A tough job but someone’s gotta do it

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 9, 2011

Pardon my English, but most smalltown county fairs ain’t what they used to be, simply because of declining populations in many rural areas. That typically means fewer 4-H clubs and fewer 4-H participants in the many competitive categories that add that flavor to a county fair.

However the Renville County Pork Producers certainly added flavor to my county’s fair this year.

various cooks went all out to make us aware of the delicious taste of freshly grilled pork. I wouldn’t mind doing this again.” Said Laura Fox, a college student and daughter of Renville County Commissioner Bob Fox, “It was a great event. I was very thrilled to have the opportunity to be a judge. I think each competitor did a nice job of preparing their racks.” And judge and pork-producer Mary Peichel said, “Being involved in the pork industry, I felt it my civic duty to come here and judge this event. I had a great time. And yes, pork is absolutely delicious!”

A day does not pass without some Big Ag chieftain or Capitol Hill yakker parting their perpetually pursed lips to unleash total nonsense on you, me and the body politic.

To wit the following quote, an answer given by a member of the U.S. Senate to an Aug. 25 question on who will domiFARM & FOOD FILE nate 2012 farm bill discussions, Congress’s aggies or its

By Alan Guebert appropriators: “I think they will welcome our suggestions and if we put together a farm bill that meets the number that’s all that’s required of us, except that we are going to point out, we’re going to do a great job, I don’t want to say reform, I just say that we’re going to do a great job to do everything to streamline, to combine purpose and combine programs when you have 10 or 12 programs that do the same thing.”

That this is what passes for informed commentary today is more important than the identity of the mumble-mouth commenter. It also explains why you can stop wondering how we got into today’s swamp and start wondering why you still think this group of full-time lip flappers and part-time thinkers is gonna’ find a way out.

They won’t.

And they won’t because, like zombies, they are committed to the dead-end process that got us here: politics first, solutions second.

Worse, these masters of disaster seem bulletproof to shame and embarrassment. An Aug. 16 Gallup Poll showed only 13 percent of all Americans approved of Congress. As if to highlight the record of failure, a staggering 56 percent of all House members did not hold one town hall meeting the entire recess month of August, according to NoLabel.org.

What’s remarkable about these supporting facts is that “Somehow 13 percent of Americans still approve of Congress,” commented the Los Angeles Times, and more than 190 House members (59 percent of all Democrats, 50 percent of all Repubs) were so busy last month that they could not spare one day to meet their bosses, the public.

We know what some were doing because GOP leader Eric Cantor of Virginia alerted the media Aug. 28 to his party’s top legislative priority when Congress returns from its month of sloth and junkets — a partisan attack on the “costly bureaucratic handcuffs that Washington has imposed upon business people who want to create jobs.”

The biggest problem facing America today is “bureaucratic handcuffs?” (See

Letter: Nothing is free — Federal government pays the costs, sets the rules To the Editor: When you have a problem is it more important to find a person to blame, or to find a solution?

OPINION

In our current recession President Obama and the Democrats blamed President Bush and the Republicans, which is considered good politics — always blame the other party for the bad things, and take credit for the good. Next it was the insurance industry, the banks, business, rich people, the Tea Party, drug companies, low taxes, Congress, etc.

I’m reminded about the story of the wild pigs in the forest.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

The villagers loved to catch them; they were delicious. The only problem was that the pigs were wily and you could never get near them. But a fellow came along and told the villagers that he could get them all if they gave him a little time. He took some corn out into the forest and just threw it out onto the ground. It didn’t take long for the pigs to find the corn and every day he took more out to them.

He put up a few fence posts around the area, then gradually a fence — adding an open gate. He waited until those trusting pigs were eating their free corn and closed the gate. The villagers said the pigs were very tasty.

For many years now the federal government paid 56 percent of the cost of welfare for the states while the state and local governments shared the other 44 percent.

The Fed sets the standards and rules. The federal government pays a big portion of highway construction costs, but they set the rules and prevailing wages. If a local government wants a new building or project the Feds will pay part of the costs, but they set the rules. Our medical bills are now going to be paid by the federal government, but they set the rules.

The federal government is now borrowing 40 percent of the money that they are “giving” to us. This is a mortgage on every person in the country for many years to come. The dollars that many of us have put away for our retirement will not buy very much in the years to come.

Republicans, Tea Party members and many conservative Democrats are coming to understand that nothing is free.

It’s hard for many of us to listen to the president when in one speech he says “there is nothing that we can’t do if we all get together” and in the next he is adding a new group as enemies.

Dysfunctional at its best GUEBERT, from pg. 3A http://agpolicy.org/weekcol/578.html — the Aug. 26 Policy Pennings column by University of Tennessee’s Daryll Ray and Harwood Schaffer that challenges the “new regulation” myths in ag.)

Little wonder nearly nine out of 10 Americans disapprove of Congress; they know the truth: Congress isn’t just dysfunctional; it actually believes its dysfunction is useful.

It will get worse. In a blistering, Aug. 29 essay on Truthdig.org, Chris Hedges, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who spent nearly 30 years reporting from more than 50 countries, forlornly labels the coming year in American politics as “The Election March of the Trolls.” (www.truthdig.com/chris_hedges) You’ll see it, he predicts, when “… everywhere the pulse of the nation is being assiduously monitored through polls and focus groups, not because our opinions matter, but because our troll candidates understand that by parroting back to us our own viewpoints they can continue to spend their days lapping up corporate money with other trolls in the two houses of Congress, the White House, the Supreme Court and television studios where they chat with troll celebrity journalists.”

That’s a far more insightful commentary of today’s filthy, me-first politics than the baloney-filled nonsense spouted by Sen. Pat Roberts when asked about the 2012 farm bill.

I was wrong; names matter. After all, trolls are on the march.

departments and elevators, plus trained in the procedures to handle these entrapments.”

A set of these rescue tubes costs approximately $2,700. Many rural fire departments conduct special fund raising projects to get themselves equipped.

In 2010, agriculture experienced 551 fatalities nationwide with 47 being grain bin entrapments, plus there were 70,000 disabling injuries. According to Purdue University researchers, 2010 was the deadliest in decades for grain bin accidents. Tractor rollovers still are the No. 1 source of injuries and fatalities in agriculture.

NECAS urges these safety precautions: • Stay out of bins.

• Turn off augers before entering bins.

• Provide a body harness with lifeline for anyone going into a grain bin.

• Make sure there is someone outside the bin who can help if something goes wrong.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Handling grain is a year-round activity for farmers, as is the need to practice safety.

Each year there are stories of people becoming trapped in stored grain, but these accidents can be prevented.

Even when they are not prevented, the victims can be rescued.

Dan Neenan, manager of the National Education Center for Agricultural Safety, demonstrated NECAS’s mobile “grain rescue” system at Farmfest.

Neenan’s team had a grain bin, shelled corn, appropriate equipment for rescuing a “victim” from a grain bin, plus actual participants for each of the six shows he did each day at the DeKalb exhibit.

Neenan said the rescue system has been functioning at various farm shows, fairs, community safety events, etc., for about a year but they’ve been doing Dick Hagen hands-on training with fire departDan Neenan’s crew from the National Education Center for Agriculments, co-op elevators, 4-H and FFA tural Safety demonstrates a bin rescue at Farmfest. groups, etc., for over 15 years.

In this visit with The Land, Neenan ments nationally now have purchased these rescue stressed the importance of timing when doing rescue tubes because they’ve only been on the market for work. A high-capacity conveyor can move enough grain about five years. “But we’re seeing a big push now to submerge a 6-foot-tall man in only 15 seconds. “Even toward getting these units in place with more fire though we’re aware of survivor rescues when they have been completely submerged for as long as 2 1/2 hours, timing is so critical,” he said For partial entrapment time involved depends upon how deeply the person is trapped. With grain at the knee and higher it simply becomes more difficult and more time demanding.

