Producers are happy to be nearing the end of the 2013 growingseason. Check out the latest “From the Fields” reports on Page 8A.

A couple of years ago I wrote a “LandMinds” column about my experiencereturning to my family’s farm to help withthe corn harvest. It was pretty wellreceived — my mom put it on her fridge— but, looking back, it was incomplete.

With the 2013 growing season wrappingup, and another three grueling days backon the home farm under my belt, I felt itwas time to dust off the old column andround ’er up to an even ten rules ...

“Everything I know, I learned from driv-ing a grain cart” ~ The Land, Oct. 28, 2011

I grew up on a farm, but I’m definitelynot a farmer. My friends and family know I’mnowhere near smart enough, skilled enough or toughenough to be a farmer. Thus, I’m in journalism.

When I need an extra dose of smarts, or humility, Ihead back to the home farm. My most recent visit —a six-day, seven-night vacation to the beautiful,rolling Loess Hills of western Iowa — coincided withthe tail end of corn harvest.

At harvest time, hired hands who meet modest com-petency requirements get put behind the wheel of atractor and grain cart. As I drove that cart here andthere and everywhere, I kept a small spiral notebookto jot down the sage bits of wisdom I picked up on.

The following is what I learned.Rule No. 1: The combine operator is alwaysright

My brother Jeff (the combine operator) made thisknown from the start. Without a clearly established

chain of command, and absolute fealty tothe commander, there is chaos. That’swhat Jeff said, anyway.Rule No. 2: Put the corn in the truck,not on the ground

This is the only rule that is actually some-what flexible. My dad informed me that ifpreferred, I was certainly welcome to grab ashovel and hand-scoop each cart-full of cornoff the ground and into the truck.Rule No. 3: The early bird gets thepush-button transmission, tape deck

and cup holderIt can be tough to force yourself out of

bed on a crisp autumn morning. But whenthe alternative means you’re stuck all day in a tractorwithout access to even the basics of modern comfort,you’ll soon realize the importance of such extra effort.Rule No. 4: Don’t try to guess where the combineoperator wants you to be; you will be wrong

A common rookie mistake. The young grain cart oper-ator thinks to him/herself, “The combine is just finish-ing that row, so that means he’ll come back around onthe next terrace down and I should meet him there.”

Wrong.Did you plant this field? Did you spray this field?

Do you know precisely the lay of every acre in thisfield? No? Then I guarantee you, you will not be inthe right spot.Rule No. 5: Hurry up and wait

This lesson is not unique to grain cart operators, or

Everything I know, and then some

MINDS, from pg. 2Aeven farming, but that doesn’t make it any lessimportant. Foolish is he who does not bring a novel,or magazine, or sudoku puzzle book, or iPod, orsmartphone. You will need to bring the cart here.

NOW. And yet you may need to sit therepatiently for half an hour as the combinenavigates the rows. That’s just the way it is.Rule No. 6: Being fired is not an option

This is also known as the “the beatings will con-

tinue until morale improves” rule.Some disgruntled grain cart operators

may get the big idea that if they screwsomething up with precisely the right amount offaux-incompetence, they’ll be taken off the grain cartcrew and given a more ... intellectually stimulatingrole. This does not work. If you make a mess, you willclean it up and be sent right back out again. Do nottry to fight this rule; you’ll only make things tougherfor yourself later.Rule No. 7: Never leave your lunch in the othertractor

Let nothing tear you asunder from your lunchsack. Carry a backpack with you all day long if youhave to, but do not let your lunch out of your sight.Rule No. 8: Something doesn’t work? Turn itoff, turn it back on. Still broke? Do it again.

The Diagnostics for Dummies rule. There will betimes when you are in the southwest 40 acres, andthe combine operator (a.k.a. boss) is in the northeast40, and something goes wrong with your machine.Do not panic. Just turn everything off, wait 30 sec-onds, then turn it all back on again.

If this does not work after three or so repetitions,you probably seriously wrecked something andyou’re about to be fired.

■

OK, so those were the original eight rules. For therecord, they’re all still 100 percent true and enforced.But for this old farm-kid-turned-office-jockey whoonly gets behind the wheel of a tractor a few days ayear, I found there are at least two additional rulesto keep in mind ...Rule No. 9: Safety first

Farming is a very dangerous business, and everyprecaution should be made to ensure everyone’ssafety and well-being around the multitude of rap-idly rotating PTO shafts, auger screws and drivebelts, among the many hazardous situations thatpresent themselves on a regular basis on a farm.

For example, hypothetically, one thing you wouldwant to avoid is slipping while climbing out of a trac-tor cab, stumbling backwards several feet, trippingover a gravity wagon hitch, then falling unceremoni-ously on your butt.

That would be mildly bruising and pretty embar-rassing for you. Hypothetically.Rule No. 10: If you don’t know what you’re fid-dling with, stop fiddling with it

Sure, the boss says he wants you to be proactiveand just take care of things without bugging himwith dumb questions left and right, but when you doexactly that and there’s hydraulic fluid pouring outeverywhere for what seems like five minutes becauseyou forgot about how the couplers have tiny shutofflevers next to them that you’re supposed to flipbefore yanking hoses out, whose fault is that?

Yours. It’s your fault.And no, you’re still not fired. Now grab a roll of

shop rags and clean up that mess, ya big dummy.Tom Royer is assistant editor of The Land. He may

Raising soybeans looks simple. Farm-ers plant the seeds and the plants grow,then we harvest the mature soybeansand take them to elevators for processing. But anysoybean farmer will tell you that growing this crop ismuch more difficult than it looks. There’s soil healthto contend with, as well as pests and diseases. And,of course, there’s the weather.

At first glance, the current soybean-pricing systemseems easy to understand, too. U.S. soybean farmersget paid by the bushel atthe elevator. But it’s actu-ally much more compli-cated. The cash price wereceive for our bushels isactually based on theestimated value thatprocessors think they willreceive for the meal andoil in the soybeans.

The soy checkoff real-ized the market isn’t astransparent as it could be, and this could mean U.S.soybean farmers are missing an opportunity toimprove their profitability simply by improving theirsoybeans’ quality. The checkoff established the ValueTask Force to explore ways to increase the overallvalue that farmers receive from the U.S. soybeancrop.

Just as the pricing system is complicated, there isn’ta cut-and-dried solution. Adding more value to theindustry could mean changing the pricing system, so

we’re examining strategies used by othercommodities, such as canola and wheat,

that add value to their products.We are also looking for potential methods to

improve the way soybeans are processed throughcompanion technologies. In addition, the task forcehas funded exploratory research to examine the U.S.soy value chain for any other opportunities.

Just like soybean plants don’t spring from theground the day after yousow the seeds, the U.S. soyindustry isn’t going totransform overnight. Weknow that our work to addvalue to the industry hasjust begun. But the check-off and its partners areworking toward increas-ing U.S. soybean farmers’profitability and keepingour industry strong.

So I would suggest thatall American soybean farmers take a moment to con-sider the protein and oil content of the beans theyharvest this year. Don’t know it? Might be interest-ing to find out. Making the industry more profitablefor all of us will take all of us to make it happen, onestep, or bean, at a time.

This commentary was was submitted by the UnitedSoybean Board, and was written by Dan Corcoran,USB Value Task Force Lead and a soybean farmerfrom Piketon, Ohio.

In a recent television interview, famedWall Street investor Warren Buffett char-acterized the October federal governmentshut-down as “totally irresponsible” andsaid the failure of leaders in the U.S.House of Representatives to raise thenation’s debt ceiling until moments beforepossible default was “just plain stupid.”

Unlike most stock market billionaires,Buffett wasn’t talking “his position;” thetough opinions were tied to his patriot-ism, not his investments.

“The debt ceiling is a political weapon ofmass destruction,” he told TV inter-viewer Charlie Rose, “it shouldn’t exist.It’s nuts. It’s like nuclear weapons; itcan’t be used, and both (political) parties should say‘It’s off the table’” in future budget talks — includingcurrent talks between House and Senate negotiators.

And the national debt, asked Rose, isn’t it anational calamity?

Today’s net national debt, explained the Oracle ofOmaha, is about 70 percent of the gross domesticproduct. Just after World War II, he noted, it was“something like 120 percent,” so we can “handle thedebt relative to our current output” today.

The problem, Buffett continued, “isn’t that thecountry has become poorer. It’s, in fact, become richer.A lot richer. The problem is that we’ve over-promisedin some cases and are unwilling to raise the revenue(to pay) for some of the promises we’ve made.”

A balance between the two — the needto trim some of the promises and increasesome revenues — is the best, fairest wayto secure the future, he suggested.

“This country has a wonderful future,”Buffett concluded, “and 535 people” — thetotal membership of Congress — “can’tscrew it up. They may look like they’retrying sometimes, but they can’t stop 315million Americans.”

Buffett, of course, is famous for becom-ing one of the richest people in the historyof the world through “value investing,”

buying securities of firms he believesare fundamentally undervalued in themarket. While many say they, too, are

believers in the Buffett way, no one backs up theirtalk with more bucks than Buffett.

In fact, according to a recent Wall Street Journalanalysis, Buffett’s company, Berkshire Hathaway,invested $25.2 billion in six firms after the 2008 stockmarket collapse (Swiss Re, Goldman Sachs, DowChemical, General Electric, Bank of America andMars/Wrigley). To date the total return on these sixinvestments stands at $9.95 billion, or 40 percent.

Despite Buffett’s remarkable record, this marketand this Congress do not seem to get his fundamen-tal message: bypass short-term fads and invest inlong-term value.

For proof, look at the companies Wall Street hasfallen madly in love with lately. Social networking

Facebook has a market value of $122 billion, pro-jected earnings of 0.18 cents per share and, as such,a share price 218 times more than earnings.

Crazy? Sure, but most market analysts continue topump Facebook; they expect its price to climb even higher.

Twitter, the newest social network, is about to “gopublic,” sell shares in the company. If the offeringgoes as expected, Twitter will raise $11 billion eventhough the firm has no profit whatsoever.

Meanwhile, Apple, a company that actually makessomething — market-leading computers, cell phonesand the wildly popular iPad — saw its stock priceslapped 13 percent lower Oct. 29, the day after itreported a 9-percent drop in quarterly earnings.

But Apple did, in fact, make money; $7.5 billion netprofit in just three months. And, even better, Applehas $147 billion in the bank, in cash, right now.

The short-termers in Congress are little differentthan the stock jockeys of Wall Street. They chaseafter fads, fashion and public opinion with littlethought to long-term value or long-term impact.

And, in the process, they’ve short-sold Americaand, especially, American farmers and ranchers whohave been waiting two years for a timely, updatedfarm bill. That’s totally irresponsible.

In fact, it’s just plain stupid.Alan Guebert’s “Farm and Food File” is published

Osborne Industries Inc., of Osborne, Kan.,announces that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Officehas awarded Patent No. 8,511,257, on Aug. 20 for thecompany’s Safety By-Pass Gate for the automated pigweighing and sorting system, the Osborne WeightWatcher Growth Management System.

The Osborne Weight Watcher System, introduced in2002, provides complete growth management of fin-ishing pigs in large pens. An automated weigh scale,coined the Osborne Survey Scale, sorts pigs by weightto enable target feeding, and automatically sorts mar-ket-ready hogs to cut sort losses and closely matchpackers’ matrixes. Pigs pass through the sorting scaleas they naturally move between feed and waterareas. The newly patented Safety By-Pass Gateallows animals free access to the feed and waterareas if an emergency event occurs. The gate auto-matically opens if the sort scale experiences less thannormal activity owing to any type of system failure.An industrial strength air cylinder with features thatprevent rusting, binding or fouling operates the gatemechanically during a no-power or no-air event.

According to George Eakin, president and chief execu-tive officer, the concept of the Safety By-Pass Gate arosefrom over 10 years of research and development withthe Osborne Weight Watcher System. The WeightWatcher System was introduced in 2002 at World PorkExpo in Des Moines, Iowa, at a time when feed pricesbegan rising drastically. The capability of the systemcuts sort losses by growing more pigs uniformly.

The BrandtsAda, Minn.

On Oct. 23 DannyBrandt finished upsugar beet harvestwithout a hitch. Hisveteran crew madethis year’s harvestgo “fantastic,” hesaid.

The Land spoke with Brandt on Oct.29 as he proudly announced that hisbeet lifter celebrated its 22nd birth-day. “It’s built like a brick house,” hesaid, and expects it to last many moreharvests to come.

With beet harvest complete,Brandt’s focus is now on corn. Thecorn moisture is starting to get “downto 16 to 17 percent,” he said, notingthat he’s “not wild and crazy aboutputting 20 percent (corn) away.” Sothe corn may wait in the field for awhile as it continues to dry out. Withthe liquid propane gas shortage, dry-ing the corn isn’t such an easy task —or a cheap one.

“The weather has been pretty good,”Brandt said. He hopes that trend con-tinues, to get the corn dry enough toget out of the field. Looking at thelong-range forecast, he expects condi-tions will be favorable for a late har-vest. “The best thing is to take drycorn off the field,” he said.

Brandt is happy to report that har-vest is “going right as it should.” Itjust may take a while longer this year,and he’s OK with that.

The JohnsonsStarbuck, Minn.

Waiting. So manyparts of harvest arefast-paced, but thereis also the waitingaspect of it.

That’s what ScottJohnson was doingwhen The Land spoke with him on

Oct. 30. With rain continuing for thelast 24 hours, he was waiting for condi-tions to improve before heading backto the field to get the rest of the cornharvested.

Once Johnson can get back in thefield he estimates that it should takefour to five days to finish the corn. Likemany other farmers this year he hasbeen utilizing their corn dryer, thusexperiencing a number of breakdownswith the dryer. All of the corn Johnsonhas harvested has needed to be dried.Although he has started to see corn inthe field dry down more, it’s still “wet-ter than it’s been in the last few years.”

Johnson hoped to be back in the com-bine by the weekend. He has been ableto keep up with the tillage and fertiliz-ing. Once corn harvest is complete,Johnson will work on cleaning up andputting things away for the winter.

This corn harvest has been a chal-lenge for Johnson as he’s “seen a lot ofrain” and had to deal with wet corn. Hehopes to get done “as soon as possible.... This time of year you just want toget done.”

The end of harvest is so close forJohnson — now if only the weather

would give him a break.

The MessnersNorthfield, Minn.

The weather hasbeen a factor allgrowing season forChris Messner. Thechallenging weatherearlier this year hasbecome relativelyunchallenging so farthis harvest, and he is very muchrelieved.

