million acres more fruit production, 6.5 million acres more vegetable production and 11 billion pounds more milk than produced domestically.

We have enough, however, only — ironically — because of soaring imports.

According to the USDA, the value of vegetable imports to the United States doubled from $3.4 billion in 1998 to $7 billion in 2007. Simultaneously, the value of fruit and nut imports nearly tripled, from $5.5 billion to $14 billion.

“We’re so focused on commodities,” says Tagtow, “that we’re increasingly relying on other countries to provide us with food.”

Searching for a balance, Tagtow and fellow dietician Susan Roberts examined what this food policy means for Iowa, a state of agricultural bounty but not agricultural diversity. Their discoveries are detailed in “Cultivating Resilience,” a 56-page, February 2011 report outlining the state’s food strengths and weaknesses.

For example, while only 0.04 percent of all Iowa farmland grows fruits and vegetables, 85 percent of the nearly $9 billion spent annually on food in Iowa leaves the state. (Links to “Cultivating Resilience” See GUEBERT, pg. 4

Commentary: USDA invests in Minnesota organic farmers

THE LAND, MAY 20, 2011

Minnesota farmers transitioning to organic systems and established organic producers now have an opportunity to apply for Environmental Quality Incentives Program Organic Initiative funding to assist their organic efforts.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently announced another $50 mil-

lion in funding for the EQIP Organic Initiative, which provides a 75 percent share of the cost of implementing organic conservation measures to those who qualify — 90 percent for beginning, limited-resource and socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers.

This is the third year of the Organic Initiative. In 2010, Natural Resources Conservation Service obligated $24 million nationally with over $1 million going to Minnesota organic farmers.

This year even greater funding is available for Minnesota producers to plan and implement conservation practices that address natural resource concerns in ways that are consistent with organic production.

OPINION

Feeding neither GUEBERT, from pg. 3 and Daryll Ray’s “Policy Pennings” are posted at www.farmandfoodfile.com.)

Facts like that suggest there might be a better future feeding America rather than feeding the world. Right now, we’re doing neither.

••• Alan Guebert’s “Farm and Food File” is published weekly in more than 70 newspapers in North America. Contact him at agcomm@farmandfoodfile.com.

The deadline for this application period is May 20.

The Center for Rural Affairs has a long history of assisting family farmers and ranchers in accessing new conservation programs. We created an EQIP Organic Initiative fact sheet available at www.cfra.org/node/2509 and we operate a farm bill helpline where producers can call (402) 687-2100, ask for the Farm Bill Helpline and speak to a real person who can help producers receive assistance in accessing new programs like the EQIP Organic Initiative.

The Farm Bill Helpline can also assist farmers and ranchers with the Conservation Stewardship Program, the Cooperative Conservation Partnerships Initiative, the Value Added Agricultural Market Development Program and a host of beginning farmer and rancher programs.

Seeley is well aware that most farmnormal temperatures, therefore less-

ers missed the optimum April 24-May 10 planting season for corn. Last year 63 percent was planted

by April 25.

With continued planting delays, decreased yields are inevitable. U of M Extension research over the past three years showed corn yield was reduced by an average of 3 percent when planting was delayed from late-April to mid-May and by 15 percent for planting delays until late-May (the equivalent of 1/2 bushel per acre per day).

However, crop maturity was reduced by just four to five days for each two-week delay in planting beyond late-April.

So when do you consider switching to earlier maturities, if available?

According to Jeff Coulter, U of M Extension corn agronomist, “a general guideline is to stick with your planned seed choices until May 25. When planting between May 25 and May 31 planting hybrids five to seven days earlier relative maturity is advised.

“Obviously planting corn in June is risky because of potential frost damage before the crop reaches maturity.

You reduce that risk if you plant hybrids at least eight to 15 days earlier relative maturity than full season.”

So in view of what’s happened so far in 2011, is this year an abnormal year? Seeley used See WEATHER, pg. 9

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer “It makes a much better environmental learning center than it did farm ground,” said Dennis Peterson, Kandiyohi County (Minn.) commissioner and a key “instigator” that led to the Prairie Woods Environmental Learning Center.