“For a 165-pound person trapped to their waist, it takes 465 pounds of upward pressure to extract that person,” Neenan said. “So if you had only two people in the bin trying to do that rescue without any equipment, they too would actually sink before getting the victim out. If that person is trapped to their neck, the lifting force is 900 pounds.

“Realizing the force required, don’t attempt to pull the person out of the grain. The answer is to drain The new 1700 flair shredder from Hiniker. the grain from around the person,” he said.

AgrAbility Project can help farmers stay on the farm

By KEVIN SCHULZ The Land Editor Nobody plans to have a farm accident.

Nobody wants to be disabled as the result of an accident.

But, as they say, “stuff” happens.

When that “stuff” happens, AgrAbility is there to help you keep farming.

“AgrAbility has been around since 1990, but how many people even know that it exists?,” asked Dan Stores, assistive technology program manager for EquipALife in Maple Plain, Minn. AgrAbility is a collaboration between the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the University of Minnesota Extension and EquipALife.

“The resources and information available are huge,” Stores said.

Knowing where to turn is a big hurdle for a producer who has just suffered a debilitating injury, one that may make a further life as a farmer difficult.

“The main objective of vocational rehab is to keep them working,” Stores said. In the case of an injured farmer, that means finding a way to make their equipment accessible or make sure that they are still able to perform their chores.

“Farmers are pretty ingenious when it comes to making things to make their lives easier,” said Howard Rosten, information and referral/technology manager for SMILES in Mankato, Minn., the south central Minnesota contact for

the AgrAbility project.

“Sometimes we’re just there to help fill in the gaps.”

Once a farmer has suffered an injury that may hinder their farm work, they need to get in touch with the AgrAbility Project.

This in itself may be a big step. “You’d be surprised how many disabled farmers there are,” Stores said.

“There’s pride involved. A lot of disabled farmers aren’t always looking for help.

That’s a barrier sometimes.”

Once they do come forward, an onsite assessment is done of their farm.

“We come in and take a look at the whole operation,” Stores said. “It helps to have a third-party assessment, because a lot of time a farmer will just keep trying to do things the way they always have, even before they suffered their injury.”

When someone thinks of a farm injury, it is common to think of the loss of a limb or mobility, but farm injuries go beyond that. “We had one farmer who walked with a cane, and we found out a solution for helping him was as simple as putting a cane holder on every tractor or combine, so that when he got up there, he had a place to put his cane, and it was always accessible for him,” Stores said.

Some injury cases are a little more complicated than that.

“As part of the assessment, we need to help the farmer prioritize what they ‘need.’ They may have a list of 50 things that would make their life and work easier, but more than likely, they are not going to get all 50,” Stores said. “We can

help them prioritize that down to maybe 10 things that they really need.” Maybe they’d like a lift for every tractor, but they may only get a lift for the tractors they use most often.

The assessment process also helps the farmers take a hard look at their operation. “We want to keep them on the farm, but due to their injury, they may need to look at a change in their operation,” Rosten said. “If farming is no longer a viable option, we will also assist the farmer in making a career change.”

Rosten and Stores shared the story of a crop and livestock farmer who suffered an injury, that in the end resulted in his turning over the livestock portion to others in the family operation. “He was able to keep working on the crop production,” Stores said.

Ergonomics — Smart moves for safe, efficient work Ergonomics is the science of designing the job, equipment and workplace to fit the worker.

By applying ergonomic principles in the workplace, we reduce the likelihood that workers of all ages will experience a musculoskeletal disorder and help ensure that workers of all ages stay safe, comfortable and productive.

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders can occur when tasks are repetitive, require awkward postures to accomplish or require excessive force.

A work-related musculoskeletal disorder can range from mild muscle aches and pains to long-term disabling health problems, including carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, rotator cuff syndrome and chronic back injuries, among others.

A third of injuries that cause those who farm to miss work are sprains and strains; and a quarter of them are back injuries. Work practices, which cause such musculoskeletal disorders, not only hurt workers’ health, but also affect workers’ earnings and growers’ profits.

The resources listed below include tools and other simple solutions to improve safety and reduce musculoskeletal disorders while maintaining or improving work efficiency. The first two resources include various two-page tip sheets offering ergonomic solutions for specific problems.

Many of these ideas can be adapted for many types of crops and for different sized farm operations. Some include cost analyses and explain how to adapt existing equipment for new uses, as well as resources for purchasing equipment.

Most of these ideas have come from the collaborative effort between grow-

ers, farm workers and university researchers. Educators have used them to introduce their agricultural engineering students to ergonomics and as a guide for projects. You can, too.

• The Healthy Farmers/Healthy Profits project at the University of Wisconsin has produced a wide range of work efficiency tip sheets for nursery, vegetable, berry and dairy operations. http://bse.wisc.edu • Simple Solutions: Ergonomics for Farm Workers (NIOSH Publication No. 2001-111) includes an overview of ergonomics, a series of tip sheets and an example of how one woman implemented changes in her company that significantly reduced workers’ compensation costs. Among the interventions are the use of smaller bins for grape harvesting.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health has filled requests for over 80,000 copies in both English and Spanish. Log on to www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/agriculture then scroll down to NIOSH Publications on Agriculture — Ergonomics.

• Easy Ergonomics: A Guide to Selecting Non-Powered Hand Tools (NIOSH Publication No. 2004-164) presents an easy-to-use guideline for selecting or purchasing the best available ergonomically designed non-powered hand tools.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent “I’ve been bow-hunting for 30-plus years,” said Randy Van Overbeke. “I bow-hunted whitetails so much and loved the animal so much that the next step for me was to raise them.”

That’s how Van Overbeke explains how he got into raising whitetail deer. He and his wife, Susan, operate Redwood River Whitetails. They have more than 200 deer on their deer farm at Russell, Minn.

It may sound exotic, but “it’s like other livestock business,” said Susan, who grew up on a livestock farm in South Dakota. “We sell bred A whitetail is does, open does, buck prone to stress. fawns, doe fawns, When you start breeder bucks and trorunning them phy bucks.” through chutes, The trophy bucks go they get to hunting preserves, stressed out, the rest to other and can even breeders. Susan is secretary-treasurer of the die from stress.

Minnesota Deer Breeders Association.

— Randy Their website lists Van Overbeke around 150 breeders in the state.

These deer are considered livestock. They are not domesticated animals, the Van Overbekes point out, but neither are they wild deer that have been penned up. Their deer are 30 generations removed from their wild ancestors.

They certainly aren’t tame animals, nor do they want them to be. The deer recognize a four-wheeler and a golf cart when they drive down the alley between the pens, so that doesn’t spook them, but they said that a person walking down the alley would send the deer running for the opposite side of the pen.

“I can walk into their pens up to the feeder and they stand and watch,” Randy said. “If I step beyond their feeders, they take off running.”

Still, they are considered livestock in Minnesota and are regulated as such.

“We’re the most highly regulated agricultural livestock,” Susan said.

They test and register all of their animals. Every three years they test for tuberculosis and brucellosis, and every animal over the age of 12 months that dies is sent in to be tested for chronic wasting disease.

All of the testing, vaccinating and worming makes a healthy herd.

“It makes it kind of difficult, too,” Randy said. “A whitetail is prone to stress. When you start running them through chutes, they get stressed out, and can even die from stress.”

The Van Overbeke’s have been raising whitetails for five-and-a-half years. This fall they will sell their second crop of trophy bucks to the preserves.

Still learning about whitetail WHITETAIL, from pg. 11A They have seven breeding bucks, and most of their breeding is natural. They artificially breed to bring other genetic lines into the herd, or other traits of the antlers. When they artificially breed, they are hoping to have doe fawns to carry on the new genetics. This year they had all buck fawns out of their artificially bred does.

