OPINION

Bubble keeps feeding itself Reese then listed 78 taxes including these poetic phrases : Tax his coffin, tax his grave, tax the sod in which he’s laid. Put these words upon his tomb, Taxes drove me to my doom. When he’s gone, do not relax, It’s time to apply the inheritance tax.

He concluded, Still think this is funny? Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago and our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had no national debt, we had the largest middle class in the world, and mom stayed home to raise kids!

Solid advice And now a bit of Old Farmer’s advice: Keep skunks and bankers at a distance. Life is simpler when you plow around the stump. A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor. Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads. Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you. If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging. Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly and leave the rest to God. Growing bubble Finally this closing thought on the Washington bubble that keeps getting bigger and bigger: Total lobbying spending in 2000 was $1.6 billion. In 2010, it was $3.5 billion. And the biggest spender: Finance, insurance and real estate with $473 million spent on lobbying in 2010.

Just a coincidence that billions of “stimulus funds” to revive our economy mostly went to this very same sector?

Not likely.

will enhance the state’s biofuels industry, stepping up Minnesota’s participation in the alternative energy economy. Gas prices rising to near $4 per gallon this month underscore the importance of breaking our addiction to foreign fossil fuels.

This agreement is good news for Minnesota’s farmers and ranchers, and for our state as a whole. The agreement is also an encouraging reminder that despite vigorous disagreements elsewhere in public life, leaders from across the political spectrum understand the vital role agriculture plays in supporting Minnesota’s economy and quality of life.

That makes sense.

After all, regardless of our political convictions, we all need to eat.

••• This commentary was submitted by Minnesota Department of Agriculture Commissioner Dave Frederickson.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

MINDS, from pg. 2 Speaker, Pelosi, who stood up and criticized the president for creating deficits.

The president can only propose a budget.

He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted — by present facts — of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can’t think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it’s because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it’s because they want it in the red.

If the Army and Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it’s because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan.

If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it’s because they want it that way.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take their power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like “the economy”, “inflation” or “politics” that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

These 545 people and they alone, are responsible.

works for us all.

As expected, the budget bill features significant spending reductions for the MDA and other areas of the ag budget.

However, even in our time of financial constraint, this legislation offers important benefits for Minnesota.

• New retail food inspectors will be hired and trained, increasing the frequency of inspections and helping ensure a safe food supply in Minnesota; • The state’s anhydrous ammonia inspection and compliance activities will increase. This will make the storage and use of this fertilizer safer, thus protecting farmers, fertilizer applicators and the rural communities where storage tanks are located; • Agriculture literacy will be improved through the development and dissemination of new curricula that incorporate agriculture into core subject areas for grades K-12; and • New research and development

He suggested,

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

OPINION

on April 26 that per-ton potash prices now stand at $599, nearly $100 higher than in April 2010.

Coincidence?

If so, it’s a very coincidental coincidence, says C. Robert Taylor, the Alfa Eminent Scholar of Ag Policy at Auburn University. According to research by Taylor, Doyle made a similar observation in 2008 when potash prices soared from less than $400 per ton to a record $850 per ton for the year.

“A $100 per ton increase is worth only $0.03 to a corn farmer in the Midwest of the United States,” Doyle observed back then. “So you start doing the leverage on that, while it’s huge for us ... it’s not a big deal to the corn farmer ...

“But if you’re adding $500,” Doyle observed, “you’re only adding $0.15 to the cost of production of a bushel of corn. So you can see, we’ve got a lot of pricing room going forward and we don’t see a peak in our business.”

That any businessperson — be they peddling potash, potatoes or baloney — can predict, then pull off, such price increases suggests to Taylor that the global fertilizer market is rife with “tacit and explicit agreements on prices and market shares between producers.”

Rife may be an understatement because the global fertilizer industry is dominated by just three forces, explains Taylor, “and the first is the combined power of two government cartels, Canpotex and PhosChem.”

Next, he adds, is OCP, “a private monopoly sanctioned by Morocco;” and, third, is “a cabal of three potash companies in the former Soviet Union.”

(To read more about global fertilizer firms go to www.farmandfoodfile.com.)

