Let’s focus on improving agriculture

I

s agriculture becoming a forgotten industry?

Does the success of family farmers and ranchers, who produce more than this country consumes, allow them to be taken for granted? Can we only get public policy action when we are in crisis and farm income is being cut nearly in half?

These questions cause me to struggle with my optimism for farming and food production for all. Do consumers realize the value of food security and the abundant low-cost food they have available to them in the United States?

In North Dakota, we are limiting investment in research and development for agriculture.

Processing facilities for farm inputs and farm outputs are being built all over this country, but we are missing these opportunities. North Dakota missed an early opportunity to sign on to support for the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) which other states forwarded to President Trump. For years, trade was considered our saving grace for overproduction and now some individuals and groups support a trade war. We do wonderful community meetings to bring initiatives to rural towns, but agriculture is usually left off the table for discussion.

Nationally, we cannot get an open debate on a new farm bill and only when we are approaching elections do we see movement and dialogue.

Then, we are told we only have dollars within the

baseline to write a new farm bill. So, new concepts have to steal dollars from other programs or other crops, and even steal money from programs that feed hungry people.

In 40 years, we have seen only two dramatic demand cycles, where prices for commodities were dramatically higher than a downward trend line of farmers’ purchasing power in real dollars. One was in the 1970s when large sales to Russia occurred, and the second began in 2011 with the expansion of ethanol demand but it only lasted four years.

Farmers are told over and over to get their price from the marketplace, yet our federal government imposes rules that decrease demand.

As I write this message, the U.S. is considering a trade war. We are messing with the RFS and last month granted a compliance waiver to a crude oil refinery group due to “economic hardship,” even though the group made $1.5 billion in profits last year.

Food is essential. Feeding people is a good thing.

There are numerous concepts that could feed the world, prepare for population growth and supply a portion of our energy needs. The only limitation is our willingness to develop concepts and ideas.

With correct strategies, we could have profitable farms, better rural communities and less hungry people. Maybe it’s time to focus on agriculture and the new wealth it creates.

WE’RE A FAMILY OF COMPANIES. AND FAMILY IS ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU.

ndfu contingent attends faith, food and environment conference

BY CHRIS AARHUS AND PAM MUSLAND, NDFU

An aptly named conference, A Noble Vocation: Integrating Faith, Food and the Environment, brought together numerous organizations during a three-day event March 21-23 at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minn.

Hosted by Catholic Rural Life, the conference focused on the role of the agricultural producer in today’s global environment. Topics included the future of agriculture and environmental challenges, international challenges, the task of the pastoral leader, the changing climate, and the indigenous perspective.

Dr. John Ikerd of the University of Missouri addressed the connection between the family farm and land, emphasizing the important social aspect and stewardship associated with food and farming. “We’re still dependent upon the health of animals and the soil,” he said. “But we’ve lost some of the connectedness. When profits become 8 • May 2018 • Union Farmer

the driver, we end up with unsustainability.”

Ikerd said our physical, spiritual, and mental relationship with food has to be reflected in agriculture. “Our food system will be different in 30-40 years. The question is what do we want it to look like?”

Fr. Greg Mastey, a rural pastor for three parishes outside of St. Cloud, Minn., said communities are suffering as rural America gets smaller. “The farm socialization structure has fallen apart,” he said. “As farmers live farther apart, people in church don’t necessarily know each other anymore.”

Meg Moynihan, a dairy farmer with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, echoed his thoughts and talked about the challenges and isolation felt in rural America as communities shrink. “It’s a crisis of spirit,” she said. “Farmers feel responsible for everything but have little control over anything.”

Conference participants also heard about ongoing climate change. The amount of carbon

in the atmosphere is heading toward alarming levels, noted Dr. Thomas Ackerman of the University of Washington. He said farmers will have to adjust accordingly to produce 70 percent more food to feed the world’s population by 2050. “If we continue on this path (of carbon emissions), the climate will be less and less helpful (to agriculture),” he said.

Lutheran World Relief representatives shared how their organization is helping teach Nigerian farmers to market their grain more effectively, even taking part in loan programs. “It’s not just selling produce at the village markets, but how you get to the more profitable, regional markets,” Loretta Ishida said.

Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson speaks about the importance of agriculture.

Gregory Mastey of three rural parishes outside of St. Cloud, Minn., Sr. Ester Mary Nickel of St. John Vianney Seminary and Mennonite Church pastor Bradley Roth discuss the responsibility of the pastoral leader in today’s rural communities.

general counsel, agreed, saying marketing is a worldwide concern that is shared by farmers in the smallest of countries and those in the United States. “When you look at the list of concerns for U.S. farmers and those in the rest of the world, it’s very similar,” he said.

“Market access and integrity is a concern to all farmers.”

The five state divisions of Farmers Union Enterprises — Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Wisconsin — were gold sponsors of the event and had previously partnered with Catholic Rural Life to form the publication “Vocation of the Agricultural Leader” which was the foundation of the event.

In control of the kitchen WHETHER HE’S COOKING IN A NAVAL SUBMARINE OR AT FARMERS UNION CAMP, FRANKE IS HAPPY

J

ay Franke keeps the menu simple at North Dakota Farmers Union summer camp. Built from scratch, the chef from Jamestown pleases campers with his array of pasta, homemade pizza, barbecue dishes and more.

“The simpler the better,” said Franke, in his third summer at Farmers Union camp. “They’re grade school and high school kids. They’re not looking for filet mignon.”

Still, it can be quite the workload for the current NDSU social science education major, but he doesn’t mind. Once you’ve cooked for an entire submarine full of men, summer camp doesn’t seem so difficult.

Franke, a 2010 graduate of Jamestown High School whose parents were fourth-generation farmers, joined the Navy a year after high school.

Because of his color blindness, he was pushed toward a specific military occupation but with two interesting options.

“They said I could be a cook, and that I could either be a cook on a big aircraft carrier or a cook on a submarine,” he said. “The chance to be on a submarine — when I’m old and have grandkids, I can tell them I was on a submarine.”

It’s there he learned to cook with precision, paying attention to every detail.

“I had some of the best teachers,” Franke said. “My superior came from the White House, and we got to the boat at about the same time.

He took me under his wing. The other superior training me was the best cook on our boat. They said, ‘You’re the new guy. We want you to be good, and we’ll teach you what we know.

Story/Photo by Chris Aarhus, Editor “It’s thanks to them that we have the banquet meals the kids get at camp.”

From his first appointment, Franke recalls a particular New Year’s Day in which their boat was near the North Pole. Those taking part in that special trip were honored with the title “Bluenose,” an unofficial naval certificate that stays with them for life. As an example, other certificates include visiting the South Pole (Rednose) and going around the world (Order of Magellan).

“The captain made the announcement over the loud speaker that we were literally on top of the world — we literally went around the world in 10 minutes,” Franke said. “We can draw water into the (sub), so I have a 32-ounce bottle of water labeled ‘North Pole.’”

It wasn’t all thrills, however. Franke said communication with the outside world while serving his country in a submarine was extremely limited. No other communication exists other than email, which the crew called “snail mail.”

“You have to date your emails, because if you write 10 emails and send them off, your wife or STORY CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

CONTINUED: Franke went to North Pole mom might only get three of them and she could get them all that day, or she could get them two weeks later,” he said. “The Navy has to screen everything. They don’t want anything going through that could give away a location.”

When Franke was discharged in August of 2015, he had to settle into a different way of thinking and get ready for the next chapter in his life — college.

“I joined the military to get my college paid for,” he said. “I didn’t want to get myself into a mountain of debt. I branched out and saw a lot of things. … It was a weird transitional phase figuring out who you are again. I’m on land, and I’m always gonna be on land. I can call or text anytime I want.”

Franke signed up to cook for Farmers Union after hearing a camp ad on the radio. He said it made sense, as he went to camp when he was younger. His grandmother was a county youth director.

With the encouragement of Youth Education Supervisor Bri Sorensen, Franke named the kitchen at Heart Butte. Down the Road Diner has a menu with Franke’s personal touch.

12 • May 2018 • Union Farmer

“From breakfast to dessert to snacks, that’s all me,” he said. “It’s a lot easier than the sub. There’s a lot more space and everything’s my own. I like having that responsibility that whatever happens, I can’t blame anybody else. I’m in control of the kitchen. I take it seriously and put pressure on myself. I was taught on the sub to cook to perfection, and I still hold myself to that standard.

