Low interest loans available through the MN RFA

BY RYAN ROLES MN Rural Finance Authority

Access to credit is essential for any modern business, and that is especially true in agriculture. To help ensure that Minnesota’s farmers have access to affordable credit, the Minnesota Rural Finance Authority (RFA) was created in 1986. The RFA mission is to partner with local lenders to provide affordable credit to eligible farmers. The low-interest loans can be used to help beginning or established farmers nance upgrades or other changes to their operations.

The RFA participates with local lenders, purchasing a 45 percent interest in the lender’s loan up to $300,000 under the Beginning Farmer, Seller Assisted, and Agricultural Improvement programs. The maximum loan participation is $400,000 under the Livestock Expansion and Restructure II programs.

The RFA participation is set up on a reduced interest rate, and this lowers the interest rate the farmer pays on the loan. This lower interest rate strengthens the farmer’s cash ow, and it helps share the risk of making the loan with the lender. Loans can have an interest rate xed up to 10 years.

A beginning farmer with a net worth under $428,000 can use the RFA’s Beginning Farmer loan program to purchase farm real estate with a minimum down payment of 10 percent. For example, RFA recently helped a young farmer purchase a 1,000-head cattle feeding facility with this program. The borrower put 10 percent down and also had a family member co-sign the loan. The loan amortization was negotiated with the lender for 15 years. The current interest rate on this program is 2.75 percent.

The Seller Assisted loan program is similar to the Beginning Farmer with one exception. This program is designed to permit the sellers of a farm to fund a portion of the transaction and the borrower’s down payment is negotiable. A farmer can use the Agricultural Improvement loan program if they are looking to purchase or construct a new livestock facility, grain handling facility, machine storage building, or improve a manure system. A farmer in southeast Minnesota used this program to construct a new freestall barn to increase his dairy herd to 120 cows. By utilizing the RFA, the farmer was able to receive a reduction in interest rate of 2 percent compared to his bank interest rate. This program has a maximum net worth of $428,000 and a current interest rate of 3.25 percent.

An existing farmer looking to expand his or her livestock operation can use the Livestock Expansion loan program. A farmer can nance improvements to land and buildings as long as it is for the purpose of raising livestock. The RFA has nanced projects to construct new dairy barns, renovate old dairy barns, and upgrade barns with robotic milkers over the past few years. The maximum net worth is $806,000 and has a 3.75 percent interest rate.

The Livestock Equipment Pilot loan program allows a farmer to purchase livestock related equipment such as equipment used for animal housing, animal feeding, milk production, waste management, fences, and watering systems. A loan may be made up to 90 percent of the purchase price with a maximum loan amount of $40,000 at an interest rate of 3.0 percent.

Recently a young farmer was able to purchase a used skid loader, manure spreader, bale grinder, and bunks for his expanding dairy operation by using this program.

The Restructure II can help farmers reorganize their farm debt to improve cash ow. The maximum net worth is $806,000 with an interest rate of 3.75 percent.

Since the RFA was established in 1986, more than $178 million has been invested with these loan programs. Administration for the RFA is provided by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.

Productive rod ductive Fly Fly Free Free Cattle Catttl Startt with St iitth ClariFly Cl iiF Fl Fl ClariFly® Larvicide is a feed supplement that prevents adult house flies, stable flies, face flies, and horn flies from developing in and emerging from the manure of treated cattle.

Unlike conventional insecticides that attack the nervous system of insects, ClariFly® works by interrupting the fly’s life cycle, rather than through direct toxicity.

When mixed into cattle feed, ClariFly® passes through the digestive system and into the manure. With only very small concentrations, ClariFly® is able to disrupt the normal molting process of the fly larvae. The mode of action of ClariFly® is specific to insects. It disrupts the production of a substance called chitin, a key component of an insect’s exoskeleton that is NOT found in mammals. Without a properly formed exoskeleton, the immature fly cannot survive to adulthood.

