OPINION
Commentary: Be prepared for the consequences of 2012’s drought The deepening drought is not just a concern for farmers — it’s a concern for all Minnesotans and anyone who cares about our state’s economy. Minnesota’s agriculture and food sector generates nearly $75 billion in total economic activity for our state, and the sector has a total employment impact of more than 340,000 jobs. Anything that hurts our agricultural production puts those economic benefits at risk. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is working with partner agencies to provide farmers with information about helpful programs, resources and information on our drought website at www.mda.state.mn.us/drought. The site has information about crop and weather conditions, as well as federal and state resources that can help farmers deal with the impacts of those conditions. We will continue to update our site to make sure it includes the best information to help Minnesota farmers dealing with this situation. We are also working with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to make sure that farmers, lawn and garden centers, plant nursery managers and other land owners are aware of the growing concerns about water availability for 2013. We are encouraging our farmers to take into account the possibility of drought as they make business and cropping plans for 2013. Specific recommendations for lessening drought impacts will vary from one farm to the next, but here are four general tips Minnesota farmers can take to ensure they are as prepared as possible.
• Consider installing a drainage water management plan and structures this fall to capture rainfall and snowmelt. While drainage systems are designed to move excess water off cropland, a properly designed managed system also can help retain moisture. Farmers can start the planning process by talking with contractors, suppliers and their local Natural Resources Conservation Service office. • Consider additional conservation practices, such as leaving old fence rows and field wind breaks intact to reduce wind erosion that might be a bigger problem during dry conditions. Reduced tillage, no-till and other tillage options can be good strategies to conserve soil moisture and reduce wind erosion. • Carefully weigh the prospects of continued dry weather when planning what, where and how to plant in 2013. As always, crop advisers and seed dealers can help farmers weigh their options. • Farmers with irrigated acres may consider tools for managing water as efficiently as possible. This may include water distribution uniformity checks, irrigation scheduling tools and low pressure conversions. We have several months to go before anyone plants crops for 2013, and plenty of things can still happen. As we all know, weather patterns can shift dramatically in Minnesota. We will hope for generous rain and snow between now and springtime, but out of prudence, we must be prepared for the alternative. This commentary was submitted by Minnesota Department of Agriculture Commissioner Dave Frederickson. ❖
Much is said about biotechnology in our food supply, otherwise known as GMOs. It’s sometimes hard to tell fact from fiction. The United Soybean Board wants to set the record straight regarding this important technology, which enables us to grow more on less land, using fewer inputs and conserving the soil better than conventional crops. What is biotechnology? Simply put, biotechnology takes the DNA from one organism and transfers it into another. For as long as humans have been raising crops, we have cross-bred plants in order to improve them. We’ve done this by taking the pollen from one plant and physically transferring the genes in the pollen to another plant in order to make offspring that produce more seed or that can fight off diseases and pests, for example. However, pollen contains many genes, some good and some bad. So, late in the last century, we identified a way to accomplish gene transfer in the lab. This made it possible to add only the good genes, or fix bad ones already in the plant, in order to improve its usefulness to farmers and mankind. Is it safe? Yes. To ensure they are safe, the U.S. government has established a rigorous approval process for biotech products that includes the Food and Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Moreover, ever since the first biotech crop hit the market in 1996, about 1 billion acres of U.S. farmland have been planted to biotech crops and trillions of pounds of U.S. soybeans and corn have been consumed worldwide, all with no credible reports of harm to human health. In addition, these organizations have come out in support of biotech foods: American Medical Association, U.S. National Academy of Science, UN Food and Agriculture Organization, World Health Organization, International Council for Science and British Medical Association. Why is it important to know about the safety of biotech crops? Some have questioned the safety of biotech crops. That is because there are people, some of whom are even from the academic world, who claim that research has been done that questions biotech’s safety. But it’s important to know that in order for any research to be credible, it needs to be reviewed by the authors’ peers and replicated in their labs. No such “peer-reviewed” research has proven GMOs to be unsafe. As a matter of fact, the opposite is true: Peer-reviewed research shows that GMOs are safe. This commentary was submitted by Vanessa Kummer, United Soybean Board chair and a soybean farmer from Colfax, N.D. ❖

traits were critical to managing the ever-increasing pressure from corn rootworms.) “However proper refuge management and using additional modes of pest control, including corn rootworm insecticides at planting and at the VT stages, are great management tools for high pressure areas. Additional tools to consider for 2013 include seed and foliar fungicides to protect plant health and help maximize yield potential. But as every producer knows, we need God-given moisture and sunshine to grow a crop.” Potter: “I am not aware of any serendipitous yield enhancements, however traits (genes) for improved water use efficiency could be a yield enhancement example. The traits for insect, disease or weed control only protect yield. That said, matching the right trait to pest problems in a given field is important management. Rotation of resistance genes is beneficial long-term. “Bt-corn borer historically has provided a pretty consistent payback, however maybe less so now with current declining European corn borer populations. Bt-RW and Goss’ blight and wilt tolerance are more field-specific. Note also that reduced tillage increases the need for northern leaf blight and gray leaf spot resistance.”
Holmes: “The insect resistance traits are very important. What you do to protect the health of your corn roots can be critical to yield. The gene providing corn borer resistance is often overlooked yet invariably low corn borer infestations equated to higher yields. The same can be said about the gene providing rootworm protection, especially in environments of heavy rootworm pressure.” Behnken: “Look at all agronomic traits that are important for your farm or specific fields. Don’t forget to mix it up. Don’t plant the same hybrid with the same trait package year after year — I know hybrids change quickly — but watch trait packages on the same field. The corn rootworm trait is currently imploding because of poor stewardship and mismanagement. It is difficult to assess the long-term value of this trait because of resistance issues. “The European corn borer trait has been undervalued; we don’t talk about it much anymore. However, it is truly a success story and has been for many years. Damage from this pest has been pretty low to non-existent — no damage to corn stalks, ear shanks and no yield loss. “Even though we have issues with glyphosate-resistant weeds, this is still a very powerful tool for herbicide programs in corn and soybeans. It provides a great deal of flexibility, crop safety and still gives broad spectrum weed control. We just know it needs to be part of a more robust herbicide system and not relied on as the only herbicide in the program. Also, SCN resistance is an often overlooked trait. Growers could and should do more to ensure it continues to be effective.” Q: In view of back-to-back drought conditions over much of Iowa and Minnesota landscapes the past two seasons, and so far little recharge of soil moistures, what should producers consider for 2013? Holmes: “I doubt there will be (much) difference between fall and spring nitrogen applications for the 2013 growing season. It’s necessary to have nearly saturated soils for nitrogen to leach and we’re a long way from that in most areas. But farmers may want to consider reducing nitrogen fertilizer rates to the lower end of the recommended range. This year we noted lots of nitrogen from breakdown of organic matter.
See CROPS, pg. 9A
CROPS, from pg. 8A “Also this year continuous corn showed stress sooner and to a greater level than corn following soybeans. So I think growers need to recognize that additional risk of continuous corn if this drought extends into the 2013 planting season.” Potter: “Planning for a disaster usually turns out poorly. Next spring I would fertilize and plant as if the rain will come. Minnesota soil conditions this fall were much better than 2011, so fall N applications were not a serious issue. I acknowledge fall nitrogen fertilization is more risky with very dry soils but we’ve had just enough October moisture in most parts of the state to provide good soil conditions for nitrogen applications. “Drying your soils with spring tillage can cause problems, but so does a poor seedbed. The point being that farmers will likely still be making decisions on planting rates, fertilization, even tillage until they pull their planters out of the sheds next spring. We need to be ‘gifted’ by Mother Nature between now and
then.” Marlow: “As I travel northern Iowa, I see many fields with minimal fall tillage. Farmers have had time to do fall tillage work but it’s apparent they have chosen to leave the residue to catch the winter snows. Many are leaving their lighter soils untouched until spring tillage. “This made sense this fall especially with soil moistures so low. We all know that a few good rains in November and December before the ground freezes will correct just about everything.” Behnken: (Emphasized that earlyseason weed control is a must, especially if soil moisture is limited.) “Consider impregnating herbicides on your fertilizer on fields and crops where this system will work. It will save time and facilitate the early application of herbicide. “Also consider modifying corn seeding rates based on soil productivity — no adjustment on high productivity soil, but perhaps reduce seeding rates on lower productivity soils.” ❖

