Still-green bean pods cling to a soybean plant damaged by the Sept. 13 frost in a field south of Mapleton, Minn.

Like everyone else I suspect, electionyear politics are rapidly clogging my braincells. That perhaps is why I also rapidlyquit paying attention to much of the dog-gerel dumped upon us. But yet it is bothmy duty, and perhaps my privilege, totune in to the messages of these would-besaviors of my nation, my state, and evenmy local school district.

A few years back I bridged the age 65barrier. That now happens to about 10,000Americans every day. Amongst the 322million U.S. inhabitants, we elders nownumber about 40 million. And we con-trol the bulk of the spending power ofour country. So we seniors should bebuilding considerable political clout. But are we?

We have some issues especiallywith the younger generationsbehind us. I’m making reference tothe Baby Boomer Generation (Born1946 to 1964) and the MillennialGeneration (Born 1981 to early2000s). By the time every Boomer iscollecting Social Security andMedicare, those two programs areprojected to be eating up about halfour entire federal budget — andboth will likely be broke.

That’s because, according to thePew Research Center, the ratio oftaxpayers to retirees will have fallen to its lowestever level, about 2-to-1. When Social Security firstwent into effect the ratio was more than 20-to-1.

The Millennials are our most diverse generationever. More than four in 10 are nonwhite, many thechildren of the great wave of Hispanic and Asianimmigrants who began arriving a half century ago.Compared with we elders, Millennials are politicalliberals, digital wizards and not particularly reli-gious. They’re slow to marry and have kids, andthey’re broke says the Pew report.

Add these painful realities. Many Boomers haven’tsaved enough for retirement. It’s looking even worsefor the Millennials. They have lower income, lesswealth, higher unemployment, and greater debt thanthe Boomers had at the same life stage. They’re atrisk of being the first generation in American historyto have a lower standard of living than their parentsenjoyed.

Pay attention to the hard political bargainingahead. Social Security and Medicare need to bebrought into sync with the demographics of the 21stcentury. And that logically means some combination

of cuts in benefits and tax increases.That’s the bloody reality of what’s ahead.For certain, the longer political leadersshrink from this challenge, the more bur-den falls onto the young, who are alreadyfated to get the worst deal of any genera-tion from Social Security and Medicare.A few suggestions

Permit me to indulge in a bit of politicalfantasy. It’s certainly the season. Roamingaround in cyberspace is something calledthe Congressional Reform Act of 2014.Chew on some of these suggestions:

1. No tenure/no pension. A Congressper-son collects a salary while in office and

receives no pay when out of office.2. Congress (past, present &

future) participates in Social Secu-rity. All funds in the Congressionalretirement fund move to the SocialSecurity system immediately. Allfuture funds flow into Social Secu-rity and Congress participates withthe American people. It may not beused for any other purpose.

3. Congress can purchase theirown retirement plan, just as allAmericans do.

4. Congress can no longer votethemselves a pay raise. Congres-

sional pay will rise by the lowest number — the Con-sumer Price Index or three percent. The current CPIis 2.6 percent.

5. Congress loses their current health care systemand participates in the same health care system asthe American people.

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws theyimpose on the American people.

7. All contracts with past and present Congressper-sons are void effective Dec. 1, 2014. The Americanpeople did not make this contract with Congressper-sons. Congress made these contracts for themselves.Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. TheFounding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, soours should serve their term(s), then go home andback to work.

It’s obvious that socialism is rapidly becoming themainstream of American politics. And with thattrend, we’re seeing some obvious conundrums. Here’sa sampling: America is capitalistic and greedy, yethalf the population is subsidized. Half the population

There are facts on which the worldoperates and there are facts on whichpolitics operate. Spoiler alert: the twoare not the same.

For example, key Republicans in boththe United States House and Senatehave fought every effort this year toallow Congress a vote to increase thefederal minimum wage from $7.25 anhour to $10.10.

Outside the political hothouse of Wash-ington, D.C., however, several state andfederal Republican office seekers thisyear (including those in Arkansas,Alaska and Nebraska) strongly favorraising the base wage earned by atleast 3.6 million Americans.

What’s more, Americans overwhelmingly approveraising the minimum wage when given the chanceto have their say. According to the Sept. 16 WallStreet Journal, “Since 2002, wage increases haveappeared on the ballot 10 times, in nine states, withvoters opting to raise the wage every time, usuallyby lopsided margins.” So why haven’t these on-the-ground voter facts penetrated the up-in-the-airpolitical fog of Capitol Hill?

A big part of the reason may be that, oftentimes,voters out here are just as foggy-headed as theirpoliticians out there. On Sept. 16 and 17 The NewYork Times carried three — three! — stories thathighlight this “say-what?” phenomena.

First, on its Sept. 17 front page, the Times reportsthat the percentage of Kentuckians without healthcare insurance dropped from 20.4 percent to 11.9percent in the first year of the Affordable Care Act,or Obamacare.

One of the newly insured is Robin Evans, explainsthe Times, “an eBay warehouse packer earning $9an hour” who, “after years of going uninsured andrarely seeing doctors” is now “being treated for highblood pressure and Graves’ disease, an autoimmunedisorder.”

Evans is “tickled to death” with her new healthinsurance, she says, and with her daughter’s newcoverage because she “also qualified for Medicaidunder the law.”

But, the Times goes on to report, Evans is not sotickled as to change her political stripes: She “…saidshe would vote this fall for Senator Mitch McConnell,the Kentucky Republican and Senate minority leader,

who is fond of saying the health care lawshould be ‘pulled out root and branch.’”

Why would the chronically-ill, low-wageearning eBay employee vote against herand her family’s taxpayer-subsidized healthcare coverage by voting for a senator whopromises to do everything he can to kill it?

The Times website holds part of the answer.On Sept. 16, a newly released poll from the

Times showed that among “all likely voters”in the upcoming November mid-term elec-tions, 45 percent would vote for Republicancandidates and 39 percent for Democratic

candidates even as the same people gavecongressional Republicans a dismal 19 per-

cent approval rating compared to a better,but still-poor 30 percent for congressional Democrats.

Yeah, go figure.Americans often stand facts on their head when

those facts stand in the way of where we’re going orwhat we believe. Take the disconnect between theendlessly trumpeted “Feed the World” mantra ofAmerican farm and livestock groups and what, infact, the world actually needs.

As detailed by a United Nations report Sept. 16(and faithfully reported by the Times later that day),“More than 800 million people worldwide do not getenough to eat, even as the world produces more thantwice as much food as it needs…”

That’s right, it goes on to explain, “Feeding theworld is no longer a question of growing more food.The Food and Agriculture Organization, one of thethree agencies that produced the report, says theworld produces twice the amount of food that thepopulation needs. The problem is poverty.”

So will American farmers rethink export-basedUnited States farm policies that already supply morefood than the world’s hungry cannot eat becausethey cannot afford it?

Nope. And that’s a fact.Here’s another: our political leaders aren’t lost;

they’re following us.Alan Guebert’s “Farm and Food File” is published

weekly in more than 70 newspapers in North Amer-ica. Contact him at [email protected] columns, news and events are posted atwww.farmandfoodfile.com. ❖

We’re hearing about Social Security running out ofmoney. Why do we never hear about welfare or foodstamps running out of money? What’s interesting isthe first group worked for their money, but the sec-ond didn’t.

Why are we cutting benefits for our veterans, nopay raises for our military, and cutting our army to alevel lower than before World War II, but we are notstopping payments or benefits to illegal aliens? Theannual salary of House and Senate members is$174,000 for life. The average salary of a teacher is$40,965. The average salary of a deployed soldier is

$38,000. Makes you wonder who is doing the math.But harvest is here. Hopefully many of you will be

pleasantly surprised with good yields. So stay posi-tive despite the financial squeeze of $3 corn. Illinoisat 198 bushels per acre is projected to be the King ofCorn this season. Considering the season many ofyou labored through this year, let’s hope that pro-jected 174-bushels-per-acre yield for Minnesota isn’ttainted with another wet corn harvest.

I noticed lots of totally green soybean fields drivingto Clay County Fair in Spencer, Iowa, on Sept. 10.Much sunshine and no frost ’til mid-October is badlyneeded. Unfortunately, there was a bit of frost hereand there the morning of Sept. 13.

We have a great country. Yes, it’s getting a bit tar-nished these days, but let’s have faith in our politicalsystem and our November election. America is stillthe home of the brave and the land of the free, evenif the people who work for a living are outnumberedby those who vote for a living.

The number of youngfarmers is trending mod-estly upwards, according tothe 2012 Ag Census released earlier this year. Young,beginning principal operators who reported theirprimary occupation as farming increased 11.3 per-cent from 36,396 to 40,499 between 2007 and 2012.

This increase in new blood is a welcome sight for asector that has grown long in the teeth in recentyears. But if we hope to continue this trend, strongfarm policy is key.

Our farmers, particularly young farmers, faceexceptional risks in today’s environment. In additionto the unpredictability of Mother Nature, youngfarmers starting out are also facing higher inputcosts and lower crop prices, unprecedented globalsubsidization, regulatory burdens, and vocal oppo-nents determined to weaken the farm safety net.

The 2014 farm billtook an importantstep in helping begin-ning farmers, bymaking crop insur-ance more affordablefor their risk man-agement portfoliosand by developingnew insurance toolsfor a wide array ofcrops.

The bill alsoincluded importantpolicies that will helpcushion the fall ifcommodity pricesdrastically drop — asmany have done in2014.

Other improvements to promote beginning farm-ers and ranchers include the Beginning Farmer andRancher Development Program which funds farmereducation programs. The new farm bill also makescredit more available for beginning farmers througha microloan program.

The fact that the number of young farmers hasstarted trending upwards is a positive developmentthat hasn’t been seen in a number of years. But thismodest increase is not nearly large enough to offsetthe number of farmers rapidly approaching retire-ment age.

These emerging farmers and ranchers — and thoseconsidering a career in agriculture — need to knowthey have the tools to succeed. Certainly, theseyoung farmers have a lot of passion and heart, butthat doesn’t do you a lot of good when you’re suffer-

ing from a flood, a drought or volatile price swingsfor commodities on the world market.

The new farm bill makes not only an investment inthese dedicated individuals, but a down payment on

the future of this nation’s food security.This commentary was submitted by Farm Policy

For Minnesota and northern Iowa farmers, thefrost in the early morning hours of Sept. 13 wasanother setback in a tough growing season. Whilethere may be a small yield loss in corn and soy-beans, growers associations report that frost dam-age was patchy.

“What we’ve seen and heard is it’s quite spottyand variable in geography and genetics,” said DanLemke, communications director for the MinnesotaSoybean Growers Association.

Information released by University of MinnesotaExtension supports that assessment. While frostaffected many corn and soybean fields in central,west central and southwest Minnesota, the damageappeared to be highly variable based on local cli-mate conditions, crop maturity and topographicalfeatures, reported Extension agronomists.

For soybeans, most reports to Extension officesindicated that the soybean crop was nipped slightlyat the tops or in rare cases frozen down into thecanopy. A mild September would have helped plantsreach full maturity since many fields were plantedlate or replanted due to excessive rain.

Based on survey work and anecdotal information,MSGA estimates that the frost will cause a 5-10 per-cent yield loss statewide.

Paul Meints, research programs manager, wasscouting fields for the association on Sept. 18. Meintswaited a couple days for the leaves to burn down inorder to better view the impact. Between Mankatoand Janesville, Minn., the fields looked bad, he said.

Lemke heard from one soybean grower in Argyle,Minn., who is estimating a 20 percent yield loss.

On a positive note, the plants are not completelydead, but when the upper leaves get zapped, theywill not reach the full potential due to the loss ofphotosynthetic capabilities. In addition, some soy-

bean plants are more cold hardy than others becauseof genetics, said Lemke.

“Early frost is never a good thing. The last coupleyears, we haven’t had what you call a normal springplanting. Having Jack Frost stay away a little longerthan he did would have helped us reach maximumpotential. Some folks did escape, but others not somuch,” Lemke said.Minnesota corn

It appears that Minnesota corn was not as vulner-able as soybeans to the frost.

“In talking to a bunch of different farmers, theydon’t seem overly concerned that it affected theircorn crops. They are more concerned about soy-beans,” said Adam Czech, public relations managerof the Minnesota Corn Growers Association.

Corn planted later might take a hit, but Czech saidthat until harvest we won’t know the answer to yieldloss. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Sept. 12crop report estimated the Minnesota corn yield at170 bushels per acre. A lot of farmers think thatnumber is overly optimistic, he said.

“No one will know for sure until they start harvest-ing what the frost might have done. The edges of thefield might have gotten it worse than the middle ofthe fields,” said Czech.

How frost impacts soybeansYield impacts to crops is affected by three main factors — thedevelopmental stage of the crop, how cold it got, and durationof the lowest temperature, reportedIowa State University Extension.

Generally speaking, temperaturesbelow 30 F for an extended periodof time is needed to kill the entiresoybean plant. Yield will not beaffected once the physiologicalmaturity has been reached.

Most soybean fields in north central Iowa are inthe R6 (full seed) to R7 (beginning maturity)stage. Soybean at R6 could potentially lose 50percent of yield if the entire plant is killed. At R7, the potentialyield loss could be five percent, again if the entire plant iskilled. Without a killing frost, yield loss potential is moredifficult to estimate.

A bigger concern might be the premature death — from frost ordisease pathogens — of the plant before grain dry down begins.Crops killed prematurely tend to be of higher grain moisture,take longer to dry, and often have slightly lower test weight.These issues can lead to harvest, grain drying and storagechallenges that will need to be addressed in the near future.

FROST, from 6AIowa corn

Corn and soybean producer Dean Meyer farms inLyons County, just west of Rock Rapids, Iowa, and isDistrict 1 director for the Iowa Corn Growers Associa-tion. He said the frost affected some of his fields andnot others. Throughout the area, he saw the samespotty effects with low-lying areas hit hardest.