The first among equals, however, are Canpotex and PhosChem. Canpotex, Taylor says, is “a potash cartel sanctioned by the Canadian government” with only three members — Potash Corp., Mosaic, controlled (and about to be divested) by Cargill, and Agrium.

Likewise, PhosChem is a phosphorus cartel — with “coincidentally,” remarks Taylor, “only two members, Mosaic and Potash Corp.” — that operates openly under something called the WebbPomerene Act, a 1918 U.S. law designed to promote cooperation between “small American” firms.

Potash Corp., of course, is neither small nor American and Mosaic-Cargill is $100 billion-big. So what gives?

To Taylor, the answer is obvious: “The red flags of market manipulation are flying everywhere and the flags of government are seen nowhere.”

This unquestioned “supra-competition” has cost U.S. farmers “on the order of $1 billion to $4 billion and in the tens of billions annually worldwide,” Taylor estimates.

All is old news. This space outlined these government-blessed, never-investigated cartels last August. Back then potash was $475 per ton; today it’s $600 and headed higher.

Coincidence?

Group educating public on nutritional value of beef

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Perfectly grilled sirloins weren’t the only topic of discussion at the recent steak fry hosted by the West Central (Minn.) Cattlemen’s Association in Morris (see story at left).

High on the priority list for cattlemen right now is the opening up of both state and federal grasslands for grazing rights. “We’re making good progress with both,” said Morris-area cattle feeder David Wulf. “They realize their costs of maintaining these lands keeps going up. They’ve had a couple years now on a ‘trial basis’ so to speak, and at this point it sounds very promising.”

Grazing privileges work like this: The state or federal folks provide the

fencing materials and stake out the boundaries. The cattleman or group of cattlemen do the fencing. The cost is a pre-agreed-to fee of so much per cow per month.

Benefits to the state and federal agencies are a significant reduction in yearly expenses, much better control of noxious weeds, cleaning up of undergrowth so much better nesting conditions for birds, plus eliminating the costly controlled burns which destroys nesting cover.

“With more concerns about feeding the world, this simply is using state and federal lands to help produce food,” Wulf said. “Plus grazing cattle

Animal rights legislation simmering in state legislature have focused their arguments that penalties should be increased for individuals who fraudulently represent themselves to gain entrance onto a farm or facility and stage negative portrayals of agriculture.

• From the MNFRAC’s perspective, true “whistleblowers” would notify the appropriate authorities and/or take immediate steps to end witnessed abuse, rather than to hold the footage and orchestrate elaborate media and fundraising campaigns.

A springboard for the Minnesota legislation was the Minnesota AgriGrowth Council which became aware of Iowa’s similar legislation. Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation Public

Policy Director Chris Radatz pointed out that as the proposed legislation winds its way through various committees amendments get attached and the process simply slows.

Inevitable is the barrage of e-mail being directed to both Hamilton and Magnus with virtually all of it on behalf of animal rights. “They’re well organized. They create an audience real quick and the internet obviously has become their communications network.

“If you want to see what’s going on in a facility, tell the owner straight up but don’t engage in outright lies,” Magnus said. As of mid-April, hearings had not yet been scheduled in the Minnesota House or Senate.

to Minnesota after the war. He was 14 years old when his family emigrated from Germany in 1856 to settle in Cook County Illinois. He joined the 2nd Illinois Cavalry in 1861 and saw action in many major battles, including Shiloh, Vicksburg and Nashville.

Stolt took a minie ball through his right lung and later had it cut out through his back.

In 1867 Stolt claimed 160 acres in Section 8 in Nicollet Township, southwest of the town of Nicollet, Minn., dubbed one of the best farms in the area. He later acquired 60 acres of lumber land as well as 240 acres of good farmland south of Madelia in

Watonwan County, Minn.

Stolt and his first wife, Johanna, had two daughters; he and his second wife, Augusta, raised eight children.

An 1897 account of Stolt illustrates his success as a farmer by describing their building site and the two-story brick home built in 1881. The house with a “pretty yard in front, the grove, orchard, barn and other farm buildings, modern windmill etc., are well kept and give evidence of the prosperity which has attended the welldirected efforts of the owner.”

Stolt was active in local politics, served as justice of the peace, school clerk, township supervisor and county commissioner. He died in 1917, but a number of Stolts still live in the Nicollet area.

