On Sept. 28, however, U.S. District Court Judge Robert Wilkins declared the CFTC had “misinterpreted” the Dodd-Frank mandate. He “nullified the rule,” noted Suppan, and essentially ordered the CFTC to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of it. Suppan believes the Wilkins’ ruling effectively kills new oversight of high frequency trading and its handin-glove partner in market volatility, unregulated over-the-counter derivative trading.

Letter: Voting Bible values not as simple as it may seem OPINION
and service are what the Gospel teaches me, correct? Well, if that is in fact a fact, I vote Democrat, right?
change immediately, but because activist judges or politicians will substitute their values for traditional values. They will change it. Legal experts on both sides of the marriage debate agree that the issue will impact a host of other issues, ranging from religious liberty, to individual expression of faith, to education and the professions. Those who don’t agree with the new definition of marriage will be treated as bigots under the law and will be punished for their traditional (but no longer accepted) beliefs. It is already happening elsewhere: in places like Boston and Washington, D.C., where Catholic charities have been forced to close their charitable adoption agencies; in Massachusetts where students as young as second grade are taught about gay “marriage”, and courts have ruled that parents have no right to prior notice nor can they opt out; in other places where doctors, lawyers and other professionals risk their state licensures if they act on their
beliefs; where religious groups have lost their state tax exemptions; where wedding photographers have been fined for not providing services for same sex unions; where military chaplains are increasingly being denied freedom of conscience and freedom of speech since the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” In Canada, those who stand up for their traditional beliefs are criminalized since the Civil Marriage Act came into effect. Governments are enforcing samesex “marriage” and lifestyles through coercion. A “yes” vote on the marriage amendment would preserve what we have now, what our grandparents had, and those before them. It does not take away anyone’s existing rights or legal protections. It simply defends marriage from attempts to weaken it or turn it into something else. Helen McNamara Goodhue, Minn.
So this noble notion, voting Bible values, is not as simple as it may seem. In the end the best we can do is to get informed, search our hearts and find the candidates who get closest to that which we hold dear. Kim Henrickson The Land advertising representative Mankato, Minn.
Letter: A ‘yes’ vote preserves what we have now To the Editor: Please vote “yes” on the marriage amendment. Your family — all families — ultimately depend on it. What is at stake are two competing definitions of marriage. Both cannot stand together. One definition would redefine marriage as the union of any two people regardless of gender. The other definition is reflective of the current historically held concept that marriage is the union between one man and one woman. The first definition results in a sterile union at best, while the latter definition recognizes the capability of producing children. Male and female are different for a purpose. It is not discrimination to treat different things differently. Heterosexual marriage is completely and totally different from any type of relationship between persons of the same sex. Same-sex unions undermine procreation, but also the central element of sexual difference and its relation to the unitive good. There is a difference and the difference matters. A “no” vote, or no vote at all, would change our society completely, not because the law itself would
Letter: Vote ‘yes’ for the children
“Where Farm and Family Meet”
To the Editor: There is a saying that a society is measured by how it treats the helpless. How tragic it is, then, that in our own country and state many adults are ignoring the needs and rights of children to satisfy their own desires. By referring to their desires as “rights” (to disguise the selfishness and lend credibility) many other Americans are enticed to jump on the bandwagon. Since 1973, a woman’s “right to privacy” and “right to choose” have resulted in millions of children losing their very right to life. Now in Minnesota the “right to marry” is being placed by some adults before children’s needs. Studies have shown again and again that children do best when raised by both mother and father. The argument that two parents of any sex are better than none at all is not a valid one, as thousands of male/female couples are waiting to adopt. Please vote yes on the marriage amendment to preserve marriage and family as God intended. Sara McNamara Goodhue, Minn.

But how does one do this in reality? I went to www.votebiblevalues.com and read about how terrible abortion is and that marriage is a union between a man and a woman. And that was about it. If I believe these things, that makes me a patriotic American Christian and I should vote Republican, correct? But what about the other values that I have read about in the Good Book and heard about in the songs and in the preaching over the past 50-some years.

To the Editor: Millions of men and women have given their lives for your freedom and mine. Our country is on the verge of bankruptcy. What are you going to do about it? President Abraham Lincoln said, “You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could or should do for themselves.” I say we can all buy our own health insurance and we can all save for our own retirement. President John F. Kennedy said, “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” I say we can be satisfied and take care of ourselves. Albert Einstein said, “We can’t solve problems by using the same thinking we used when we created them.” We created our money problem by spending too much, so let’s stop spending. Everyone should take care of themselves. Denis Waitley said, “There are two primary choices in life, to accept conditions as they exist or accept the responsibility for changing them.” I can’t accept our country going broke. It’s the best form of government ever. It’s the best living conditions in the world ever. President Barack Obama said, “We need a stimulus package.” What better way to stimulate the economy than to tell the employer you no longer need to give benefits to your employees, they will be able to live on their wages. I have written a plan to save this wonderful country (See story to the right.) What should you do? Read this plan. If you disagree then you should call me and we will talk about it. If you agree with this plan, send it to every person in Congress and everyone you know. What are you going to do? Accept conditions as they are and sit on your butt and complain? Ralph L. Radtke Buffalo Lake, Minn.
The salvation of the United States of America To keep a democracy such as the United States government going indefinitely we must follow three simple rules. • The government must have a balanced budget. • Zero inflation. • The government cannot do anything for one person or a group of people that they can’t do for all the people. We must fix rule three and this will help fix rule one. We must fix rule three and rule one and this combined will fix rule two. First, Congress must pass a law to double the value of all benefits that employees get through their jobs and then have them pay income tax at the same rate as their wages. Second, Congress must give up all their benefits. Third, Congress must do away with all programs and regulations that don’t pass the test of rule three. The only thing that stands in the way of this program is the greed of the people. We are all in this together. The healthcare plan for all the people • Every citizen should buy their own healthcare plan. • An employee would get their first paycheck and to get their second paycheck they would have to show proof of health insurance. • If they can pick up a paycheck without proof of health insurance their employer would be held responsible for their healthcare. • No insurance company could make a deal with any health care provider for a cheaper rate. Everyone would pay the same price for their healthcare.

Sheep operation poster child of diversification

Grassfed meats are high in that.” While sheep are the center of their operation, Rathke’s sheep-shearing is another of their enterprises. They had gone to New Zealand a few months after their marriage so Rathke could get in-depth training. He returned to New Zealand in 1988 to complete the training to achieve the highest of the four levels. “I was the first one in America to get the senior level — they call it the gold seal,” he said. “You had to shear 300 sheep a day continuously (for a number of days).” Rathke has achieved world class status. Every two years there is an international competition where two people from each country are allowed to compete. He has represented the United States at international competition for about 20 years. There is a point system (as in race car driving) and he hasn’t
the price he offered on the phone. They sell whole carcasses to co-ops and restaurants, but added a U.S. Department of Agriculture cutting room to their house in 1995, out of which they sold for years. (Slaughtering is done in a neighboring town.) In 2010 they built The Lamb Shoppe, a separate on-farm retail facility where they sell their lamb and eggs from their laying hens, along with grassfed beef (at times their own) and freerange poultry from area growers, and other products. Part of their marketing strategy has been the Minnesota State Fair. This year was the 22nd year for their booth in the Food Building at the Fair. This year they added lamb chop-on-a-stick to a menu that includes gyro, lamb wrap and a lamb burger. They also serve kombucha, a fermented sparkling tea health drink, and a sweet dessert, baklava. While healthy soil, healthy sheep and healthy food had always been an interest, another enterprise started in 2001 when their youngest daughter, who was 4, got very sick and medical doctors could not diagnose the cause.

been beaten for 17 years straight. The competition is in three areas — machine shearing, hand blade shearing and wool handling. Rathke is the only person in the world who has represented his country in all three. Rathke does custom shearing, mostly around Minnesota, and he is also an instructor, teaching as far away as Cornell University in New York. He’s even done a two-week stint in Russia.

THE LAND, OCTOBER 26, 2012
By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent Connie Karstens worked with sheep as a 4-H project. Doug Rathke grew up on a farm with sheep. When they were married in 1986, they had already decided that sheep would be their business enterprise. They just didn’t imagine how varied that enterprise would be. “When I was a kid, dad had sheep and I just kept going,” Rathke said. He kept going, but he changed directions. The new direction came during a trip to New Zealand to a sheep-shearing school. Rathke told how the New Zealand shearers would ask about sheep farming in America, and when he told them they would look at him and say, “You mean to tell us you bring feed to the animals instead of animals to the feed?” “One of the things we learned in New Zealand was that grazing was so much more efficient and better for health,” Karstens said. “It was better for the animal and better for us because we didn’t need to invest in all that equipment to feed the sheep; the sheep could convert the grass to food.” In 1987 they converted to management intensive grazing. They were renting at the time, and purchased their first 40 acres in 1990. Five years later they purchased an adjoining 140 acres. It has been chemical-free since they owned it. Working with Doug Gunnink as a consultant, they have put their efforts and resources into building the soil’s nutrients and establishing pastures. Karstens and Rathke own a 180-acre farm outside of Hutchinson, Minn., that they call Liberty Land and Livestock. “It is basically a grazing operation with 325 Dorset ewes,” Karstens said. “We’ve got a production system in which we lamb three times a year, so we can have fresh lamb for sale year-round.” That’s important because they sell their lamb to natural food co-ops in the Twin Cities, and to restaurants in Minneapolis and Hutchinson. For winter feeding they put up balage. “We bale it up wet,” Rathke said. “All the nutrients are left in it. When you feed dry grass in the winter, all those Omega 3 acids are gone.” “The big difference nutritionally between grass-fed and corn-fed is really the balance of Omega 3 acids to

Many irons in the fire, but ‘we love what we do’ LAMB, from pg. 9A “We didn’t know what else to do so we tried some alternative health,” Karstens said. “We took her to an herbalist and that totally turned her health around.” Karstens wondered how that could work and began to study, eventually becoming an herbalist. She went on to get a master’s degree in Holistic Nutrition. A room in The Lamb Shoppe serves as her office where she consults and offers her herbal remedies to clients. She also teaches classes and leads workshops, having taught nutrition at the college level. She has her own website for this enterprise. As if there wasn’t enough to do, the couple shares their 25 years of experience through consultation and education in sheep and management intensive grazing, and direct marketing. Karstens and Rathke started life
together wanting to raise sheep. Their approach slowly changed and multiplied through the years into the diverse enterprises they have today. On their website they state their vision: “A setting with a peaceful, serene country lifestyle that would nourish our family physically, spiritually and economically.” With an openness to new ideas and plenty of hard work, their vision has become reality — for the most part, anyway. “I don’t know how peaceful things are these days with all of the irons in the fire,” Karstens said, “but we love what we do and feel like we have achieved (and exceeded) our goals.” Their farm website is www. ourfarmtoyou.com.