The retail cost of menu items for a classic Thanksgiving dinner including turkey, stuffing, cranberries, pumpkin pie and all the basic trimmings increased less than 1 percent this year, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation. The AFBF’s 27th annual informal price survey of classic items found on the Thanksgiving Day dinner table indicates the average cost of this year’s feast for 10 is $49.48, a 28-cent price increase from last year’s average of $49.20. The AFBF survey shopping list includes turkey, bread stuffing, sweet potatoes, rolls with butter, peas, cranberries, a relish tray of carrots and celery, pumpkin pie with whipped cream, and beverages of coffee and milk, all in quantities sufficient to serve a family of 10. There is also plenty for leftovers. The big ticket item — a 16-pound turkey — came in at $22.23 this year. That was roughly $1.39 per pound, an increase of about 4 cents per pound, or a total of 66 cents per whole turkey, compared to 2011. The whole bird was the biggest contributor to the final total, showing the largest price increase compared to last year. Savvy shoppers may pay even less for frozen tom turkey compared to AFBF’s 155 volunteer shoppers
who checked prices at grocery stores in 35 states. In addition to the turkey, a combined group of miscellaneous items, including coffee and ingredients necessary to prepare the meal (onions, eggs, sugar, flour, evaporated milk and butter) increased in price, to $3.18. A dozen brown-n-serve rolls also increased slightly this year, up 3 cents to $2.33. Items that showed a price decrease from last year were: a half pint of whipping cream, $1.83, down 13 cents; a 14-ounce package of cubed bread stuffing, $2.77, down 11 cents; three pounds of sweet potatoes, $3.15, down 11 cents; one gallon of whole milk, $3.59, down 7 cents; fresh cranberries, $2.45, down 3 cents; one pound of green peas, $1.66, down 2 cents; a 30-ounce can of pumpkin pie mix and two nine-inch pie shells, $5.53, down 2 cents. A onepound relish tray of carrots and celery remained the same at 76 cents. The slight percentage increase in the national average cost reported this year by Farm Bureau for a classic Thanksgiving dinner tracks closely with the organization’s 2012 quarterly market basket surveys and the government’s Consumer Price Index for food, available online at http://data.bls.gov. ❖

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Iowa State University Field Agronomist Terry Basol suggests that one of the biggest considerations for 2013 is likely to be moisture conservation and the effects of tillage. “Obviously it appears now that it will be important to conserve as much moisture as possible this fall, and perhaps even next spring. It is estimated that we lose one-quarterinch of plant available water with each tillage pass,” he said. Terry Basol “Why? Each tillage pass breaks up the large soil pores where water easily moves down through the soil profile. Because there is little or no residue on top, rain drops move the soil into the small pores, ‘clogging’ them. This can significantly reduce moisture infiltration into the soil resulting in more surface run-off. “Later rains can then further increase this run-off because the soil surface becomes crusted. And research shows that a decreased infiltration rate is directly proportional to the degree of tillage intensity. Basol referred to research conducted by Mahdi AlKaisi, an Iowa State University professor of soil management, which concluded that deep ripping and moldboard plowing generated the lowest infiltration rates. “It is imperative that we leave as much residue as we can on the surface. Crop residue keeps the soil temperature cooler. It also increases the moisture that it can hold, and decreases the amount of evaporation that can occur, especially in the top two inches of the soil surface. Surface residue also helps decrease the impact of the wind simply because more residue decreases moisture evaporation as the wind blows across the soil surface.” Basol said that if tillage needs to be conducted, whether this fall or next spring, do it lightly so evaporation and loss of soil moisture is minimized. Leave at least 50 percent residue or more on high-sloped areas. He even suggested not shredding the corn residue to make it more effective in protecting the soil and conserving moisture. His data indicated that if corn stalks are left standing at eight- to 16-inches tall, as much as one to two inches of soil moisture could be gained. This is a result of stalk residue catching snow, which replenishes the soil moisture profile in the spring as it melts. Basol suggested that fall fertilizer application of phosphorus and potash can still be done on level, or nearly level, fields with little erosion potential. These two nutrients are immobile so there isn’t a concern for nutrient loss before they are needed from the crop next spring. A light incorporation can either be done this fall or next spring. ❖

Hurt: Drought devastating to beef industry High feed prices and large financial losses brought on by a combination of multi-year drought in the Southern Plains and the 2012 Midwestern drought will continue their stranglehold on the nation’s beef industry in the coming months, a Purdue Extension agricultural economist says. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, September cattle placements onto feedlots dropped a sharp 19 percent compared with September 2011. July and August also were months of decline. “Drought has been particularly cruel to the beef cattle industry,” Chris Hurt said. “Brood cows remain the last major livestock industry that is land-extensive. So when dryness causes wide stretches of land to be unable to support cow grazing, producers have to buy feed or send cows to town.” The USDA currently lists 54 percent of the nation’s pastures in “poor” or “very poor” condition — the lowest two pasture condition ratings. That lack of quality grazing land means beef producers have to supplement animal diets with expensive feeds. High feed costs have caused feedlot managers to lose up to an estimated $200 per head, according to Kansas State University. “U.S. beef cow numbers are likely to be 2 to 3 percent lower in the upcoming January inventory report,” Hurt said. “The mid-year estimates were already reflecting a 4-percent decrease in the national beef-cow herd, and that was before the impacts of the 2012 drought began to be felt. The implications are for continued cow reductions until feed and forage supplies are restored.” While drought relief has come to the eastern Corn

Belt and the Southeast, 62 percent of the lower continental United States is still covered by varying degrees of drought — especially in the beef cow rich central Great Plains and western states. “As a result of the slowing placements in the past three months, the number of cattle on feed dropped to 3 percent below year-ago levels on Oct. 1,” Hurt said. “Cattle on feed will play a role in rationing the nation’s short corn supply.” One ray of hope is that those beef producers able to endure the hard times could see cattle prices rise for the remainder of this year and into 2013. A drop in per capita beef supplies combined with steady consumer demand will drive prices higher. Live steer prices for the just completed third quarter of 2012 averaged near $120 per hundredweight. Hurt said prices are expected to be near $125 for the final quarter and $130 in the first quarter of 2013. Spring prices are likely to peak in the high-$130s, and prices in the second quarter of 2013 are likely to average in the mid-$130s. Record-high cattle prices could be in store for 2013.
Calf prices won’t recover quite so quickly because high feed prices will continue to discourage feedlot managers from bidding up. That trend is likely to continue until feed prices fall a bit. “That moderation in feed prices could begin in a small way with lower soybean meal prices in the spring of 2013, assuming reasonable South American soybean production,” he said. “Further declines in feed costs could occur with a better grazing season in the spring and summer of 2013 and a return to larger U.S. corn and soybean crops next year. “A more abundant feed supply in the second half of 2013 could result in a robust price recovery for calf and feeder cattle prices.” Hurt also said replenished feed supplies would begin U.S. beef herd expansion in late 2013.

