With an E. coli outbreak in Germany having sickened more than 2,500, afflicted 650 or so with acute kidney failure and, as of June 8, killed 25, now might be a good time for the blinkered show horses on the House appropriation committee to reconsider their deep cuts to the nation’s food safety budget.

trol and Prevention report released June 7, the number of rare E. coli-caused illnesses in the United States topped those caused by the more common E. coli 0157:H7 for the first time in 2010. These E. coli, labeled non-0157s, are related to the virulent strain fingered in the deadly, German E. coli outbreak.

Sure, budget-busting will make for good theater in upcoming Fourth of July speeches back home, but it’s dumb public policy to lower the nation’s food safety net in search of a few political applause lines.

Why more now? Two reasons, according to the CDC.

FARM & FOOD FILE

By Alan Guebert

The appropriation cuts hammer the Food and Drug Administration. Under the committee plan, FDA’s fiscal year 2012 food safety budget is axed from $955 million to $750 million, a 21 percent hit in the face and a 10 percent cut to 2011’s $837 million budget.

First, the government began looking for ’em.

That’s a good thing because finding ’em means we’re more able to prevent food panics like the one now sweeping Europe where, in addition to death and critical illness, farmers face an estimated $610 million-a-week drop in fruit and vegetable sales.

OPINION

House appropriators don’t stop there; the FDA’s overall FY 2012 discretionary funding is cut $284 million, or 11.5 percent.

Second, “Pathogens evolve,” Dr. Elizabeth Hagen, USDA’s undersecretary for food safety, told the New York Times June 7. As such, she added, “I don’t think we can afford to stand still while the pathogens are evolving around us.”

The GOP-led committee then turns to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and InspecBut the USDA and the FDA won’t be standing still tion Service. The May 31 committee-passed bill saws if House appropriators have their way. Both agencies $39 million from FY 2012 FSIS funding, dropping it will be marching safety efforts backwards. to $972 million, or $34 million less than this year.

And when — not if — the next E. coli or salmonella Next on the butcher block is the U.S. Department or other pathogen-fueled food scare occurs, the cuts of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant and Health will seem foolish, even stupid, in comparison to the Inspection Service. The 2012 APHIS budget is sliced public, personal and business cost of sickness, death $73.6 million, or 8.5 percent. and lost markets.

The cuts to food safety budgets at both regulators It makes even less sense to cut food safety budgets — the USDA’s jurisdiction covers red meat, poultry just six months after Congress approved the most and eggs; FDA’s almost all other foods — suggests sweeping food safety update since 1938, the Food the nation’s food safety problems are lessening.

Safety Modernization Act, to tackle new, threatening Almost every measure, however, proves the opposite pathogens in the global food chain. true.

Wait a minute. Is that what this is about: House In fact, a random check of annual food recalls, Republicans overwhelmingly voted against the safety alerts and “market withdrawals” by the FDA FSMA last December and now, back in the majority, and the USDA shows both agencies busier now than look to suffocate it by not funding it? This is politics — pick a year — before. For example, the FDA’s food- over public safety — elections and not E coli? related actions rose from 241 in 2004 to 282 in 2010.

That’s really sick.

Likewise, the USDA’s food recalls totaled 50 in 2004 and 58 in 2010.

Numbers don’t lie on importance of Memorial Day

OPINION

the number served range from 600,000 to 1,500,000.

The final report of the Provost Marshal General, 1863-65, indicated 133,821 Confederate battle deaths with an estimated 26,000 to 31,000 Confederate personnel died in Union prisons. Thus the combined death count for the Civil War was an incredible 498,332.

One should also include the assignation of President Abe Lincoln as a “victim” of this effort to preserve the unity of America.

Lincoln’s epic Gettysburg Address has only four paragraphs. But those few words of this great president continue to resonate in the minds of Americans, both veterans and non-veterans. His concluding comments in essence clearly sum up Memorial Day. Lincoln said: “It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the

• Where there’s a will, I want to be in it.

it could be argued that “The Wind Knot” can be hard to follow. One could say that it’s got an awful lot of characters to keep track of. But, contentions aside and overall, it’s hard to argue with a hero like the Dog, even though — surprisingly — Dog doesn’t have much to do in this book.