“You picture the nice buck you like to see, and that’s what you breed for,” Randy said. “The average deer in the wild is probably about 150-inch antler size.”

(Antler size combines the length of the tines and the beam, four circumference lengths and the inside spread.)

“The average that preserves sell is probably around a 150- to 180-inch buck since most people can afford it at that class,” Susan said. “We have several over 200 inches this year.”

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

Some breeders are now going for huge size, but the Van Overbekes want a buck that still looks like a whitetail deer.

“We would like to achieve a 200-inch plus mature buck at 3 to 4 years old that is nicely typical and balanced in his overall look,” Susan said.

What does it take to raise whitetail deer? Randy said it takes a good marriage, a lot of money, and a lot of patience and time. To that Susan added a lot of knowledge, a lot of research, a lot of contacts and a lot of internet time.

“The thing about deer farming is that you have to invest for a long time before you see dividends,” Randy said. “It’s a long-term commitment.”

Randy also hopes that some day it will be a fulltime commitment. For now, he raises deer while continuing his other full-time profession, landscaping.

After years of hunting, Randy thought he knew whitetail deer, but he’s still learning.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

“They are very dangerous,” he said. “When they are growing up and have velvet antlers, they are mellow and friendly. Once they get hard horns and their testosterone level gets up there, they are very aggressive animals. They could pin you against the gate and kill you. The whitetail has a temper that is unbelievable, and they don’t forget easily.”

“He thought he knew a lot about whitetails after he hunted them for years,” Susan said. “Now he knows a lot more — how they sound, how they act, what they do.”

“And how not to trust them,” he said.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

By BRIAN OJANPA Mankato Free Press If the meat business had a hall of fame, John Story would be in it.

Which is to say, there is, and he is.

In November, the retired supermarket company executive and Mankato, Minn., resident will be inducted into the Meat Industry John Story Hall of Fame, which annually honors leaders from all sectors of the livestock, meat and poultry processing industries.

Story, who will be among 12 inductees at ceremonies in Chicago, worked nearly 50 years in the industry, retiring in 1998 as head of meat and deli operations for Fairway Foods.

He will join past hall-of-famers that include Kentucky Fried Chicken founder Col. Harland Sanders, McDonald’s founder Ray Kroc, Hormel Foods President Joel Johnson, country singer Jimmy Dean, who became a breakfast sausage magnate and a spate of food scientists, professors and others who made significant contributions to the industry.

Hall of Fame President Chuck Jolley said Story was instrumental in the establishment of nationwide meat-merchandising standards to benefit consumers.

“When he got started in the supermarket business back in the ’50s the idea was that you just threw some meat in a meat A piece of meat case and stood back and let people buy it.

“Back then the consumers were saying, ‘We don’t know what these cuts are because the names are different in different parts of the country.’ A piece of meat would have a name like ‘Grand Steak’ or ‘Hawaiian Steak’ that had nothing to do with the meat itself,” Story said.

The standards committee ensured that, say, top round steak was identified as such whether it was sold in California, New York or all points in between.

Story’s work with the committee also included development of marketing programs for beef and pork producers who heretofore had none.

As an executive with the Upper Midwest chain Fairway Foods he helped the company grow meat sales from $10 million to $120 million annually over the span of 18 years.

Produce auction draws variety of veggies, customers

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 9, 2011

By RENAE B. VANDER SCHAAF The Land Correspondent ELMA, Iowa — Edna Ferber immortalized growing produce in her 1924 Pulitzer winning book “So Big.” Now almost a century later, wholesale produce auctions are regaining popularity. Iowa now boasts at least three. They are more common in the eastern states.

The rural communities of Elma, Kalona and Wapsie Valley have given their farmers an opportunity to vend their vegetables.

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

“The Cedar Valley Produce Auction house opened here at Elma in 2003,” said General Manager Ivan Martin. “The building was constructed a year before.” Elma is located in Howard County in northeast Iowa.

Cedar Valley Produce Auction, said David Oberhetzer, who played a role in organizing the cooperative.

“Growing corn and soybeans didn’t always pay the bills, so we sought out something that would provide an income, yet allow families to work together,” he said. “Produce auctions worked good in Pennsylvania.”

Many of these families had come from Pennsylvania, where they were familiar with the growing and selling of produce.

Auction days are Monday at noon, Wednesday and Friday at 10 a.m. “The season begins in April with bedding plants, flowers and just a little produce. Sale days get longer as more and more produce comes in.” He tries to limit sales to five hours.

Martin said the auction house is Renae B. Vander Schaaf organized as a cooperative with Buyers and sellers come from far and wide to the Cedar Valley Produce Auction house.

They may know that on a particular day they have time to can tomatoes, so off to the market they go to purchase a few bushels of the fresh, locally grown fruit.

As the calendar changes to September, Martin sees a large variety of produce coming in — tomatoes, cantaloupes, watermelons, onions, green beans, cucumbers, potatoes, acorn squash, spaghetti squash and even a few pumpkins.

An atmosphere of county fair excitement prevails during their pumpkin sale day, scheduled for Sept.

21. Flatbeds, wagons and any others sorts of conveyance will be heaped high with the harvest colors and shapes of winter squash, pumpkins and other staples of fall eating and decorating.

“It is a big day,” said Martin, the auction’s general manager. “We sell the bulk of the pumpkins grown on that day.”

The produce auction has been successful in its few years in Iowa. In 2010, sales exceeded the $2 million mark. That will likely continue, especially with satisfied customers such as Jim Mohr.

Mohr, of Auburn, Iowa, travels the 190 miles each sale day. He resells the produce at his farm market stand that he has had for 21 years at the Junction of Highways 71 and 175.

“I used to grow everything myself, but these families ... are professionals. Their produce is at a better quality than I can grow myself. I never miss a sale.”

Q&A with Minnesota Beef Council’s Colleen Zenk

She recently conducted a culinary workshop at Worthington, Minn., for foodservice directors, nutrition consultants and food handlers.

Here are excerpts from an interview with Zenk.

A: You bet. The studies that I have seen really encourage a balanced diet.

Just what is straw worth?

Many factors affect the value of straw as bedding or feed. I’m not going to try to guess at a value per straw but rather identify a couple of concepts to consider.

For buying out of someone else’s field, you might think about a price per bale that you would pay for straw delivered to your farm. Subtract any raking, baling, handling and hauling costs. Subtract some kind of savings that makes it worthwhile to do the work rather than buying straw that is delivered to your farm.

At the Sauk Centre (Minn.) Hay Auction through the 2010-11 season, it was not unusual for large round bales and 3 x 3 x 8 bales to sell for $30-45 for clean solid bales. There were some higher prices, and it’s not always easy to tell from reports how much variation there might be in size, weight or density of bales.

Some people ask about the value of

nutrients in straw. Here are some values for the pounds of nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium per ton of dry matter.

Oat straw: N-12, P-6.3, K-37 Wheat straw: N-14, P-3.3, K-24 Rye straw: N-12, P-3, K-22 Barley straw: N-13, P-5.1, K-39 Remember the only nutrients that have value are the ones that are needed on the field. There can be a value for leaving organic matter on the field, but I don’t have a way to put a good dollar value on that. I’d expect to see bedding market value for straw to be greater than the nutrient value.

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Ordinarily a livestock farmer doesn’t argue much when it comes to spreading manure. It’s a chore that needs to be done regardless of the weather and regulations. But get into larger livestock operations — hog, beef, dairy, turkey — and manure-spreading time becomes an issue, especially with wet ground.

So does the idea of 20 tons in two minutes have some appeal? That’s the capacity of two new units being used by Revier Cattle Co. near Olivia, Minn.

“Time is a factor,” said Tom Revier when describing the new Artex Vertical Spreaders mounted on a couple of their heavy-duty truck chassis.