Peterson should know. He used to farm 60 acres of land now included in this outdoor classroom.

This 20-year-old facility today fairly “reeks” with environmental awareness. Located about 11 miles north of Willmar and 2 miles west on County Road 29 off Highway 71, PWELC now has its embracing arms wrapped around nearly 500 acres of wooded hills, a few frog and duck potholes, a historic farm site campus including a pioneer cabin and barn, and acres and acres of nature enriched hiking trails.

Lake Florida buffers the north side, Florida sloughs abound to the west, private hunting land lies to the south and Conservation Reserve Program acres and pasture land make up the eastern boundary.

April 16 was an Earth Day celebration at Prairie Woods. Part of the goodies included a tasty pancake and sausage breakfast, an indoor climbing wall, tiedying your own T-shirt plus a puppet show “Are You Thirsty?” presented by In the Heart of the Beast, a

“Are You Thirsty?” demonstrated, through cleverly costumed and animated puppeteers, how much of the Earth’s water is available for drinking, compares tap and bottle water and helped youth of all ages (including many adults in the audience) better understand the importance of water in the cycle of life. It was noted that Americans now spend about $21

billion a year for bottled water.

Each of the past two years, more than 20,000 youth have visited the center.

“We’re drawing from nearly a 100-mile radius. Bus loads of students, all ages from K up through grade 12, are now adding Prairie Woods to their yearly science adventure trip,” Peterson said.

Students and schools pay a nominal fee to participate. However the PWELC, in cooperation with Kandiyohi County government, maintains a

small fund to help defray the costs for visiting students. “We direct about $150,000 from our county budget but this center is getting close to becoming self-sustaining,” Peterson said, and that includes self-sufficient on its energy costs as well.

PWELC has its own 20Kw Jacobs wind turbine; it burns biomass pellets for supplemental heat; it has large solar panels harnessing “free heat” from the sun; and it even has an electric powered Ford Ranger pick-up converted to all electric with batteries recharged each night by the wind generator.

As part of the PWELC’s ongoing biomass energy functions, volunteer Bob Ryan, Bird Island, Minn., entrepreneur in biomass fuels, was burning biomass pellets in a small stove convenient for youth and marshmallow roasting.

“Biomass is becoming a very competitive fuel, especially here in the Upper Midwest where we have an abundance of biomass feedstocks in our freshly harvested corn, soybean and wheat fields,” said Ryan, whose firm is European Energy Connections and available at www.eeconnections.net.

“Here at Prairie Woods we’ve provided biomass pelleted fuels for two years and have cut their heating costs about 50 percent compared to LP gas.

Today we’re using hardwood pellets but we’ve burned biomass ag residue products such as soybean straw and sunflower hulls and some secondary wood waste. We’ve even blended some navy beans into our product to come up with the necessary BTU heat values and reduce ash level.” The goal of biomass pellets for fuel is 8,000 BTU’s per pound See PRAIRIE, pg. 13

Today more than 200 names (starting at the $100 gift level) are listed as contributors for this bluff-top building with picturesque views over much of the scenic vistas of PWELC. Also important to the ongoing programs of PWELC is a long-standing partnership with United Way of West Central Minnesota which recently issued a $16,500 grant to support three program areas: Serious Fun!, Everyone Outside! and Bridging Ages and Cultures through Time Travel and Living History. Time Travel programs help youth learn about the early immigrant history of Kandiyohi County and how relationships to the land and each other are shaped by the technology of the day.

Dave Pederson, PWELC executive director, said the center currently serves about 60 school districts each year plus 4-H, FFA and Boy Scout troops are also frequent visitors and users of the center.

That list also includes church groups, athletic teams, even corporate and company groups find the Center a great place to unwind, get a focus on the real world, and get a special touch of nature that often does wonders for better on-the-job performance.

