OPINION
Huh. Fifty years ago I often wondered if there was one fully functional Oliver planter anywhere in the world. Turns out there was — in Wisconsin. Most of the year’s correspondence, however, leaned more toward kindness than kindling. The corn planter column brought this reply from “Larry” who sends an email or so every year: “I’m takin’ the high road here and assuming your father didn’t hold on to the Oliver planter to make sure you chose another career path.” One reader, “Otto” from, well, he didn’t say, emailed to note that “I find it interesting to have your frank and often critical column published in our local farming-related publication.” Another reader, “Angelica” in Wisconsin, e-mailed in late-March to “let you know how much I appreciate your skills as a captivating writer, your humor and your choices of subject.” You reckon Angelica would take a short visit with “Darrell,” just up the road from her, to check out a 540 Oliver planter for me? If she does, you’ll read about it here first. ’Til then, keep the letters, e-mails and occasional black helicopter coming.

The Minnesota Historical Society is pleased to offer additional hours at historic sites and museums, and increased hours and improved service at the Gale Family Library After a number of years of flat or declining budgets, the Minnesota Legislature has increased funding for the Minnesota Historical Society’s operating budget, which supports the Minnesota History Center and Gale Family Library, 26 historic sites and museums, care of collections and general operations, educational outreach and other activities.

State operating budget increase means improved access to historic resources
As a result, the Society is improving access to historic resources by adding hours at six historic sites around the state beginning July 1, and new and expanded services at the Gale Family Library at the Minnesota History Center, beginning this fall.
The new hours will affect Jeffers Petroglyphs Historic Site, Historic Forestville, Forest History Center, North West Co. Fur Post, Charles A. Lindbergh Historic Site and the Oliver H. Kelley Farm. The funds will provide for additional Saturday hours in the spring and fall for the sites, the addition of Wednesday hours at Jeffers Petroglyphs Historic Site during the summer, and additional days during the holiday season at the Forest History Center.
<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>
“The new state budget affirms that history matters to Minnesotans,” said Steve Elliott, director and CEO. “Expanding our open hours at six historic sites and improving research services at our library at the History Center will enable more Minnesotans to explore history firsthand — whether up north in Grand Rapids at the Forest History Center or on the southern Minnesota prairies at Jeffers Petroglyphs or at the History Center in St. Paul.”
The Gale Family Library will also increase hours and offer improved service. Following a survey of researchers and other library patrons, the library will expand hours on Tuesday mornings creating a longer day for users, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. The library will also be implementing new ways to increase access to collections and provide expanded reference services to better meet the needs of patrons throughout Minnesota. The changes will take effect this fall after staff and new technologies are put into place. The Gale Family Library is located inside the History Center at 345 Kellogg Blvd. W. in St. Paul. Auxiliary aids and services are available with notice of five working days, call (651) 259-3300.
The Minnesota Historical Society is a non-profit educational and cultural institution established in 1849. The Society collects, preserves and tells the story of Minnesota’s past through museum exhibits, libraries and collections, historic sites, educational programs and book publishing. Using the power of history to transform lives, the Society preserves our past, shares our state’s stories and connects people with history. ❖

Adopting older pets has advantages dogs or a scratching tree for cats,” Stickney said. “It is also essential to have a carpet cleaner around for a few accidents until the pet understands your house’s routine, and to make sure your yard is fenced with no breaks where the pet could escape and get lost. If your pet has arthritis and has trouble moving and jumping, you may need a ramp to help it maneuver steps.” Older pets can also be easier to train because they do not get distracted as easily as puppies. However, if they have already learned certain commands you will need to stick with the same command words and gestures instead of trying to use new commands for the same trick.

There’s no mistaking it, baby pets are adorable and many grow up to become magnificent companions. Unfortunately pet owners often forget the trouble involved with raising a pet from infancy, and overlook the countless mature dogs awaiting adoption from shelters and rescue organizations. “Consider adopting an older pet if you want to skip the house-training and want an animal that may already be obedience trained,” said Mark Stickney, clinical associate professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Science. “Another benefit with older pets is that their personality is set when you meet them, and any health issues or special care needs may already be evident.” Within the first week of bringing home an older pet, schedule a visit with your veterinarian to identify any health concerns and to update vaccinations, heartworm prevention and parasite prevention. “When selecting a pet to bring home make sure their behavior and activity level will fit into your lifestyle, which is much easier to determine when you meet an older pet,” Stickney said. “For example, a pet that is calm and relaxed for a smaller house versus super-active pets that need room to move around and a large yard. You should also have it meet all of the family to make sure the pet will get along with the children, males and females living in your home.” It is also important to ask the shelter or rescue organization about any known health or behavior issues, or if the pet has been around other pets before or not. Preparing your home for an older pet is not that much different than a younger one, with a few exceptions that many find easier. “When bringing home any pet, it is important to have things such as the appropriate food, bedding, bowls and the appropriate toys like chew objects for
ory. I have limits. Bison ribs: The ribs of buffalo are similar to beef ribs, although they are a little leaner and sweeter. You can now order them online. Fish ribs: Nope, this is not a fish story. There are fish big enough to produce edible ribs. An Amazonian fish called the tambaqui can grow to over 60 pounds, and the ribs are large enough to treat like traditional ribs. Have I tried them? No. Do I want to? Heck yes. And here is some advice for my friends with gas grills. Fill a smoker box with soaked wood chips. Turn the flames to high and get the smoke rolling. Because you are dealing with propane, gas grills have big vents. Turn off the flames entirely after the smoke is rolling, and stuff the vents with aluminum foil. Let the ribs smoke for five to 10 minutes. Now, take the foil out of the vents and restart the flame. Finish grilling the ribs. Not bad for a gas grill. Another piece of advice, in general, learn to use or create a good dry rub. While ribs swimming in sauce can be delicious, sometimes ribs with a dry rub can be better. You taste the meat and the texture is awesome. One last piece of advice, ribs should not be falling off the bone. That is considered over-cooked. They should be tender, but pull easily from the bone, not fall off. Give ribs a try. If they scare you, drop me an email. I’ll be happy to help you out.

Heavy rains lead to more mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are especially abundant this summer because of heavy rainfall and increased moisture in the environment. University of Minnesota Extension entomologist Jeff Hahn explained mosquito larvae live in small pools of water. Increases in rainfall lead to more mosquito breeding grounds. Although rain cannot be controlled, there are many steps you can take to combat mosquitoes. • Mosquitoes avoid direct sunlight. They are more common durHumans are ing early morning and most likely to evening as well as get infected cloudy days.

Also, keep weeds and grasses from getting tall. It is important to protect your skin when you’re outside. “Repellent is a good first line of defense,” said Hahn, who recommends using sprays, such as DEET or picaridin on your body and clothes. Also, covering your skin with long sleeves and long pants is an effective method of preventing bites. Alternative and homemade methods of mosquito prevention are minimally effective, if at all, Hahn said. Citronella candles, ultrasound repellents or insect zappers will not reduce the amount of bites you get outside, even if you catch a few mosquitoes. In the case of bug zappers you may even end up attracting more insects than the amount you’re exterminating. Besides irritating bites, mosquitoes can carry diseases like West Nile virus, which increased nationwide last year. Last year, there were 70 cases of the virus in Minnesota, according to the Minnesota Department of Health. “Humans are most likely to get infected with West Nile at the end of the summer so even though mosquito numbers go down, people still need to protect themselves,” Hahn said.