Galligan’s main hero is on the periphery this time, surrounded by eccentrics and scofflaws, still smarting from old pain. Those story keys lend a certain humanity to the unlikely, grizzled fisherman-cumdetective: Dog is flawed, which makes it easy to love him and easy to love this novel.

For mystery fans who don’t mind a little literaryness in their novels, “The Wind Knot” is a good catch. Reel in this book, and you won’t be able to leave it alone.

■ Look for the reviewed book at a bookstore or a library near you. You may also find the book at online book retailers.

Avoid moving pigs during hottest times of day reducing the heat load.

However, if other nutrient levels are not also increased accordingly, animal performance will still suffer due to deficiencies in the levels of some nutrients.

Modify procedures during load-out and transportation of pigs Perhaps the most stressful time for pigs in periods of heat is during transportation.

Fast pigs that are going to market 12 to 18 hours prior (remove feed, but not water) — this will decrease gut fill in the pigs during loading and transport, minimizing the heat of digestion while also reducing transport sickness.

Provide extra space in transportation trailers by loading fewer pigs — air movement is the main method of cooling pigs during transportation, so allowing extra space for air movement around pigs is key along with keeping transportation vehicles/trailers in constant motion along with opening up all vents and slats.

PROFESSOR, from pg. 10 related equipment are operating correctly and are set for summer usage.

The use of sprinklers along with fans can reduce the effective temperature in barns as long as the sprinklers are set correctly — sprinklers that produce a fine mist will increase humidity levels in the barn, reducing the effectiveness of minimizing heat transfer via evaporation and respiration, and therefore should be avoided. Similarly, cool cells will be much more effective at lower humidity levels, and therefore ventilation systems should be adjusted to ensure excess moisture is removed from buildings.

Adjust the feeding program Since pigs will reduce their voluntary feed intake during periods of high temperatures, increase the nutritional density of the diet for growing pigs and lactating sows. Increasing the caloric density by including increased fat levels in the diet also reduces the amount of heat liberated by the pig when digesting the feed, thus additionally

Grain Outlook Something for everybody

Livestock Angles Grain Angles Supply, demand Planting struggles; bit out of sorts price volatility

The following market analysis is for the week ending June 10.

CORN — Corn was the headliner this week as it had something for everyone. Improving weather and crop prospects in the United States and Europe, as well as a stronger U.S. dollar and profit-taking, resulted in heavy selling to start the week. Russia also announced that they may have more grain to export than previously expected, maybe an additional 236 million bushels.

The “official” start to the fund roll began on Tuesday (fifth business day of the month proceeding delivery). This usually involves PHYLLIS NYSTROM Country Hedging selling long nearby positions and St. Paul buying deferred months. The result was lower markets and a narrowing of the inverse between new crop and old crop months.

The fund rolling however wasn’t able to keep the market down when the U.S. dollar lost momentum and the pipeline of nearby corn slowed to a trickle.

Basis levels around the Midwest, particularly in the East, jumped higher to attract bushels. It was interesting that there was some talk that an eastern ethanol plant was exploring using soft red winter wheat instead of corn to produce ethanol due to price.

Demand popped back on the radar on the heels of record heat across the Midwest to prompt a return of buyers into the market the day before the U.S. Department of Agriculture report. Ethanol production last week was at its highest level since January and the second highest in history. We also haven’t seen any cancellations of corn into the southeastern U.S. markets in favor of feed wheat, keeping the competition for corn hot. Watch corn exports since

As we move into June, the livestock markets are trying to recover from a fairly sharp sell-off.

Supply and demand seem to be a bit out of sorts causing the recent weakness: plenty of supply and a waning demand picture for both cattle and hogs.

Cattle have had a rather severe drop in price over the past 30 days, all precipitated by the increase in market-ready cattle and softening demand for beef.

The number of cattle on feed is well above year-ago levels giving the packer plenty of inventory to select from particularly in the southern feeding areas.

JOE TEALE Export business has slipped Broker during this period and with the inclement weather here in the Great Plains Commodity Afton states, grilling season is off to a slow start hurting domestic demand. As we move through June and the weather becomes more cooperative, expect the seasonal demand for beef to increase as the cookout season gets into full swing. This should bring about a stabilization of cattle prices and a recovery for a short period of time.

