May 29, 2015© 2015

These beautiful spring days when thesun is shining, the lilacs in bloom and thecrops coming up are a gift after the windy,dreary weeks sprinkled throughoutMarch and April.

The sunshine is even more welcome inlight of avian flu which we’ve all been fol-lowing in its random spread across Min-nesota turkey farms, Iowa turkey farmsand egg laying operations, then on to Min-nesota egg laying operations.

The sun’s UV rays help kill the H5N2virus. The tallies change daily as I checkboth the Minnesota and Iowa avianresponse websites and read the newsreleases sent regularly sinceMarch 4 in Minnesota and April 14in Iowa. So far, over 25 millionbirds have been affected in Iowaand over 8 million in Minnesota.

The good news is the virus seemsto be slowing down, at least inMinnesota.

I talked with John Zimmerman,a Northfield, Minn., turkey pro-ducer whose county and flock havebeen spared thus far.

“We’re all on edge,” he said. “Idon’t know a turkey producer outthere that’s not scared, frankly.”

Then there’s the feeling of help-lessness for growers who watchtheir flocks die from the disease or be euthanized.“It’s devastating to the individual farms that get thisdisease,” Zimmerman said. “My heart goes out tothem.”

Growers are under major stress. In a May 4 articlein the St. Cloud Times, Kirsti Marohn interviewedNancy Carlson, behavioral health preparednessdirector for the Minnesota Department of Health.Trouble concentrating, difficulty sleeping and gettingupset more easily are normal reactions in this situa-tion, said Carlson.

MDH is working with regional health contacts toassess community mental health needs. Some coun-selors even have farming experience, noted the Times.

A side-effect of avian flu for poultry pro-ducers, as well as laid-off plant workers, isanxiety and depression. These conditionsare real and can be just as paralyzing as

any physical ailment. I’ve had bouts withdepression and rely on a low-dose antide-pressant. When I was depressed, I cried a

lot; I once cried as I sat hugging myknees to my chest beneath thekitchen counter. Everyday tasksand decisions were overwhelming.

Friends and family membershave confided in me about anxietythat has caused insomnia, teethgrinding, confusion and physicalpanic symptoms of a racing heartand shortness of breath.

Anxiety disorders are the mostcommon mental illness in theUnited States, affecting 40 mil-lion adults or 18 percent of thepopulation according to the Anxi-ety and Depression Association ofAmerica. While anxiety disorder ishighly treatable, only one-third of

those suffering receive treatment.One risk factor for anxiety is a life event. Often

anxiety and depression go hand-in-hand.There should be no shame or stigma in getting

mental health assistance. May is Mental HealthMonth and Mental Health America is encouragingAmericans to treat their mental health early, ratherthan later when symptoms are more severe andrecovery a longer process.

Like any health issue, mental health is best dealtwith early.

OPINION

A side-effect ofavian flu for poultryproducers, as wellas laid-off plantworkers, is anxietyand depression.These conditions arereal and can be justas paralyzing as anyphysical ailment.

Let’s go out on a small limb and make abig prediction: Not only will the U.S. Sen-ate vote to give this president and thenext one fast track trade authority, so toowill the U.S. House of Representatives.

Moreover, and since we’re already on thelimb, here are two more predictions: First,both the House and Senate will approvethe Trans-Pacific Partnership, a 12-nationtrade deal that looks across our westernocean and, second, Congress will alsoapprove the Transatlantic Trade andInvestment Partnership, another tradedeal that looks across our eastern ocean.

Like this high wire act? One more then!Despite dire predictions by both sides that all votes

will be razor thin, both approving votes, while notbig, will be big enough to make most Americans askwhat all the hand wringing and lip flapping wasabout.

The predictions are neither bold nor foolish. In fact,each simply reflects every “free trade” vote sinceNAFTA, the first big trade deal simultaneouslydebated by the nation, Congress, and that era’s presi-dential candidates.

You may not remember much about the fight overthe North American Free Trade Agreement, or

NAFTA, but two scenes are hard to forget.The first came when then-1992 presi-

dential candidate Ross Perot closed a live,televised debate with his White Housecompetitors, President George H.W. Bushand Democratic challenger Bill Clinton,by saying the pending NAFTA deal wouldencourage so many U.S. businesses tomove manufacturing jobs to Mexico that“there will be a giant sucking sound goingsouth” because of it.

Perot’s sharp-toothed observation, deliv-ered in his high-pitched Texas twang,became the sound bite of the election.It echoed for years thereafter because

his zany prediction wasn’t crazy. In 2010, the non-profit, nonpartisan Economic Policy Institute esti-mated that 682,900 U.S. jobs had moved to Mexico inNAFTA’s first 15 years.

The second unforgettable moment came when theHouse voted to approve NAFTA (Senate approvalwas never in doubt) late in 1993 by a 234-to-200margin. It wasn’t a rout, but it was a stunninglylarge victory for Clinton who had beaten friends inthe Democratically-controlled House like a dimestore drum.

Got guts? Bet on Trans-Pacific Partnership passing

OPINION

GUEBERT, from pg. 3The victory, as sweet as

it was for that WhiteHouse, should have been foreseen by every handicap-per and pundit — including me — had any of usbeen listening to how the Clinton White House wasframing the debate.

The NAFTA fight, argued Clinton’s top salesman,Chicago tough guy Bill Daley, wasn’t about losingtoday’s jobs to Mexico or yesterday’s markets toCanada. Instead, he preached, NAFTA was abouthow the United States would dominate tomorrow’sglobal economy with not-yet invented technologies,jobs, and markets.

Brilliant; how can you argue — let alone vote—against a technology, market or job you’ve neverseen, heard of or used? NAFTA, Daley offered, wasn’tabout Ford and GM moving factories to Mexico in1995; it was about companies not yet named Googleand Facebook creating American jobs in 2010.

Not surprisingly, export-loving American farmersand ranchers embraced the Clinton view (withoutembracing Clinton) and promoted NAFTA to theirrepresentatives as the greatest thing to hit U.S. agri-culture since rubber tires.

Now, 22 years on, here we are again. A largelyunread, secretly negotiated, un-amendable tradeagreement awaits Congressional action as itsunlikely champion, another Democratic president,encourages another Chicagoan, his secretary of com-merce, Penny Pritzker, to again sell the deal toenough friends — Congressional Democrats — todrag it across the finish line.

And all of it is about that great, hopeful unknown,the “future.” Will this White House close this deal?