The Land spoke with Messner onOct. 28 as he reported that even with alittle rain forecast for the next fewdays, this year’s harvest has gone well.

Corn yields have been about thesame as last year’s, with the moisturebeing at 18 percent. “Pretty happywith that,” he said. The dryer hasbecome vital to farmers all over theregion this year, and Messner is noexception. “We haven’t had any cornthat’s coming out of the field dry,” hesaid. He hasn’t seen any corn withmoisture levels above 20 percent andfeels fortunate that his corn has driedout so much.

His corn dryer has been working sohard that it decided to take a break.The repairman was heading out toMessner’s farm to get it back up andrunning.

Messner said he expected to finishpicking corn the following week. Oncethat’s finished, it will be time to spreadfertilizer, get bins ready for winter andput equipment away.

“For the most part the fall has gonefairly smooth,” he said. “I’m lookingforward to putting the 2013 season tobed.”

The LaubenthalsSwea City, Iowa

Charlie Laubenthalfinished harvestinghis soybeans, andhere’s his bottom line:“The beans aren’tgood.”

While the beanyields were average, he was certainlyhappy to get the crop out of the field.Another positive: When The Landspoke with Laubenthal on Oct. 28, hewas thrilled to report that it has beena “virtually maintenance-free fall.”

The corn harvest was nearly comingto a close as well, with only 120 acresleft for him to combine. “It’s been agood run,” he said. Corn is down to 15percent moisture, and he hoped to fin-ish corn harvest that week.

“Yields are really across the board,with an 80-bushel-an-acre spreadacross fields,” Laubenthal said, “whichis huge.” He attributes the spread inyields to drowned-out areas.

Once corn harvest is complete, he’llstart spreading fertilizer and do sometillage work. He is also slowly startingto sell seed.

Laubenthal is sticking with his goalof having “everything put away by the25th of November.” There’s nothingbetter than to know that harvest iscomplete, fall field work is done, andequipment is put away just in time toeat some turkey. ❖

According to a recent BarnaGroup survey “Ten years ago,slightly over one out of 10Americans self-identified aslonely. Today, that number hasdoubled — a paradoxical real-ity in the full swing of thesocial media age.”

Lack of friendship is not forlack of desire. Barna reports,“the desire to find one’s placeamong a few good friends haslikewise increased from 31 per-cent a decade ago to 37 percenttoday.”

In spite of having Facebook friends and Sundaymorning coffee in the church fellowship area, it’sentirely possible to be lonely. Have you ever gatheredaround the family table, been on break with co-work-ers, or sat in a roomful of beautiful Bible studywomen and felt completely isolated, rejected, misun-derstood or alone?

For you burly guys, don’t skim or stop reading. Thisfriendship thing applies to you, too. Just put yourselfin Pete Loescher’s shoes. He blogs, “the tragedy atmy father’s funeral was not that I had to help carrythe casket. It was that I had to grab the hearsedriver to make four carriers: two relatives, thehearse driver and myself. No friends.” What a pictureof heartache within heartache.

Both men and women, introverts and extroverts,are created for relationships. God designed us thatway. He wired us for relationships with Himself andwith others. Not that there aren’t days you’d preferto live solo on a desert island, but the reality is weneed each other. For better or for worse, we need peo-ple — especially relationships that go deeper thanconversations about the weather and the price ofcorn.

Real friends strengthen and sharpen us. They tell

the truth, even when it hurts. And when you hurt,they hurt. When you rejoice, they push jealousy outthe front door and celebrate with you. They have akeen sense to know when to give good advice, andwhen to stop talking.

One of the quips my mother has often quoted overthe years is “You can choose your friends, but youcan’t choose your relatives.” It’s an old adage withhonest transparency. Family life can be messy. Par-ents don’t always get it right. Nor do their children.Poor choices come with consequences that ripple fur-ther than we could’ve ever imagined.

Misunderstandings and regrets muddy the waters,and when the water won’t stay under the bridge, theholidays increase the temptation to book a one-wayticket to anywhere, but home. No matter how hardwe try to paint lovely pictures of our families onFacebook and Christmas cards, the reality is that wedon’t live in a Norman Rockwell painting.

That doesn’t change the fact that we need oneanother. Especially when you’re family. This pastyear has held too many hospital visits, funerals, and

e-mails and phone callsfrom across North Amer-ica from those who aresick, sad and sorrowing.There will be first-time,permanent empty placesat the table and as acommunity we ache with

you. But for every chair thatis empty not from death, but

from misunderstanding, now is the time to return tothe table.

Phillips Brooks writes, “you who are letting miser-able misunderstandings run on from year to year,meaning to clear them up some day; you who arekeeping wretched quarrels alive because you cannotquite make up your minds that now is the day tosacrifice your pride and kill them; if you could onlyknow and see and feel all of a sudden that time isshort, how it would break the ‘spell.’ How you wouldgo instantly and do the thing which you mightnever have another chance to do.”

As you pass the turkey, potatoes and pumpkin pie,don’t miss the opportunity to pass out secondchances and bowlfuls of grace. Happy Thanksgiving.

Deer hunters for years have been con-structing elevated deer stands — usually a

few 2-by-4s, afew sheets ofplywood strate-gically nailed toa tree — to givethem an edgeover wily white-tails.

Nowadays,some ambitiousdeer huntersconstruct theirdeer stands toinclude heat,carpet, cookingstoves, insulatedwindows —nearly all of thecomforts ofhome — all toput venison inthe freezer.

Elden Stanke has about a half-dozen ele-vated deer stands strategically placed inand around the deer habitat on his farmjust northwest of Smith’s Mill, Minn.

Far from luxurious, utilitarian would bea more apt description. But one of themhas origins that would have to qualify it asone of the more unusual deer stands to befound in Minnesota.

Standing about 15 feet tall, a bright red,giant strawberry overlooks a slough, afield and a stand of woods.

Once upon a time, the fiberglass straw-berry was a key component in a Tilt-A-Whirl-type amusement ride aptly namedthe “Berry-Go-Round.” “My brother-in-lawfrom Waterville got it from somewhere andthought it would make a good thing for thekids to play on,” he said.

However, city fathers and neighbors tooka dim view of the scarlet orb parked promi-nently in his yard, so in the interest ofneighborhood harmony, he decided to getrid of it.

“I said I would take it, figuring it wouldlook good in the yard out here,” Stankesaid.

“And I said, no, it wouldn’t,” added hiswife, Merry, who quickly shot down anynotions about yard art.

After some consideration, he came upwith the idea of utilizing it as yet one moredeer stand for the cadre of relatives andfriends come every November to hunt deeron the farm.

“My nephews welded a stand for it,” hesaid. “And it used to turn, but they weldedit so that now, it’s stationary.”

In its original configuration, the straw-

berry had a hardbench seat runningall the way aroundthe inside for ridersand something resem-bling a round table inthe center.

In deference tofunctionality andcomfort, the table wasremoved and replacedwith a comfortablechair.

Windows were added to either side toenable a hunter to view areas to either sideof the strawberry.

High above the vegetation, a hunter canbe protected and cozy, yet have a command-ing view of the countryside.

Situated where a farm field abuts a thickstand of cattail swamp and a hundred or soyards from a patch of woods, it is in a seem-ingly ideal locationto ambush a white-tail.

But since Stankeput the stand at itspresent location twoyears ago — it’sclearly visible frombusy Highway 14 —no one has managedto draw blood whilehunting there.

He admits that thereason may have todo with a whitetail’sinnate caution aboutnew and peculiarthings that suddenlyappear in its neigh-borhood.

“The deer seem tostay up against the woods,” he said, specu-lating that it has taken some time for thekeen-eyed animals to get accustomed to theunusual addition to the countryside.

This year, he is hopeful that it may allcome together with the added attraction ofdeer’s equivalent of a smorgasbord. Anephew who now farms the property wasunable to get a conventional crop in thisspring due to the wet weather. When thingsfinally dried out, he planted a cover crop oftillage radishes.

“The radishes were planted to protect thesoil but I was told that deer really like toeat them, too,” he said of the vegetablesresembling pale cucumbers that now coverthe field by the thousands. Stanke, who wasunable to hunt last year because of somehealth issues, is unsure if he will be able tohunt with the gang this fall either.

But he figures that with the radishes asforage and the deer more accustomed to thestrawberry deer stand, the former amuse-ment ride just might be a good place for oneof his guest hunters to be when the 2013Minnesota Firearms Deer Season begins.

In the meantime, one might wonder whyhe opted to keep the strawberry its original,very noticeable red state instead of convert-ing it to a stealthier camouflage cloak ofbrowns and tans to better blend in with thesurroundings.

He thought for a moment.“Maybe someday I might want to start

growing some strawberries to sell,” hejoked. “It would make a pretty good sign.”

What fruit varieties will performwell in Iowa? Horticulturists withIowa State University Extension andOutreach answer questions aboutselecting plum, pear, cherry andpeach varieties.

What are some good plum vari-eties for Iowa?

Cold hardiness is an important fac-tor when selecting plum varieties(cultivars) for home gardens. Japan-

ese plums are not reliably cold hardyin Iowa. However, several Europeanand hybrid plum cultivars can be suc-cessfully grown in the state.

European plum cultivars that per-form well in Iowa include MountRoyal, Stanley and Damson. MountRoyal produces small fruit withbluish black skin and greenish yellowflesh. Mount Royal can be grownthroughout Iowa. Stanley (dark blue

skin, greenish yellow flesh) and Dam-son (blue skin, yellow flesh) are notreliably cold hardy in northern Iowa,but can be successfully grown in thesouthern two-thirds of the state.

Several hybrid plum cultivars(introduced by the University of Min-nesota) possess excellent cold hardi-ness and can be successfully grownthroughout the state. Hybrid plumsinclude Alderman (burgundy red skin,yellow flesh), Pipestone (red skin,golden yellow flesh), Superior (redskin, yellow flesh), and Underwood(dull red skin, yellow flesh).

European plums are self-fruitful. Asingle tree will bear fruit. Hybridplums are self-unfruitful. Two or morehybrid plum cultivars must beplanted to ensure cross-pollinationand fruit set. Toka is an excellent pol-linator for Alderman, Superior,Underwood and other hybrid plums.

What are some good pear vari-eties for Iowa?

Pear varieties (cultivars) that per-form well in Iowa include Summer-crisp (University of Minnesota intro-duction, large fruit, matures earlyAugust), Moonglow (introduced by theU.S. Department of Agriculture,medium to large fruit, matures mid-August), Bartlett (large fruit, matureslate-August, susceptible to fireblight),Luscious (developed at South DakotaState University, medium-sized fruit,matures mid-September), Patten(originated in Iowa, large fruit,matures mid-September) and Seckel(sometimes called Sugar Pear, smallfruit, matures mid-September).

Moonglow and Bartlett are not reli-ably cold hardy in northern Iowa.They should be planted only in cen-tral and southern portions of thestate. All of the other aforementionedpear cultivars can be successfullygrown throughout Iowa.

Which sour (tart) cherry vari-eties perform well in Iowa?

Northstar and Meteor are two of thebest performing sour cherry varieties(cultivars) in Iowa. Both cultivarswere introduced by the University ofMinnesota and possess excellent coldhardiness.

Northstar is a dwarf tree that com-monly grows eight to 10 feet tall. Itsfruit have a mahogany red skin, redflesh, and are 3/4-inch in diameter.Meteor is a semi-dwarf tree. Trees

may eventually reach a height of 10 to14 feet. The fruit of Meteor areslightly larger than Northstar andhave a bright red skin and yellowflesh. Another possibility is Mesabi, across between a sweet and tart cherry.Its red-fleshed fruit are sweeter thanNorthstar and Meteor.

Can sweet cherries be success-fully grown in Iowa?

Gold, BlackGold and WhiteGold aresweet cherry varieties (cultivars) thatcan be successfully grown in thesouthern two-thirds of Iowa. Gold hasgolden yellow skin. It is self-unfruit-ful.

Another late-blooming sweet cherrycultivar must be planted for pollina-tion and fruit set. BlackGold andWhiteGold are self-fruitful, mid- tolate-blooming cultivars from CornellUniversity in New York. BlackGoldhas dark red skin, while WhiteGold islight yellow with a reddish blush.Other possibilities for southeasternIowa include Hedelfingen (self-unfruitful, red fruit), Kristin (self-unfruitful, purplish black fruit), Sam(self-unfruitful, dark red fruit) andVan (self-unfruitful, reddish blackfruit).

Are there any peach varietiesthat can be successfully grown inIowa?

Peaches are not reliably cold hardyin most parts of Iowa. It is possible togrow Reliance (yellow flesh, freestone)and Polly (white flesh, clingstone) inthe southern one-third of Iowa.

Growing peaches in Iowa is chal-lenging. Cold winter temperaturesmay destroy the flower buds on peachtrees. A late frost or freeze in springcan damage or destroy the flowers. Asa result, peach trees often bear few, ifany, fruit. Gardeners in southern Iowacan anticipate a good crop about onceevery three or four years. Peaches alsoare short-lived in Iowa, often dyingwithin eight to 10 years.

Got any haints hangingaround your place?

Haint is a colloquial termused for ghost or evil spirit.Long ago, trees adorned withcolored bottles were believedto have the magical ability tocapture evil spirits and pre-vent them from entering ahouse.

The spirits would enter thebottle and get trapped inside.This folk lore legend aboutghosts, bottles and treesbegan in the old South. Today, bottletrees are enjoying new popularity asfunky garden accessories.

We have a bottle tree made from anassorted collection suspended on shootsaround the base of a basswood tree. Itis a cheerful sight as the sun hits thecolored bottles in the morning andbrightens November days. The glassbottles glisten, sway and sparkle whileshowing off their jewel tones againstthe muted landscape.

Bottle trees can be of any size, coloror shape that a gardener fancies. Rebarstakes will support a small collectionused as a focal point near a conifershrub.

A fencepost with holes drilled andround dowels inserted to hold the bot-tles is a good method for a large dis-

play. Dead tree limbs workwell as places to hang bot-tles. Constructed metal treeforms are also available forpurchase.

Cobalt blue was consid-ered the “best” color to com-bat evil spirits and yearsago milk of magnesia bot-tles were coveted. Designsand color combinations willdevelop as new bottles areadded to the tree.

Now is a good time tomake a unique bottle tree to enjoythrough the winter. They are fun, greatconversation pieces and a way to movea bottle collection from inside thehouse to your garden. Mention to yourfriends that you need colored glass bot-tles for a new garden art project andyou will soon be swamped with them.Readers ask

Is it possible to save ornamentalsweet potato vines over the win-ter?