Sheep shape: A dose of selenium goes a long way ing supplement, scientists at the Agricultural Research Service’s U.S. Sheep Experiment Station near Dubois, Idaho, and at North Dakota State University in Fargo, isolated a selenium-rich coproduct of milling high-selenium wheat and studied its effects on ewes and their lambs. The most common form of selenium supplement is sodium selenite, which is usually added to salt-based mineral mixes fed to grazing livestock. Sodium selenite is inexpensive, but it doesn’t last long in the body, said USSES animal scientist Bret Taylor, so it must be provided frequently to animals living in selenium-deficient regions. “To provide enough of these mineral mixes to a band of sheep — around 1,000 ewes and their lambs — grazing remote areas, it would take a lot of horses to carry the supplement and supplies,” said Greg Lewis, USSES research leader. “That’s because sheep can consume a lot during the week.” In a study by Taylor, the wheat coproduct, which is rich in a different form of selenium — selenomethionine, was included in the diets fed to some ewes during their last 40 to 50 days of pregnancy. The coproduct, derived from high-selenium wheat harvested in South Dakota, was fed at levels providing 10 times
the daily selenium requirement. Ewes passed the supplemental selenium to their fetuses during pregnancy and to their nursing offspring through their milk. Because the coproduct was rich in longer-lasting selenomethionine, the selenium status of these ewes remained adequate six to 10 times longer than that of ewes fed supplemental sodium selenite during pregnancy, Taylor said. Ewes did not need any additional supplements until they returned for lambing the following year. “All of the costs involved with delivering supplements on a frequent basis year round are eliminated with this type of feeding strategy,” Lewis said. “We’re really talking about only one time a year.” Two for the price of one Scientists discovered that the best time to feed ewes a diet rich in selenomethionine is when they are lactating. That’s because lactating animals consume more feed, and thus, will consume more of the product, Taylor said. Furthermore, selenium consumed by the dam will pass to the nursing young through the milk. In one of the experiments, ewes
THE LAND, OCTOBER 26, 2012
In western parts of the United States where some rugged ranges can only be reached by horseback, ranchers often find themselves saddling up weekly to deliver mineral supplements to livestock grazing in nutrient-deficient regions, especially areas scarce in selenium. The routine is not only time-consuming but also costly, and in some leased-land arrangements, such supplementation practices are prohibited. Selenium, a trace mineral and component of important selenoprotein antioxidants, is essential for good health in livestock and humans. If the body cannot form these important antioxidant proteins, it predisposes the animal to sickness and eventually death at a young age. Selenium deficiency in livestock affects more than 35 states and costs sheep, beef and dairy producers an estimated $545 million in losses each year. Lack of adequate selenium in sheep reduces conception rates, increases neonatal mortality, and in some instances, causes white muscle disease — nutritional muscular dystrophy. Lambs that do survive suffer from increased disease, reduced weight gain and impaired performance. Which selenium is best? In search of a more cost-effective and longer last-

milk from their dams,” Taylor said. “Not only did the selenium-rich coproduct from wheat enhance the selenium status of the ewe, it enriched the milk with selenium, which was subsequently passed to the lamb.” Making the most of milk production In another study, colostrum and milk production were measured in ewes that were fed either a diet containing the selenium-rich coproduct or a basal diet supplying selenium requirements. Within each selenium treatment, ewes were fed either 60, 100 or 140 percent of their daily energy and protein requirements throughout pregnancy. At birth, treatments were stopped, lambs were raised separately from their mothers, and ewes were machine-milked twice daily for 20 days. The selenium-coproduct group produced more milk, said Joel Caton, NDSU animal science professor. These ewes also produced more colostrum — a milklike substance produced by the dam right after she gives birth that provides antibodies to protect nursing lambs against bacteria, viruses and other foreign elements. “There was less butterfat in terms of percentage. But because ewes produced so much more colostrum, 540 grams versus 390 grams, they were able to provide their offspring a lot more total grams of butterfat,” Caton said. “The colostrum was more dilute, but because there was so much more of it, there were a lot more nutrients going to that offspring.” Scientists also addressed nutrient restrictions of rangeland sheep. They examined how limited nutrition and high levels of dietary selenium during pregnancy affect growth of adolescent ewes and their lambs. Adding the selenium coproduct feed to diets of pregnant ewes appears to enhance weight gains and body composition, said Allison Meyer, a former NDSU doctoral student who is now an assistant professor of animal science at the University of Wyoming. “The birth weight of lambs was reduced by lownutrition diets. But when ewes were also fed the coproduct diet, their lambs had a greater birth weight,” Meyer said. Load and go Selenium deficiency is a soil issue, especially in the West where many of the soils are a little too acidic, Taylor said. Either selenium is not present or it exists in a form that the plants can’t absorb. “Because the selenium in the vegetation is so low, animals can’t meet their daily selenium requirement,” he said. “They just can’t eat enough plants in 24 hours to get what they really need.” “With the new program, sheep can be fed the selenium-rich coproduct diet before being released to graze selenium-deficient range,” Taylor said. “We can load sheep with selenium from the natural coproduct feed before they go, and they’ll have plenty in their system to meet their selenium needs.” This article was published in the February 2012 issue of Agricultural Research magazine. It was written by ARS information staff member Sandra Avant. This research is part of Food Animal Production, an ARS National Program (No. 101) described online at www.nps.ars.usda.gov. ❖

and The Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic, a congressionally chartered hereditary organization, still meets there. Another unique point is that while a museum building has been added on to the back, the original building — the ante-room you first enter and the meeting hall — are much as they were in 1885. That is due to forward-looking members. “The reason we still have this G.A.R. Hall is that members were smart enough to deed it to the city,” said Cheryl Almgren, specialist in Genealogies and Research. “We’re not rich enough to keep this going (by ourselves),” she said, speaking of the Meeker County Historical Society that operates the Hall and Museum. In a sense the G.A.R. Hall is a community treasure, with the community assisting in its construction, the city on its completion taking ownership and maintaining the building, and Meeker County donating to the operating costs. That’s the way the Post wanted it. Part of the agreement in deeding it to the city was that the building be kept open to the public. Except for displays set up around the perimeter, little has changed since the last G.A.R. meeting in the 1930s. Rows of gray-painted chairs, each one donated by a member, sit in the middle of the meet-

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent The American Civil War ended in April 1865, but the war never fully ended for those who served in the military. The memories of what they went through, the friendship of their comrades, and for some their life-changing injuries would always be a part of them. Veterans organizations sprang up to help the men keep in contact, and to aid the injured as well as the widows and families of those who had been killed. The organization that lasted the longest — until the era of the Civil War veteran passed — was the Grand Army of the Republic. The G.A.R. was organized in Decatur, Ill., in 1866. Membership was limited to honorably discharged veterans who had served during the four years of the Civil War. As with veterans’ groups today, a local organization was called a “Post” and assigned a number. They could take the name of a deceased veteran. Minnesota had its share of veterans. Some had served in the Eastern theater around Virginia and Pennsylvania. Many had been in the Western theater from Tennessee and Georgia to west of the Mississippi. Others never left the area, serving in Minnesota and the Dakota Territory in the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862. Many more out-of-state veterans settled in Minnesota following the war, taking land in exchange for their service to the country. Frank Daggett was one of those veterans. A Vermont native, he had served in both a Vermont regiment and the 6th Minnesota Regiment before he led two AfricanAmerican artillery regiments. Daggett came to Minnesota as a journalist, and helped get the G.A.R. started in Minnesota. In 1872 he moved to the threeyear-old town of Litchfield and started a newspaper. The following year he was organizing a G.A.R. Post. “It never really got going,” said James Milan, executive director of the Meeker County Historical Society. “He had 20 to 30 people. He died around 1876-77 (at the age of 39). The last thing that the Litchfield G.A.R. did was bury Frank Daggett and then they disbanded.” In 1883 there was another attempt to start a Post in Litchfield and this time it took hold. “It was 20 years after the war and there was much more interest,” Milan said. Daggett’s earlier effort was not forgotten. The Post was named Frank Daggett Post No. 35. None of the members were Litchfield natives, because the town was not founded until 1869. The 300 veterans that were members through the years had served with regiments from 12 states in addition to Minnesota. (An accompanying article tells the experience of some.) The Post remained in existence for over 50 years. The last member died in the late 1930s. But in some ways the Post still lives on through the building it erected. In 1885 a structure, designed by a member to look like a fortress, was erected by the members with aid from the community. Its uniqueness is that it is one of the few halls in the United States whose purpose has never changed. It has always been a G.A.R. Hall,