Warmer climates won’t necessarily speed the return of nitrogen to soils as scientists once thought, according to a Purdue University study. Increased temperatures from climate change have been expected to speed decomposition of plant materials and the return of nitrogen to soils, making the soil more fertile for plants. But Jeff Dukes, an associate professor of forestry and natural resources at Purdue, found that the microbes responsible for returning nitrogen to soils react differently to a range of climate scenarios. “More nitrogen being available is not something we can count on in all ecosystems,” said Dukes, whose findings were published in the journal Global Change Biology. The findings suggest that while warming has been expected to accelerate nitrogen cycling, it may actually have little to no effect on the process in some ecosystems. This means that climate models that assume increased soil fertility in warmer conditions may overestimate the amount of plant productivity in those ecosystems. Dukes runs the Boston-Area Climate Experiment, which measures ecosystem responses to climate change. His research group uses heaters, plastic roofs and sprinklers to change the climate over small plots of land and then tests plant and soil responses to increases in temperature and increases or decreases in precipitation. In this experiment, Dukes tested 36 plots under 12 different climate scenarios — four levels of warming and three different levels of precipitation — over two years. Although Dukes and his team expected to find that warming would speed the return of nitrogen to the soil, they instead found that warming and changes in
precipitation rarely influenced this rate. Instead, warming and drought caused the processes involved in nitrogen cycling to become less sensitive to temperature. “It seems that some ecosystems are less responsive than we expected,” Dukes said. “It may be that as you warm up, the soil microbes in those ecosystems adjust and the rate of nitrogen cycling winds up being the same.” Novem Auyeung, a doctoral student who was involved in the study, added, “soil microbes operate on very short time scales, and many adjustments could have happened in the microbial community over the course of our two-year experiment.” Dukes said it would take further study to understand just how soil microbes are affected by climate changes. “These responses would have to be based on the abundance or composition of microbes or the activity of these microbes,” Dukes said. “We need to learn which it is.” Dukes said he would like to test whether the results are similar in other soil types so that climate models can accurately simulate these processes. “Soil fertility can affect carbon storage, and ultimately the rate of climate change,” Dukes said. “I want to see how general this result is so that we can better predict how ecosystems will function in the future. If lots of ecosystems work this way, then nature may not be as good at slowing climate change as we had thought.” The National Science Foundation and U.S. Department of Energy funded the research.

gain market share in U.S. corn production and yield ranking while the Istates (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa) will continue to struggle if the weather becomes more extreme and variable. Coulter said that hot temps (greater than 86 F at normal to low soil moisture or greater than about 90 to 92 F with adequate to abundant soil moisture) during the two weeks before and after silking are the worst because they affect pollination and, more importantly, kernel abortion following pollination. However, soil moisture levels during these critical four weeks are more important than air temperatures. So, if you’re a weather buff, watching crops from year to year, you can think about how that plays out with your experience. In the end, the task seems to be the same — we try to do the best with the cards that are dealt, and we can be thankful for the harvest we have this year.

might mean 70 bushels of an expected 140 bushel yield, but it’s still half a crop. Economically, it might not serve us much better than half a crop did 40 years ago. It is more feed. Taylor said that along with getting less rain, the corn crop in the southern part of the Corn Belt suffered because of warmer than normal night temperatures. Minnesota did better this year partly because being farther north, night temperatures were not as excessive. He said that if overnight temperatures from pollination to grain maturity are four degrees above normal, this can reduce yields by 20 percent. I found that interesting because I’ve heard the comment many times over the years that “these warm nights are gonna’ make corn.” Taylor said that crops store energy and manufacture dry matter material through the process of photosynthesis during the day. Respiration goes on 24 hours a day and this is where plants use energy. When night temperatures are too high, through respiration, the plant burns off more of the energy it
captures during the day. Taylor said if we stay with warmer weather patterns, Minnesota might have an advantage over other Corn Belt states more often in the future. I asked Jeff Coulter, our University of Minnesota Extension corn agronomist about this recently, and he agreed with Taylor. Coulter said that warm temperatures during the vegetative phases aren’t usually a big deal because this just increases Growing Degree Day accumulation and growth rate; and temperature is usually not high enough during this time in Minnesota to hurt anything. (I’d add that 1988 might be an exception to that.) But, during grain fill it is different because the sugars from photosynthesis are wasted on respiration rather than for storage in kernels when nighttime temperatures are too hot. Coulter said some of the highest corn yield environments in the United States are the irrigated desert regions — small acreages in Arizona, New Mexico, etc. — where it is warm and sunny during the days (upper 80s), and then cool in the evenings.

I attended a crop insurance workshop in Mankato, Minn., recently where Elwynn Taylor, well-known climate specialist and agronomist at Iowa State University, offered some discussion about the weather, climate and crop trends. One of the weather patterns Taylor talked about was based on corn yields recorded since 1866 that show about 19 years of fairly stable yields alternating with about 25 years of more volatile yields, meaning wider variations from year to year. He showed that we’re coming out of one of the 19-year periods with more stable yields and he suggested that we are moving into 25 years with more variable weather and yields. That would mean having a strategy for managing risk from year to year and over longer periods of time continues to be important. He also noted that U.S. corn yields have increased at a rate of about 2 bushels per year over the last 30 years; and Minnesota’s corn crop has increased about 2.5 bushels per year during this time. Taylor also cautioned us with the idea that we are as sensitive to the weather as we ever have been — even though we have better genetics in crop varieties and we have learned some things about other crop production practices. You might think about it like this. Unfavorable weather conditions 40 years ago might have resulted in half a crop or less. We can still have weather conditions that could deal us half a crop or less. Forty years ago, half a crop might have been 50 bushels of an expected 100-bushel yield. Today it

Mushrooms prove to be growing business By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent Forest Mushrooms Inc. is a small complex of buildings that sit on 20 acres outside of St. Joseph, Minn., but it is the heart of the mushroom business in Minnesota. Its local presence can also be credited with some of the increase in mushroom consumption. “When we started, we were growing 400 to 600 pounds a week and shipped most of them off to other states,” said Kevin Doyle, owner of Forest Mushrooms. “Now we grow over 2,300 pounds a week and we’ve withdrawn from all those other markets and sell only to the Twin Cities.” Doyle’s degree in natural science prepared him to become a mushroom grower when he started the business with three partners in 1985, but his market sense has made the business successful. From the start he had an approach that differed from his partners, whom he eventually bought out. The first approach was to concentrate on quality, rather than undercutting the price of other suppliers. “We already have an advantage in the market because our product will be fresher and it will be easier for the buyers because we’ll deliver it to them,” Doyle told his partners. “Keep the price
the same as other suppliers but give the buyer a superior product which will help them increase their sales.” Concentrating on freshness and quality, which improved the buyers’ bottom line, they were able to break into the market simply by matching the price of other suppliers. His second market move came after he became sole owner. His partners wanted to be growers, not wholesalers, but Doyle realized that someone else could come along and offer an array of mushrooms, including the one or two kinds he was growing. Buyers would no longer want to deal with one small grower. “The first week I was on my own I started buying other mushrooms, and now for many, many years only 20 to 25 percent of our gross sales are what we produce here,” he said. By making it possible for wholesalers to fill all their needs with one call, Forest Mushrooms became the heart of the Minnesota mushroom business. “It helped us secure our market position a lot more than just being a grower,” Doyle said. “It is what has allowed us to build these other buildings (it all started in one building), expand our growing, and add a packaging area.