Yes, the plants can be brought inside,cut back and treated as a house plant.The tubers can also be saved for plant-ing next spring. Dig them, removefoliage, wash soil off and let them dryfor a few days and then store in a base-ment as you would dahlia tubers.

Can I still plant bulbs outside for

spring flowering?If you can dig the ground up

enough to plant them they will dofine. Be sure to water and add aslow release fertilizer at plantingtime.

How do I force bulbs forspring bloom?

Now is a good time to plantbulbs such as crocus, tulips, daf-fodils and hyacinths for indoorblooms in March and April.

Use six-inch bulb pots andplant in potting soil about aninch apart with the pointed noseof the bulb just out of the soil.

The little puppy you brought home is adorable.She saves the best of her sweet looks and affection-ate gestures for you.

In turn, you want her to have the best of every-thing you can give.

In this mutual exchange of love, you also need toensure that the pet doesn’t give you something youmay not want to take — a zoonotic disease, which isa disease that can spread from animals to humans.

We usually do not think that we get diseases from

animals, but these instances happen more than wethink. In many cases, people do not realize that theymay have got the infection from their pets, saidStacy Eckman, lecturer at TexasA&M University’s Collegeof Veterinary Medicine.

In some cases, the ani-mals themselves sufferfrom the disease while inother cases they are notaffected by it, she said.

Infestation with intestinalparasites such as round-worms and hookwormsare common zoonotic dis-eases affecting householdpets like dogs and cats.

“A large percentage ofthe new puppies I seehave hookworms androundworms,” Eckman said.

So what are symptoms of intestinal parasitic infec-tion in pets that one should watch out for?

“Poor skin and hair, and a potbellied appearance,”she said. These zoonotic diseases are, however, morecommon in Third World countries because of poorsanitary conditions. Proper hygiene is essential tohelp prevent the spread of these diseases to humans,she said.

Cat owners need to be aware of toxoplasmosis — adisease transmitted through the feces of cats thatcan affect the unborn child in pregnant women.

Eckman recommends that households with preg-nant women and cats contact their veterinarian andphysician about precautions. Cleaning the kitty’s lit-ter box twice a day, preferably by other members ofthe household is a good option, she said.

One could also get diseases from larger animals aswell. Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that cancause serious liver and kidney problems. The infec-tion can occur through skin contact with infectedwater contaminated with urine.

Loving pets can share their ills with their owners

GARDEN, from pg. 13AWater, cover with plastic wrap with a few holespunched in it and place in refrigerator (35 to 48 F)for 13 to 15 weeks.

Mark your calendar so you know when it is time toremove the pots. Place them in a sunny spot andwater often. Enjoy the blooms.

Discard the bulbs after they put on their show asthey don’t usually do well in the garden after theywere forced.

PET, from pg. 14A“Large animals like cattle, goats,

pigs, sheep and horses are reservoirsfor this disease and may pass this toour companion animals,” Eckmansaid.

What can pet owners do to preventthese infections?

“When you first get a new pet, con-tact your veterinarian and have anexam performed. Most veterinarianstalk to you about these things to pro-

tect yourself and your pets,” Eckmansaid.

Zoonotic diseases need not always betransmitted by pets. Other animalswhich we encounter can also pass ondiseases. For example, bats are poten-tial carriers of rabies, a fatal disease.

Eckman warns that people shouldnever touch bats.

The good news is that all thesezoonotic diseases can be avoided witha little bit of preparedness. Veterinari-ans do routine exams for dogs to checkfor different diseases such as intes-tinal parasites and external parasitesthat may transmit blood-borne disor-ders.

Routine vaccinations for both catsand dogs are available with differentprotocols in different states. Monthlyheartworm preventive medications

also help prevent against parasiteslike hookworms and roundworms.

Many zoonotic diseases depend onthe local conditions prevalent in thearea.

Her take-home message: To consultyour veterinarian regarding your pet.

“Each patient is different,” she said.With awareness and care, zoonoticdiseases can often be prevented toensure a healthy pet and a healthyowner.

Last spring, the gauntletwas thrown down.

It was an us-or-them situ-ation, a full-out battle ofendurance, a fight to thedeath with only one winner.

On one side, a challengerwith rugged persistence.

On the other side: you.Plus shears, gardeninggloves, a strong back andwillingness to eradicateeach weed with ruthless-ness — which is somethingauthor Don Mitchell knows all too well. In his newbook “Flying Blind,” he explains.

Following a few years of cross-country travel anda colorful hippie lifestyle, 24-year-old Mitchellbought a farm. It was 1972, he and his wife hadspent time in Vermont , and they liked it there.When they found a 130-(“more or less”)acre farm,they put money down, bought some sheep, andbecame farmers.

The farm was ringed by woods and cliffs. It was ina bucolic rolling valley with wildlife and birds, andthe Mitchells kept their footprint small. They didn’tdo much with the thickly wooded area, but theygrew crops and they constructed a large pond withthe help of government money, even though Mitchellwasn’t happy with government rules. He says he’salways chafed under authority, but the pond was awelcome addition to their property. Life in the val-ley was good.

And then came “The Great Vermont Ice Storm” of1998. For three straight days, freezing rain coatedeverything, breaking limbs from trees and power-lines from poles. In the aftermath, Mitchell toured

his land and was sick at heartfrom the “carnage.” For nearly adecade, he couldn’t bear to enterhis woods.

That’s why, he says, he “didn’tmake a fuss” when a VermontFish and Wildlife bat expertasked to set nets to see whatkind of bats were attracted byMitchell’s pond. The fuss, infact, didn’t come until wellafter the bat man found endan-gered critters.

By that time, an intriguedMitchell had a chance toretire. Retirement would allowtime to clean out his woods.That would give him impetusto eradicate two invasiveplant species from his land, on hands andknees, to offer the bats better habitat for breeding.And that would give him time to reflect on his child-hood, and memories best left undisturbed. “Flying

Blind” is quite a surprise of abook.

With a droll sense of humor andwillingness to admit his peccadil-loes, Mitchell delights his readerswith a wandering tale that he

likens to the flight patternsof bats: straight and linear,then turning fast in anotherdirection. That’s enjoyable,like spending a few hourschatting with a new friend.

But every now and then,Mitchell’s story runs dark,and therein lies the surprise.It’s a cock-your-head kind ofthing; a did-you-see-that,fleeting squirm that disap-pears as quickly as it flew in.

Much, I’m sure, like a bat.In the end, I came to like

this book a great deal, and Ithink you will, too — particu-larly if you’re an environmen-talist down to your toes. Foryou, “Flying Blind” is a book topick up.

Look for the reviewed book ata bookstore or a library nearyou. You may also find the bookat online book retailers.

old and never goes anywhere without a book. She livesin Wisconsin with three dogs and 10,000 books. ❖

One of the hardest things a caregiver will everhave to do is to know when it’s time for their lovedone to go into a long-term care facility. Often, care-givers will go long past the point of when theyshould have incorporated help from the outside.

Sometimes, it’s their own fear of failing as a care-giver and the fear of letting someone down thatstands between themselves, their loved ones, andan improved quality of life for both. Identifyingsome of the following may help make the decisionprocess a little easier, and define certain things alittle more clearly for you.

A long-term care facility may be needed if ...• Your relative’s condition keeps getting worse and

is becoming too much for you to handle on your own;• No matter how hard you try to give care to your

loved one, it’s just not enough;• You feel as if you are the only one around who is

having to care for someone who is ill or elderly;• You’re not receiving any type of respite, and it

doesn’t look like anything can be arranged for you toget much-needed time away or rest;

• Relationships with other family members arebreaking down because of the time you must dedi-cate to caring for one person;

• Your caregiving responsibilities are beginning togreatly interfere with your work and personal life;you have feelings of guilt when it comes to takingcare of yourself;

• Your coping skills are beginning to include self-destructive behavior, such as eating too much or toolittle, increased drug use or alcohol use, or losingemotional control too often;

• You rarely experience any moments of happiness,but have too many real moments of exhaustion,anger and resentment;

• You hold your feelings in, never allowing them tobe shared with a friend or with a professional.

As a caregiver, you may very well have experiencedmany, if not all of these things from time-to-time, or youmay now be starting to experience these things con-stantly. In order to conquer your fears of placing a lovedone into a long-term care facility, you need to under-stand more about some of the facilities nearest to you.

As a caregiver, you may wonder how to go aboutfinding what’s available to your loved one in andaround the area in which they live, and how todecide upon what type of facility will be best forthem. A few people you may want to ask are: yourfamily physician, hospital discharge planners, socialworkers, home healthcare nurses, friends and/orneighbors who have been through similar experi-ences, your religious leader, geriatric screening pro-grams through a local hospital or community centerand, finally, government agencies such as the federalArea Agencies on Aging, or local social services orfamily services groups.

If there is a professional familiar with your lovedone’s condition, ask them about what kind of facilitywould be best in matching and meeting particularneeds. These people may be able to help you base adecision upon specific medical considerations andinformation, such as conditions like Alzheimer’s orParkinson’s, mental health and awareness of theperson, and their physical and mobility factors.

When deciding on a few places to check out, firstcall them and ask if there is a waiting list for thefacility, what the cost might be, and what types ofinsurance or supplements, if any, are accepted. Theanswers you receive from these calls should help younarrow down your list.

When you’ve selected a few places, make sure youask even more questions to help you better assessthe quality of each facility. Also, listen to your “gut”feelings when you begin each tour, and it may behelpful to bring along a friend or other family mem-ber in order to get some other input regarding eachfacility.

A couple of weekends ago Iwas driving to Fort Wayne,Ind., to participate in a bar-bershop competition. (No, Idon’t cut hair. I sing with theLouisville Thoroughbreds.) AsI was sailing down Interstate69, I saw a sign for Fairmount.

For some reason, the townjumped out at me. But why? Ah,yes, it dawned on me: JamesDean grew up in Fairmount,and he was buried there.

I don’t think I have ever watcheda full movie starring James Dean,but what the heck? The dude is acultural icon. I was a couple ofhours ahead of schedule, and I likeexploring things I come across as Itravel. So I visited Fairmount, Ind.

What a cute, quaint town. Aftervisiting the museum, I was givendirections to the graveyard and the

farm where he grew up. Once I located his grave-stone, I was shocked by the number of fresh flowersand tokens of love for a kid — he was only 24 whenhe died — who passed away more than 50 years ago.

Bottles of beer, coins, fresh flowers and love letters.One letter was tucked under a rock, ready to fall offof the gravestone. I replaced it but felt the urge toread it. I opened it, and the letter started off with thefollowing: “Jimmy, it’s been over 50 years since youhave been gone, and I still miss you every day.”

The letter was handwritten and two full pages.After reading the first sentence, I immediately foldedit up and replaced it securely under the rock. Thisletter was not meant for me. I felt like I had justspied on a private moment, fleetingly, but wrongly.

I then looked at the beer bottlesand packs of cigarettes surroundingthe stone, and it reminded me thatthese icons were in many ways nor-mal people, just like you and me.They had passions, likes, dislikes,favorite dishes, desserts they could-n’t resist, holiday traditions —things that help make each of uswho we are.

So, today’s column will briefly touch on icons of thepast and their favorite foods. To foodies like me, goodfood is one of the most enjoyable experiences in life,and a peek into one’s soul.

James Dean: It is reported thathis favorite food toward the end ofhis short life was a brick oven pizzaat Villa Capri outside of Hollywood,which no longer exists. Some say heate his last meal there.

Marilyn Monroe: Warm milkwith raw eggs blended in for break-fast. Steak, lamb or liver (allbroiled) for dinner.

Frank Sinatra: Eggplant parmigiana with mari-nara sauce.

Nat King Cole: Bacon cheese-burger was his favorite burger.There is also a cole slaw recipe float-ing around with his name on it, butI’m guessing that’s a play on wordsmore than anything else.

John F. Kennedy: Quite a broadmenu but he typically had to bereminded to eat. Clam chowderseems to have been one of his favorite dishes — andBoston beans.

Ronald Reagan: Split pea soup,grilled hamburgers, mac andcheese, and meatloaf, just to namea few.

John Lennon: Curry, jelly andtea. (Is there food listed there?)

Abraham Lincoln: Bacon,apples and coffee. Cooks say hewas also preoccupied and ate just

to survive. What a pity.Cary Grant: Barbecued chicken

as the main course. He also lovedhard candies.

Arnold Palmer: I gave up. All Icould find were references to icedtea and lemonade.

Mark Twain: Anything Ameri-can — steak, biscuits, fried

chicken, corn on the cob and pie.It’s possible to go on and on with

Don’t let the wintry weather fore-casts bring you down. Pick up a copy ofthe new “Minnesota’s Bounty: TheFarmers Market Cookbook” where it’salways summertime, and you can day-dream away your winter blues.

Great cookbooks aren’t just collec-tions of recipes; they’re filled withinformation that makes you want torun out and try something new. Thiscookbook is set up according to theingredient you would find in a typicalMinnesota farmers market (sweetcorn, green pepper, pork, honey …)with vibrant photos, fresh recipes and,best of all, “quick meal” tips for whenyou just don’t have much time. This isa great resource for when you end upwith a load of produce and not a lot ofideas.

And the daydreams of summer are afree added bonus.

■

Locally raised meats such as lamb and pork areoften available at markets and farms. Try these ten-der, succulent lamb burgers with the New PotatoesWith Feta and Olives (recipe following) for aMediterranean-inspired meal your family won’tsoon forget.Lamb Burgers With Tzatziki

(serves 4)Burgers

1 1/4 pounds coarsely ground lamb2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano1 tablespoon cumin2 cloves garlic, finely choppedSalt and freshly cracked pepperOlive oilTzatziki2 cups plain Greek-style yogurt2 tablespoons lemon juice1/2 cup diced cucumber1 tablespoon minced dill1 clove garlic, mincedIn a large bowl, gently work together the lamb,

oregano, cumin and garlic. Lightly season the meatwith salt and pepper. With a light hand, form fourloosely packed patties, and then gently flatten them

to about 3/4 inch thick. Brush the pat-ties with some olive oil.

In a small bowl, whisk together theyogurt, lemon juice, cucumber, dill andgarlic.

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat,or preheat a cast-iron skillet overmedium-high heat and film it with oliveoil. Place the burgers on the grill or skil-let, and cook until nicely seared on bothsides, about three minutes per side. Con-tinue cooking, brushing with a littlemore oil if grilling, until the burgers aremedium-rare (140 F). Serve topped withtzatziki in sliced pita bread, open-faceon a slice of toasted olive bread, or on ahamburger bun.