MUSEUM, from pg. 13A ing room. Hanging overhead is a 16-globe kerosene (now electrified) chandelier. In front of the chairs is the altar, a large four-sided podium from which the G.A.R. meetings were conducted. Some of the members had served in Minnesota in the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862. The first deaths in that war were settlers who lived near Acton in Meeker County. Wood from their cabin was used to construct the altar and for the gavel used in meetings. While all of that is original, the perimeter displays fill out the history. There is a model of the Acton cabin, built from its own wood, and a piece of tree trunk that supposedly was used for target competition just before the settlers were killed. Another display features an old streetlamp and photos of the Albert Van Spence family. Spence was the only African-American member of the Post. He escaped from slavery and fought for the North and became a friend of Daggett, though he didn’t serve under him. He was Litchfield’s lamplighter. On the north wall hang photos of 53 of the members, donated by the veterans or their families. There is a composite photo of 98 charter members plus Frank Daggett that were taken by Clark Angell, Meeker County’s pioneer
photographer and a Post member. The ante-room has displays of artillery shells, ammunition, firearms, swords and uniforms, much of it donated by the Post members. Two Howitzer Mountain Cannons that were used in the Civil War (and sat on concrete pillars in front of the building until they realized how valuable they were) are mounted on replica carriages. The G.A.R. Hall, Frank Daggett Post No. 35 in Litchfield is a destination that those interested in Civil War history will want on their list. The boardwalk was long ago replaced by a concrete sidewalk, but once you step through the door into the ante room, and walk through into the meeting room, you step back in time. The wooden floor and stage, the great chandelier, the gray spindle-back chairs, the altar and gavel — all is just as it was when Post No. 35 met here. With 53 veterans gazing at you from the wall, you can even sense that you are mingling with the Grand Army of the Republic who 150 years ago fought to save the Union. Sit down on a gray chair, feel a part of history — and be grateful. The Hall is at 308 North Marshall in Litchfield, just east of Central Park downtown. Hours are Noon to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday. Entrance donations are appreciated. Their website is garminnesota.org. ❖

THE LAND, OCTOBER 26, 2012
By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent One hundred fifty years ago the Eastern theater of the Civil War saw major action. With the Confederate victory at the Second Battle of Bull Run on Aug. 29-30, General Robert E. Lee decided on a northern invasion. That led to the “bloodiest day in American history,” the Battle of Antietam in Maryland on Sept. 17, 1862. Twenty-three years later, men who fought on that day would have been sitting in the new G.A.R. Hall in Litchfield, sharing their experience with other members. And what experiences they must have had. Alonzo Olmstead Alonzo Olmstead was in the 27th Indiana Regiment, part of the XII Corps that fought for control of the Cornfield, a 400-yard wide field that changed hands at least 15 times during the battle and was described by one author as “broken and blood-splattered stalks framing hundreds upon hundreds of shattered men.” Of the 440 men in Olmstead’s regiment, 18 were killed and 191 wounded. Olmstead lived to tell about it, and he was the last living Civil War veteran in Meeker County. George Arnold Also at Antietam was George Arnold, a member of the 1st Minnesota Regiment. He was with the regiment from the beginning and fought in 13 major battles, surviving all unscathed until the 1st Minnesota made its valiant charge against an advancing force of Confederates on the second day of Gettysburg. During that charge he was wounded twice in the shoulder and once in the leg. Andrew J. Anderson Another Antietam veteran was Andrew J. Anderson who was in the 5th Wisconsin and whose Litchfield home is now Anderson Gardens on Lake Ripley. Despite the combined losses of the two armies of 3,620 killed and 17,365 wounded, the Battle of Antietam was a tactical stalemate. However, since Lee withdrew his forces and returned south, it became a strategic victory for the Union, enough of a victory for President Lincoln to justify issuing his Emancipation Proclamation freeing slaves in territories that were in rebellion against the Union. (He held off while they were losing so it didn’t look like an act of desperation.) Antietam was only one experience the Civil War veterans in the Litchfield G.A.R. could share. They came from many units and served many places. If they reminisced at their meetings, imagine the stories they could have told. Richard Fourre Richard Fourre joined one of the Civil War’s most famous units. When he enlisted in 1864 in the 7th Wisconsin Infantry they, along with the 2nd Wisconsin, 6th Wisconsin and 19th Indiana, were known as the Black Hat Brigade. Named for their headgear, they had also earned the sobriquet “The Iron Brigade” for their fearless fighting, and when the Confederates saw the Black Hats they knew how tough the fight would be. Fourre was wounded during General Grant’s Overland Campaign in Virginia (the battles of The Wilderness, Spotsylvania and Cold Harbor) that led to the siege of Richmond. James Bacon James Bacon had also fought in the east as part of the 2nd Maine Infantry. At the First Battle of Bull Run, the Federal retreat had turned into a rout and
15 A
Greatest Civil War killer not combat, but disease VETERANS, from pg. 15A could have ended in total disaster had not some units fought a rearguard action. The 1st Minnesota was one of those units, and Bacon’s 2nd Maine was the last unit to leave the field that day. He served with them for two years until being wounded at Second Bull Run. He was a dentist and local poet in Litchfield.
F.V. DeCoster and Reuben Wheeler Many of the men had fought in the Western theater. A number of them took part in the Siege of Vicksburg, a Mississippi River town that finally fell on July 4, 1863, the day after the victory at Gettysburg. F.V. DeCoster and Reuben Wheeler were there as part of the 4th Minnesota Infantry. They fought in a number of battles leading up to the siege, and later were part of General William T. Sherman’s March to the Sea.

August T. Koerner August T. Koerner was well-traveled. Born in Germany (as many of the Union soldiers were), his family had settled in Indiana. He was at Vicksburg in the 26th Indiana Infantry and later wounded in a battle at Prairie Grove, Mo. Following the war he lived in Illinois and then moved to Minnesota, where he eventually served three terms as state treasurer. Valentine Herr Valentine Herr rode with Wilder’s Lightning Brigade, a mounted regiment equipped with the most advanced firearm available, the Spencer sevenshot repeating rifle. They fought at Chattanooga, Chickamauga and the Atlanta campaign. Before even seeing combat, his 98th Illinois Infantry had eight men killed and 75 injured in a train wreck on the way to their first assignment. Abner Marshall, Nick Eberts and Albert Foster The greatest killer in the Civil War was not combat, but disease. Abner Marshall enlisted in the 2nd Minnesota Cavalry. They served in Minnesota and the Dakota Territory, losing four men in combat and 59 from disease. Nick Eberts’ 145th Indiana Regiment saw no combat, but lost 70 men to disease. Albert Foster rode in the 22nd New York Cavalry under General Philip Sheridan. They fought in Sheridan’s Shenandoah Valley Campaign and Grant’s Overland Campaign and lost 23 men in combat, and another 184 to disease. Henry Ames and Frank Bissell There were also sailors in the Litchfield G.A.R. Post. Henry Ames served on the Lancaster, flagship of the Pacific Squadron cruising the coast of California, Mexico, Central and South America to protect American commerce. Frank Bissell served on the gunboat Lexington. One of the first gunboats completed, the Lexington was a remodeled side-wheel steamship that had been shored up to hold heavy cannon and sheathed with five-inch-thick timber. From the Tennessee River they had bombarded Confederate troops at the Battle of Shiloh, and had sailed on the Mississippi and up the Red River in Texas. Carl Weller, Virgil Harris and Henry Mead Those are only a small portion of the 300 men who had stories to tell. Carl Weller could have told how his 28th Wisconsin Regiment was part of 3,500 troops that held 15,600 Confederates at bay in the Battle of Helena, Mo., on July 4, 1863, a victory overshadowed by the victories at Gettysburg and Vicksburg. If anyone sought bragging rights, it might have been Virgil Harris, whose 111th Ohio Infantry served in 28 battles. That is until he met Henry Mead, whose 106th New York Infantry participated in 30 battles. Edward Murphy And I wonder what Edward Murphy would have told, having served as a spy for the Union Army, and the times he was arrested on suspicion and had narrow escapes. The G.A.R. Hall in Litchfield is not just an historic building. It has a life of its own. The walls are saturated with countless stories of the men who served in the Civil War. If only those walls would start talking. ❖

THE LAND, OCTOBER 26, 2012
By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Jerry and Lori Beckel of Madison Lake, Minn., used to be dairy farmers. In fact, dairying had been an 80-year tradition for three generations on the Beckel farm. But no longer. They recently sold off their 40-cow herd. And why? Like many a former dairy farmer, Jerry Beckel said, “age more than anything. At the end it was my brother, my wife and I that kept the dairying going. Lori and I had milked cows ever since we married and that’s 40-plus years.” Their herd peaked at 85 cows but started downsizing gradually when labor started becoming a factor. There was an emotional issue to this transition. For me it was much “Yes, very definitely. easier because it These cows become tremendously reduced like part of your fammy work load. ily. When a cow became sick, that hurt — Lori Beckel, on getting almost like a pain in out of the dairy industry your own family. You get to know each animal. When we sold off our cows it was much like losing a member of your family,” Jerry said when interviewed at the Dick Hagen Sept. 20 retirement event for Ron Eustice, long-time Lori and Jerry Beckel recently sold off their 40-cow dairy herd, after 40-plus years in the back-breakexecutive director of the Minnesota Beef Council.

