Mississippi churning; was it truly a conflict of interest? To hear Fred Stokes tell it, he got carried away “a mite” in a Kansas City press conference Aug. 10 with his explanation of a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Cattlemen’s Beef Board over the management of the beef checkoff. Noting that the Humane Society of the United States had done the legal digging to lay the founda-

tion for the suit, Stokes opined that “Every cowboy out there owes a deep debt of gratitude to the Humane Society of the U.S.” for its efforts to help the checkoff benefit all cattlemen. It was vintage Stokes, a career Army officer and founder and long-time official of the Organization for Competitive Markets: Anyone or anything that made

markets work better was always welcome. By the time he returned to his native Mississippi, however, he wasn’t welcome. On Aug. 13, Stokes, a district director for the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation, was en route to a state directors meeting when MFBF President Randy Knight telephoned FARM & FOOD FILE to say he wanted to see Stokes By Alan Guebert privately before the meeting. “He made it clear that I had crossed some line when I (The lawsuit,) acknowledged the I told ‘em, asks checkoff lawsuit and HSUS’s role in it,” USDA to run the Stokes related. “The checkoff board inferred that I according to its had conspired with rules. ‘Surely, HSUS in the lawsuit you can’t be and that was a ‘conflict of interest’ on my against somepart because Farm thing following Bureau supports its own rules,’ I checkoffs.” said. The lawsuit, “I told ’em, asks USDA to — Fred Stokes run the checkoff according to its rules. ‘Surely, you can’t be against something following its own rules,’ I said.” Little did he know how prescient that remark would become. On Oct. 24, Mississippi Farm Bureau notified Stokes of an Oct. 29 “hearing” in Jackson to discuss two complaints filed by state board members over his “conflict of interest” with Farm Bureau policy. Stokes came, with two attorneys, ready for a fight. One attorney, James Robertson, explained to the Mississippi Farm Bureau board that its own bylaws did not permit it to remove Stokes from office; in fact, only members who elected him to his state director’s post could do that. Then Robertson, reinforced by J. Dudley Butler, the former administrator of USDA’s Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration, and a longtime ag attorney from Yazoo City, Miss., explained that the group’s bylaws required some “exchange of financial interest” for a conflict of interest charge to have merit. “There’s nothing in this (checkoff) lawsuit that constitutes a transaction that Fred Stokes has with the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation,” Robertson observed. “Without that,” he continued, “you’re … letting your own values influence your judgment.” The lawyers’ better knowledge of Farm Bureau’s own bylaws carried the day. The state board, though, having neither the authority to remove Stokes nor cause — the conflict of interest charges were shown See GUEBERT, pg. 5

GUEBERT, from pg. 4 to be an empty device — allowed Stokes’ Farm Bureau future to be determined by members of the three-county district board he chaired. On Nov. 12, state prez Randy Knight took charge and chaired that district meeting in Meridian, to, as he explained at its start, “decide if they wanted Mr. Stokes to continue to represent them.” Whoa, not so, said Butler, again present at Stokes’ request. MFBF’s bylaws require “cause” for removal of a director and the Jackson meeting clearly showed there was none. So, he suggested, if this is just a “personality vote or a popularity vote, I don’t think it complies with the bylaws” either. Transcripts of the two hearings and other supporting documents are posted at www.farmandfoodfile.com. Another attorney, Ricky Ruffin, reinforced Butler’s point about “cause.” What are we doing here, Ruffin wondered, because “... if we are not

here for some kind of cause ... are we saying that we are going to kick this man off because we don’t like the way he parts his hair.” And that’s just what happened; the locals, acting in what Stokes and Butler claim was statecontrolled request and vote, cashiered him by 12 to 3 count, with two abstentions. Stokes expected as much. He then quit because “I had proved just how phony their charges were. They had no ‘cause.’ They just didn’t like what I said or thought, so they worked three months to get me and they got me.” It’s a foolish victory because, using the standard they set in removing Stokes, any one of them — or you — could be next for nothing more than how you part your hair. Or, of course, what you think. Alan Guebert’s “Farm and Food File” is published weekly in more than 70 newspapers in North America. Contact him at agcomm@farmandfoodfile.com. ❖