Realpolitik suggests not to bet against it or history.Since approving NAFTA, Congress has approved freetrade deals with Columbia, Panama, and Korea byHouse votes of 262 to 167, 300 to 129, and 278 to151, respectively.

Stick a fork in TPP because it’s done. Well, probably.The Farm and Food File is published weekly

OPINION

By RICHARD SIEMERSThe Land Correspondent

If you are old enough to have lifted,tossed, and stacked bales of hay andstraw in your younger days, you mightbe pleased to know that bales smallenough to be handled by hand are fewand far between. Everything seems tohave grown larger these days.

Travis Kleine, however, knows thereis also merit in growing smaller.Kleine has a thriving enterprise inmaking mini-bales. These authenticbales look like they are made withsome future farmer’s toy machine.They measure 18 x 11 x 9 inches andweigh approximately 10 pounds. Hisyoung daughters can handle them.

The barley straw bales are used foralgae control in ponds and water gar-dens. The wheat straw bales are fordecoration.

“I started making mini-bales three tofour years ago,” Kleine said. “First Isold them to Runnings, Bomgaards,garden centers, places like that. Then Icontacted bigger retails and got a con-tract with Menards. Last year it wasfor 5,500 bales; this year they want6,000.”

Retailers sell them especially in thefall and around Halloween for decora-tions. Apparently, the “country” looknever goes out of style.

It takes Kleine most of the summerto produce the 7,000 wheat straw balesthat he sells to retailers. By compari-son, he bales only about 20 barleystraw bales, which he sells directly tocustomers.

“They use them for algae control inponds in place of chemicals,” he said.

He also sells about 80 grass hay andalfalfa mini-bales to folks with smallanimals like rabbits and guinea pigs.Most of these bales are sold in theTwin Cities, including to a guinea pigrescue facility.“Think small”

If you are picturing Kleine pulling achild-sized baler picking up a windrowof straw, that’s not exactly how heworks. It’s possible, he said, but wouldtake a slow-moving hydrostatic trac-tor, so he has a more practicalapproach. He purchases large bales,breaks them up, and feeds them into astationary baler in his yard.

No one mass produces mini-balers.“The Amish in Pennsylvania shop-

built the baler,” Kleine explained.“They chop down a regular baler andmodify the chamber and plunger, andnarrow up the knotters.”

Kleine himself modified a manurespreader to unroll the large roundbales and feed the straw and hay intothe baler.

Basically, then, he’s buying strawand hay and repackaging it?

“Yes,” he said. “That’s the FSA term. Ididn’t qualify for a loan because I don’tgrow the straw. There’s enough incomeoff of it for what we wanted to do, butevidently it’s not (considered to be) anag enterprise. We’re repackaging, simi-lar to a Christmas tree lot.”

He opened a semi-trailer to show hiswork. It was filling up with smallstraw bales, each individually pack-aged in plastic. In the fall, the retailerwill drop off an empty trailer and takethe full one to the distribution center.

While the wheat straw bales peopleuse to decorate their environment arethe big seller, the barley straw baleshave a more beneficial impact on theenvironment, since they are a naturalreplacement for using chemicals tocontrol algae. Kleine’s website has anumber of reports from universitystudies to support their use in algaecontrol in ponds.

“Think small” is not a mantra youoften hear in agriculture these days.Kleine, however, has found that thereis a market for mini-bales, and he’ll bespending another summer reducinglarge bales to the size that fills thatneed.

The best time to haveremoved lead from our envi-ronment was over a centuryago. The danger of lead wasknown to Hippocrates in 400B.C. and Benjamin Franklintalked about a health risk fromlead exposure in 1786. CharlesDickens wrote of lead poisoning in hisbook “Uncommercial Traveler.”

France, Belgium and Austria bannedinterior lead paints in 1909, but it was-n’t until 1978 that the United Statesbanned lead paint. In 2005, the Cen-ters for Disease Control and Preven-tion stated that all non-essential usesof lead should be banned.

Still lead can be found in our homes,and it is still affecting our health, espe-cially our children’s health. Leadremains the most common environ-mental disease in children.

“Childhood lead poisoning is themost common and preventable child-hood health problem in the UnitedStates,” said Dale P. Nystrom, M.D.“Lead is found everywhere.”

A family physician at HawardenRegional Healthcare in Hawarden,Iowa, Nystrom first became aware ofthe lead issue from a question from hisneighbors.

“The neighbors asked me what Iknew about the effect of lead in theenvironment,” said Nystrom. “Notmuch, as it isn’t really taught in med-ical school. But doing the research Ihave learned plenty.”

Since then Nystrom has presentedtalks at the Iowa Academy of FamilyPhysicians meetings on the effect oflead in children.

It is estimated that 310,000 children

are at risk in the UnitedStates. The toxic level or levelof concern is determined by theCDC based on the complica-tions caused by lead, currentlyfive micrograms per deciliter.

Iowa has the highest numberof children per capita affected;one in 16 has high concentra-tions of lead in their blood,

that’s 10 times the national average.“The clinical effects are plenty,” said

Nystrom. “Take IQ for instance. Therecan be up to a seven-point drop in IQwith blood levels of lead up to 10mcg/dl. IQ continues to decrease withhigher lead levels. Just think whatthat means to our children while inschool and in their life’s work. Whodoesn’t wish they had a higher IQ?”

Higher lead levels can also lead todevelopmental delay, which can beseen in language, cognitive, behaviorand physical areas.Health effects

At levels higher than 70 mcg/dl, vom-iting, ataxia, seizures, coma and evendeath can occur. Colicky, vomiting,intermittent pain, constipation, ane-mia, chronic interstitial nephritis canalso be due to prolong exposure to lead.

“It is easy for lead to enter our bodiesand accumulate,” said Nystrom, “butvery slow to leave.”

Lead is absorbed through inhalation,can be ingested or enter through theskin. Lead eventually deposits in thebones where it can stay 20-30 years. Inthe blood its half-life is 20-plus days,meaning it takes more than 20 daysfor the initial exposure to decrease 50percent, then another 20 days todecrease another 50 percent. Evenwhen the lead is gone, the effectsremain.

The only way to tell if a person has ahigh lead level is to have a blood testdone. But that is only accurate if therehas been a recent exposure. There is noway to tell what has accumulated inthe bones or brain.

In Iowa, all children under the age ofsix years should be tested annually.