Yes, hostas can be divided any time of the year and will thrive. Spring and fall are more ideal times to divide most perennial plants but hostas are tough. Be sure to water the clump thoroughly before dividing it and continue to keep the new divisions wellwatered and shaded. Why are so many of my plants leaves turning brown? I water them regularly with a sprinkler attached to a hose. One possible cause is the water is just too hot from the hose lying in the sun. It is scalding the plant leaves. On a hot day the initial water from the hose can get up to 100 degrees. Test the water on your hands before turning on the sprinkler and let it run a minute or so until it cools down.

Checking the sale items at a local nursery last month, I spied a group of gangly plants with unusual maroon-colored leaves. They were labeled “Haight Ashbury” hibiscus. I piled six of these bargains in my cart, paid for them and headed home. I pinched these half-price bargains off to about IN THE GARDEN one-third their height and planted them in the back of an By Sharon Quale existing perennial bed. In a few weeks they came to life and grew like weeds, reaching a spectacular height of over four feet. Properly named hibiscus acetosella, “Haight Ashbury” is grown for its foliage and needs to be treated as an annual in our zones. (There are lots of hardy hibiscus shrubs prized for their flowers but this one is not winter-hardy here.) Deer resistance and heat tolerance are two main attributes of this distinctive variety. No doubt it was named Haight Ashbury because the leaves have a shape similar to the marijuana plant associated with San Francisco in the 1960s. The foliage is simply amazing. The maple-shaped leaves have color variegations of fiery red, pink and maroon tones. These plants provide a burst of color rivaling that of the Japanese maple. Visitors to our gardens, without exception, wanted more information about them. This shrub-like annual plant blends beautifully with most other flowers and can be used as a single accent plant, massed in a bed or grown in a container. Given the somewhat infamous name association, coupled with show-stopping good looks, Haight Ashbury hibiscus is a garden sensation that will turn heads and bring a smile if you remember the ’60s. Readers ask: Can I still divide my hostas?

Store-bought foods you can easily make at home Cookbook Corner
By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent Noodles. Crackers. Mayo. Toaster pastries. Sauerkraut. Ranch dressing. Vanilla. Chicken nuggets. What do all these things have in common? You probably buy them all premade in packages. And you can easily and cheaply make them at home. Here’s why you should: Homemade food is healthier for you. It tastes better. It costs less. It eliminates unnecessary packaging. And it changes the way you think about food: “After making your pickles, you will think very differently about all pickles,” writes Alana Chernila, author of “The Homemade Pantry: 101 Foods You Can Stop Buying and Start Making” (Clarkson Potter Publishers, 2012).

bowl or jar, and line it with a double layer of damp cheesecloth. Using a large slotted spoon, scoop the curds into the cheesecloth. Let the cheese drain for 10 minutes, and if you like, sprinkle salt over the top of the curds. Store in covered container in refrigerator three to five days. Do not freeze. * Icing your pot: To keep milk from scorching, melt an ice cube in your unheated pot and swirl the cold water around to coat the bottom. Leave the melted water in the pot and add your ingredients. As long as you don’t touch a metal spoon to the bottom of the pot, your milk will not scorch. ** Whey is that cloudy liquid that separates from the curds. It’s nutritious and tasty. Use it instead of milk or water in soups, breads, smoothies, etc. It keeps for up to two weeks in the fridge and can be frozen up to six months. ■ Being a mustard lover, I just had to try the following recipe. It makes a wonderfully spicy and fragrant blend, and it was little work to prepare. I used yellow seeds with excellent results, but I’m thinking next time I’ll try the brown and get a “rougher” mustard. Four out of four “yums” in the Johnson household. Mustard (Makes 1 1/2 cups) 1/2 cup brown or yellow mustard seeds 1/3 cup red wine vinegar 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 teaspoons salt 3 tablespoons honey 1/4 cup water Pour the mustard seeds into a medium bowl, and cover with water three inches higher than the seeds. Cover the bowl and let it sit at room temperature for 12 hours. Drain any remaining water from the seeds. Combine the soaked mustard seeds with the rest of the ingredients in a blender, and blend until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a jar, cover and refrigerate. The mustard will be spicy the first few days, but will mellow over time. It keeps for two months in the fridge; do not freeze. ■ Gather yourself some speecy spicy chile peppers and make your own hot sauce. Who needs the bottled stuff? Remember, the hotter the peppers, the more you can brag about the heat.
from ignorance to enlightenment. Keep doing that and your mind will never grow old. ■ The next recipe is what “curds and whey” are all about. Use fresh ricotta in Italian recipes like lasagna, spread it on toast, or just eat it straight like cottage cheese (best drizzled with olive oil). Add the heavy cream if you want the full-fat (full-flavor) version; skip it if you’re watching calories. There’s also a nifty trick for keeping your milk from scalding. Ricotta (Makes about 3/4 pound or 1 1/2 cups) 1/2 gallon whole milk 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 1/2 to 2 lemons) Optional: 1/2 cup heavy cream Optional: kosher or sea salt to taste Ice a large, heavy pot.* Add the milk and the lemon juice, and the cream, if using, to the pot. Stir without touching the bottom of the pot for five seconds. Place the pot over low heat and attach a candy or cheese thermometer to the inside of the pot. Heat the milk mixture to 175 F. This should take 40 to 50 minutes, and you can stir once or twice over the course of this time. Raise the heat to medium high and, without stirring, watch the pot until the temperature reaches 205 F (three to five minutes). The surface of the milk should look like it is about to erupt, but it shouldn’t boil. Remove the pot from the heat and let sit for 10 minutes. Now you have curds and whey**.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment. Lay the chiles on the sheet and puncture each with a fork. Broil until the chiles are black and bubbling, five to 10 minutes. Flip the chiles with tongs and broil until the other side is black and bubbly. Put the chiles in a medium bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Let sit for 15 minutes, then the chiles will be ready to come right out of their skins. Put on your gloves. Slide each chile out of its skin, then remove the stem and as many seeds as you can.

From the Fields: Hate to say it, but some rain needed after the corn tassels. At the farm he is “getting caught up on everything, putting spring to rest.”
By KRISTIN KVENO The Land Correspondent
The Brandts Ada, Minn.
With a good forecast of temperatures in the 80s, including both sunshine and rain, Messner is enjoying the weather and so are the crops.
Attention Mother Nature: Danny Brandt wants you to know that it “wouldn’t hurt my feelings to pick up an easy Danny Brandt inch (of rain).”
For the most part the crops at the Messner farm are looking good, though “the end of the season will come too soon.” But it’s “now getting to that sit-and-watch part of the season,” Messner said.
But please make it easy.
The Laubenthals Swea City, Iowa
<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>
The Land spoke to Brandt on July 8 and it had been three weeks since the farm had received measurable rainfall. While rain would be welcomed the “temperatures have been pushing everything right along.” Brandt is working on spraying beans for the second time and is done spraying corn. The corn in one of Brandt’s fields was over his head. The heat that is helping to make the corn is making work in the shop a bit more of a challenge. Brandt can work in the shop until noon when the heat and dead air become more than uncomfortable. Then it’s time to find some outside work in the breeze. It’s “pretty sticky out,” Brandt said. The next group of sows came to the farm, each of the three with nice litter sizes. “It’s been an interesting time keeping the pigs cool,” Brandt said. He is currently using a sprayer and keeping them well-hydrated. This method has kept the sows and piglets happy and cooler. Brandt is “enjoying a little lull before harvest.” Next on his to-do list is that he had “better go look at the fall tillage equipment soon. ... Got to make sure the tires can hold air,” Brandt said.