To the Editor: Every once in a while, I get an e-mail with a message something like this: “It is said that 86 percent of Americans believe in God. Therefore, I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a controversy about having ‘In God We Trust’ on our money and having God in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don’t we just tell the 14 percent to Sit Down and Be Quiet!!!” We should keep God in the Pledge and on our money. I don’t agree that we should tell the 14 percent to sit down and be quiet. If we tell them to sit down and shut up, do you think that our self righteous, judgmental, divisive attitude would attract the 14 percent to our amazing God? If the 86 percent who believe in God lived out our beliefs, our love of God and neighbor, in our homes, at church, at work, in our social lives and in politics, most of those who don’t know about our incredible God would come running to see what it is that makes us so fulfilled, so joyous, peaceful and forgiving. The reason a few blind leaders have such a powerful voice in this nation is because too many of us sit down and be quiet. We give them no clue that there is something that is much more worthwhile than the self-seeking, dog-eat-dog, competitive, divisive, publicly supported, materialist religion we call Capitalism.

can farmers to be competitive in international markets. So as we move away from the direct subsidy approach to a more market-based policy, the revenue sharing system of Federal Crop Insurance makes a lot of sense.

“When this is happening, the entire seed industry also benefits because agriculture is then a market-driven economy. Can seed companies do enough ‘winter increase’ to meet this market-driven economy? We think so.” Steve Wellman, American Soybean Association president, said, “Without a farm bill, the challenge facing growers is simply planning for 2013. It’s particularly critical for lending institutions which prefer, if not demand, business plans presented in black and white. And this uncertainty presents challenges to the seed industry as well.” ❖

Peterson: I am opposed to an extension of any kind. Reauthorizing the farm bill next year will only make the situation more difficult. The agriculture committees will have to start all over again and we will likely also have much less money available so the budget situation will be very difficult. Agriculture is projected to have a record net farm income year for 2012. How does not having a farm bill impact U.S. agriculture? Peterson: The 2008 farm bill expired Sept. 30 but the real impact of the expiration won’t be felt until January when dairy programs revert to permanent law from the 1940s. The permanent law provisions do not reflect modern agriculture so it is very difficult to understand what impact not enacting a new five-year farm bill will have. This is why it is so important to provide the certainty of a five-year farm bill. With direct payments now history, should Federal Crop Insurance continue as the major provider of financial protection for American farmers?

Peterson: I believe increasing market access is always a good thing and the agriculture committee’s farm bill includes programs, such as the Market Access Program and the Foreign Market Development Program that will increase the availability and viability of American products in foreign markets.

THE LAND, NOVEMBER 30, 2012

Jan. 1 could be agriculture’s most expensive day By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer In simple terms, unless Congress acts before the end of the year, come Jan. 1 the U.S. economy will fall off a “fiscal cliff.” Why? Because that’s when a number of tax breaks and government program spending will be cut in order to try to get the nation’s budget back on track. Sequestration is the buzz word. What does it mean? Because of a prior compromise agreed to by the White House and Congress, automatic spending cuts totaling $1.2 trillion over 10 years are set to activate Jan. 1. And yes, agriculture is also in the bull’s-eye. For example here’s what happens. • Estate taxes would go from $5.12 million in exemption and maximum 35-percent rate, to $1 million exemption and a maximum 55-percent rate. • No section 168 bonus depreciation available, which is currently 50 percent. • Section 179 business expensing would be reduced to $25,000 from the current $139,000. Farmers could expense up to $500,000 in 2010 and 2011. • Capital gains taxes would increase from 9 to 10 percent for those in the 10- to 15-percent tax bracket, and increase from 15 to 20 percent for those above the 25-percent tax bracket. Qualified dividends would change from a 15-percent tax and be reclassified as ordinary income. • Child tax credit would be reduced from $1,000