Plus we still have ❖ but now’s not the best time economically to go out goodbye to his cows? “I’m still healing but it’s going some show cattle and can’t part with those.” and buy purebred stock. Right now I could probably get back into the dairy business at less cost than getting into the beef industry.” For Lori, getting out of dairying wasn’t an emotional deal. “For me it was much easier because it tremendously reduced my work load. Pure and simple as I get older it’s harder to do what I used to do but I still enjoy driving tractor and helping with the field work.” What are her thoughts about her husband potentially getting into the beef business? “Well, it’s certainly not a 24/7 commitment like dairy cows.” As an MBC board member she has some concerns about less meat in school lunch programs. “We want good nutrition and healthy foods for the kids. But this has to be tasty food that kids enjoy too and I think this is where meat has an important role,” she said. Jerry said, “we need to keep looking at school menus. We’re aware of red meat being challenged in school lunch programs so I think the Beef Council needs to stay on the forefront on that issue.” The Beckel family includes two sons and two daughters — Brian, Andy, Collette and Linnea. Each is now involved in work that keeps them close to farming. One son, for example, is in the colustrum Nerstrand, MN Lake Crystal, MN Mountain Lake, MN milk management business at Bloomer, Wis. A daughter is involved in organic farming near Blooming Prairie. Another daughter is a registered nurse with husband who is a retired dairy farmer at Cresco, Iowa, who now feeds cattle. The other son Granite Falls, MN Glencoe, MN Janesville, MN Grand Meadow, MN works for Cargill in their wheat marketing division

Celebrate the autumn season with flavorful fillings The autumn season is famous for stuffing — whether we’re fluffing our nest in anticipation of winter or filling our bellies with a harvest of savory flavors. Beef isn’t typically associated with stuffing, but Certified Angus Beef brand Chef Michael Ollier has created several rich and tasty beef dishes that will have you stuffing steak — and yourself — in no time. Flank Steak Roulade features an economical cut spread with a mixture of walnuts, parmesan cheese, garlic and herbs, sun-dried tomatoes and arugula. It’s then rolled and tied with butcher twine before roasting in the oven. Roulade makes for an elegant presentation and the flavors of this roasted beef are sure to wow the taste buds of everyone at your table. Yes, they’ll stuff themselves Flank Steak Roulade with seconds. Hit harvest meals out of the park with Short Rib Stuffed Squash. Savory and satisfying, it’s the ideal solution for pot roast leftovers. Just add vegetables and rice to beef, then stuff into seasonal acorn squash. Garam masala curry gives the dish a distinctly pleasing flavor. Garam Masala is a Northern Indian-style curry powder based not on turmeric — as are other curry powders, but on a mixture of cardamom, coriander and black pepper. Add Italian flair to any autumn meal with Stuffed Manicotti and Red Pepper Sauce. A blend of parmesan, Asiago and mozzarella cheeses add just the right balance to this beefy, pepper- and tomatobased dish. ■ Flank Steak Roulade 2 to 2 1/2 pound Certified Angus Beef flank steak 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar 8 ounces chopped walnuts, about 1 3/4 cups 5 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

Garden woes weren’t completely due to sheep, but ... Our garden was in recovery mode. That’s because it was way past rescuing by the time it was all said and done ... and this wasn’t the first time it had happened. Mine was a fairly simple dream, really. Move to the farm and plant a little garden. John Denver used to sing about the fact that there are, “... only two things in life that money can’t buy — and that’s true love and home-grown tomatoes.”
Things looked great until I got up one morning and noticed that something had gotten into the flower planters overnight and dug a bunch of flowers out. OK — so this year the June winds don’t get all the blame. I cussed some, and cursed this animal — whatever it was. Then I rearranged and replanted as best I could.
Turns out that my husband, who had gotten up before I had, saw that it had TABLE TALK been the rams that had gotten out during By Karen Schwaller the night. The tell-tale signs were left on I already had the true love, so the only the sidewalk and in front of the house — thing just out of grasp was that coveted and he scooped them away before I got up. home-grown tomato. The rams were already back in their yard by then, looking as if they wondered what all the fuss was I had a little more time to spend on our garden about. this year, and it showed in the fact that the neighbors no longer drove by and asked why we hadn’t When I got up the following morning, I saw vegetabaled that section of our yard yet.

More flowers were rooted out of the planters and the irises and day lilies had been chewed down to half I planted and watered and hoed and waited for their height. (I had a day at work like that fairly Mother Nature to do her thing. Against my better recently — I would have been the flowers in that scejudgment, I planted flowers around the house in nario.) When I checked out the garden, my eyes were May, knowing that the June winds out here in the country do nothing but wreak havoc on them, caus- met with blossoming green beans that were no longer; carrots that had been eaten off, a pepper ing them to droop their heads for the remainder of plant that had been seriously wounded, and a tomato the summer. plant that looked naked. But this year, I took heart and thought I’d get in A flower planter near the garden showed that half the groove for once and plant the garden and flowof the flowers were gone (the ones we paid for, of ers when the rest of the world did it.
course — not any that we had transplanted). As I turned around, I saw that the leaves on a small tree near the house had been chewed completely off of the bottom half of the tree, and a branch was broken. There were muddy rub marks on the house near one of the flower planters. Those dang sheep. Our (for once) nice garden looked like the ruins of a post-war city — simply being used for a sheep and goat forage area. A little more concerted investigative work this time resulted in my husband finding the place along the fence line where they were getting out. We licked our wounds and rallied in the fact that it wasn’t the family crop that had been rooted out and chewed down to nothing. And over caffeine and tissues, I came to grips with the fact that crop insurance probably wouldn’t be a factor here. I pulled myself together and carried on. The third day brought proof that our dog had something to do with all the butchery that had gone on around there. We caught him starting to dig in one of the planters that evening — and after we shooed him away from there, our own investigation produced a rack of sheep ribs that he had buried in that planter on the night it had been ripped up so badly, complete with all the things that are on dead animal carcasses. Yeesh. It was ghastly. So following a brief period of mourning and cussing, the missing parts of the garden were replanted, and while having hope was not impossible, it was a little more cautiously distributed. As I stood watering what was left of the day lilies, I saw that the one that had been chewed almost totally off with the exception of a single stem — now had a blossom on it. The plant had the tenacity to not die (with only one tall stem sticking up out of that mess), and even had the guts to bloom. It seemed pretty poetic as I thought about how we all have times in our lives when we feel reduced to ruins, but that beauty can rise from those ruins. That adversity can sometimes give us the strength to shine in spite of those who work to wear us down. These days, I’m the one now in recovery mode. And I think I’m also going to plan a sheep barbecue sometime in the near future.

Halloween is around the corner, and while we are enjoying the season with treats, we would like our pets to share the joy too. Pet treats are a great option when you want to treat your wellbehaved little kitty or doggy with a sweet surprise. However, with a plethora of options for pet treats, the decision-making can be scary for pet owners. There are several questions to be answered: Do all vegetables and fruits make good pet treats? Should children be allowed to share their candies and chocolates with their pets? What would be safe and healthy pet treats? And the fundamental question: Are pet treats a good idea? Don’t worry. “Giving your pet treats is a great way of training them and it can also strengthen the human-animal bond between you and your pet,” said

Treats are OK for pets; decide and offer wisely
Papers graded and a hundred pages into the novel, I heard a faint whine above the wind that had built up over the last several hours. Since a flock of turkeys usually announces its approach with noisy scratching and foraging in the dry leaves, I assumed I had heard a tree limb creaking. Carefully, I peeked over the partially opened window and was eyeball-to-eyeball with several young turkey scrutinizing the blind from only 10 feet away. Ever so slowly, I ducked down and exchanged the novel for the shotgun, eased it into shooting position and waited for the birds to wander into my shooting lane. After several seconds without seeing anything, I turned and peered through the small sliver of an opening I had left in the zippered back window of the blind. Eight yards away, a dozen turkeys milled nervously. I eased the gun barrel into the opening and searched for a long beard in the mix. Nothing but a hen and her poults. When a jake stepped clear from brothers and sisters, I put the bead on his neck and pulled the trigger. Birds scattered in all directions, some running, some flying as they melted into the woods, but the jake lay flopping in the leaves. It would have been a long day. The book was lousy.