“If we know there is a problem,” saidNystrom, “we can prevent younger orfuture siblings from lead exposure.”

Homes built before 1940 have an 87percent chance of containing lead; 69percent for homes between 1940 and1959; and 24 percent between 1960and 1978. The major source for lead inhomes is paint, stain, and varnishes.

A certified inspector can check yourhome for lead. Testers are also avail-able at hardware stores. Some areinstant read while others require asample to be sent in.

“When there is a positive reading forlead, renovate carefully,” said Nys-

trom.Specific guidelines need to be fol-

lowed when renovating. The mainobjective is to prevent dust from form-ing that can potentially be inhaled oringested. To learn more about theseguidelines check with your countyhealth department.

Other proactive measures includewashing hands and children’s toysoften. Regularly clean floors, windowsills and other surfaces. Eatinghealthy, low-fat foods, high in iron,calcium and Vitamin C help becausechildren with good diets and regulareating absorb less lead.

“There really is no safe level of leadexposure,” said Nystrom. “Preventingexposure is the only cure. Onceexposed it is too late; the loss of IQ isirreversible.”

Whenever there is anemia, unex-plained colic or abdominal pain, leadtoxicity should be considered. ❖

Lead is all around usHobbyists use lead in their stained glass windows, lead crystal, pottery and low grade pewter

projects. Lead can be found in fishing sinkers and bird shot. Many houses have lead solder in copper pipes, which was banned in 1988. Wheel weights used to

balance tires are solid lead.The natural home remedies of Greta and Azarcon contain as much as 90 percent lead. Lead also

can be found in candy from Mexico and southeast Asia, imported toys or jewelry. Lead is even found in soils. Paint scraped from houses with exterior paint containing lead, ends up

in the soil and stays. The New York Times reported high levels of lead found in eggs raised in thecity possibly due to lead gasoline exhaust and former lead paint usage.

Urban gardeners should be aware of this possible contamination.– Renae Vander Schaaf

In a marketplacedemanding that foodproduction leave asmaller carbon foot-print, the first Mid-west Farm EnergyConference is demon-strating practicalways to use renewable energy andreduce energy costs in crop produc-tion, swine barns and dairy facilities.

The Midwest Farm Energy Confer-ence is June 17-19 at the University ofMinnesota West Central Research andOutreach Center in Morris. MichaelReese, WCROC renewable energy direc-tor, said the conference will show farm-

ers the “nuts and bolts”of solar and windenergy systems inoperation at the center.

“Not only will yousave money on energycosts, produce yourown power and bemore independent,but you will also meet

the emerging market,” said Reese.He expects that farmers will be sur-

prised by the everyday efficienciesavailable that can make the differencebetween making money and losingmoney in today’s tight margins.

Keynote speaker Steve Peterson,director of sourcing sustainability at

General Mills, will address why the car-bon footprint of your farm is importantto the consumer and the marketplace.

“The conference will give producerstools that will help reduce the carbon foot-print of their farm products,” said Reese.

Topics include energy usage in swineand dairy, energy-efficient farm light-ing, incentives, grants and loans forrenewable and energy efficient sys-tems, tour of WCROC’s dairy andenergy systems, as well as the center’srenewable hydrogen and ammoniapilot plant that uses wind energy todrive the process. New technologiesfrom the U of M have made the processto manufacture nitrogen fertilizer

more efficient, said Reese.A second renewable energy tour

includes a bus trip to Riverview Dairy,an 800-head operation in Morris.

Many incentives and rebates for solarenergy exist in Minnesota. With econo-mists on hand to discuss the feasibilityof solar electric systems for livestockbarns, farmers can get a good idea ofwhat will work for them, said Reese.

“You can put a lot of solar on thoseroofs to potentially save energy costs,”he said.

WCROC has converted its dairy to bemore energy efficient. The dairy’s energysystem includes a wind turbine andsolar energy system with a goal of beinga “net zero energy consumer and pro-duce all of the power on site,” Reese said.Swine operation

Lee Johnston, WCROC swine profes-sor and director of operations, is look-ing at ways to drive down the use offossil fuels in hog barns. You can tourthe center’s hog barns equipped withnewly installed solar panels.

“A lot of this is driven by marketssaying they want a lower carbon foot-print on food products,” said Johnston.

ENERGY, from pg. 8“Electricity and fossil fuels are not a huge part of pig

production if you look at the barn, but if you fold inthe crop production for feed, the footprint gets bigger.”

Johnston completed two studies in reducing thenocturnal temperature in their nursery as a way tolower heating fuels and costs.

“You put a weaning pig in there at 18 to 20 days, heneeds a very high temperature in the room. It usu-ally takes a lot of propane to keep the temperatureup,” he said.

Studies showed that if you set the temperatureback by 10 to 15 F and then bring it back up in themorning, a producer could save almost 20 percent onfuel usage. For example, if the barn is heated to 85 Fduring the day, the producer would set back the tem-perature to 70 or 75 F at night.

“We are pretty confident that data is strong,” saidJohnston.

Three other upper Midwest university studiesfound similar results. The data came out ahead ofthe propane crisis a year ago so it was very timely.

In fact, after two weeks of setting the temperatureback at night, the furnaces didn’t run because thepigs were generating so much heat it kept the roomat the target temperature, said Johnston.

“We have leaner genetics and those pigs tend toproduce more body heat,” he said.

Johnston said producers watch their pigs closely toset a target temperature. If the pigs are piling on topof each other, the pigs are cold. At night, pigs “spoon,”laying side-by-side to stay warm. In the morning,pigs need the temperature higher so they can becomfortable and active.

With advancements in barn controllers, producerscan program the heating system to set the tempera-

ture back at night and up in the morning. Controlstrategies for livestock buildings will be discussed atthe conference.

While programmable controllers are at the highend, Johnston said it may be cost effective for high

volume barns. For smaller operations, it may be costeffective when the old controller wears out.

He is also monitoring electrical and heating fueluse on six commercial barns for a year to generatefigures on what farms are using. ❖

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

Cover crops and conservation tillage madethe biggest jump in progress when the U.S.Department of Agriculture and NaturalResources Conservation Service made soilhealth a national initiative this year.

After 18 years in the field, Jodi DeJong-Hughes can attest to that. She is the soilsspecialist at the University of MinnesotaExtension Service’s Willmar regional office.

DeJong-Hughes also credits the advent ofRoundup as being a major contributor to conserva-tion. One reason for tilling was to get rid of weeds.