The fact that our economic situation is still weak does not bode well for a long-lasting upward move in prices. Therefore, a brief recovery is in order followed more than likely with a stagnation of prices and the possibility of further weakness later this summer.

Producers are urged to keep abreast of market conditions and use rallies to protect summer and fall inventories.

Likewise, the hog market has seen prices tumble over the past 30 days, but not quite as severe as the cattle. Supplies of market-ready hogs remains adequate to meet current demand and packers have

As we struggle to get the last, straggling acres planted on the flood-challenged fields, the markets roll in volatility.

If there ever was a year when the growing conditions will be critical, it is this year. Many expect that corn producers will take prevented planting crop insurance on acres that were not planted by May 31, because to profit opportunities are so great. Yet, much of this will be determined by the weather that these acres receive.

The long-range forecast predicts U.S. Midwest weather conditions to be wet and cool during the summer.

June weather is seen as somewhat TOM NEHER similar to what we experienced in AgStar VP Agribusiness & Grain Specialist May. July and August are seen to be Rochester a transition from a wet and cool bias to more-normal weather.

The abundance of subsoil moisture and the gradual drying will prevent a true drought from developing in the Corn Belt. Yet, significant dryness will remain in the southern Plains and the interior southeastern states. The threat of LaNina returning this winter could propel the southern drought into the Corn Belt for the 2012 growing season.

As mentioned above, much of this year’s crop potential will be determined by the weather that the lateplanted acres receive. If the late-planted corn can avoid an early frost, with cool, wet growing conditions; large yields could develop.

In this event we will likely be struggling to dry down the crop for suitable storage. We would get the chance to try out all of the new grain drying setups that we installed last year and didn’t need to stress test. We may want to start looking at securing drying

Well-supported corn limiting soybean downside Basis levels continue to scream higher and old crop prices rallied in spite of the increased forecast for this year’s ending stocks. New crop should have limited downside until we see the June 30 planted acreage report and are closer to the July weather forecasts. Be prepared for when the gets comfortable with balance sheets and decides to derisk. Until then, we wait for the June 30 reports. Will acreage on the June 30 report be higher or lower than on this week’s report? This week, July corn was up 33 cents at $7.87 and the December contract was 26 1⁄4 cents higher at $7.12 1⁄2. Although there are always setbacks in bull markets, the trend is higher.

SOYBEANS — When July soybeans failed to punch through $14.00 early in the week, prices plunged on the same news that influenced corn — improving weather, weak outside markets, and profit taking. Post-report trading erased much of the early losses, but not all, as beans were pulled back by a strong corn market and fund buyers.

The June USDA crop production report was modestly bearish to soybeans with ending stocks for both old and new crop larger than expected. On the 201011 balance sheet, exports were cut 10 million bushels for a resulting increase in ending stocks from 170 million to 180 million bushels, but near expectations.

The 2011-12 balance sheet lowered exports by 20 million bushels to push ending stocks from 160 to 190 million bushels. This was much larger than the prereport estimate of 170 million bushels. There were no changes to the 76.6 million planted acres and 43.4

bu./acre forecasts for the 2011/2012 crop.

South American supplies are readily available to buyers and production there may reach record levels.

China’s crush margins are failing. Soybean demand is being supported by reduced crushing caused by some plant closing/reduced production due to flooding along the Missouri River. U.S. soybean planting as of June 5 was 68 percent complete versus the 5year average of 84 percent complete. Emergence was 44 percent (versus 61 percent average), so we may see our first condition report on June 12.

OUTLOOK: Any soybean upside will be hindered by improving planting/development weather, limited demand, ample U.S. and world supplies, and a balance sheet with a bearish bias. Downside will be limited until the June 30 planted acreage report when the market can better assess how many acres were switched to beans and how many were flooded out in the Delta and along the Missouri River. A well-supported corn market may also limit the downside in soybeans for the time being. July soybeans were down 27 1⁄4 cents this week at $13.87 1⁄4 and the November contract was off 15 1⁄4 cents at $13.81 3⁄4 per bushel. Soybeans will probably be dragged higher by corn; keep an eye on weather and demand.