Understand that 86 percent of a farm’s assets are illiquid, leaving farmers and ranchers few options to pay for estates taxes. This means it becomes much harder for farmers and ranchers who are in partnerships with family members to pass on the farm to the next generation. — Matt Erickson, American Farm Bureau Federation economist

to $500. • Current tax brackets would change from 10, 15, 25, 28, 33, 35 to 15, 28, 31, 39.6 • Payroll tax will rise by 2 percent. Check this: The U.S. federal government spends around $3.5 trillion each year recently. But it has been collecting only about $2.5 trillion in revenue per year. Of this $3.5 trillion in spending, over 65 percent is classified as “entitlement spending”. That is spending that automatically occurs with or without Congressional action (e.g. food stamps, Medicare, Social Security). So what’s the impact of sequestration? It equates to around a 3-percent budget reduction in the overall budget, but a 9-percent budget reduction to “discretionary” or non-entitlement spending. What exactly does this mean for farmers and ranchers? According to the Nov. 5 Farm Bureau News, if

sequestration goes into effect all commodity and many conservation programs will be cut 7.6 percent in 2013. As for crop insurance, nearly all subsidies will be exempt from automatic cuts under the first year of sequestration but will likely come about in year two. Programs on the chopping block include agricultural research, education and Extension activities, food safety, some conservation programs, rural economic and community development, telecommunications and electrifications assistance, and various export and international activities. But the “biggie” will be the impact on estate taxes. It is estimated that one out of every 10 farms would owe estate taxes in 2013 if conditions dictate a transfer. With the average age of a farmer being 58 years old, exorbitant estate taxes would make it almost impossible for a family to transfer the farm to a willing, younger member. When estate taxes exceed cash and other liquid assets, surviving family members are forced to sell illiquid assets, such as land, building and equipment. “Understand that 86 percent of a farm’s assets are illiquid, leaving farmers and ranchers few options to pay for estates taxes,” said Matt Erickson, American Farm Bureau Federation economist. “This means it becomes much harder for farmers and ranchers who are in partnerships with family members to pass on the farm to the next generation.” Will Congress during this lame duck session get a farm bill done? Who knows? A main sticking point continues to be the amount of cuts to the nutrition program (food stamps, etc.) which comprise nearly 80 percent of farm bill funding. A classic example of how entitlement programs can mushroom is the food stamp program which has added more than 16 million people over the last four years. With a current enrollment at 46.7 million people, just this single program is costing around $80 billion annually. A big culprit in the larger food stamp enrollment has been expanded access to the program as called for in the 2009 economic stimulus bill, which waived certain eligibility requirements, including that recipients no longer need dependent children to be eligible for the program. Interviewed at Nov. 13 Minnesota Agri-Growth Council conference, Kevin Paap, Minnesota Farm Bureau president, said if this current Congress doesn’t get a farm bill done “we start all over again. It’s See CONSEQUENCES, pg. 13

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >> “Where Farm and Family Meet”

CONSEQUENCES, from pg. 12 not a matter of simply continuing on because with a new Congress in January it means many new members with little or no education about agriculture. We’ll have new hearings by the Senate and House ag committees and who knows what that might generate.” He reiterated that anything other than a new fiveyear farm bill is bad for agriculture. “This Fiscal Cliff is real. Yes, agriculture is on the firing line right now. If we go from $5 million exemption back down to $1 million, it can be financial disaster. Also if we go from a 35-percent tax rate up to 55-percent the hurt will be huge. We’ve got to have certainty in estate taxes. “If we want young people involved in agriculture, let’s keep capital gains stay affordable so people are willing to sell their land. If sequestration happens it’s going to be very ugly. Most of the heavy lifting has been done on the farm bill. So let Chairman Lucas and ranking member Collin Peterson guide it through. We know there will be amendments. But let’s get it on the floor and move forward. These elected officials owe it to agriculture, to rural America, to act. “Yes, some members of Congress right now are short-timers because they got defeated Nov. 6. Lame duck is the term; some suggest Mad Duck better fits their mood. Also, some who are coming back want to take another crack at it because they think they can do better. We need some certainty; that’s what Congress has to realize.” Also interviewed at the Agri-Growth forum, Brian Buhr, University of Minnesota Department of Applied Economics head, said, “we’re in a period of tremendous changes in demographics, climate, energy and the natural resource base of America and the world. We have to recognize this and act boldly. Private industry, though rich in ‘cash assets’, has gotten very timid about those things, and so has government.” He acknowledges that production agriculture will face tremendous pressure from the “anti-ag” groups who keep threatening such as bans on GMO foods. That was the issue in the California Proposition 37 which was narrowly defeated in the Nov. 6 elections. “Food prices, food costs are inherently a regressive tax. Anytime food prices rise, the lower income segment of our population is harmed. To the extent that technologies are safe, effective, available and proven we need to keep developing new technologies to keep pace with the expanding world population,” Buhr said. “When people are well-fed more money goes into investments in research, education and other positive externalities that benefit society. From my perspective I think we have to deploy even more technologies to improve our sustainability of the food chain, natural resources and environment. And that’s why I believe attacks on genetically engineered foods aren’t sustainable. If these attacks result in higher food costs, it will potentially create an economic backlash on a huge segment of our population.” ❖