“It isn’t all over, but it’s very evident,” said Meyer ofthe frost damage.

Meyer had been waiting to chop a corn field forsilage, but the moisture was too high, at 65 percent.Within four to five days of the frost, the moisturedropped to 57 percent. His target was 60 percent. Thefrost sped up the drying process for the leaves so hechopped the corn Sept. 18.

“Normally this is the time we chop, but everythingwas grass green two weeks ago. After the frost, thetop half of the stalk turned white. The plant itselfdries down really fast when it freezes. The leaves getdry and crisp,” said Meyer.

When it comes to the corn kernel or grain, a freezeslows down the drying process.

“Historically when it freezes prematurely, it willslow down the natural drying process of the corn. Ittakes more time for it to dry down and it can damagethe test weight a little bit,” he said. “Hot and drywindy days will help.”

It’s tough to tell how the yield will be affected.“We could lose a little bit on the top end for the

bushel,” Meyer said.Iowa soybeans

Iowa State University Extension reported themorning of Sept. 13 saw temperatures as low as 30 Fin north central Iowa, causing light frost damage tothe uppermost leaves on soybean. Reports to Exten-sion offices generally indicate only the top few inchesof the soybean plants were affected.

Meyer’s predictions for his soybean plants may notbe scientific, but they’re rooted in experience. He saidthat prior to the frost, the soybean plants lookedpretty good with plenty of moisture.

“That frost that night changed the beans; you cansee it,” he said.

The top pods of the bean plants were just filling out,but the frost froze them.

“That’s where the extra bushels are. We will losesome of that, so 1 to 3 bushels an acre,” said Meyer.“We don’t know anything ’til it’s in the combine andthe bin. I’m just going by experience.”

Here are some ways that frost canaffect your fields and yields.Soybeans

Soybeans are at the beginning of theR6 stage when one pod at one of thefour top nodes contains green seedsthat totally fill the pod cavity. Thenodes are the locations on the stemwhere a pod or cluster of pods isattached. Killing the crop at the R6stage, could result in as much as 50percent yield loss. We have plenty ofsoybeans in the area that are not thisfar along yet.

At the R6.5 stage, pods all the way tothe top of the plant are filled withgreen seeds that totally fill the pod. Atthis point 85 percent of the crop mightbe made and killing the plant couldresult in a yield loss of about 15 per-cent. Yields on many fields havealready been limited by late plantingand wet weather.

At R7, one normal pod on the mainstem has reached a mature pod color.Fifty percent or more of the leavesmight be yellow at this time. At thispoint of physiological maturity, 100percent of the potential yield should bethere.

I’ve watched soybeans in previousyears where plants were totally greenprior to frost and at or near the R6.5stage. Where pods stayed green after

the frost, they should have a fairlygood chance of ripening to a yellowcolor with favorable weather. Time willtell. Where fields or parts of fields hada golden brown color at the time offrost, soybeans were likely close to fullyield compared to fields and parts offields where green leaves froze.Corn

Corn clues might be gained from anarticle posted by University of Min-nesota Extension corn agronomist JeffCoulter titled, “Yield and Harvest Con-siderations for Frost Damaged Corn.”

The future of the corn crop is deter-mined by the extent of frost damage toleaves, stalk, ear shank and kernels. Ifthe shank and kernel connection isstill alive, nutrients can still move tothe kernels from the stalk and anyremaining green leaf material. If theshank connection is killed by frost, itwill start to discolor and might have aspoiled smell within a few days to aweek after the frost. If the kernel con-nection is killed, a premature black-layer will start to form inside the ker-nel tip from four to five days to a weekor so after the frost. In this case, blacklayer is a poor indicator of kernel orplant moisture.

When the stalks and leaves are dam-aged by frost for corn in the doughstage, there might be a silage yield lossof 30 percent or a grain yield loss of 66

percent. If only the leaves are damaged,the grain loss might be 41 percent. Ifyou’re able to combine grain, the testweight could be less than 47 pounds.

In the dent stage, where stalks andleaves are damaged, there might be acorn silage loss of 21 percent or a grainloss of 55 percent. If only the leaves areruined, there might be a 23 percentgrain loss. The test weight might be inthe 47 pound range.

At 3/4 milk line, corn killed by frostcould have a silage loss of 15 percentor a grain loss of 35 percent. If only theleaves are damaged, a grain loss ofabout 18 percent is expected and thetest weight could land around 50pounds. At half milk line, corn withleaves and stalks damaged by frostmight have a silage loss of 5 percent ora grain yield loss of 10 percent. Cornwith only leaves killed at half milk linemight have a 5 percent grain loss anda 53 pound test weight if dried prop-erly. At half milk line, yield and mar-

ket quality for grain can still turn outwell.

How fast can we expect frozenimmature corn to dry down? Thegrain moisture at dent stage is about60 percent. With typical drying ratesstarting at Sept. 15, this corn graincould still be 38 percent moisture onNov. 1. By contrast, corn grain at halfmilk line on Sept. 15 would have ker-nel moisture at about 40 percent. Ifkilled by frost at half milk line onSept. 15, with drying rates based onaverage weather, this corn grain couldbe 25 percent moisture on Oct. 6.

Typical grain moisture loss per daySept. 26-Oct. 5 is 0.5 to 0.75 percent;Oct. 6-15, 0.25 to 0.5 percent; Oct. 16-31, 0 to 0.33 percent; and after Oct. 31very little. Obviously weather condi-tions are a major factor.

MANKATO, Minn. — Some farmersjust aren’t going to get a break this grow-ing season. An early frost a week ago isanother hit they’ve had to weather.

Kent Thiesse, a farm analyst andvice president at MinnStar Bank,described the impact of the frost as“checkerboard” from field to field. Hesaid the impact from plant to plantwas largely dependent on the geogra-phy and amount of moisture presentwhen temperatures dropped.

“It doesn’t matter in the bigger(national) picture,” Thiesse said. “But itcould have a big impact on the (regionalcrops) depending on whether it wasenough of a kill frost for some fields.”

The temperature drop came at aninconvenient time for Minnesotafarmers, who are hoping to grow theircrops into early October. They areseeking a late harvest because heavyrains last spring seriously delayed orkilled crops in the region.

The heaviest impacted farms are

largely in Sibley and Le Sueur counties.Amboy farmer Gary Eisenmenger said

the lowest portions of his field got coldenough to freeze plants to the ground.

Eisenmenger is not waiting onreplanted crops like many otherregional farmers because his floodedfields stayed wet too long for a retry.But even his remaining healthy cropsof soybean and corn were struggling tomature because of the summer’s

unusually cool and wet weather.“Our plants weren’t as mature. So,

the frost significantly slows down thematuring process. That’s why the frostis a much bigger event than it shouldbe,” Eisenmenger said.

Randy Rieke, general manager forthe Farmers Co-op of Hanska, said heis expecting a widespread impactbecause of the frost’s impact on imma-ture plants. He said many farmers are

struggling to find enough time fortheir plants to grow, even in areas lessimpacted earlier in the year.

He said the issue would be particu-larly important because he expectsmost Minnesota farmers to store themajority of their harvest, especiallycorn crops, in hopes that next springwill bring higher prices. He said theoverwhelmingly large yields projectedfor the rest of the country is drivingdown crops prices to new lows.

“The immature plants can have moreproblems with long-term storage.”

Eisenmenger said the frost is not aninsurmountable challenge, but it willtake time to overcome.

“Mother Nature. Ha. She holds all ofthe cards. All this technology we havecan easily be trumped. You can doeverything right and Mother Naturecan still kick you where it hurts,”Eisenmenger said. “But when MotherNature cooperates, it’s wonderful.”

Iowa can’t claim to be the statewith the most wind power in termsof total production, but on a percapita ranking the Hawkeye Stateis No. 1 in the nation.

Texas leads the United States,currently generating enough windenergy to power 3.3 million homes.According to a report from the American WindEnergy Association, Iowa produced enough electric-ity to power 1.4 million homes last year. Iowa nowreceives about 27 percent of its total energy fromwind generation, placing it first in the nation. Iowahas 5,117 megawatts of installed wind energycapacity with 1,055 megawatts under construction.

The report ranks Iowa third in the nation in num-ber of jobs — nearly 7,000 direct and indirect — tiedto wind generation. Iowa wind companies includeSiemens and TPI Composites, the maker of turbineblades, and Trinity Structural Towers, the maker oftowers. According to AWEA, Iowa landownersreceive about $16 million annually in lease pay-ments for wind generation.

Turbine size continues to rise. During an energy-focused day at the Clay County Fair in Spencer,Iowa, Al Zeitz, manager of renewable energy serv-ices, at Iowa Lakes Electric Cooperative inEstherville, reported most new turbines beinginstalled are now between 2 and 3 megawatt units.And the price goes up too.

“Probably like $3 million to $4 million per turbine,”Zeitz said.

General Electric has the biggest market share ofthis wind industry resource in America, according toZeitz.

The wind farms sprouting across the landscape areowned by various entities. Several community-owned wind farms have been installed, as well as

farmer-owned wind farms, said Zeitz. Some windfarms are owned by investor groups who make theinitial investment, but in 10 years the wind farmbecomes the property of the land owners. That’scalled the Minnesota Flip, he said.

The Minnesota Flip is a business model developedto allow investors to take advantage of federal taxcredits, while providing local owners the economicbenefits of ownership.

The bulk of wind farms are owned by big-moneyenergy firms. Developments of these multimilliondollar wind farms are specific to locations withdependable wind resources — Montana, NorthDakota, western Minnesota, and a corridor feedingdown into northwest Iowa represent the majority ofnew wind in the nation.

Wind energy has a strong booster in Iowa. Busi-ness magnate Warren Buffet is investing $2 billionin Iowa wind farms in 2014 and 2015.

On the bigger wind farms, groups of 50 to 100 windturbines are now common.

When developing a wind farm, it is important tohave a buyer for your power and transmission linesto move the energy to market.

“In this area of northwest Iowa, most of the trans-mission lines are already at capacity. So to expandour wind power we need to build new power lines,”said Zeitz.

Wind power has to compete against other low-costpower sources such as natural gas and coal. He alsosaid that most wind projects are financed on thebasis of about a 10-year payback.

Some activists continue a drumbeat against windpower.

“Overall the general public is in favor of developingwind and renewable energy. People are seeing thedifferent values. There’s an environmental value anda financial value especially to small communitieswhere these projects have been installed,” said Zeitz.

Renewable energy on the farm A wind and solar energy hybrid system at Phil

Sundblad’s corn and soybean farm near Albert City,Iowa, showcases the sustainable nature of renewableenergy. Sundblad installed a hybrid system of solarpanels and a turbine on his farm last February.

“As electricity prices continue to rise this hybrid ofwind and solar power look good,” said Sundblad.

Zeitz is a proponent of hybrid systems like the oneSundblad installed on his farm.

“Because the cost of solar has come down consider-ably, it’s now very cost effective. We’re now seeing alot of small solar packages being installed,” saidZeitz.

Sundblad said the two systems complement eachother because of the changing variability of eachsource of energy during the season.

“Typically during the summer we’re getting lots ofsolar energy generated; on cloudy, windy days myturbine is doing the job. That’s especially the situa-tion in fall, winter, early spring,” Sundblad said.

Down the road, there will bebatteries for storage of thispower when it’s not beingneeded.

“We’re not there yet withaffordable batteries for theindividual farmer or home-owner. But for bigger facilities,one-megawatt storage batteries arenow being used. Hawaii and Californiaare two states where big money isbeing invested in big capacity storagebatteries,” said Zeitz.

One Canadian facility has tied atwo-megawatt battery bank with a 10-megawatt wind farm, Zeitz said.

Net metering with the local utilitybuying back excess electrical energyfrom an individual’s turbine exists, butvaries greatly from state to state. Min-nesota has a 39-kilowatt limit. Thelocal utility providing electricity to afarmer must pay back to the farmer atretail rates extra kilowatts that he isnot using up to a maximum of 39 kWper month.

In Iowa the excess energy ispurchased at a rate set by thegeneration of transmissioncooperatives.

“In Iowa we transform thosekilowatts into cash which iscarried forth as a credit,” saidZeitz.

“We’re not banking kilowatts;we’re banking dollars,” said Sundblad.

Sundblad’s system includes five 30kW solar trackers that rotate followingthe sun from daybreak to sunset. Thesefive units produce about 53,234 kWhours per year. His system alsoincludes a 100-foot-tall, grid-tiedBergey Excel 6 wind turbine which canproduce 13,594 kW hours per year.

Installed by Wind & Solar Specialistsof Alta, Iowa, this hybrid system willgenerate an estimated output of 66,828kW hours annually.

Any extra electricity not used on thefarm goes into the grid. Sundblad canexpect a five- to seven-year payback onhis system. ❖

Small wind turbines are becoming attractive to farm-ers, because the investment in this green energy sourceis compensated with savings in electricity, tax creditincentives and accelerated depreciation schedules.

Glenn Rohlik of rural Seaforth, Minn., installed hisfirst Ventera Wind system, a 10-kilowatt unit, in March.

“It’s working awesome. The first three months didover 2,000 kW per month. It’s cranking out about 76kW per day. I’m so pleased I’m putting in two morenext month,” he said.

Rohlik is a big electrical user, with five finishing hogbarns running lots of fans especially during hotweather. Even so, he’s metered back to his local utility1610 kWs at five cents along with what his turbinehas provided for his own use. His system cost about$65,000, but a 30 percent federal tax credit and accel-erated depreciation schedules will help offset the cost.

Aaron Busse of Minnesota Renewable Energies saidthat farmers are interested in wind energy, becausewind is a resource they can harvest year-round.

“You continue to harvest. It’s not like one crop perseason. Electricity is one of the bigger costs of farm-ing and it’s not getting cheaper. Farmers are used toprepaying for many of their inputs — seed, fertilizer,chemicals. With a good turbine, you can also prepayfor your electricity,” said Busse of Glencoe, Minn.