■

New Potatoes With Feta and Olives(serves 4)16 small new potatoes (Yukon Gold,

fingerlings, baby reds, etc.)3-4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oilCoarse salt1 red onion, cut into 1/4-inch rounds6 pitted kalamata olives, chopped1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano1/2 cup crumbled fetaSalt and freshly ground black pepperPreheat the oven to 350 F. Toss the potatoes with

just enough oil to lightly coat them, about 1 to 2tablespoons, and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bakeuntil the potatoes are tender but not too soft, about25 to 30 minutes. Put the potatoes in a gratin (casse-role) dish, and crush them with the back of a fork.

In a large skillet, heat the remaining oil and sautéthe onion slices until they become light brown, about6 to 10 minutes. Pour the onions and oil over thecrushed potatoes, and then toss in the olives, parsley,oregano and feta, and season with salt and pepper.Put the dish in the oven, and bake until the potatoesare very tender and the cheese is melted, about 10 to15 minutes.

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

Called a nitrogen tool bar attach-ment, this unit mounted on a 2014Hagie STS machine caught lots ofattention at the Clay County Fairin Spencer, Iowa.

“It’s not unlike any other nitrogenside-dress applicator except thisone stands tall,” said Doug Bassett,northwest Iowa and southern Minnesota territorymanager for Hagie Manufacturing Co. of Clarion,Iowa. “This attachment helps minimize weather orrain disturbances that keep you out of your fieldswhen corn is growing rapidly. With this unit you canstill get that nitrogen applied if you are doing side-dress applications or even a rescue situation ifweather didn’t give you any other option.”

Though already on the market for about 10 years,Bassett said the bar became much more popularwhen the price of corn went up, along with the priceof nitrogen. “That tended to make producers manag-ing for maximum yields and also better managingthose expensive inputs,” Bassett said.

The tool bar can be set up for 30-inch, 20-inch or22-inch row configurations. “In the narrower rowswe set the applicator knives for every other row,meaning we skip a row and let the corn reach for theN in either direction,” Bassett said, explaining therewas too much extra weight if set up with knivesevery 20 inches in the row.

Coulter wheels aren’t set up as gauge wheels con-trolling application depths but rather slit the groundso the nitrogen is squirted into that slit just beforebeing closed over with soil.

“The goal is to position that nitrogen so that itquickly attaches to soil moisture because then it willstay put in the soil,” Bassett said, indicating this is ahigh-speed nitrogen applicator permitting travel at10 to 15 mph, thus those coulters virtually roll alongon top of the soil. Deep penetrating coulters could bea problem covering the ground at these speeds.

So why knife in your nitrogen? Simply because therisk of nitrogen becoming unavailable for plant usedramatically increases when it is surface applied viabroadcast, band or otherwise compared with meth-ods that inject or incorporate it.

Urea ammonium nitrate (32 percent and 28 per-cent) commonly used in side-dress corn applicationsis easily lost through volatilization when surfaceapplied. This occurs when urea converts to ammoniagas which is released into the atmosphere throughnatural processes.

According to Rachel Halback, Hagie agronomist,the speed at which volatilization occurs depends ontemperature, humidity, soil pH and wind speed.Nitrogen loss will increase with increasing soil pH,and hot and dry weather conditions favoring evapo-ration. Ohio State University agronomists foundapproximately a 3-percent loss per day with urea-based products left on the soil surface.

“So be concerned about weather conditions whendoing nitrogen work. But also recognize that thisnitrogen tool bar attachment lets you greatly reduce

the risk of weather,” Bassett said.The tool bar attachment is removed in only 10 to

15 minutes when switching back to the spray boomfor conventional spray work.

Perhaps the beauty of this Hagie STS machine isthat the same tank, sprayer and pump system is usedfor both regular spray applications and the nitrogenwork.Tanks vary in size from 1,000 gallon to 1,600 gal-lon. Typical nitrogen application rates would be in the30-pound to 70-pound rate. More likely, however, is astarter fertilizer application at planting with a side-dress nitrogen application in season.

“Some producers are using this rig twice — early shortlyafter planting and then later after the corn is waist tochest high,” Bassett said, indicating most of their tool bar

units are being purchased directly by farmers, many ofwhom also may do some custom work for neighbors.“Butbig custom applicators are seeing this as a unique cus-tomer service which can further extend the work seasonfor their equipment, too. Historically, though, thesemachines are going to farmers who are trying to bettermanage their dollar costs of crop production.”

The risks of volatilization, immobilization andrunoff of surface-applied nitrogen make injectednitrogen much friendlier to those concerned withnutrient management.

Hagie Manufacturing dates back to 1947. Its productline of crop application equipment is now marketedworldwide. Preceding the advent of the self-propelledhigh-clearance crop sprayers, Hagie Hybrids (seed corn)started the growth of this family owned company. ❖

An interactive online map created by the Min-nesota Corn Growers Association highlights the localimpact made by corn farming throughout Minnesota.

With a single click, users can access data thatbreaks down corn production by county along withcounty-by-county information on corn crop value,stations that sell ethanol-blended fuel such as E85,ethanol plants, grain elevators and MCGA members.

The online tool can be accessed atwww.mncorn.org/farm-policy/county-stats, or underthe “Farm Policy” tab at www.mncorn.org.

“It’s another way to show how corn farming helps growthe local economy,” said MCGA president Ryan Buck, afarmer in Goodhue County. “A strong corn crop meansmore activity at local businesses and more opportunitiesto create agriculture-related jobs in the region. Cornfarming makes an impact beyond just the farm.”

Minnesota corn farmers harvested 1.386 billion bushelsin 2012, valued at over $9.5 billion.There are 350 stationsthat sell ethanol-blended fuel such as E85, 20 ethanolplants and 621 grain elevators throughout the state.

With more than 46.3 million bushels harvested val-ued over $324 million, Renville County in westernMinnesota led the state in corn production. RedwoodCounty was second with over 40 million bushels val-

ued at more than $280 million.Hennepin County has 23 stations that sell E85,

the most of any county in Minnesota. In greaterMinnesota, Stearns County in central Minnesotaleads the way with 14 stations.

Stearns and Kandiyohi counties each have 21grain elevators. Renville County has the mostMCGA members with 873.

Corn is grown in 73 of Minnesota’s 87 counties.Thereare 36 E85 stations and 19 grain elevators in countieswhere no corn production was reported for 2012.

The MCGA has over 6,700 members and repre-sents the interests of more than 24,000 corn farm-ers throughout Minnesota. To learn more about theMCGA, log on to mncorn.org. ❖

Getting into inoculant-based products and seedtreating services has generated new “farmingdimensions” for Chris Schlegel, Kandiyohi Countyarea farmer.

“We’re into a diversified product lineup which wefeel is very cost-effective and a proven method toincrease yields,” said Schlegel, who views the micro-bial and biological market as the next threshold foradvancing the productivity of agriculture.

Max Yield Solutions, the name of Schlegel’s newfirm headquartered at Schlegel Farms near LakeLillian, Minn., offers services in seed, seed treat-ment products, seed treating services, plus biologi-cals and adjuvants. With these additional technolo-gies he sees producers better able to quantify theirinputs and increase yields in an environmentallyfriendly manner.

Might these microbiological products also lessencosts? Because each farmer’s production strategiesare different, on-farm testing is the most reliableindicator of what works and what doesn’t. Eventhough some new products suggest a potential forcutting back commercial fertilizer costs, especiallynitrogen, Schlegel said it’s difficult to tell farmers tocut back on inputs when crop production is expand-ing.

“We know these products have the capability toincrease productivity without increasing costs. Asnew products keep evolving, the bottom line is bet-ter utilization of our soils and crop productioninputs. That’s no guarantee of increased yields but

it certainly is trending,” Schlegel said.

Corn, soybeans, wheat and sugar beets are on theagenda for these biological products. Already the turfbusiness is big business. “But we’re just in the earlystages of wide-scale introduction into row-crop agri-culture,” he said, with key factors being environmen-tal safety plus the ability to tailor a plan to fit thespecific needs of a grower, on a field-by-field basis.“It’s not a one-size-fits-all concept.”

His firm looks at the current inputs, be that con-ventional fertilizer or livestock manure, then devel-ops a program that fits in with what the producer isalready doing. “We’re not talking special applicationsto work with these products. We’ll tailor a programto be the most cost-effective for each particular cus-tomer,” he said.

The TerraMax products’ lineup will be a majoroffering of Max Yield Solutions. Schlegel said, “thereare a lot of advancements happening in specialresearch labs and on-farm testing. I tend to think

we’re only into the first chap-ter of putting bacteria andbiological materials to work inour farm soils. For examplewe’re looking at a bacteria-based treatment that helpscontrol corn nematode andsoybean cyst nematode. Adouble-header with a singleproduct may be just one exam-ple of new things happeningin this exciting world of micro-biologics in farming.”

N-Hibit is the name of thisEnvironmental Protection Agency-registered prod-uct with harpin as the specific protein. It will bemarketed for either seed treatment or foliar applica-tion. Pending is a new product which provides biolog-ical control of iron deficiency chlorosis in soybeans.

With the increasing resistance failures of bothtrait and insecticides to corn rootworm challenges,just maybe a biological product is waiting in thewings to eliminate this growing threat in the CornBelt.

“You never want to turn a blind eye to things hap-pening in agriculture. With expenses up and risksalso ramping higher, we want to utilize technology atthe highest level but still being cost-effective withour farming budget and enhancing the overallhealth of our crops and soils,” Schlegel said.

Schlegel can be contacted at (320) 804-3553 [email protected]. ❖

No joke, the Minnesota Departmentof Agriculture is now in the “datinggame” business.

A smiling Jim Ostlie, MDAemployee said, “in many states this iscalled a ‘Farm Link’ program but in

reality it is much like a dating service.We call it the Minnesota Farm Transi-tions program.

“We’re taking information frombeginning farmers and/or ‘wanna-be’guys and gals having aspirationsabout wanting to farm. Maybe they’venow completed college, or worked on a

farm as youngsters, orgrew up on farm butthere’s just no room forfitting into the homefarm.

“We link these youngpeople with retiring farm-ers looking to the futurebut don’t have heirs totake over the farm. But if this retiringfarmer is willing to take under his/herwing one of these younger folks, then we(MDA) arrange for face-to-face sit-downsessions with both parties.”

This starts after the MDA receives acompleted farm transitions form.

“Once you get the right information inthe hands of both parties, it’s then a mat-ter of listening and talking until the ‘retir-ing’ farm couple feels totally comfortablewith the young farmer. That, of course,includes financial details and a host ofother items,” Ostlie said.

This Minnesota Farm TransitionsInformation Form is a six-page docu-ment that compiles a huge amount ofinformation on behalf of both parties.The MDA form reads “Understandingyour goals and objectives is importantto matching and transitioning, so com-plete answers are critical.” The firstthree questions get right to it:

• How do you see yourself benefitingfrom this program?

• How do you feel about transition-ing the farm?

• What role do you see yourself play-ing in the transition of the farm?

“We’ve been trying to do some infor-mal matches for the last five years.But we decided that we really neededto iron out a specific program that pro-vides enough details so we can reallyhelp with the transition through itsentirety. Even though in its infancy,interest is building,” Ostlie said.

As of Oct. 18, 27 beginning young farm-ers have filled out the information formsand nine older farmers have expressedsimilar interest in potentially offeringtheir farms for a transition match up.

A call to Ostlie starts the process.Contact him at (320) 291-8657 [email protected], or log on towww.mda.state.mn.us for more infor-mation. ❖

“Suddenly we’re out of gas”That’s Bob Zelenka’s take on the

shortage of liquid propane for firingup crop dryers across Minnesota.Much of Minnesota’s 2013 corn cropneeds drying.

Zelenka, Minnesota Feed & GrainAssociation executive director, said some elevatorshave simply had to shut down. Some cooperatives,even some large acreage corn growers with big dry-ers on their own farms, are now dispatching semirigs to Lp terminals in other states.

“We’re hearing reports of Lp gas truckers waitingin line up to 10 hours at depots to refill their rigs. It’sso bad that even our Minnesota Lp suppliers areencouraging their customers to source Lp terminalsin other states,” Zelenka said.

To assist truckers, Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton onOct. 24 issued an emergency executive order whichprovides relief from state regulations pertaining tohours “behind the wheel” if/when extra effort isneeded in the transporting of propane and anhy-drous ammonia. Apparently anhydrous ammonia isalso caught in the shortage squeeze.

Item 2 in the executive order reads: Motor carriersand drivers transporting propane and anhydrousammonia to affected areas of the state and providingdirect assistance for emergency relief efforts, areexempted from regulations incorporated in Min-nesota Statues, section 221.0314, subdivision 9, per-taining to hours of service.

Zelenka said two factors converged to exacerbatethe issue. The late planting of much of the 2013 corncrop created wetter corn at harvest, plus the tremen-dous growth of on-farm drying and much larger dry-ing facilities at many country elevators perhapssomewhat disrupted the normal distribution chan-nels for Lp gas.

Big dryers have a tremendous appetite for Lp gas.Zelenka said big commercial dryer units can burnthrough a semi load of Lp gas in four hours. Mostdryers since mid-October have been on a 24/7 sched-ule. “I’m not certain what the answer is but we’retrying to work with both suppliers and the truckingindustry to find answers to this problem.”

The issue is both time and the cost of transporta-tion. If it’s a 10-hour run to a terminal in Kansasplus figuring in the cost of transporting, it’s a diceycall as to what’s the smart decision,” Zelenka said.

He questioned why suppliers wouldn’t have antici-pated the drying needs of Corn Belt farmers this fall,“or have we been lulled into a sense of security inview of the ‘in-field’ drying of the crop over the pastcouple of years?”

Will there be more outdoor corn storage this fall?Likely, but this season much of that may be high-moisture corn. If moisture contents are 18 percentand higher, Zelenka said that corn can fairly quicklydevelop some quality issues. It puts a big priority onaeration of that corn as soon as possible.

“But you still need to bring this corn down to 14 to

14.5 percent moisture for longer term storage.Unfortunately we don’t see any immediate relief.Relaxing the trucking regulations gives some flexi-bility. But the problem is where do you go to sourcethe product?” Zelenka said.

He thinks the executive order will provide somehelp but he questions if this isn’t more a supplyproblem. “It appears agriculture is competing withpipeline owners and suppliers who use theirpipelines for other products, perhaps diverting toheating fuels right now or even moving Lp to exportterminals.”