“We have a strict manure management program dictated by county and (Minnesota Pollution Control Agency) rules that govern when we can spread, what slopes and drainage limits, what tillage incorporation after spreading, even provisions regulating load limits on certain township roads. So when it’s spread time a bigger, faster unit helps greatly,” he said.

Conveniently for them, Artex Spreaders are assembled just 18 miles down the road at Redwood Falls. Chett Bisel, manager of Redwood Metal Works, a division of Farms Union Industries, said they’re now producing a variety of Artex units, both pull-type and truck-mounted.

“Many of our wagons are combination boxes capable of handling a variety of products. You need that flexibility to justify the costs of these units,” Bisel said.

“It’s hard to sell a manure spreader these days to just spread manure when you can offer units that handle silage, stock pile manure, and even offer an attachment for hauling grain in these boxes.”

Artex is a new name to Minnesota agriculture but dates back about 30 years ago to Abbotsford, British Columbia.

“The product has stood the test of time and they have continued to improve with new engineering, new refinements and additional attachments,” Bisel said.

For example, he said, “we’ve come up with a truck that we think is set for the future. It’s got a six-point weigh scale Digit Star NT460 that will read every load, the spreading rate per acre and per ton, all downloadable onto your home computer. This machine has the Air Boss which permits deflating your 60 psi road pressure down to 14-16 psi in the field which greatly reduces soil compaction leaving a virtual ‘zero imprint’ on the soil. As machinery gets bigger, we’re seeing more evidence of field compaction, especially in headlands. So tire pressure and tire size on these big manure units is really important.”

Revier is running a 22-foot box with high sidewalls that carries 20-plus tons per fill. Field speeds when spreading are in that 14 to 18 mph category and spreading about 10 tons per acre. The Reviers match up load size to field size so the truck is empty at the end of each run. The axles on that rig are rated at 25 tons per axle giving a 50,000 pound per axle road rating.

Costs of these innovative Artex boxes vary widely depending upon the model, and the innovation options. Bisel said they tested the vertical spreader design on turkey and poultry litter first knowing that if it handled those products, other livestock manure would not be an issue.

Manage your crops all the way through harvest

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 9, 2011

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Thanks to Mother Nature’s somewhat cantankerous mood all spring long — and much of the summer, too — crop insurance claims will likely take on every dimension imaginable this year. Your attention to detail will have a major impact on the effectiveness of your crop insurance policy.

This starts with timely submission of a claim to your agent, following the

protocol and instructions of your adjuster, concluding only after every bushel has been accounted for.

Lee Broderius, assistant vice president at AgStar in Glencoe, Minn., indicated most farmers are now thinking the 2011 crop will likely meet or exceed their crop insurance guarantees. He added however, “there is a growing concern about quality, test weights and the likelihood of highly variable crop moisture levels.”

Even if they don’t think they have a bushel claim, we won’t know until the end of October if they will have a revenue claim.

— Lee Broderius Quality Crop insurance policies have some protection against extremely poor grain quality. For example, there is a quality adjustment factor used when test weights for corn drop below 49 pounds per bushel. In general, the lower the test weight, the higher discount factor applied to a claim. Essentially the discount reduces the bushels that count against the guarantee, possibly increasing the indemnity for each step it drops below 49 pounds.

In addition, there are some toxins found in poor-quality corn that can only be identified in the field, which means a field appraisal is required. As harvest nears, Broderius suggested that producers review the provisions of their policy related to quality and discuss concerns with their agent to determine if a claim should be submitted.

Claims If it’s decided to submit a claim, producers should be sure to sharpen their pencils prior to harvest. It is imperative that good production records are kept. Typically insurance units are identified by section number and farm name, and time and heartache will be saved if producers keep track of yields by these units, according to Broderius.

He acknowledged that requirements specifying keeping load records and assembly sheets by section and farm is a little extra work, but well worth it in the long run.

Storage On-farm storage provides a benefit, but it also poses some challenges to crop insurance claims. One of his concerns for clients is the existence of old crop still in the bin. “Get it measured,” he said, and cautioned about commingling any of this year’s crop with old crop. Farmers need to contact their crop insurance agent to request a bin measurement.

“Farmers cannot

assume that they, their agent, or Farm Service Agency can do the measuring,” Broderius said. In all cases, the insurance company must authorize a third party or complete the measurement themselves to maintain the integrity of a claim. A great rule of thumb: Don’t commingle old and new crop grain until your approval is given.

In situations with spot losses, a producer might have grain from six fields headed for the same bin. “If one of those fields has a loss and that field’s grain has been put in the middle of the bin,” Broderius said, “it’s impossible to determine the production from that field without load records.”

Silage “For producers planning to chop corn for silage or combine high-moisture corn,” he said, “we recommend field appraisals prior to harvest.” This serves two purposes: identifying potential production losses and third-party verification for actual production history integrity. “Even if they don’t think they have a bushel claim, we won’t know until the end of October if they will have a revenue claim.”

From time to time, an adjuster may authorize the use of check strips, but this is on a case-by-case basis only and is typically dependent on the workload of the adjuster.

Change for 2011: “We have seen an increase of silage variety corn for our dairy operations and in some counties those (previously uninsurable) varieties are now eligible for federal crop insurance.”

Damaged crops Regardless of crop condition, Broderius said, producers still need to manage their crop through harvest.

For example, if aphids severely damaged a field and it’s questioned whether it even pays to harvest, that field still has to be managed and appraised to validate the claim. “Without verification of your inputs, you could lose your claim and even be subject to a penalty,” he said.

Bottom line A paper trail is still the most reliable way to verify what happens in 2011 crop insurance claims. Producers should communicate regularly with their agent, identify possible losses and keep good records. Spending that time this fall, will help make sure that trail is clear and accurate.

Grain Angles How low will corn yields go?

The following market analysis is for the week ending Sept. 2.

CORN — Corn jumped to a new contract high as we started out the week, but even a three-percent decline in the weekly crop ratings wasn’t enough to stop funds from cutting their net long positions as the U.S. dollar rallied.

Yield estimates continue to decline with one private company estimating the U.S. corn crop at 146.3 bushels per acre with production at 12.35 billion bushels. Remember on the August U.S. Department of Agriculture report the yield was fore- PHYLLIS NYSTROM Country Hedging cast at 153.0 bu./acre for producSt. Paul tion of 12.914 billion bushels.

Informa Economics is scheduled to release their updated crop estimates on Sept. 6. The market will be quite interested in whether Informa drops their expectation below 150 bu./acre. Informa’s August numbers were 158.0 bu./acre with a crop of 13.0 billion bushels. The trade seems to have already adjusted to a sub-150 yield, so the next question is how low the next estimate needs to be to cause a stir among traders.

As we closed out the marketing year, weekly export sales were a negative 12.6 million bushels for old crop and 37.7 million for new crop (2011-12).

Weekly ethanol production was down 16,000 barrels versus the previous week, but 4 percent higher than a year ago. Brazil announced this week they are lowering their ethanol requirement in gasoline from 25 percent to 20 percent, effective in October. This See NYSTROM, pg. 23A

Livestock Angles Grain Angles Expect volatility, LaNina dryness erratic moves deteriorates crops The livestock markets are still erratic and extremely volatile as we move into the last of August.

With all the unsettled issues that effect the economy and thus the livestock markets, the volatility and the erratic moves in these markets are not likely to change in the near future.

The cattle market has found a weakening trend as we approach the beginning of September. The beef cutouts appear to have run into resistance once again as the price moves higher. This has forced the packers to become more cautious in the bidding process to acquire live inventory.

The fact that the latest U.S. JOE TEALE Department of Agriculture CatBroker tle on Feed report indicated that Great Plains Commodity Afton cattle on feed and placements were higher than the trade had anticipated also weighed on the psychology of the market. The fact that the marketing number was better than the trade thought could counteract the overall bearishness of the numbers on feed and bring on some underlying strength to the producers to ask for higher money.