Discovered family letters bridge years, continents By TIM KING The Land Correspondent GUTCHESS GROVE, Minn. — In the middle of the 13th century a German king gave land to some priests to create St. Vincentius Church and Abby. The abbot of the monastery needed to feed his monks so he told the people in the area they could live on the land if they provided the abbot with a measure of what they produced from that land. Among the serfs of that monastery was the Uphoff family. Abbey records for the Uphoff family date back to 1459. More than 600 years later two members of that far flung family were unknowingly sitting next to each other on a jetliner 25,000 feet above the Earth. One accidentally spilled a soft drink on the other. Apologies were made. A conversation began. “They discovered they were related to each other,” said Alice Siegle, another member of the dispersed Uphoff family. “They asked Peter to come and visit them.” It’s funny how these things happen. Alice’s father was an Uphoff and Alice grew up on the Uphoff farm near New Munich, Minn., in Stearns County. Neither of the Uphoffs in the jet knew about Alice or New Munich. But, through a chain of events starting with the spilled drink, they all got to know each other and discovered a remarkable set of letters. The letters were sent from New Munich to Bersenbr’iggenhagen at the end of the 19th century. The letters were in an attic in Woltrop, Germany. Walter, Peter’s father, was given them in 2004.

Alice Siegle, a member of the Uphoff family which traces its roots back to 13th century Germany, holds an old family Bible. An accidental meeting on an airplane brought disparate members of the Uphoff family together, starting a chain of events which led to the discovery of a series of letters between family members back in their homeland and others who settled in Stearns County, Minn.

Jan King

“The original letters were written in a fine, almost calligraphic-looking S’in script, which hardly can be read by the younger generation,” Walter wrote in a book of the letters that he compiled. Walter translated them from the old script into a German that could be read by modern Germans. Then he put them into a book form. “Dear Brother and Sister-in-law,” Bernhardine Uphoff K’r wrote to her family on Feb. 20, 1889. “We are all healthy and we are not lacking anything to eat. Almost everyone here is German and our neighbors are even Plattdeutsch (northern German). “As you have probably heard we have bought a large farm with 213 acres. One acre is 9 1/2 Scheffesaat (German acres). Of the 213 acres we plowed about 80 acres last fall without spreading manure. We planted wheat and oats this spring with a machine seeder. Then we left 15 acres fallow for corn and potatoes, where we can spread manure with a sled manure spreader. We have lots of animals in the barn and there is also a lot of manure here. We will probably remove it, because that’s what we do. “Further, we have four cows and we have slaughtered one. We have three large strong ones and two small one year olds. We have two large black horses. We have slaughtered four hogs and next year we will slaughter a fifth one. We have 32 chickens, two cats and one dog.” Bernhardine, or Dina as she signs her name, tells her family that she can see New Munich from her living room window and that her young son is in good health. Then she asks if they can borrow some money for them since interest in Amerika, as she calls it, is 8 percent. Alice Siegle grew up on that same farm. Her father was a son of August Uphoff ’s second wife, Mary. “I grew up in a large extended family,” Alice said. “We spoke German at home but I don’t remember it. It was a wonderful childhood. We played in the barn and hunted for the new kittens.” Alice grew up knowing little or nothing about Bernhardine and, of course, nothing about the letters. Walter found Alice and sent her the book of letters. “The letters came to me,” she recalled. “It was the neatest thing to get the letters. It opened new doors for me.” The letters were in German so Alice asked her friend Jim Downes, a retired high school German teacher, to translate them for her. Jim’s translations opened doors for him and Alice as well as anybody See LETTERS, pg. 15