“They no longer had to worry about weeds sotillage and cultivation backed off considerably. Nowfarmers have time to talk about conservation and totry some different strategies,” she said.

DeJong-Hughes teaches producers the benefits ofminimum tillage and fall-seeded cover crops torebuild soil structure, noting that some area pro-ducers are doing really well in their conservationpractices.

“If you reduce tillage, structure starts buildingagain,” she said. “With erosion we’re kind of at thewhim of Mother Nature. Our open winter with littlesnow cover produced lots of wind erosion this win-ter and early spring.”

Snow cover ordinarily protects Minnesota soilsbut without snow, tillage systems which leave cropresidue in place are a primary strategy for thwart-

ing wind and water erosion. So while farm-ers are watching their corn and beans comeup, DeJong-Hughes asks: How is next win-ter going to be if we continue to do so muchfall tillage?

“If you assume there may not be a lot ofcoverage over our soils next winter, mini-mum tillage this fall would definitely help,”she said.

Today’s ag economy with $3 corn is a fac-tor in the shift to conservation farming strategies,said DeJong-Hughes.

“When fuel is expensive, or nutrients are expensiveand commodity prices are down, producers are look-ing at ways to do less passes across every acre,” shesaid, “and doing shallower tillage, too, because thedeeper you go, the more fuel it takes and the morewear and tear on your equipment.”Cover crops

Farmers are also buying into the strategy of latesummer and early fall seeding of cover crops.

“I get lots of questions on that topic everywhere Igo,” DeJong-Hughes said. “We’ve talked with DelMonte, which contracts with farmers for peas andsweet corn. They tell us they’re now up to 50 percentuse of cover crops.

“Sugar beet growers, too, are big users of covercrops — oats or wheat seeded just ahead of plantingof the sugar beets to reduce wind damage to thenewly emerging sugar beet plants.”

When it comes to cover crops, the experts recom-mend a cocktail approach meaning a large variety,she said.

“I think they should just get their foot wet by try-ing just a single choice, such as rye or oats,” saidDeJong-Hughes. “I like to start them off with some-thing that doesn’t over winter so they don’t need todo a spray out in the spring. Oats are good but ryecovers quickly; also consider tillage radish.”

When to seed is a matter for debate, and Extensionis working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’sRisk Management Agency on insurance coverage.

“You cannot hurt your primary crop so we’re look-ing at around V8 growth stage in corn,” she said.“Aerial application can work if you have some rainshortly after the fly-on. I like to see some seed-to-soilcontact, otherwise you’re just out there feeding therodents and bugs.”

High-boy Hagies are being retrofitted to seed covercrops, and she added, “so, too, are farmers — wherethere’s a will, there’s a way”

DeJong-Hughes suggested robots could walk thefields while interseeding cover crops.

She also advocates for more diversity in our farm-ing landscape.

“If you want to have more management options forvariable weather, variable weed control issues, variablemarketing, then crop diversity is key,” she said. “Cropdiversity also helps build soil structure but if you don’thave a market that’s where we get shot down.”

Jodi DeJong-Hughes was interviewed at Earth Dayat Prairie Woods Environmental Learning Center inSpicer, Minn. She may be reached [email protected] or visit www.extension.umn.edu/agriculture/tillage for more information. ❖

By CAROLYN VAN LOHThe Land Correspondent

When my husband, Dave, and I were planning atrip to visit his brother Paul and sister-in-law Susanin southern Brazil, I suggested we tour a farm. Likeall farmers, we are interested in learning how farm-ers in other countries produce their crops.

Paul and Susan live in Curitiba, capital of the stateof Parana, where he pastors a church. Nercy and herhusband, Adir, who attend that church, arranged avisit for Feb. 20-21 with Nercy’s cousin Ednir and hiswife Matilde Pedroso who live near Reserva, popula-tion 32,000. The city celebrates its heritage eachyear on March 26 with the theme “tomato capital ofParana.” This year marks the city’s 94th year as anindependent municipality.

Adir led the way in his Chevy S-10 pickup, similarto a Chevy Colorado in the states. His passengerswere Nercy, their daughter Tatiane, her husbandLui, and son Murillo. We rode with Paul and Susanin their PT Cruiser. The three-hour drive west intothe interior of Parana took us from Curitiba citystreets to a four-lane toll road, two-lane highways,and narrow country roads. Large fields of corn andsoybeans in varying stages of development stretchedacross rolling hills that reminded us of Tennessee.We saw a combine harvesting corn in one field, whileother fields were in varying stages of maturity. Somesoybean fields were nearly ready to harvest, but oth-ers were still green.

It was dark when we arrived at the Pedroso’shome. More than a dozen family members gatheredto spend the evening with us four Americans. Afterindulging in an abundance of food that includedBrazilian beans and rice, the family did what fami-lies do when they get together: talk and enjoy eachother’s company. Five-year-old Murillo sucked on hispacifier while playing an electronic device when hewasn’t running around with cousins.

I’m thankful Paul grew up on a farm so he under-stood the nature of questions we asked him to trans-late into Portuguese as we got acquainted withMiguel Taborda, who farms 500 hectares (about1,000 acres), what he said was a medium-size farm.His wife, Cristina, is a niece of Ednir. As the young

farmer answered our questions, he looked puzzledone time because Paul repeated the question in Eng-lish instead of translating. We slowly learned abouttypical farming practices in central Parana. Miguelhad his three combines and other harvesting equip-ment all ready to go when the rainy weather let up.

After a short night’s rest in the Pedroso’s home, weate a typical breakfast of bread, cheese and meatwith our sweet strong coffee. We partially filled thecup with coffee before adding warm milk. Knowinghow much Susan and I liked the rice cake dessertserved the previous evening, the hostess served theleftover dessert for breakfast.

Our tour started in Reserva at the “LoJa Do 1,50”store owned by Ednir. We likened it to a dollar storeor similar discount store that carries numerous Chi-nese products.

From there, we visited a hobby farm where thefamily kept 20 sows to raise piglets for roasting on aspit. Wild pigs are a problem for Brazilian farmers

just as timberwolves cause problems for northernMinnesota farmers. A domestic sow (porco) crossedwith a wild boar (javali) produces a javaporco. Awild boar (captured in a hunting cage) produces bet-ter quality meat with less fat.