Funds available for sustainable farming innovations The Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s Sustainable Agriculture Demonstration Grant Program will award up to $100,000 in 2013 for onfarm sustainable agriculture research or demonstration projects. The MDA is now accepting applications for the grant program which promotes environmental stewardship and
conservation of resources and strives to improve profitability and quality of life on farms and in rural areas. Minnesota Agriculture Commissioner Dave Frederickson said the MDA’s Sustainable Agriculture Demonstration Grant Program has helped move new ideas and concepts into viable production practices.
“With these grants, farmers and researchers have the opportunity to pursue their ideas, track the results and then share this valuable information with others,” Frederickson said. “For example, we’ve seen the development of high tunnel systems to increase fruit production and new successes with cover crops.” Grant applications are available on the
MDA website at http://go.usa.gov/YBSj or by contacting the Agricultural Marketing and Development Division at (651) 201-6012. Completed applications must be received by the MDA no later than Jan. 11.
Louis M. “Mick” Colvin is passionate about beef and young people. That’s why the Certified Angus Beef brand rallies its partners each year to support the scholarship fund that honors its first formal leader by helping collegians reach their goals. For 2013, $15,000 will be split among five undergraduate scholarships, in the amounts of $5,000, $4,000, $3,000, $2,000 and $1,000. College juniors and seniors who have shown commitment to the beef industry, either through coursework
or activities, are encouraged to apply by the Dec. 7 deadline. Applications are evaluated on involvement and scholastic achievement, communication skills and reference letters.
scholarship monies at a golf outing and auction held during the brand’s annual conference this year in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va. The dollars go into an account that generates the interest proceeds used to fund these scholarships each year. That ensures the longevity of the program and its impact on the industry. The top two recipients also win an all-expense-paid trip to the 2013 CAB Annual Conference, Sept. 18-20 in Palm Desert, Calif. This is an opportunity to interact with leaders through-
out the production, packing, retail and foodservice industries. The Colvin Scholarship Fund began in 1999 when Colvin retired as CAB executive director. The scholarships recognize his role in making dreams a reality and inspiring others to be their best. Colvin co-founded the CAB program in 1978, leading to establishing the world’s leading brand of fresh beef. For more details, log on to www.certifiedangusbeef.com/press/colvin. ❖

Obedience training recommended for all dogs It is a question many pet owners face: Does my dog need some obedience training? “Yes, I recommend obedience training for all dogs, because not only does it help provide basic obedience and command recognition, it also helps bolster basic interactions between people and their pets,” said Stacy Eckman, lecturer at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences.
Eckman suggests that all dogs are good candidates for training school. “Those who are generally more timid may become less fearful or shy around other animals and people after training,” Eckman said. “Those pets that are very boisterous may learn some.” Obedience training now encompasses classes for dogs of all types, whether your dog is a puppy or

needs training in a certain discipline. Classes today are not just for dogs that need correctional discipline due to an unruly attitude. “Most of the classes focus on basic commands and communication between pets and humans, certainly not just for dogs that act out,” Eckman said. “These classes are good socialization exercises also.” Eckman said, “there are ‘puppy’ classes that are offered that can be started when pets have a minimum number of vaccinations. These are great classes for learning interactions, potty training, etc. There are classes for all ages and stages, so they can start at any time.” It is best to start at an early age, because it is much easier to establish consistent rules from the beginning than to go back and try to retrain an undesirable habit the dog has been allowed to develop. Once a behavior has developed, training takes longer. Animal owners have recognized the importance of obedience training and have expressed a need to have opportunities to help train their animals. Therefore, there are many opportunities around the nation available for your dog to attend a class. Before you choose your trainer you should follow a checklist. For instance, you should find out how long the person has been training, and how many animals has that trainer instructed. You should also ask them how they keep up with the current knowledge in the field. One last item is to check their training method. Do they use toys and rewards, or do they verbally explain their disappointment to the effect that it can cause lasting damage to your dog. Then, research trainers in your area who follow the same philosophy that you prefer. After this, word of mouth is the best resource when finalizing your pet trainer. “Once the basics of training are learned, these techniques can be applied at home and expounded on,” Eckman said. “Books can also offer great advice. Online information is also available, but I am skeptical of these due to the large amount of misinformation that can be given over the internet.” Owners should remember that dogs are all different. It is important to understand the needs of your dog so you can match them with the best trainer. It is also important to be patient with your dog, as they all learn at different rates. If understanding, patience and knowledge are in play, obedience training can be very rewarding for all dogs and owners.

At a recent training event in a small, rural community in South Dakota, I asked the new GEMS* Counselors what qualities they thought were important in children’s ministry volunteers. Various answers were given, all good and right. Mentors should be considerate, kind, prepared, prayerful, lavish in love, grace-filled and good THE BACK PORCH listeners. When one woman By Lenae Bulthuis answered, “Be joyful!” I smiled. The day before I viewed an online video clip of Ken Davis, comedian and author of the inspiring book, “Fully Alive.” Davis’ joy is contagious and he’s baffled by people who have been followers of Jesus for 20-plus years and yet walk around with a face “that looks like they swallowed a profusely sweating toad.” Davis said he’s tired of these swallowed-a-toadfaced people.

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent Fifty years ago, a cookbook appeared on bookshelves nationwide that was one of a kind. Instead of bubbling with an exhausting culinary enthusiasm, “The I Hate to Cook Book” celebrated those who found cooking a heinous chore to be avoided at all costs. Author Peg Bracken embraced her inner self, wrote a hilarious cookbook and became a fixture in 1960s70s kitchen, right up next to Julia Child and “The Joy of Cooking”, bringing a welcome dose of blasphemy to stodgy American kitchens. The publication of the 50th anniversary edition of “The I Hate to Cook Book” (Hachette Book Group Inc.) had me reminiscing and chuckling all over again. The 1960s was a time of women’s liberation, civil rights, public foment, demonstrations in the streets. Bracken decided to have a riot in her kitchen. She writes of fine cooking: “Not only are there pleasanter ways to shorten your life, but, more important, your husband won’t take you out for enchiladas if he knows he can get good enchiladas at home.” Smart. And of women who hate to cook: “We don’t get our creative kicks from adding an egg, we get them from painting pictures or bathrooms, or potting geraniums or babies, or writing stories or amendments, or, possibly, engaging in some interesting type of psychoneuro-chemical research.” Revolutionary. And of inventiveness in the kitchen: “Sometimes there isn’t much in the house except bacon and eggs. In that case, you can have Bacon and Eggs.” Ingenious. If you can’t completely avoid the kitchen, it’s important to get out of there as quickly as possible. Bracken’s recipes will do that for you, and you might even get a cocktail for your trouble. “These recipes have not been tested by experts,” she writes. “That is why they are valuable. Experts ... can make anything taste good. But even we can make these taste good.” ■ A simple side dish of Raisin Rice will provide the base to many a meal, particularly of the Mediterranean/curried/Indian-type. Or you could add leftover meat or what-have-you to make this a meal in itself. The Norwegians among us will probably try to add sugar and cream and call it breakfast, due to the raisins, doncha know. Raisin Rice (Good with Anything Curried) 1 1/2 cups uncooked rice 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup onion, thinly sliced 1/4 cup slivered almonds 2 tablespoons butter 1/4 cup seedless raisins Cook the rice and salt according to directions. While it cooks, sauté the onions and almonds in the butter See COOKBOOK, pg. 25A

■ I love the next recipe because, with both whiskey and ice picks involved, there is a good chance of something interesting happening. “Also, it has a rakish sound that is rather intriguing,” Bracken writes. Not to mention it stays edible for an ungodly long time, like fruitcake.