They had not heard from Germany for two years, he said. Dina did not write again. On April 25, 1897 August did write. “It has been a long time since we have exchanged letters. This time I can’t share anything good with you because I must tell you our catastrophe that happened on the 12th of this month. My lovely, good wife died of a heart attack and very suddenly.” August normally writes long letters. This one is short. “I can’t go on writing,” he says. “I remain your brother-in-law.” There are no more letters in the collection. “That last letter took my breath away,” Alice Siegle said. Life went on and August married Mary and, in the next generation, Alice was born and the fields continued to be fertile on the Uphoff farm. And now, thanks to a spilled drink, members of the Uphoff family on two continents have rediscovered their connections to each other, and to August and Dina. ❖

“I gross-scored it at 206 points,” Holmin said of the non-typical rack sporting a distinctive drop tine on its left beam. “I believe it’s the largest nontypical deer ever taken in Nicollet County. I’ve been in business here for 31 years and haven’t seen a bigger one.” In fact, only a couple of Nicollet County bucks have ever been listed in the Boone & Crockett record book, including one other non-typical rack, according to Holmin. News of the trophy quickly attracted a stream of viewers that afternoon, including several of the bow hunters who had been targeting the deer in

recent weeks. Demarais, whose previous kills in the decade or so he has hunted deer include just a doe and a spike buck, expects no objection at all from Bethany about hanging the completed mount prominently in their apartment.

That last one is among the hardest of weanings, as we take our children to a place where we don’t know the world in which they’ll be living, hug them with perhaps a little more heart behind it than usual, and walk away from them — feeling much like those mama cows do when they are first separated from their babies. It’s awful. Except we cry quiet tears in the days and weeks that follow as our parenting

TABLE TALK, from pg. 16 They were on a search-and-reclaim mission. They wanted their babies. Over in the newly-assigned calf pen, they all came out of the shelter and walked over toward me, bellering and looking at me as if I could somehow do something about what was happening to knock their world on its heels. It was kind of fun to see them all walking toward me at first, until I realized that the look in their eyes was not just one that feigned longing and anxiety, but rather — perhaps asking of me a little more than I could deliver. “Hey! Mine don’t work anymore, you guys!” I assured them as they all stood there looking at me. I covered myself up a little more just to retain my human dignity. They were just out of luck, and they all walked away — dejected and deprived once again of that which had given them sustenance since the day they were born — if only from their own mothers. All I saw were tales flipping at me now. Lucky for them, I didn’t take it personally. Weaning the calves is a change of seasons. It means the harvest is nearing; it means it’s time to finish preserving fruits and vegetables from the garden; it means cool Friday nights at the football game and a time to give thanks as a family.

Grain Angles Time to plan for 2013

The following market analysis is for the week ending Nov. 23. CORN — December corn reversed to the upside in the holiday-shortened week, closing higher in three out of the four trading sessions. News was scarce, volumes were thin and growers were disengaged, making for relatively narrow daily trading ranges. Early week optimism was spurred by talk that a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff would be reached before the end of the year. The U.S. dollar began its descent off the news and continued to fall throughout the week. Trade chatter that corn sales PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. being delayed out of Brazil due to St. Paul port congestion would prompt switching to the United States was carried over from the previous week, although there hasn’t been any confirmation of such switching occurring as yet. Funds added to their net length this week after their long position had dropped to the lowest point since mid-July. After the Environmental Protection Agency denied requests to waive the ethanol mandate last week, this week’s ethanol production was down 13,000 barrels per day at 811,000 barrels/day. This was a four-week low for production, but annualized corn use is still on pace to meet or slightly exceed the 4.5 billion bushel U.S. Department of Agriculture projection. Ethanol stocks jumped from 752 million gallons last week to 795 million gallons. Imports were sharply lower versus last week in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, but Brazilian ethanol still works profitably into the United States. Reduced water flow from the Missouri River into the Mississippi River has begun. This plan had been