Visiting Miguel’s farm site was like the maincourse of a banquet. Because of wet fields, he wasable to spend time answering our questions on asunny morning. He uses a narrow-row precision no-till planter with a bulk fertilizer box and individualseed boxes. Two older John Deere combines and anewer John Deere rotary combine stood ready forharvest. You could tell he was partial to green com-bines, but he didn’t mind having red and blue trac-tors — New Holland and Case — to do the otherfarm work.

BRAZIL, from pg. 11Two large straight trucks haul the

grain to a Cargill, Bunge or a co-op ele-vator. It is uncommon to see a tractorwith wagons at the elevator because ofthe field’s distance from the facility.When trucks are away from the field,two transfer wagons hold the grain.

Corn is planted in August and issometimes harvested at 25 percentmoisture in February so the next crop

can be planted. This year may be differ-ent because of frequent rains after ourvisit. Soybeans are planted in Octoberand harvested in March and April.Miguel rotates soybeans, edible beans,corn and wheat. When we walked into asoybean field for a photo, we noticed thatthe plants were loaded with four-beanpods. Dave estimated a 100-bushel-per-acre yield at that spot of the field.

Miguel and his sister both studiedagronomy at nearby University of Ponto

Grossa. Family members work togetherto harvest their fields before Miguelbegins custom combining for neighbors.

We discovered that Brazilian farm-ers fertilize and provide nutrients forgrowing crops in ways similar to ours,and their expected yields are similar.There is a limited program for federalcrop insurance, but it’s administeredon a first-come-first-served basis.Miguel forward contracts a portion ofthe expected crop every month.

We experienced gracious rural hospi-tality and learned much about farmpractices during our less than 24-hourvisit to Miguel’s farm. It was amazingthe wealth of information we acquiredeven though we couldn’t speak directlyto each other.

The Pulks Wannaska, Minn.

Andy Pulk is playing the waitinggame, with sunflowers still needingto be planted. He’s waiting for theground to finally dry out from overfour inches of rain, two inches ofthat falling on May 7. “I’m hoping this weekendwe can start doing some field work,” Pulk toldThe Land on May 21. With that much rain, hesaid “all the rivers went to basically flood stage.”

There was also “some overland flooding(but) the river levels are starting to level offand drop,” said Pulk. On the evening of May18, the temperature dropped all the way to27 F; the following morning the farm hadsome snow. “We haven’t had any emergenceyet,” he said, but “by this weekend we’ll see

some emergence.” With crops still needing to beplanted and those that are planted still needingto emerge, a good forecast is much needed —“Hopefully the weather straightens out.”

The Lees McIntosh, Minn.

With three inches of rain inabout a week, Joan Lee is readyto get back in the field. On May21 she was looking to get somesoybeans planted; she’ll beplanting both organic and conventional beans thisyear. While Lee still has beans to plant, she said

that “most farmers around here have been donefor quite a while.” Once beans are in theground, her focus will be on hay — “The firstpart of June, we’ll be able to hay organicallyagain.” Three years ago a co-op accidentallysprayed their organic field, and it takes threeyears to get it certified again. “Seems like

things are going pretty well,” Lee said, of thingsoverall. “Just waiting for the sun and warmth now.”

The Haarstads Rothsay, Minn.

The rain was abundant on the Haarstad farmthese past two weeks. “Four to five inches fell inthe past two weeks or so,” Lee Haarstad toldThe Land on May 22. Even with that amount ofmoisture, the field conditions “were not as badas I’d thought it would be,” he said. Haarstad is backin the field custom spraying for a neighbor for wheatand spraying a few acres of no-till beans; he hatesdandelions. He said he would start side dressing corn

that night or the next morning.Along with wet weather, the cropshad to endure frost. “We had somefrost damage on corn andsoybeans,” said Haarstad. “Theytook a pretty good burning.” He’sconcerned that it will hurt the stand,

which could possibly hurt the yield, but doesn’tforesee any replant. With cold weather hopefully athing of the past, he said the bottom line is that hiscrops “need more sunshine.”

The Filzens Renville, Minn.

Planting continues for Dale Filzen. WhenThe Land spoke with Filzen on May 21 hewas going to begin planting navy beans.“We had about three inches (of rain) inabout a week,” he said, but with the fieldsdrying out he’d be spraying sugar beets the nextday. The crops in the ground are showing the

effects of the rain and wind. “Thecorn looks kind of wind-torn andyellow,” said Filzen, but warmerweather “should straighten thingsout.” Overall, he said most of thecorn has good stand and thesoybeans are “looking pretty good.”

The sugar beets are “kind of torn up from thewind,” Filzen said, but still “look decent.”

The ThorpesCanby, Minn.

Crops are growing and the rainis falling on the Thorpe farm. TheLand spoke with Nathan Thorpeon May 14 in the middle of allthat precipitation. The previousfew days’ rainfall totalled two and a half inches,with more in the forecast. “Emergence is looking

good; my crop is all out of the ground,” Thorpesaid of his corn, even though all of the rain hadmade it a little tough-looking. He noted that“some sunshine will cure that,” but he’d alsoobserved “lots of wind damage on the corn.”Thorpe expects that “probably in about a weekwe’ll be out spraying,” and haying will likely be

done around Memorial Day weekend. “It’s been agood start to the growing season,” he said.

The PagelsWinthrop, Minn.

Rain has been a constant force on DelaynePagel’s farm since Mother’s Day. “It’s wet,”he said, reporting that four inches of rain hadfallen between May 10 and 15. All of thatmoisture is leading to some yellowing of thecorn. The wind has been a factor as well; “There’ssome wind damage on the corn,” he said.

Meanwhile the soybeans are“starting to emerge.” Eventhough they’ve had quite a bit ofrain, Pagel said that he still has“tiles that aren’t running.” Henoted that this had been “thefastest spring we went through for

planting.” Pagel would now like to request “someheat and sunshine” to aid the emerging crops.

The MarblesMapleton, Minn.

When The Land spoke withHarlan Marble on May 14 he wasobserving “nice, slow, steadyrain” on his farm. His crops wereall in by May 4 so he was “busycleaning equipment and putting it away.” He washappy to be working on equipment in his dry shop;

“it’s not a bad place to work.” Along with gettingthe crop in the ground there was excitement atthe Marble farm as 3,000 feeder pigs had justbeen delivered. It’s not all work and no play forMarble — he was looking forward to MemorialDay weekend, when he and his family head totheir lake place near Le Center, Minn. He hoped

warmer weather would make that family weekend asuccess, and give the crops a little boost to boot.