NYSTROM, from pg. 12 Australian feed wheat is estimated to be $60-$90 per ton cheaper into Asian markets than U.S. corn. Mexico entered the buying arena this week with purchases for both the 2011-12 and 2012-13 crop years, 549 thousand metric tons and 274 tmt respectively.

The June USDA report left the 2010-11 balance sheet totally unchanged. Ending stocks were steady at 730 million bushels when expectations were for a drop to 706 million bushels. The 2011-12 balance sheet changes were: Acreage cut from 92.2 to 90.7 million acres, yield unchanged at 158.7 bushels per acre, production down 305 million to 13.2 billion, feed usage down 100, ending stocks 695 million vs. 900 last month and 771 estimated. The ending stocks-to-use ratio is a tight 5.2 percent vs. 6.7 percent estimated last month and this year’s 5.4 percent. Tight world supplies added to the bullish sentiment that has prevailed in the markets when ending stocks were cut by 17.25 mmt to 111.89 mmt for new crop. This would be the smallest world ending stocks number since 2006-07’s 110 mmt figure.

The June USDA crop production report propelled all corn contracts to new contract highs the day of the report, although the market was slightly disappointed when they couldn’t reach the 30-cent daily limit. July corn this week hit $7.99 3⁄4, the highest level ever for a spot month.

OUTLOOK: In spite of a larger-than-expected carryout this year, the cash market is telling us that there is not enough corn moving into the pipeline.

For Smaller Operations

Expect weakness in search for low TEALE, from pg. 12 been at times reluctant to be aggressive in bidding higher for inventory. The overall supply of hogs appears to remain fairly steady and without renewed demand for pork, rapid or long-term rallies do not appear to be in the future.

Export business has softened in recent weeks adding to the weakness in hog prices during the period.

Because of the competitive situation between meats,

look for pork to command more interest by the consumer as prices are well discounted to other meats.

In the short term, further weakness could be expected as the market searches for a summer low.

This will likely be followed by a short-term rally into the later summer months. With domestic discretionary spending continuing to shrink, another round of weaker prices will likely come again into the fall and producers are suggested to use this strength to lock-in inventories through the end of the year.

Better become business student In the competitive, volatile environment that we find ourselves in today, the use of the best accounting and record keeping practices is a Grain Angle that will separate the winners from the losers. I know that this statement sounds harsh, but it is what will give one the edge when it comes to growing and maintaining the financial health of your business.

Those with the best records and reports will have the edge when it comes to acquiring new land to farm.

This edge will also be found when it comes to securing financial support from lenders, investors or partners.

Given all of the volatility and uncertainty that we experience in our lives and businesses today, we must remember that we cannot control everything.

We in farm country know this all too well. Yet we do have control over many of our managerial practices and this will be an angle that can lead to success.

Cash cheese jumps to three-year high at the Merc This column was written for the marketing week ending June 10.

Cash cheese prices at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange saw a fourth week of gain, jumping almost 50 cents in the period, and reached levels not seen since June 2008. The 40MIELKE MARKET pound blocks closed the second WEEKLY Friday of June Dairy Month at $2.11 per pound, up 6 cents on

By Lee Mielke the week, and 74 cents above a year ago. The 500-pound barrels closed at $2.0675, up 10.75 cents on the week, and 73.75 cents above a year ago. Seven cars of block and none of barrel traded hands on the week. The National Agricultural Statistics Service-surveyed U.S. average block price hit $1.7083, up 5.1 cents from the previous week while the barrels averaged $1.76, up 7.2 cents.

The run-up in cheese prices was triggered in part by a problem with a Dalhart, Texas, cheese maker, Hilmar Cheese. The company put a hold on about 15 million pounds of product which was produced from April 19 to May 4 because of “plastic contamination.”

Once the dust settles, prices will likely ease back.

Bill Van Dam, of the Alliance of Western Milk Producers, reported in his weekly newsletter that rumor had it that range of dates was extended and that as much as 30 million pounds might be involved, and a Hilmar letter informing its customers was dated May 28, so Van Dam said “It’s likely the market knew something was amiss at the beginning of the week,” and “because this is a very significant volume to suddenly disappear from the fresh cheese market, buyers quite understandably started bidding for cheese,” though only one sale of block took place.

