Some people are born adventurers — constantly seeking thrilling new experiences in exotic and often dangerous locales, thriving upon the hair’s breadth between sense and nonsense. I have a friend, also named Tom, who is such an adventurer. Practically any country LAND MINDS you can think of that has been ravaged by war, natural disasBy Tom Royer ter or political instability in the past 15 years, Tom has lived there, working with various humanitarian organizations to directly aid the people there. He takes his work very seriously, puts in tremendous hours, and when he gets a brief respite, he seeks thrilling new experiences in exotic non-dangerous locales. My goal in life is to be just like Tom ... except to skip all of that unpleasantness described in the first two paragraphs above. One step toward my goal came very recently, as I found myself fortunate enough to travel to New Zealand (see this week’s Back Roads on Page 40A for one example out of hundreds of amazing highlights) with my wife and another couple. What struck me was that while New Zealand was certainly very exotic, I still absolutely felt a comfort which put a scaredy cat like me at ease. Other than a brief visit to Vancouver, British Columbia, a decade ago, I’d never before left the comfort of the United States. (Apologies to my friend Tom, but his home and native land don’t really count.) When you look beyond the obvious and superficial differences — driving on the left side of the road, the colorful cash, the even more colorful accents — New Zealand actually has much in common with the Upper Midwest. Sure, we saw tremendous mountains, glaciers and oceans you won’t find here, but the beautiful rolling hills and green plains reminded me greatly of western Iowa and southern Minnesota. Livestock dominates, and with it great pastures and freshly cut hay fields, the smell of which brought me back home, though I was 26 hours worth of plane rides away. Another key, I think, was New Zealand’s friendly people. People talk about “Minnesota Nice” but the Kiwis may have that beat. Over the course of two weeks, every local within earshot (and you can definitely hear who’s a local) was smiling, chatty and incredibly personable. When everyone makes you feel at home, you sort of forget that you aren’t. Not real adventurous, I know, but I think I already

I have a teenage daughter. Other observations from our trip: • We had layovers in Los Angeles each way. LAX is absolutely massive. Our shuttle between terminals took about as long as the flight from there to Minneapolis. • The Virgin Australia flight across the Pacific was painfully long — nearly 14 hours — but at least they try to make it tolerable, with super swanky video touch screens for each seat, plus seat-to-seat texting, and wonderful food. My butt was still numb regardless. • I completely missed Thursday, Dec. 6, for all intents and purposes, departing Minneapolis on the 5th and flying forward across the International Date Line to the 7th.

Add New Zealand to your ‘bucket list’ MINDS, from pg. 2A room continues, despite the lengthy trans-oceanic flights. My body should be carefully researched by the medical community. • Customs is a giant pain in the kiester. • A guidebook we read about New Zealand said that tipping is not done there. I hope that’s true, because if not, we made a ton of waiters and waitresses angry over there. • We took a north island scenic train from Auckland down to Wellington, and then a three-hour ferry ride to the south island. The place we stopped at for lunch was playing Johnny Cash spirituals record. Ordered the hot lamb sandwich; “Yeah yeah, very Kiwi choice,” said the waitress. • Driving on the left side of the road isn’t the tough part. The tough part is remembering which lever is the turn signal and which is the wipers. • You can buy many fine New Zealand-made beers, and a great assortment of imports as well, but not once in any restaurant or grocery did I come across an American-made brew. Are New Zealanders that snobby, or are American beers that bad? (Note: I consumed many fine NZ-made beers. Exclusively for research purposes.) • You might have read in this issue an ag tourism story about a farm bed and breakfast we tried to stay at, but there was no one around despite all of the doors and windows being open and a vehicle sitting out front. This is both their and your loss; it looked like a very interesting place. (The motel we stayed at instead wasn’t anything to write home about, by the way.) • Glaciers are Cool. • Hour-long mountain drives on treacherous onelane gravel roads are not cool. • New Zealand is known for its sheep, of course, and if you’re a reader of Lee Mielke’s “Mielke Market Weekly” column in The Land you know it’s got quite a few dairy

cattle, too. The third-largest type of livestock production appeared to be deer, which is ironic because pigs are also popular — for hunting. There are at least three magazines published in New Zealand dedicated to hunting swine. (Hunters of wild pigs are a bit more sporting than their deer-hunting brethren here — the prey are always taken down by knife, not bullet.) • There are McDonald’s everywhere, but the menu is slightly different — they have a lamb burger, and they love putting beets on everything. I also saw several Pizza Hut, Subway and KFC establishments, and even a Kmart, but no Walmarts. • The kiwi bird has a very long beak and, unusually, nostrils at the very tip of it. Seeing as how they search for food by poking their beak into the dirt to uncover worms and whatnot, they are frequently heard sniffing and snorting as they try to blow the dirt out of their noses. True story. • I watched some rugby, and I would like to learn more about it. I watched some cricket, and I do not want to learn more about it. • Was surprised to see corn being grown in New Zealand; in fact, we drove past a Pioneer Maize Research Center on the south island. Who knew? • You have to look closely in the implement dealers’ trade-ins lot, but it’s possible to come across an occasional John Deere or International Harvester tractor or combine. Quite a few Massey Fergusons in New Zealand, however. Most of the “new” stuff I saw was Claas. • The city of Christchurch and the entire Canterbury region continues to recover from devastating earthquakes in 2010 and 2011. We saw blocks of rubble, roads still in tatters and countless abandoned homes. At the same time, we saw inspirational artwork and a vibrant community determined to not just return to what they were, but become a better city from the ground up. It is a tremendous story of destruction and rebirth, and I hope to return someday to see their next chapter. • You need to add New Zealand to your “bucket list.” I need to write it back onto mine.