If some of the kids think it could be better, I don’t take it personally. I make it better next time.”

Sorensen said Franke goes above and beyond the call of duty.

“Jay is so much more than the head chef at camp,” she said. “He keeps the kids full and delivers a ‘camp-tastic’ menu. It’s also known that he makes the best campfire s’mores around.

He loves the kids and brings a vibrant energy to camp!”

Franke considers cooking at NDFU camp one of the ways he gives back. “(Farmers Union) has been in the family for years,” he said. “Respect for farmers was instilled in me from the beginning. That’s something I want to teach my kids.”

WATNE, THROENER ON AG PANEL

BY CHRIS AARHUS, NDFU

How can rural communities not only survive but thrive in today’s climate? With everybody paying more attention to agriculture.

That was the message of North Dakota Farmers Union President Mark Watne during an agricultural panel after a screening of the movie “Farmers for America” April 12 at Scheels Arena in Fargo.

The movie discussed the difficulties facing young farmers in America, not only in acquiring land but helping rural communities survive with farmers markets and other local endeavors. “(In the film), we have a lot of people trying to grow local foods and make a living,” Watne said.

“If we could help the system work, we wouldn’t have to have a Main Street Initiative, because agriculture would fix rural communities.”

NDFU District 7 Director Ronda Throener was also on the panel and said the movie was correct in its assessment of rural America.

“That’s exactly what’s happening,” Throener said.

“Schools are consolidating and the numbers are dwindling.”

NDFU was a sponsor of the event, which featured the film — produced and directed by Graham Meriweather — as well as a question and answer session with the panel. Ross Lockhart of Heart and Soil Farm near Gardner moderated the event.

The film dove into unique perspectives from young farmers across America like the Wirtz family in West Bend, Iowa, trying to pass the farm down to their son, who wants to stay in the declining rural community; a husband and wife growing local foods on vacant lots in Detroit; a California chicken farmer marketing his product solely online and delivering it to the doorsteps of his customers; a Weston, Mo., young man

whose only dream is to be a hog farmer, but has to take a job with the post office to save money for the high-priced land in his area; a sixth-generation cattle rancher from Chico, Calif., who has successfully expanded the family’s operation to include hogs and hopes to pass it down to her children.

Watne said the young Missouri farmer made an impact on him.

The college-aged man from the movie seemed to have the inside track on a piece of land for a decent price, but the owner died and his heirs opted to go with the highest bidder — China-owned Smithfield Foods, the world’s largest hog farmer and producer.

The move came right after Missouri’s legislature passed a law, allowing up to one percent of the state’s land to come under foreign ownership. Smithfield Foods had also made political contributions to legislators, who claimed that was only a coincidence.

“If you lose ownership of land to corporations, getting access to that land again is difficult,” Watne said.

Throener shared the story of her family taking a gamble on a local farm and it paying off. She

said her family is grateful for the opportunities they have received and that they continue to share their message.

“Be involved and have your voice heard,” she said. “I encourage people to come out to my farm and see what we do.”

Watne said all farmers need to stick together and fight for success.

“Don’t focus on the style of farming as much as you focus on ownership,” he said. “We get divided by commodities and compete against each other continuously. Don’t let them say organic is better or GMO is bad. Find a place you can make money and make it work. Label for success and support each other. None of us have the secret exactly. We’re all trying to figure it out and make some money while we’re at it.”

Spotlight

BY CHELSEY JACOBSON, NDFU

Melissa Pfennig of McClusky is a new leader within the Farmers Union community and has high hopes to bring new life and programs to the organization. She was recently elected president of the Sheridan County board in October 2017 and wants to start a farm safety show for the community.

“I had a lot of encouragement from friends in the community to start a farm safety show, including my fellow Sheridan County board members who were recently elected to those positions,” Pfennig said.

Pfennig grew up going to North Dakota Farmers Union camps in the summer with her friends, which is how she originally got involved with Farmers Union.

Recently, Pfennig attended the NFU Women’s Conference in San Diego in January. The conference focused on women’s leadership development and women in agriculture.