The HeusinkveldsWykoff, Minn.

“The crops look good, just yellow,” NateHeusinkveld reported on May 14. Witharound three and a half inches of rain sincethe week before, he noted that they’re“sitting good for moisture.” Heusinkveldestimated that five percent of the corn still needs

to be planted in his area. He’sdone planting, though, and islooking ahead to “getting ready forthe first crop of hay aroundMemorial Day.” Warm weather isnow in demand. “The hay cropneeds heat. ... I think heat is

probably the biggest thing now,” he said.

The KempsSibley, Iowa

Timing was perfect for BrianKemp — He got done plantingsoybeans on May 9 and then therain came. “Very nice rains” to

be exact. When The Land spoke with Kemp onMay 14, he noted that “the early planted cornis looking really good, (but) it does need somesunshine.” With the crops in the ground andrain falling, Kemp said his “next push will bepost-emerge corn and soybeans spraying.”

The Froemmings Garfield, Minn.

On May 21 Rodney Froemmingreported that it had rained 3.4inches over the previous weekend.More rain was forecasted, pushingback when Froemming can get backin the field and finish planting soybeans. “The cropsgot hit by frost Monday night and Tuesday (but) the

beans look like they’ll be OK,” he said. “Cornis pretty yellow and there’s certainly damageon it.” Once Froemming can get back in thefield, he estimated it would take two days tofinish planting. He said he’s normally balingMemorial Day weekend, but with the wetweather expects to be about a week to 10 days

behind. Froemming hoped to know more on how thefrost had affected the crops in a few days.

ing May 22.CORN — Another week of limited news for the corn

market. Any support was gleaned from the wheatmarket, which rallied on concerns of hard red winterquality due to excessive rainmainly in Texas and Oklahoma. Aweak close heading into the longMemorial Day weekend came atthe hands of a surge higher in theU.S. dollar and profit-taking.Corn movement picked up asbushels headed to elevators andethanol plants, but selling wasstill described as limited.

The crop has gone into theground in a timely fashion and, ingeneral, weather and weatherforecasts have been kind to cropdevelopment. Corn planting isexpected to hit 90-92 percent by May 24 when theaverage is 88 percent complete. After the MemorialDay holiday, we’ll get our first look at crop ratings forthe year. The five-year average first rating is 69 per-cent good to excellent. The highest first rating was in1986 at 81 percent good to excellent and last year westarted out at 76 percent good to excellent.

China imported 605.4 million metric tons of drieddistillers’ grains in April, the most in the last sevenmonths. This is impressive, but it’s 1.3 percent lessthan a year ago. From January through April 2015,China’s DDG imports are down 50 percent from ayear ago. For corn, China imported 140,000.8 metrictons in April, up 53.3 percent from a year ago.Ukraine has captured 85 percent of China’s cornimports in the first four months of 2015. There are

Grain AnglesWhat’s my lender

looking for? Among all of the things that grain producers have

to think about while planting this year’s crop, here’sone more thing to contemplate — what is my lenderlooking for when he is making a loan to me?

AgStar has many things it considers when a clientapplies for a loan. Questionsused to evaluate an applicant’scharacter range from subjectivequestions about their commu-nity involvement to more objec-tive considerations, such as pay-ment history.

Below are five of the top areasAgStar considers. Includedwithin each area are questionsthat we often ask as a lender toevaluate each area. In prepara-tion for working with a lender,think through these questions toidentify what areas you mightneed to strengthen to be considered an ideal candi-date.

1. Character• This can be subjective, such as how are you

viewed in the community? Are you a good neighbor?Are you active in the community in a positive way?

• Do you have good communication skills?• Does your family have a good history with the

lending institution?• Character can also be measured by your repay-

ment history. Do you pay your obligations on time asagreed? Lending institutions use a credit bureauscore to assess how you deal with your differentcreditors. A low credit bureau score (less than 700)may indicate late payments, disputes, or too manyaccounts. A good credit bureau score (700-800) is an

Livestock AnglesCattle marketupredictable

Unpredictability is the only way to describe thelivestock markets these days. The cattle market hasespecially been one that has been the most unpre-dictable while the hog market appears to be the moresteady in finding direction at the present time.

The cash cattle market and thefutures market most definitelyhave different ideas on the cur-rent and future direction of livecattle prices. This continues toexpress the difference betweensupply and demand outlooks intothe next several months. The cur-rent situation is that there contin-ues to be a tight supply of cattle,while the demand for beef contin-ues to shrink as the price elevates.

Packers have continued to showreluctance in being aggressive inacquiring live inventory in theopen market as evidenced in the continual late weekpurchases. Packer margins are tight at times, despitethe fact that the beef cutout is at all-time highs. Partof the problem is the bird flu epidemic has put retail-ers in a position to buy more red meat to replace thetightening availability of poultry.

The weight of cattle remains well above last yearwhich is offsetting the fewer numbers of animals.This, in turn, has made up in tonnage of beef pro-duced to nearly equal last year’s production. There-fore, as demand shrinks because of the high price ofbeef, and numbers once again begin to increase, cat-tle prices are not likely to advance but remain atthese levels or possibly even decline. Although thebird flu epidemic may hold prices in the near term,the high in live cattle prices made last October look

NYSTROM, from pg. 15rumors that China may toughen theapproval process for genetically modi-fied organism corn varieties. Withheavy sales of U.S. sorghum intoChina this year, there is chatter thatmore stringent inspection of importsby China may slow down this busi-ness. China is projected to import ninemmt of sorghum this year with mostof it coming from the United States.

Corn exports continue to be some-what of a good surprise. Old crop saleswere 32 million bushels, bringing totalcommitments to nearly 1.7 billionbushels. The U.S. Department of Agri-culture is projecting exports of 1.825billion for the year. However, totalyear on year sales are running six per-cent behind last year when the USDAis forecasting a 4.7 percent decline. Westill have to wonder if the USDA was-n’t premature in raising exports 25million on the last update. Interesting,and depressing, that new crop corn

sales are on par withnew crop sorghum sales.Growers are believed tobe way behind this year on pricing newcrop bushels, which goes along withpoor new crop export sales.

Producers will be looking for ralliesto play catch up, or will old cropbushels be carried into new crop at ahigher percentage rate than usual? Ifso, new crop bushels may be pushedinto the pipeline during harvest. Astudy done by the University of Illinoissuggests that the 166.8 bushels peracre yield estimate used by the USDAfor 2015-16 is realistic, and could be 1-2 bu./acre low. Without a negativeweather event, it may be difficult tobuild a bullish scenario this summer.