The key is purchasing a small-scale turbine in the10-20 Kw category from a reputable dealer and man-ufacturer.

About three years ago, the small wind turbinebusiness took a hit in Minnesota when a supplierintroduced a Polaris turbine, but equipment failurescoupled with non-existent maintenance and serviceprompted the Minnesota Attorney General to shutdown this supplier in Minnesota. Today there are atleast four Midwest manufacturers of small wind tur-bines that are reliable and can take care of about 20percent or more of your energy bill, said Busse.

“I don’t think there is yet a wind product that cantotally satisfy a farm’s energy needs. That wouldmore likely require both wind and solar,” he said.

Minnesota still has the 39 Kw net metering regula-tion, which means bigger turbines for Minnesotafarmers would be an issue. Busse explained that sev-eral manufacturers built 50 Kw turbines to fit alarger market area but when sold into the Min-nesota market, they lowered the settings so that ittechnically produced only 39 Kw. That way, cus-tomers could get paid retail rates for the excess elec-tricity metered back to the supplier.

A 10 or 15 Kw turbine is big enough to provide netmetering payback, but a more cost-effective route isto install multiple 10 Kw units rather than a singlebigger turbine, he said.Cost of wind energy

A 15 Kw turbine on an 80-foot tower costs about$75,000, said Busse.

A 30 percent Federal tax credit and a five-yearaccelerated depreciation will help you reach paybacksooner. Some providers even offer a bonus deprecia-tion to write off 50 percent the first year, he said.

There is no guarantee on the duration of the 30

percent tax credit.“But it seems like Congress is OK about these

stimulations because energy is a growing concernacross America,” said Busse. “Coal, oil and naturalgas have gotten tax benefits dating back to 1913. Sowe in the wind industry are basically asking for alevel playing field. I think both state and federal taxbenefits will be there.”

So what’s the true cost of that $75,000 turbinesystem after five years? The 30 percent tax benefitbrings it down to $52,500. In the 25 percent taxbracket, the five-year accelerated depreciationwould equate to about a $39,375 investment cost.

“Then figure in your electric bill. List your yearlycost right now and assume a three percent annualrate increase. In 10 years or less, your turbineshould be totally cost-free,” he said.

Jonathan Peters, Ventera Wind Sales and Sup-port, pointed out that wind power is now the biggestsource of new energy each year. Much of this yearlygrowth is from utility scale wind farms with two tothree megawatt turbines mounted on 280-feet-talltowers. A single wind turbine of this scale canpower up to 500 homes.

“Small wind turbines powering homes and farmsnow number more than 69,000 across all 50 states,accounting for over 812 megawatts. That’s enoughpower for over 120,000 homes.

“Wind turbines are no longer a novelty but havebecome a productive piece of farm equipment. Thepower of the wind is yours to harvest,” said Peters.

Twenty years in the wind energy business givesRob Hach, president of Wind & Solar Specialists ofAlta, Iowa, the expertise to share opinions on what’shappening in the world of energy.

Interviewed on “Energy Day” atthis year’s Clay County Fair inSpencer, Iowa, Hach credited hisdad, Ken, with his entry into theenergy business.

“After the second energyembargo, Dad said, ‘There has tobe something better. The govern-ment won’t be fixing this. Privateindustry has to step up to theplate.’ So my Dad got into windenergy in 1977 and renewableenergy has been on our agendaever since,” said Hach.

His firm focuses primarily onlarge-scale wind farms involvingmultiple turbines, but six yearsago they also got into small-scale,individual farm turbines.

Hach said that after several“fly-by-night” operations wereskimming farmers’ money withfalse promises about quickreturns, he could see there had tobe better intelligence and morehonesty in developing windenergy across rural Iowa.

“So today we concentrate onsmall-scale wind and solar projectsfor individual farmers,” said Hach.“We’re seeing a growing interest inhybrid projects, both wind andsolar on the same farm. Right now solar is growingfaster and we see that continuing for some time.”

Combining wind and solar energy enables hisfirm to more accurately match up the energy load ofa given customer.

“We’ve done several hybrids across the state. Wetypically meet with the customer to check what hiselectrical bills have been for the past 12 months.Then we calculate out what his electrical load willbe for the coming year,” he said.

Currently, there is extra incentive money to pro-pel hybrid projects. The amount of that money for a

project depends on the customer, said Hach, becausenot every customer qualifies for the same incentives.Sometimes up to 105 percent of the cost is eligible forincentive kickbacks.

Hach said these projections start with a 30 percentFederal rebate plus income tax and generous depre-

ciation allowances. Iowa also offers another 20 per-cent incentive with a $20,000 maximum.

While there are several different sources of solarpower, Hach’s firm is brand-specific, staying withAmerican-made products only.

“Better quality, better warranties, and keepingAmericans employed is our logic,” he said.

Tariffs on solar equipment imported from Chinameans cheaper isn’t automatic on Chinese solarequipment.

When it comes to wind energy, Bergey is a brandname most used by Hach’s firm; the company has

been around since 1973 and has a reputation for tur-bines with minimum maintenance. Jacobs WindElectric Company, a Minnesota firm, is also depend-able. Endurance Wind Power is a third source.

“We spend a lot of time researching a product linebefore we will pick up another brand,” said Hach.

“Reliability is key to businesssuccess in this industry.”

Reliability is especially impor-tant after the debacle created bythe Polaris brand wind turbines,he said.

The BWC Excel 10, a Bergey10-kilowatt turbine, was on dis-play at the Clay County Fair.The tower height depends oneach location because severalvariables are measured to deter-mine the best location andtower height.

“It might be an 80-foot tower;it might be a 160-foot tower.Hinged towers for ground-levelturbine access are also anoption, but cost versus value isan issue,” said Hach.

He hedges as to future growthof wind versus solar, but pre-dicts a strong future for hybridinstallations. For some, pride isa factor in going the turbineroute because “all the neighborscan see the turbine and thewind direction.”

“Other farmers don’t want anymore moving parts in theirfarming operation. They’ve got

tractors, pickups and combines; they don’t want theadded complications of anything else that moves andmay require more maintenance,” Hach said.

Once the turbine is chosen, installation can be asquick as six weeks, he said, with paperwork the sin-gle most time-consuming part of the entire process.

“We find about three-fourths of a project’s timespan is the paperwork required, the permitting, theinterconnect, and the many other details. Paperworkvaries from location to location. Mostly state andcounty issues, and it can’t be avoided,” said Hach.

You’d expect states like California, Arizonaand Texas to be leaders in solar energy —and related industry jobs — but the renew-able resource is catching on everywhere.

Even Iowa, according to David Bennett,instructor of energy production and distribu-tion technology at Kirkwood CommunityCollege in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Bennett talked renewable energy — with anemphasis on solar — at the Clay County Fair inSpencer, Iowa, earlier this month.

“My job is to train skilled workers who can do theinstallation projects of these various types of energysystems, both wind and solar,” he said. “There is aterrific demand for these trained specialists.”

Bennett said he believes solar panels are moreuser-friendly and prices for quality solar units havereduced considerably in recent months.

“Even units coming in from China now have a 25-year warranty. That was unheard of in the past,” saidBennett.

He said maintenance is very minimal with solar.Hail damage is infrequent because the panels arepositioned to the south with most hail storms mov-ing in from the north.

“Wiping the bird poop is an occasional chore unlessrain does the washing,” he said with a chuckle.

The 3-foot by 5-foot solar panel at the Clay County

Fair was a 235-watt unit. Rooftop mounts are standardfor solar panels, but if a south-facing roof isn’t available,mounting units on poles or ground mounts are options.

The entire process starts with a home energyaudit, which is a month-by-month analysis of yourenergy bills for the previous year. Suggestions onmore energy-efficient appliances are part of thisprocess. Checking for energy leaks in your home canbe part of the on-site inspection.

The cost of an energy assessment could be free orupwards of a couple hundred dollars depending uponwho does the job, said Bennett.

“This (energy audit) really is the starting point,” hesaid. “Once we determine your needs we can buildyou a system that most effectively takes care ofwhat’s needed. That could even be a battery backupsystem to store excess electrical energy. We can setup systems that virtually cut your entire electricalbill to almost nothing.”

Bennett acknowledged the growing popularity ofhybrid systems utilizing both wind and solar. He ques-tioned, however, the economics of installing tracker

units which position solar panels with the sun’s posi-tion. Extra maintenance is an issue with a gain of onlyabout 10 percent more energy by tracking, he said.Demand for installers

With a shortage of energy system specialists,becoming an installer is a viable career. KirkwoodCommunity College offers a two-year program inenergy production and distribution technology. Stu-dents graduate with an Associate of Applied Sciencedegree, which includes 25 certificates ranging fromfirst aid to CPR, from rigging and lifting to fork lifttraining. The cost is about $12,300.

Classes start each fall, but the college is consider-ing open enrollment options. Class size is 18 to 25students.

Bennett said that for degree-holding graduates,starting pay for energy system installers is a mini-mum of $20 per hour, per diem allowance if travel isinvolved, often along with a vehicle, health insur-ance, and pension options.

My job is to train skilledworkers who can do theinstallation projects of thesevarious types of energy sys-tems, both wind and solar.

David Bennett

U.S. Department of Agricul-ture Secretary Tom Vilsackannounced that the USDA isinvesting in 540 renewableenergy and energy efficiencyprojects nationwide.

Funding includes loan guar-antees and grants for solarenergy to create jobs, promoteenergy independence andadvance the use of renewable fuels.

“These loan guarantees and grantswill have far-reaching impacts nation-wide, particularly in the rural commu-nities where these projects arelocated,” Vilsack said.

“Investing in renewable energy andenergy efficiency will continue theunprecedented increase in home-grown energy sources and Americanenergy independence we’ve seen inrecent years. This is creating jobs, pro-viding new economic opportunities andleading the way to a more secureenergy future.”

Vilsack made the announcementwhile in North Carolina to highlightUSDA’s investments in rural renew-able energy projects, as part of theObama administration’s ‘all-of-the-above’ energy strategy.

It is the most recent of a series ofUSDA actions to strengthen the coun-try’s energy sector. Previously, Vilsackannounced a $105 million loan guaran-tee to a company that will produce jetfuel from municipal solid waste.

The funding is being providedthrough USDA Rural Development’sRural Energy for America Program.REAP was created by the 2008 farmbill and was reauthorized by therecently passed 2014 farm bill.

The announcement comes whenPresident Obama is announcing newexecutive actions to further advancethe development of solar technologiesacross the country.

These new investments in solar willreduce America’s energy consumption,cut carbon pollution by nearly 300 mil-lion metric tons — equivalent to takingmore than 60 million cars off the roadfor a year — and save businessesnearly $45 billion on their energy bills.

The renewed effort to invest in solarenergy also includes commitmentsfrom a broad coalition of 50 public andprivate sector partners, including lead-ing industry, community developmentorganizations and housing providers in

28 states.“USDA is proud to play a key

role in Obama administra-tion’s efforts to promote theuse of solar technologies,” Vil-sack said. “Of the REAP proj-ects funded today, 240 projectsare for solar investments of$5.2 million in grants and$55.3 million in loans.”

During Vilsack’s trip to North Car-olina, he visited Progress Solar inBunn, N.C., which received a $3.4 mil-lion REAP loan guarantee in 2012 forinstallation of a solar array. ProgressSolar now produces enough solarenergy to power 540 average-sizedhomes each year. The 4.5 megawattarray was developed by North Car-olina-based O2 Energies.

The Progress Solar site is a dual-usesolar power plant and a working farmwhere a 10th generation farming fam-ily raises free range sheep and lambs.

The project serves as a test site forherd management best practices on asolar farm, and the goal is to modelfuture collaborative efforts that marrysolar-energy production with agricul-ture production. This is the seventhsolar farm venture that O2 Energieshas developed in North Carolina.

In North Carolina alone, Vilsackannounced $55.3 million in new REAPprogram loan guarantees and grantsfor 22 solar energy projects.

In total, Vilsack announced $68 mil-lion in REAP loan guarantees andgrants today. Funding is contingentupon the recipients meeting the termsof the loan or grant agreement.

Eligible agricultural producers andrural small businesses may use REAPfunds to make energy efficiencyimprovements or install renewableenergy systems including solar, wind,renewable biomass (including anaero-bic digesters), small hydroelectric,ocean energy, hydrogen, and geother-mal.

Since the start of the Obama Admin-istration, REAP has supported morethan 8,800 renewable energy andenergy efficiency projects nationwide.During this period, USDA has pro-vided more than $276 million in grantsand $268 million in loan guarantees toagricultural producers and rural smallbusiness owners.

ST. PAUL — The U.S. Department ofAgriculture announced it is investing$15.7 million through grants to 47entities that will help develop anddemonstrate cutting-edge ideas toaccelerate innovation in private landsconservation.

Recipients of USDA’s Con-servation Innovation Grantswill demonstrate innovativeapproaches to improve soilhealth, air and water quality,conserve energy, andenhance wildlife habitat inbalance with productiveagricultural systems. USDA’s NaturalResources Conservation Serviceadministers this competitive grantsprogram.

“Conservation Innovation Grantsactivate creativity and problem-solvingto benefit conservation-minded farm-ers and ranchers,” said Don Baloun,Minnesota state conservationist.

“These grants are critical in spark-ing new ideas and techniques for con-servation on America’s private landsand strengthening rural communities.Everyone relies on our nation’s naturalresources for food, fiber and cleanwater and will benefit from thesegrants,” he said.

Seven of the approved grants sup-port conservation technologies andapproaches to help farmers and ranch-ers who historically have not hadequal access to agricultural programsbecause of race or ethnicity, or who

have limited resources or who arebeginning farmers and ranchers.

Of the 47 grants, four grants go toMinnesota.

County of Carlton received$107,313. In northeast Minnesota,farm profitability and resiliency aredeclining as a result of poor soilhealth. Historically, NRCS has guidedthe area’s farmers and ranchers onindividual conservation practices suchas: rotational grazing, out winteringcattle and reduction of tillage on cropland. These efforts have shown varyingdegrees of farmer adoption because theindividual conservation practices havenot been well integrated into the wholefarm production system and produc-tion goals.

