, asthey point out. You’re alwayshappy when the good times rollbut when they don’t, you reachfor your bootstraps. Nothinglays you low for long becauseyou just bounce back.

And it seemed that way forJessie Close. But in her newmemoir “Resilience: Two Sis-ters and a Story of Mental Ill-ness” (with Pete Earley), she wasn’t bouncing back.She was bouncing around.

The Creature lived right behind her left ear. It hadbeen screaming “over and over and over again,”taunting Jessie Close to kill herself. She didn’t wantto do it, but that wasn’t the first time suicide hadentered her mind.

Born the last of four children, Close had alwaysbeen “the family troublemaker.” The trouble, how-ever, wasn’t all hers: when she was five years old,Close’s parents joined the Moral Re-Armament,which was “a cult, plain and simple.” The familymoved to New York, to an MRA estate where theywere purposely separated. Eventually, Close’s fatherwas sent to Africa and the family joined him there.

By that time, Close was “isolated and lonely,”prone to picking at a spot on her hand until it bled.She felt abandoned, and started acting out until shewas sent back to the States, to various family mem-bers and schools in an attempt to control her behav-ior. She began drinking and sleeping around, muchto her parents’ horror. At 17, she married her first of

THE BOOKWORMSEZ

See BOOKWORM, pg. 14B

“Resilience: Two Sisters and a Story ofMental Illness” by Jessie Close with Pete Earleyc.2015, Grand Central Publishing$27.00 / $30.00 Canada306 pages

BOOKWORM, from pg. 13 Bfive husbands, a man whose abusedrove her further into the maniashe’d been experiencing for years.

But the relationship Close hadwith him wasn’t the only thing thatturned bad: through the 1960s and1970s, she held a series of jobs invarious parts of the country, marriedand left men impulsively, had anabortion and gave birth to three chil-dren. She received tentative diag-noses and medications but theireffects didn’t last.

By the time Close neared her 50s,the Creature was winning….

Of course, there’s much more tothis story and therein lies the issue Ihad with this book: there’s almosttoo much to take in when you’rereading “Resilience.”

Author Jessie Close (with Pete Earley) packs a tor-nado in this memoir, in the form of multiple moves,jobs, and loves. She’s here on one page and there apage later, only to move the story to a new localeagain in a few paragraphs. Yes, you could argue thatthe narrative explains the illness, but it was a bit toomuch.

The appeal of this book, I think, lies between thoselines. Close brings readers to the edge with her,

clearly giving us a sense of the help-lessness and fear that accompaniedher mental illness. That, not thefrenzied travelogue, is what’s worthreading.

Add in a few second-viewpointchapters from big sister and actressGlenn Close and you’ve got a memoir

that, as a whole, is pretty powerful. See if you canoverlook the relentlessness of it, and “Resilience”could be a book you’ll bounce for.

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

The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terri hasbeen reading since she was 3 years old and never goesanywhere without a book. She lives in Wisconsin withthree dogs and 10,000 books. ❖

It goes without saying thatthere will always be differ-ences between women. Ourlikes and dislikes, ourshapes and personalities, ourtaste in clothes, music, food,hair stylists, doctors, homedécor, ingrown toenail reme-dies, bathroom scale accu-racy, laundry soap and more.

But perhaps our biggestdifferences lie in the way wechoose our spouses, andwhere that choice takes us.This brings us to the differencesbetween farm women and our urbancounterparts.

I spoke recently to a farm wife whohas raised her family, but still saysshe’s a city girl who hasn’t yet adaptedto life on the farm. It takes awhile toadjust.

Take the laundry. I don’t doubt thatwomen in town have husbands whotend to get into the grease and presenther with the challenge of getting it outof his clothes. Farm women also dealwith that, and the issue of natural fer-tilizer. I truly don’t know if urbanwomen have to hose off blue jeans inthe front yard before they get washed,but I know I’ve had to do it a few times.The mailman must wonder what goeson around here.

The farm woman knowsthat supper is served at“dark-thirty,“ and notbefore. A 6 p.m. meal wouldserve only as a snack, sincethere are at least four morehours of work to do before itgets too dark, and everyoneis hungry once again.

Cleaning the farm house iseven different than cleaningthe urban home. While cer-tainly young children andhousehold projects can cre-

ate messes in any home, the farmwoman deals with ag commodities inher house. Corn, soybeans and oats arescattered on the basement floor fromthe clothing and shoes of tired farmerswho come in late at night, and acres ofdirt from shoes and socks after theguys have been out picking up rocks inthe field all day. The farm mom willeven find an occasional sheep’s tail hid-ing in the basement — a treasure thatyoung hands have discovered and res-cued. And if she doesn’t find a cornstalk growing in her basement, she’sbeen successful in house cleaning overtime.

And the dust. By the looks of ourhouse, historians would scratch theirheads in bewilderment over how theDust Bowl of the 1930s has managed tostill hover directly over our farm 70

years later.There are many babies on the farm

— some two-legged, but most four-legged. And many a farm wife can tellyou that their own babies will be win-ter ones, lest they find themselves inthe delivery room alone because thecrops need to be planted, hay needs tobe baled or the corn needs to be com-bined before it rains.

Farm children themselves are evendifferent than children who grow up intown. While children growing up intown know the rigors of household andyard responsibilities, farm kids alsoknow what it is to get out of bed earlyevery morning even during the sum-mer simply because their animals arewaiting to be fed. They learn to operatefarm machinery, vaccinate animals,build fences and gates, and work withlivestock — sometimes chasing themdown country roads and out of fieldswhen they break free. It’s MotherNature’s track practice, which unfortu-nately knows no age limit.

Only a farm mother has the gall tobring manure-spattered young chil-dren into the house, clean them up forthe day, and kiss them good-night.Sometimes her husband is themanure-spattered one, and sometimesit’s she herself, too.

To the farm woman, red and greenare more than just a display of Christ-mas colors. The banter goes on all yearlong as to which color dominates inthe farm yard.

A young urban girl might hear thewords, “Get your boots on — let’s go,”and think of a snowmobile excursion orsome kind of social event. But that samething being said to a farm girl doesn’thold the same appeal. She knows it’stime to clean out the barn again.

Oh, the injustice of it all.One thing binds us together as

women, though — and that is what wesee as beautiful. Our urban friendsmay not see the beauty in a manure-spattered young child, but the farmwoman sees tomorrow’s food produc-ers in all of that mess that she cleansup each day. Whether they’re from thefarm or from our urban population —beautiful adults emerge from bothplaces … even though the process ofgetting them there are as different asthe people who raise them.