The first half of November has proven to be a rather quiet and lower month for livestock prices. Both the cattle and the hogs have seen the cash markets slip through the period with the futures markets lackluster and mixed in their trading. The cattle market seems to be dominated by the contrast between supply and demand. With the supply of cattle continuing to decline, most traders believe prices should be on the rise. However, with the beef cutouts above the $190 per hundredweight level basis choice, demand has shrunk to a mere crawl. With weights at all-time JOE TEALE high levels, the meat production Broker seems ample to meet the current Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. demand and thus the erratic to softer cash prices as of late. The economy has many in the industry and the consumer nervous about what lies ahead as we move into 2013. Given that competitive meats are more in line with consumers budgets, it would appear that the struggle between supply and demand are not going to disappear anytime soon. For the supply side, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released on Nov. 16 the Monthly Cattle on Feed Report. The findings are as follows: on-feed Nov. 1, 95 percent; placed in October, 87 percent and marketed in October, 103 percent. The report was seen as neutral as it was near or at pre-report estimates. Since this report did little to ignite the market in either direction, it is quite possible that the struggle will continue and cash and futures will continue to trade in a narrow range. Producers should remain aware of market conditions and protect inventories when necessary.

The hours of sunlight are getting shorter and the seasons continue to advance. This fall has been unusually mild and dry, allowing us to enjoy an early harvest. This gives us time to prepare for winter in a timely fashion and plan for the new year. This is the season to evaluate what worked well this past year and think about where we may make improvements for next year. It has been said that life is a journey.

Grower sales of soybeans ‘virtually non-existent’ NYSTROM, from pg. 19 previously announced, but how its effects will play out on river logistics is still a question mark. Drafts will likely be reduced, adding to shipping costs to the Gulf and requiring more freight to ship the same amount of bushels. If in some cases shippers are required to pay for a nine-foot draft, but can only load to an eight-foot draft, it makes calculating delivery equivalents more difficult to figure and compare. For now, we’ll just have to see where it goes. Huge weekly export sales of 30.3 million bushels were impressive. The corn market needed confirmation of a return of export business and this week provided it. New crop sales of over 7 million bushels were a surprise as well. This week’s combined old/new crop sales were larger than the last six weeks combined. Argentina’s corn is 50 percent planted versus 62 percent last year. There have been suggestions their corn acreage will be less than earlier expected due to rain-delayed planting conditions. In the United States, forecasters are in general cautious about next year’s U.S. weather. The drought of 2012 has not yet been broken. OUTLOOK: Little fresh news, strong exports, a weaker U.S. dollar and stronger equity markets collaborated to push prices back into the range we traded throughout October and the first half of November from $7.32 1/2 to $7.76 per bushel. From a technical standpoint, December corn closed above the 50-day moving average for the first time since September, suggesting a supportive tone. Support is reestablished at $7.32 1/2 with $7.55 as short-term resistance and $7.76 as longer-term resistance. For the week ending Nov. 23, December corn was 18 1/2

cents higher at $7.45 1/2 per bushel. December 2013 corn was 16 3/4 cents higher at $6.25 1/2 per bushel. SOYBEANS — On-going soyoil and soybean sales to unknown and China — in addition to the supportive economic tone, weaker dollar and higher stock markets — provided a friendly combination for the soybean complex. Including this week’s soyoil sales, we have 14 percent of the USDA’s total oil export projection on the books. China has switched from auctioning reserve soybeans to processors to raising prices offered to farmers to replenish reserves. In October, China imported 6 percent more beans than last year while year-to-date imports are up 17 percent. Oil World revised their South American soybean production lower with Argentina at 54 million metric tons, down 2 mmt from their previous estimate and as compared to USDA’s 55 mmt estimate. They lowered Brazil’s number from 82 mmt to match the USDA at 81 mmt. The fact they lowered their numbers was viewed as more interesting than the amount of the cuts. Other Argentine news: Argentina is on the verge of a huge default on interest payments on $20 billion due Dec. 15 after losing a court battle this past week. Argentine soy crushing workers are planning an indefinite strike. Argentina’s bean planting is estimated at 37 percent complete versus 47 percent on average. Funds were back on the buy side this week after their net long positions had fallen to their lowest