This project will demonstrate andevaluate an innovative whole farmapproach to soil health by including avariety of conservation practices sys-

tematically. The implementation ofthis project will offer new potential forexpanding the Environmental QualityIncentives Program and farmer adop-tion of soil health practices.

Regents of the University of Min-nesota received $190,231. Access tolocal produce markets in combinationwith recent cost-share incentives hasstimulated a recent and rapid expan-sion in high-tunnel purchase and uti-lization. High tunnels, which areunheated plastic-film covered protectedfield environments with a uniquemicroclimate, allow for crop productionin seasons when it would otherwise notbe feasible due to low outside tempera-tures. This is especially valuable inregions such as the upper Midwest, anarea challenged by a short growing sea-son and a cold, wet spring.

High tunnel growers produce simul-taneous crops in the same soil yearafter year, thus soil quality and fertil-ity can be severely impacted. Manage-ment practices that incorporate soilfertility building rotations canincrease soil quality in these intensivecropping systems. Legume cover cropsare extraordinary sources of organicmatter and fertility and, if well man-aged, can completely replace external

nitrogen fertilizer additions, increasesoil organic matter, and increase bio-logical functioning in high tunnelsoils. The winter months provide awindow of opportunity for cover croprotations, and some high tunnel pro-duces in northern climates arealready successfully using cover cropsover the winter in their tunnels.

This project will increase adoption ofwinter annual legume cover crop usein high tunnels by identifying speciesof interest and transferring evidence-based information to growers, includ-ing improvements in both soil qualityand cash crop productivity.

Winrock International Instituteof Agricultural Development(Minn. and Iowa) received$395,930. Individual farmers haveexperimented with rotational live-stock grazing on cover crops acrossthe country, primarily as a means ofimproving their financial bottom line.The economic gain associated withthis innovative enterprise stacking isestimated at $66 per acre, a figurethat does not account for productivitygain or reduced nutrient inputs.

These grants are criti-cal in sparking newideas and techniquesfor conservation ofAmerica’s private landsand strengtheningrural communities.

— Don Baloun

GRANTS, from pg. 19Aspecies cover crops also significantly builds soilhealth, increases water infiltration, reduces erosionand increases the productive capacity of the land.

This project will establish and monitor about 50-acre, side-by-side control and treatment plotswithin corn fields on eight farms. Demonstrationswill span two full years of cropping/cover cropping.Current management practices will be maintainedon control plots. On treatment plots, the projectteam will work with farmers, first to introducemulti-species cover crops and then to strategicallyrelease and rotate cattle across the plot, which willgraze down and trample the cover.

Detailed profit and loss data and soil health andfertility measures on each pair of plots will be col-lected. All existing analyses indicate this practicewill generate more direct revenue than it costs toestablish. Over time it will re-build soil health,reducing the need for nutrient inputs, decreasingflooding and erosion, increasing drought tolerance,and ultimately, increasing crop and livestock yieldsand revenue from a single land base.

National Corn Growers Association (Iowa,

Ill., Ind., Minn., Neb., Ohio, Wisc.)received $998,000. Agriculture cur-rently comprises 55 percent of habit-able land and 66 percent of annualfresh water usage and per capita landand water availability will decreasewith increased population growth.Decreases in access to arable landplace additional emphasis on the needfor improved cropping system effi-ciency while improving environmen-tal resources such as soil health andwater quality. In the United States,the major crop production regionsfacing the greatest challenges includethe Mississippi River Basin, GreatLakes Basin and Chesapeake BayWatershed.

This project will address the needfor improved soil health and water quality by devel-oping recommendations to farmers on a variety ofsoil management practices aimed at improving pro-ductivity, profitability and environmental outcomes;increasing adoption of those recommendationsbeyond the network of demonstration farms; increas-

ing the visibility and importance ofsound soil management and agricul-tural sustainability to crop producersand the general public and quantify-ing the economic impacts (to individ-ual crop producers and in aggregate)of adopting various practicesintended to improve soil health.

The grants are funded through theEnvironmental Quality IncentivesProgram. Grantees must work withproducers and forestland owners todevelop and demonstrate the newtechnologies and approaches. At least50 percent of the total cost of grantprojects must come from non-federalmatching funds, including cash andin-kind contributions provided by thegrant recipient.

NRCS has offered this grant program since 2004,investing in ways to demonstrate and transfer effi-cient and environmentally friendly farming andranching. In the past years, the grants have helpeddevelop trading markets for water quality and haveshown how farmers and ranchers may use fertilizer,water and energy more efficiently.

ST. CLOUD, Minn. — Just like itseems to every year, summer has flownby and we find ourselves in the midstof fall once again. Fall is quite possiblythe busiest time of year for farmers,and there are so many things to bethinking about and doing.

While many of us think about cropsand harvesting them, fall is also animportant time of year for pasturecare, especially for horse owners.

Betsy Wieland of University of Min-nesota Extension put together a “FallPasture To-Do List” for horse owners,and there are a lot of good tips to keepyour pasture looking great and give ita boost for next year.

1. Seed pasture grasses: mid-Augustto mid-September is the best time ofyear to seed or reseed your pasturesbecause there is usually adequatemoisture, less weed competition, andcool, desirable weather conditions.

2. Take soil samples: See if your pas-tures need any nutrients. Anytime

from now until the ground freezes is agood time to take samples because thesoils are drier and more stable.

3. Dispose of manure: If you aregoing to fertilize your pastures withmanure, sample the manure first soyou know how much you shouldspread. Only spread manure on yourpastures if you have more than 2 acresper horse. Never the less, it’s nice toremove your manure pile once a year.

4. Fertilize: Use compost or a com-mercial fertilizer and drag manurepiles in your pasture. As stated above,

test your soils first so you know howmuch you need.

5. Weed control: If you want to con-trol perennial weeds with an herbicide,now is the time. Perennial plants arestoring nutrients for winter in theirroots. As the nutrients go into theroots, so will the herbicide, giving thebest chance for a successful kill.

6. Check fences: Make sure yourfences are in good shape before thesnow flies. Pay special attention toposts, and fix any broken posts beforethey are frozen into the ground.

7. Rest the pasture: If you have apasture that is over-grazed, rest it forthe remainder of the year. This willgive the grass a chance to store up

nutrients for next year, so the pasturewill be healthier in the spring. Onaverage, a pasture needs 30 days ofrest after one to two weeks of grazing.

8. Get ready to take animals off dur-ing frosts: Hoof traffic after a frost candamage grasses. Have a sacrifice areaset aside where the horses can be helduntil the grass thaws.

Using this to-do list can lead to ahealthy pasture for next year andyears to come.

ST. LOUIS — As the soybean and corn harvesthits full stride in much of the nation’s growingregions, the farmer-leaders of the American Soy-bean Association remind farmers to do their part bytaking extra care to keep biotech traits that are notyet approved in key export markets out of normalgrain marketing channels.

For those soybean farmers that also produce corn,this includes keeping biotech corn traits that arenot yet approved in China, such as MIR 162 andDuracade, out of normal commodity streams so thatU.S. soybean shipments to China aren’t at risk ofrejection due to the presence of unapproved corntraits.

“China is U.S. soy’s biggest customer, buying moreU.S. soybeans than all other foreign customers com-bined,” said ASA President and Corning, Iowa,farmer Ray Gaesser.

“With a record U.S. soybean crop ready for har-vest, we need to ensure that U.S. soy exports aren’tdisrupted. Farmers growing biotech corn traits thataren’t yet approved in China need to follow stew-ardship agreements carefully, ensure thoroughequipment clean-out, and only market their grainin approved domestic channels.”

In the current marketing year, China has importednearly one-third of all U.S. soybeans produced andU.S. soybean exports to China total over $14 billion.

The National Corn Growers Association has beenworking with Syngenta and reminds farmers aboutthe need to keep Duracade technology out of exportchannels.

NCGA also has urged farmers to recheck seed plotsgrown on their farms to verify the traits grown andto ensure that traits that are unapproved in Chinaare stewarded to appropriate channels.

“As American farmers, we are particularly fortu-nate to work with so many innovative technologypartners, each of whom provides us with revolution-ary technology in the field. Unfortunately, someapproval systems around the world, includingChina’s and the European Union’s, aren’t working astimely as we’d like,” said Gaesser.

“Because of this, farmers have to take extra steps— especially now during the harvest season — to besure that seed bearing these traits doesn’t find itsway into their commodity grain loads. It’s also worth

noting that the margin of error in this case isextraordinarily slim. Only a few kernels of corn withunapproved traits are more than enough to rejectthe entire shipment,” Gaesser said.

The reminder comes following several export dis-ruptions caused by the rejection of grain shipmentsin foreign markets upon the detection of unapprovedbiotechnology traits.

“We remain frustrated with the pace and murki-ness of regulatory approvals in some of our exportmarkets, but we also recognize that the rules are therules in those markets, and we have to respect them.That means that we simply can’t send grain withtraits that aren’t yet approved,” added Wade Cowan,a producer from Brownfield, Texas, and ASA’s firstvice president.

“Every necessary precaution needs to be taken byoriginating trait providers and seed companies, andthen on our farms, at the elevators, at terminals andat ports, to prevent seed with unapproved traits fromentering the supply chain. The longer term answer,of course, is a more efficient and transparent systemof foreign approvals , and a global policy to allow forthe low level presence of biotech traits that are fullyapproved in a producing market but not yetapproved in an export market,” he said.

ASA is working to improve the marketability of U.S.biotech crops both individually and in cooperationwith the U.S. Biotech Crops Alliance. ASA representsU.S. soybean farmers on domestic and internationalissues to the soybean industry. ASA’s advocacy effortsare made possible through voluntary farmer mem-bership by farmers in 30 states where soybeans aregrown.

ASA: Keep unapproved traits out of export channels

LIFE INSURANCE.. . YO U.. . FAMILYRelationships! This is the basis of life, so it is, that the industry

of Life Insurance also must be based on relationships.

If the industry is to be faulted it would be that thoserelationships, between Agent and Client aren’t treated with theutmost care. The professional cares. The professional spends agreat deal of his or her career with in depth study, to make surethat the clients best interest should come first.

I dare say that anyone who has done business with a professionalLife Insurance Agent feels comfortable that their families presentand future financial stability is safe and done with their bestinterest in mind.

Family is what has made this great nation of our what it remainstoday. Look at the many good things we enjoy, don’t focus on a fewbad apples. One must take into consideration the total picture tobecome focused on the end result. Stop for a minute and try toremember a family member or a friend that has been better offbecause the loved ones they lost thought enough of them toprepare for the inevitable. The greatest accomplishment in anagent’s career is to see the first retirement check cashed by one oftheir clients, or to see a widow and her family continue a standardof living they have enjoyed and will be able to do so as a result ofthe proceeds from a life insurance contract.

All too often we are guilty of not taking responsibility for our ownlives when the truth is no one else can possibly be responsible forus but ourselves. A life insurance contract is one of the mostincredible pieces of machinery ever designed by the human mind.Take a minute to look a the many benefits it provides an individualor family. Take time with your agent to know what you haveplanned for your future not what your agent set up to sell you. Thisis your own individual program. You are paying for it. Be proud ofwhat you are doing for yourself, take pride in your ability to takecare of yourself at retirement or your family at your untimely death.Life insurance is truly a miracle.

MILWAUKEE — Buyers fromChina at the second annual, soycheckoff-funded U.S. Global TradeExchange have agreed to buy $2.3 bil-lion of U.S. soy totaling 176 millionbushels of U.S. soybeans, marking thesecond consecutive year that thegathering has generated significantexport sales for U.S. soybean farmersin their own backyard.

“This is very exciting news for U.S.soybean farmers,” says Jim Call, soy-bean farmer from Minnesota andUnited Soybean Board chairman. “Thisshows that we continue to meet theneeds of our international customers,and they’ve certainly taken notice.”

The Sept. 15-18 event — where for-eign buyers gather in the heart of theAmerican Soybean Belt to make dealsand learn about U.S. soy — is co-spon-sored by the U.S. Soybean ExportCouncil, Midwest Shippers Associationand American Soybean Association.

“This week is really a great exampleof the whole picture of U.S. soy’s workwith our export partners,” says RandyMann, USSEC chairman and soybean

farmer from Kentucky.“Of course the new sales are a boon

for farmers, but we’re also layinggroundwork for future sales by helpingour current and prospective customerslearn more about the sustainabilityand quality advantage of Americansoybeans,” Mann said.

During the event, international rep-resentatives met with U.S. soy farmer-leaders and attended a variety of pre-sentations to learn about thesustainability and quality of U.S. soy-beans.

“This event is a great opportunity forU.S. farmers to interface with our cus-tomers overseas,” says Ray Gaesser,ASA president and soybean farmerfrom Iowa. “They continue to demandthe soybeans we produce, and we con-tinue to innovate to bring higher qual-

ity and better beans for them. Therelationships we’re strengthening herein Milwaukee are a huge part of whysoybeans are the leaders in U.S. farmexports.”

In the most recent marketing year,U.S. soybean farmers exported morethan 1.7 billion bushels of U.S. soy tocustomers beyond our borders. Thevalue of these exports set a record ofmore than $28 billion. Representativesfrom China committed to buy $2.8 bil-lion worth of U.S. soy during last year’sU.S. Soy Global Trade Exchange in

Davenport, Iowa.The 70 farmer-directors of USB over-

see the investments of the soy checkoff tomaximize profit opportunities for allU.S. soybean farmers. These volunteersinvest and leverage checkoff funds toincrease the value of U.S. soy meal andoil, to ensure U.S. soybean farmers andtheir customers have the freedom andinfrastructure to operate, and to meetthe needs of U.S. soy’s customers. As stip-ulated in the federal Soybean Promo-tion, Research and Consumer Informa-tion Act, the United States Departmentof Agriculture’s Agricultural MarketingService has oversight responsibilities forUSB and the soy checkoff.