Repeated calls to Hilmar resulted in the following statement: “Hilmar Cheese Company, Incorporated identified and corrected a production issue affecting specific 40-pound block cheese manufactured in our Dalhart, Texas, facility. Dalhart production of 40pound blocks from May 18th forward is clear.”

“We are working through the situation cooperatively with our customers. All other production in Dalhart and all production in our Hilmar, Calif., facility were not affected. Early reports significantly exaggerated the volume involved. We have and always will act with an overabundance of caution with regard to the integrity of the products we provide to our customers.”

Dairy media was frustrated in trying to obtain information that could have been reported days ago, rumors quenched, and perhaps averted an unnecessary run up in the market.

Thankfully, this story did not reach the main-

USDA raises 2011 milk production estimate again cast. The May whey value was almost 50 cents, he said, up from the typical 25 to 35 cents and historically contributes 5 percent or less to the Class III price, he said.

The CME’s Daily Dairy Report says “International whey prices have firmed in the last two months, providing support to U.S. markets” and that “spot and futures prices have risen despite growing production and inventories.”

In the first four months of the year, U.S. dry whey output was up 12.3 percent from two years ago, according to the DDR, and dry whey stocks on April 30 were 56.3 million lbs., up 35 percent in five months, the highest figure for that date since 1999, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data.

Looking “back to the futures;” the Class III contract’s average for the last half of 2011 was $17.64 per hundredweight on May 6, $17.49 on May 13, $18.22 on May 20, $18.39 on May 27, and $18.72 on June 3.

increase of milk per cow. As a result, the milk production forecast for 2012 is reduced 200 million pounds from last month, to 198.5 billion.

Commercial exports were forecast higher for 2011 largely due to stronger expected cheese exports. But, imports of cheese and milk proteins have been stronger than expected so the import forecasts for 2011 and 2012 were raised.

Dairy product price forecasts were raised from last month. “Butter supplies are tight and demand for cheese, nonfat dry milk, and whey are expected to support product prices,” according to USDA.

In the late-1990s, we saw “asset bubbles” in the technology industry and the stock market, which was repeated in recent years in the U.S. housing market, both of which led to significant economic recessions in the United States. However, even the most pessimistic analysts agree that any adjustment in farmland values is not likely to have the national impact that the “housing market bubble” of the past

few years has had on the economy. The total U.S. value of housing assets is about $16 trillion, compared to about a total $2 trillion in farmland assets.

The economic impact of a significant drop in farmland values would likely be more regionalized in areas of the country with a strong agricultural component.

Some of the FDIC analysts have drawn comparisons to the rapid rise in land values in the 1970s, followed by the farm financial collapse in the 1980s. The early 1970s were domiSee PROGRAMS, pg. 18

Most in agriculture ‘bullish’ about commodity prices PROGRAMS, from pg. 17 nated by high inflation rates, relatively low interest rates and a sharp decline in the value of the dollar compared to other currencies, which lead to a rapid increase in agricultural exports. Crop prices received by farmers tripled from 1970 to 1975, and average net farm incomes in the 1970s were nearly double the average net farm incomes of the 1960s.

Average farmland values in the United States increased by 350 percent from 1970 to 1982, while at the same time, farmers added bigger machinery and new technologies, allowing them to farm more acres in a more efficient manner, in the same amount of time.

Much of the increase in land values, as well as the addition of capital assets, on U.S. farms during that period was through rapidly increasing farm debt.

Total farm debt in the United States increased from $52 billion in 1970 to over $207 billion in 1983.

Almost unlimited credit was available to farmers in the late-1970s and early 1980s from a variety of ag lenders. Most lenders based farm real estate finance decisions on the collateral value of the farmland, which was increasing at a phenomenal rate each year, and paid little attention to debt repayment capacity or cash flow ability. By the end of the 1970s, the Federal Reserve Bank switched its monetary policies to control inflation, and began raising interest rates. By 1981, the prime interest rate reached an almost unthinkable rate of 21.5 percent, resulting in high interest rates for farmers who had built up a significant amount of term debt during the late-1970s and early 1980s.

The impact was almost immediate on highly leveraged farmers, and average values of farmland dropped by 50 percent in the mid-1980s from the peak land values in 1981. This was the beginning of the “1980s farm crisis” which resulted in thousands of farm foreclosures across the Midwest, and lead to the failure of 3,000 banks during the 1980s, mostly in rural areas.