level since February, according to the COT report released Nov. 16 (the latest report was delayed due to the Thanksgiving holiday). South American weather has been fine, but the possible return of wet conditions to Argentina should be monitored. Weekly export sales were better than anticipated at 20 million bushels for old crop, but nothing for new crop. The highlight in the complex was the 124,000 mt of soyoil sales. Total oil sales are nearly 300 percent higher than last year. OUTLOOK: Grower sales of soybeans have been virtually non-existent for weeks with no hint of new sales and there are big commitments that will need to be met before South American supplies are available to ship. This should provide support under the market. Assuming the $13.72 1/4 was the seasonal low in January soybeans, the next resistance is $14.48 3/4 per bushel. If the weather turns unfavorable in southern Brazil and/or Argentina, this resistance could be broken to open the path to $15 per bushel. Further down the road, the market will also need a smooth start to South American shipping, and remember they are already seeing big backlogs and possible worker strikes. For the week, January soybeans were up 35 1/2 cents at $14.18 3/4, December soyoil was nearly 2 cents higher, and December soymeal was up $4 per ton.

TEALE, from pg. 19 The hog market has seen cash prices on a slide for several weeks now. The initial slide appears to have started as pork cutouts moved above $90/cwt., causing retailers to back away from the higher priced pork. Hog numbers have been adequate during this slide in prices and this has aided in the downward pressure. Demand versus supply appears to be a major factor as with the beef in determining what the cash price packers are willing to pay for live inventory. Packer margins have deteriorated over the past several weeks causing the packers to be more defensive in their bidding process.

If the supply of hogs remains at current levels and with the amount of pork in cold storage, it will be hard for the hog market to sustain any rallies at this time. However, if the pork cutout continues to fall much further, the retailer is likely to step in and acquire more pork product because of the competitive price relationship to other meats. This could help stabilize the prices going into the end of the year. Because of the nervousness by the trade and the public over the economy, hog prices are likely to be rather choppy and erratic for a time. Producers should stay on top of market conditions and protect inventories as needed. ❖

NEHER, from pg. 19

This is also the time to take note of our companions on this life journey. Relationships with our families, business partners, land owners, lenders, accountants and tax preparers need to be given the same attention we give to all of our other planning. The stronger these relationships become, the more resilient we are when challenges are encountered along the road. Relationships take work and maintenance to remain strong and viable. With all of this preparation, the journey tends be more enjoyable and successful. The bumps in the road don’t seem to be so hard to endure. Once we embark on the journey, we must give thanks for the many opportunities that we are given to enjoy the beautiful scenery as we traverse on down the road. ❖

milk is converted into cheese, the decline will take a little longer to manifest itself due to the two- to threeweek delay between the spot price and the AMS survey prices, she said, and may not be evident until December or the January milk check. “The reaction across the country could be quite different,” Dorland said. “We could see farms in the West continue to contract and, in the nearby, we could actually see farms in the Midwest expand milk production until they see those numbers come into their milk checks.” ■ Checking the cupboard, Oct. 31 butter stocks stood at 145 million pounds, down 26 percent from September but 11 percent above those a year ago, according to USDA’s latest Cold Storage data issued Wednesday afternoon. American-type cheese, at 581.7 million, was down 4 percent from September and 6 percent below a year ago. The total cheese inventory stood at 954 million pounds, also down 4 percent from September and 6 percent below a year ago. ■ In politics, the Environmental Protection Agency has denied a request to waive Renewable Fuel Standard ethanol mandates for the remainder of 2012 and 2013, saying the agency has not found evidence to support a finding of severe “economic harm” caused by the requirements. “We recognize that this year’s drought has created hardship in some sectors of the economy, particularly for livestock producers,” said Gina McCarthy, assistant administrator for EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation. “But our extensive analysis makes clear that Congressional requirements for a waiver have not been met and waiving the RFS will have little, if any, impact.” The decision is based on economic analyses and modeling done in conjunction with the USDA and U.S. Department of Energy. Economic analyses of impacts in the agricultural sector, conducted with the USDA, showed that on average waiving the mandate would only reduce corn prices by approximately 1 percent. ■ The National Milk Producers Federation and the U.S. Dairy Export Council praised the House of Representatives’ approval of H.R. 6156, which would establish permanent normal trade relations with Russia. A joint NMPF and USDEC press release reported that both have actively supported approval of PNTR with Russia as part of work