These men represent thousands who sacrificed their lives for the preservation of their nation, then turned their attention to establishing successful farms and becoming leaders in their growing communities.

with Lucius in Ladysmith, Wis. Charles H. Hopkins, the grandson of a Revolutionary War soldier, was among those arriving in Minnesota after the war.

Born in New York in 1844, he moved to Wisconsin with his family in 1861. Hopkins enlisted with the 13th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry in 1863.

He fought valiantly and refused a furlough when he contracted black measles. After the war ended, Hopkins returned to Wisconsin where he worked in a dairy and as a clerk.

Hopkins moved to Minnesota in 1869 and homesteaded 160 acres in Renville County near Fairfax. Three years later he married Susan Cushman, the granddaughter of a War of 1812 veteran. They raised three children on their farm.

Hopkins was a political leader, first as a Republican and later as a Populist. He also served on the school board and as a justice of the peace for 21 years.

Although he didn’t see action in Minnesota during the Sioux War, Hopkins played a prominent role in erecting the Fort Ridgley Monument in 1896. Hopkins’ daughter never married, and his two sons moved farther west.

By CAROLYN VAN LOH The Land Staff Writer The Civil War impacted Minnesota agriculture two ways.

First, many Minnesota farmers left their farms and families behind to fight with the Union forces. Second, the population increased from 172,000 residents in 1860 to 248,000 five years later.

Farmers and veterans lured by the promise of productive farm land accounted for some of the swelling population.

New York farmer Willard Thayer, his wife of five years and their children Lucius and Sarah traveled by ox team, boat and train from Ohio to settle in Le Sueur County, Minn., near Cleveland in 1856. Thayer farmed 80 acres until 1889 when he moved into Cleveland.

The son of a War of 1812 veteran, Thayer interrupted his farming to join the 2nd Minnesota Volunteer Infantry when the call went out for more recruits in 1864. He served in the Union army and participated in Sherman’s march to the sea. Thayer was among the victorious soldiers who participated in the grand review in Washington, D.C. After a fulfilling life as a Minnesota farmer, Thayer, recognized as a staunch Democrat, died a few weeks short of his 100th birthday while living

Grain Outlook Planting still falling behind

Livestock Angles Domestic slips, exports surge

Grain Angles Wheat stocks being impacted

Editor’s Note: Tim Emslie, Country Hedging market analyst, is sitting in this week for Phyllis Nystrom, the regular “Grain Outlook” columnist.

■ This market analysis was written for the marketing week ending April 29.

CORN — This is the time of year when planting weather is always top of mind, but volatility this week in the form of two 30plus-cent moves didn’t seem to have much relationship to any changes in the weather forecasts.

A broader sell-off in commodity TIM EMSLIE Country Hedging markets spilled over into the St. Paul fund liquidation seen during the initial limit down move on Thursday. Open interest declined as the price was going down, indicating liquidation of existing long positions. Nearby corn futures hit the lowest price since March, which allowed some end-users to see value in the market.

The week ended with a mirror image of the limit down move the previous day. For the week, nearby futures were up 16 3/4 cents. The December contract was a bit quieter, finishing up just 4 cents for the week.

Planting progress continues to fall behind the average pace. The five-year average as of May 8 is 59 percent. We are hearing of progress in parts of the western Corn Belt, but we don’t expect to see much happen during the week of May 1-7 in Eastern states, specifically Indiana. Missouri did get a substantial portion of the crop planted prior to the heavy

The livestock markets continued their recent rally into the Easter holiday.

Exports have been the catalyst behind the continued rally as domestic demand seems to be faltering.

The main reason behind the shift from domestic consumption to the export market seems to be the weakening U.S. dollar. This is making domestic prices rise curbing the demand, while the cost to import U.S. meat products becomes cheaper.

The cattle market has slipped off its high in recent weeks as numbers of market-ready cattle have been on the increase.

JOE TEALE Slaughter is ahead of a year ago, Broker causing beef production to be Great Plains Commodity clearly ahead of last year. The Afton cold storage reports have continued to indicate beef is still moving into storage for the past several months.

Beef cutouts look as if they have found the area where they have met resistance from the retail buyers. Above the $190 per hundredweight area basis choice has proven to be the soft spot and prices have dropped rapidly from this level as packers realize to move the product they are going to have to discount.