Currently, most people associated with agriculture are “bullish” about commodity prices, land values and the overall agriculture economy, which is similar to the late-1970s. Usually, when everyone is thinking one direction is when things change, and sometimes those changes can occur quite rapidly. Just look what happen to the home real estate market across the United States in the last three years. Even with the strong agriculture economy that currently exists, one wonders how many farmers are adequately prepared for a sudden reduction in grain exports, resulting in a rapid drop in grain prices, along with lower farm profits and potentially higher interest rates. Here are some “yellow caution flags” to think about with today’s agriculture economy.

• The cost of production for corn and soybeans for seed, fertilizer, chemicals and fuel is expected to increase 10 to 15 percent for 2011, and is nearly dou-

Many key differences between 1980s and now are a lot of differences in the financial management of farmers now, compared to the 1970s and 1980s. Many farmers are in a much sounder financial position today than they were in the early 1980s, and most ag lenders have taken a much more strategic approach on their lending principles, as compared to a few decades ago.

Following are some key reasons why farm businesses and ag lenders might be in a stronger position today on financing agricultural real estate than they were in the 1980s.

• There is a good chance that ag commodity prices will face volatility over the next few years, and will incur some periods of lower prices; however, prices are not likely to stay extremely low over several years, given the strong world demand for grain that exists.

• The average farm debt-to-asset ratio in the United States has declined considerably in recent years, and is now only 10 percent, which is well below average farm debt levels in the 1980s.

• Much of the farmland today is being purchased by well-established farmers, who are combining this with other owned and rented land, limiting the overall cash flow impact.

• Many farmers are paying 50 percent or more down on the land parcels that they purchase, and thus are only financing 50 percent or less of the purchase price, as compared to financing 75 to 80 percent in the 1980s.

• Most ag lenders are limiting how much they will borrow on farmland purchases, both in terms of percent of purchase cost, as well as total dollars per acre, which provides some room for a downward adjustment in land values.

• Most ag lenders are looking at debt repayment capacity and cash flow ability of farm businesses

before they finalize loans for farmland purchases, and are factoring in potential downturns in land values and commodity prices.

Bottom line Prospects look good for 2011 and 2012 from a farm profitability standpoint, especially in the crop sector, as well as for the overall ag economy in the United States, and interest rates will likely remain low for both farm operating loans and longer-term loans. This scenario is likely to result in continued strong demand and prices for Midwest farmland during the next couple of years.

However, producers, ag lenders and others connected to the agriculture industry need to heed the warnings issued by the FDIC and the Federal Reserve Bank, and be wary of the “yellow caution flags” that things could be changing in regards to farm profitability and loan repayment ability, thus affecting farmland purchase decisions.

Overall, farm businesses and ag lenders may be better positioned today than in the early 1980s to withstand a downturn in the agriculture economy, but there are still many farmers who could be quite vulnerable to sudden changes in farm profitability.

Farmers need to work with their farm management advisers and ag lenders to develop sound risk management and financial management strategies to protect the financial stability of their farm businesses when considering land purchases.

PROGRAMS, from pg. 18 ble the cost of production five to six years ago.

• Land rental rates are also starting to rise quite dramatically in many areas, with increases of 30 to 50 percent in the past two to three years in some locations.

• The increased cost of production, combined with the higher land rents in most areas, means that for most producers the break-even price for corn production is now near $4 per bushel, and $9.50/bu. for soybeans. These figures could rise even higher in 2011 in areas with reduced yields due to late planting and poor growing conditions. Something to keep in mind if the grain prices start to drop rapidly.

• What will happen to grain prices if export markets start to soften in the next couple of years, or if there is reduced grain demand for livestock production or renewable fuel production, due to high grain prices or limited grain supplies?

• What would be the impact on grain prices, land values, the farm economy, etc., of some worldwide event, such as a terrorist attack, disease outbreak, etc., in the next 12 to 24 months?

• If land is purchased at today’s prices, will that land purchase still be economically viable at $3.50/bu. corn prices and $8.50/bu. soybean prices?