“Athletic teams come for our extensive Challenge Course programs which involve team building programs for school groups, corporate groups, church groups and youth groups,” Pederson said. That Challenge Course features a two-level circuit course, Flying Squirrel and Giant’s Ladder. The PWELC is a year-round facility with about 6 miles of hiking and cross-country ski trails for the winter enthusiast. It also has rental ski and snow shoe equipment.

“Everything we do at Prairie Woods is geared to getting people connected with the outdoors,” he said, and that means special classes on better understanding the environment; getSee PRAIRIE, pg. 14

replicas of structures dating back from 8,000 years ago.

Important to the financial history of this Center were significant donations by people and organizations throughout this west central Minnesota community.

Peterson mentioned the Early Olson family legacy and the Linder Foundation, both from the Willmar community, were instrumental in providing funds for the buildings. However, the key instigator for the idea of this particular environmental learning center was Gary Westby, Department of Natural Resources area conservation officer for this part of Minnesota.

“He had the early vision for this center, even this location. Gary unfortunately was killed in an auto accident so the building hosting the pancake breakfast today, and many other events (including weddings and family reunion celebrations) through the year, is called the Westby Memorial Building and was funded by memorial gifts on behalf of Gary,” Peterson said.

Westby’s wife later died from cancer and memorial gifts on her behalf were also dedicated to this particular build-

The main campus at PWELC now operates almost entirely with renewable energy. The buildings are heated by a high-efficiency biomass boiler, pellet stoves, solar hot air panels and passive solar. Water is heated by a Solar Skies solar panel manufactured in Alexandria, Minn. The main exhibit hall is heated by a Countryside pellet stove manufactured in Hutchinson, Minn., by American Energy Systems. The maintenance building is heated by 16 solar panels which, in a previous life, had heated a swimming pool at the MinnWest Technology Campus in Willmar, when that facility was a Minnesota Regional Treatment Center.

Prairie woods indeed. Red Cedar, oak, maple, ash and elm predominate throughout the center. Recently a page of Native American history was also discovered on the grounds of the PWELC. Checked out by the Minnesota Historical Society, a large mound on one of the wooded hilltops with the Center was identified as an ancient Indian burial site about 1,200 years old with

With a keen eye to the future, Pederson said that the next generation of voters, policy makers, and land owners are in fourth, fifth and sixth grade today. “So we know that getting these younger kids involved and connected to nature is important to the future of our community, our state and nation.”

Minnesota now has seven environ-

mental learning centers across the state.

Some offer residential dormitory space and food service. The PWELC doesn’t have overnight accommodations although Boy Scout Troop 13 of St. Cloud was “camped out” on the floor of the Pioneer Barn the weekend of Earth Day. “We’re known as a ‘day-use’ facility so we work more within our own communities. However we do residential programs in collaborations with Green Lake Bible Camp and Decision Hills camp which houses the kids which then are bused here for a day of science fun and learning. Or we provide

staff at their facilities for ‘on-site’ instruction,” Pederson said.

The PWELC also functions as a host site for special teacher training sessions for things like the Master Naturalist Program. If you want to experience the “up close and personal” look at nature’s plant life and wildlife, both abound at this center. The PWELC for example has a deer population estimated at about 200 head.

Red Tail hawk, pheasants, bald eagle, many different raptors and wild turkeys abound. And to assist handicapped and disabled people, the PWELC also does special “wheel chair” deer and turkey hunts each fall and spring, respectively.

Special trailers towed behind 4 x 4 ATVs take the participants into the woods at PWELC. “We have eight blinds and we have a dedicated group of volunteers that handle this entire program each spring and fall.”

The PWELC has a small core staff with Deb Anderson coordinating the Challenge Course programs and Kory Klebe coordinating the Environmental Education programs and the youth shooting sports programs. Archery shooting with recumbent bows was part of the adventures of Earth Day April 16. The “time travels” program which incorporates the Living History area with the Pioneer Farm is a part-time responsibility of Teri Wermerskirchen.

Anne Dybsetter does the Youth Energy Summit program better known as YES! Maintaining and improving the buildings, grounds and equipment of the PWELC is Paul Hellenschmidt.