Grain prices are effective cash close on Sept. 23. 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 AnglesCost analysis andcommunication

The start of harvest season brings many familiarissues for grain producers, including farmland rentvalues.

This is especially true this year. High corn pricesdrove rent up dramatically the past few years, butcurrent prices are roughly half ofwhat they were a couple yearsago. Now producers and land-lords are trying to figure out howland rent will change and whatconstitutes a reasonable and fairrent price in this environment.

Cash flow economics are cen-tral to this discussion. Take forexample a producer with a cur-rent breakeven cost of productionof $4.75 per bushel based on anexpected yield of 180 bushels peracre. Right now, the value of a fall2015 bushel of corn is approxi-mately $3.50 per bushel.

This means that the producer would need to trim$1.25, or $225 per acre (180 bushels per acre multi-plied by $1.25), to breakeven for the 2015 crop year.This simplistic analysis demonstrates the gap thatmany producers are finding as they put cash flowprojections together for 2015.

Most agree that it’s not reasonable to expect all ofthe needed savings to come from decreases in rentexpenses. If prices remain at current levels, produc-ers will have to review all costs to look for opportu-nities to decrease production costs.

Producers will not be able to continue with a busi-ness as usual approach to crop production. They’llneed to account for the lower returns when perform-

Grain OutlookPrices reflect

huge corn cropThe following market analysis is for the week end-

ing Sept. 19.CORN — Harvest of a gigantic corn crop is pro-

gressing and prices reflected it this week. Decembercorn set and closed on a new contract low at $3.31 1⁄2per bushel on Sept. 19. This doesnot bode well for bulls looking fora bounce.

Record yield reports fromgrowers are confirming what hasbeen expected with ideal grow-ing conditions this year. Thefeared frost at mid-month was amoot issue as it was not wide-spread or severe enough to war-rant much attention.

On a trip into east central Illi-nois this week, corn yields of 240-280 bushels per acre and locallyhigher were reported. Moisturelevels were 21-25 percent. Test weights were as highas 58 pounds on wet corn. With limited rainfall, har-vest will accelerate this coming week.

Bushels are being applied to existing contracts orbeing stored, with very little hitting the spot cashmarket. Bushels are expected to be squirreled awayanywhere they can be this year with growers under-sold and disappointed with price levels.

The Farm Service Agency this week published theirmonthly acreage update. At this time of year there islittle evidence how FSA acres correlate to final U.S.Department of Agriculture acres. FSA put corn acresat 84.8 million. Last month, they were at 83.3 millionacres and the September USDA number was 91.6million acres.

Livestock AnglesWord of the

week: volatilityVolatility is the word to describe the livestock mar-

kets over the past few weeks. This is especially truein the futures contracts as there have been severallimit moves in both directions. Uncertainty indemand and current supplies seem to be the cata-lysts behind most of the current erratic behavior.

The cattle markets appear tohave found resistance in bothconsumer demand and packerreluctance to pay higher pricesfor live inventory since their mar-gins are in the red.

This has made the cash andfutures markets very uneasy andtherefore very erratic. Subse-quently, this has caused prices tofluctuate up and down in anunsettled manner as the battleover price by the producer andthe packer is waged.

After making new price highs a couple of weeksago, live prices have drifted lower reflecting the hesi-tancy of the packer to squeeze his margin furtherinto the red. With the beef cutout falling because ofretail resistance once again at the higher levels, itwould appear that the battle of reduced supplies ver-sus contracting demand will continue.

On another note, feeder cattle prices moved to his-toric highs, reflecting the weakening grain prices andthe optimism that cattle prices will remain high intothe future. As far as the next few weeks are con-cerned, expect further volatility until a distinct direc-tion is established.

On Sept. 19, the U.S. Department of Agriculturereleased the monthly Cattle On Feed report. The

NYSTROM, from pg. 25AThe FSA numbers are still

incomplete with updates com-ing monthly through the end of theyear. The numbers were slightly sup-portive to early week prices, but theywere not strong enough to turn thedowntrend.

Corn conditions as of Sept. 15 wereunchanged at 74 percent good/excel-lent, which is unusual for this time ofyear. Harvest as of that date was just4 percent complete and slightlybehind the 9 percent average.

Weekly export sales were 26 millionbushels, in line with the 25.7 millionneeded each week to hit the USDAforecast. Total commitments for thecrop year are running one percentbehind last year and the USDA is pre-dicting a nine-percent decline in year-on-year exports.

The European Union will nearlydouble its import tariff on corn, ryeand sorghum to protect domestic mar-kets against cheap imports. Thisraises concerns over where Ukrainewill sell their huge corn crop this year.

ics published updated 2014-15 esti-mates and initial 2015-16 balancesheets. For the 2014-15 crop, it is using89.3 million acres versus USDA’s91.6 million acres; production 14billion versus USDA at 14.4 bil-lion; ending stocks of 1.82 bil-lion bushels versus USDA’s 2.0billion bushels. For 2015-16, it isstarting with 87.3 million acres,production of 13.3 billion bushelsand ending stocks of 1.654 billionbushels.

OUTLOOK: Corn continues to creeplower toward longer-term support of$3.24 1⁄2 per bushel, with sub-$3.00prices a real possibility.

In years of record yields, lows in Sep-tember are uncommon. U.S. corn isuncompetitive, but we continue to seesome routine business as prices sliplower. The downtrend will be expectedto continue, but the rate of descent

may be slowed if estimates for theSept. 1 stocks report lean to thesmaller side.

For now, lower prices are in the cardsas weather promotes harvest, yieldreports remain atrecord levels, andgrowers are bothelated at the yieldand discouraged bythe price.

SOYBEANS — Areturn to warmerweather will pushbeans to maturity,but with spot basispremiums disappear-ing, attention is turn-ing to corn harvest.

Early yield reportsin the eastern CornBelt were hittingover 100 bu./acre inisolated instances. On my trip east lastweek, moisture of 13.5 percent andyields of 70 bu./acre acre plus werebeing reported. Early beans werebeing sold to capture quick shipmentpremiums in the market.

Basis levels began to spiral lower asprocessors bridged the old crop to newcrop gap. One processor was biddingSX+500 early in the week, but wasdown to SX+100 by the end of theweek. Soybean futures prices tried toflatten as the week commenced, but

lost the battle mid-week and set a newcontract low as the week came to aclose. November soybeans crumbled 281⁄4 cents lower to close at $9.57 perbushel. The new contract low is $9.56per bushel as of Sept. 19.

The monthly FSA acreage numberpegged soybean acres at 80.5 million.This is up 1.3 million acres from theirAugust number and compares to theSeptember USDA 84.4 million acre fig-

ure. An estimate from Chinathis week suggested that itssoybean imports from the

United States in the 2014-15crop year could decline as much as 25percent year-on-year due to poor crushmargins.

The United States exported 27.6mmt of beans to China last year,implying U.S. bean exports this yearcould drop 7 mmt to around 20.5 mmt.China’s trade delegation signed agree-ments to purchase 4.8 mmt of U.S.beans in the coming year as part of itsannual trade mission. Following thesigning, the USDA also announced asale of 620,000 metric tons of U.S.beans to China, the eighth largest saleever.

The National Oilseed ProcessorsAssociation August crush released thisweek at 110.6 million bushels was lessthan expectations and below July’s

119.6 million bushelcrush. Weeklyexport sales at 53.9million bushelswere well ahead ofthe 16.1 millionneeded per week toachieve the USDAestimate.

Total commit-ments for the yearare running 11 per-cent ahead of lastyear. The USDA isforecasting a 3.3percent increase inyear on yearexports.

Informa Economics released updated2014-15 balance sheets and initial2015-16 balance sheets as the weekcame to a close. They are pegging2014-15 acres at 83.7 million versusUSDA at 84.8 million acres; 46.5bu./acre versus 46.6 bu./acre USDA;production of 3.86 billion bushels vs.3.91 billion USDA; and ending stocksof 420 million versus USDA’s 475 mil-lion bushel forecast.

Early yield reports inthe eastern Corn Beltwere hitting over100 bu./acre in iso-lated instances. Onmy trip east lastweek, moisture of13.5 percent andyields of 70 bu./acreplus were beingreported.

NESS, from pg. 25Aing return on investment analysis forseed, fertilizer and chemical pro-grams; some crop investments that make sensewhen crop prices are high don’t provide an adequatereturn when prices are lower.

Producers may need to go beyond variable inputcosts and look at their debt structure as well. Doyour scheduled payments on machinery or land putyou at a competitive disadvantage? If so, can youwork with your lender to rebalance your debt struc-ture to get your cost of production more in line withthe current price environment?

Producers also need to do their best to recognizewhere they fit competitively in their rent market.There are times when the size, scope and financialstrength of an operation may have an advantageover competitors.

For example, producers who invested in addingvalue to their crop through initiatives such as live-stock production, ethanol investments or specialtymarketing, may have more dollars to compete forland during times of lower prices.

Rental arrangements that make complete sense

for one operation may not foranother. Since varying types of oper-

ations are competing for the sameland resources, it’s important to build the liquidityof your operation during the times you have a com-petitive advantage. This helps you survive in timeswhen you don’t have an advantage.

Communication will be the key when it comes toestablishing new rental rates. Both tenant andlandlord may have to venture into an arrangementthat is not as comfortable as past arrangements.Consider jointly attending training opportunitiesas they arise this fall as a way to start the dialog.

Extension plans to have meetings on the subjectof rent talk, and the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture’s Farm Service Agency will have upcomingmeetings in your area about farm program decisionmaking.

AgStar Financial Services is a cooperative ownedby client stockholders. As part of the Farm CreditSystem, AgStar has served 69 counties in Minnesotaand northwest Wisconsin with a wide range offinancial products and services for more than 95years. ❖

Where do you fit in rent market?

TEALE, from pg. 25Aresults are as follows: on feed 99 percent; placed 97percent; and marketed 90 percent. The report wasseen as neutral. Whether the trend continues up orchanges to move lower, producer should be prudentand protect inventories when opportunities presentthemselves.

The hog market has been on the move this summer.After spending much of the time during the summermonths falling, prices have begun to recover. At thesame time, the value of pork was recognized as excel-lent in comparison to competitive meats, withincreased demand for pork products and the quickadvance of pork cutouts. The fact that market-readynumbers seemed to have declined in recent weeksalso contributed to the rapid advance in prices.

According to the projections of available hogs formarket due to the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus,this is the period where hog numbers ready for mar-ket would be the smallest.

From a supply standpoint, the hog market seems ingood shape for the near-term. From a demand stand-point, resistance appears at higher levels whichshould allow for further recovery in the short-term.

As the basis narrows and goes to a positive in somecases, producers should consider protecting invento-ries when advantageous to their marketing scheme. ❖

NYSTROM, from pg. 26Ahas bean acres at 87.7 million for a crop of 3.91 billionbushels with a carryout of 569 million bushels. If thescenario is correct, Informa Economics expect pricescould average near $8.00 per bushel next year.

OUTLOOK: Prices tumbled lower again this weekas weather cleared and harvest progressed. Yieldreports continue to be amazing as harvest movesnorth.

With Informa’s 2015-16 estimate and economicssupporting a move away from corn to beans, pricesshould continue to stay on the defensive.

Without any impediment to harvest, a move toward$9.00 or lower in November soybeans will beexpected. Don’t forget to start looking at your market-ing plans for 2015-16.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week end-ing Sept. 19: Chicago December wheat dropped 28cents, Minneapolis plummeted 42 1⁄2 cents andKansas City fell 33 cents per bushel. October crude oilwas relatively unchanged with a 14 cent gain, ultra-low-sulfur diesel was 2 1⁄2 cents lower, reformulatedblendstock for oxygenate blending rallied 9 1⁄4 cents,and natural gas was down 2 cents.

The next USDA report will be the Sept. 1 GrainStocks report released on Sept. 30. ❖

This column was writtenfor the marketing week end-ing Sept. 19.

Cash dairy markets setnew records this week onblock and barrel cheese andbutter as traders awaitedFriday afternoon’s AugustMilk Production report.

The Cheddar blocks closedFriday at a record high $2.45per pound, besting theMarch 24, 2014 high by1.75 cents, up a dime onthe week, and 65.5cents above a year ago.Barrel closed at a record high $2.43, up9.5 cents on the week and 66.25 centsabove a year ago. Only one car of barrelwas sold all week and none the weekbefore. The National Dairy ProductsSales Report-surveyed U.S. averageblock price averaged at $2.2910, up 6.7cents. The barrels averaged $2.3465, up3.4 cents.

U.S. cheese prices have risen to alevel leading to some recent cheeseexport orders being returned to domes-tic sales, according to Dairy MarketNews. Manufacturers are cautiousabout the implications of buildinginventory levels at current price levels.Cheese buyers are also wary aboutstocking inventory too far ahead of cur-rent needs at current prices. The pre-ferred course for manufacturers is toclosely align production with ordersalready in hand.

Cheese orders have declined for somemanufacturers. Cheddar aging typicallypicks up in the fall but current price lev-els have slowed activity in this regard.However, mozzarella orders remainstrong, driven by pizza manufacturingneeds. A Midwest plant manufacturing

cheese barrels closed, caus-ing milk to be redirectedelsewhere and rampingup production schedules

in receiving plants.Cheese production in the West is

strong as manufacturers take advan-tage of strong retail demand andincreasingly higher prices. Plants arerunning at full schedules at those withsufficient orders to clear production ina timely manner. Milk supplies areavailable to increase production andmanufacturers are also fortifying vatswith nonfat dry milk and skim milksolids. Export demand is light, yetplants are struggling to fill the domes-tic demand.

■

Cash butter passed the planet Plutothis week, closing Friday at a recordhigh $3.06 per pound, up 6 cents on theweek and $1.46 above a year ago.Thirty-one cars traded hands on theweek. NDPSR butter averaged$2.7793, up 2.9 cents.