• Are farm businesses adequately prepared from a risk management standpoint to withstand a major downturn in the agriculture economy in the next one to two years?

• Are farmers paying adequate attention to overall farm debt levels and the repayment capacity for term loans that have been added in recent years for purchases of land and other capital assets?

Does the current strong commodity prices and excellent average net farm incomes in recent years, along with the rapid increase in farmland values, automatically mean that we are headed for a repeat of the “1980s farm crisis”? Not necessarily, as there

Cover story: Dairymen focus on function, over form

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Conformation is OK but milk in the tank pays the bills.

That, in a nutshell, is the business philosophy of Brad Nosbush, 47, as he described the economics of Nosbush Dairy, a 650-cow dairy operation in Fairfax, Minn.

“We have always chosen very heavy on production and economic traits, less so on conformation traits,” Nosbush said of his family operation, run with his brothers David and Leroy.

“Our emphasis is on profitability so economic traits are the single most important criteria in our entire breeding and selection process.”

They use a variety of genetic lines to avoid inbreeding, however the emphasis is for elite sires expressing strong economic traits. The results are impressive.

• Their herd right now has the No. 8 genomic-tested cow in the world.

• Those 650 cows average slightly over 29,000 pounds of milk per cow.

• Those 650 cows are also averaging 1,184 pounds of fat and 919 pounds of protein.

• They are now selling short-bred heifers overseas into Turkey.

• Fertilized embryos may soon become another marketing opportunity.

Owning the No. 8 ranked genomictested cow in the world puts special emphasis on embryo transfer possibilities. “Getting more offspring out of this animal is the goal,” Nosbush said.

“Also, I’m not so big on feet and He said the U.S. Department of legs because the rest of the indusAgriculture, in cooperation try puts so much effort on that with major bull studs, has category.

Effort on preventive care for cattle, not cures Our 3X schedule is important. But other things like sand bedding and having a cross-ventilated barn and parlor are big factors. Also grouping strategies (by size) permits different feeding levels.

“Special attention that first month after calving is another reason. If she stays healthy, she’ll do well. But let a few things slip through the cracks right after calving and it’s a battle that entire lactation. We put a lot of effort keeping them healthy rather than curing them after they are sick,” Nosbush said.

Their herd is divided into four groups, with a specific ration mixed for each group. Because of improvements in the nutrition modeling programs dairy producers have been able to ratchet down crude protein by balancing carbohydrate and protein fractions. “Our crude protein levels are 1 to 2 percent lower than they were 10 years ago and we’re feeding only twothirds as much phosphorous. That means lower phosphorous levels in the

manure which means lower phosphorous levels in our fields which is simply better for the environment.”

Manure management Manure storage is in clay-lined earthen basins and field applied each fall plus some spring pumping to alleviate uncertainty about storage capacity. Spring applications are done with a drag hose to nearby fields for direct injection; fall application to more distant fields is transported via manure

tankers or semi transports.

There is a ready market to neighboring farmers for some of their manure but currently their own fields of corn and alfalfa consume virtually every gallon produced. “We realize that manure is valuable. We’ve had requests for manure. We are slowly increasing our land base to match up with our manure capacity.”

THE LAND, JUNE 17, 2011

NOSBUSH, from pg. 22 bypassing potential opportunities?

Nosbush said they are lightly hedged currently but do have some price protection through their livestock gross margin insurance. “We’re contemplating some more hedging,” he said. “It’s always difficult locking in a price because you might be wrong.”

But the flip side is locking in enough profit to keep you in the game. He admits to “betting wrong” in 2008, but in 2009, “we were right by a whole lot.

While other people couldn’t sleep we got to keep enjoying being dairy producers.”

Livestock gross margin insurance is a USDA offering somewhat comparable to crop insurance. In essence you are protecting a dollar amount of your milk price which keeps the bottom from falling out should milk prices fall.

Feed issues Being a 29,000-pound herd means lots of feed consumption. “Our rations are very basic with corn silage and haylage.

Employees dependable, paid for performance NOSBUSH, from pg. 23 They are cognizant of the importance of good records, especially when it comes to manure management. Their 16-page manure management document details application dates for every field, even including application rates.