“Plus we have a great reservoir of volunteers and part-time paid helpers also,” Pederson said.

compares to 192.8 billion in 2010. The 2011 forecast was lowered from last month primarily reflecting slower growth in milk per cow despite more rapid growth in cow numbers, according to the USDA. Commercial exports were forecast to increase as the global economy improves and imports will be lower as domestic supplies increase. With increasing domestic production, cheese, butter, nonfat dry milk and whey prices were forecast lower. Imports were reduced and exports were raised from last month due to an increase in global dairy demand and a weak U.S. dollar.

All 2011 dairy product prices were raised from last month with Class milk prices increased to reflect the higher product prices. The 2011 Class III milk price average is now projected to range $16.45 to $16.95/cwt. That compares to last month’s estimate of $16.10 to $16.60, and compares to a $14.41 average in 2010.

The 2012 Class III and Class IV forecasts were lower, consistent with lower product price forecasts. The USDA sees a 2012 Class III average of $15.35 to $16.35 and a Class IV average of $16.30 to $17.40/cwt.

■ The Cooperatives Working Together program announced that it accepted seven requests for export assistance this week from Dairy Farmers of America, Darigold and Foremost Farms to sell a total of 3 million pounds of Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese to customers in Asia, North Africa, Central America and the South Pacific. The product will be delivered May through October and raised 2011 CWT cheese exports to 30.2 million pounds to 19 countries.

Why is this important? Because this cheese is headed to foreign customers and not domestic ones or the CME, and therefore helps keep upward pressure on domestic prices.

■ Milk production continued to build toward season peak levels throughout the country the first week of May, according to the USDA, though some southern areas are seeing receipts start to edge lower. Wet and unseasonable cool weather was hampering spring tillage and planting in the Midwest, with water standing in many low spots, not to mention the flooding along the Mississippi River but the CME’s Daily Dairy Report says weather has since warmed significantly and farmers got more corn planted though they are still about a week behind.

Class I sales were typical for the first of a month, according to the USDA, but bottlers are anticipating the advent of summer closures for schools and universities, as are processors, which means more milk going into manufacturing.

■ Looking beyond our shores, the 2010-11 New Zealand milk production season is “closing strongly,” according to the Daily Dairy Report. “Milk output is trending well above year-ago levels when supplies were pinched by severe drought.”

New Zealand exports reached a record high in the first quarter, driven almost exclusively in shipments of whole milk powder, up 38 percent from a year ago.

Skim milk powder, cheese, and butterfat exports were down 9 percent.

■ Finally, a little “wit for the week.” Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday lying in a hospital bed, dying of nothing!

For scissors cut sampling, take a fresh cut sample at random locations in an alfalfa field and have the sample analyzed at a forage testing lab. The recommendation is to take at least three samples at three- to four-day intervals ahead of when the alfalfa might be cut to estimate a trend for how the crop is developing. This means starting about two weeks ahead of expected harvest. Cutting decisions are based on neutral detergent fiber, RFV or RFQ targets.

NDF of alfalfa in the feed manger is generally 3 to 6 percentage units higher than a fresh cut sample because of harvest and storage losses. To have alfalfa feed at 40 NDF or less, harvest might start when fresh cut NDF is around 35. RFV and RFQ numbers might drop 10 to 25 points for these reasons. To have alfalfa feed at 160 RFV or RFQ, harvest might start when fresh cut samples read 180. The margin allowed for harvest and storage loss can depend on the time needed to complete harvest.

Weather is often the driving factor for hay harvest. Growers often need to have equipment ready and look for a break in the weather that gives them a chance to get close to feed quality goals.

A North Dakota State University forage specialist suggests as alfalfa gets to be 22 to 24 inches tall, we ought to be taking a close look at the weather and maturity of the crop for dairy quality hay.

Harvesting correct quality alfalfa and other forage corps lays the foundation for rations that support efficient milk production in dairy cows and other livestock enterprises. Forage growers and agronomy and nutrition advisers can use several tools and strategies for gauging the growth and maturity of the alfalfa crop for harvest decisions. Present and past experiences are good indicators of whether strategies are working well on individual farms or whether some adjustments might be useful.