Harvest preparations can wait as thunderstorms are in the forecast for the Brandt farm. With a little luck, maybe Mother Nature will give Brandt an easy inch.
The Johnsons Starbuck, Minn. The planting/ replanting season is officially over for Scott Johnson.
Scott Johnson
These spring activities aren’t something Johnson ordinarily would be working on in July, but this growing season has been anything but ordinary. When The Land spoke to Johnson on July 8 he said that five days earlier “we replanted some soybeans,” though he wasn’t sure that they would be able to get a crop out of that replant. With getting over nine inches of rain in three days a few weeks ago, Johnson believes that while the rain was overwhelming in terms of sheer amount, not much actually soaked in the ground. The ground is already getting dry again and a little gentle precipitation would be welcome on the Johnson farm. Even with some moisture needed, Johnson feels that “the crop does look a little bit better.” The onceyellow corn is getting greener and catching up, Johnson said. The earlier corn (from May) is chest high. Johnson is done spraying corn and will be spraying beans this week. Things are starting to “slow down” on the farm. “Unless we get nice weather in September, we are going to have a later harvest,” Johnson said. Even with the possibility of a late harvest, Johnson is beginning to look toward the fall, “whenever we get time we’ll start harvest prep,” Johnson said.
Johnson needs to look no further than his lawn to tell how the corn crop is doing as he believes that “my grass is a good indication of the corn crop.” Here’s hoping for a lush lawn at the Johnson residence.
The Messners Northfield, Minn. Corn is growing in the Northfield area, and growing quickly. Chris Messner has seen corn tipping due to some strong Chris Messner winds in the area.
Charlie Laubenthal has been enjoying the “nice weather” but not his view of the crops — they’re “nothing to Charlie Laubenthal look at.” When The Land spoke to Laubenthal on July 8 he said there is “corn of every height” in his fields. The corn is also experiencing nitrogen loss due to the excess moisture. This is the “most bizarre year I have ever seen,” Laubenthal said. Due to the replanting there has been “plenty of work to do,” he said. “Seems like you’re doing everything twice this year.” Laubenthal knows farmers who have replanted two times in the same field this year.
Rapid above-ground growth has left the corn plants susceptible to the high winds until the roots catch up and anchor down the plants. The Land spoke to Messner on July 9 and he said that the area hasn’t “had a decent rain in 10 days.”
Though many have just completed final replants, Laubenthal believes that area farmers “everybody realizes what they have” in yields they can expect when harvest arrives. The weather as of late has been “decent” though there still remains some standing water in some fields.
The corn on the Messner farm is everywhere from waist high to shoulder high. In two weeks Messner hopes corn will be tasseling. The corn “definitely made up a little ground,” Messner said. “Beans are coming, but still short.”
Laubenthal will plant seed oats in the next week and finally put the planter away for the year. As he finishes the planting, he’ll start working on machinery needed for harvest along with finishing washing field cultivators and sprayers.
The crops are still three weeks behind, but Messner feels that “you can get a lot of make-up time in the summer.”
Looking toward harvest “we don’t need an early frost,” Laubenthal said. With hope of a late frost and good weather it’s still hard not to be discouraged as Laubenthal estimates that the majority of farmers in the area would say this is the worst crop they have ever seen. ❖
Messner has gotten everything sprayed for the first time. He may still spray the corn with fungicide

Weed management in prevented planting acres Based on weed size and rapid growing conditions I do not see herbicides as being a viable management option. Broad-spectrum herbicides such as glyphosate, glufosinate and paraquat are logical choices but due to weed size, effective control is not likely due to incomplete coverage. Tillage with a disk or field cultivator will also lose effectiveness as weed size increases; however, the disk is likely to perform better than a field cultivator for smaller weeds. At this stage in the growing season mowing or chopping the larger weeds appears to be the most effective recommendation because it will destroy the most plant biomass and it will not expose the soil to wind and water erosion. In some particularly weedy fields, if a cover crop is desired, mowing or chopping will still be necessary before seedbed preparation can begin. If left untended and without crop competition, giant ragweed can produce approximately 10,000 and waterhemp 100,000 seeds, or more, per plant. Such large additions to the weed seed bank make

next years weed management tactics less effective because as weed density increases herbicide effectiveness decreases. Seed dormancy also contributes to long-term weed management problems. The estimated time to reduce the weed seed bank by 50 percent is 12 years for common lambsquarters and three years for common waterhemp. Giant ragweed populations tend to decline more rapidly, with estimates of 99 percent reduction within two years if seed is left near the soil surface. A confounding factor to consider is that many giant ragweed and waterhemp populations are likely resistant to glyphosate and/or ALS herbicides. Attempting to inhibit weed seed viability by applications of 2,4-D or other systemic growth regulators is not recommended because the risks of off-target movement due to volatilization or drift far exceed their effectiveness in inhibiting seed viability. The extended flowering period and rapid seed maturation of weed seed would imply that multiple treatments would be necessary and at best only a small percentage of the seed would be affected. This is a difficult weed management situation during a difficult growing season, however, action now will pay dividends in the years to follow. It is not realistic to think that all fields in need of weed control will receive treatment. It would be wise to focus your attention on the fields that contain weeds that will be the most difficult to control in next year’s crop and have the highest weed densities. Mapping of field areas that you anticipate to be particularly challenging next year is strongly encouraged. This article was submitted by the University of Minnesota Extension office in Nicollet County. It was written by Jeffrey Gunsolus, Extension weed scientist. ❖
THE LAND, JULY 19, 2013
The wet weather pattern this spring and early summer has left a significant number of acres, especially in southeastern Minnesota, unplanted. Current estimates in southeastern Minnesota project 30 percent of the tillable acres have not been planted and on many of these acres weeds such as giant ragweed, common lambsquarters and waterhemp are thriving. Although weeds are beneficial from an erosion control perspective their rapid growth will make seedbed preparation for planting cover crops difficult and weed seed production potential will challenge even the best weed management tactics available in 2014. Fields that have not been tilled this spring now have weeds that have been growing without crop competition and currently are several feet tall and growing rapidly. Therefore, weed management tactics must be implemented soon. Fortunately our current string of dry and sunny days does provide a window of opportunity to manage some of the worst fields.

both on feed purchases and marketing contracts. Because producers have become much more sophisticated in the risk management abilities it allows them to weather some of these volatilities.” Spronk is a practitioner of his preaching. He said he had just crunched some second quarter 2014 marketing the day before coming to the June 5-7 World Pork Expo. Spronk reminds producers that telling their story is an ongoing function, maybe even more important in this era of instant communications. “Telling what we do, why we do is never ending. A fully informed consumer will make the right choice,” he said. He reminded that a lean tenderloin is comparable to a boneless chicken breast — high in protein, virtually fat-free and delicious flavor. “Yes, pork can indeed be that healthful product especially in view of the growing obesity issue across America.” Spronk Brothers III LLP is a family owned operation. They own their sows which are professionally managed in the Pipestone System; they have their own on-farm feed mill and they do farrow-to-finish, as well as grow much of their corn, fertilized with manure from their own swine operation. Is the purchase of Smithfield Foods by a Chinese business entity an endorsement of U.S. pork? He said that 30 years back Japan was a rapidly growing market for U.S. pork. Today China is the No. 1 value export customer of U.S. pork purchasing over $2 billion per year. So even more pork going into China, the biggest consumer market in the world for U.S. pork will only be accelerated with this business transaction. ❖

Pork industry: Interview with new NPPC president Hill By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer As farmers are so keenly aware, the politics of the new farm bill are a constantly changing chess game. A good example: a potential agreement between the Humane Society of United States and the United Egg Producers emerged “behind the scenes” as a potential major issue of proposed language in the new farm bill, according to Howard Hill, newly
elected president of the National Pork Producers Council. “If that proposal got into the farm bill it would set a precedent for national legislation telling producers how to raise their animals. ... Even though the proponents say it doesn’t include other livestock, we just don’t have confidence that it wouldn’t be the next step.” Hill likely speaks for all pork producers and livestock farmers in general when he said that the NPPC feels pro-

COOL regulations would be ‘disaster’ and Canada.” Hill thinks the American consumer doesn’t differentiate when buying meat products so why go to all this extra cost and the additional segregation of product in the food chain? “Now if we’re talking products coming in from a country where the American consumer lacks confidence, that’s a different story. However we consider Canada a strategic partner in the U.S. pork industry and we just don’t think it makes any sense to have a complicated labeling system when we’re dealing with our Canadian partners,” Hill said.