“I enjoyed seeing all the women come together and empower each other. It definitely opened my eyes to how many opportunities are out there and for positions that women can step

up into,” Pfennig said. “I’m very thankful for the opportunity, and having Farmers Union send me to the conference. It was a great group!”

Pfennig is a go-getter, has a passion for agriculture and is always on the move. In 2011, she moved to McClusky when she married her husband, Travis.

They have three young children and farm and ranch alongside her father- and mother-in law.

Two questions with Melissa What advice do you have for women wanting to get involved in leadership but are hesitant?

Just do it! If you don’t, then go to a WILD event so they can tell you to just do it!

working cows, running the combine during the harvest and helping with other duties on the farm, she also holds a fulltime job off the farm at MDU in Bismarck.

She also recently took on the role of being the second chair at the ladies’ church group in McClusky.

Pfennig said she has turned to many influential women in her life for guidance and support.

“I look up to every woman in my life that has had to juggle a career and children and still pursues their dreams,” Pfennig said. “I find myself looking to those people when I get discouraged. It helps keep me focused.”

She continues to keep an eye open in her community for more leadership roles. She enjoys being busy and taking on new challenges.

“If you want something done, ask a busy woman,” Pfennig said. ndfu.org • May 2018 • 15

Former Minnesota Vikings running back and UND legend Dave Osborn, a native of Cando and a North Dakota Farmers Union member, speaks about his playing days during a Grand Forks County Farmers Union event April 18 at the Gorecki Alumni Center on the campus of the University of North Dakota.

OSBORN SPEAKS AT COUNTY EVENT

BY CHRIS AARHUS, NDFU

Grand Forks County Farmers Union hosted UND legend and former Minnesota Vikings running back Dave Osborn on April 18 at Gorecki Alumni Center on the campus of the University of North Dakota.

Osborn, a North Dakota Farmers Union member and native of Cando, talked about his time growing up in North Dakota, his transition to UND where he became a star and his path to the National Football League by way of the Minnesota Vikings. He was introduced by UND head football coach Bubba Schweigert.

While playing for the Vikings in one specific year, Osborn made $15,000. When it came time for a raise, he signed a blank contract and told the Vikings to fill in the amount of what they felt he was worth.

“My friends said I was crazy,” Osborn said. “I thought, ‘Yeah, this might have been a bad deal.’

But I never said a word about it, and when they said I had to sign the final deal, they handed me the contract and I folded it up and put it in my pocket. He stopped and told me to look at it, and I did and it was for $35,000 a year.

“I said, ‘That’ll work!’”

Osborn said he had three keys to his success as a football player.

“The most important thing is desire,” he said.

“You don’t have to be the biggest, strongest or fastest. If you have heart, that’s the guy I want

on my team. … (Secondly), you need to be competitive and a poor loser. That doesn’t mean you make excuses and cry on shoulders, but the feeling of losing should make you sick. I play checkers with my grandson. I play to win. … (And third), you need to have a high threshold for pain.”

Osborn was the featured speaker, capping the event with his keynote. Earlier, NDFU Member Relations Specialist Mary Mertens presented information on camp and showed a camp video.

Grand Forks County Farmers Union President Paul Sproule moderated the event and drew names for door prizes that included autographed sports clothing, memorabilia and other items. Every child in attendance qualified for a camp scholarship. ndfu.org • May 2018 • 17

DRAFT OF HOUSE BILL DISAPPOINTS

After much anticipation and heated deliberations, the House Agriculture Committee released its draft of the 2018 farm bill in mid-April.

The draft includes a number of disappointments for family farmers and ranchers. First and foremost, this version of the farm bill would receive an estimated five percent less funding than the 2014 farm bill, despite NFU’s repeated calls for increased funding. This is a particularly disappointing fact considering where the farm economy is now in relation to where it was in 2014. In 2013, net farm income reached a record of $123.8 billion.

This year, it is expected to be just $59.5 billion – its lowest value since 2006. By cutting funding, Congressional leadership has hamstrung the Ag Committees’ abilities to deal with the very real economic difficulties family farmers and ranchers are currently enduring.