On April 21, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released a Monthly Cattle on Feed Report. The results were: On feed as of April 1, 105 percent of the previous year; placed during March, 103 percent; and marketed during March, 104 percent. The report is seen as neutral as it fell close to pre-report estimates.

The fact that there is 5 percent more cattle on feed coupled with a larger supply of beef in cold storage

As we wait for spring to arrive, Mother Nature tests our patience once again. When comparing our planting conditions today with last year, we see a picture of contrast. While much of the corn crop was planted by this time last year, we struggle to see field work begin.

Grain markets have taken note of the late planting and the battle for corn and soybean acres. The dry weather in the Plains has had a dramatic impact on the winter wheat crop. This is reminiscent of the drought that the Black Sea area experienced last year.

TOM NEHER While we have ample stocks of wheat in storage, the soft wheat AgStar VP Agribusiness & Grain Specialist prices will compete with corn in Rochester many of the livestock feeding areas of the southeastern United States. This could draw down existing inventory as wheat is substituted for corn in livestock feed rations.

These volatile market conditions are reflected in the prices being traded for grain. If one only looks at the current prices, they would conclude that the grain producers are all selling grain at these current levels. Yet, this is not the case for the vast majority of grain producers.

Much of the grain has been priced at lower prices than the market shows today.

With last year’s early planting in almost perfect conditions, the grain markets were expecting a “bin buster” crop and the prevailing sentiment was that prices would be much lower at harvest. Much of last

Emslie: Acreage shift keeps pressure on soybeans ing stages to account for the later planting. There is a yield drag associated with later planting, but it is only one of many factors that influence yield.

Ethanol production rebounded strongly this week to 883,000 barrels per day, up 3.2 percent from the previous week. It appears that the drop the previous week was the anomaly based possibly on plant maintenance rather than margin considerations. Ethanol’s discount to Reformulated Blendstock for Oxygenate Blending gasoline reached the highest level since June 2008 this

Go with hog tendencies TEALE, from pg. 12 will make it difficult for prices to advance considering the supplies available.

With seasonal tendencies for the cattle market to top in the late-spring, the market seems vulnerable to further weakness in the weeks ahead. Therefore producers should seek some protection for late-spring and summer inventories.

The hog market has continued to be on a price advance as packers have been actively seeking live inventory.

The demand for pork product has been active, especially in the export arena with fairly steady domestic demand

which has supported the recent strength in the market. The cold storage reports continue to show plenty of pork product in storage.

As we approach the summer season, the seasonal tendencies usually point toward a top in the hog market. This year should prove to be no different than in previous years and a top should be in place by the end of summer. Considering the huge premiums the futures market is reflecting at this point, there is likely to be a divergence between the cash price and the futures in the weeks ahead. This should be an opportunity for producers to consider a cautious approach and take advantage of these large premiums and protect inventories.

‘We’ll take what we get’ dangerous for those looking to acquire additional land to produce grain.

Under these conditions, it is easy to conclude that positive profit margins will prevail. Grain prices may remain high, yet the prices of land, seed, fertilizer and steel can squeeze margins nevertheless. Given these tendencies, margin management is still the most powerful “Grain Angle” in the tool box.

As the cool, wet spring continues to test our patience; I can still remember my Grandmother. She was a strong woman who raised her family during the Dust Bowl and the Depression. Yet, Grandmother was prone to worry.

When the weather began to get the best of her, we all felt her anxiety. It was during these times that I can remember my Grandpa telling her; “Mommy, I guess we will have to do like we used to, we will just take what we get.”

This never seemed to comfort her, yet the rest of us knew this was wisdom in practice.

the releases from the government stockpiles that are aimed at reducing food inflation.

China barely registered in this week’s weekly export sales totals. The weekly total was an anemic 5.3 million bushels for 2010-11. Chinese imports for March were 3.51 million metric tons, down from 4 mmt in March 2010.

The March Census crush total released on Thursday came in just above expectations at 140.3 million bushels. However, expectations were low because of the National Oilseed Processors Association industry report earlier in the month, and 140.3 million bushels for March does not suggest that the crush pace is exceeding expectations. We have seen meal basis improve slightly due to the slowing crush. Farmer selling has been minimal of late.