HILL, from pg. 22A Because of “currency issues” Canadian pork producers aren’t moving nearly the volume of feeder pigs down to U.S. producers like they used to. Country of Origin Labeling is also an issue slowing movement of pork between these two nations. “The language in the proposed COOL regulations would be a disaster for pork producers,” Hill said. He explained that according to the proposal, where the pig was born, where it was raised and where it was processed would all have to be identified on the label. That would create a lot of extra labeling costs; segregation in the packing plants. “We’re told this proposal would cost U.S. pork producers about $100 million. “Now it goes back to the World Trade Organization. We’ll have to wait for their decision. Most likely they will find that proposal to not be compliant, meaning it wouldn’t be acceptable by WTO. I doubt there’s a 50-50 chance of it being compliant. So a change will have to be made, otherwise we’ll be seeing penalties on a lot of products moving between the U.S., Mexico
Hopefully new science will rapidly rescue pork producers from porcine epidemic diarrhea, a talking issue at the recent World Pork Expo. Richter said this is a new disease to the United States but actually has been a health issue for pork producers in other parts of the world for many decades. She said the NPB quickly appropriated $450,000 to address the PED issue. First identified in two states, it so far is mostly a Midwestern concern. She said Paul Sundberg, science and technology senior vice president of the National Pork Board, is working with veterinary diagnostic labs across the hog belt to most rapidly develop strategies to control and cure the PED disease. PED is a transmissible gastroenteritis-like virus. Commenting on the acquisition of Smithfield Pork by a major Chinese food entity, Richter spoke with cautious optimism about this business transaction. “China is the largest pork-eating population in the world. As a producer I’m looking at this as an opportunity for more American-produced pork to enter into this rapidly expanding marketplace. To me this creates additional production and marketing opportunities industry-wide.” She views business decisions as part of the ongoing globalization of the swine industry. “You look at the marketing data over the years and any time the tonnage picks up there seems to be benefits across the board to producers, processors and marketers.” The newly elected members to the National Pork Board take office at the July meeting of the board at the Wisconsin Dells. Richter was interviewed at the World Pork Expo in Des Moines in early June. ❖

There were a lot of teary eyes from the parents.” Kirchner said her daughter did her best to be as sophisticated as possible. A lot of kids did, and a lot of the parents were urging their kids to be on their best dining behavior. And then Michelle Obama gave them all permission to eat their pizza with their fingers. It didn’t surprise her that her daughter thought Michelle was the cool one in the Obama house. “She has thought that from day one when he was inaugurated and she was in preschool,” Kirchner said.

European growers face a similar threat from the pest, which was first reported in a corn field near the Belgrade international airport in Serbia (formerly Yugoslavia) in 1992, but is presumed to have arrived a decade earlier. Since then, the insect has spread over Eastern Europe and partially over Western Europe. In response, scientists from the United States and Europe have been pooling their expertise and resources to launch a multifaceted counterattack. On the biological control front, for example, a team of scientists from the Agricultural Research Service and the University of Neuchâtel in Switzerland, is field-testing different formulations to apply beneficial roundworms that prey on the pest. The roundworm, a species of entomopathogenic nematode known as heterorhabditis bacteriophora, poses no danger to humans, pets or livestock. But its lethality to rootworms may give corn growers another option for protecting their crops — together with use of insecticides, rotations with non-host crops like soybean and Bt corn. Building a better mouse trap Delivering beneficial nematodes to the fight isn’t always easy, though. “A standard way to apply the nematodes
is to spray them over the fields. This is done because the natural populations are not high enough to control the insects on their own. However, spraying is labor-intensive, water-consuming and costly,” said Ivan Hiltpold, a visiting scholar from Switzerland who is now working with Bruce Hibbard, an entomologist and rootworm expert in ARS’s Plant Genetics Research Unit in Columbia, Mo. In an alternative approach, Hiltpold and UniNE professor Ted Turlings, along with Hibbard and ARS entomologist Wade French, are experimenting with ways to encapsulate H. bacteriophora within an algal-based sugar polymer. The test capsules, which were soft enough for the nematodes to escape from, were deposited by hand beneath the soil surface. During 2011 field trials conducted in corn fields in Columbia, “we used half a liter of water to form the capsules, but about 2,000 liters with spraying,” Hiltpold said. He is investigating the technology in parallel with a two-year assignment with Hibbard. A report describing the team’s findings appeared online in May 2012 and later in print in the journal Plant and Soil. See ROOTWORMS, pg. 27A
Study: Nematodes are ‘subterranean bloodhounds’
Minnesota pioneers organic transition program The Minnesota Department of Agriculture has announced a new pilot program designed to assist farmers transitioning their land or livestock to certified organic status. The program is the first in the nation to provide an incentive for farmers to work with a U.S. Department of Agriculture-accredited organic certifying agency during the transition period, which typically lasts 36 months. Certifying agencies visit farms and verify that the farmer’s practices comply with federal organic regulations. Other reimbursable costs include soil testing and registration fees to attend an organic education conference. Farmers transitioning to organic can receive a rebate of 75 percent of eligible costs, with a maximum payment of $750 per year for three years or until achieving organic certification, whichever comes first.

feed on the bacteria and mate, spawning new generations that eventually burst out of the dead insect in search of new hosts — starting the cycle over again and sparing the plant further harm. Such “tritrophic interactions” (in which one organism benefits from another’s interference of a third organism) have been a key focus of Hiltpold’s studies at UniNE’s Institute of Biology. An integrated approach Hiltpold said that European corn varieties normally produce the EßC root signal. But the trait is missing in most U.S. varieties — save for an experimental strain that has been modified with an EßCproducing gene introduced from oregano. In earlier lab and field trials, the ARS-UniNE team demonstrated the success of the approach in restoring the corn strain’s nematode-signaling capacity. Whether by conventional breeding or biotechnological means, fine-tuning corn’s ability to release a Stephen Ausmus/Agricultural Research Service distress signal could ultimately complement the use Adult female western corn rootworm, diabrotica virof encapsulated nematodes — broadening the arsegifera, on a corn leaf. nal of weapons brought to bear on the rootworm and diminishing its costly damage.

ROOTWORMS, from pg. 26A Although the encapsulated nematodes (about 2,700 per capsule) reduced rootworm damage to corn roots better than spray formulations, refinements to the capsules proved necessary, including determining optimal thickness of capsule walls and storage conditions. During laboratory experiments, for example, twice as many nematodes escaped capsules stored at room temperature (around 77 F) than at 45 F. “We’re now working on a new, harder polymer shell that will dissolve in soil over time, releasing the nematodes,” Hiltpold said. The team is also examining whether coating capsules with rootworm attractants and feeding stimulants will increase the pest’s likelihood of encountering the nematodes. “That worked pretty well in the lab, but hasn’t proved true in the field yet,” Hiltpold said. Amplifying corn’s chemical SOS signals Fortunately, the nematodes are adept hunters. Hiltpold’s and Turlings’s studies of heterorhabditis show it’s something of a “subterranean bloodhound” when it comes to tracking chemical cues, or scents, that diffuse through soil, particularly the volatile compound (E)-beta-caryophyllene, or EßC. When chewed on, corn plant roots release the compound, which attracts hungry nematodes in the surrounding soils.