necessary to reopen that market to U.S. exporters. The release said the Russia dairy market has been closed to U.S. dairy products for more than two years due to Russian insistence on certain dairy certificate statements and accompanying facility inspection requirements that were not acceptable to the United States. “This is a significant step forward on the path to reopening one of the world’s largest dairy importing markets,” said Tom Suber, president of the USDEC. “USDEC has been working extensively to help provide a firm basis for restoring access for U.S. dairy exporters to Russia. More is needed beyond PNTR to achieve that goal but approval of PNTR is a vital piece of the puzzle.” “NMPF hopes that House action will help to spur swift action by the Senate to also approve PNTR with Russia,” said Jerry Kozak, president and CEO of NMPF, “so that we can move closer to reestablishing exports of U.S. cheese, butter and other products to benefit of America’s dairy producers. This is a major market with solid opportunities for our industry and it is critical to ensure we have the same access to it that our competitors around the world enjoy.” Both organizations also stressed the importance of a strong focus by the administration on resolving the ongoing dairy certificate and related technical requirements that currently block U.S. dairy shipments. NMPF and USDEC believe it is critical to continue to move forward with active and aggressive efforts to resolve these issues as Congress works to pass PNTR legislation. ■ Dairy Profit Weekly reports that the California Department of Food and Agriculture released its annual list of dairy product manufacturing costs, noting 2011 weighted average costs to produce butter and nonfat dry milk were down from a year earlier, but the cost to produce cheese was up. The 2011 average cost to produce cheddar cheese was 20.29 cents/lb., up 5.62 percent from 19.21 cents in 2010 and the highest cost per pound since 2008. It compared to 19.66 cents in 2009; 20.99 cents in 2008; 20.03 cents in 2007; 19.88 cents in 2006; and 19.14 cents/lb. in 2005. Lee Mielke is a syndicated columnist who resides in Everson, Wash.

THE LAND, NOVEMBER 30, 2012

Lefse rollers

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondent Richard Siemers

he World’s Best Lefse. That’s the claim that T emblazons every package of lefse sold by The House of Jacobs.

Dennis Jacobs and a half-dozen helpers turn out and ship thousands of rounds of lefse every year. About four years ago he gave up his Scandinavian gift shop in Willmar, Minn., and now concentrates on his lefse-making bakery in Spicer. He also sells mixes and lefsemaking equipment to those who want to do their own. Just last year he put a store front on his building so local folks can stop and buy their lefse and not have to pay shipping. “Our lefse is expensive,” Jacobs said. “We don’t cut corners. It’s all hand-mixed, and all hand-rolled.” Jacobs is grateful that his three lefse-rollers — Margaret, Carmen and Joyce — have stayed with him for a few years. They take each small, flattened scoop of dough and roll it into a large round, cook it and stack it. They roll 750 to 1,000 rounds a day. Starting in late-August, the small staff makes and freezes thousands of lefse rounds to meet the demand that comes in November and December with the holidays and the lutefisk dinner season. Jacobs’ lefse is so good he even ships to customers in Norway. “We’ve come up with a recipe that is easy to roll — soft and fluffy, but it holds together,” Jacobs said. “Commercial lefse is rolled by machine and requires more flour.” The only thing he does that the old lefse maker wouldn’t do is use a commercial potato granule. There is no way they could keep up with demand if they peeled all of their own potatoes. When the new year begins, production shifts to making the lefse mix he sells, the exact same recipe used at House of Jacobs. They also make a flatbread mix and a klub (potato dumpling) mix. he said. “That was on our first package.” So when did House of Jacobs earn the seal “The He set a high standard for himself, and since 1985 World’s Best Lefse”? Jacobs has strived to live up to it. He has no inten“We said that as soon as we started the company,” tion to expand. He’ll keep the business to a size it

The House of Jacobs, Spicer, Minn. can all be done by hand. After all, he doesn’t want to be the world’s biggest lefse maker, just the best. The company website is www.houseofjacobs.com. The store is located at 193 N. Highway 23 in Spicer, Minn.❖