OUTLOOK: National planting progress was to be released for the first time in 2011 on May 2.

Chinese oversupply and the threat of acreage being shifted to soybeans have kept pressure on the soybean market. It remains possible that the Chinese supply situation will diminish by early summer. As for the 2011 production issues, weather will dictate as usual. Look for resistance in the November contract at the recent high of $14.11, with support at $13.22.

MARKETING

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

NEHER, from pg. 12 year’s and some this year’s crops were priced earlier in the crop year as the crops looked stellar.

Marketing moves that looked like good margin management decisions, lead to frustration as prices reacted to the nutrient and heat challenges in much of the Midwest growing areas.

The early selling of crops has driven the market prices higher as there is less grain for sale as buyers enter the bidding process. When a buyer wants to buy grain they present a bid that is countered by an offer from the seller. If there are fewer sellers with grain to sell, the buyers have to bid a higher price to attract a willing seller. With less grain to sell, there are fewer sellers who are willing to accept the lower bids of the buyers.

The current market conditions have lead to the runaway land prices that threaten the profitability that is assumed by the investor or landowner community. This market mentality is

week, closing at 82 cents.

Blending incentive is high, and we’ve heard that Arizona blenders intend to incorporate ethanol into their summer blends for the first time this summer.

Weekly export sales were quite poor at 13.7 million bushels for the 2010-11 marketing year. One possible reason is the disruption in supply being caused by high water levels on the nation’s river systems, preventing exporters from being able to ensure supply. We have seen processor basis levels show some firmness despite the lack of completion from the river/export bids.

OUTLOOK: The price incentives are in place for farmers to plant the intended 92.2 million acres shown in March, but the question is whether conditions will allow. One key area to watch is North Dakota and South Dakota, because such a large piece of the intended increase in corn acres was in those states. Resistance for the December contract is at the high of $6.84. If it appears that farmers will be able to plant 92 million acres, look for a pullback to support at $6, with a potential test of the high on hold until another growing season threat emerges.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans rallied just 12 1/4 cents in the nearby contract last week, while the new-crop beans lost 8 1/4. The main issue has been the absence from the market of the largest buyer — China. Supplies at crushers have been backing up with help from

in 2012 and 2013, reaching 400,000 cells per milliliter in 2014. The current standard is 750,000 cells, established back in 1993.

The NCIMS has rejected numerous attempts to tighten standards over the past two decades, said Dairy Profit Weekly editor Dave Natzke, but last year the European Union tightened guidelines for milk and dairy ingredients used in any foods it imports, and failure to meet those standards could have a negative impact on U.S. dairy exports.

■ Meanwhile, another undercover video has surfaced depicting blatant animal cruelty on a Texas cattle ranch. The National Milk Producers Federation’s Chris Galen said the video came from the animal rights group “Mercy for Animals,” a group that produced videos last year from dairy farms in New York and Ohio, a veal operation, and now this ranch in west Texas that raises dairy and beef calves.

“The scenes were disgusting and very deeply disturbing,” Galen said, “and another example of the fact that we always have to be vigilant about what happens on everyone’s operation because this is another case of a bad apple potentially spoiling the whole barrel.”

Galen said “it’s a wakeup call for the entire industry again that we need to have good training programs in place for everyone on these farms because it only takes a few people who don’t understand what proper animal care rules are to besmirch and to despoil the image of the entire livestock sector.”

He said that this is a “deeply disturbing practice” illustrated in the video and he reminded listeners that the National Dairy Farm program, developed by the NMPF, is “very clear that they don’t allow for the types of euthanasia that apparently was practiced on this farm and don’t allow animals to be struck or dragged or the variety of things certainly not acceptable that were depicted on the video.”

“More importantly than just having the guidelines in place,” he said, “they need to be followed by everyone working on these operations.”

■ Last, but not least, I announced on Friday’s broadcast that I am retiring from the DairyLine microphone after almost 23 years. DairyLine’s parent company, DairyBusiness Communications, offered and I accepted an early retirement package and Bill Baker will become the new host of DairyLine.