The struggle between supply and demand should continue as bulls stand on the fact that supplies of cattle will be lower and the bears stand on the fact that domestic demand is continuing to shrink with the weakening economy. This will set the stage for the continuation of the extreme volatility and the quick and erratic moves in either direction for the weeks ahead.

Therefore, producers should keep up-to-date on market conditions and protect inventories on market See TEALE, pg. 23A

U.S. row crops continue to deteriorate as the tailend dryness of the La Nina plays out.

Growing conditions have been less than ideal for most of the Corn Belt these last few weeks. The corn market has been working to factor this tightening of supply into the price. As of the date of this writing, the December corn futures contract has traded to new contract high prices eight out of the last 11 trading days. Aug. 26 the November soybean contract broke out of a long-held, sideways trading channel to set a new contract high.

If the grain markets continue to TOM NEHER climb, its role will be to ration the AgStar VP Agribusiness & Grain Specialist supply by price. Higher prices Rochester will have an impact on the profitability of the end-user and will eventually force the weaker players out of the market. This cycle can come back to haunt the holders of grain, when demand is rationed to the point that end-users are destroyed. They will no longer provide the needed demand to keep the bull market rolling. When this happens, prices will factor this lack of demand into the price with lower bids. This can be hard and cruel, yet it is the nature of a free market economy.

The reactions of many in the trade have been almost as a matter of fact or “Ho Hum.” The market volatility has become so common that it is starting to feel normal to us in the trade.

I received a telephone call from my brother the other night. We talked about the stock market volatility and the world economic scene. He said, See NEHER, pg. 23A

How much did scattered rains help soybean crop?

OUTLOOK: Our short-term resistance at $7.80 was tested this week when December corn touched $7.79 per bushel. At that level, buyers turned sellers and open interest increased as we corrected lower. December corn staged an impressive $7.79 to $7.37 1/2 weekly range, closing down 7 cents at $7.60 for the week. From a technical viewpoint, December corn’s uptrend is still intact, with support at $7.20 and resistance $7.80 to $8 short term. Keep in mind the bulls in the market like to be

Pork cutouts follow live price from highs TEALE, from pg. 22A strength through the next several months.

The hog market appears to have finally made that seasonally summer top as prices have dropped dramatically over the past several weeks. At the same time pork cutouts have followed the live price and have fallen from all-time highs. The demand for pork products slowed as we moved into those all-time highs, indicating a reluctance from retailers to acquire product due to shrinking retail demand.

The futures market is definitely indicating the fear

that the number of hogs is on the increase as well as the shrinking domestic demand. Seasonally the hog market has had a tendency to weaken into the fall months and this year appears to be no different.

From time to time the expectation that further export demand will surface and create short strength in the market, but overall it would appear that the cash side of the market will continue to move toward the lower futures prices.

Producers should continue to remain current and look at strategies to protect live inventories.

NEHER, from pg. 22A “Several years ago, when the stock market would have a 200-point day; I considered that a big move.

Now we have back-to-back 500-point swing days and it feels like normal.”

Have we become complacent or just grown numb to market volatility? Or are we just learning to manage the volatility more gracefully than we did in 2008?

We can only hope that the answer is the latter and that we have become stronger managers, by better managing our margins. If we are rewarding complacency with inaction, we may find ourselves “without a chair when the music stops.”

Ed Usset, of the Center for Farm Financial Management, has a cast of celebrity marketing players in his “Winning the Game” educational offering. One of

those players is Hank Holdem.

Hank never sells any of his crops pre-harvest and he holds the crop, un-priced until he has to clean out his bins to make room for the new crop right before harvest. Then he sells his crops across the scale, taking the going price. Hank wins once in a while, but has the poorest marketing record over time. Yet, Hank was the winner in 2008 and the last two years.

We can’t argue with the facts, but we can look at the probability or odds of his luck having run its course.

We are challenged to keep our management skills sharp and nimble. The financial decisions that we make over the next several years may impact the next several decades. Let’s not become complacent during these times of tremendous volatility and opportunity. Keep looking for the Grain Angles around every corner.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans quickly jumped higher as we resumed our work week, and traded mostly sideways from there as we wonder how much scattered rains this week helped the crop. Most yield estimates are falling in the 40 to 42 bu./acre range with this week’s latest private estimate coming in at 41.1 bu./acre for production of 3.03 billion bushels.

The August USDA numbers were 41.4 bu./acre and production of 3.056 billion bushels. Informa Economics will issue new crop estimates on Sept. 6.

Informa’s August soybean estimate was 42.5 bu./acre and production at 3.139 billion bushels.

Weekly export sales were a disappointment with nothing for old crop and 21.8 million for new crop. In addition, it was rumored this week that China may have bought up to 1.5 million metric tons of South American soybeans for late fall delivery. Taiwan was buying soybeans for this fall from South America as well. This doesn’t bode well for U.S. export sales.

OUTLOOK: November’s short term resistance of $14.55 was pierced this week when November soybeans hit $14.65 mid-week before consolidating. For the week, November beans were up 22 1/4 cents, closing at $14.45 3/4 per bushel. On the weekly chart, the November contract broke higher out of the sideways pattern that has existed since February. Direction for soybeans may now be about trying to balance declining yields versus falling demand with $13.50 to $15 the range.

Nystrom’s notes: The next USDA crop production report is Sept. 12. The U.S. non-farm payrolls in August were unchanged from July (zero job growth), a bearish economic sentiment since estimates were for an increase of 68,000 jobs. The unemployment rate was unchanged also at 9.1 percent. Contract changes for the week ending Aug. 26: Minneapolis wheat gained 6 cents, Kansas City wheat down 12 cents, while Chicago wheat lost 21 1/2 cents. October crude oil was $1.08 higher at $86.45, heating oil dropped 1.8 cents, gasoline jumped 5.36 cents higher and natural gas ended with a 4-cent loss. As of midafternoon Sept. 2, the Dow was down 41 points for the week, gold was $82.70 higher and the U.S. dollar index was up a full point.

NYSTROM, from pg. 22A could result in lower U.S. ethanol exports and alleviate some of the tightness on the balance sheet down the road. Three major grain companies have announced in the last couple of weeks that they will not accept corn varieties that have not been approved in the European Union. At this juncture, the market has not reacted in either direction to these announcements.

USDA: Benchmark milk price sets new record high This column was written for the marketing week ending Sept. 2.

The farm benchmark milk price has hit the highest level ever, topping last month’s record and highs set four years ago. The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced the August federal order Class III price at $21.67

per hundredweight, up 28 cents from July, $6.49 above August 2010, $3.07 above California’s 4b cheese milk price, and equates to about $1.86 per gallon.

That put the 2011 average at $18.18, up from $13.80 at this time a year ago and $10.29 in 2009.

Butter production up 21 percent from year ago farmers and remained above historical averages in August, according to the DDR, but Dairy Profit Weekly editor, Dave Natzke, warned in Friday’s DairyLine that “things aren’t quite so bright.” He said that, despite the high milk prices, dairy farmers actually saw income margins tighten a little in August, squeezed by higher feed prices and other costs. He said that, when comparing the milk-feed price ratio for the entire summer, it’s the lowest since spring and summer of 2009, when milk prices were hovering around $11 to $12/cwt., or about half of what they are today.

The USDA’s latest Ag Prices report put the August All-Milk price at an estimated at $22/cwt., up a dime from July, up $5.30 from August 2010, and a new high. Meanwhile, the cost of feed to get 100 pounds of milk was $11.64, up 23 cents from last month, according to the DDR.

MIELKE, from pg. 24A were in June and July, he said, but they’re tighter than the barrel market is. It’s also the time of the year because demand slows for processed cheese due to less grilling and, “instead of holding up the blocks like they did in the early stages of July, could very well cause the whole complex to come down and pull the blocks down with it.” He also pointed to the economic uncertainty in the United States, warning that could further lessen demand and put more downward pressure on prices.