Minnesota Agriculture Commissioner Dave Frederickson said the program was designed to help transitioning farmers improve their chances of success.
Minnesota has a history of creating innovative organic programs. In 1999, Minnesota launched the first organic certification cost-share program in the nation, providing regulatory relief to farmers by helping defray the cost of organic certification with partial rebates. Minnesota’s program served as a model for a national program that was then included
“Where Farm and Family Meet”
“Farmers choose to go organic for many reasons and there are ready markets for those products,” Frederickson said. “Many would like feedback during the transition process so they know they’re on the right track. The Minnesota Organic Advisory Task Force has recommended something like this for years, and I’m pleased that we now have a pilot program for 2013.”

Growing campers ‘more fun than growing corn and pork’ By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Now into its fourth season, Happy Time Resort, the enterprise of Rodney and Samantha Hagen and their young family just keeps growing. The Hagens and their children Natalie, 16, Clint, 15, Clay, 12, and Sydney, 6, sort of glow with enthusiasm when asked about the joys of running a family campground practically in the backyard of their rural Lake Mills, Iowa, farmstead. “I’ve just got a ton of new friends,” beamed Clay, the unofficial social director of Happy Time. “He just wanders around and soon seems to know just about all the campers. He’s our ‘goodwill’ guy,” Samantha said. Some campers stay for a twoPhotos by Dick Hagen day weekend; some make this Samantha and Rodney Hagen opted to starts a campground, complete their family vacation for a week, with its own man-made pond, rather than raise corn on this part of their sometimes two.

A “canteen” building which used to be part of When Happy Time Resort opened in April 2010 Hagen’s hog operation 10 years ago provides snacks, sidewalks, some camping slips, and street lighting pizza, a variety of sodas and even a cold beer or cockconstruction were still under way. Lakes are scarce in Iowa so the big attraction was a freshly dug five- tail beverage. Hagen is primarily a crop farmer, growing about acre water pond. About 1,700 tons of sand were trucked in to provide 200 feet of sandy beach area. A 900 acres of corn and soybeans. He also used to be a big inflatable rubber diving mat hitched about 20 farrow-to-finish hog producer but those frequent feet off shore invited swimmers to check out the “red-ink” periods in the swine industry convinced him raising pork wasn’t a sure thing.

corn. Hagen and his family decided on starting a campground because they felt that growing campers was more fun than growing corn and pork, and the income was better, too. “We have done lots of family camping. We could see the need for a family camping resort in our area and we thought ‘why not right here on our own farm?’ Now we have a family business and our children really enjoy being part of it,” Samantha said. She credits her husband with being the visionary resource. “Whenever we visited other campgrounds, Rod was always analyzing each operation as to what he liked and didn’t like. It was from these many camping experiences that Rod pretty much decided what we could do if we started our own campground,” she said. How can you be certain that if you start bulldozing away in your own field you can find reliable water for a five-acre pond? “You don’t really know. But water tables are high in this area. Move enough dirt ‘til you get down to a clay subsoil and you know you’ve got something that will hold the water, too. We’ve been blessed. Even this low rainfall season, our pond water stayed fresh and clean,” Rodney said. When 70 to 90 campers pull in for a two-day or longer weekend, Samantha said it seems almost surreal that all this is happening right in their own backyard. “We weren’t really sure what to expect when we started building four years ago. But we’ve now tripled our size and already this spring we have a waiting list.” Happy Time Resort now has 97 full hookup camping slots plus 24 electric-only spots. Rodney used a KOA website to get some ideas on what it might cost to build his own campground. “My first thoughts when I looked at their info was ‘no way can it cost this much’. Well, their information was pretty much right on the money,” he chuckled. Samantha added, “he can spend half a million dollars on a new combine so why not do our own campground instead.

Word-of-mouth advertising has worked so far Apparently this camping fever is contagious. Samantha invited her parents who hadn’t camped for 30 years, for a first-time look. They went home and bought a camper to park at the campground. Depending upon how Rodney and Samantha value their sweat equity, the campground could be a black-ink operation this year, and a three-year payback on their nearly half-million-dollar business is remarkable. Rodney cautions, “if you build a campground just to make money you better not do it. For us it’s been a perfect family project that brings joy, comfort and excitement virtually every day.” Rodney tells of an exchange he had with his dad, Gordy, had when he first started working on the sixacre campsite and pond. “He asked me how many acres went into the pond. I told him five acres. That was when corn had reached $3.50 a bushel. Dad told me that if it was growing corn I could have made $1,000 on those five acres. I told him, ‘Dad, we sold $3,500 worth of pizza and beverages out here last weekend’.” For more information, log on to www.HappyTimeResort.com, call (641) 592-CAMP, e-mail happytime@WCTAtel.net or write to 526 470th St., Lake Mills, IA 50450.

Samantha say it’s mostly “fun work” because camping families are good company, and often even assist with the clean up around the park. “Mowing and trimming are the largest task but I’ve got a great steady helper. We concentrate on keeping our grassy areas green, and our trees surrounding our camping area growing abundantly. Shade is always precious even when you’ve got five acres of water to play around in.” Insurance and state licensing are necessary with such a business. “It takes a while to get the paperwork completed but once in place we’ve gotten along just real good,” Rodney said. Their customers are dedicated too. Right now 78 clients park their campers for the entire season; last year 22 left their camper over the winter season. Their contract is $300 a month for the full hookups; $25 per day for the electric-only spots; $30 per day for the full hookups ($35 on weekends). Most of their regulars pay up for the season by April 1 so there’s no more bills the rest of the season. Next on Samantha’s agenda is a bigger “social parlor” especially to handle their winter events, and a bigger bath house. Eventually a party room that could be rented out for private activities may also be coming in the future. Security is not an issue especially since Rodney asked the county sheriff to make weekend drive-throughs just to check things out. With $6 corn, is it still more fun growing campers than growing corn? “Yep, by far,” he was quick to say.

CAMP, from pg. 30A Plus this is lots more fun.” It’s also a good experience for the Hagen children. “They’ve met so many new friends from all over the Midwest, even different countries. Sydney is our ‘campground entertainer’ and activity director. She knows every youngster that’s out here; even the names of their pets. She just loves meeting people and people love her too,” Samantha said. Happy Time Resort enjoyed a surprisingly good 2012 season including a spring start about six weeks earlier than normal, and a near-perfect fall which kept “resident campers” around longer than usual, and also kept attracting first-timers much later than usual. There’s still room for expansion, and Rodney said at least 20 more full hookups around the pond are a potential down the road. Everyone wants a “pond hookup” once they come in and drive around the campground. Happy Time is also spreading in to the winter. Samantha has collected dozens of old ice skates from thrift stores and rummage sales. “We’ve done a few birthday party events providing ice skates for anyone who wants to give it a try. Then I also have hot chocolate and the kids really enjoy such a deal. We also have lots of extra sleds. And we’ve got enough space so quite a few snowmobiles show up on weekends,” she said. With water in the pond up to 30 feet deep, winter fish kill is not a problem. So far it’s just catch and release of perch, crappie, bass, catfish and blue gills in the pond, with walleye possibly being added. Special entertainment is scheduled on a few summer weekends but Samantha said family activities are the main focus of the campground. That means karaoke and a hula hoop contest might be on the agenda. There are hay rides for the children, and even hay rides to their local church (about four miles away) on Sunday mornings. Fourth of July fireworks, sand volleyball tournaments and bean bag competitions are a few more of the “go with the flow” activities. Rodney said a dollar has not been spent on advertising so far. “It’s all been word-of-mouth. Plus we bought a bunch of can coolers which we hand out when folks buy a beverage. Sometimes I get a call from tavern operators asking who we are. I say ‘Who are you?’ And they respond telling me how often someone stops in for a beverage and they have this Happy Time Resort can cooler in their hands. So our coolers apparently have become a big deal.” The food menu is a bit challenging because it’s pizza or more pizza or more pizza. There’s also candy and ice cream treats available. “And our signature drink for kids is a Shirley Temple,” Samantha said. Of course, there is some work involved when you’re dealing with the public.