It has been an honor and a privilege for me to have served this great industry in this capacity. DairyLine was an idea the Lord put on my heart in 1988, after doing a local farm program in Lynden, Wash., for several years and it grew beyond my wildest imagination. I will continue to write my weekly column and I thank my listeners and readers for the confidence and trust that I have so enjoyed these past 23 years.

The Johnson clan gives four out of four ‘yums’ to Mary J o ’s R e q u e s t e d B e a n D i p

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

1 apple, chopped 2 pears, chopped 1/4 cup sugar 1/8 cup orange juice 1 tablespoon onion, finely diced 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup oil 1 1/2 tablespoon poppy seeds Combine the lettuce, cheese, craisins, cashews, apple and pears in a large salad bowl. Toss gently.

For dressing, combine the sugar, orange juice, onion, salt, oil and poppy seeds; pour over lettuce mixture, toss gently and serve.

■ Color, color and more color! Snappy vegetables, tangy seasonings and a touch of sweetness make this bean dip recipe anything but boring. Go ahead and spoon it up thick: It’s actually good for you. Teenyboppers and old folks alike chowed it down at our house: four out of four yums. (My sons do add that they would have added diced jalapeño, but I like it without.)

Mary Jo’s Requested Bean Dip 1 can pinto beans, rinsed and drained 2 cans black eyed peas, drained 1 can whole kernel corn, drained 1 small jar pimento 1 small purple onion, diced 1 medium red or green pepper, diced 3/4 cup cider vinegar 1 tablespoon water 1/4 cup olive oil 1 tablespoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1 cup sugar or Splenda Combine the first four ingredients. Add the purple onion and red or green pepper; set aside. Combine the vinegar, water, olive oil, salt, pepper and sugar or Splenda. Bring to a boil and cool. Pour the mixture over the ingredients in the bowl; mix and marinade overnight. Serve with tostada or corn chips.

■ Loaded with robust seasonings and rich cream, I’ve included Hoglin’s mushroom soup recipe in the hopes that some readers are finding morels this spring. Any kind of mushroom will do.

Well Accepted Mushroom Soup 1 quart beef stock 8 tablespoons butter, divided

1 cup onion, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 cups fresh mushrooms, sliced 1 tablespoon dill weed 1 tablespoon paprika 1/8 teaspoon white pepper 1/2 cup flour 2 cups heavy whipping cream 3 tablespoons sour cream 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 tablespoon soy sauce For an easy beef stock, heat 1 quart of water over high heat in medium saucepan; add 2 tablespoons beef base, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce and 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce. Stir to dissolve base and set aside.

In a large saucepan, sauté onion, garlic and salt in 4 tablespoons butter until onion is tender. Stir in mushrooms, dill weed, paprika and white pepper.

Add half of the beef stock. Cover and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in another saucepan, melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter over low heat.

Whisk in flour and cook until smooth, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Add cream and continue to cook over low heat, stirring frequently, for 8-10 minutes. Add this cream and the remaining beef stock to mushroom mixture. Stir in sour cream, lemon juice and soy sauce. Heat through.

■ Spring is the best (only?) time for asparagus, and Asparagus Egg Bake takes it to sublime heights with a creamy, cheesy white sauce, toothsome hard-boiled eggs and a butter crumb topping. Serve for brunch — but any time of the day or night would be fine by me.

Asparagus Egg Bake 18 asparagus spears 1/4 cup butter or margarine 1/4 cup flour 3/4 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 cups milk 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded 1/8 teaspoon red pepper 4 hard-cooked eggs, sliced 1/4 melted butter or margarine 3/4 cup cracker crumbs Cook asparagus spears in boiling salted water for 10-20 minutes, or until just tender. In a saucepan, melted 1/4 cup butter and stir in flour and salt.

Blend in enough milk to make a smooth paste. Stir in remainder of milk and cook over medium heat until white sauce is thick, stirring constantly. While white sauce is hot, stir in shredded cheese and red pepper. Stir until cheese is melted.

In a greased 1 1/2-quart baking dish, layer half of asparagus, sliced eggs and white sauce. Repeat ingredients to make a second layer. Top with cracker crumbs mixed with 1/4 cup butter. Bake at 350 F or 30 minutes, or until mixture bubbles. Place under broiler for two minutes to brown top.