■ About vegetables, Bracken advises: “In order to make most vegetables fit to eat, you must cover up the basic taste of the vitamins with calories. You use butter, oil, sour cream, nuts, chopped bacon, mushrooms and cheese ...” And here is her Sour Cream Cabbage,
Sour Cream Cabbage 1 firm green cabbage 1 egg, well beaten 2 tablespoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg Salt and pepper 1 cup sour cream Shred the cabbage fine, and throw the core away. Cook it up in as little water as possible until it’s tender — five to 10 minutes. Drain it, then add the other ingredients, mixed together, and put it on a low burner to heat through. ■ While Bracken did indeed produce this cookbook, she warns about its overuse. Above all, remember her parting words about these recipes: “For, while they’re all good and easy, still it is more trouble to make them than not to make them.” If your community group or church organization has printed a cookbook and would like to have it reviewed in the “Cookbook Corner,” send us a copy to “Cookbook Corner,” The Land, P.O.

Grain Outlook Corn teases range low
Livestock Angles Grain Angles November not Weather unknown positive for meats future factor
The following market analysis is for the week ending Nov. 9. CORN — Corn teased the low end of the range we’ve been in since the beginning of October, but was able to hold above the $7.32 1/4 low after a neutral November U.S. Department of Agriculture crop report and in spite of an impressive sell-off in soybeans. One factor providing support was the sale of 500,000 metric tons of U.S. feed grade corn sold to Japan for January-to-March shipment. This comes as Brazilian port congestion delays shipments and in spite of Brazilian corn trading at a discount to U.S. PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. origin. That discount has shrunk St. Paul from $50 per ton a month ago to closer to $20/ton currently. There were reports that 900,000 mt of July-to-September Brazilian shipments to Japan were delayed into the current quarter. Japan imports approximately 2.7 million tons of feed grade corn per quarter, making it the world’s largest corn importer. Brazil’s corn exports for September to November are forecast to be record large. Their pace is expected to wind down as their export focus switches to soybeans early next year. Low water levels on the Mississippi and Missouri rivers are quickly bringing into question the ability of barge traffic to continue from St. Louis to Cairo in the near future. Water flow from the Missouri River into the Mississippi may be cut partially or entirely after the worst drought in 56 years hit the United States. According to the Army Corps of Engineers, the Missouri River accounts for 60 percent of the water in the Mississippi River between St. Louis and Cairo.
The beginning of November has not produced a positive picture for the livestock markets. Both the futures and cash markets have turned lower as demand has become the main issue in the pricing structure as we begin the month. The cattle market saw cash prices sag over the past few weeks, despite the futures attempting to rally. With beef cutouts moving toward record highs , the volume in the boxed beef trade began to shrink. Throw in a perfect storm that moved into the heavily populated East Coast and the disrupJOE TEALE tions in the logistics in transBroker portation caused by the storm, Great Plains Commodity beef demand really slowed. The Afton, Minn. problem continues to be the fact that when the beef cutouts move over $190 per hundredweight basis choice, the demand for beef products begins to subside. The fact that the number of cattle is lower than in previous years has not been able to force the consumer to pay the higher prices for beef. It has been reported that restaurants are reporting a slowing in patrons which suggests that because of the dismal economy, people are not able to eat out as often. This is a direct reflection that demand remains the main factor affecting beef prices. Because of the fewer cattle on feed and the diminishing consumer demand, it is quite likely that the struggle will continue and cattle prices will remain in a virtual trading range until there is a change in the supplydemand equation. Therefore, producers are urged to keep aware of market conditions and protect inventories when appropriate.
With the East Coast getting blasted by hurricane Sandy, many in the Midwest were hoping for some much needed moisture to help replenish the soil profile. That did not happen. The weather forecasts seem to be one of the few fundamental aspects of the grain markets that haven’t been ground to a pulp by the trade. How many different ways can we talk about how tight the U.S. and world ending stocks will be? Yet, the future weather is an unknown fundamental factor. TOM NEHER The weather in South America is AgStar VP & Team Leader either too wet or too dry, depend— Grain Industry ing what part of the region one is Rochester, Minn. farming. The Southern Plains states remain dry and the newly planted winter wheat struggles to get established before it goes into dormancy. This seems awfully early to be talking about a weather market, yet that is one fundamental factor that remains unknown. There continues to be strong commercial interest in owning grain but the inverted market makes it more costly to store grain, so many remain on the sidelines or only step in as buyers when prices challenge support levels on the technical charts. Investors have lost interest in grain, as the markets chop around grinding lower on the charts. Have we become desensitized to the bullish fundamental factors in the grain markets? Has the early harvest caused the industry to wrap up their business for the year, preparing for the holidays?

Ag economist: Seed prices going up, but so will revenues Farmers will pay significantly more for the seed they’ll plant in 2013 but make up for it with higher returns on their investment, predicts a Purdue University agricultural economist. Prices for corn seed are expected to rise 5 to 7 percent, 7 to 10 percent for soybean seed and more than 10 percent for wheat seed, said Alan Miller, a farm business management specialist. That would mean a bag of corn seed would sell for between just under $200 to more than $300, depending on whether it is a conventional or biotech variety. Soybean seed would go for about $50 a bag, with wheat seed priced in the low $20s per bag. “Seed supplies could be tight,” Miller said. “This is especially a concern with soybeans, because farmers might surprise the seed industry by deciding to switch to planting more
beans next spring.” Miller said.