Panther Distillery, Osakis, Minn.
That’s Greg Farber (far left in photo) of Osakis, Minn., talking. He farms a bit north of town and makes whiskey at the 2-year-old Panther Distillery on the town’s edge. Farber is part of a team of distillers and distillery workers that includes Master Distiller Brett Grinager and owner Adrian Panther (far right). Their first product, which was released this spring, is White Water Whiskey. It’s an unaged, crystal clear, corn whiskey that is being sold in numbered bottles in liquor stores. Thanks to a just-passed Minnesota law we were able to sample a shot from bottle number 148. I was prepared for the bite that I associate with whiskey. I’m still waiting. “That’s really smooth,” my surprised wife said. Next we tried an apple whiskey that will be released when the distillery receives the government’s green light. “We use fresh apple juice, real cinnamon sticks, and lots of brown sugar,” Panther said. “What does it taste like?” Apples! “We use Minnesota-grown apple juice when we can get it,” Grinager said. Minnesota grains are easier to come by than Minnesota apple juice. Grinager points out the back door of the distillery to the Osakis Cooperative Creamery elevator. “They bring us 10 tons of No. 2 yellow corn per week,” he said. “We also buy wheat and barley from local farmers.” On a good day the Panther Distillery distills 300 gallons of highquality alcohol. There are 15 500-gallon fermenting tanks bubbling away at any one time. There are also three hard-working copper pot-bellied stills and a couple big stainless steel mash cookers. “We get about 50 gallons of high-quality drinking alcohol per 500gallon batch,” Grinager said. What is drinkable alcohol is determined by the master distiller. “It’s important to have just one person tasting for quality,” Grinager said. “That way you get a consistent product.” In a batch of distilled alcohol there are the head, the tail and the heart. The tail goes to farmers for feed, the head is saved as a solution to clean the equipment, and the heart goes directly into a bottle or into a barrel for aging. You can find the heart from Panther Distillery at over 400 Minnesota establishments from Jackson to Waskish. You can also stop by the distillery during business hours for a tour and a sample.

Grain prices are effective cash close on July 15. 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.
It almost appears that the livestock markets have been on hold since the first of July. Obviously this will likely end up being a short-term phenomenon and both the cattle and hog markets will find direction and begin to move once again. The cattle market has found a rather-tight trading range in recent weeks. There has also been a big change in the basis between cash and futures. There is now a premium of futures over cash which has not been seen for months. The cash sales have been struggling to stay near steady, but have actually declined in price ever so slightly during the JOE TEALE past few weeks. Broker Cattle numbers are expected to Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. increase over the near term since most cattle being placed are heavier than normal going into the feedlots. The beef cutouts have been under pressure as of late with prices basis choice slipping to near $190 per hundredweight basis choice. The boxed beef movement continues to be slow and this continues to indicate weak demand for beef. So couple the increasing supply of market-ready cattle along with weak demand for beef and the outlook for prices appears to be on the soft side for cattle through the summer months. Producers should keep aware of the market conditions and use premiums to their advantage to protect their inventories through the next several months. The hog market has begun to falter above the
Have recent investments in your grain operation made your business lop-sided? At times, it can be difficult to look at your operation objectively, but taking a look at all of the numbers related to recent investments is vital in order to get a better idea of how your operation is really sitting. Recently, many grain farmers have invested large amounts of money in updating equipment and grain handling systems. In the past few years, it was common for me to see that producers had an investment of $350 to $550 per acre in total machinery value on their farm. GLENN WACHTLER I am seeing a larger number of AgStar Assistant VP — Financial Services producers recently with the Baldwin, Wis. equipment investment per acre ratio significantly above the recommended level of $500 per crop acre. The availability of cash, low interest rates, higher equipment prices and tax considerations have made it easy for even the most careful of producers to exceed this guidance. There are a few things you can do to bring this level down to a more sustainable range. • Owning your own grain storage. There are many practical reasons to have grain storage on your farm, but make sure it’s at least as cost effective as commercial alternatives. Including the handling charges, a producer might expect to pay 30 cents per bushel for the storage in that year at a commercial facility. Considering depreciation and average interest

“Where Farm and Family Meet”
Editor’s Note: Tim Emslie, CHS Hedging market analyst, is sitting in this week for Phyllis Nystrom, the regular “Grain Outlook” columnist. The following market analysis is for the week ending July 12. CORN — Weather forecast volatility was front and center this week, flanked on center stage by the monthly U.S. Department of Agriculture supply-demand update. The concern of the market is the possibility of heat moving in from the southwestern United States during pollination. Models vary from run to run, but the southwestern belt seems to be TIM EMSLIE the area at highest risk of seeing CHS Hedging Inc. too much heat and dryness. St. Paul Meanwhile, eastern areas received more rain this week. Conditions improved on the weekly USDA condition report by 1 point to 68 percent in the good/excellent category. I expect conditions should hold pretty close to steady in the upcoming week: later corn in the north was adding height rapidly, offsetting a little too much rain in the east and areas that would like some more rain in the southwest. The July USDA report on Thursday adopted the acreage numbers from the June survey and left the yield estimate unchanged. This is the most common way that the USDA handles its yield estimates in July — leaving it unchanged ahead of the first objective survey in August, provided there is no compelling weather issue.

Weather uncertainty impacting final soybean acres EMSLIE, from pg. 1B On the demand side of the equation, 50 million bushels of feed usage was shifted from new-crop back to old-crop, tightening the 2012-13 stocks by 40 million bushels to 729 million bushels. The reason given was the effect of a late harvest on the apparent level of feed use prior to Sept. 1. This is the opposite situation compared to the last couple of years when an early harvest made corn available to prior to the beginning of the new marketing year. Ultimately, the timing of harvest only affects which year feed use gets recorded in, rather than adding or subtracting from total usage across both marketing years. In 2013, it looks like the draw on old-crop supplies could be extended more than usual. The export and ethanol usage categories were unchanged on the report. I think there is a chance that both could be ultimately increased. Weekly ethanol production was up by 19,000 barrels per day to a rate of 883,000 barrels/day. We estimate sustaining that pace through the remainder of the marketing year would put corn use for ethanol 40 million
bushels higher than the current USDA estimate. Weekly export sales were the biggest since April at 391,000 metric tons. Exports may just sneak above the 700million-bushel estimate the USDA is using. Current commitments, which include both what’s been shipped already and outstanding sales on the books now stand at 731 million bushels. The new-crop ending stocks increased by 10 million bushels to 1,959 million bushels. OUTLOOK: December corn reversed higher this week after trading at the lowest level since January 2011 at the beginning of the week. For the week, the December contract was up 18 cents, but closed 19 cents off the weekly high, illustrating the sensitivity to the weather outlook. Going home on Friday, forecasts showed that the next round of hot weather would not be an extended one. Support is at the recent low of $4.90, with a retracement target of $5.31 based on holding that low. The funds net-short position was at a
WACHTLER, from pg. 1B rates, an investment of $1.75 per bushel for on-the-farm storage amortizes out to be roughly the same as commercial storage. Compare your return on storage over the past three to five years to the 30 cents per bushel to make sure you capture the basis improvement and futures carry in the market to pay for the storage. • Invest in non-tangible assets. Consider your farm’s need for transition and legal planning and accounting systems. Have the investments in these areas been proportionate to the tangible assets on your balance sheet? Illfated transition and legal plans generally are not a problem on the farm until they become a large potential problem for either you or your successors. It may take several years to properly position these plans and starting earlier will make the process easier. Investing in a meaningful amount of life insurance should be part of almost every farm. A good accounting system will let you have clarity when making the decisions on the farm. The benefits of a quality accounting system include making growth of your business easier to plan for and also add transparency for your bankers,
partners and successors. • Finally, think safety. If you know there are areas on your farm where potential problems could occur, investing in improving the safety of those areas will be money well spent if it saves you or someone on your farm from injury or death. Now is the time to start looking at other areas of your business. Make sure your farm has enough working capital for a rainy day. Plan to achieve a healthy $300 per acre of cash, grain inventory, prepaid expenses and accounts receivable after all of your current liabilities are subtracted. Current liabilities can be payables, operating loans and yearly payments. Look at building your working capital to this level as an investment in your farm. Once you think objectively about all of these areas of your business, and act accordingly, your grain operation will be more well-rounded and well-positioned for whatever the future may bring.