<< MILKER’S MESSAGE >>

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent Talented Brainerd Dispatch food writer Diane Hoglin has published a cookbook, “Kitchen Keepsakes

by Diane’s Delights,” and delightful it certainly is.

An attractive hardcover with 250 homestyle recipes using readily available ingredients, “Kitchen Keepsakes” has recipes for real people with real kitchens and real schedules and real families. It features a larger typeface so it’s easier to read — and large type is a godsend when you’re up to your elbows in some sort of mess and craning your neck to see what the recipe says.

Hoglin grew up in a family of seven children and says they never ate out: If Mom was sick of cooking, Dad took over. Her recipes and anecdotes reflect this entwined love of food and family. Northern Minnesota is just a little warmer with cooks like Hoglin around.

Here are some of my favorites from the book, although it was hard to choose from among so many gems.

■ A ragout is a beef and vegetable stew that’s usually seasoned with wine and herbs and simmered on the stovetop instead of in the oven. Hoglin’s recipe features not only the obligatory potatoes and carrots but also their delicious cousins — parsnips, rutabaga, turnips and sweet potato.

Larry’s Vegetable and Beef Ragout 4 tablespoons olive oil 2 pounds chuck roast beef, cubed 2 cloves garlic, minced 3 tablespoons flour 1 cup chicken broth 1 cup dry white wine 2 large carrots, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces 2 parsnips, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch rounds 1 rutabaga, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces 2 turnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces 1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 bay leaf Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy bottomed-skillet. Brown beef in several batches, removing to a separate dish as they are done. Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic to pan juices and sauté until soft. Remove with a slotted spoon. Whisk flour into remaining pan juices. Stir constantly, scraping the bottom of the pan gently, until flour is golden.

Gradually whisk in broth and wine until blended.

Add browned beef, garlic and vegetables to pan.

Sprinkle with seasonings; mix well. Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat; cover and simmer gently 1 1/2 hours until beef and vegetables are fork tender.

■ An easy-to-assemble salad that’s an edible work of art, Craisin Cashew Salad is meant to be shared with a group, so clip this recipe for the next time you are hosting a family gathering or potluck.

Craisin Cashew Salad 1 bag romaine lettuce 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded 1 cup craisins 1 cup cashews

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondents Tim King (story) and Jan King (story)

Artistic taqueria hen Juan Carlos Mejia worked in the W big meat packing plants in Nebraska he dreamed of the day when he would own

La Michoacana, Long Prairie, Minn.

his own grocery store, meat market and even a little taqueria or cafe.

Now, more than a decade after he left IBP to come to Long Prairie, he has the store and meat market. They are called La Michoacana, which signifies a person from the Mexican state of Michoacan. A little over a year ago he opened the taqueria.

The food is cooked by his mother and a helper and includes a carryout menu of burritos, quesadillas, chile rellonos, tortas or Mexican sandwiches, gorditas and a number of items your average non-Mexican is unfamiliar with. The taqueria is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday in order to best serve the Spanish-speaking factory and farm workers of the area.

Courthouse office workers have also begun to find their way down the narrow aisles to the taqueria in the back of the store for Friday lunch. Mejia knows that for many of the office workers, walking down those aisles is like going into a different country. He knows because he feels the same way in some of the other stores in town. He’s talked about ways to overcome those feelings for his customers.

But, for now, the English-speaking customers have to settle for his mother’s excellent cooking and the colorful murals.

The murals were part of the dream. One Sunday a couple of years ago, Mejia met an itinerant artist in church. He invited him to visit La Michoacana. Then, over a year’s time, the two created a gallery of colorful images.

Their inspiration was the pages of a Mexican calendar, as well as their own imaginations.

On one wall of the taqueria visitors will discover the pyramid of the sun and of the moon along with Aztec deities. On the opposite wall is a river rushing through a Mexican town surrounded by orchards.

The murals are not limited to the taqueria, however. There are bright red roses and a green fearsome soccer-playing eagle over doorways and shelves in the store. Some paintings are tucked in corners of the store where only adventuresome customers go. If you don’t have the time or money to go to Mexico but do have the inclination, visit La Michoacan in downtown Long Prairie.

Good food, colorful paintings and a memorable experience will reward you.