Cash butter closed the week at $2.0050, down 8.75 cents, and 22 cents below a year ago. You’ll recall it peaked last year at $2.2350, the week of Sept.

27. Only three carloads were traded on the week and the latest NASS price averaged $2.0509, down 1.6 cents. NASS nonfat dry milk averaged $1.5698, up 1.6 cents, and dry whey averaged 57.94 cents, up 0.9 cent.

Butter is available and in storage, Brooks said, but there’s not enough of it to be a burden on those who own it, and there’s no push to sell it even though we are in a slack period for demand. He added that we’re not making a whole lot of butter right now although, with the cheese price declines the past few weeks, milk that was destined to the cheese vat may now get channeled into butter/powder facilities. That could result in higher inventory levels and pressure markets.

There hasn’t been a lot of trading in butter, he said, and not a lot of signals which way the market is going, but as we get into September and approach October we’ll likely see some promotions for Thanksgiving and Christmas although he doesn’t expect a lot with butter above $2. It might have to fall below $2 before retailers will want to do any real promotion, he said.

■ Butter production in July totaled 135 million pounds, according to the USDA’s latest Dairy Products report, down 3.9 percent from June, but a whopping 21.6 percent above July 2010. Nonfat dry milk output, at 133 million pounds, was down 9 percent from June but up 1.4 percent from a year ago.

American-type cheese amounted to 352 million pounds, down 3.5 percent from June, and 4.3 percent below a year ago, the first decline in year-over-year output since March 2008, according to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s Daily Dairy Report.

Italian-type cheeses were off 4.6 percent from June and 0.4 percent below a year ago and total cheese production dropped to 859 million pounds, down 4 percent from June, and 2 percent below a year ago, according to USDA data.

■ Turning to the demand side of things, the DDR reports that the cheese and butter sales growth rates slowed in the second quarter, though they remained above historical averages. Total cheese use was up 3.3 percent from a year ago and butter disappearance was up 7.2 percent. Nonfat dry milk and skim milk powder use was down 2.2 percent, according to the USDA.

Maximizing the value of your manure is good management

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 9, 2011

Livestock producers face uncertain markets and narrow margins.

This situation has motivated them to optimize production methods, utilizing all resources including manure.

In addition, increases in the price of commercial fertilizer experienced in the last five years has heightened interest in the use of livestock manure for supplying crop nutrients and has significantly increased its value.

Over the past year more producers

Determining the economic value of the have been considering the contribution nutrients in livestock manure can be of manure’s value to their cash flow in tricky.

Nutrients in commercial fertilizer livestock operation budgets, and seekare acquired by paying for the nutrients ing an appropriate market value in and a small application charge. Additionexchange with crop producers. More ally, commercial fertilizer supplies the crop producers also are seeking liveamount and ratio of nutrients you need stock manure as a major nutrient or ordered. With manure you, in effect, source, either by purchasing from a “acquire” nutrients by paying for the cost of application, even if you already have ownership of the manure. With manure, you get the amount and ratio of nutrients that it contains, which complicates the determination of a value.

Even when a rate that supplies the correct amount of nitrogen is applied, the amount of phosphorous and potash applied may not match what you would have purchased commercially, and amounts applied above crop need probably have no value. In the past, manure application costs often exceeded the value of the nutrients applied. Now, in many situations, the nutrient value in the manure exceeds the cost of application.

Maximizing the value of manure first requires understanding how economic value is gained from manure. In most cases the greatest contribution comes from the value of commercial fertilizer that manure would replace in the crop year after application. In some situations, another opportunity can come from second year credits, particularly with low fertility fields. Increased crop yield is another possible source of value created from manure application.

Where it is realized, that value has increased in the past year with higher crop prices. Finally, net value can be maximized by avoiding over-application. Overapplication beyond what the crop needs, or beyond what commercial fertilizer the crop producer would have purchased will usually increase application cost per acre without gaining additional income.

Management strategies to increase manure value can be looked at in the same way as how value is determined.

First, for the “Value of Year 1 Fertilizer and Application Costs Replaced” (the replacement of nutrients that would have been purchased) use the following management practices: • Apply for a nitrogen-requiring crop.

• Apply to crops and fields that need P and K. • Incorporate manure to reduce N volatilization losses.

• Use high nutrient concentration manure which requires fewer gallons

or tons to haul to meet crop needs, reducing application cost.

• Avoid unnecessary dilution in liquid manures from factors such as drinker wastage.

• Consider lower rates (P-based applications) with supplemental commercial N. This practice can potentially increase efficiency of nutrient use, spread yield benefits of manure over more acres, and avoid over-application of these nutrients. However, be sure that the application equipment used can apply the lower rate uniformly.

• Develop a multi-year set of manure tests for each barn to better estimate nutrient levels in manure.

• To gain residual value, apply manure to low P and K soil testing fields. Value is gained by replacing fertilizer that would be purchased for the next year.

• To gain yield response apply to fields that do not have a recent manure history. If possible select fields with lower organic matter.

• To limit manure application costs use equipment that has a range of application levels and that can be calibrated so that application accuracy is achieved. Avoid over-application which wastes nutrients and increases application costs per acre.

Another factor regarding N management with manure is the time of application. Many times the logistics of livestock operations, with their unique handling systems, etc., determine when the manure must be applied. Fall manure applications, either injected or broadcast, allow more time for the organic portions to break down before the plant needs the nutrients as compared to spring application.

In contrast, fall applications also provide more time for potential loss of N. Fall applications should be avoided on coarser-textured soils where N leaching can be an issue. If fall application is necessary, it should be done when soil temperatures are below 50 F. There is a useful spreadsheet, developed

by Bill Lazarus at the University of Minnesota, that considers first year fertilizer replacement value, possible residual value and yield impacts, along with application cost, and calculates net manure value.

The average Minnesota farm is growing rapidly in terms of total assets and net worth, according to the 2010 FINBIN Report on Minnesota Farm Finances published by the University of Minnesota’s Center for Farm Financial Management.

MARKETING

FINBIN, one of the largest and most accessible farm financial databases in the world, summarizes actual farm data from thousands of agricultural producers to generate detailed reports on whole farm, crop and livestock financials.

In constant dollars, total assets per farm have increased by more than $1.1 million over the past 15 years.

However, total debt increased by about $500,000 over the same period.

As a result, the average farm has gained almost $700,000 of real net worth over the past 15 years. This equates to 10 percent growth in net worth per year.

The FINBIN report included 2,446 Minnesota farms, or about 10 percent of the state’s commercial farms with total sales of more than $100,000.

From $250,000 to $500,000 in total sales are generally needed to provide

for a family’s living expenses.

Net worth increases can have two sources — those resulting from earnings, either farm or nonfarm, and those resulting from asset appreciation.

Over the past 15 years, 79 percent of the net worth growth was earned.

Retained earnings result when farm and non-farm income exceed the amount consumed by family expenditures and income taxes. The remaining 21 percent of net worth growth resulted from asset appreciation.

In high-profit years, the high-debt farms are able to leverage borrowed capital to multiply their earnings growth. However, they remain in highrisk territory in terms of their liquidity and solvency positions.

in the blends can segregate and fall to the bottom, and key vitamins and minerals can settle as well, making the mixture less nutritious and effective for the already malnourished.

These uncooked and partially cooked formulations were developed by ARS scientists nearly 50 years ago. During the past 15 years, Onwulata has worked on improving food blends and has now produced an enhanced ration that comes as a fully cooked commodity product. “The new product is called ‘instant corn-soy blend,’ or ICSB, and it can be stirred with sanitized, potable drinking water” to make the ration, Onwulata said.