Pat Macht, Energy Division manager of the Har-vest Land Cooperative with major grain handlingfacilities at both Morgan and Springfield, said Lpgas supplies for the four dryers used in this coopera-tive “are on a day-by-day basis. So far no shut downs

but we’re keeping our fingers crossed.”Craig Hebrink, general manager of Co-op Country

Elevator with grain storage at Sacred Heart,Renville, Danube and Olivia, said the Lp shortage isno concern for them. “About 20 years ago we hookedup with a natural gas pipeline running through ourcommunities. I think many Minnesota elevatorsover time have hitched up to natural gas if it’s avail-able. But I can sympathize with producers and ele-vators having to shut down because they’ve run outof Lp gas. It’s a tremendous problem.” ❖

Long lines of truckswaiting for a fill of liquid propane havebeen a common sightacross the Midwestthis fall.

By RENAE VANDER SCHAAF The Land Correspondent

STURGIS, S.D. — The Lonetree Ranch has been inthe Reinhold family for almost a century. It has seenits share of weather storms, but none with the devas-tation produced by the Oct. 4 storm.

Larry and Robin Reinhold are the third generationto ranch and farm the land settled by his grandpar-ents. They and their six children live in the housethat has been the home for each generation.

“They named it The Lonetree Ranch,” Larry said.“There was one lone Cottonwood tree on their land.”

The ranch spans 4,250 acres of western SouthDakota land, 20 miles north of Rapid City and 20 mileswest of Sturgis. Those are the closest towns. Approxi-mately 350 acres isplanted to wheat.

“The cattle arethe Herefordbreed,” Reinholdsaid. “They haveproven their hardi-ness for ourchangeableweather, wintercold, summer heatand do well ongrass. We alsobreed and raiseAmerican QuarterHorses. They arebroke to bedependable cattlehorses and can betrusted with children.”

That is mighty important to the Reinholds. In addi-tion to their ranching livelihood, they own and oper-ate Rainbow Bible Camp. Throughout the summermonths children spend a week at the ranch, ridinghorses, ranching, experiencing life away from today’stechnology. There is time for Bible lessons and thewide open spaces provide opportunity for meditation.

“Last summer kids from 19 states spanning SanDiego, Calif., to Newtown, Conn., took part in Rain-bow Bible Camp activities. We need to be able to haveconfidence in our horses for the many different rid-ers.” At least 20 of those horses died in the storm.Their monetary value is between $5,000 and $10,000;their proven abilities priceless.

Those first days in October, Reinhold was sowingwinter wheat. The temperature was 85 degrees. Bynecessity, they keep a pretty close eye on the weather,he said. “My wife, Robin, is a trained weather reporter.”

“We knew a winter storm was coming,” he said. “Wemoved the cattle to shelter and put the horses by the

Livestock lossesfrom S.D. snowstorm ‘hard tocomprehend’

See STORM, pg. 32A

We knew a winterstorm was com-ing. We moved thecattle to shelterand put the horsesby the barn. It iswhat we alwaysdo when adverseweather is pre-dicted. It hasalways been suffi-cient before.

STORM, from pg. 31Abarn. It is what we always do when adverse weatheris predicted. It has always been sufficient before.”

It started raining Thursday night. When Reinholdwoke the next morning at 5:30 a.m., it was still rain-ing; but soon turned to snow. Chores were done thatday. Saturday morning it was still snowing.The stormleft behind 24 inches of snow with 10-foot drifts.

“Electricity went out on Thursday,” Reinhold said.“We moved from our house to the Rainbow Campbuilding, there we had heat and water due to a grav-ity flow system. The electricity was off until Wednes-day, so we had no contact with rest of the world.”

By Saturday evening, the Reinholds knew theyhad some losses, but as the days unfolded, theextent of the devastation became evident. Over 90head of horses and a dozen head of cattle perishedin the blizzard. Other ranchers sustained losses too.

“I can tell you story after story,” Reinhold said. “Ofyoung couples just getting started. One family hadinvested all they had to purchase 85 cows, now theyhave just 13 cows left. This kind of loss is hard to com-prehend. A young couple were building up a RedAngus cow herd, they are going to have to start over.”

Reinhold’s father and other old-timers hadendured the storm of 1949, those of the ’60s, butnone produced the livestock loss as this one has.

“The cattle still had their summer coats on,remember it was still 85 degrees just days beforethe snow flew,” Reinhold said. “It was early in theseason, it was heavy, wet snow with great accumu-lation, and the wind was ferocious.”

Livestock is the major industry of South Dakota,producing some of the best beef in the nation. Tolose thousands of cattle in one storm will have animpact for years to come, he said. What happens inthe country affects the main streets of our towns.

Ranchers are still in shock. It is difficult to assessthe total financial loss as the surviving cattle are nolonger in perfect condition. Pneumonia is a problem.Then there is the emotional anguish that comes withseeing the massive death loss.

“Ranchers care about their cattle,” Reinhold said.“They put their lives on the line all the time.This stormcame in like tsunami. The judgmental attitude that weare hearing from many, just shows their ignorance.”

Reinhold is doing what he always does in thestorms of life that seek to overwhelm. He looks to

God for strength and help.“By the Lord’s grace we will keep going,” he said.

“Agriculture’s tradition is a can-do attitude.” He hopesto be an encourager and help to others who have suf-fered. Already he has been heartened by telephonecalls from former Rainbow Bible Camp attendees.

He looks for practical ways to assist these youngfamilies.

“Cattle numbers are low, and the cattle price ishigh,” Reinhold said. “That makes it extremely diffi-cult to rebuild cattle herds. But there are otheropportunities to show that you care.”

One way is to purchase quality nursery trees forshelter belts. The storm took out trees, much as atornado leaves an area. Anyone can adopt a sufferingranch family; financial gifts make a difference.

Reinhold said he will act as a watershed for gifts tothose in need. He also suggests farm associations —such as South Dakota Stockgrowers, Farmers Unionand Farm Bureau — as organizations that can help.

As of Oct. 30, 147 ranchers had reported theirlosses to the South Dakota Animal Industry Board.Staff Veterinarian Susan Reenders said 11,781 cat-tle, 359 sheep and 264 horse deaths had beenreported.

STORM, from pg. 32Aislative director, is encouraging thosewho want to help to contribute finan-cially to the Rancher’s Relief Fund.

“It was established by the Black HillsArea Community Fund Association,”Traxinger said, “but it will be adminis-tered by the South Dakota Cattlemen’sAssociation, South Dakota Stockgrow-ers Association and the South DakotaSheep Growers. Nearly, if not, 100 per-cent will go right to the ranchers.

“Monetary donations are best at thistime,” he said. “It is the time of the yearthat ranchers sell. They use that moneyto pay living expenses and pay down onbank notes. Now their income is gone.”

Traxinger said the three organiza-tions were providing excellent leader-ship, mobilizing efforts with supportand information.

Seventeen counties were listed onthe South Dakota website has havingemergency management teams.

“A lot of producers thought they hadtheir cattle in a good place with plentyof bedding,” Traxinger said. “Onesheep producer lost all his sheep whenthe building collapsed on them.”

The ranchers did the best they could,he said. So many different factors wereinvolved. The storm delivered a morepowerful punch than predicted. Forty-plus inches of snow fell in some placesin the Black Hills, with wind speedsover 70 miles per hour.

In addition to being the largestsnowfall ever in October, it also hit atthe very beginning of the month.

“South Dakota will recover at theend of the day,” Traxinger said. “Sup-port is coming from the local communi-ties and elsewhere.”

Three information meetings were heldin late-October. These gatherings were ajoint effort by South Dakota Cattlemen’sAssociation, South Dakota FarmBureau, South Dakota Farmers Union,and South Dakota Stockgrowers Associa-tion with the support of other industrygroups and local businesses.

Donations can be sent to BHACFRanch Relief Fund, P.O. Box 231,Rapid City, SD 57709. ❖

Called the Min-nesota Youth BeefExperience Program,this project now inits 10th year, hasplaced 84 beefheifers into thehands of youthacross Minnesota according to coordi-nator Claudine Goodrich.

“These beef heifers are donated byvarious Minnesota beef producers toyouth who apply to be selected. Theseyoungsters are between 12 and 16years of age. Most are farm kids butnon-farm youth also apply,” Goodrichsaid. “What we are doing is creating amentorship between seasoned beefproducers and the youth to encouragethe love of beef and the ongoing devel-opment of our industry.” She notedMinnesota cattle producers averageabout 56 years of age.

If a non-farm kid is selected, wheredoes the heifer live? She explainedthat the youth in his/her applicationhas to identify housing arrangementswith a nearby farmer to house the crit-ter. Also the applicant will be provid-ing daily care (feeding, etc.) of thenewly acquired heifer and getting alocal source to impregnate the heifer(two straws of semen are provided byan A.I. cooperator). Clippers are pro-vided and Purina supplies some grainso there’s minimal out-of-pocket coststo these youth selected for their beefheifers each year.

“Plus we encourage these youth tomake connections with a local vet;with other cattlemen in the area; andof course to learn how to tend and fittheir heifer for the local county fairplus be spokespersons about theirexperience. In essence we enable themto develop new confidence in them-selves while also learning the detailsand husbandry of raising a beef ani-mal,” Goodrich said.

Some of these Minnesota youth arepersistent. Goodrich told of ZacharyClaire who applied four years in a rowbefore finally being chosen just prior tothe 2013 Beef Expo. The Expo does aspecial recognition of the Youth Expe-rience Program, including color photosof all previous winners, year by year,plus a display of scrapbooks requiredby each selected youth.

Goodrich commented about the dif-ference in the quality of Claire’s firstyear application which was done inpencil versus his finely prepared appli-cation for the 2013 award.

“At our seminar here at Beef Expowe give ideas to the kids on how toimprove their applications plus wehave guest speakers from the beefindustry, and we also include a greatbeef dinner. It’s much like a familyaffair. The Animal Science Departmentof the University of Minnesota puts onthis entire seminar event,” Goodrichsaid.

She and her husband, Mark, bothraised beef as youth and benefitedfrom mentors. “So why not share ourpassion for this with other youth? Wehad a neighbor lad who helped us. Wegave him a heifer from our herd. Wesaw what ownership and care of thatanimal did for him. That was thespringboard so to speak for gettingthis program going here at the Min-nesota Beef Expo,” she said.

At Beef Expo youth winners from theprevious year (10 for 2012) compete ina showmanship contest with theirindividual heifers, as well as individ-ual interviews and their scrapbookentries, plus their year-long progressreports which are shared with theirsponsor (beef producers who providedthe free heifers).

The winner gets a $750 AchievementAward check plus a plaque.

Goodrich said a special surprise ateach Youth Seminar awards banquet iswhen a heifer is awarded to a youthwhose name is randomly drawn from abox containing the names of all youthattending the seminar who weren’tselected by the committee to win a freeheifer. This particular heifer is cour-tesy of the Minnesota State Cattle-men’s Association; the other heifers

are courtesy of indi-vidual beef producersaround the state.

She said 10 to 12heifers are providedeach year for this pro-gram. Sometimes thefree heifer program isself-sustaining.Goodrich said a 2012heifer winner thisyear provided a freeheifer from her par-ents’ herd for one ofthe lucky applicants.

“We’ve had somereally successful kidscome out of this pro-gram. They develop anew sense of responsi-bility and respect, plusyou can sense theirpride in caring for

their heifer, especially when it pro-duces its first baby calf. They matureso much. I see the tremendous gain inself-confidence among these youth.Plus they are so grateful,” she said.

There are some heart-warming sto-ries, too. Tyler Doyle, 16-year-old sonof Kerry and Angie Doyle of Easton,Minn., won a Hereford heifer in 2012which Tyler brought to the 2013 BeefExpo for competition in the beefshowmanship event.

Named Lucky Lady, the heifer wasTyler’s pride and joy. His mother saidTyler went to the barn each morningand evening, before and after school.“He was feeding and caring for LuckyLady but I know he was also talking toher. She really was his special friendand now having Lucky Lady back hereat Expo, where Tyler one year agofound out he was one of the lucky win-ners, is pretty big,” Angie said.

Tyler is fighting a bigger challenge.In mid-November he starts a 100-dayspinal column bone-marrow trans-plant session at Mayo Clinic inRochester, Minn. His big hope? “ThatI’ll be out of the hospital and backhome before Lucky Lady has her babycalf,” Tyler said, as he led Lucky Ladyinto the arena that Friday afternoonat the Minnesota Beef Expo. ❖

A logical place tozero in on the Min-nesota cattle busi-ness is the Min-nesota Beef Expo,where for 14 yearsKent Thiesse hasheaded up the YouthProgram.

With considerably cheaper cornprices than one year ago, how doesThiesse read the immediate future forMinnesota cattle producers?

“Yes, there’s some understandableoptimism, especially from the cow-calfproducers. Calves are at record pricesright now,” Thiesse said, explainingthat it is basically a supply anddemand situation. Because of threeyears of drought conditions, beef cownumbers and total beef supply in thiscountry are at near record lows. Addto that the early October blizzard thatripped through western South Dakotaand surrounding areas and claimedtens of thousands of livestock.

Many of these losses were pregnantcows which directly impact the supplyof feeder calves again next year. “Inthe big scheme of things, not a bigdeal but, even so, this only exacer-bates what already is a tight supply,”Thiesse said.

Minnesota feedlot operators are cer-tainly noting the squeeze of escalat-ing feeder prices so even with signifi-

cantly reduced feed costs themargins are likely stayingfairly tight but Thiesse did ven-ture, “there’s now more oppor-tunity for profitability but it’slikely not as profitable as onemight think.”

So if the drought cycle isdiminishing in the southwestwill cattle numbers, especiallybeef cows, rebound? “Yes, butnot rapidly,” Thiesse said. “Thecattle business simply takes along time to rebuild numbers.Plus as cow men rebuild theirherds, they are naturally keep-ing more replacement heiferswhich, in the short term, canput even more pressure on thesupply situation.”

Unlike the hog industry and thepoultry business, cattle cycles are long-term so he’s not seeing much rebound.

Will the cattle business eventuallybecome a conglomerate of just a fewhuge owners and investors? Thiessedoesn’t believe so. “The cattle businessis unique. Yes, on the feeding side ofthis industry there are now huge feed-lots often with multiple ownerships.But the nature of the cow-calf businessstill continues to lend itself to a lot ofsmaller operations.

“There are many areas of our countrysuited only for pasture land and forageproduction, often best fit for smalleroperations including part-time rancherswho have off-farm jobs. We have quite a

bit of this in Minnesota so I don’t seemuch change in the cow-calf businessregardless the financial outlook.”