PEAQ means “predictive equation for alfalfa quality” based on the height and maturity. A “PEAQ” stick was developed at the University of Wisconsin — marked for relative feed value or relative feed quality related to height and

Grain Outlook

Livestock Angles

Grain Angles

Volatility was the word of the week

Consumer resistance meets meat markets

December contract does key reversal

The following market analysis is for the week ending May 13.

CORN — Last week’s watchword was liquidation, this week it was volatility.

The week began on a positive note with grains rebounding higher after last week’s sell-off and in spite of a firming U.S. dollar. The midweek May U.S. Department of Agriculture crop report changed the landscape dramatically with larger carryout estimates than had been anticipated. The reaction to the bearish report was a limit move lower in corn.

The USDA pegged this year’s PHYLLIS NYSTROM corn ending stocks at 730 million, Country Hedging a 55-million bushel increase from St. Paul the April report. This was accomplished by increasing imports a modest 5 million bushels and cutting exports by 50 million bushels. The average trade estimate was 661 million bushels.

For our first glimpse at the 2011-12 crop year balance sheets, acreage was left alone from the March 31 prospective plantings report at 92.2 million acres.

They did not make any changes due to the slow start to planting. However, they did drop the yield forecast to 158.7 bushels per acre when trendline is 161.7 bu./acre. Production is pegged at 13.505 billion bushels, up 1.058 billion from last year.

Other significant changes to the balance sheet versus last year are as follows: feed-residual down 50 million, Food, Seed and Industrial up 55 million (includes 50 million in ethanol), 100 million less in exports. Ending stocks for 2011-12 are forecast at 900 million bushels (versus an 808 million pre-report estimate) for a 6.7 percent stocks-to-use ratio (5.4 percent this year).

See NYSTROM, pg. 23

The livestock markets suffered a strong downward pressure in both the cash and futures over the past few weeks. Weakening demand as well as huge commodity fund liquidation in the futures were the catalysts behind the weakness in both of the markets.

The cattle have finally found an area in price where consumer resistance has slowed the demand for beef. Since the second week in April, the beef cutouts as well as the live market and the futures have been sliding to lower levels. The fact that consumers are beginning to resist the higher prices of beef is coming from a deteriorating disposable income as all commodity prices have advanced substanJOE TEALE tially over the past six months.

Broker The actual and perceived Great Plains Commodity Afton advance in consumer price index is weighing heavy on the consuming public and thus the decline in the boxed beef sales. Exports are also beginning to decline, and the U.S. dollar has appeared to have found a short-term low over the past couple of weeks, which should keep export business questionable.

With the futures market oversold and a discount to the recent cash trade. A rally in the futures market seems plausible, but a sustained rally would be questionable as the fundamentals of the cattle market seem to be negative at this time. Those fundamentals include more cattle on feed than a year ago and with the dry conditions in the southwestern parts of the United States likely causing the early movement of feeder cattle into feedlots should continue to keep supplies of marketable cattle ample.

Producers are urged to use rallies to protect inventories through the summer.

Commodity markets have been showing signs of exhaustion over the last couple weeks.

Crude oil has fallen $10 per barrel from its recent high; gold has lost $87 per ounce and silver $14 per ounce or 34 percent. The old crop corn market which has been the driving force in the grain markets, is even giving up some its luster.

The spread between the July and December corn contracts has been in an inverse (July higher than December) and peaked on March 1 at $1.33 1/2; as of this writing it was at $0.46.

The cool, wet spring weather that has challenged corn planting has moved the focus of the corn TOM NEHER market to the December contract AgStar VP Agribusiness (new crop). On April 20, the & Grain Specialist December contract experienced Rochester what technical analysts call a “key reversal.” This is when a market makes a new contract high and then closes below the previous day’s low. The December contract traded to a new contract high of $6.84 per bushel and then closed at $6.55 1/2; lower than the previous day’s $6.67 low trade.