Dairy Market News says butterdemand in the Central region is match-ing current record prices however rawmaterial availability is lacking in com-parison to requested butter ordersacross the market segments of retail,food service and ingredient. Butter

manufacturers are generally producingat steady to higher rates.

Cream cheese manufacturers’increased demand for cream and will-ingness to pay premiums to secure sup-plies has caused a few churn operatorsto take advantageous returns in thecream spot market.

Butter ingredient buyers are aware oflower priced international butter,notably from Australia and NewZealand. Some of those buyers aremaking import purchases to satisfycurrent needs.

Butter production in the West isbeing geared to fulfill retail demand forthe upcoming holidays. Bulk butterprod-uction is slowing as more buttermoves to the print lines. Butter stockscontinue to be tight.

Current high prices have cut intosome of the demand, but orders con-tinue to surpass supplies. Manufactur-

ers are also cautious about buildingstocks above immediate demand.International prices are below U.S.prices and butter producers are wor-ried about lower-priced imports slow-ing demand after the holiday ordersare completed.

■

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closedthe week at $1.3750, up 3.5 cents.Twenty cars were sold on the week.NDPSR powder averaged $1.4683,down 1.7 cents, and dry whey aver-aged 66.9 cents per pound, down 1.3cents.

The U.S. Department of Agricultureannounced the October Federal orderClass I base milk price Wednesday at$24.19 per hundredweight, up 56cents from September, $4.99 aboveOctober 2013, and equates to about$2.08 per gallon. That put the 10-month Class I average at $23.28, upfrom $18.55 at this time a year agoand $16.74 in 2012.

The two-week NDPSR-surveyed but-ter price used to calculate the OctoberClass I value was $2.7652 per pound,up 33.3 cents from September. Nonfatdry milk averaged $1.4766, down 3.3cents. Cheese averaged $2.3062, up 24cents, and dry whey averaged 67.47cents per pound, down 1.8 cents.

MIELKE MARKETWEEKLY

By Lee Mielke

See MIELKE, pg 30A

Current high prices have cut into some of thedemand, but orders continue to surpass sup-plies. ... International prices are below U.S.prices and butter producers are worried aboutlower-priced imports slowing demand afterthe holiday orders are completed.

MARKETING

MIELKE, from pg. 29AFor a point of comparison, the October Class I

price in California was $26.09 /cwt. for the Northand $26.36 for the South. Keep in mind, with theFederal order Class I base, each order adds its ClassI differential to that base price to determine thatparticular order’s Class I milk price. Also, Californiaprices off of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange cash

markets whereas Federal order pricesare based off the NDPSR, which lagsthe CME cash prices so Californiaprices reflect changes sooner.

Tuesday’s Global Dairy Trade auction saw theweighted average for all products unchanged, follow-ing the six percent plunge in the Sept. 2 event, 0.6

percent decline Aug. 19, 8.4 percentloss Aug. 5, and 8.9 percent in sessionbefore that. Powder was up fraction-

ally Tuesday, rennet casein was up 1.3 percent, fol-lowing a drop last time of 14.3 percent, while allother offered products were down. The price indexhas pretty much seen declines since reaching itshigh on Feb. 4.

The downfall this week was led by a 6.9 percentdrop in buttermilk powder, down 12.9 percent lasttime, and Cheddar cheese was down 6.5 percent, fol-lowing a 4.9 percent loss last time. Butter was next,down 2.5 percent Tuesday, following a 5.6 percentloss in the Sept. 2 event, and anhydrous milkfat wasdown 2.2 percent, after a 5.8 percent drop last time.

Skim milk powder was up 0.9 percent, following a9.5 percent plunge in the last event, and whole milkpowder was up 0.6 percent, after a 4.3 percent losslast time.

FC Stone reports the average GDT butter priceequated to about $1.2236 per pound U.S., down from$1.2489 in the Sept. 2 event ($1.1869 per pound on80 percent butterfat, down from $1.2185 per pound).Contrast that to CME butter which closed Friday atanother record high of $3.06 per pound. The GDTCheddar cheese average was $1.3959 per pound U.S.,down from $1.4853.

The U.S. block Cheddar CME price closed Friday at$2.45 per pound. GDT skim milk powder, at $1.1880per pound U.S., is up from $1.1792, and the whole milkpowder average at $1.2211 per pound U.S., is up from$1.2122 in the last event. The CME Grade A nonfatdry milk price closed Friday at $1.3750 per pound.

As it always does, USDA’s monthly Livestock,Dairy, and Poultry Outlook, issued Wednesday, mir-rored dairy projections contained in the latest WorldAgricultural Supply and Demand Estimates reportissued Sept. 11.

September forecasts for milk production wereincreased slightly from August for the current yearand are unchanged for 2015. Milk production is fore-cast to climb in 2015 compared to this year on mod-erating feed prices and continued strong milk prices.Imports are raised for both this year and next, andexport forecasts were lowered. Butter and cheeseprices are expected to remain high on tight stocksand firm domestic demand. Nonfat dry milk priceswere forecast lower on reduced export expectations.

■

The 2014-15 price forecast for corn was loweredfrom the August projection to $3.20-$3.80 per bushel.Yield forecasts were raised for September to a record171.7 bushels per acre, and the 2014-15 productionforecast tops the 2013-14 record production estimate.

The 2014-15 soybean and soybean product pricesforecasts were lowered with this month’s forecasts.Soybean meal price was lowered to $330-$370 perton based on higher forecast soybean and soybeanmeal production.

The August Agricultural Prices report places thepreliminary August price for alfalfa hay at $209 per

SHAKOPEE, Minn. — The MinnesotaCorn Growers Association and the Min-nesota Corn Research & Promotion Councilhas named Adam Birr Executive Directorof both organizations.

As executive director of MCGA, Birr willlead an organization that is more than7,100 members strong and represents theinterests of Minnesota’s 25,000 corn farm-ers. His leadership of MCR&PC willinvolve oversight of the efficient and effectiveadministration of Minnesota’s corn check-off.

Birr has served as MCGA’s Research Directorsince March of 2013 and will begin as ExecutiveDirector on Oct. 1.

“The opportunity to lead an organization thatamplifies the voice of Minnesota’s corn farmers isan honor,” Birr said. “Corn farmers face new chal-lenges every day. Their continued commitment,through MCGA and MCR&PC, to stewardship,research, consumer engagement, renewable fuelsand value-added agriculture will help overcomethose challenges.”

Before joining MCGA, Birr worked for six yearsas the Water Research Coordinator at the Min-nesota Department of Agriculture. After growing

up in rural Michigan and receiving a Bache-lor of Science degree in Environmental Sci-ence from Calvin College, Birr moved toMinnesota in 1998 and earned Master ofScience and Ph.D. degrees in WaterResources Sciences from the University ofMinnesota. He is currently an AdjunctAssistant Professor in the Department ofSoil, Water and Climate at the U of M.

As MCGA Research Director, Birr over-saw a corn farmer-funded research portfolio thattotaled $4 million annually and focused on helpingfarmers protect water quality, improve soil fertility,find new uses for corn and expand biofuels markets.

“Adam is a smart, innovative and strong leaderwith a passion for moving corn farming forward,”said MCGA President Ryan Buck, a farmer in Good-hue. “MCGA has grown over the years and thatgrowth is continuing. We’ve strengthened ourorganization in several key areas. I have no doubtthat under Adam’s leadership, our organization willbecome an even stronger advocate and resource forMinnesota’s corn farmers.”

MCGA names Adam Birr Executive Director

MIELKE, from pg. 30Aton, down slightlyfrom last month andslightly higher thanthe reported August 2013 price of $199 per ton. Onbalance, feed prices continue to moderate, and themilk-feed price ratio indicates incentive for expan-sion in milk production.

The 2014 herd size forecast was unchanged in Sep-tember at 9.26 million head. Cow numbers were fore-cast to expand to 9.34 million head next year, anunchanged forecast from August. Yield per cow wasincreased in this month’s forecast to 22,275 poundsfor 2014. Yield per cow is forecast at 22,760 poundsper cow in 2015, unchanged from last month, but ayear-over-year rise.

Milk production is mixed in the Midwest; steady inthe Southeast, California and New Mexico; steady tolower in Utah and Idaho; tapering in the Pacific North-west, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states; and levelingoff in Florida, according to USDA’s weekly update.Cream tightened in all parts of the country, withincreased cream cheese demand noted in all regions. Anadditional factor causing cream supply tightness is but-ter manufacturers increasingly keeping cream for but-ter production as they build inventories to fill fall orders.

Meanwhile, milk production in Australia is trend-ing higher seasonally and is reflecting improvingweather, feed, and input conditions, reports DairyMarket News. Weather has been favorable for cowcomfort, calving and pasture growth. Feed costs havebeen relatively stable. Currently, some areas of Aus-tralia are experiencing moisture deficits and con-cerns are that the lack of rains could factor into pas-ture growth in areas without access to irrigation.Analysts are forecasting higher milk output two per-cent increase over the previous season.

New Zealand milk production trends continue tobuild. Early indications are nearly 10 percent higherthan year-ago levels for the first two months of thenew season. Cash flows are tighter at the start ofthis season, reflecting milk pay prices. Dairy productpricing is harder to gauge as disruptions are occur-ring in the marketplace, generally outside of theregion. Declining prices are noted across product cat-egories. Buyers are more cautious in making pur-chases of dairy products with the weaker trendsenveloping the local and global dairy markets.

The dairy farmer-funded Cooperatives WorkingTogether accepted 12 requests for export assistancethis week to sell 692,252 pounds of cheese and 1.422million pounds of whole milk powder to customers inAsia, the Middle East and South America.

The product will be delivered through March 2015and raised CWT’s 2014 cheese exports to 86.203 millionpounds, plus 48.188 million pounds of butter and 33.171million pounds of whole milk powder to 43 countries.

ST. CLOUD, Minn. — TheIrish Potato Famine of 1845 and1846 is something many of ushave heard about, the culprit tothis devastation was the fungusthat causes late blight.

Both tomatoes and potatoescan be impacted by late blight.Late blight is caused by the fun-gus Phytophthora infestans andactually can occur at any time inthe growing season, but moreoften occurs in late summer orearly fall. Late blight can causeloss of crop and should be identi-fied and dealt with promptly.

Late blight symptoms ontomatoes can develop on the leaves, stems, branches,and both ripe and green fruit. Pale green to brownspots will appear on the upper surface of the lowerleaves; the leaf spot margin is often water soaked. Inmoist conditions a white cottony growth may evenappear on the underside of the leaf. Eventually thelesions turn brown and the infected leaves will die.

Defoliation may occur as rapidly as 14 days. Stemlesions are brown to black in color. Infected fruithave greenish brown greasy-appearing spots thatmay enlarge and engulf the entire fruit. Initially thefruit tissue remains firm to the touch, with the depthof discoloration varying below the skin. White downyfungal growth may occur in wet weather. Secondaryorganisms may invade causing a soft rot. Unfortu-nately symptoms of infected fruit may even occurseveral days after harvest.

Potato tubers infected with late blight have lesionsthat are typically irregular in shape, firm, sunken, ordull brown to purple around the eyes. These spotsoften become infected with additional pathogens suchas bacteria and the entire tuber can turn soft and rot.

Most commonly the source of late blight is the seedtubers or transplants that were planted in your gar-den. When favorable conditions are present, 65-70 Fwith 100 percent humidity, spores can travel 30-40miles by wind or shorter distances by dew or splash-ing caused by rain.

Once spores land on the new host, if water is pres-ent the fungal spores will likely cause infection. Lateblight winters in living potato tubers and in peren-nial weeds such as nightshade. The spores can alsotravel to potato tubers in the soil by moving water.

Late blight can be a challenge to manage. Two sep-arate strains of the fungus are found in Minnesota,which are more genetically diverse to the originalstrain, and appear to be more resistant to commer-cial fungicides or formerly resistant plant varieties.To help prevent late blight in your crops:

1. Purchase healthy seed potato tubers and/orhealthy, vigorous tomato plants.

2. Avoid planting potatoes near tomatoes.3. Control weeds.4. Plant rows parallel with prevailing winds so

there is more adequate air flow in the garden.5. Rotate crops in garden with non-susceptible

plants

6. Plant disease resistant vari-eties as they become available.

7. Remove and dispose of allplant material, tubers, and fruitas symptoms appear.

8. Do not compost, insteadrefuse or burn.

9. Avoid overhead watering;water early in the day and whenthere isn’t overcast to allow forwater molecules to soak into soilbut also dry off of foliage.

10. Apply fungicides such aschlorothalonil or mancozeb (sam-ple trade names Daconil, BonideFung-onil, Ortho Multi-purpose

Fungicide). Organic copper containing products arealso available. Read and follow all labels and directions.

According to U.S. Department of Agriculture’sComplete Guide to Home Canning only disease free,firm tomatoes are recommended for home canning.Fungal pathogens may raise tissue pH and allow forgrowth of potentially harmful microorganisms.

Minnesota potato production in 2013 totaled17.3 million hundredweight, down 1.5 millioncwt. from 2012, according to the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture, National Agricultural Sta-tistics Service — Potatoes 2013 Summary.

The state’s potato growers planted 46,000acres, down 3,000 acres from 2012. Harvestedacres in 2013 were reported at 45,000, down2,000 acres from the previous year. Averageyield per acre was down from 400 cwt. in 2012to 385 cwt. in 2013.

Prices increased to $9.50 from the previousyear’s $8.20 /cwt. Total value of production ofthe state’s potato crop was up from $154.2 mil-lion in 2012 to $164.6 million in 2013.

The Minnesota Beef Council, Minnesota State Cat-tlemen’s Association and Minnesota CattleWomen’sAssociation are pleased to announce the 2014 Min-nesota Beef Ambassador contest will be held in con-junction with the Minnesota Beef Expo on Oct. 16 withregistration at 2:30 p.m. After a short orientation, thecontest will begin at 3 p.m. The contest will take placeat the CHS Miracle of Birth Center at the MinnesotaState Fairgrounds, 1750 Judson Ave., St. Paul.