multi-year high, which should limit the scope for decline in the imme-
diate future. SOYBEANS — The USDA chose to limit its adjustments on the soybean balance sheet to incorporating the increase in harvested acreage reported on June 28. That increased production and stocks by 30 million bushels, putting 2013-14 ending stocks at 295 million bushels. Weekly export sales showed net cancellations of 71,000 mt for old-crop, but a solid week of 411,000 mt for new-crop. National Oilseed Processors Association reports crush for June on July 15, which will be a key indicator of how the tight supplies will be resolved. The crush category should ultimately come in higher at the expense of export cancellations. Condition ratings were unchanged at 67 percent good/excellent. Conditions improved in the north, and slipped in the southwestern growing belt. OUTLOOK: November soybeans rallied the first four days of the week before dropping sharply on Friday when selling cascaded from a weak expiration of the July contract. For the week, the November contract was up 29 cents but, like corn, finished well off the weekly high. The November contract posted a reversal higher on the week. Weather uncertainty is a factor on final planted area for soybeans due to late soft red winter wheat harvest on acres intended for double-cropped soybeans. I expect to see the week’s low of $12.25 hold as support until there is more confidence on production. Tim’s tidbits: The S&P 500 index achieved a new record high close this week, first setting the record on Thursday at 1,675, and settling at a new high of 1,680 on Friday. The highest
close prior to this week was set near the end of May at 1,655. The S&P ended the week on a seven-straight-session winning streak. The index was up about 3 percent for the week. The biggest push higher came on Thursday after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said highly accommodative monetary policy would continue for the foreseeable future. There was keen interest in the minutes released this week from the June Federal Open Market Committee meeting, because of the post-meeting press conference in which Bernanke detailed a potential timetable for tapering Quantitative Easing. The minutes gave a somewhat different reading on the proclivities of the committee, indicating the Fed was taking a more “wait-and see” attitude than was implied by the June 19 press conference. The minutes stated that many members were looking for further improvement in the labor market before it would be appropriate to slow asset purchases. “Many” in the parlance of the official minutes is generally understood to mean a majority. However, further labor market strength like what was seen in June does point toward a slowing of QE by the September meeting. Wheat markets closed higher, up 22.75 cents in Kansas City, 21 cents in Chicago and 3 cents in Minneapolis. Production of all wheat was raised by 34 million bushels on the USDA report, but demand was higher on an increase in exports, lowering ending stocks for 2013-14 by 83 million bushels to 576 million bushels. Recent SRW sales to China showed up in reporting this week, making for a blockbuster sales week of 1.473 million mt.

Summer high being built TEALE, from pg. 1B $100/cwt. level after a good rally over the past several months. Good demand for pork was the catalyst behind the recent strength. However, as the pork cutout advanced over the $100/cwt. area, resistance to the higher prices began to surface. The result has been that packers have become a little more selective in the bidding for live inventory and thus cash prices have slipped in recent days. This is creating the same fate as other markets for the hog market — that high prices are the cure for high prices. From a seasonal standpoint, it
would appear that our typical summer high is in the process of being built at this time. This would normally result in hog prices declining into the fall before finding a bottom. With economic conditions still weak and domestic disposable income shrinking, further growth in demand for pork seems unlikely at these current price levels. The futures market is anticipating this change in direction and remains at a discount to cash in all contracts, both nearby and deferred. Therefore, producers need to be prudent about market conditions and protect their inventories where needed. ❖

May butter, cheese exports mixed bag of movement MIELKE, from pg. 3B Meanwhile, commercial disappearance of dairy products in the first four months of 2013 totaled 64.2 billion pounds, down 0.6 percent from 2012. Butter was up 2 percent; American cheese, up 1.2 percent; other cheese, up 1.9 percent; nonfat dry milk, down 9 percent; and fluid milk products were off 2 percent. ■ Things are looking better on the export side of demand, according to the Daily Dairy Report. The latest data showed U.S. dairy exports in May set an all-time record for value, and several products saw volume records. Whey and lactose exports were strong and appear to be the primary driver behind declining U.S. stocks of these products, according to the DDR. U.S. manufacturers exported 47.4 million pounds of whey, on a daily average basis, up 1.6 percent from the prior year and 9.5 percent higher than April, however whey exports are still 2.6 percent behind 2012 levels. May exports of butter and cheese
were mixed. At 12.7 million pounds, on a daily average basis, U.S. butter exports were up 35 percent from April but down 17 percent from last year. Through May, U.S. butter exports are only 0.9 percent behind the same period in 2012; however, year-over-year volumes have slipped the last two months, which could weigh on U.S. butter prices, the DDR warned. U.S. cheese exports of 58.7 million pounds were 4.2 percent higher than in April, but 1.5 percent less than last year. However, May 2012 cheese exports of 59.6 million pounds set an all-time record high. Although U.S. total cheese exports are strong, Cheddar exports continue to languish. Cheddar exports of 10 million pounds in May were down 1.9 percent from April and nearly 19 percent less than a year ago. “With U.S. Cheddar production continuing to run higher than a year ago, lower exports suggest U.S. Cheddar is remaining onshore, which helps explain continued pressure on spot prices,” the DDR concluded.

• If the Conference Committee were to reach agreement on either the Senate version of the new farm bill, or the so-called “farm only” House farm bill, will there be enough support in both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House to give final passage to a new farm bill? • If the Conference Committee farm bill is passed by the U.S. Senate and U.S. House, will President Obama sign the new farm bill into law? • If the Conference Committee cannot reach agreement on a new farm bill later this year, will the 2008 farm bill be extended for yet another year through 2014? Farm bill and ag policy at Farmfest forums Farmfest will feature an exciting lineup of feature forums in 2013. The forums will be held Aug. 6-8, in the new Wick Buildings Farmfest Center on the Farmfest site, which is located at the Gilfillan Estate, 7 miles southeast of Redwood Falls, Minn. The forum schedule has a heavy emphasis on national and state agricultural policy issues, and on issues affecting rural Minnesota. Sen. Al Franken, and Reps. Collin Peterson and Tim Walz will be part of Farmfest forums on Aug. 6. Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton will be making a keynote address on opportunities available in Minnesota’s agriculture industry at 10:15 a.m. Aug. 8. Many other national and state agricultural leaders will take part in this year’s Farmfest forums.

islation, so the SNAPs would continue with few spending reductions, if these programs are not in the farm bill and there is no new legislation passed by Congress. The version of the new farm bill passed by the U.S. House proposes to replace the current 1949 and 1938 permanent farm law with a new Title I in the farm bill. This new Title I would provide for continuing farm commodity programs, in the event that a new farm bill was not enacted by the expiration date of the previous farm bill. Many farm organizations feel that this will make it much easier for Congress to totally eliminate farm supports and “safety nets” in the future. Conservation programs, rural development, trade programs and other USDA programs would not be part of the proposed Title I in the House farm bill; however, most of these programs are also not covered by the current permanent farm law. Key questions remain in the political process for a new farm bill • Will the U.S. House now pass additional legislation dealing with the Nutrition Title (SNAP) in the current farm bill, which are included in the Senate version of the farm bill? • Will the U.S Senate be willing to go to Conference Committee with the U.S. House on a new farm bill that does not include a Nutrition Title? • Will removal of the 1949 and 1938 Permanent Farm Law, which is in the House farm bill, but not in the Senate farm bill, end up in the Conference Committee farm bill? • Will the Conference Committee be able to resolve differences on dairy policy, crop insurance eligibility and other differences in the Senate and House versions of the new farm bill?