rotation corn on average-yield soil would generate $560 in crop returns above variable costs per acre in 2013. Rotation soybeans would bring in an estimated $466 an acre on averageyield soil, with wheat generating $372 per acre on that same type soil. If realized, those margins would represent an increase in revenue from this year of 24 percent for rotation corn, 17 percent for rotation soybeans and 51 percent for wheat. “The economics at current prices for next fall are very good, even with the higher cost of seed and some of the other inputs,” Miller said. “I’m expecting a good opportunity for profits, if we can avoid another drought.” This article was submitted by the Purdue University Agricultural Communications Department. ❖
Hogs recover nicely lately The hog market has seen a nice recovery over the past month or so. It now appears to be running into resistance in the mid $80s/cwt. basis lean. As the pork cutouts approached the $90/cwt. level, the volume in the pork trade began to slow, which like the beef, indicated a reluctance by the retailer and the consumer to pay the higher prices. Once again demand is dictating the limits on how high prices will go. Considering the fact that the amount of
pork in cold storage is abundant and hog number are adequate, a setback in cash prices could be in the offing in the next several weeks. Seasonally, as we move into the holiday season, prices generally find some weakness into December. Because of the disparity between pork and the other competitive meats, the hog market could drop into a trading range between the September lows and the recent highs. Considering this possible scenario, producers should monitor the market and take protection when necessary. ❖
“Where Farm and Family Meet”
Holiday markets tend to be ‘thin’ or lightly traded NEHER, from pg. 26A It very well could be that we will see a lightly traded “holiday market” for the rest of the year. Or could an early weather market, start an early “war of acres” type of market? The thing to remember about “holiday markets,” is they tend to be “thin” or lightly traded. In this type of market environment, a surprise can cause exaggerated responses. If you have any buying or selling ideas that you think are wild or impossible to get filled, I encourage you to place them in the market as open orders. You never know, they just might get filled. The hours of daylight are getting shorter, the mornings are frosty and the deer in the woods behind my house are starting to move in larger groups.
They have ravaged my wife’s flower beds and eaten the plants that they would not touch a month ago. This is the time to prepare for winter and the deer seem to know that the Minnesota state holiday call “deer season” is upon us. For many families this is a time of tradition and family reunions. The western Kansas Neher family were not much into hunting; my Dad and Grandpa were more interested in having us working on the farm. I have enjoyed learning about the excitement that deer hunting brings to many of my friends and neighbors. My hope and prayer is that you will have a safe and successful hunt this year. ❖
Lower river levels mean reduced barge capacity MARKETING
at $14.51 1/4 per bushel after trading from $15.24 1/4 to $14.49 during the
week. Disappointing weekly export sales of 6.8 million, the lowest of the current marketing year, lent additional pressure. Keep in mind total export commitments are 36 percent ahead of last year. The bearish November crop report pegged bean yield at 39.3 bu./acre, up from 37.8 bu./acre last month and versus the average estimate of 38.2 bu./acre. Production at 2.971 billion bushels is up 111 million bushels from October’s 2.86 billion figure and 80 million higher than the pre-report estimate. While this is the smallest crop in four years, it is 337 million bushels more than we expected just two months ago. This makes the case that we won’t need to do as much rationing as earlier projected. Exports were increased 80 million bushels to 1.345 billion bushels and crush was upped 20 million bushels. Ending stocks edged higher to 140 million from 130 million last month and compared to the 133 million bushel prereport estimate. The USDA pushed world ending stocks from 57.6 mmt in October to 60 mmt this month. Both Brazil’s and Argentina’s production estimates were left unchanged at 81 mmt and 55 mmt respectively. Informa Economics’ updated balance sheet for 2013-14 looks for planted acreage of 80.1 million acres, 43.8 bu./acre yield, and production at 3.459 billion bushels. Their ending stocks number comes in at 358 million bushels which would be 218 million bushels higher than the 2012-13 crop year. Soybean basis has firmed with falling future prices and the grower totally disengaged due to unattractive flat prices. Producer sales are forecast to be minimal unless prices rebound.
Crush margins are decent which should mean basis and futures will both need to do some work to entice producer selling. South American weather has improved over the last week or so, northern Brazil has received needed rain while southern and central areas have had drying conditions. Safras estimates 54 percent of Brazil’s bean acres are planted versus 51 percent on average. Argentina may see acres switched from corn to beans since their weather has been too wet in areas for corn development or to get planted at all. OUTLOOK: Soybeans suffered this week under expectations for increased carryout, poor weekly export sales, a stronger U.S. dollar and weaker equity markets. With the bigger ending stocks number, the pressure to ration this year has subsided, or has it? Soybean demand is expected to recover and pull prices with it as the carryout is still tight, but in the short term the support is lowered to $14 and resistance to $15.25 to $15.55/bu. Looking ahead, assuming South America’s bean crop will be adequate and U.S. yields improve; have your strategy in place for your 2013-14 crop. The market will be driven by South American developments and outside factors through the end of the year. Keep in mind that soybean production has increased between 35 million to 80 million bushels from the November to final report in four of the last five years. This may make buyers cautious. On the other hand, history shows that January soybeans have rallied from the day of the November report to the end of the year for the last 10 years. The average gain is 40 cents. Volatile and choppy may best describe short-term direction. This material has been prepared by a sales or trading employee or agent of CHS Hedging Inc. and should be considered a solicitation. ❖

pass last year. Informa is forecasting U.S. 2012-13 ending stocks at 474 million bushels due mainly to higher ethanol usage than the USDA is projecting. For 2013-14, Informa is pegging production at 14.641 billion bushels using 97.7 million planted acres (96.9 this year) and using a preliminary trend of 162 bu./acre yield. Ending stocks of 2.055 billion bushels would be the third highest since 1990. OUTLOOK: The $7.32 1/4 to $7.69/$7.76 range remains intact, albeit we came close to testing the low this week. After a wide $7.55 to $7.33 weekly trading range, December corn closed down 3/4 cents at $7.38 3/4 for the week. Based on expectations for a larger carryout next year, consider setting your sales targets for the 2013-14 crop year, if you haven’t done so already. Corn may be stuck in its recent range until the end of the year as growers are disengaged. Price action surrounding the Thanksgiving holiday: on the Wednesday before the holiday December corn has closed higher six out of the last 12 years and higher four times out of the last five years (we were down 10 1/4 cents last year). For the Friday after the holiday: we have closed higher five out of the last 12 years, and only two out of the last five years. As to the post-November crop report direction, March corn has rallied from the day of the report to the end of the calendar year six out of the last seven years with last year the exception. SOYBEANS — Soybeans broke lower again this week, plummeting to their lowest level since June in anticipation of and in response to a bearish monthly crop report. January soybeans closed lower in five of the last six trading sessions and have wiped out nearly all of the droughtinspired gains of the summer. January soybeans collapsed 75 1/2 cents to settle

NYSTROM, from pg. 26A Due to the drought, it accounted for 79 percent of the water this season. Flows could be affected as soon as early December. Dredging has been going on to keep navigation open. Barges lose 100 tons of capacity for every six inches of draft they lose. Basis values at the Gulf have remained strong to get commodities to move before drafts are reduced or worse. If users can’t ship river stocks, they may be unwilling to stop futures and take delivery, usually resulting in wider spreads. Weekly export sales were poor yet again this week at 6.2 million bushels. Japan did buy 152,000 mt of corn for the 2013-14 crop year. Weekly ethanol production was up 2,000 barrels per day to 827,000 barrels per day. The monthly USDA crop report pegged the U.S. corn yield at 122.3 bushels per acre (122.1 estimated), up from 122.0 in October with harvested acres left unchanged. Production was up 19 million to 10.725 billion bushels when 10.629 billion was anticipated. Corn imports were increased from 75 million bushels to 100 million. The nonethanol Food, Seed and Industrial usage was raised 17 million bushels while ethanol use and exports were both left unchanged at 4.5 billion bushels and 1.15 billion, respectively. Leaving the export line alone was interesting since weekly exports are running 48 percent behind last year and year-on-year exports are projected to only be down about 25 percent this year. Ending stocks of 647 million bushels were up 28 million bushels from last month and versus 635 million estimated, bringing the stocks-to-use ratio to 5.8 percent. World ending stocks were raised slightly from 117.3 million mt last month to 118 mmt this month. Informa updated their 2012-13 and 2013-14 balance sheets this week.