The Minnesota Beef Ambassador program pro-vides an opportunity for youth ages 13-19 to educateconsumers and students about beef nutrition, foodsafety and stewardship practices of beef farmers andranchers.

The Minnesota Beef Ambassador team will consistof the Senior Minnesota Beef Ambassador, JuniorBeef Ambassador and two team members.

All contestants are required to prepare an “eleva-tor speech” for the contest. This is a short, to thepoint, statement outlining his/her message to con-sumers and what he/she wants consumers to knowabout the beef industry. This speech should onlyfocus on one subject of beef. Additionally, contestantswill compete in three simulated activities thatambassadors would complete if they are chosen as aBeef Ambassador member.

The three activities are as follows:• Mock Radio Interview — The contestant will

participate in a mock media interview. The inter-viewer will have pre-determined questions to askeach contestant with the option to ask follow-upquestions in order to gain additional knowledge orclarify a point.

A panel of judges will observe the interaction forknowledge, articulation, poise and the contestant’sability to “Tell the Beef Production Story” and pres-ent beef and farming in a positive light.

• Mock Consumer Promotion — A mock con-sumer promotion event will be set up for the contest-ants. Each contestant will be provided with a sample toserve as well as beef literature and recipes. Consumerswill approach the table to take the sample. They willask questions to test the contestant’s knowledge, capac-ity to perform in the field and ability to present beef ina positive light.

A panel of judges will observe and score each con-testant on their ability to educate the consumer andprovide the consumers with the appropriate infor-mation to answer their questions. Each contestantwill have five minutes to interact with the con-sumers who will ask questions. Contestants are ableto ask the consumers questions to engage a deeperdialogue about beef and are encouraged to do so.

• Written Response — The issues response areawill be done with a supervisor present as each contest-ant writes his/her response to a recently publishednews article regarding the beef industry. Contestantswill have 20 minutes to write a response to the articleabout beef by thoughtfully answering questions, iden-tifying misinformation and listing positive consumerinformation. This essay will be a half page response.

The World Food Prize announced Sept. 18 that BramGovaerts, a native of Belgium now working from Mex-ico, is the winner of its 2014 award for agriculturalleaders under 40, for his work developing leading-edge, sustainable programs that are transforming sub-sistence agriculture and unsustainable farming sys-tems in Mexico and other regions of the world intoproductive and sustainable production operations.

Govaerts’ collaborative work with farmers hasmade it possible for smallholders in Mexico andother developing countries to escape hunger andpoverty and improve their livelihoods.

Govaerts will be formally presented with the $10,000“Norman Borlaug Award for Field Research and Appli-cation, Endowed by the Rockefeller Foundation” onOct. 15 in Des Moines as part of this year’s World FoodPrize Borlaug Dialogue international symposium.

Govaerts, 35, serves as Associate Director of the

Global Conservation Agricultural Program at theInternational Maize and Wheat Improvement Cen-ter. The announcement of his selection was made byWorld Food Prize President Ambassador KennethQuinn at the USAID Frontiers in DevelopmentForum on Sept. 18 in Washington, D.C.

In developing his vision to help poor farmersincrease food production from their existing farm-land, Govaerts was inspired by the great agricul-tural scientist and World Food Prize Founder Nor-man Borlaug’s credo: “Take It to the Farmer.”

To that end, Govaerts was instrumental in framingthe Mexican government’s major initiative known asthe Sustainable Modernization of Traditional Agricul-ture — MasAgro — and in June assumed leadership ofthe entire program, with responsibility for coordinat-ing the evolution of related projects in Latin America.

The component of MasAgro that Govaerts originally

developed and has successfully led is named “Take Itto the Farmer.” It focuses on integrating technologi-cal innovation into small-scale farming systems formaize and wheat crops, while minimizing detrimen-tal impacts on the environment. Under this exten-sion-style program, farmers on over 94,000 hectaresswitched to sustainable systems using MasAgrotechnologies, while farmers on another 600,000hectares are receiving training and information toimprove their techniques and practices.

His passion for working with farmers to providethem with the full range of tools they need to rise out ofsubsistence farming is summed up by Govaerts: “Thebest recognition of Dr. Borlaug’s legacy is to be con-scious and shout out loud that farming is the future. Itis our moral duty as researchers to bring pride back tothe fields by harnessing the existing innovations offarmers and other value chain actors and fosteringcapacity and application of science and technology.”

Govaerts’ research and field application in conser-vation and sustainable agriculture has focused onthe benefits of improving long-term soil quality inboth irrigated and rain-fed regions through leavingsurface residues on the land and reducing tillageactivities while diversifying crops. Evidence gatheredduring his research has shown that when farmersused this method, crop yields increased on average inthe rain fed areas by 30 to 40 percent and productioncosts fell by 10 percent in irrigated systems, resultingin a positive impact on household income.

‘Blue Jackets Bright Futures’ program announced

Twelve farmers and ranchers from across Min-nesota met with their members of Congress inWashington, D.C. during the Minnesota FarmBureau Federation’s Farmers to Washington, D.C.trip Sept. 15-19.

Participants met with Senators Amy Klobucharand Al Franken; members of Congress Tim Walz,Eric Paulsen, and Collin Peterson; and staff mem-bers from the offices of John Kline, Betty McCollum,Keith Ellison, and Michele Bachmann.

During their meetings, Farm Bureau membersdiscussed the Environmental Protection Agency’sproposed rule that some fear could greatly expandtheir authority under the Clean Water Act, and howit could affect their ability to conduct normal farm-ing activities without improving water quality. Theythanked Representatives Walz, Kline, Paulsen,Bachmann and Peterson for voting in favor of legis-

lation to prohibit EPA from implementing their ruleand urged the Senate to follow suit.

The participants also urged the Congressional del-egation to act quickly on extending expiring tax pro-visions including Section 179: Small BusinessExpensing and bonus depreciation, and remindedthem of the importance of addressing agriculturallabor programs as part of immigration reform.

In addition, attendees delivered 1,400 signaturesto EPA urging them to withdraw their proposed ruleto expand the definition of “Waters of the UnitedStates.” These signatures were collected from acrossthe state at county fairs, Farm Bureau meetings,Farmfest and the Minnesota State Fair. The publiccomment period remains open until Oct. 20, andcomments to the EPA via the Minnesota FarmBureau website, fbmn.org, are highly encouraged.

“This experience outfits young farmers and ranch-ers with the tools they need to become strong advo-cates for agriculture and rural Minnesota,” saidMiles and Sarah Kuschel, American Farm Bureau

Federation Young Farmers & Ranchers Committeemembers. “It also brings politics and rulemaking tolife for our Farm Bureau members and instills theimportance of discussing the issues that are impor-tant to us. If we are not sharing our story, then some-one else will be.”

Trip attendees included AFBF YF&R Committeemembers, state YF&R Committee members, andYF&R contest finalists.

YF&R contest finalists earned this trip by compet-ing in the 2013 MFBF YF&R Achievement Awardand Excellence in Agriculture contests held duringthe MFBF Annual Meeting in November 2013 or the2014 Discussion Meet held at the MFBF LeadershipConference in January.

In addition to the Washington, D.C., trip, state con-test winners receive a $500 cash prize, a trip to theAFBF YF&R national leadership conference and atrip to compete in the AFBF contests.

Thank you for being a loyal reader!

There are fewer groups ofwords that can strike morepanic into a marriage as thegroup that goes, “Can you helpload hogs in the morning?”

Oh, how I remember thosedays. Of course, the memo-ries I would like to keep for-ever begin to fade afterawhile, but those memoriesof loading hogs are seriouslyetched into my mind.

You might know.A local farmer philosopher was once

talking about how hogs love to go theopposite way that they need to be going.In the process he said, “If a hog had ahead on both ends, it would go sideways.”

If you don’t understand that, yousimply have not raised hogs.

If it weren’t for the fact that hogs con-tain some of the most delicious meat inthe world, I would say it wasn’t worththe effort. But because our family is agroup of carnivores who loves a goodbreakfast meal, it’s completely worth itto grow that of the swine persuasion. Ihave to say, however, that if breakfastcame in the evening, I would be moreinclined to cook it. Hogs get a bum rap,but what would breakfast be withoutbacon, ham or sausage, or supper with-out a good pork chop, loin or roast?

One of our local bankers was recentlyremembering his days of loading hogswhile he was growing up. We wereexchanging stories of how it usuallywent — the hogs that got past sortinggates and panels now and then, theyelling (at hogs AND people) whenthings weren’t going well, the picking

up of hogs by their ears inexasperation in order toturn them in the directionthey need to go when othermethods fail, the tears thatsometimes followed byyounger kids and sometimeswives when the gate wasfinally closed behind thelast obstinate one. And thenthe apologies.

Loading hogs can be anemotional experience,indeed.

He said, “Loading hogs brings outemotions you never even knew youhad.”

It’s true. Gentle farmers can turn intotheir own version of Jerry Seinfeld’s“Soup Nazi” when things aren’t goingwell out in the loading chute.

I remember coming home from townonce with our children when they wereof preschool age. Our daughter hadbeen out watching her dad loadinghogs earlier that week, and when wegot home, we saw that he was workingon that job alone.

It was plain to see that it was notgoing well. After observing that, ouryoung daughter said, “Piggies are(blankety-blank) boneheads.”

After telling her firmly that we don’tsay those words, I had a firm chat withher father, telling him the same thing.

Though the world loves to eat pork,it’s not hard to see that they are possi-bly the least appreciated species in thefarm animal kingdom.

I would feel sorry for them, but they

have created many a cold shoulder inmy own marriage over the years, andso I go on loving their product, but notnecessarily them. I see the same thinghappening in the swine barn at ourlocal county fair from year to year.

Over in the sheep barn on sale day,the young 4-H’ers are crying, saying

farewell to their sheep after they haveled them around the sale ring. Fathersare there comforting them. 4-H isquite a learning experience for thevery young, as they often get theirfirst taste of selling something theyhave raised.

Loading hogs an emotional experience, to say the least

TABLE TALK, from pg. 37AOver in the beef barn, the young kids and

teenagers are removing halters from their calveswith great sorrow, standing with them and runningtheir hands down the calves’ faces for the last fewtimes, and walking away from the livestock truckwith quiet tears streaming down their faces. Eventhe dads are sometimes crying right along with

their kids. They all comfort each other after thatawful moment of separation has come and gone.

But over in the swine barn, the kids chase theirhogs out of the sale ring and up the chute into thewaiting truck — yelling things like, “Saah! Come on!Get up there!” — making dang sure they get in thattruck, and that the truck gate closes behind them.

They don’t necessarily want to see them again —

they just want the cash.Imagine where they learned that.There are a lot of things that are done for the

Nine Minnesota school districts have received$135,000 in grants this year from America’s FarmersGrow Rural Education, sponsored by the MonsantoFund. The program partners with farmers to supportrural public school districts with innovativeapproaches to teaching math and science. Given thetechnological progress in agriculture over the past 20years, farmers are very aware of the need for superiormath and science education, especially for students intheir communities.

“The skills necessary for the future of agriculturewill go beyond the farm production area itself,” saidGary Neimeyer, Grow Rural Education AdvisoryCouncil member and past chairman of the NationalCorn Growers Association. “We will need ecologists,agronomists, meteorologists, conservationists, veteri-narians and economists. I truly hope that this fund-ing will be utilized by schools to challenge students tounderstand where there food comes from.”

Winning districts have designed many innovativeprograms for use of the grant funds, including Farm-ington Public Schools in Dakota County, Minn. Thedistrict is having students design, build, and main-tain a greenhouse and community garden. Partneringwith the community food shelf, the school district foodservice program, local farmers, and higher educationinstitutions, students will gain an understanding offood production and it’s relation to careers in science,agriculture, engineering, and many other fields. AtBig Lake Public School District in Sherburne County,Minn., the grant allowed them to use innovative 3Dprinting equipment to enhance science, technology,engineering, and math curriculum.

The program starts with farmers, who can nomi-nate a public school district in their community toapply for a grant of up to $25,000. Once all of theschool district applications are submitted, a panel ofmath and science teachers reviewed each applicationand selected finalists. An advisory council, composedof farmer-leaders with an interest in agriculture andeducation, then selects the winning grant applica-tions from a pool of finalists.

The funding is utilized for math and science proj-ects in grades K-12, to prepare students for a widerrange of career prospects in an increasingly technol-ogy-driven workforce. Increasing STEM educationmeans more schools in the region will meet CommonCore State Standards. According to the Proceedingsof the National Academy of Sciences, when studentstake an active approach to learning, their comprehen-sion of the subject increases, which leads to highertest scores and more interest in STEM careers.

that needed righting, and someonehad to say something. That some-one was you — and though you’rejust one person, just a voice, themovement had to start somewhere.And so you took a stand.

Your two feet were planted andyou had no regrets, but how did itaffect your life? In the new book“Neverhome” by Laird Hunt, onebig decision changed everything.

Her mother called her Constance.That’s what her husband,

Bartholomew, called her too, until she told him thather new name would be Ash Thompson, and if any-body asked, she was from Darke County, Ohio, andnot from a farm in Indiana.

The farm had been in the family for a long time; itwas hers the day she found her mother swingingfrom a rope by her neck, which was not long afterBartholomew handed her a zinnia in the field. Thosewere things she remembered often as she wrote let-ters home to him, missing him something fierce, buthe was a gentle soul not made for fighting. She was abetter shot than he, fleeter of foot, and muchstronger, so putting on Bartholomew’s clothes andgoing off to defend the Republic was the choice she’dmade and that made her happy.

And so, with a few provi-sions in her pockets and ablanket in a sack, Constancebecame Ash Thompson,stepped into Ohio and wentto fight in the Civil War.

It was easy to disguisewhat she was — the men around her either didn’tcare or just didn’t notice, although women often rec-ognized her as one of them. Her Colonel only saw hersharpshooting skills and the bit of chivalry thatgained her the nickname of Gallant Ash.