Beef producers shouldn’t focus on single trait EPDs the calves from a particular bull will be to deliver, and maternal calving ease predicts how easy the daughters of that bull are going to calve. Another popular EPD for producers looking to improve their herds is milk production, because higher milk production leads to higher weaning weights. Lemenager said it’s important for producers to consider what higher milk production means for individual cow energy requirements. For example, a 1,300-pound cow producing 30 pounds of milk a day has a 30 percent higher energy requirement than that same size cow producing 15 pounds of milk. Lemenager said that works out to an additional 9.5 pounds of good-quality hay or 5.75 pounds of grain-based supplement per day. “It’s a pretty expensive proposition if you have to supplement those cows to maintain body condition, weight and rebreed rate,” he said. “If you’re comfortable with the cow condition and rebreed rate with minimal supplementation, chances are you’re pretty close to the level of milk that you need. If cows are thin and failing to conceive, maybe you’ve got too much milk in your cows for the environment they’re working in.” Dollar index EPDs, composite EPDs

that combine several traits into a single value, can help producers narrow down their selections. “They’re a great way to scan through some bulls to sort out what kind of bull will work for a particular situation,” Lemenager said. “However, realize that these indexes are multi-trait numbers.” Producers should still look at the individual EPDs that make up the index to make sure the bull will fit their herd situation.
EPDs should only be used to compare bulls of the same breed. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Meat Animal Research Center generates and updates an across breed EPD table each year to help compare bulls of different breeds.

Expected progeny differences, or EPDs, can help beef producers evaluate bulls when looking to improve their cattle herds, but they shouldn’t focus on just one trait, a Purdue Extension beef specialist said. Instead, producers should look at deficiencies in their herds, whether it’s milk production, dystocia, poor carcass quality or slow growth, and then start looking at the EPDs that would make the largest economic impacts. “If you single-trait select for any one trait, you’ll take your herd in the wrong direction,” Ron Lemenager said. When searching for a new bull, producers commonly first examine the EPD for birth weight because it can be a predictor of dystocia, or problems with calving. But selecting a bull with an ultralight birth weight EPD might not solve that problem. “There’s a genetic correlation between birth weight and all of the growth rates,” Lemenager said. “If you select for light birth weight, you’re probably going to end up with light weaning weights, light yearling weights and a slower-growth rate kind of cattle.” He prefers comparing bulls by their calving ease EPDs rather than birth weight because it considers birth weight, calf shape and other factors. Calving ease is expressed in two ways by most breed associations. Direct calving ease predicts how easy

Minnesota gift tax effective July 1; estate tax implications As a result of the 2013 Minnesota legislative session, Minnesota now has a state gift tax effective July 1. The rules follow many of the federal gift tax rules with a few differences. The gift tax also has implications regarding the state estate laws and tax. The Minnesota gift tax allows for an annual gift exclusion of $14,000 per person per individual per year to any number of persons without any tax. Couples can combine their gifts for a
total of $28,000 per recipient if the spouses own the asset together, write separate checks for $14,000 each or file an Internal Revenue Service 709 and Minnesota gift tax form. In addition, each individual is allowed a lifetime gift exclusion of $1 million which represents a lifetime gift tax credit of $100,000. Couples can combine their lifetime exclusions as well. Gifts in excess of the annual exclusion amounts will require the donor to file an IRS 709 and Minnesota gift tax form. Gifts in excess of

the lifetime exclusion amount will also have to file the gift tax forms and the gift will be taxed at a flat rate of 10 percent. The value of gifts exceeding the annual exclusion amount made within three years of a decedent’s death will be added back into the decedent’s adjusted taxable estate to determine if Minnesota estate tax is due. This provision is retroactive applying to estates of decedents dying after Dec. 31, 2012. Gary Hachfeld, agricultural business management educator with University of Minnesota Extension, said “the good news here is the amount of estate tax due is reduced by the amount of gift tax paid on any gift added back into the decedent’s adjusted taxable estate.” The Minnesota gift tax only applies to the transfer of property located in Minnesota. It applies to Minnesota residents but also to gifts of real estate and tangible personal property located in Minnesota but owned by any nonresident. Minnesota residents who gift
real or tangible personal property located outside the state are not subject to the Minnesota gift tax. Any gift tax due is the responsibility of the donor. However, if the gift tax is not paid when due, that recipient of the gift is responsible to pay the tax. The tax is due by April 15 after the close of the calendar year in which the gift was made. There are some exceptions if the donor dies. The Minnesota lifetime gift tax exclusion amount of $1 million per person is in addition to the Minnesota estate tax exclusion of $1 million. Keep in mind there is also a Minnesota Qualified Small Business Property and Qualified Farm Property Exclusion for estates that qualify. Hachfeld stresses “it is important to check with your accountant and attorney for information about these issues specific to your situation. Professional assistance is crucial to effective gift and estate planning.” This article was submitted by University of Minnesota Extension. ❖
MyAgCentral connects farmers, advisers and precision data Farmers looking to better leverage field data and expertise from their local adviser partners now have access to a new tool. Newly launched MyAgCentral is designed to bridge the gap between farmers and their trusted local advisers, allowing both to more easily exchange data and develop plans using a single online dashboard. The dashboard lets the farmer pull data from different sources so they can see their whole operation using one login and one tool. The cloud-based system allows both the farmer and advisers to securely access and share field data, reports, recommendations, plans, maps, etc., from any location using any web-enabled device. It is also the first independent system developed to specifically enhance the relationships between farmers, agriretailers and local advisers. “Most of the cloud-based systems available to growers today are onedimensional and do not serve the needs of the modern farm,” said Steve Cubbage, owner and president of Prime Meridian Data. “MyAgCentral is different. It takes a big picture view of today’s farm in terms of technology and collaboration. It connects growers to their systems, their data and most
importantly to the people they need in order to manage their operations. It’s all about turning data into profitable decisions.” MyAgCentral is a three-tiered system providing an increasing number of tools for ag retailers and their grower clients. MyAgCentral ADVISE enhances and simplifies the delivery of precision ag services from the ag retailer to the farmer, providing information in a simple online dashboard. MyAgCentral EXCHANGE connects ag retailers, farmers and precision farming technologies, allowing the farmer and his trusted partners to create a team of advisers, all with access to the information they need to help the grower make better decisions. MyAgCentral PRODUCE provides enhanced monitoring and control of a farm operation, including irrigation, grain monitoring, telematics and GPS hardware. Growers have access to a virtual farm view with real-time monitoring of equipment and fields as well as local markets, weather and news. Farmers, ag retailers and precision farming service providers can log on to www.MyAgCentral.com for more information. ❖