Thiesse recognizes the growing coop-eration between the Department ofNatural Resources and other publicland agencies and ranchers wanting torent these acres for grazing. It seldomis an environmental issue. He relatedto earlier times when agriculture wasmore diversified with livestock alwayspart of that farming landscape.

“Livestock was a positive from anenvironmental standpoint. Obviouslythe first fertilizer we used in growingcrops was livestock manure. Properlymanaged, livestock manure is still anexcellent resource for the soil,” Thiessesaid, pointing out Minnesota livestockproducers have improved their man-agement strategies to the extent thatlivestock pastures adjacent to rivers,streams and lakes are seldom now anenvironmental issue.

In view of significantly larger corncrops than earlier predicted should feed-ers contract ahead for feed supplies?Putting on his “banker’s cap,” Thiessehesitated just a bit and said, “todaymost producers are looking at margins

so it’s hard to suggest locking in.But if feed prices and cattlefutures generate a margin, thencontracting could be working foryou. But if margins are question-able right now, there is nourgency to contract ahead.”

Thiesse is vice president atMinnStar Bank in Lake Crys-tal, Minn., as well as author ofthe “Farm Programs” column inThe Land, found on page 3B inthis week’s issue.

“There’s nothing on the hori-zon to suggest a run-up of cornprices. Given the encouragingyields on this 2013 crop andlooking at projected planting

acres for 2014, it looks like continuedpressure on the corn market isinevitable, at least in the short term. Itlooks like corn supplies nationwideand worldwide are in a more stable sit-uation so volatility in the commoditymarkets should be lessened.”

Being part of the “think tank” teamthat created the Minnesota Beef Expo14 years ago, Thiesse is pleased, almostamazed, that it has become such a show-case event for the Minnesota cattleindustry. “Yes, this has now become oneof the major events in the Upper Mid-west,” said Thiesse, who since Day 1 hasbeen coordinator of the junior show.There were about 800 cattle and morethan 300 exhibitors in this year’s juniorshow portion of Beef Expo which wasOct. 18-20 at the Minnesota State Fair-grounds. Expo dates correspond withthe annual Minnesota teachers conven-tion which shuts down Minnesota publicschools for three days, so students aren’tplaying hooky when participating.

The junior show is an educationalevent with things like judging con-tests, a knowledge bowl, a team fittingcontest and the Minnesota Youth BeefExperience Program (see story on Page35A). ❖

The Minnesota Board of AnimalHealth has begun providing freeidentification ear tags to Minnesotacattle producers, veterinarians andbison farmers, and it’s going “greatguns,” according to Erica Gunder-son, communications specialist withthe Board. “Since the first of theyear we have now distributed nearly 200,000 tags,”Gunderson said at the recent Minnesota Beef Expo.

Are there other ID systems? According to BAH,there are several approved forms of official ID for cat-tle moving within Minnesota. (Log on towww.mn.gov/bah for a complete list.) But there arecertain cattle that must be officially identified. Theyare breeding cattle, rodeo cattle and all cattle for exhi-bition. Breeding cattle include all cattle except ...

• Heifers of beef breed less than 18 months of ageand maintained for feeding purposes.

• Bulls under 10 months maintained for feedingpurposes.

• Steers and spayed heifers.These free tags are offered in red, green, yellow, blue

or white. Call (651) 201-6836 to order.The primary rea-son for ID tags is for health purposes, Gunderson said,indicating that “traceability” is important if and when

there is an animal disease outbreak.Working the same booth at Beef

Expo, Jim Ostlie,MinnesotaDepartment ofAgriculture Live-stock Develop-ment/Planningspecialist, saidthat Minnesota

maintains about one million head ofbeef cattle, both heifers and steers.He said beef cow operations are theprimary user of ear tags becausemany of their cattle are transported to other locations.

Many years back, ID tags began replacing thebranding iron for animal identification. Ostlie saidseveral states offer various incentives to cattlemento purchase ID tags. But he said to the best of hisinformation, Minnesota is still the only state to offerfree tags, whether it’s just a handful or 200 tags.

He noted that animal ID is rapidly becoming anational focus, promoted by the National Cattle-men’s Association as a means of lessening indemnityissues regardless of the triggering factor.

Gunderson maintains that the Minnesota cattleindustry does a good job of maintaining a clean andhealthy cattle inventory. If there is a particular dis-

ease break, the Minnesota Board of Animal Health isat the ready to offer assistance.

Ostlie points out theMinnesota cattle industryhas remained surpris-ingly steady in numbers.He reasoned that becauseMinnesota has such adiverse infrastructure andmore reliable weatherpatterns, livestock num-bers are fairly constant.He noted the tremendousdecline in beef cow num-

bers in the southwestern states was because of ongo-ing drought issues over a three-year period. “Thosechallenges just don’t happen up here,” Ostlie said. ❖

The primary reason for IDtags is for health purposes... ‘traceability’ is impor-tant if and when there is ananimal disease outbreak.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture recentlyannounced funding to provide safety training for themore than 2 million youth working in agriculturalproduction.

The USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agri-culture awarded $600,000 to Pennsylvania StateUniversity to develop a national training curriculumthat lessens agricultural hazards to young workers.The training will align with Career Cluster Stan-dards of the National Council for Agricultural Edu-cation for a unified approach to a national farmsafety education and curricula-certification programfor youth. The project will establish a national steer-ing committee to engage the Department of Educa-tion, Department of Labor, FFA, Farm Bureau,Farmers Union, Ag Safety and Health Council ofAmerica, National Council for Ag Education andother relevant partners. The committee will work toidentify curriculum and testing gaps, certificationneeds and industry-recognized credentials.

Curriculum materials will be placed on the eXten-sion website in the new Ag Safety and Health Com-munity of Practice to be used in both formal andnon-formal settings. A national outreach strategywill promote use of the curriculum from youth andfarm safety instructors to parents and 4-H youthprograms. Additionally, the project will determinethe resources required to sustain a clearinghouse fornational youth farm safety and education curricu-lum, state certification requirements and testing.

NIFA made the award through the Youth FarmSafety Education and Certification Program, whichwas established in 2001. Agricultural education is animportant part of an individual’s career and technicaleducation. As such, it needs to provide instructionthat leads to industry-recognized credentials. In addi-tion, vocational agricultural program curricula needto be aligned with current career standards and cur-ricula that integrate agricultural safety and health.

Through federal funding and leadership forresearch, education and Extension programs, NIFAfocuses on investing in science and solving criticalissues impacting people’s daily lives and the nation’sfuture. More information is available atwww.nifa.usda.gov. ❖

Started just two yearsago with about 10,000 acresof public land being openedfor cattle grazing, the goalis at least 50,000 acres forthis dual mission of grazingland for cattle and betterhabitat for wildlife.

“We’re at about 26,000acres currently,” said KellyAnderson, a MinnesotaDepartment of Agricultureemployee.

Originally the cattleowner was responsible forfencing the grazing area inhis lease agreement withthe Department of NaturalResources. But Anderson said goingforward the DNR will be responsiblefor perimeter fencing around a desig-nated grazing area. However addi-tional fencing to permit rotationalgrazing within that designated areawill be the responsibility of the indi-vidual cattleman.

Fees for grazing DNR land are vari-able because it somewhat dependsupon the decisions of the local DNRoffice in a given area. “Some lands areput out on a bid basis; some are a flatfee subject to application procedures,”Anderson said.

Regardless, differences of opinionbetween sportsmen, the DNR and cat-tlemen will always tend to happen.“Hunters who hunt the land aftergrazing are generally very satisfiedwith the results. Easier hunting and

more wildlife are their general com-ments,” said Jim Ostlie, also with theMDA. By the same token he’s taken afew harsh phone calls from hunterswho simply don’t accept the data thatscience is providing.

Available on the MDA website is alisting of grazing lands availablethrough the DNR, U.S. Fish andWildlife and other public agencies. Logon to www.mda.state.mn.us.

“You’ve got to get your name into thehat, so to speak. Then the selectionprocess starts and it typically is a com-petitive bidding process,” Ostlie said.

How does Minnesota agricultureadvance in this ongoing struggle foraccess to public land, especially withmore acres getting into public owner-ship each year? Ostlie said that Min-nesota agriculture continues to grow, if

not in more productionacres each year certainlyin the productivity ofeach acre.

“I credit Minnesotafarmers for being veryenvironmentally con-scious while still provid-ing a strong and healthylivestock industry. Thereare always objectors oneither side of the fencebut in my opinion Min-nesota farmers are doingeverything right. Ourfarmers diligently prac-tice conservation andquickly adapt programsthat enable them to beeven more conservationcorrect,” Ostlie said.

Conservation grazing talkingpoints

• The DNR plans to use conservationgrazing as a management tool onapproximately 50,000 acres of WildlifeManagement Areas. An additional6,000 acres in Region 3 are now identi-fied as land suitable for grazing so pos-sible grazing is now 56,000 acres.

• In 2013, there were eight new sitesfor an additional 3,227 acres with fenc-ing, water and other infrastructureinstalled and prepared for grazing.

• On July 1, $600,000 of Legislative-Citizen Commission on MinnesotaResources funding became available toinstall grazing infrastructure on 5,000acres. This work is contracted out toprivate vendors over the next two tothree years.

• One of the largest grazing projectsin Minnesota is on Chippewa Prairiein Chippewa and Swift counties. Thisjoint venture between the DNR, TheNature Conservancy and local cattleproducers demonstrates conservationgrazing practices.

• Each new grazing location willhave a grazing plan written that willaddress objectives, rare features, sen-sitive areas, invasive plants, livestockrates, fencing, water and monitoring.

“Informally we have heard from theLac qui Parle WMA and the GlacialRidge NWR manager that producersare ecstatic about the weight gainthey are seeing on their livestock withconservation grazing,” said CarmelitaNelson, DNR Division of Fish &Wildlife Prairie Grassland coordina-tor. She can be reached at (651) 259-5014.

Time of grazing on WMAs dependson objectives. However grazing willusually start in mid-May with cattleremoved before the fall hunting sea-sons, generally not later than Aug. 15.Some areas may be grazed seasonlong, others rotated through a seriesof paddocks, and others flash grazedfor a brief period of time. Current veg-etation and management objectiveswill drive the timing and stockingrate for each site.

Primary livestock will be cow-calfpairs. Cattle producers are responsi-ble for moving and caring for the live-stock. Hunting is allowed on grazedWMA land. Signs will be posted andhunter access gates will be providedat strategic locations. ❖

KKarl Perl told the people ofStearns County, Minn., that henearly starved while escaping

the Russian army during World War II.That is why he got into the food busi-

ness, he said.“He was Jewish,” said Alex Marthaler,

of Padua. “He was in the Red Army ona train. He didn’t know where he wasgoing. He thought maybe Siberia.”

Years later Perl showed Marthalerhis deformed ankles.

“He said he got those when he waswalking across the Ukraine.”

Perl was wounded twice during hislong walk, or earlier.

Perl told Marthaler about his escapewhen he was farming near Padua.Before Padua, Perl founded the success-ful Perl Sausage Co. in Chicago. Hisobituary says he was a successful busi-nessman in East Germany until 1954.

He was also the father of seven sons. Inhis 50s he left them, and a divorcedwife, in Chicago.

“He loved the American farmer,”Marthaler said. “He was very patriotic.”

He also knew good farmland. Hisdream was to farm some of America’srichest, most-productive soils.

“His goal was to own 2,000 acres,”Marthaler said. “He ended up with2,004 acres.”

Karl Perl was like that. He accom-plished what he set out to do, whetherit was to walk across war-ravagedEurope or buy just the right number ofacres of rich Minnesota farmland.

In the 1990s he set about making ashrine to the American farmer. Thatshrine stands on a high rise of aboutfour acres on Stearns County Road 28.An American flag flaps in the breeze. Avisitor looking north can see thousands

of acres — 2,000 in fact — of corn andsoybeans spreading to the horizon.

The shrine’s black stone says simply“God Bless America — Land of Opportu-nity — To the American Farmer.” In smallletters at the bottom is carved, “Dedicatedby Karl Perl, The Jewish Farmer.”

Just beyond the monument are the silosand buildings Perl built as part of his2,000-acre project. He lived there alone.

The stone is dated for the year 2000.Marthaler says it probably was erecteda little earlier. But 2000 is an interest-ing date. Karl Perl died in 2001.

The obituary his sons wrote contradictswhat he told people in Stearns County. Itsays he was discharged, with distinction,from the Red Army while recovering fromwounds. Perl was his mother’s name. Hisfather was named Katz-Feig. The obitu-ary does not mention his more than twodecades as an American Farmer. ❖

Local Corn and Soybean Price Index

Grain prices are effective cash close on Nov. 4. The price index chart compares an average of most recently reported local cash prices with the same average for a year ago.*Cash grain price change represents a two-week period.

Grain AnglesAg experiencing youth movementThere has definitely been resurgence in agriculture.

When I entered college in the early 1980s, I was toldthat there were so many opportunities in agricultureyou could always find a quality job. At that time, therewas a short supply of farm kids who went to college.Then all of a sudden,“the ’80s” hap-pened and suddenly, all of those jobopportunities dried up. My friendsall thought that “working in town”was so much better than farming.Times have changed.

What has been a pleasant trendover the last five years is that theyounger generation is starting tocome back to the farm.Most of themhave gone to college and then deter-mined that they want to make pro-duction agriculture their life’s work.

In the last few years, the grainindustry has seen tremendous prof-its and it has been easy to bring another generation intothe operation. The current generation has been able tomaintain their income, they’ve purchased new equip-ment and maybe they’ve even been able to invest in agetaway up north. In addition, the younger generationhas been able to afford good housing, new vehicles and anice standard of living. In most cases, it’s been an easytransition and both generations have been happy.

So, you might be wondering where I’m going withthis. Today, it appears we could be entering a time ofdifferent economics.

If you look back, it wasn’t that long ago when we weresatisfied with a $50 profit per acre and if we were ableto squeeze out $100 per acre, we were pleased. Theyounger generation, who hasn’t experienced a down-

Grain OutlookHuge yields

sink corn pricesThe following market analysis is for the week end-

ing Nov. 1.CORN — Corn sank to three-year lows this week as

huge yields outweighed all else. Harvest was once againinterrupted as rain movedthrough the Corn Belt this week,but prices continued to slide lower.

The delay kept basis levels firmfor short-term delivery and helpedlimit losses on the Board of Trade.The nearby corn spread narrowedto under 10 cents as a result. Theslower harvest progresses, themore time there is to catch up ondrying and find a place to storethis huge crop — that’s if you canfind propane for your dryer.