Best to stick with treats meant for animals TREATS, from pg. 25A M.A. Crist, clinical assistant professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences. Her first recommendation is to opt for commercially available pet treats rather than human treats. But are pet treats manufactured for all kinds of pets? “In the pet food industry, one can find a commercial pet treat for just about any companion pet that they may own,” Crist said. The advantage of commercially manufactured pet foods is that they are designed to complement the pet’s regular diet. “(They) may even contain nutritional benefits such as improved digestive health or dental health,” Crist said.
If you prefer homemade pet treats, Crist recommends trying the now popular pet food bakeries which make safe and pet-friendly food. “The treats come in a variety of fun flavors, shapes and sizes, and are usually associated with the holiday seasons or special occasions such as a birthday.” she said. More than what to give as treats for pets, a big worry is what not to give. Crist lists food that should never be given to pets. Onions are a big no since they can harm the red blood cells and may cause serious illnesses, even death. Raisins and grapes can also cause severe health issues in pets and should be avoided. Some pets experience gastrointestinal upsets with milk and milk-based products.
<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>
TOPPERS PLUS
“Bread dough is another food that most dog owners do not realize is harmful to dogs,” Crist said. “The yeast inside bread dough will expand in the dog’s stomach leading to a very serious veterinary emergency.” Macadamia nuts can be harmful to dogs. Hypothermia, vomiting, tremors, loss of coordination, dizziness and hyperthermia are some of the symptoms seen in the affected dogs. Avocados — not just the fruit but also the leaves, fruit, seeds and bark — can be harmful to dogs by inducing diarrhea and vomiting. Some birds and rodents can be sensitive to avocados, too, Crist said. Salt in large quantities can be harmful to pets by causing excess thirst and urination. Some pets can even experience sodium poisoning. What about the flavors of the season, candy and chocolate? One main substance to avoid giving pets is Xylitol — a common sweetener in many everyday products such as toothpaste, candy, gum and baked goods. “Toxic ingestion (of Xylitol) can cause insulin release which can lead to liver failure,” Crist said. Chocolate is a universal favorite for
humans and animals alike. But it comes with warnings, too. Caffeine and theobromine are two ingredients in chocolate that may be harmful to animals. How do we know how much of these chemicals are in chocolates? “A good rule of thumb is that the darker the chocolate, the more harmful it is to the pet.” So what are the general rules for feeding treats to pets? Crist’s first rule when trying a new treat: “Introduce the new treat slowly and in small amounts,” she said. High-calorie treats for pets may lead to obesity. “It is advisable to always reduce the pet’s main meal by an equivalent caloric amount according to the feeding guides,” Crist said. Another tip: feed according to age requirements recommended on the label. Pet Talk is a service of the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, Texas A&M University.

Tree Doctor app can help homeowners diagnose problems
THE LAND, OCTOBER 26, 2012
Purdue University scientists aren’t quite making house calls, but a new iPhone app can put their knowledge about tree disorders in the palm of anyone’s hand. The Purdue Tree Doctor app can help homeowners, landscapers, master gardeners, nurseries, arborists and others quickly diagnose problems with their trees. The app is the first for sale through The Education Store, Purdue Extension’s resource for educational materials. “We’re Extension specialists, and our job is to give good information to people who need it,” said Cliff Sadof, a professor of entomology and one of the specialists who developed the app. “If we want people to use
our information, we need to give it to them in media they use. Having an app that we can update regularly means people have the most up-to-date information at their fingertips.” The app allows users to search by type of tree, insect or disease depending on what they’re seeing. It covers more than 175 plant disorders found on most flowering, shade and conifer trees planted in the Midwest and North Atlantic regions of the United States. The app uses Janna Beckerman and Sadof’s library of 1,100 high-resolution photos to direct users to a correct diagnosis in just a few short steps.
Once an issue is diagnosed, the app provides possible management options, beginning with cultural practices that prevent or at least minimize the problem, effective biological controls and followed by a list of pesticides that can be useful when needed. The app also will provide updates on invasive pests as they become known. Sadof and Beckerman said that the information they provided was reviewed by peers to ensure it is accurate, and does not recommend name-brand chemicals or products to treat tree problems. The app costs $1.99 and is available at The Education Store, www.the-education-store.com ❖

Fall garden chores — tips for storing veggies, and more Harvest vegetables and store them properly It is important to store only fresh, sound produce that is free from cracks, cuts, bruises or insect damage. Blemished produce is prone to invasion by decay causing organisms resulting in limited storage capacities. There are three combinations of long-term storage options. The first is cool and dry (50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit and 60-percent humidity). Basements are generally cool and dry.
If possible, store fruits and vegetables separately to maintain quality. Produce such as apples give off large amounts of ethylene gas and can damage vegetables. Apples also can absorb odors such as potatoes and turnips resulting in muddy flavors. Apples keep best between 30 and 32 F with high humidity. Storage life decreases with slight increases in temperatures. Store apples in perforated plastic bags or boxes lined with plastic to
Potatoes can be stored close to 40 F. Warmer temperatures will promote sprouting and cooler temperatures will result in a sweeter flavor. Keep potatoes in total darkness as exposure to light causes them to turn green which produces a bitter taste. Remove any green parts before cooking. Root vegetables like carrots, turnips and rutabagas should be stored in a cool moist location between 32 and 40 F in plastic perforated bags. Bags without air holes create conditions that are too humid. Winter squash and pumpkins require different conditions to store over the winter months. Dry conditions and temperatures between 50 and 55 degrees are appropriate for winter squash. They should be stored on shelves or boards; kept off of concrete or soil floors, and should not be touching each other. No matter how you are keeping vegetables, it is important to regularly inspect product and remove any that are beginning to spoil as this can spread rapidly to nearby stored produce. Log on to www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/horticulture/D G1424.html for more information on proper harvest and storage of vegetables. Take care of weeds; do not let them go to seed
Remove or treat any perennial weeds, and remove all annual weed plant material to eliminate any possible seed sources that could generate in the following spring. It is also important to remove any plant material from the garden that was infected by a fungus, bacteria or insects. The possibility for these insects and diseases to overwinter in the soil is probable, so removing them from the garden, and removing them early, can help to avoid headaches next year. Dispose of infected plant material, and do not compost it. Take notes on your garden What worked and what didn’t? (Keep in mind that 2012 was an abnormal year as far as limited rainfall and high temperatures.) Some things to consider would be: Do you need to adjust the number of vegetable plants planted for next year? Was plant spacing appropriate for the plants selected? And, finally, document where vegetables were planted this year so that you can be sure to rotate crops appropriately next year. Now relax; 2013 will be a whole new year of possibilities, and inevitably some challenges, too.

Autumn perfect time for certain lawn care tasks
Fall is a busy time for gardeners. With so much to do, lawn care is sometimes neglected. However, proper lawn care in fall helps ensure an attractive, healthy lawn next season. Important fall lawn care practices include mowing, fertilizing, controlling broadleaf weeds and raking. Do I need to remove the leaves on my lawn? Turfgrass plants use light, water and nutrients to manufacture food. In fall, lawn areas beneath large trees are often completely covered with leaves. The leaf debris prevents the turfgrass plants from manufacturing and storing food prior to winter. Leaves also may mat down and smother the grass over winter. A thick layer of leaves (little or no grass is visible) will need to be raked up and removed. A small amount of leaves can be chopped up with a mulching mower. Small quantities of finely shredded leaves will filter down into the grass canopy rather than rest on the grass surface. How long should I continue to mow the lawn? Continue to mow the lawn until the grass stops growing in fall. The foliage of cool-season grasses, such as Kentucky bluegrass, stops growing when daytime high temperatures are consistently below 50 F. In Iowa, bluegrass usually stops growing in late-October or early November. Once the foliage stops growing, the lawn mower can be put away for the winter. How late can I apply a broadleaf herbicide to my lawn? Fall is the best time to control perennial broadleaf weeds (dandelion, plantain, clover, etc.) in the lawn with a broadleaf herbicide. Applications can be made from mid-September to early November in Iowa. Effective broadleaf herbicides include 2,4-D, MCPP, MCPA, dicamba, triclopyr and others. The most effective broadleaf herbicide products contain a mixture of two or three herbicides, as no single compound will control all broadleaf weeds. Broadleaf herbicides can be applied as liquids or granules. Before applying any herbicide, carefully read and follow label directions. When should I fertilize the lawn in the fall? Fertilizer applications can be made in mid-September and late-October or early November. Mid-September fertilization promotes a moderate rate of shoot growth and helps to thicken the turf. An application of fertilizer in late-October or early November (when the turfgrass foliage has stopped growing) promotes root growth and early green-up next spring. Apply 1 pound of actual nitrogen per 1,000 square feet in midSeptember and late-October or early November. What is the best way to store an opened bag of lawn fertilizer? Store lawn and garden fertilizers in their original bags or containers so you will know the content and analysis of the product next season. Store granular fertilizers in a protected location where they will remain dry. Granular products absorb moisture from the air, causing them to cake up like cement. An See LAWN, pg. 31A
What did you say? Dealing with hearing loss in loved ones • Look into buying an assisted hearing dog that responds to certain noises. • Check out hearing aids. Ask if you can buy one on a 30-day trial period. • Ask about assisted hearing devices before you buy a television.

Do you find the need to repeat yourself more often than not to the person you are caring for? Does your talking level closely resemble your yelling level just so your care recipient can hear you? Are you speaking so slowly that you end up losing your train of thought? It is possible that the person you are caring for is one of the 28 million Americans suffering from hearing loss. Hearing loss is a natural sign of aging due to a change in the structure of the ear. After age 65, one out of three Americans at least partially loses their hearing. However, it is not only a result of the aging process. There are other causes of hearing loss that include ... • Build-up of earwax • Chronic middle or inner ear infections • Medical conditions like diabetes or a brain tumor • High blood pressure • Exposure to excessive noise like heavy machinery • A blood clot in the nerves of the ear • Tinnitus (a common syndrome indicated by a ringing sensation in the ear) • Meniere’s disease (excess fluid in canals of the inner ear) Before deciding upon the kind of treatment the person you are caring for should receive, their doctor should determine the cause of their hearing loss. As a caregiver, you can provide some helpful hearing care hints to your care recipient to help them communicate more easily. They include ... • Look at people when they are talking to you. • Begin relying on your sense of sight by installing a flashing bulb on doorbells, telephones and fire alarms. • Limit background noise during conversations. • Sit in the front row during church, school or in an auditorium.