This column was written for the marketing week ending Nov. 9. The U.S. Department of Agriculture raised its 2012 milk production estimate in its latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report issued Friday morning due to higher estiMIELKE MARKET mated milk per cow in third WEEKLY quarter. By Lee Mielke Production forecasts for the remainder of 2012 and 2013 were unchanged from last month. Look for this year’s output to hit 199.7 billion pounds, up 100 million pounds from last month’s issue and compares to 196.2 billion in 2011 and 192.8 billion in 2010. Output for 2013 remained at 199.7 billion pounds. Fat basis exports in both years were reduced largely on lower butterfat exports. Skim solids exports were raised largely due to whey protein product sales. Cheese prices were forecast lower in 2012, but unchanged for 2013. Butter prices for both 2012 and 2013 were lowered as butter stocks were forecast higher than last month. Nonfat dry milk was forecast higher for both years. The whey price forecast was unchanged for 2012 but was raised for 2013. The 2012 Class III milk price was unchanged from last month’s estimate, at $17.55 to $17.65 per hundredweight, down from $18.37 in 2011 but compares to $14.41 in 2010. The 2013 projection was raised a dime on both ends of the range and is now expected to averaged $17.85 to $18.75. The Class IV price forecast was lower on weaker butter prices. It’s projected at $15.95 to $16.15, down a nickel from last month’s estimate. The 2013 estimate was put at $16.90 to $17.90, up 15 cents on both ends from a month ago. Higher whey and nonfat dry milk prices in 2013 push the Class III and Class IV price forecasts higher, according to USDA. Hurricane Sandy had little effect on cheese plants in the Northeast, according to USDA’s Dairy Market News. Most plants received near normal milk intake volumes with only minor, periodic power outages. Nationwide, recent Chicago Mercantile Exchange price gyrations, coupled with price levels, were causing some buyers to change ordering plans as well as some plants to modify production schedules. ■ Cash cheese, like most Republicans, was down the day after the election.

Central U.S. milk production mostly unchanged “While USDA does not report SMP production by state, it is logical to assume some of California’s decline in NDM production was due to increased SMP production,” Ledman said. In total, combined U.S. production of NDM/SMP was 128 million pounds, down 8.2 percent, or 11.4 million pounds, versus last year’s strong production level but still the second highest September production level of the past seven years. California reported stronger year-
over-year butter production in September, which supports the assumption that much of the increase in U.S. SMP production occurred in California, she said.

milk pricing regulations and joining the federal Order pricing system. Dairy Farmers of America-Western Area and Land O’Lakes have joined CDI in the study and have contracted with the University of Wisconsin’s Mark Stephenson and Penn State’s Chuck Nicholson to perform the fivemonth study and assess what can be expected by replacing the state milk marketing order with a federal counterpart. Meanwhile, the California Department Food of Agriculture released a joint petition on Nov. 5 from Land O’Lakes, California Dairies, and Dairy Farmers of America-Western Area Council requesting an emergency hearing to review the whey valuation in the Class 4b milk price formula. The request is for a 12-month change to the whey portion of the formula to increase the dry whey scale to “represent the full value of whey as contained in the federal class III pricing formula.” The CDFA has 15 days to respond to the petition. ■ While we’re in California, Daily Dairy Report editor Mary Ledman reported in her audio Daily Dairy Discussion on her website that lower milk production in California resulted in lower cheese production. The USDA reports that California milk production totaled 3.18 billion pounds in September, down 3.9 percent, or 128 million pounds, versus last year. California cheese production took the brunt of the state’s lower milk production. California cheese production at 170.1 million pounds was down 10.9 million pounds from September 2011. In other words, 85 percent of the decrease in California’s milk production translated into lower cheese production. California is the second-largest manufacturer of cheese in the United States following Wisconsin, which reported an 8.7-million-pound increase in production during September but not enough to offset California’s lower output. California nonfat dry milk production was also lower in September, Ledman said, but could be due to a shift of milk into skim milk powder production. California NDM output of 40.4 million pounds fell 27.4 percent, or 15.3 million pounds, from prior-year levels. However, SMP production totaled 43.6 million pounds, up 22.6 percent, or 8.1 million pounds.

MIELKE, from pg. 32A The USDA reports that farm milk duction is moving seasonally higher in the Southeast. Loads imported into Florida dropped from 117 the week of Oct. 22 to 39 the following week, as evidence of the rising milk production. Milk production in the Southwest is steady to moving higher, but tempered by dairy rations built to mitigate costs rather than maximize milk production. The Pacific Northwest was experiencing late-fall rains and mild temperatures, with little effect on milk output. Central production is mostly unchanged in the northern tier of states, but shifting higher in the southern tier. Commercial disappearance of dairy products in the first eight months of 2012 totaled 134.9 billion pounds, according to USDA data, up 2.7 percent from 2011. Butter was up 4.4 percent; American cheese, up 2.2 percent; other cheese, up 2.3 percent; nonfat dry milk up 36 percent; but fluid milk was down 1.8 percent. Checking things globally, the tradeweighted average for all dairy products and contract periods in this week’s Global Dairy Trade gained 1.1 percent compared to Oct. 16 prices, reports FC Stone’s eDairy Insider Closing Bell. The average for whole milk powder fell 2.5 percent but average prices for other products rose. Rennet casein gained 9 percent; butter milk powder, 7.3 percent; anhydrous milk fat, 5.3 percent; skim milk powder, 3.9 percent; cheddar cheese, 2.5 percent; lactose, 1 percent, and milk protein concentrate, 0.5 percent. The GDT cheddar cheese average price rose to $1.3776 per pound, regaining part of the 9.9 percent drop in the previous event but well below U.S. CME prices. Looking “back to the futures,” with the announced Class III plus the remaining two months, the last half 2012 federal order Class III milk price was averaging $19.13 on Sept. 21, $19.15 on Sept. 28, $19.27 on Oct. 5, $19.40 on Oct. 12, $19.27 on Oct. 19, $19.31 on Oct. 26, $19.34 on Nov. 2, and was trading around $19.11 latemorning Nov. 9. ■ In the latest from the “Wild wild West,” California Dairies Inc., the largest member-owned milk marketing and processing cooperative in California, has commissioned a study of the impacts of California adopting federal

revenue of $1,140 (152 bu./acre. x $7.50/bu.). By comparison, that same farm unit insured by an 80 percent RP-HPE policy with a 190 bu./acre APH, would have a final guaranteed revenue of $863.36 (152 bu./acre x $5.68/bu.), a difference of $276.64 less than the RP policy. Refer to Table 1 for more details and calculations. For corn and soybean producers in the Midwest, RP policies are the most prevalent, due to the potential for enhanced revenue protection with higher harvest price levels, as well as having a minimum revenue guarantee established by the March 1 base price levels. Some farmers may have chose the YP or RP-HPE policies for 2012, due to the lower premium levels. However at comparable coverage levels, most YP indemnity payments will likely be 20 to 25 percent lower than the indemnity payments from comparable RP policies. In many cases, there may be no indemnity payment or reduced indemnity payments for comparable RP-HPE insurance policies. Even though calculations for RP policies are revenue-based, the standard RP insurance policies function similarly to a YP policy when the harvest price is higher than the base price, such as is the case for corn and soybeans in 2012. This is because the increase in harvest price increases both the final revenue guarantee and the value of the harvested bushels. So with RP policies, for final harvest yield levels