ClariFly® should be used as part of an integrated pest management program aimed at reducing fly populations in the cattle’s environment. Begin feeding ClariFly® early in the spring before flies begin to appear, and continue feeding through the summer and into the fall until cold weather reduces or ends fly activity. ClariFly® prevents the emergence of house flies, face flies, and horn flies from the manure of treated cattle.

Feeds and supplements containing ClariFly may be fed up to slaughter and to lactating dairy cows without withholding the milk from market during or after treatment.

Rochester Area Holstein Club Scholarship opportunity The Rochester Area Holstein Club is awarding two $250 scholarships to students continuing their education enrolled in an agricultural related eld at a post-secondary school. Students must reside in one of the following counties: Dodge, Fillmore, Mower, Olmsted, Wabasha, and Winona. Application deadline is June 30, 2012. Applications are available by contacting Beth Olson, (507) 523-2291 or by e-mailing: olson_lane@yahoo.com

Wisconsin cow recognized as 2011 Holstein Association USA Star of the Breed Hazel-Bush Flap Flower has claimed the title of Holstein Association USA’s 2011 Star of the Breed. This award is given annually to one Holstein cow that not only excels in the showring, but is an exceptional milk producer as well. Flower was bred by Hazel Bush Farms, Inc., of Rice Lake, Wis., and is owned by 22-year-old Beth Nelson of Blair, Wis. To be eligible for the Star of the Breed award, a cow must place in the top ve in her class at a National Holstein Show in the award year, be in a herd enrolled in the TriStar program and have an ofcial classication score. Once the eligible cows are determined, the following calculation is used to decide the award recipient: Combined ME Fat and Protein + Age Adjusted Classication Score x (Breed Average ME Combined Fat & Protein/Breed Average Age Adjusted Classication Score).

Flower was born in July 2006, and is sired by My-John Free Flap-ET, out of Hazel-Bush Delaware Dixie. She made an outstanding milk record this past year, calving in at 4-05, producing 59,160 pounds of milk with 4.2 percent fat (2,471 pounds) and 2.9 percent protein (1,744 pounds) in 365 days. Flower is classied Excellent-92 EEEEE, scoring the maximum 50 in both rear udder height and width. In 2011, Flower was the third place Five-Year-Old at both the Midwest Spring National Holstein Show and the Mid-East Fall National Holstein Show.

Beth is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin Farm and Industry Short Course and now works fulltime with her parents, Lee and Becky, at their dairy farm. They milk 150 cows twice a day in a double-10 parabone parlor, the herd primarily comprised of Holsteins, approximately 20 percent of which are registered. The cattle are housed in sand bedded freestalls, with a pack barn for fresh cows, and their ration consists of a TMR with an ample amount of dry hay. The farm’s rolling herd average currently sits at 24,500 pounds of milk, maintaining a 98,000 SCC, which has earned them several milk quality awards. For more information about the Star of the Breed Award, visit www.holsteinusa.com/awards/animals.html

Study confirms polyethylene calf hutches favorable through summer Polyethylene hutches offer calves the option to choose individual microclimates and avoid ultraviolet rays.

A study conducted by the University of Florida’s College of Veterinary Medicine concludes that polyethylene calf hutches provide a cooler alternative to open wire hutches throughout the heat of summer months.

The study was conducted by Dr. Carlos Risco, professor of food animal reproduction and medicine service at the University of Florida’s Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences. Risco’s team’s goal was to determine calf performance and health of calves raised in polyethylene hutches with ridge top vents and rear adjustable door versus housing built of open wire during peak summer temperatures in Florida. Risco indicates that a primary component of the study was to determine the correlation between outside temperatures, the climate near each calf and overall calf health.

For the trial, 100 heifer calves born in June 2010 were randomly assigned to a Calf-Tel® polyethylene hutch or a wire hutch and remained in the allocated housing until being weaned that August. Outside temperatures in Bell, Fla., averaged 80, 83 and 84 degrees F in June, July and August respectively, with an outside temperature humidity index of 78.8 percent. High temperatures for each of the months at the location of the trial were: 98, 97 and 98 degrees F, respectively. Over the course of the study, data was collected on outside temperatures, hutch temperatures, calf weaning weights and calf respiratory rates in order to measure calf performance.