Periodically, the FSA’s Kansas City Commodity Office in Missouri issues invitations for bids requesting particular commodities for procurement, as well as the requirements involved. The new ICSB could now be one of those commodities. The FSA included the new extruded process that ARS developed into the specifications for an additional type of corn-soy blend. ICSB could be purchased for the FAS-administered McGovern-Dole program.

A fully cooked blend In early 1993, ARS national program leaders convened a meeting with ARS scientists to discuss ways that the vitamin and mineral content of foodaid rations could be improved. In 1995, FSA food scientists contacted ARS food scientists to discuss specific problems with noncooked or partially cooked corn-soy rations becoming unstable over time. “Part of the problem was keeping partially cooked food fresh during long shipment and transportation periods,” Onwulata said. “We also See FOOD AID, pg. 30A

Thanks to the cooperative efforts of ARS, USAID and the USDA’s Farm Service Agency, the children of Haiti may soon benefit from an instant corn-soy blend food aid developed by an ARS scientist at Wyndmoor, Pa.

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 9, 2011

Instant corn-soy blend is fully cooked. ICSB shown here is extruded, ground into a powder, and mixed with tepid water, producing a porridge.

SPECIALIZING IN SUPER SERVICE

We’ve all seen the images on television from disasters overseas: Large white sacks of meal are unloaded from trucks as hungry families line up and await rations. The U.S. flag and the words “Gift of the United States of America” are prominently displayed in bright red and blue ink. These humanitarian efforts are the result of collaborations involving multiple national and international government managers, aid agency officials and policy administrators.

Agricultural Research Service scientists have been working with collaborators to bring enhanced features to food rations — corn-soy blends that supplement meals, particularly for young children. A new, fully cooked food-aid product has been developed as a result of this team effort. The work was led by food technologist Charles Onwulata in the Dairy Processing and Products Research Unit at the ARS Eastern Regional Research Center in Wyndmoor, Pa. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service administers the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program, which provides U.S. agricultural products for school feeding and other projects in more than 30 countries. The U.S. Agency for International Development — an independent federal agency — works in 100 developing countries to distribute commodity staples to people at risk of hunger and malnutrition.

The USDA’s Washington, D.C.-based Farm Service Agency purchases U.S. commodities that help foreign countries under the Agricultural Trade Development Assistance Act of 1954 — or Public Law 480. This law was renamed the “Food for Peace Act” in 2008.

The FSA implements agricultural policies and oversees the procurement chain for multiple programs. These include purchasing U.S. commodity products using both FAS and USAID funds. These commodity foods are then provided to FAS programs and USAID Food for Peace programs, which direct the foods to recipients through a wide network of partners that includes the United Nations World Food Program.

A nutritionally fortified and processed corn-soy blend is provided as a supplement to a ration that provides staple foods. This ration has been supplied as uncooked or partially cooked fortified corn- or wheat-soy blends that contain oil, vitamins and minerals. As with most food products, such blends go stale over time. Spoilage problems have been associated with uncooked cornsoy blends when fat components — oils — in the mix go rancid. Fine particles

FOOD AID, from pg. 29A discussed ways to remedy problems associated with nutrients settling to the bottom of bags.”

Onwulata then began developing a new food product using the same type of machines that are used to make puffed snacks and cereals. “Cheese puffs” and “cereal puffs” for example have been popular in the United States for more than 50 years. ICSB looks much like these popular puffed snacks when they exit the machinery — before it is ground — but with a creamy color and harder texture in its dry form.

The technology developed is referred to as an “instantized” process, which cooks foodstuff completely in a short time, under high heat and high pressure. The machine used to produce the food product is called a “twin-screw extruder.” Cooking extruders are specialized food-manufacturing machines consisting of tightly fitting screws that rotate within a stationary barrel.

The uncooked corn-soy meal, the vitamin premix and the mineral premix enter the barrel at one end and are heated and mixed by a variety of mixing and mashing screws. The cooked product then exits the extruder through an opening at the other end of the machine—and in less than two minutes has taken a new, fully cooked, expanded and textured form. The textured corn-soy blend is then crushed and milled to size to form the ICSB. Onwulata conducted several experiments showing that twin-screw extrusion could be used to create an instant product that, when rehydrated with safe drinking water, turns into a porridge that meets all required nutritional specifications, color and consistency.

Value-added emergency food The extrusion-based product that Onwulata and his team developed is based on the same formulation as traditional corn-soy blend, with the advantages being that the nutrients and oils are fully integrated into it. “This addresses the initial concerns of off-flavors, off-colors and uneven nutrient distribution in corn-soy blend,” Onwulata said.

On the road to ICSB success, Onwulata published a study in which he evaluated the composition, vitamins and minerals, and other properties of corn-soy blends made by six processors. His findings showed nonuniform distribution of the added vitamins and minerals. The paper, “Variation in Corn Soy Blends for Overseas Distribution,” which was coauthored with six other ERRC scientists, was published in Cereal Foods World in 1999. The findings also drove home the need to change to an instant, ready-to-eat blend. For the next six years, Onwulata worked on finalizing the new fully cooked, ready-to-eat product.

In 2005, Talari V. Rao Jude — who at the time was a lead food scientist with the FSA’s Commodity Policy Procurement Analysis Division — spotted the corn-soy blend evaluation paper and contacted Onwulata to review and discuss ICSB. “The merits were so overwhelming that we initiated a joint collaboration in 2008 between FSA and ARS to produce fresh ICSB product,” Jude said.

Then in 2009, Jude contacted Food for Peace to discuss the merits of ICSB as an improved product for See FOOD AID, pg. 31A

Food must withstand temperature extremes, storage In addition to reviewing existing products, Food for Peace has been working with other university experts and the USDA to develop the next generation of food-aid commodities, such as ready-to-use meal replacements for emergencies and foods for supplementary and therapeutic feeding programs.

It is expected that new products from both the Tufts review and the development of specifications for a variety of ready-to-use foods will be rolled out

over the next two years.

continuing series of demonstrations that focused on policy officials, manufacturing managers, scientists and aidagency officials,” Onwulata said.

“Nearly five years ago, Onwulata described a new fully cooked, extruded food-aid product he was developing that would overcome some of the problems we’d been experiencing with traditional corn-soy blends,” said Cleveland Marsh, FSA’s assistant to the deputy administrator for commodity operations and also acting export program manager.

“In late 2010, we amended our Commodity Requirements Document, or CRD, to include specifications for producing ICSB as an option, in addition to producing traditional milled grain as an option.” Once a request for food aid that cites the new CRD is received, the FSA is in a position to procure the most competitively priced products.

The ICSB was specified by the FSA as a supplemental food for emergency rations, displaced-persons assistance and as a weaning food in maternal and child health programs and other programs. It is to be composed of pregelatinized cornmeal; toasted soy flour; refined, deodorized and bleached soybean oil; premixed minerals; and premixed vitamins and antioxidants.

The finished-product requirements stipulate that each 100-gram serving must have a uniform distribution of vitamins and minerals. The ICSB must also be manufactured so as to produce a fully cooked end product with a neutral to slightly nutty flavor and must have a light yellow to golden buff color. Particle size and nutritional labeling are also stipulated.

For more than 15 years now, the FSA has been consulting with ARS’s Onwulata on resolving problems associated with uncooked corn-soy blend. Onwulata has provided direction for FSA policy on Food for Peace programs and, working with ARS national program leaders, has consulted regularly with USAID and FAS on Title II emergency feeding programs.

Food for Peace provides $2 billion worth of commodity-based meals each year in times of emergency. To ensure that USAID can provide the best products for the Food for Peace programs, Food for Peace initiated a two-year review of the nutritional quality of food aid through a contract with Tufts University Friedman School of Nutrition and Policy in Boston, Mass. A product similar to ICSB, but with a different formulation and micronutrient profile, may fulfill some of the recommendations of that review.