In markets that are experiencing extreme volatility, “key reversals” are generally retested and sometimes taken out. On April 26 the market traded back up to $6.84 and did not trade higher, but closed at $6.75 3/4. A “key reversal” is a strong technical indicator of a major change in the trend of a market.

Could the party in the commodity markets be over?

While some individual markets haven’t confirmed that the upward trends have ended, the general performance of commodity markets over the past few weeks has indicated that the rallies were stalling out.

Trade estimates up to 1 million acres switching to beans impetus for a rebound.

SOYBEANS — Soybean planting as of May 8 was 7 percent complete versus 17 percent on average. This was slightly higher than expectations. As of May 15, progress is expected to reach 20 percent to 25 percent versus the 31 percent average.

Due to wet planting conditions in the corn, trade estimates for switching to soybeans are running up to 1 million acres.

The soybean market was fairly mild in comparison with corn and wheat activity this week. The soybean crop report was not as bearish as corn and soybeans drifted sideways as they searched for direction.

For the week, July soybeans were up 3 1/2 cents at $13.29 1/2, and November soybeans were up 2 1/4 cents at $13.10 3/4 per bushel.

The May 10 USDA crop report revealed 2010-11 ending stocks at 170 million bushels, up 30 million from the last report. The only change on this report was a cut in exports which carried to the bottom line. The report was viewed bearishly for old crop since the trade was forecasting ending stocks to fall to 137 million bushels.

The first 2011-12 balance sheet indicates a year-on-year drop in ending stocks to 160 million bushels and was viewed as neutral to bullish. Traders were estimating ending stocks of 176 million bushels. The USDA used the March 31 planted acreage number of 76.6 million acres. Plugging in a 43.4 bu./acre yield, production would equal 3.285 billion bushels.

Only small changes were made to individual usage categories year-onyear: crush up 5 million, exports down 10 million and residual down 11 mil-

lion bushels. The 2010-11 national average on-farm price is $11.40, but next year it’s forecasted at $12 to $14/bu.

Reportedly, China reached an agreement with Argentina to buy 500,000 mt of soybean oil.

In other news, China continued their effort to control inflation by raising bank reserve rates another 0.5 percent to 21 percent, effective May 18. Any negative reaction in commodities was short-lived.

OUTLOOK: Soybeans are consolidating amid light demand and bearish old crop report. The jury is still out on new crop due to uncertainty of acreage

switching. I would expect choppy, volatile trade with weather and outside markets exerting their influence whenever possible.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ended May 13: Minneapolis wheat was down 3 1/2 cents, Kansas City 4 1/2 cents lower, while the Chicago contract plummeted 31 3/4 cents. Crude oil increased $2.47 to $99.65, heating oil jumped over 9 1/2 cents higher, gasoline fell 1.6 cents and natural gas was up a penny. The U.S. dollar was up nearly a full point, gold gained $2.20 and the Dow was down 43 points. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange will launch the new weekly option contract in corn, beans and wheat beginning May 23.

THE LAND, MAY 20, 2011

NYSTROM, from pg. 22 The USDA average on-farm price projection for 2011-12 is $5.50 to $6.50 versus this year’s $5.10 to $5.40 range.

Post-report lower price action was extended into the expanded trading limit range on Thursday, but began to recover when talk about Chinese interest in corn resurfaced. The USDA announced a new crop sale of 271,000 metric tons of U.S. corn to unknown on Friday. This may be indicating we have reached a level low enough to again attract buyers.

Corn planting progress as of May 8 was 40 percent complete versus 59 percent on average and above expectations. Progress for May 15 is expected to be 60 percent to 70 percent complete versus 75 percent on average. Forecasts still look cool and moist for the eastern Corn Belt and cool/drier in the west. Time will tell with some growers just waiting for their preventive plant dates to roll around.

OUTLOOK: A whipsaw week, with big gains early and big losses later, kept everyone on their toes. When the dust settled, the July contract was only down 4 1/4 cents for the week at $6.82 and the December contract at $6.27 was down 13 1/4 cents.

Weather and demand will continue to dictate general direction but outside influences, such as the U.S. dollar and energy prices, will hold some power over direction as well.