The research indicated the enclosed polyethylene calf hutches offered protection from the sun throughout the day and had the coolest temperatures inside during both the coolest and hottest parts of the day.

The combination of the polyethylene plastic and an ultraviolet-blocking pigment in the hutch material encouraged calves to stay inside the protected area during peak temperatures, while an outdoor option still allowed room for exercise.

Risco reports that, though respiratory rates and rectal temperatures increased during the warmer times of the day, calves in the hutches had fewer health problems and received fewer treatments than calves housed in wire.

People in the dairy community Former DFL Rep. Ken Tschumper to take on GOP Rep. Greg Davids It’s round three for former DFL Rep. Ken Tschumper and GOP Rep. Greg Davids.

Democrats recently endorsed Tschumper for the House District 28B seat. The La Crescent dairy farmer will take on Davids for the third time. In 2006, Tschumper pulled off a major upset, beating the longtime Preston Republican by 52 votes. Two years later, Tschumper lost his re-election bid to Davids.

Tschumper defeated Spring Valley City Council member Tony Archer to win the endorsement.

In a statement, Tschumper said that in the past two months, Davids and the Republicans have made state government dysfunctional, “catering to powerful special interest groups with extreme positions on taxes and a focus on divisive social issues. Where are the jobs they promised in the 2010 election?”

Mixed martial artist, Tommy Speer, battling cancer Last month, martial artist and dairy farmer, Tommy Speer, 27, was diagnosed with melanoma, a form of skin cancer.

Speer who farms on his family’s dairy near Elgin, Minn., underwent surgery to remove a cancerous mole from his back.

“It ended up being one of the least aggressive forms of melanoma, so the chance of it spreading to my lymph nodes was pretty low,” Speer told the Rochester Bulletin. “They made things sound Tommy Speer pretty bad to begin with; I think they were just preparing us for the worst. But really, it’s been all good news since then.”

Speer (17-6) returned to the ghting cage, May 12, to take on fellow UFC veteran Kevin Burns (105). Speer scored a huge victory in the match up with a split-decision victory.

After some recovery time, Speer said he hopes to be back in the cage again soon.

Kolb family loses a loved one John Kolb, (72) passed away May 6 at Regions Hospital in St. Paul. Survivors include his wife of 45 years, Theresa; children, Bernice (Nathan) Gerstner of Greeneld, Michael (Tanya) of Paynesville, Dale (Noreen) of West St. Paul, Alan of Richmond, David (Nicole) of Paynesville, Cheryl (Mark) McKee of St. Paul, Leon (Kimberly) of Richmond, Janell (Curt) Duppong of Dickinson, ND, Leanne (Brian) Anderson of Maple Heights, OH, Melissa (Stephen) Stang of Belgrade, Jason of Richmond; sister, Valeria (Herb) Hoppe of St. Cloud; brother in-law, Richard Nahan of St. Cloud, and 17 grandchildren.

John and Theresa worked together on the family farm near St. Martin, Minn. Their children, in 4-H, showed their cattle at the State Fair and World Dairy Expo. John was president of the Irrigator Association of Minnesota for some time and on the board of directors until he retired. He was presented the Minnesota State Irrigator of the year award. He also received a plaque and was recognized by Who’s Who Among American Farmers. He served on the Munson Township Planning Board until he retired because of poor health.

FFA names individuals as the 2012 New Century Farmers The National FFA Organization has selected 50 outstanding young people to participate in the 2012 New Century Farmer program. This exclusive, highly competitive program develops young men and women committed to pursuing a career in production agriculture.

Participants representing 24 states will take part in an intensive seminar July 8-14 in Johnston, Iowa. Some of the participants include Joshua Hitzhusen and Rob Mensing from Iowa. From Minnesota, Jason Keck, Andrew Miron, Nathan Sahr and Tyler Siegfried. Maria Turn to PEOPLE PAGE | Page 19