The Title I commodity programs, with the exception of improvements for dairy and cotton producers, are largely the same as they were in the 2014 farm bill. Price Loss Coverage (PLC) would maintain its reference prices, the threshold below which payments are triggered, for all commodities.

As a result, struggling farmers will likely not receive an adequate amount of assistance to deal with such low commodity prices.

Additionally, the House bill would entirely eliminate some provisions, such as the Conservation Stewardship Program, a working lands program that provides incentives for improving and maintaining conservation practices.

The bill would also eliminate mandatory funding for Value-Added Producer Grants, Farmers Market and Local Food Promotion Programs, the National Organic Certification Cost Share Program, all of which facilitate the development of fair and diverse markets for family farmers.

The bill contains some bad news for hungry Americans, too. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which has consistently been a point of contention in the negotiation process, may see budget cuts and more stringent work requirements for participants, even though there are already such requirements in place. As written in the House draft, individuals would be required to either acquire gainful employment or attend 20 hours of training weekly. This would cut SNAP participation by an estimated 1 million people over the next 10 years.

Farmers Union is urging Congress to pass a farm bill by the Sept. 30 cutoff, and to make sure 18 • May 2018 • Union Farmer

it actually works for the entire food system, from farmer to consumer. In particular, the organization is asking that the legislation strengthen the farm safety net by providing more funding for commodity programs and maintaining crop insurance, improve farm sustainability through strong conservation programs, and ensure fair and diverse markets by supporting programs that encourage competition and the growth of local and organic markets.

TRADE WAR WITH CHINA ESCALATES

In late March, President Trump announced his intention to levy tariffs on as much as $60 billion worth of imported Chinese goods, ranging from information technology to agriculture equipment.

The decision was intended to address the United States’ trade deficit with the country, as well as retaliate against intellectual property theft. It isn’t the first time Trump targeted China with trade threats; earlier in the month, he made it clear that tariffs on steel and aluminum were primarily meant to punish China when he exempted a number of American allies, including Mexico and Canada.

China, predictably, responded with retaliation measures of its own, declaring duties on $3 billion of U.S. exports, including a number of agricultural products such as fruit, nuts, ethanol, and pork.

Later that week, Trump doubled down with an additional $50 billion worth of duties on more than 1,300 Chinese products. China, again, reacted with a reciprocal tariff on 106 American products, ranging from soybeans and corn to whiskey and tobacco, of an approximately equivalent value.

President Trump, not to be outdone, threatened to enforce $100 billion in tariffs on top of the previous $110 billion, leading to continued market uncertainty. The Chinese government, undeterred, indicated they would not back down.

NFU reinforced its position that the Administration needs to have a plan in place to protect family farmers from the brunt of a trade war. “Farmers are dealing with severely depressed farm prices and a 12-year low in farm income, and a trade war will undoubtedly make these conditions worse,” said NFU President Roger Johnson. “We urge the president and the administration to immediately engage with the Senate and House Agriculture Committees to develop a farm bill that will protect farmers and ranchers from the collateral damage that we are seeing as a result of these actions.”

NDSU’S BOERBOOM SET TO RETIRE

BY NDSU AG COMMUNICATIONS

Chris Boerboom, North Dakota State University Extension Service director since 2012, has announced his retirement effective July 2.

Boerboom joined NDSU Extension in January 2010 as assistant director for agriculture and natural resources (ANR) and district director for five southeastern North Dakota counties. He served as interim Extension director for 4 1/2 months before being named director in May 2012.

“I want to publicly thank Chris for the tremendous work he’s done as Extension director and wish him the best in his future,” said Ken Grafton, vice president for Agricultural Affairs; dean of the College of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Natural Resources; and director of the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station. “He has led Extension with

integrity and steadiness through both positive times and challenges, and he will be missed at NDSU.” Grafton said an internal search will begin soon to find an interim director and that a national search will be carried out next year for a permanent director.

“When I applied for my original position at NDSU as ANR program leader, I was drawn to the NDSU Extension Service because it has a genuine purpose of serving all the people of the state through a county-based, specialistsupported system,” Boerboom said. “In applying for the director position, I stated that I believed in Extension. I continue to believe that NDSU Extension is serving North Dakota extremely well and will continue to serve North Dakotans even better in the future.