Mobility and exercise: No excuses not to start Whether you’re the caregiver for a loved one who has a mobility issue due to a stroke, or because of spinal cord injury, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, or something else, or if you yourself have a mobility issue, the fact is, you still need to keep your weight at a healthy standard. Just as it is for everyone, the best way to manage weight, regardless of physical limitations or barriers, is with a combination of diet and exercise. Weight management becomes even more important when there’s some sort of mobility issue, because the extra weight for a person with mobility challenges is likely to be even more dangerous and detrimental to their overall health and well-being. A survey of 145,000 people with varying forms of mobility challenges was conducted by Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and it concluded that “disabling conditions are linked with an increased risk of obesity.” In fact, about 25 percent of those individuals who do have problems with mobility were found to be obese, while only 15 percent of those who do not have a mobility problem were struggling with obesity as an issue. The highest risk of obesity was found among those with lower limb mobility problems, like difficulty in walking and climbing stairs. Most of those in this survey group had received little, if any, advice on exercising from their physicians. This becomes a real concern, since exercise is vital for consistent and proper weight control. Another survey showed that people with mobility problems were as likely to want to try and lose weight as anyone else, so it’s important that doctors encourage and inform them of the kind of exercise that’s appropriate for their particular situation.

they are interested in doing. There are physical activities and sports that anyone with mobility issues can become a part of and enjoy, like adaptive aerobics, aquatic exercise (gives support to the entire body and is gentle on the joints), floor yoga, wheelchair workouts, and sports like basketball, baseball, skiing and more. When your loved one becomes committed to exercise, along with eating a sensible diet, they’ll be playing a major role in helping to prevent chronic illness, further disability and premature death. Some of the benefits of increased activity are: increased efficiency of heart and lungs; reduced cholesterol levels; increased muscle strength; reduced blood pressure; reduced risk of major illnesses such as diabetes and heart disease; weight loss; more energy; less stress; improved quality of sleep; improved ability to cope with stress; increased mental acuity; toned muscles; improved posture; improved self-image; increased opportunities to make new friends; increased opportunities to share an activity with friends or family members; increased productivity; increased physical capabilities; less frequent injuries; and improved immunity to minor illnesses. When working along with your loved one and the exercise program they have chosen, you can help them remain consistent with their goal by making sure they: have chosen an activity they enjoy; have a program tailored to their own fitness level; set realistic goals; give their body a chance to adjust to the new routine; don’t get discouraged if they don’t see immediate results; don’t give up if they miss a day; try to get back on track the next day or when they can; find an exercise partner for motivation and socialization (this doesn’t have to be the caregiver, but perhaps someone in the same program); don’t forget to create some “rest days” into their exercise schedule. Most importantly, before starting any exercise program, make sure that your loved one gets the OK from their physician. As a caregiver, it’s also important to make sure that your loved is listening to their body, especially if they begin to experience difficulty breathing, faintness or prolonged weakness during or after exercise. These could be warning signs of a serious complication developing, so it’s best that they stop the exercise program until they see their physician regarding these or any other unusual symptoms. Simply put, exercise is one of the best gifts of encouragement a caregiver could share with their loved one, and it’s something that everyone will enjoy and benefit from, no matter what the level of mobility. Just a simple workout routine will lead to a happier, healthier outlook on life, with a renewed sense of optimism and hope, no matter what the challenges are that await us!

Grain Angles Balance risk and opportunity
So far October has been positive for livestock prices. Both cattle and hogs have managed to advance to higher levels than at the beginning of the month. Can this trend continue into November would be the only question at this juncture. Cattle have been erratic but have managed to push higher with the help of improving beef cutouts and strong futures buying by the commodity funds. The packers have been relentless in trying to push the cutout prices higher to maintain their positive margins. This coupled with manJOE TEALE aged money rolling back into the Broker futures contracts aided in the pos- Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. itive gains in the cash trade and the overall attitude of the cattle market. On Oct. 19, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released the Monthly Cattle on Feed Report with these results as compared to a year ago: on-feed, 97 percent; placed on-feed, 81 percent; and marketed, 88 percent. The report was seen as friendly particularly to the spring months as placements were below expectations. In the near-term the cattle market may struggle if the boxed beef movement does not pick up. The problem being that the beef cutouts are once again above $190 per hundredweight basis choice and each time it has crossed this level the volume of trade in the beef has declined. Also with cattle weights at record high levels, the beef production has not been decreased as greatly as it normally would with the
As we wrap up harvest and prepare for winter, we look back on an amazing year in the markets. Clearly, there was no lack of drama and more than enough volatility to cause sleepless nights. Everywhere that we look, we see risk and opportunity. It seems to be human nature to focus on one of these sets of circumstances more than the other. If we are bullish, we tend to focus on the opportunities. While, if we are bearish, the risks are all that we can see. It takes a great deal of discipline to maintain a healthy balance in this current market environment. TOM NEHER Risk is defined as the “potential AgStar VP & Team Leader that a chosen action or activity — Grain Industry (including the choice of inaction) Rochester, Minn. will lead to a loss (an undesirable outcome).” The last several years the grain markets have rewarded those who accepted the risk of “inaction.” Those who did nothing in the way of proactive, pre-harvest marketing and simply held on to their grain un-priced until after harvest were rewarded with higher prices. This is unusual market behavior and there is little historical evidence to support this as a profitable, ongoing practice. The power of regret (and anticipation of regret) can play a significant part in decision-making. We look back on what marketing strategies we should have used the last couple of years and we feel a sense of regret about lost opportunities. The emotional components are oddly human. We feel worse about selling $6 corn and watching it

“Where Farm and Family Meet”
Editor’s Note: Tim Emslie, Country Hedging market analyst, is sitting in this week for Phyllis Nystrom, the regular “Grain Outlook” columnist. ■ CORN — The record pace of the 2012 corn harvest continued this week with harvest nearly a month ahead of average as of mid-October. As harvest entered the final stretch, cash markets began to bid for supply. The corn market is strictly domestic right now; export business remains extremely limited. Brazil and the TIM EMSLIE Ukraine are capturing any world Country Hedging trade. Weekly export sales from St. Paul the United States were a mere 167,000 metric tons. Total commitments are running 42 percent behind last year, while the current U.S. Department of Agriculture estimate reflects a 25 percent decrease. The U.S. export pace will pick up when supplies from those areas are exhausted after the first of the year. We are reluctant to lower our estimate for exports below the 1,150 mark based on South America switching its focus to soybean exports and the Ukraine exhausting its supply. Some of the logistical issues in Brazil are already showing signs of swinging some interest back to the United States. Strategie Grains of Paris lowered its estimate for European Union corn production by 900,000 mt to 52.8 million mt, and increased corn imports to 11 mmt. For comparison, the latest USDA estimates

Soybean weakness triggered by harvest pressure EMSLIE, from pg. 33A were for production of 55.6 mmt and imports of 5 mmt. The production problems were in southeastern Europe, which will likely have to import corn from Ukraine. The EU also appears ready to import Brazilian corn this year as the European Commission approved a genetically modified variety from Brazil this week. Brazilian export basis moved higher this week. Argentina made headlines this week with a crackdown on exporters. The country has been opening tax investigations on exporting companies in an attempt to increase revenue, and is adding requirements for grain exporters. The final factor arguing for potential for better corn exports in the future is the trimming of wheat production year on year, providing less feed wheat availability. World wheat production fell from 696 mmt to 653 mmt this year. This does not mean that U.S. competitiveness in the export market will pick up in the immediate future, but the European production numbers did provide a hint that the dismal pace of U.S. corn exports may not last forever. Weekly ethanol production was down a bit at 797,000 barrels per day, 3,000 barrels less than the previous week. That’s a slightly slower pace than required by the USDA’s marketing year estimate of 4,500 million
bushels of corn, but the overall pace remains on track to hit that level. The Commitments of Traders report showed funds were net sellers during the week ending Oct. 16 of about 4,000 contracts, bringing net length below 200,000 contracts for the first time since mid-July. The net long is still about 100,000 contracts bigger than what it was last year at this time. OUTLOOK: The December contract rose for a second week, advancing 8.75 cents this week. Technical momentum will be limited on the upside until the post-October report high at 7.76 is eclipsed. This week managed to hold higher low than the previous week by just 1/4 cent, but failed to make a higher high, creating an inside week on the chart. The nearby spread firmed this week, the result of slow farmer selling and cash market strength. Look for the market to drift higher to find farmer selling in the short-term. In the long-run, Informa Economics this week essentially reaffirmed its forecast for 97.5 million acres in 2013, and estimated production at a record 14.6 billion bushels. SOYBEANS — The November contract rallied for the first weekly gain in five weeks, but also set a new fall low before rallying. The weakness came early in the week, triggered by additional harvest pressure. Soybean harvest, unlike corn
MARKETING
harvest, is not at a record pace in 2012. It is well ahead of average however at 71 percent complete. China reported GDP figures midweek, coinciding with a sharp rally in beans. The Chinese economy grew at a 7.4 percent year-on-year rate in the third quarter, the seventh straight quarter of slowing growth. The 7.4 percent growth was about as expected, and was accompanied by some data that may indicate some stabilization for the current quarter. Specifically, September data on retail sales and industrial production indicate that fourth quarter growth could halt the slide. Retail sales growth picked up from 12 percent in August to 13.3 percent in September, while industrial production rose 9.2 percent from 8.9 percent. The retail sales strength indicates some rebalancing of the Chinese economy toward the consumer is taking place. Weekly export sales were only modestly higher than the previous week at 523,400 mt for 2012-13. There was a daily sales announcement on Tuesday of 110,150 mt to an unknown destination. National Oilseed Processors Association crush for September was reported this week at 119.7 million bushels. OUTLOOK: Was the soybean market able to make a harvest low this week at $14.85 3/4? The market needed some trigger to shift focus to the demand side and halt the technical selling, and may have gotten it with the Chinese GDP numbers. We’ll look to that level for support for now. South American weather will become an
increasingly important fundamental input; right now conditions are a bit too wet in Argentina, while Brazil appears to be getting enough rain to get going with seeding. Looking even further ahead, Informa Economics raised its estimate for 2013 U.S. planting by 115,000 acres to 80 million acres. This would fit with the higher soft red winter wheat plantings we are hearing about this fall in preparations for double-crop next year. Tim’s tidbits: U.S. economic data was generally solid with a couple of cautionary signals. On the positive side, retail sales rose 1.1 percent, housing starts jumped to a four-year high, and the Philly Fed index rose into positive territory for the first time since April. Weekly jobless claims jumped back up following last week’s unusually low number due to seasonal adjustments from California. The S&P 500 index rose just 0.3 percent after a Friday selloff trimmed gains. Crude oil fell 1.36 to $90.50, and the U.S. dollar index fell 0.1 percent. Wheat registered solid gains this week of 18.25 cents in Minneapolis, 17.75 cents in Kansas City and 15.75 cents in Chicago. Ukraine will be halting exports as of Nov. 15, limiting exports to 5 mmt for the crop year. This move was fairly well anticipated due to the poor crop this year. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange announced it had purchased the Kansas City Board of Trade, bringing the hard red winter contract into the CME portfolio.