Powers of observation kept her safe and skills witha rifle got her fed sometimes. Both kept her alive inbattle when cannonballs carved the dirt and it washard to tell which side claimed more dead. That gaveher plenty of reason to think about her mother,Bartholomew and her farm in Indiana, but AshThompson stayed with the Union Army.

She stayed until betrayal sent her running.At first, reading “Neverhome” is rather awkward;

the language is poetic and formal, as though it was

actually written a 150 years ago. It’ssomewhat of a struggle, those first fewpages, but that vexation doesn’t last long.

Soon enough, you’ll be inside the head of acharacter who, says author Laird Hunt inhis notes, was loosely based on real womenwho fought as men during the Civil War.That near-factualism allows a reader’s mindto believe a bit easier and with the additionof the aforementioned museum-quality writ-ing, it’s hard not to feel fear or the cannonbooms, to taste the dirt or to become breath-less while reading this stellar novel.

Civil War buffs and anyone who enjoysreenactment weekends will eat this bookup, as will lovers of a good novel. Start “Nev-

erhome,” in fact, and you’ll be sitting awhile.Look for the reviewed book at a bookstore

or a library near you. You may also find thebook at online book retailers.

Application acceptance deadlines for FY 2015 inMinnesota for EQIP are Oct. 17, Nov. 14 and Dec. 19.

EQIP is a voluntary program that provides financial andtechnical assistance to agricultural producers throughcontracts up to a maximum term of ten years in length.These contracts provide financial assistance to help planand implement conservation practices that address natu-ral resource concerns and for opportunities to improve soil,water, plant, animal, air, and related resources on agricul-tural land and non-industrial private forestland.

EQIP is just one tool for landowners who want toput soil and water conservation practices on theground. By working with the local NRCS office, youwill find out what NRCS programs might work bestfor you on your land. If not EQIP, then perhaps theConservation Stewardship Program or AgriculturalConservation Easement Program.

Applications for EQIP are accepted on a continuousbasis, however, NRCS establishes application accept-ance or submission deadline dates for evaluation andranking of eligible applications. Contracts will beawarded to producers with the highest rankings untilfunds are exhausted.

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

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondent Richard SiemersA piece of AmericanaOOne glimpse of a red, white and blue

striped pole and you know what itmeans — a barber shop. But did you

know that all of those poles are made in St.Paul, Minn.?

The William Marvy Company, founded in1936 by its namesake and currently headedby his son, Robert Marvy, is the only manufac-turer of barber poles in the Western hemi-sphere. (Almost the world, but a company inChina has started to make them.)

Marvy Company got the edge on otherswhen in 1950 William introduced the “SixWays Better” barber pole. He’d been sellingother companies’ poles, and laboring to mounta 100-120 pound cast iron pole on the wallwhile standing on a ladder. Working with anengineer, he designed a 25-pound cast alu-minum pole. He also improved it with adesign for easier maintenance by the barber.

“1967 was our largest year of production forbarber poles,” Bob Marvy said. “We produced5,100 poles. Within a couple years we had oursmallest production, 400 poles. The wholething fell apart between the Beatles and theVietnam War.” That era brought a change inhairstyles and a turning away from anythinglinked to Americana.

Another indicator of change is that from1950, when William Marvy introduced his bar-ber pole, to 1967 (17 years), the company pro-duced 50,000 poles. In the past 47 years, from1967 until now, they produced 35,000 poles.Currently they produce about 600 a year.

Marvy sees a small resurgence in barbershops, especially in African-American commu-nities where they are still the gathering spotall barber shops once were. He sees especiallyyounger men finding the barber shop experi-ence to be a pleasant alternative to a stylingsalon.

But Marvy is also a supporter of salons,since the major portion of their business issupplying salons with sanitizing and disinfec-tion products, and other needs. The companymakes sanitizing jars and the liquids that gointo them, and ultra-violet cabinets.

The third generation of the Marvy family,Bob’s three sons, is now involved in the familybusiness. While barber poles may never againbe the dominant part of this business, theywill always be the company’s icon. The75,000th pole produced by William Marvy Co.

is in the Smithsonian Institution. One evenidentifies the barber shop in the White House.

You can check out all of their products atwww.wmmarvyco.com. View a Discovery Channel “How It’s Made” segment on YouTube,showing how Marvy Co. manufactures barberpoles, by searching for “How to make BarberPoles.” ❖

By KRISTIN KVENOThe Land CorrespondentThe ThronsonsGary, Minn.

Jared Thronson hasfinished his wheatharvest for the year.He said “it wentpretty good” andcame in at a 14 per-cent protein, but that“it wasn’t a big, bigyield that everyone was hoping for,”when The Land spoke with him Sept.16.

The wheat was off the field on Sept.7. Thronson said he immediatelystarted chisel plowing the same dayand then “started ditching on theeighth.”

This time of year things are startingto get busy in a hurry, with no time towaste following wheat harvest. Thron-son said he will continue to do “someditching in the afternoon for a fewdays,” and will also be working on atruck and trailer that is needed forharvest.

His earliest variety soybeans “reallystarted dropping leaves quite a bit.”The predicted warmer weather isgoing to “push things along,” he said.He said that in 10-14 days the cropwould be ready for harvest.

Thronson hopes the nice weatherwill help the corn crop along as well.

“The plants are still green,” he said,noting that he expects it will beNovember before corn harvest begins.

It’s a waiting game now as to wheneverything will be ready, but when it isThronson will be ready to jump in thecombine and go.

“I’m not feeling too bad aboutthings,” he said.

The WiltsesHerman, Minn.

Just 10 miles northwest of DennisWilts’ farm on the evening of Sept. 12,the crops froze. Wilts lucked out — hiscrops only got “a kind of patchy frost;nothing major here.” The Land spokewith Wilts three days later, and he wasthankful to have avoided a killingfrost.

There had been no significant rain inHerman the previous two weeks.

“Things are drying up pretty good,”

he said. “We don’tneed any more rainyet.”

Wilts was busy get-ting ready for sugarbeet harvest. Beetpre-lift was scheduledfor Sept. 23, which isa week to 10 daysbehind, he said.

With soybeans still two weeks awayfrom harvest, he said there could bebeet and soybean harvest going on atthe same time, something he’s onlyhad to deal with once before.

“Hope we can get in four or five daysof beans before beet harvest,” Wiltssaid.

He said the soybeans were “startingto turn a little bit. ... We’re probably aweek to 10 days behind. Two or threeweeks of really nice weather wouldhelp out the corn and beans a lot.” Thenext chance of frost may not be untilthe first part of October, he said.

With the large amount of moisturethat fell in late summer, Wilts said heexpects “we’re going to have real wetcorn.”

“I think we’ll be busy with the dry-ers,” he said. For many farmers thisyear, that may be a safe assumption.

The HoffmansNew Ulm, Minn.

On the morning of Sept. 13 Don Hoff-man experienced the “weirdest frost Iever seen. ... A little bit here andthere.”

Hoffman reflectedon this sporadic frostepisode when TheLand spoke with himSept. 16. His greenerplants had moremoisture, whichmeant less frost dam-age than those plantsthat were closer tomaturity. The temperature got down to34 degrees Fahrenheit that morning atthe farm, but he said there was “nowhite on the grass.”

Hoffman took samples the morningof Sept. 16 and expected to find out themoisture level that evening.

He usually chops corn the last weekof August to the first of September.This year it’s “two to three weeks latein chopping,” he said. “It’s starting tomake me nervous.”

In fact, he said he “did buy 20 acresof corn and chopped.” He has 210 acresof corn to chop, it’s just a question ofwhen he can get in and start chopping.

Hoffman’s soybeans didn’t get hit toohard with frost, and have started toturn. “I saw a hint of yellow,” he said,predicting he wouldn’t be hitting themwith the combine before Oct. 1.

On the dairy side, Hoffman has 55mattresses in, 21 to go. Once that’scompleted, he will be done with “phaseone” of mattress replacement.

On Sept. 12, Hoffman headed to theClay County Fair in Spencer, Iowa. It’sa “really good fair” with “something foreverybody,” he said. He and a friend

rode their motorcycles the 120 milesto Spencer, something that they’vebeen doing for almost 13 years.

Back on the farm, Hoffman isfocused on silage.

“It will be pretty much all aboutcorn silage for the next two weeks,” hesaid.

Overall, 2014 is going to be a lateharvest.

“I think things are behind,” Hoff-man said. “The recent rains have kepteverything green longer. Good for thesoil, not so great for the crops. It’s nicehaving rain but it’s slowing thingsdown.”

The HagensLake Mills, Iowa

“Last Saturdaymorning we got apretty good frost,”Jim Hagen reportedto The Land on Sept.16.

Thankfully, he saidthe frost apparently “didn’t hurt toomuch.”

Temperatures rebounded at theHagen farm from that frosty Sept. 13morning. The forecast calls forweather to warm up and that’s musicto Hagen’s ears.

The corn is “coming down,” he said,estimating that it “should black layerin the next two weeks.” The cornremains “a little bit behind.”

The soybeans have started to turn,and Hagen expects harvest to startthe first of October. This is later thanusual; he usually combines the lastweek of September.

There was one last fair on the calen-dar. Hagen headed to the Clay Countyfair in Spencer, Iowa, on Sept. 8. Witha big crowd, he always makes sure toget to the fair every year. He alsomade time to attend a few farmerappreciation dinners.

While waiting for the crops to beharvest-ready, Hagen said he’s stay-ing busy “getting equipment ready forfall.” That includes the bins and dry-ers; this means “lots of greasing,” hesaid.

The combine’s ready and Hagen’sready.

“It’s just a waiting game now,” hesaid. ❖

By STEVE KARNOWSKIAssociated Press

GRINNELL, Iowa — The cloud ofinsecticide that drifted from a neigh-bor’s corn field onto the asparagus onAndrew and Melissa Dunham’s cen-tral Iowa farm cast a shadow overtheir organic vegetable business.

They say the costs from the incidentand resulting loss of organic certifica-tion on their asparagus patch forthree years will reach about $74,000,and they’re now working with thesprayer’s insurance company.

“We’re a certified organic farm —except for our asparagus,” MelissaDunham lamented.

Pesticide drift is a serious concernfor organic farmers and they’ve comeup with several defenses, such asbuffer strips. Twelve states are part ofa registry of farms that tips off aerialand ground sprayers to areas theyneed to avoid. The aerial sprayingindustry and pesticide manufactur-ers, meanwhile, say they’ve made bigstrides in controlling drift throughpilot education and new technologies.

Organic and specialty crop growersare trying to profit off the rising con-sumer interest in locally grown, natu-ral foods. But those smaller farms areoften islands surrounded by a sea ofconventionally grown crops that getsprayed with herbicides, insecticidesand fungicides.

The Dunhams grow about 20 acresof organic vegetables on their 80-acreGrinnell Heritage Farm, sellingdirectly to consumers and wholesaleto some grocers.

Iowa agricultural officials deter-mined this spring that a ground appli-cator violated several regulations whilespraying an insecticide on a neighbor-ing farm last August. Only the aspara-gus was affected, Dunham said, butsince they can’t market it as organicagain until 2017, they can’t chargewholesale customers as much for it.

Any organic farm next to a conven-tional farm is at risk, so farmers typi-cally have buffer systems, said NateLewis, senior crop and livestock special-ist with the Organic Trade Association.There are as many buffer strategies asthere are farms, he said. An organicapple orchard in Washington statecould sell fruit from its first three rowsof trees as conventional or Midwestcorn and soybean farmers might justmow down their first few rows of plants.

The Dunhams maintain a 30-footbuffer strip of shrubs along theaffected side of their farm. They’veposted no-spray signs and listed their

farm on Iowa’s sensitive crops registry.But the precautions weren’t enough.Fortunately, Dunham said, no cus-tomers in their spring community-sup-ported agriculture program acceptedtheir offer of refunds. “They were moresympathetic and angry, actually, thatthere were no penalties,” she said.

Practical Farmers of Iowa recentlybegan circulating a detailed brochurefor farmers and rural residents on howto protect themselves from drift, recog-nize when it’s happened and what todo then. The group’s fruit and veg-etable growers say drift is one of theirtop concerns, energy and horticulturecoordinator Liz Kolbe said.

Better pilot training and sprayer tech-nology have led to significant reductionsin pesticide drift, said Andrew Moore,executive director of the National Agri-cultural Aviation Association. The asso-ciation offers a program across the coun-try on safety and drift issues. He said itcontributed to a 26 percent drop in con-firmed drift instances between when itdebuted in 1999 and 2003 alone.

But it’s hard for crop dusters to avoidvulnerable farms if they don’t knowwhere they are. Enter Driftwatch, whichPurdue University launched in 2008.Producers can register their farms, whileapplicators can check the website’s inter-active map and sign up for email notifi-cations. Twelve states and the Canadianprovince of Saskatchewan are part ofDriftWatch, while Iowa and some otherstates maintain their own registries.

“I think for the states that have beenin it a while it is making a huge differ-ence,” said Reid Sprenkel, presidentand CEO of FieldWatch, the nonprofitthat runs DriftWatch.

Organic farmers also worry about anew Dow AgroSciences weed controlsystem awaiting federal approvalcalled Enlist — partly because it uses2, 4-D, an old herbicide that’s beenprone to drift. Pesticide Action Net-work organizer Linda Wells said 2, 4-Dis “notoriously volatile” and particu-larly harmful to grapes and tomatoes.

Enlist kills weeds that are becomingresistant to glyphosate, better known asRoundup. The company has given the 2,4-D in Enlist Duo herbicide a differentchemical structure, and customers mustagree to use an advanced type of spraynozzle, said Damon Palmer, commercialleader for Enlist in the U.S.

The combination reduces volatilityand drift by around 90 percent, he said.

“We’ve got a solution here that willallow corn and soybean farmers tofarm next to specialty crop and organicgrowers as well,” Palmer said. ❖

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