The U.S. dollar index was sharplyhigher this week, up nearly three per-cent for the week, on suggestions theinterest rate may yet be raised thisyear. Comments by Federal ReserveChairman Janet Yellen indicated that

she expects interestrates to increase this

year if the economymeets forecasts.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans set newcontract lows as we headed into thelong weekend as growing and plantingconditions improve and South Americaincreases their crop estimates. One lin-gering supportive factor is the strike inArgentina. The crushing plant workersare still on strike after most everyoneelse settled with a 27 percent wageincrease earlier in the week.Argentina’s largest union, whichincludes dockworkers at the Rosarioport, is now threatening to strike June1 if an agreement is not reached. Ifthey strike, trucks and trains will bestopped from delivering into Rosario,which accounts for 80 percent ofArgentina’s grain and soy exports. Avessel also ran aground in Argentinathis week due to low water, which sug-gests monitoring to determine if it willcause loading delays.

China’s meal basis was lower thisweek and Brazil’s bean basis was

down. U.S. numbers were mixed.China’s crush margins are moving intothe red. U.S. weekly export sales werein line with estimates for old crop anddisappointing for new crop. Old cropsales were 6.1 million bushels and weonly need 1.5 million bushels per weekto hit the USDA 1.8 billion bushelexport forecast. Total old crop commit-ments stand at 1.8 billion bushels, butthere will be some rollover into newcrop. The rollover usually averagesaround 50-60 million bushels. Newcrop sales commitments are only 165million bushels compared to 315 mil-lion bushels on the books last year atthis time.

Estimates for South American pro-duction continue to rise. The Argentinegovernment raised their estimate by 1mmt from 59 mmt to 60 mmt. TheUSDA’s latest number was 58.5 mmt.In Brazil, Agroconsult bumped up itssoybean estimate slightly from 95.8mmt to 96.1 mmt. U.S. soybean plant-ing was 45 percent complete as of May17 and is expected to jump to 60-65percent by May 24. ❖� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �

TEALE, from pg. 15to be a major top in the cattle market.

The hog market has continued torecover for the lows made back inMarch as the decrease in market-readyhogs has declined over the past fewmonths. This decrease in numbers withthe continued good demand for pork

aided in the currentrally in hog prices.

With the bird flu out-break, the concern over poultry has putmore emphasis on red meat by theretailers. This has kept good demandfor pork as that substitute proteinsource over the past few weeks.

With the buying forMemorial Day and

Independence Daywinding down, the possibility of pack-ers meeting all of their productionneeds for those holidays met, pricesmay begin to slip. From a seasonalstandpoint, the hog market on average

finds a high point in this time frame.Without further surprises regardingthe supplies of pork, beef or poultry,the possibility of that seasonal highmay likely happen in the near future.

Producers should stay on top ofmarket conditions and protect inven-tories when given the opportunity. ❖

This column was writtenfor the marketing week end-ing May 22.

Improving weather in thespring flush and moderatefeed prices is keeping U.S.milk production aboveyear-ago levels. Prelimi-nary data in this week’sApril Milk Productionreport estimates output inthe top 23 producing statesat 16.6 billion pounds,up 1.7 percent fromApril 2014. The 50-state total, at 17.8 bil-lion pounds, was also up 1.7 percent.Revisions added 30 million pounds tothe original March 23-state estimate,now reported at 16.9 billion pounds,up 1.3 percent from 2014.

April cow numbers in the 23 states,at 8.62 million head, were up 2,000head from March and 77,000 morethan a year ago. April output per cow

in the 23 states averaged1,928 pounds, up 16 poundsfrom April 2014, and thehighest production per cowfor the month of April sincethe 23 state series began in2003.

Tuesday’s Global DairyTrade auction saw theweighted average for allproducts offered drop 2.2

percent, following a 3.5percent decline in theMay 5 event. This is the

fifth consecutive sessionof loss.

Only two products offered saw gains;buttermilk powder was up 3.2 percent,following a 14 percent plunge in theMay 5 event, and lactose inched 0.9percent higher, which was not offeredin the last event.

■

The U.S. Department of Agricultureannounced the June Federal orderClass I base milk price Wednesday at$16.14 per hundredweight, up 31 centsfrom May but $6.72 below June 2014,and equates to about $1.39 per gallon.The six month average stands at$16.31, down from $23.02 in 2014National Dairy Products Sales Reportand compares to $18.22 in 2013.

The NDPSR-surveyed butter priceaverage used to calculate the Class Ivalue was $1.8462 per pound, up 10.8cents from May. Nonfat dry milk aver-aged 94.89 cents per pound, down 2.2cents. The cheese price average was$1.6520, up 3.8 cents, and dry wheyaveraged 44.43 cents per pound, down1.6 cents.

Cash dairy prices at the ChicagoMercantile Exchange entered theMemorial Day Weekend relativelystrong as product, particularly cheese,made its way to Chicago. Block Ched-dar cheese closed Friday at $1.65 perpound, up 3 cents on the week, thehighest level since Dec. 4, 2014, but 37cents below a year ago. The Cheddarbarrels rolled out the week at $1.62,down a quarter-cent and 40 centsbelow a year ago. Thirteen cars of blockand 19 of barrel traded hands on theweek. The NDPSR-surveyed U.S. aver-age block price hit $1.6271, up 1.4cents, and the barrels averaged$1.6669, up 0.1 cent.

Milk volumes being utilized by manyMidwest cheese plants have reached alltime high levels for this year, even upfrom recent weeks which have hadhigh volumes, reports Dairy MarketNews. In the Central region and Wis-consin in particular, the volume of milkreaching cheese plants has resultedsome running seven days a week everyother week to keep up.

Surplus milk was being shoppedaround at prices reaching $4.00 belowClass midweek and $5.00 below Classover the holiday weekend. Surplusmilk is already being shopped for deliv-ery in June, also $5.00 under Class formultiple loads.