Corn conditions were reported bythe U.S. Department of Agricultureon Oct. 28, the latest for this report to be published,which showed a 2 percent increase in the good-excellentcategory to 62 percent. It’s not unusual to regularlyhear yield reports of 200 bushels per acre or higher.

The weekly export sales report this week included threeweeks worth of data due to the government shutdown.Sales at 179 million bushels were more than double tradeexpectations. It was surprising that Mexico was thebiggest buyer, followed next by Japan and then China.Total export commitments are 808 million bushels and weonly need 10.6 million bushels of sales per week to reachthe USDA’s projection.

New crop sales were an impressive 29 millionbushels. Next week’s sales should be good with addi-tional purchases this week by South Korea and

Livestock AnglesCattle in supply,demand battle

November has started off in an interesting patternbetween futures and the cash livestock markets. Cattlehave traded higher in the cash market while the futuresmarket has failed at weekly highs. At the same time thehog futures, which have been discount to a firm cash mar-ket, have moved to a premium whilethe cash market has slipped lower.

Cattle are in a battle of supplyversus demand, which has beengoing on for a long time. The bat-tle is becoming more acute as cat-tle prices at every level of produc-tion have risen to levels that inthe past have brought consumerresistance.

With competitive meats slowlydropping in price at the same time asdisposable income to the average con-sumer declines, the prospect for fur-ther consumer resistance is likely to occur. If this scenariocontinues on its present course, the lack of demand willtrump any depletion of the supply of cattle and priceswould more than likely decline.At this time it appears thatmost analysts are concentrating on supply and ignoringthe fact that domestic beef demand has declined.

Another red flag has surfaced as far as supply is con-cerned which could have a major future impact on the cat-tle market. It appears that, from a global perspective,manyforeign countries have been increasing their cattle num-bers,which poses a threat to the U.S.beef export market.

November could end up being the crossroads for thecattle market as to whether supply or demand rule, andthus which direction cattle prices head in the future. Pro-ducers are urged to pay close attention the market move-ments in the weeks ahead and protect their inventories

NYSTROM, from pg. 1BJapan. South Korean feed groups arethought to have bought in excess of500,000 metric tons of U.S. March-April corn over two days this week,indicating how competitive U.S. corn iswith South America and Ukraine. Wecurrently have 66 percent of the totalexport sales projection committed.

Informa Economics’ latest cropupdates this week reflected a cornyield 161.2 bushels per acre, up fromtheir last forecast of 158.8 bu./acreand the USDA’s September 155.3bu./acre estimate. Informa usedplanted corn acreage of 95.969 millionacres, down 1.43 million acres fromthe USDA’s last report; harvestedacres at 88.25 million compared to theUSDA’s 89.1 million. Their productionnumber of 14.223 billion is up fromtheir 14 billion bushel estimate inOctober and compares to the Septem-ber USDA 13.843 billion bushel out-look.

The Environmental ProtectionAgency did not release the 2014Renewable Fuels Standard mandatethis week. Reportedly, 40 percent of

U.S. Representativessigned a letter thaturges the EPA to cut the2014 mandate from 14.4 billion gallonsto 13.0 billion gallons. This week’sethanol production was up 14,000 bar-rels per day to 911,000 barrels/day andthe highest level since June 2012. Prof-itable production margins were behindthe increase which was 10 percenthigher than a year ago. Despite higherproduction, stocks at 628 million gal-lons were down 23 million gallons tothe lowest levels since record keepingbegan in June 2010.

OUTLOOK: The inability of corn tostage a rally after the tremendousexport sales report supports ideas thatthe harvest low has not been reached.The overwhelming size of this year’scrop has outweighed any harvestdelays and should limit any near-termrallies. The December corn contractclosed for the week at $4.27 1/4 perbushel, which was down 12 3/4 cents ofthe week. For October it was down 131/4 cents per bushel. First support inthe December corn at $4.25 likely betaken out this week; next support near$4.15 per bushel. Resistance stands at

$4.50 per bushel. Haveyou started on 2014

sales yet?SOYBEANS — Soybean harvest

should be close to complete by the timethe crop report is released, if theweather cooperates. Basis levels weremostly steady; but in areas where thebids rolled to the January contract,buyers are trying to take the hugeinverse with them. Transportationissues in the Pacific Northwest persistwith trains late and vessels havingtrouble finding berth space. Thenearby November-January boardinverse surged out to over 15 cents inefforts to bring beans to market.

Weekly export sales, which includeddata for the last three weeks, weremuch better than forecasts at 174.2million bushels. China now has 20mmt of U.S. beans on the books whenlast year they were at 15.7 mmt. Soy-bean sales only need to average 5.2million bushels per week for the bal-ance of the crop year since we alreadyhave 86 percent of the USDA’s projec-tion on the books.

This suggests either sales estimatesneed to be raised or that sales willhave to nearly evaporate for the rest ofthe year. The development of the SouthAmerican crop will heavily influencewhich will occur. South America hasbeen receiving welcomed rains overthe last 10 days and is off to a goodstart. There were no 2014-15 crop yearsales reported this week.

Informa Economics new cropupdates pegged the bean yield at 43.3bu./acre versus their October estimateof 41.7 bu./acre and USDA’s 41.2bu./acre. For production, they are at3.298 billion, up 122 million bushelsfrom their last update and 149 millionhigher than the USDA. Acreage num-

bers were 76.918 million planted and76.118 million harvested. The Septem-ber USDA figures were 77.2 millionplanted and 76.4 million harvested.

OUTLOOK: Harvest is windingdown and it’s a big crop, so why would-n’t we expect a weaker market? Themarket didn’t disappoint us withNovember beans down 42 cents for theweek at $12.51 1/2 per bushel. Itshowed a miniscule loss of 2 1/2 centsfor October. First support in the Janu-ary soybean contract has fallen to$12.25/$12 per bushel and near-termresistance at $12.88 per bushel.

Looking ahead, record export salescommitments, good crush margins andunwillingness of growers to part withbushels should support basis. Boardprices should also share a portion ofthe burden to keep the pipeline sup-plied once the bin doors are slammedshut. It’s not too early to be looking atyour 2014 marketing plan.

Nystrom’s notes: India intends to cuttheir minimum wheat export price to$260 per ton, which brings fears thatthey will increase wheat exports to 5mmt to 6 mmt, up from less than 1mmt last year. Contract changes for theweek ending Nov. 1: Minneapolis wheatdeclined 19 1/2 cents, Chicago down23 cents and Kansas City dropped 251/2 cents. December crude oil plum-meted $3.24 to $94.61, ultra-low-sulfurdiesel fell over 2 1/2 cents, gasoline lost2 1/4 cents and natural gas crashed 30cents lower. The U.S. dollar indexsoared 1.5 percent higher for the weekwhich lent pressure to commodities aswell. The next USDA crop report isNov. 8 at 11 a.m. CT.

HUNEKE, from pg. 1Bturn yet, may not be ready for thischange. It’s important that you areproactive in addressing this possibil-ity in order to avoid future stress andto prevent the younger generationfrom coming back to you and saying,“I wish you would’ve warned me.”

Now is the time to start the discus-sion on how lower economics willimpact your operation and to startpreparing the younger group for less-profitable years. We need to relay ourpast experiences without going back to“’80s talk,” as that will make them justroll their eyes. It’s important we tellthem about the days when the marginsmeant you had to decide which piece ofequipment to upgrade instead ofupgrading four or five pieces a year.

Also, warn the younger generationthat the pickups they are driving nowmight be around for quite a few yearsand they may not be able to take awinter vacation every year. Startpreparing the younger generationnow for what could be leaner times.

If you haven’t brought your youngerpartners into the financial discus-sions of the operation, it is a good timeto start looking at the numberstogether. If they become involved in

understanding your financial pictureit will help them understand whencash flow may become tighter, andmaybe the family living withdrawalsneed to be more conservative.

The key to any successful partner-ship is communication. Make sure youare communicating with the youngergeneration and that you are truly lis-tening to them. Through communica-tion you can make sure there aren’tany issues simmering. Everyone canbenefit from the knowledge you havegained from your past experiences.

Advice for the next generation

TEALE, from pg. 1Bwhen needed.

The hog market appears to have runinto resistance once again as it movedover the $90 per hundredweight levelbasis cash and futures. The resistancecame in the pork cutout which beganto slip as product became more abun-dant. This forced the packers to bemore reluctant in being aggressive inaccumulating live inventory and thusthe cash prices began to tumble.Because the pork cutout level is at arelatively low level as compared to thebeef cutout, demand seems to be gain-ing momentum mainly due to the

value of pork versus beef and chicken.The recent cold storage report that

was released recently suggests a fairdraw-down on pork supplies versus ayear earlier, which also indicates a fairdemand for pork products. Thisdemand, which surfaces as pork pricesdecline, is likely to provide some sup-port, which will show up as greaterpacker interest at lower prices which,in effect, reflects better demand.

This could ultimately help stabilizethe hog prices in the weeks ahead.Therefore, producers should use excesspremiums in deferred months to protectinventories if given the opportunity. ❖

The forty-one members of the U.S. Sen-ate and U.S. House conference committeedesignated to determine a new farm billmet for the first time on Oct. 30.

The conference committee is chargedwith finding a compromise on the versionsof the farm bill that were passed earlierthis year by both the Senate and House.There are a lot of major differences in thetwo versions of the farm bill that havebeen passed to be worked out by the con-ference committee, as well as some otherissues that will likely impact the debate.

The current farm bill extensionexpired on Sept. 30, with many pro-grams and provisions set to expire byDec. 31.

The Congressional Budget Office in May estimatedthat the current farm bill would require $973 billionover the next 10 years (2014-23), or $97.3 billion peryear, without any reductions in expenditures. Thebreakdown of federal expenditures by the CBO is asfollows.

• Food and nutrition (SNAP) programs: $764 bil-

lion (79 percent)• Crop insurance program: $84 billion

(8.6 percent)• Conservation programs: $62 billion

(6.3 percent)• Commodity support programs: $59 bil-

lion (6.0 percent)• Other programs: $5.9 billion (0.10 per-

cent)The sequestration legislation approved

by Congress earlier this year wouldreduce the spending on the new farmbill by $6.4 billion over the next 10years, putting the total spending at

$966 billion.The proposed U.S. Senate farm bill would reduce

total spending by $17.9 billion over the next 10years, and by $24.3 billion, if the sequestration cutsare included. By comparison, the U.S. House versionof the new farm bill would reduce total spending by$51.9 billion over the next decade, and by $58.3 bil-lion with the inclusion of the sequestration cuts.

Following are some of the items that will likely be

key issues and factors in reaching a compromise ona new farm bill.SNAP program provisions

Much of the focus on the new farm bill debate inCongress has centered on the Supplemental Nutri-tion Assistance Program, which includes the foodstamp program, the women, infants and childrenprogram, and the school lunch program.

Food stamps were added to the farm bill legisla-tion several decades ago, mainly because the foodstamp program is administered through U.S.Department of Agriculture. Currently, over 47 mil-lion people in the United States are on food stamps,with an average benefit of $133 per month. This wasreduced by 5 percent on Nov. 1, due to the expira-tion of federal stimulus funding. The number of per-sons on food stamps has more than doubled since2008, due to the downturn in the U.S. economy andeligibility changes.

Approximately 554,000 Minnesota residents getbenefits through the SNAP, which is about one-tenth of the state’s population. About one-third ofthose receiving the benefits are children, withanother one-fourth being elderly, and a majoritybeing in families where at least one adult earns apaycheck.

FARM PROGRAMS

By Kent Thiesse

See PROGRAMS, pg. 4B

PROGRAMS, from pg. 3BFederal standards allow food stamp

assistance to any individual who hasan income below $15,415 per year, or$26,344 for a family of three. Manystates, including Minnesota, haveopted for higher threshold income lev-els for food stamp eligibility. As refer-enced earlier, approximately 79 per-cent of the proposed funding for thenew farm bill will go to the SNAP-related programs.

One of the biggest differences in theU.S. Senate and U.S. House versions ofthe new farm bill is in the proposedfuture funding for SNAPs. This wasalso one of the main roadblocks topassing a new farm bill in the U.S.House. The new farm bill passed bythe U.S. Senate would cut the spend-ing on SNAPs by about $400 millionper year (0.5 percent), or $4 billionover 10 years. By comparison, the U.S.House proposal would cut SNAP fund-ing by about $3.9 billion per year (5.1percent), or approximately $39 billionover 10 years.

The proposed funding levels for the

SNAPs are likely to bea major “sticking point”in reaching a compro-mise on a new farm bill, as both sidesare fairly well entrenched in their posi-tions. The U.S. House also proposed totighten limitations on how variousstates administer some of the SNAPs,which were not included in the U.S.Senate farm bill.The farm ‘safety-net’ programs

The Senate version of the farm billwould give producers a one-time choiceof the Adverse Market Payment pro-gram or the revenue-based Ag RiskCoverage program.

The U.S. House farm bill would offerproducers a choice between the target-price based Price Loss Coverage pro-gram and the revenue-based RevenueLoss Coverage. The program optionsavailable in both the Senate and Houseversions would be available to produc-ers for all eligible commodities, includ-ing corn, soybeans and wheat.

The reference prices in the SenateAMP program would be adjusted annu-ally to a rate that is 55 percent of the

five-year “Olympic”national average price

for a commodity, withthe exception of rice and peanuts. Theproposed initial AMP reference priceswould be $2.83 per bushel for corn,$6.19/bu. for soybeans and $3.62/bu. forwheat. Current target price levels inthe DCP Program are $2.63/bu. forcorn, $6/bu. for soybeans and $4.17/bu.for wheat.

In the new AMP program, paymentswould be made when the 12-monthnational average price falls below thereference price for a specific commod-ity. Payments would be based on cur-rent counter-cyclical payment programyields, and would be paid on 85 percentof the farm unit’s current crop baseacreage.

By comparison, the U.S. House PLCprogram would utilize fixed crop refer-ence prices for the five-year farm bill,which are set by Congress. The PLCreference prices would be $3.70/bu. forcorn, $8.40/bu. for soybeans and $5.50bu. for wheat. PLC program yieldswould also be current CCP programyields; however, payment yields couldbe updated from current levels up to 90percent of the five-year “Olympic” aver-age farm yields for a specific crop from2008-12. In addition, the PLC paymentacres would be based on 85 percent ofthe current year planted crop acres, upto a maximum of a farm unit’s total

crop base acres.The ARC program in the Senate farm

bill would give producers a choicebetween utilizing either county-basedor farm-based five-year “Olympic” aver-age crop yields. However, the paymentrate when using farm yields would be65 percent of payment acres, as com-pared to 80 percent of payment acreswhen using county yields. The ARCbenchmark revenue would be the“Olympic” average county or farm yieldtimes the five-year “Olympic” averagenational average price for a commodity,with the revenue guarantee being setat 88 percent of the benchmark rev-enue.