Dried distillers grains (from the ethanol industry) have been in their ration for several years, plus beet pulp in season. “But right now DDGs are out of the ration because of price. I think that’s a short-term phenomenon. But today it’s a whole new world when it comes to feeding. We watch our rations closely. That’s the No. 1 expense of making milk. We used to feed a cow for $2.30 a day, but now it’s about $5 a day. Needless to say, we’re always looking at rations,” Nosbush said.

Expansion and/or upgrades with new equipment, new technologies have been yearly experiences dating back to 1994, the year of their first expansion which was their first free-stall barn. Evolution seems inevitable in the dairy business these days.

“We’re probably not done building; we’re just done at this site.”

Good people Labor is frequently an issue in the dairy business but start with good people, compensate fairly including special benefits and labor issues are minimal.

“Some of our employees have been with us 15 years,” Nosbush said. “They’re dependable. We pay them very well for that performance. As an example, the last two months we have been under 100 somatic cell count. That generates a good premium and is a tremendous indicator of cow health, especially udder health. All our employees to a tremendous job.”

Besides more production, that 3X schedule also gives milkers more flexibility. For example, two milkers do the morning milk six days a week (six, sixhour shifts per week); the other milkers doing both the noon and night-time milking work four, 11-hour shifts each week. Milking is in a 32-cow parlor, with 16 cows each side.

“Our milkers establish a routine and they make it look effortless,” he said. “I’ve had to step in a time or two to help out and they just put me to shame with their speed and efficiencies. I used to think I was a

pretty fast milker, but I can’t keep up with the guys and gals we’ve got on the milk lines today. They get so proficient at this task. And if you are calm and quiet, so too are the cows calm and quiet, and then it’s a much easier job.

“Good cow care and proper cow handling is a big part of success in dairy farming. ... We typically run higher components and since we’re paid on pounds of fat and pounds of protein, we do put lots of emphasis on cow care and nutrition.”

The benefits of super attention are obvious. For 13 consecutive years, Nosbush Dairy has won the Quality Achievement Award from 1st District at Litchfield, Minn., receiver of the approximately 6,000 gallons of milk produced each day by this dairy operation. The herd averages 85 to low-90 pounds of milk per cow per day. “We don’t have extended lactations followed with 150 dry days. Generally we’re milking 90 percent of our cows each day.”

■ Good public relations are also vital in today’s agriculture. On July 22, the Nosbush Dairy will be hosting the annual Farm-City Breakfast sponsored by the Renville County Farm Bureau.

Touched by an angel you wish to be touched by an angel, Ifdrive on Minnesota State Highway 91.

I was doing that one day, and just north of Chandler, Minn., my foot suddenly left the accelerator and found the brake. My eyes had been caught by a beautiful angel, kneeling on a pedestal, holding an infant in its hands.

That has been the experience of many Primi Manteiga travelers according to Marcia Carrera.

The statue is the work of her mother, renowned Venezuelan artist Primi Manteiga.

Carrera and her family had lived in Chandler about six years when her mother joined them in December 2008. Manteiga does not speak English, and her daughter relayed the story.

In Venezuela, Manteiga is well-known for her sculptures, paintings, stained glass windows and as a teacher of art. She has designed several series of Venezuelan postage stamps. Her last set was historical paintings.

Successful as she was, the political situation made life difficult. When the government not only wanted to use the paintings for stamps, but actually take possession of the paintings, Manteiga decided to leave.

Born in Spain, she moved to Venezuela when she was 17. Leaving Venezuela, she packed up all of her paintings and statuary in large crates, shipped them to the United States, and moved to Minnesota to join her daughter’s family. (Her husband remains in Venezuela looking after his restaurant business.)

Manteiga likes angels. They are part of her current project, making a tabernacle for a Catholic church in Worthington. She intended “Los Arcangeles” to be a small statue in front of the Chandler house, but it grew to larger than life-size. When the family moved to an acreage outside of town for more space, it was placed near the highway so travelers could see it.

Manteiga continues her artistic endeavors in a studio at her new home. A book she illustrated on the 47 Indian tribes that live in Venezuela has been published, and hopefully will be translated into English. But “Los Arcangeles” needs no translation.

It speaks directly to the heart.

The statue is along State Highway 91, about two-and-a-half miles south of the junction with State Highway 30, a little north of Chandler.