Some of the surplus milk is resultingnot only from the flush, but from theending of school year fluid milk con-tracts, which leaves processors withmilk to find other customers for. Thismay counterbalance the impact oncheese plant milk availability of anydecline in milk production in comingweeks. In part of the region, surplusmilk is reportedly being dumpedbecause no buyers can be found,

according to Dairy Market News.■

In politics, the U.S. Dairy ExportCouncil and the National Milk Produc-ers Federation warned this week in ajoint press release that “Americandairy products headed to Canada andMexico could face stiffer tariffs andultimately, reach fewer foreign cus-tomers unless Congress repeals Coun-try of Origin Labeling requirements formeat products that violate interna-tional trade rules.”

They spell out that “Under the WorldTrade Organization ruling announcedMay 18, “Canada and Mexico are enti-tled to retaliate against U.S. exports,and that could well include higher tar-iffs on U.S. dairy products,” said JimMulhern, NMPF president and CEO.He noted that Canada has already indi-cated it will target the U.S. dairy indus-try, while Mexico retaliated against U.S.dairy products in a past NAFTA findingagainst the United States.

“America’s dairy farmers should notsuffer collateral damage as a conse-quence of our COOL policy. The U.S.government needs to rectify this situa-tion before we lose any export cus-tomers,” Mulhern said.

“Mexico is our largest export market,and Canada is also a significant desti-nation for U.S. dairy products,” saidTom Suber, president of USDEC. “At atime of softer global dairy demand, weneed to be focused on ensuring we keepexports moving and doing all we can toavoid new roadblocks from being put inour exporters’ paths.”

The World Trade Organization willfinalize by the end of May the recentdecision faulting U.S. COOL require-ments, after which Canada and Mexicocan formally request permission toretaliate against the United States.

■

USDA’s monthly Livestock, Dairy, andPoultry Outlook, issued May 12, offeredits first preview of 2016. The Outlookreported that milk production waslower than expected for the first quar-ter of 2015. Milk cow numbers wererevised downward to 9.306 million headfor both January and February.

Feed price forecasts for 2015-16 areexpected to be: $3.20-$3.80 per bushelfor corn and $305-$345 per short tonfor soybean meal.

Double Fern Leaf Peony isthe earliest bloomer of thepeonies and is usually showingoff its lipstick red inflorescenceby Memorial Day.

The plants resemble blood-shot green eyeballs when theyemerge in the spring. Thefoliage is different from thefamiliar garden peonies. It isfeathery and looks just like theleaves of cosmos plants.

An established clump canproduce 30 or more blossomsand each develops from a single stem giving the illu-sion of a frilly scarlet bouquet. It is a rare gem of aplant and is expensive and somewhat hard to find. Itis difficult to propagate and slow to reach bloomingsize so many nurseries don’t bother growing it. Theplant is shorter than regular peonies growing only15 to 20 inches tall.

Once established Fern Leaf Peonies are incrediblyhardy and will last for years. Our clump is 15 yearsold and I divided it for the first time last fall. Thetubers resemble large garlic cloves in size and areeasy to separate.

Early spring or fall is a good time to divide them.In fall it should be done as the leaves are going dor-mant. Pick a garden spot that will get at least sixhours of sun a day. It is important to have the top ofthe roots only 1.5 to 2 inches below the soil surface.They will not bloom if planted too deeply. Gooddrainage is also essential. It is wise to remove thefoliage in the fall after the first hard frost to elimi-nate disease that might overwinter.

I shared some tubers with my gardening friends lastspring and several said they thought they had killedthe plant because the foliage turned brown. It is notunusual for the tuber to be dormant in the ground foran entire season and then spring to life. So mark thespot where it was planted and don’t disturb that site.

My grandmother said “pinies” when talking aboutpeony plants. Depending upon the area of the coun-try pronunciation varies. Pee-oh-nee is a commonlyheard pronunciation, pee-a-nee is also consideredcorrect. Many folks have fond memories of theirgrandmother’s peonies. Chances are good thatdecades later those plants are still blooming.

Peonies are considered a symbol of remembrance andare frequently planted in cemeteries since they are solong-lived. Fern Leaf Peony (Paeonia tenuifolia) is agem of a plant because of its rarity, unique beauty andlongevity. It blooms around Memorial Day when manyother herbaceous perennials are not even in bud yet.

Peonies thrive in our cold north and need winterdormancy to flourish. Southern gardeners look withenvy at our peonies. If you have gardening friendswilling to share some of these plants by all meansaccept them. If you would like to grow Fern LeafPeonies and don’t know where to buy them, send mean e-mail and I will reply with some sources thathave them for sale.

The Skatin’ Place,St. Cloud, Minn.

It’s 7:30 p.m. on a warm early sum-mer Saturday evening at the Skatin’Place on St. Cloud’s south side.

The party room is buzzing with parentsand children of various ages — some onskates, others not. A group of teenagershas started a laser tag game and a coupleof boy-girl pairs are in the game arcadetrying their luck. Ann, the Saturdaymanager, is serving up soft drinks to kidson skates who swish or wobble away,depending on skating abilities.

“It used to be that you could just haveskating for the kids,” Ann said, “butnow you have to have a lot of differentactivities to keep their attention.”

The Skatin’ Place has lots to do butthe heart of a roller rink is still the bigskating space. Tonight is retro-night sothere are 20-some people of all agesand abilities swirling about undermulti-colored flashing disco lights tothe beat of ’70s and ’80s music. There’seven two little girls rolling carefullyalong the edge of the rink. Their head-bands have flashing red-green-yellowlights and there’s a small boy withpink flashing sunglasses. There arealso a few highly skilled elders in bell-bottoms and paisley shirts skatingbackwards and doing fancy foot work.

In an oval in the rink’s center is

Brent Lenz, who has been skating formost of his 50-some years. He’s doingsome highly complicated maneuvers tosome favorite dance tunes.

“I’ve been coming here since ’88,”said Lenz, who drives 60 miles to get toSt. Cloud. “My mom was a roller skaterand she took me skating at the DreamLand in Long Prairie when I was fiveyears old. Now it’s in my blood.”

Lenz learned to skate, fell in love,found a mentor, and even inventedsome roller skate improvements at theDream Land. When they tore it downit broke his heart.

Now he skates regularly at theSkatin’ Place. The scene hasn’tchanged much over the decades. Thereare toddlers, teenagers and older peo-ple skating or learning to skate on theglistening floor. Skating has alwaysbeen an intensely personal but alsopublic experience. Skaters get wrappedup in their world of movement, music,and lights just feet away from otherskaters in their own world. There maybe more activities but the basicshaven’t changed.

“It’s fun,” Ann said. “You should try it.”Visit www.saintcloudskatinplace.com