ARC payments would be made whenthe actual revenue in a crop year fallsbelow the revenue guarantee, up to amaximum of 10 percent of the bench-mark revenue. The actual revenuewould be the actual farm or countyyield times the 12-month nationalaverage price for the crop marketingyear.

The Revenue Loss Coverage programoffered by the U.S. House will functionsimilarly to the U.S. Senate’s ARC pro-gram, except that the RLC programwill be on county average yields, andwill not offer a choice for farm-basedyields. The RLC benchmark revenuewill be calculated similar to ARC, with

PROGRAMS, from pg. 4Bthe RLC revenue guarantee being setat 85 percent of the benchmark rev-enue. RLC payments will be made on100 percent of planted crop acres, up toa farm unit’s total crop base acres.

RLC would use a five-month nationalaverage price to determine the actualcrop revenue in a year for a given com-modity, rather the 12-month nationalaverage price proposed in the ARC pro-gram. However, the RLC program pay-ments still would not occur until Octo-ber in the year following harvest. The12-month crop marketing year for cornand soybeans runs from Sept. 1 in theyear of harvest until Aug. 30 the follow-ing year. The five-month price starts onSept. 1 and ends on Jan. 31.

There are obviously some differencesto be worked out between the SenateAMP/ARC programs, and he U.S.House PLC/RLC programs in the con-ference committee; however, those dif-ferences appear to be quite manage-

able. The table on Page3B contains a compari-son of the various provi-sions of proposed U.S. SenateAMP/ARC and U.S. House PLC/RLCprogram proposals..Payment limits and means testing

Both the Senate and House versionsof the new farm bill would have pay-ment limits of $50,000 per individualfor the commodity program payments(listed previously), and $75,000 perindividual for gains from CommodityCredit Corp. marketing loans and loandeficiency payments. The Senate ver-sion of the farm bill would restrict pay-ments to anyone with an adjustedgross income over $750,000, while theHouse version would set the AGIthreshold at $950,000.Crop insurance

The federal crop insurance programhas been proposed to remain largelyintact with the new farm bill, withsome minor adjustments and possible

enhancements; how-ever, there are likely tobe several proposals to

alter crop insurance provisions in thenew farm bill.

Crop insurance programs have comeunder some criticism in recent months,due to the large federal cost for the

program and some eligibility require-ments. The federal government subsi-dizes about 62 percent of the annualcost of crop insurance premiums toproducers, with the farmer paying thebalance.

PROGRAMS, from pg. 5BThe government also subsidizes

large crop insurance losses, such aswith the 2012 drought.

The Senate farm bill would link conservation com-pliance to the purchase of federal crop insurance, aprovision that is not included in the house farm bill.Some would like to see the crop insurance subsidy

reduced, while others would like iteliminated for farmers above

$750,000 AGI, or see limits placed oncrop insurance benefits that a producer can receive.Another proposal has been to put more restrictionson the harvest price option from revenue protectioncrop insurance coverage, which could increase thefinancial risk to farmers. Many activist groups andsome members of Congress are pushing for changes

in the crop insurance program.Bottom line

There are also many differences in dairy supportprograms, conservation programs and other pro-grams to be worked out in the conference committee.Another major difference in the two versions of thefarm bill is that the House farm bill would end thepermanent farm legislation, which dates back to the1938 and 1949 farm bills, which was not addressedin the Senate farm bill.

This measure is strongly opposed by most farmorganizations, who want to make sure there is somecontinuation to farm “safety-net” programs for thefuture.

Will there be a compromise farm bill that comesout of the conference committee? There are certainlyreasons that this could become reality. However,there are some major legislative and philosophicaldifferences that need to be worked out, especiallyrelated to the SNAP funding and program provi-sions. Even if a new farm bill passes out of the con-ference committee, it must then be passed by boththe full U.S. Senate and the U.S. House, which couldbe difficult to achieve. There is some possibility thata new farm bill could somehow be linked to federalbudget legislation later this year, or in early 2014.

Of course, if no agreement can be reached on a newfarm bill by the end of 2013, there is always the pos-sibility that the current farm bill could be extendedfor another one or two years.

AND NORTHERN IOWADAIRY PRODUCERS

This column was writtenfor the marketing week end-ing Nov. 1.

The October federal orderClass III benchmark milkprice is $18.22 per hundred-weight, up 8 cents from Sep-tember but $2.80 belowOctober 2012, $1.40 aboveCalifornia’s comparable 4bcheese milk price, andequates to about $1.57 pergallon. That brought the2013 Class III average to$17.82, up from $16.98 in 2012 andcompares to $18.25 in 2011 and $14.36in 2010.

Class III futures were trading lateFriday morning at $18.86 for Novem-ber and $18.35 for December. Thatwould result in a 2013 average of$17.94, up from $17.44 a year ago andcompares to $18.37 in 2011.

The October Class IV price is $20.17,up 74 cents from September and $1.63above a year ago. The 2013 averagenow stands at $18.66, up from $15.56in 2012 and $19.38 in 2011.

The product averages used in calcu-lating the Class milk prices had cheeseaveraging $1.8025 per pound, up 0.6cent from September. Butter averaged$1.5454, up 11.9 cents. Nonfat dry milkaveraged $1.8366, up 2.8 cents, and drywhey averaged 57.31 cents/lb., downfractionally.

California’s 4b cheese milk price is$16.82/cwt., up 17 cents from Septem-ber but $2.61 below October 2012. Thatput the 2013 4b average at $16.17, upfrom $15.16 at this time a year ago andcompares to $16.41 in 2011.

The 4a butter-powder milk price is$20, up 53 cents from September $2.04above a year ago. Its 2013 average nowstands at $18.44, up from 15.18 a yearago and compares to $19.15 in 2011.

The dairy markets had a lot to absorbthis week, including the Cold Storage,Livestock Slaughter, and Ag Pricesreports, plus anticipating Friday after-noon’s September Milk Production report.

Cash block cheese was upfor the fifth consecutive weekthe last week of October, clos-ing that Friday at $1.9025/lb.,up 2.75 cents on the week but20.75 cents below a year ago.The barrels finished at $1.87,up a nickel on the week and21 cents below a year ago.Nine cars of block and onlythree of barrel traded handson the week. The AgriculturalMarketing Service-surveyedU.S. average block price hit

$1.7980, up 0.9 cent. Barrel averaged$1.80, up 3.1 cents.

■

Cheese production is active in theface of tighter milk supplies, accordingto the Dairy Market News. “Demand isgood enough for plants to look for addi-tional milk, but price and availabilityare hindering deal making.” Competi-tion from Class II manufacturers foravailable milk is restricting access toadditional spot loads for cheese, accord-ing to the DMN.

Some plants are reconstituting non-fat dry milk and purchasing cream tobolster production schedules. Seasonaldemand is good as retailers look tosecure additional supplies for theupcoming holidays. Adding to thedemand is current good export order-ing, the DMN said.

Cash butter reversed three weeks oflosses, thanks to the Thanksgiving holi-day ahead and the Cold Storage data,and closed Friday at $1.5325, up 5.75cents on the week but still 35.5 centsbelow a year ago. Nine cars traded handson the week. The AMS butter averagewas $1.5239/lb., down 4.4 cents.

Butter production varies by region,being active in the West and Northeastbut slower in the Central Region, accord-ing to the DMN. Continued strongorders are driving western and North-east production. Inventories in thoseregions are also being used to meetorders but Central manufacturers report

MIELKE, from pg. 7Bthat orders from retailers are slower than expected.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed Friday at$1.91, up a penny, and Extra Grade held all week at$1.85. AMS powder averaged $1.8457, up 0.3 cent.Dry whey averaged 56.04 cents, down 1.1 cent.

Speaking of inventory, there’s plenty on hand,according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s lat-est Cold Storage report. Sept. 30 butter stockstotaled 233.25 million pounds, down a nice 30.7 mil-lion pounds or 12 percent from August but 37.4 mil-lion pounds or 19 percent above September 2012.

American cheese, at 661.27 million pounds, is down7.1 million pounds or 1 percent from August but 19.6million pounds or 3 percent above a year ago. Thetotal cheese inventory hit 1.071 billion pounds, down2.9 million pounds or 3 percent from August but 31.7million pounds or 3 percent above a year ago.

FC Stone risk management specialist Chris Hilde-brand said the report was “neutral to slightly bullishfor cheese,” and provided more bullish news for but-ter. “Both the fundamentals and some technicals areworking in favor of the upside.”

Milk supplies are described as tight nationally,according to the DMN. Milk production in the Southis beginning to show signs of improving with coolertemperatures and new feed supplies. Midwest outputis mostly steady with higher components beingreported, and California output is recovering fromSeptember’s heatwave and component levels areshowing improvements.

September milk production in the top 23 dairystates totaled 14.8 billion pounds, up 1.1 percentfrom September 2012, according to preliminary datain the USDA’s latest Milk Production report issuedNov. 1. This is the first report to again include milkcow numbers and output per cow since the sequester.Output in the 50 states totaled 15.8 billion pounds,up 1 percent from a year ago. Revisions lowered theoriginal August total to 15.7 billion pounds, up 2.5percent from August 2012.

The July-to-September quarter output amounted to49.4 billion pounds, up 1.5 percent from a year ago.The average number of milk cows during the quarterwas 9.23 million head, up 16,000 from the sameperiod last year.

September cow numbers totaled 8.51 million head,down 19,000 from August but 33,000 more than ayear ago. Output per cow averaged 1,741 pounds, up12 pounds from a year ago.

■

Looking state-by-state, California output was upjust 0.4 percent though cow numbers were up 1,000head and output per cow was up 5 pounds. Wisconsinsaw a 1-percent increase thanks to a 15-pound-per-cow gain and 1,000 more cows being milked.

Idaho was down 1.5 percent on 9,000 fewer cows.

Internationally, milk production in most countriesis approaching seasonal low points of the productionyear. Volumes are mostly higher than year-ago levels,continuing the trend that started during the summer.

Australian milk production is at or near the sea-sonal peak. Current production is trending 1 to 2percent below last year, but industry analysts fore-cast year-end totals to be about level with last year.New Zealand milk output is near the seasonal peakwith estimates of a 4-percent increase over last year.

The first public meeting for the 2013 farm bill confer-ence committee was held this week. The National MilkProducers Federation stated in a press release that “forAmerica’s dairy farmers, this is no time for a game ofcongressional trick or treat. The final product mustprovide farmers real stability, and not be a costumeddisguise that masks the serious problems that willresult if the House dairy program were enacted.”

The federation praised the Senate’s Dairy SecurityAct as “the only option that will provide help tofarmers when they need it most, while also limitingtaxpayers’ exposure through its market stabilizationmechanism.

“In contrast, the proposal that finally emergedfrom the House is a bad trick: it would be fiscallyirresponsible and ineffective. Lacking the Senate’smarket stabilization program, the House approachwould cause farmers to suffer prolonged periods ofpoor margins, while taxpayers subsidize dairyprocessors through artificially-low milk prices.”

The International Dairy Foods Association reportsthat the four principal conferees, Senate AgricultureChairwoman Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., Ranking

MIELKE, from pg. 10BMember Thad Cochran, R-Miss., House Committeeon Agriculture Chairman Frank Lucas, R-Okla., andRanking Member Collin Peterson, D-Minn., areexpected to meet in the coming weeks to determine ifa general agreement can be reached on the major dif-ferences between the House and Senate bills. No fur-ther meetings of the committee have beenannounced at this time, and the House of Represen-tatives will not be in session again until Nov. 12.

IDFA “strongly encourages the conference commit-tee to accept the House dairy language and toinclude its provisions in the final bill,” according toan IDFA press release. “Milk prices would signifi-cantly increase and jobs will be lost if the Senateprevails over the House on this issue. The conferenceshould follow the lead of the House, which rejectedthis controversial new dairy program to impose milkquotas on dairy farmers.”

■

California dairy producers and lawmakers arefrustrated with their agriculture secretary. Sen. TomBerryhill, R-Modesto, who sits on the Senate agricul-ture committee and is a Stanislaus County farmer,told Western United Dairymen, “I thought we didcome to an agreement with the Dairy Institute abouta dairy pricing mechanism that would allow my guysto stay in business.”

Referring to fellow ag committee members Sen.Anthony Cannella, R-Ceres, and Chair Cathleen Gal-ginai, D-Stockton, Berryhill said, “the three of usthought there was an agreement. On the processorside they did not want to give anything. I thought it(the deal) was a happy middle ground. We allthought we had a deal that day and were very sur-prised to come back (after summer recess) and findeverything had fallen out.”

Berryhill said that Secretary Karen Ross “hasmade her decision to kick this can down the road toJune. We will have to live with that and it will put usback to the drawing board. We will have to sit downand talk some more.

“The industry’s current financial crisis is driven inpart by federal mandates on ethanol which are driv-ing feed prices to record highs,” Berryhill said. “Feedprices will continue high for the near future or so.This industry’s dynamics have changed.” Lookingahead, Berryhill remains committed to finding asolution. “Kicking that can down the road doesn’thelp anyone.”

The Milk Producer’s Council’s Rob Vandenheuvelwrote in his Oct. 24 newsletter that “obviously, giventhe current financial state of the California dairyfamilies (as evidenced in CDFA’s own data, as well asthe barrage of bank foreclosures and dispersal sales),there is ample evidence that CDFA has failed intheir task to bring about and maintain a reasonableamount of stability and prosperity in the productionof market milk.

“If this were a national crisis, we might under-stand. But the rest of the country is not feeling thesame pain that California’s dairy farmers are. Howis it that the California dairy industry, in the middleof 38-plus million California residents and an even

larger market overseas to the West, is the home ofthe lowest priced milk in the country? Why are ourdairies being enticed to move to Colorado, Idaho,South Dakota, Kansas and other more rural areas?”The three major California cooperatives are workingon a petition to submit to the USDA that would cre-ate a federal milk marketing rrder in California.

DairyBusiness Weekly reports that the November2013 California Dairy Review provided an update on

four working groups of the California Dairy FuturesTask Force, created by CDFA Secretary Ross.Details are detailed in DBW and posted on theCDFA website.