For example, a farm unit with a 190 bu./acre APH corn yield (proven yield), insured by an 80-percent RP policy, and a final harvested yield of 130 bu./acre, would receive an estimated RP crop insurance payment of $165/acre (22 bu./acre x $7.50/bu.), before premium reductions. By comparison, that same farm unit insured by an 80-percent YP policy, also with a final harvested yield of 130 bu./acre, would receive an estimated YP payment of $124.96/acre (22 bushels x $5.68/bu.), before premium reductions. Refer to Table 1 for more comparisons. There is also a large variation in crop insurance indemnity payments for 2012 depending on whether the farmer is utilizing “optional” or “enterprise” farm units for their crop insurance coverage. This will especially be a factor in Minnesota, where corn and soybean yields were higher than in many other Midwest states. Producers who have 2012 crop losses on individual farms, and have crop insurance coverage with “optional units,” may be able to collect crop insurance indemnity payments on their 2012 corn or soybean crop on some farm units, while not on others.

Meanwhile, producers with crop insurance policies with “enterprise units” in 2012, are probably less likely to qualify for 2012 crop insurance indemnity payments, unless they had crop losses on a significant portion of crop acres in a county. Due to the low corn and soybean yields in some areas, resulting from the widespread drought in 2012, there are likely to be more producers with “enterprise units” that qualify for crop insurance indemnity payments in 2012, as compared to previous years. Another variable for 2012 crop insurance indemnity payments will be the level of coverage that was selected. For example, a farm unit with a 190 bu./acre APH corn yield (proven yield), insured by an 85 percent RP policy, and a final harvested yield of 130 bu./acre, would receive an estimated RP crop insurance payment of $236.25/acre (31.5 bu./acre x $7.50/bu.), before premium reductions. By comparison, that same farm unit insured by a 75-percent RP policy, also with a final harvested yield of 130 bu./acre, would receive an estimated RP payment of $93.75/acre (12.5 bushels x $7.50/bu.), before premium reductions. Refer to Tables A and B for more detailed examples. Crop insurance companies are required to perform an automatic audit for any crop insurance claims of $200,000 or higher in total indemnity payments in a crop year, for a given crop in a particular county.
If the total indemnity payments will exceed $500,000, the insurance company must contact the RMA for possible involvement in the audit. These audits can delay crop insurance indemnity payments, especially if producers do not have the required documentation readily available. Documentation may include settlement sheets, yield records, etc., for the past three years, which must be verified to specific farm units. A reputable crop insurance agent is the best source of information to make estimates for potential 2012 crop insurance indemnity payments, and to find out about documentation requirements for crop insurance losses and for potential audits. It is important for producers who are facing crop losses in 2012 to understand their crop insurance coverage, and the calculations used to determine crop insurance indemnity payments. They should also be aware of the documentation that may be required in the event of a crop insurance audit, which will be required on claims of over $200,000.

The Minnesota State Cattlemen’s Association will be hosting the Minnesota Cattle Convention and Trade Show Dec. 7-8 at Arrowwood Resort near Alexandria. The convention will feature nationally renowned sustainability consultant Jude Capper from Montana on Dec. 8. Capper has released groundbreaking scientific results on the sustainability of the U.S. beef sector. Other special guests include National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Vice President Bob McCan from Texas. “I hope cattle producers in Minnesota and the surrounding areas take advantage of the great line-up of educational speakers we have assembled for this convention. In addition to the educational opportunities, this is a great way for our cattle community to come together to discuss issues confronting our livelihoods and make long-lasting relationships along the way,” said MSCA President Don Schiefelbein. “In a time where there are less and less cattle producers, it is more important than ever that we are organized and engaged in our producer associations. Participating in the Convention is a perfect avenue to do so.” On Dec. 7, the program includes informative topics such as an Upper Midwest market outlook from Tod Kalous from CattleFax; a seminar from Wade Shafer of the American Simmental Association on the use of crossbreeding to increase profitability; and Jessica Igo from the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association will be conducting a meat cutting demonstration

The first place winner was Zack Klaers of Arlington and the second place winner was John Morrison of Belle Plaine. They both earned scholarship awards for their scores. During the competition MCW President Penny Zimmerman went over materials on how to do a lesson plan, which is required on the state and national level when they do classroom presentations, by. Following the competition Susan Anderson and Joanne Buggey gave a short workshop to everyone on how to do a classroom presentation. While preparing for the Minnesota Beef Ambassador competition, contestants learn about beef and the beef industry with support from their families, MCW, Minnesota Cattlemen and the Minnesota Beef Council. Over this next year the team members are required to assist at consumer events, prepare classroom presentations, write a media article and complete the Master of Beef Advocacy program. During their farewell speeches, the 2012 team members expressed how grateful they were to have been on the team this past year and encouraged everyone to take advantage of all the wonderful opportunities to network and advance their knowledge of the beef community. The 2012 Beef Ambassador team learned numerous key messages that they used when talking to consumers about the misconceptions they had about the beef industry. Over the year, they were able to tell their beef story and what they did on their farms and ranches on a day-to-day basis to consumers across the state. They encouraged everyone to continue to advocate for the beef industry, as we have lots to be proud of and our voices need to be heard. ❖

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondents Tim King (story) and Jan King (photo)
he marks we leave in this life are T fleeting. And the faint trail we make may puzzle those who follow.
This is especially apparent just north of the intersection of Clearwater County Road 39 and Minnesota Highway 113. In less than 100 years a logging camp with a machine shop, store, bunkhouses, an office building and more — an entire small town — has largely vanished. On the east side of County Road 39, under 40-year-old red pines, a small mound of earth still exists. “It is probably the remains of a root cellar,” said Mike Magner, a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources archaeologist. Magner was studying the site because some pines will be cut soon. He wanted to determine if logging would have a negative archaeological impact on the logging camp remains. Present day loggers won’t disturb the root cellar, however, Magner determined. Across the road are two other artifacts. One is a modern historical marker. It explains that the logging camp operated from 1904 to 1918.
Old logging camp site, Clearwater County, Minn. A Civilian Conservation Corp. camp, known as the Long Lake or Headquarters Camp, was erected on the same site in 1933. Not far away, in the forest, is a stone chimney and fireplace. The outline of a small foundation encircles the stone structure. That’s all. All other signs of habitation have vanished. Magner has a 1940 aerial photo. The area is cleared of trees. The root cellar remains are visible. The camp is abandoned. There are, however, a number of buildings. One is 250 feet long,
Magner estimates. But when we saw him in mid-October, he hadn’t found records on the camp. “I can find no record of a CCC camp at this location,” he said. “It may have been a side camp operated by the nearby Lovelis Lake camp.” When we left the site we assumed that the fireplace, and the buildings on the photo, are from the CCC camp. That seems to be the implication of the historical marker’s information. And, after all, CCC workers were famous for their stone work.
A week later Magner discovered new information. The CCC camp was a tent camp. It lasted only from July 1 to Nov. 4. “I’m beginning to think that the standing chimney could be related to either the office or one of the residences,” he said. The 1940 buildings may be from the logging camp as well, he said. A small part of the memory of two generations of workers has been restored. ❖