TEALE, from pg. 33A fewer numbers of cattle. This could halt the advancement in price over the near-term until weights significantly come down. Producers should continue to monitor the market a protect inventories when necessary. It is now quite evident that the hog market has finally turned the corner on the prolonged downtrend that plagued the market from late-summer into the fall months. The catalyst behind the upward move has been the increased demand for pork and finally fewer numbers of hogs. The pork cutouts had declined far enough to entice retailers to feature more pork. The fact that October is
national pork month did not hurt either. As we move into the latter part of October with pork cutouts near the $90 level, interest in pork has begun to slack off. This could be the signal that the current recovery is coming to an end. The competitive meat situation would continue to favor pork as the best value against all others, but demand will have to pick up once again to recharge the hog market to push on to higher prices. The upcoming USDA Cold Storage Report will give a clue as to the overall demand situation and could give the hog market direction for the next several weeks. Producers should approach the market with some caution and be prepared to protect their inventories for the near-term. ❖

Master passing risk to others
of being sold into a falling market is moved to the mitigated side of the ledger when it is priced. We in production agriculture are risk takers. If we did not take the risk of putting the seed into the ground, we would never have a crop to harvest. There is always weather risk and other production risk. Margin risk is ever present in this market environment. We must learn how to give the risk to others whenever possible. We give up some of the “upside” opportunity when we do this, yet we eliminate the “downside” consequence. When this can be accomplished, while locking-in a profit, we position ourselves for success. ❖

NEHER, from pg. 33A trade to $8; than when we sell $6 corn after seeing trade at $8. It is all the same money, yet we strangely feel better selling into a “down” market than selling into a rally market. If risk and opportunities are “flip sides of the same coin,” then regret and overconfidence are likewise. In these profitable times for grain producers, everything that we do seems to make money. This tends to lead to complacency and overconfidence. This can lead to taking on poorly managed risk and losing sight of the financial hazards along the way. Risk management will be the key to our ability to leverage the opportunities ahead. Risk management is the “identification, assessment and prioritization of risks followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor and control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate events.” It is easy to make the conclusion that the elimination of risk is the key to success. If this is one’s goal, little money will be made in our operations. One must take some risk, in order to leverage the opportunities in the marketplace. The key is to find a balance between accepting some risks and mitigating others with risk management tools and management practices. The practice of “laying risk off onto others” is one to be mastered. The use of a “risk ledger” is helpful for monitoring and controlling the “probability and/or impact of unfortunate events.” On one side of the ledger, list all of the identified risks. As the risk is mitigated, it is moved to the other side of the ledger. An example of un-priced grain, being at risk
“short crop, long tail” principle. That was a short crop coupled with noticeably lower ending stocks. There was a significant run-up of corn prices in the spring and early summer of 1996. The 1996 market dropped faster during the summer as a better 1996 crop became more obvious. Another significant factor in the corn market in those years was China turning from a country that exported corn to a country that imported corn. So on one hand Usset said we might be content to sell a good portion of the 2012 crop around the harvest season if harvest season prices stay pretty firm. On the other hand with a short crop and low ending stocks for the last two years, there might be a reason to hold some of the crop to see how spring unfolds. Signs of continuing dry weather for 2013 in the spring and early summer would logically motivate higher prices. Once again it’s difficult to predict what the markets will actually do, and people need to settle on market strategies that make sense to them. I’m not a market adviser. My point is to encourage you to consider your needs and opportunities, practice using a marketing plan that fits your needs, and to stay in a learning mode from year to year. Look for what you can learn through reading, workshops and/or working with resource people who can make sense and cents of market plans that fit your situation.

finding strategies to gain an extra 50 cents or maybe a dollar per bushel in current market ranges. Another principle comes out of the following question: If I have 20,000 bushels of corn to sell, and I sell 5,000 bushels today, what do I hope the market does tomorrow? Our gut response often is, “I hope the market goes down — then I’ll know selling today was a good choice.”The better answer is, “I hope the market goes up, because that gives me a better opportunity with the next sale.” One tool Usset encourages every farmer to use is an appropriate crop insurance program to cover the risk of a poor crop; and then to use forward pricing opportunities for a portion of the crop that you are comfortable with. Crop insurance expands the comfort zone for some people. Related to the 2012 crop, Usset looks at the principle “short crop, long tail.” That means in a poor crop year, we often see the market rise until close to harvest, then kind of plateau or bounce around, then tail off slowly over the next eight or nine months. Usset said that when we look at the basis, we don’t see a lot of incentive to hold corn until spring or summer. That could change. Typically, large grain users have tried to nail down a lot of their needs with stronger forward pricing opportunities through the summer as it becomes clear there will be a short crop. They don’t want to be caught short later. Usset pointed to the 1995 crop as an exception to the

I attended a crop insurance workshop in Mankato a couple of weeks ago, organized by the University of Minnesota Center for Farm Financial Management. One of the speakers was Ed Usset, U of M Extension grain marketing specialist. Usset worked for several years as a wheat trader in the pits at the Minneapolis Grain Exchange. He set the tone for his Extension work by saying, “I don’t do market outlook meetings.” His point was that you can’t predict the markets. It can be helpful to learn about trends, typical patterns, strategies and marketing tools; but you really can’t predict what the market will do in six months or a year. There are too many wild cards that affect markets, like the weather and global politics. Usset’s advice is to develop a marketing plan that fits your situation — your financial situation, your needs, goals, priorities, willingness and ability to take risk. The goal is not to try to guess the week when you can sell your crop at the highest price of the year. The goal is to spread the risk and get a better average price through the year and from year to year. One marketing principle is that “you can’t go broke selling at a price that turns a profit.” The flip side of that observation is that farmers who take less than an average price for a crop are competing for land (and other resources perhaps) with farmers who are

unchanged from July and August 2011. Year-to-date cheese imports were estimated at $963 million, down about 1 percent from a year ago. August exports were equivalent to 14.2 percent of U.S. milk solids production, bringing the year-to-date percentage to 13.6 percent. August imports were just 3.2 percent as a percent of milk solids production, according to the DPW. Dairy exports have played an ever-increasing role in supporting U.S. milk prices and the Oct. 12 Daily Dairy Report pointed out that year-over-year U.S. cheese and nonfat dry milk/skim milk powder exports for January through August were up 21 percent and 9 percent, respectively. Increased cheese and NDM/SMP exports account for about 1.2 billion pounds of milk, and are equal to one-third of the 3.65 billion pound year-to-date increase in U.S. milk production, according to the DDR, which adds that the bulk of the gains in cheese and NDM/SMP exports is due to increased buying from Mexico. “Mexico’s role as a customer for U.S. dairy products cannot be underestimated,” the DDR said. Through August, Mexico accounted for the largest share of U.S. cheese and NDM/SMP exports and the greatest growth in volume. Approximately 42 percent of the United States’ 697 million pounds of NDM were exported to Mexico this year. Through August, Mexico imported 291.4 million pounds of NDM/SMP, up 48 million pounds from last year. Likewise, almost a quarter of U.S. cheese exports are destined for Mexico. Through August, Mexico imported nearly 96 million pounds, up 27.7 million pounds versus last year. Editor Mary Ledman adds in the Daily Dairy Discussion on the DDR website that through August, the United States has exported over 90 million pounds of Cheddar cheese, 10 percent of which went to Mexico, but cautioned “had that 90 million pounds been traded at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, it would have been equivalent to almost 2,300 loads, which surely would have had price depressing impacts so these exports definitely buoy out domestic prices.” ■ Back to Chicago, cash butter was also caught in the down draft this week, closing Friday at $1.88, down a nickel on the week but 2 cents above a year ago. Twenty cars were sold on the week and the AMSbutter average hit $1.9315, up 2.5 cents. Demand for print butter is strong as handlers and end-users prepare for the upcoming holiday season, according to the USDA. Feature activity is fair to good in spite of the relatively high wholesale pricing, DMN said, partly because butter has been bought and stored at lower prices or hedged at a lower cost point. In some cases, butter is also used as a loss leader. Interest from food service accounts is steady to trending higher. Butter production is moderate to heavy.