Support in the July contract is the gap from $6.53 3/4 to $6.59. Basis levels for old crop continue to firm up with grower sales extremely light. The trend is lower after the bearish crop report, but we’re not all in the ground yet and weather is not ideal. Watch for any pick-up in demand to provide the

Expect hog rallies to be short and with cold storage supplies on the increase, it would now appear that rallies in the hog market will be short in duration. The fact that the relationship between the price of beef and pork are wide at this juncture may provide hogs with a little less price pressure as consumers look for value in their meat purchases.

Exports have been the bright spot in hog rally. Therefore it does not seem possible that any sustained rallies will be found over the next few months.

Producers should use any strength over the next several weeks to protect their summer and fall inventories.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

TEALE, from pg. 22 Hog prices have been falling since the week of the Easter holiday. It is possible that during this week the hog market reached the spring high, a seasonal pattern of hog prices over past years. The fact that demand for pork product has been declining is due in part to lower domestic disposable income and has thus hurt that consumer demand. Because of this weakening demand, it is quite likely we have seen the late spring seasonal top early this year.

Supplies of live animals appear to be adequate to meet the current demand

Goldman Sachs told clients to liquidate commodities two to three weeks ago, Morgan Stanley said the same the following week and the giant French bank, Société Général indicated they thought the upward trend may be coming to an end as well.

Who will be big enough to absorb the selling, if prices decline enough to prompt the ‘Big Money’ into a more proactive selling role?”

craftsman.

This is generally considered to be the first recorded speculative bubble.

The “Go-Go Days” of the Russian grain markets in the 1970s crashed on the stroke of the “embargo pen.” The “Dot.Com” bubble of the late 1990s popped when “Y2K” failed to materialize and was slammed with the Sept. 11, 2001, bombing of the World Trade Center.

The popping of our recent housing bubble has buried our general economy in to the “Great Recession” and likely will take several more years to recover. We in grain production have been involved in a six to seven-year run of profitability. This is nearly twice as long as the normal three-year cycle.

It appears that the bubble has stretched; when it will pop no one knows. Let us remember that the best “Black Swan” insurance is to “self insure” with proactive management, building working capital reserves and making prudent capital investments.

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Assistant Editor Tom Royer

Sacred earth he small pockets of snow T along the trails will have been long gone by mid-May, but the mysterious mounds of earth in the northeast Iowa bluffs above the Mississippi River remain, as they have for thousands of years.

“We ask that as you walk over this land to please remember this is sacred ground to those of the mound building culture.”

The oldest and most numerous are round domes, between 10 and 20 feet in diameter and anywhere from 2 to 8 feet high. The ancient people of this region began burying their dead in mounds such as these about 2,500 years ago. A single mound might hide beneath it multiple burial spots, each of several bodies — along with copper ornaments under layers of clamshells, limestone pebbles and earth.

“The descendants of this culture are not a lost people but rather living, thriving American Indian cultures that today reside in what is now called the Midwest.”

Over hundreds of years, this American Indian culture began creating burial sites as 100-foot-long linear mounds, or connected series of linear and round shapes nearly 500 feet long. Around 1,400 years ago effigy mounds — mostly in the form of great bears and birds — started to appear. Six hundred years later, as these hunter-gatherers transitioned to permanent villages and agriculture, the moundbuilding ceased.

“These native descendants continue to honor their ancestors buried here in religious ceremonies on these sacred sites.”

Effigy Mounds National Monument, 3 miles north of Marquette, Iowa These ceremonial mounds provide their creators’ descendants with a connection to the spirit world, and to the land upon which their ancestors once lived freely.

For the rest of us, they offer the opportunity to walk trails along majestic river bluffs, experience beautiful views of the Mississippi River valley, and reflect upon the mystery of

a culture that is somehow both long gone and still with us to this day ... if only we slow down long enough to see it.

“Please enjoy and respect your time among the ‘old ones’ as their spirits will watch over you while you are here.”

For more information on Effigy Mounds National Monument, call (563) 873-3491 or log on to www.nps.gov/efmo.