FOOD AID, from pg. 30A humanitarian feeding programs. This led to a key meeting in a series of inperson demonstrations of the new product. ARS attendees included ERRC’s Onwulata, technology transfer coordinator Robert Griesbach and senior national program leader for utilization L. Frank Flora. Representatives of FAS, FSA and USAID also attended, along with representatives from the private and manufacturing sectors.

The group met in Washington, D.C., in June and November 2009. Onwulata and colleagues provided attendees a sample of the instant porridge made from ICSB mixed with water. “Other nutritious products made from ICSB were also served,” Jude said, “and all were liked by attendees.” Onwulata also provided nutritional fact sheets and a primer on industry’s capability to produce the product.

Jude had been working since 2000 on food-quality issues associated with food-aid products. He analyzed spoilage data on a bagged, partially cooked corn-soy blend that had been transported to foreign countries as food aid. He then recognized that particle size variation caused poor distribution of minerals and that the new ICSB could solve the problem.

“When food aid is sent overseas as a gift from the American people, it must be able to withstand a long journey during which storms and other challenges may occur,” said Jude, who is now an FSA domestic programs manager.

“After the aid arrives, local transportation or storage begins, during which temperatures may swing drastically.

Food rations must be of the highest edible quality when they reach those in need, and when they are damaged or go bad, the donor country’s reputation and image can be damaged as well.”

A new, stable, fully cooked product would require a new manufacturing network. This meant that further demonstrations to educate potential manufacturers on mass-producing fully cooked, extruded rations were needed.

“The demonstration to administrators in June 2009 opened the way for further demonstrations to potential manufacturers on how the new extruder equipment and processes are used to produce the new product,” Jude said.

New policies By 2009, development of a new formula and specifications for instant corn-soy blend had gained recognition among key food-aid sponsors. “This was accomplished in part through the

Future site of AgStar Arena, Minnesota State Fairgrounds

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

the Minnesota State Fair is all about Forthesome, people and the food.

Sure, there is a lot of both at the Great Minnesota Get-Together, but there is also a lot to be learned during the Fair’s 12-day run.

Some see a great educational opportunity on the south end of the Fairgrounds, on what could be called “livestock row.”

“People are getting further away from the farm and they need to be educated about agriculture,” said Paul DeBriyn, AgStar Financial Services pres-

ident and CEO. “The State Fair already offers great learning opportunities in the Miracle of Birth Center, the Moo Booth, and all the other such booths that help educate the public. This arena will just help further that education.”

“I will be retired by next year at this time, but you had better believe that I will be back,” Minnesota State Fair President Denny Baker said during the “straw-throwing ceremony on Aug. 27 during the State Fair.

“This arena” DeBriyn speaks of is the AgStar Arena that will be built on the site of the current Judging Arena that was built in the 1960s. The Judging Arena will be demolished this fall with construction of the AgStar Arena beginning soon thereafter to be ready for the 2012 State Fair.

Thom Petersen, Minnesota Farmers Union director of government relations, attended the “strawthrowing” ceremony with his sons, and fondly remembered the days of his showing livestock and horses in the old Judging Arena. “It’s sad to see the old building go, but it’s time for new traditions.”

“Ornamental Water Features for the Midwest” was designed to discuss the nuances of Midwest water features which wouldn’t necessarily be covered in a general “how to build a water feature” publication. “Water features in the Midwest are a little tricky relative to warmer parts of the country,” VanDerZanden said.

This 24-page publication is divided into five chapters — Ecosystems, Types of water features, Design and construction considerations, Selecting water garden plants and Rain gardens — and features more than 50 photographs and illustrations to dramatically bring the information to life.

Creating a sustainable landscape or an outdoor living space that includes a water feature is made easier with expert advice, and that is what Ann Marie VanDerZanden, Iowa State professor of horticulture and Extension landscape horticulture specialist, offers in her two most recent publications “Sustainable Home Landscapes,” co-authored with former horticulture student Josh Schultes; and “Ornamental Water Features for the Midwest,” co-authored by VanDerZanden, Cynthia Haynes, ISU horticulture, and Richard Clayton, ISU aquaculture.

People who desire a low-maintenance landscape that uses limited outside resources, is environmentally friendly and economically feasible and is aesthetically pleasing are looking for a sustainable landscape. The benefits of a sustainable landscape are that it uses fewer inputs (water, chemicals — fertilizer and pesticides, and labor) and creates minimal outputs (green waste), but is still aesthetically pleasing.

In “Sustainable Home Landscapes,” she tells how to design two categories of sustainable landscapes — those that are new construction and ones that

These days, a letter in the mail is something so rare that it makes you really notice. But in your mother’s day, sending letters was common and easier than making a phone call. In the new book “The Mindset List of American History” by Tom McBride and Ron Nief, you’ll read about those and other generational markers.

Sometimes, when you look at the state of the world today, you almost wish for a vacation back in time. But be careful what you ask for. As an 18-yearold in 1898, Great-Great-Grandma had already seen many of her peers leave school before puberty.

We were a nation founded by love for justice as conveyed in God’s Word. people who loved God, and wanted to “do it His way.”

God says to train up a child in the way that he should go, and he will continue on that path. What is the path? How can we know if we are training up children in the proper way, a way that is pleasing to God? Jesus said that it is very simple to live in a manner that is pleasing to God.

The photograph of wife or servants. the winning team in front of the destroyed school is a powerful statement. The girls were unable to attend their school during the 201011 school year. But they patched together a team, practiced where they could, played hard and came out of the season as winners.

The community of Wadena, like their volleyball team, is on a mission. Like the team, the community intends to be a winner. The 39-page book is part of their winning strategy. The book was a project of the Wadena and Minnesota historical societies.

The result of this devotion to God has been very evident over the years. However, it seems that we as a nation have departed dramatically from these ideals.

Our prayer is that it is not too late for our nation.

We like to claim the promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways: then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.

Wadena twisted together, strengthened by tornado

loader dumping a portion of the community center roof into a heap of tornado shredded metal. Other stories are told by a girl who was sucked out of her car and another girl whose house had the entire side ripped off — all two sides. The girl, Moriah Wood, is shown in a photograph with her sister looking out of the second story of the house where there once was a wall.

All of the stories are short, fast-paced page turners that leave the gawker in all of us wanting more. But the takeaway message of this small but marvelous book is not the awesome, horrible destruction of the tornado. The story is really about other powerful forces of nature that were present in Wadena on June 17, 2010, and continue to be so today. The human spirit, combined with good planning, good friends and neighbors, and some resources is equal to an EF4 tornado. With all of those things the community is putting the storm behind them and moving forward, just as their winning volleyball team put their ruined school building behind them. The community of Wadena became twisted together, and stronger, as a result of the tornado.

“Twisted Together” costs $20 and is available at the Wadena County Historical Society at 603 Jefferson Street North, Wadena MN 56482, (218) 631-9079; the Wadena Otter Tail Long Term Recovery Office at 119 Jefferson St. South, Wadena; the Open Book at 114 Jefferson St. South in Wadena; or it can be ordered online at www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/203166.

Proceeds from the sale of the book are going to the Wadena County Historical Society and the long-term Disaster Relief Committee.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Advantages we offer: • We unload directly from the trucks to a floater (Terra Gator) without stockpiling material.

This gives us a more uniform spread with no foliage to plug up the spreader.

• With direct loading there is no stockpile, no wasted lime or mess in your field.

• We use a floater (Terra Gator) to spread so we have less compaction.

• We are equipped to spread variable rate using GPS mapping.

• We service Minnesota and northern Iowa.

Why apply Aglime: • A soil ph level of 5.5 nitrogen efficiency is only 77 percent.

• A soil ph level of 6.0 nitrogen efficiency still is only 89 percent.

• At a soil ph level of 7.0 fertilizer efficiency is 100 percent.