MIELKE, from pg. 36A $1.4587, up 1.8 cents, and dry whey averaged 61.52 cents, up a half-cent. ■ U.S. corn prices for 2012-13 were reduced slightly in October to $7.10 to $8.50 per bushel, while production was lowered only slightly from September estimates in the USDA’s latest Livestock, Dairy and Poultry Outlook. Soybean meal prices for 2012-13 were also forecast lower this month at $470 to $500 per ton. Lower forecast grain and soymeal prices in 2013, along with anticipated lower alfalfa prices, will lower the feed ration price, supporting a higher milk-feed price ratio in 2013 than in 2012. Producers are culling at a slower pace than earlier projected, according to the Outlook, “as an improving feed outlook along with higher milk prices may have reduced the urgency to reduce herd size.” But, U.S. dairy cull cow slaughter continued at a high volume during the first week of October, according to DPW, topping 63,000 head for the fourth consecutive week. Since mid-September, weekly slaughter has averaged 63,600 head, with the year-to-date total of cows slaughtered under federal inspection at 2.35 million head, up 133,600 from the same period a year ago. The Outlook’s October forecast places the dairy cow herd at 9.2 million head in the current year and 9.1 million in 2013. The residual effects of last summer’s heat and pressure from high feed prices suggest a small reduction from September’s forecast of annual output per cow to 21,635 pounds this year, with a slight increase expected next year to 21,880 pounds. An improved feed price outlook and an uptick in milk prices are the basis for the forecast. Milk production is steady to higher in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, according to the DMN, while Florida output is steady to lower. Farm milk volumes in the Midwest are near seasonal lows and component trends are slow to improve. California production is mainly steady and processing plants are running at seasonal low levels. Arizona output continues to move higher on a weekly basis, with Class I demand steady to occasionally higher. Plants in New Mexico are running on reduced seasonal schedules and milk production is trending steady. Pacific Northwest milk output is trending near seasonal lows. Utah and Idaho supplies are mostly steady. Dairy plants are operating at less than full schedules. ■ Speaking of California, the Oct. 14 San Francisco Chronicle reports experts estimate that by the end of this year California will have lost more than 100 dairies to bankruptcies, foreclosures and sales due to this year’s exceptionally high feed costs, and suicides among dairy producers are a growing concern.

Expert: Exercise proper management when grazing drought-stricken corn fodder Many producers have turned to letting cattle graze corn fodder as a cost-effective feedstuff amid record-setting drought. But a Purdue Extension animal scientist says there are certain precautions to take to keep animals healthy. When hungry cattle are turned out on corn stalks with no prior rumen adaptation to starch, they can suffer acute acidosis — a sudden drop in rumen pH caused by rapid grain overload that can lead to illness or death. “In the more seriously stressed, lower-yielding fields, some producers are reporting ear drop resulting from stalk quality issues and ‘nubbin’ ears that are slipping through the stripper plates of the combine head,” Ron Lemenager said. “Collectively, this ear drop can create acute acidosis when grazing corn stalks if not managed correctly.” Part of that management is to scout fields before turning out cattle to determine how much corn is there. “Cows seem to have a homing device, and they will find ears wherever they are in the field,” Lemenager said. If there is a lot of corn, he said producers could feed several pounds of corn grain per cow daily for several days before allowing them to graze. This helps adapt the rumen to starch. Cattle also should be full of dry hay before turnout so they don’t eat as many ears and should be turned out
midday to allow corn stalks to dry from morning dew. Dry forage stimulates saliva production and can provide a bit of a rumen buffer to help minimize a sudden pH drop. Lemenager also suggested limiting grazing to smaller field sections. “Consider strip grazing using a single hot wire to include only a portion of the acreage and make sure it includes a drinking water resource,” he said. “This will prevent cows from gleaning the entire field of ears and will force them to consume leaves and shucks to dilute the intake of grain. “After several days, the rumens should be adapted to starch and the concern of acidosis is reduced.” Even when properly managing livestock grazing on corn stalks, Lemenager advised that producers should still know the symptoms of acute acidosis. Cattle at first will look stressed or gaunt and could stop eating. Further along, they could have loose, gray stools and eventually might have elongated hoof growth. “If cows are showing signs of stress, the best bet is to get them off of stalks and onto dry hay,” he said. “But the key here is to prevent acute acidosis rather than try to treat it.” This article was submitted by the Purdue University Agricultural Communications Department. ❖
Cheese up 16.4 cents MIELKE, from pg. 37A Stronger fluid milk demand would help all dairy farmers. The USDA estimates that 4.5 billion pounds of packaged fluid milk products were sold in August in the United States, down a half percent from August 2011, and after adjusting for calendar composition, sales were off a half percent. Conventional fluid products decreased 0.9 percent while total organic fluid products increased 9.8 percent. The USDA announced the November federal order Class I base milk price this afternoon at $20.70 per hundredweight, up $1.82 from October, $2.25
above November 2011, is the highest since September 2011, and equates to about $1.78 per gallon. That put the 2012 Class I average at $17.10, down from $19.19 at this time a year ago and compares to $15.21 in 2010 and $11.25 in 2009. The AMS-surveyed butter price averaged $1.9197/lb, up 9.6 cents from October. Nonfat dry milk, at $1.4503, was up 8 cents. Cheese averaged $2.0186, up 16.4 cents, and dry whey averaged 61.3 cents/lb., up 3 cents. Lee Mielke is a syndicated columnist who resides in Everson, Wash.

Honey of a hobby
This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondent Carolyn Van Loh
awrence Guetter’s hobby is off a L back road near Seaforth in Redwood County, Minn. Lawrence lives in
nearby Wabasso with his wife, Leslie, but has two of his beehives off a narrow gravel road, down a grass-covered path. “I thought it would be fun to do,” he said of one of his retirement hobbies. “And he likes honey,” Leslie added. Lawrence researched bees and honey before purchasing his first hives after retiring 10 years ago from his business in Redwood Falls. Despite the hazard of being stung, he enjoys caring for his bees and sharing his knowledge and experiences with others. In September, Lawrence and Leslie demonstrated how to extract honey from the honeycomb the old-fashioned hand crank way at the Gilfillan Estate Fall Festival. Leslie carefully scraped the cap (thin layer of wax) covering the honey-laden comb before Lawrence placed three honeycombs in the centrifugal extractor. Bees soon discovered the discarded wax and began recycling the bits of honey clinging to the wax. Pollen gathering season may have been over in late-September when this photo was taken, but back at the hive bees continued working. Lawrence pro-
vided each hive with liquid sugar to fill the void caused by the lack of pollen. Man has enjoyed the sweetness of honey since the beginning of time. The Bible mentions honey from Genesis to Revelation and numerous places in between. People used honey both as a food and a medicine. The Guetters advocate the health benefits of honey. Since heating honey destroys some of the vitamins, minerals and enzymes, raw honey is the healthier choice. Most people have heard of or used honey to soothe a cough, and research has shown that buckwheat honey is more effective than other honey flavors. Honey is known to increase a person’s immunity. It may also be helpful in lowering high cholesterol and in helping patients with Type 2 diabetes. Since honey is sweeter than sugar, less honey is needed to achieve the desired sweetness. Just as Lawrence packs away his golf clubs during Minnesota winters, he also packs away his bee equipment. He can enjoy the sweet taste of honey all winter, but he must satisfy his taste for golf by watching tournaments on television or traveling to a warmer climate where he can fulfill his urge to golf. ❖

tains a statewide real-time soil temperature data map on their website that ag retailers and farmers use to determine when fall N applications are appropriate. The website can be found at http://extension.agron.iastate.edu /NPKnowledge. Farmers should also be mindful to pay special attention when applying anhydrous ammonia to dry soil. Dry soil can hold ammonia, but if they are cloddy and do not seal properly, the ammonia can be lost at injection or seep through the large pores between clods after application. With this in mind, farmers and applicators should assure proper depth of injection and good soil coverage when applying into dry soils. If following a round of application in the field the ammonia can still be smelled the applicator should make adjustments or wait for better conditions. Farmers with questions about timing of fertilizer applications can talk to their local Extension specialist or their ag retailer for more information.

Farmers are encouraged to wait until soil temperatures remain below 50 degrees Fahrenheit before applying anhydrous ammonia (NH3) fertilizer this fall. With the record early harvest this year, officials with the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and Iowa State University Extension and Outreach said that waiting can help reduce nitrogen loss and better protects the environment. “With farmers finishing harvest earlier than normal, it is important that they still wait for cooler soil temps to apply anhydrous so that there is a better chance the fertilizer stays put and will be available to the crop next spring,” said Bill Northey, Iowa Secretary of Agriculture. “Soil temperatures, like air temperatures, can change quickly so it is important that we wait with applications until soils are likely to remain below 50 degrees.” “Historically, soil temperatures at a 4-inch depth cool below 50 degrees in the northern third of the state during the first week of November,” said Elwynn Taylor, ISU Extension and Outreach climatologist. “In central and southern Iowa, soil temperatures cool below 50 degrees during the second week and third weeks of November.” ISU Extension and Outreach main-