Letter: Washington needs to let go of blind partisanship Seek Tax Deals, Governments Pay High Price” with startling evidence that government — national, state and local — provide benefits for corporations that results in little benefit. The board and CEO claim to be worth millions of dollars in salary and benefits and pay employees little, requiring them to turn to the government for assistance. If you do a statewide search you will find that Walmart benefits from such programs. These are “handouts” larger than we can imagine. Congress is owned by corporations, and members are beholden to benefactors. Consider the excesses of Wall Street, exorbitant bonuses and unbelievable salaries. Taxpayer money helped stabilize the economy while executives who put this nation in jeopardy, awarded themselves large salaries and bonuses. There is little desire to cooperate and compromise in Washington. We live in
a nation where the minority leader of the Senate announced that it was his goal to make the president a oneterm president. Now in 2012, will he be more conciliatory? I think not. We are in great danger of being torn apart in a rapidly changing world if we cannot work together. Among other things, that means jettisoning the “birther” thing. There is enough fault to go around. While President Obama has apparently recognized the problem of banking policies and Wall Street excesses, what has been done to provide any semblance of justice? Any statistic can be skewed to serve a political intent. There has been some of that on both sides of the political spectrum. We cannot maintain ground if we continue to throw mud. We must take control of the election process, making it fair, understand what controls Washington, and let go of blind partisanship. Patricia Buschette Renville, Minn.

It was my job in D.C. to work on behalf of agricultural interests, but perspective reminds us that over 97 percent of the population of this country does not understand agricultural policy and many refer to farm program payments as “handouts.” The Environmental Working Group website showing government payments receives a great deal of traffic.

To the Editor: The release of the new movie “Lincoln,” reminds us that there was a time that political, economic and social strains tore our nation apart. It was the arrival of The Land and Dick Hagen’s editorial on Nov. 23, that reminds us that our nation is once again being tested. There is much that Mr. Hagen says that bears more than a shadow of the truth. There is more of it, however, that is unfair and sees the world through the wrong end of a telescope. We live in a nation in which some claim we are losing our liberty and yet support a candidate for president who said about contraceptives: “It’s not OK. It’s a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be.” Not supposed to? Mr. Santorum brings to life the fictional novel “1984”.

Letter: Things will be fine To the Editor: Dick Hagen’s column, “What’s ahead for America?” was certainly his most stimulating column since his famous “I want a divorce” column. In his column, he expresses worry about the next four years. Let me ease Mr. Hagen’s mind. Here is what is going to happen in the next four years. • The economy will slowly improve. There will be rapid improvement if the Republicans cooperate. • We will be out of Afghanistan, ending the “Bush Wars.” • The federal deficit will be greatly reduced. • There will be significant immigration reform. • The nation will begin to improve its education system and infrastructure. Here is what happened in the last election. The twin strategies of the evil genius, Karl Rove, of voter suppression and flooding the air waves with attack ads failed. Of the candidates Karl Rove supported with hundreds of millions of dollars, 94 percent were not elected. Voters were willing to stand in lines as long as 12 hours to make their votes count. The courts ruled that many of the voter suppression rules, passed by the Republicans were unconstitutional. Joe Klein, the Republican columnist, stated that “What we’ve decided in this election is that most people are comfortable with a regulated free-enterprise system in which the government helps provide education and health care for everyone and financial support for those who need it moist, especially the elderly.” Dennis Dalman, another columnist, writes “For years, I’ve told good, rational Republican acquaintances they’d better stop courting the Looney-Tune extreme right or they’ll lose elections. And that is exactly what Romney did. He catered all too often to extremists, fear-mongers and demagogues. In rejecting Romney, a healthy majority of Americans also rejected right-wing radicalism.” Here is the good news, Mr. Hagen. Contrary to what the Republican Party says, the vast majority of Americans are not leeches. They are hard-working, honest people who want to hold good jobs or have profitable businesses and provide for their families. These Americans include the black, yellow, brown, women, old, young, homosexual, poor and middle class portions of our population that the Republican Party considers worthless. For the Republican Party it is all about money, a very unChristian attitude. As Hubert Humphrey once told me, “I know there are some welfare mothers who are taking advantage of the system, but anything they steal is peanuts compared to what the big boys steal.” Marv Jensen Kensington, Minn.

When I became the commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Agriculture in 2011, I resolved to continue the good work this agency had been doing with regard to international trade. Like other commissioners who came before me, I understood that Minnesota’s farm and food sector needed to expand its visibility and market share in the fast-growing international markets of Asia and Latin America. Two years in, I am pleased to say that we are making good progress. New figures from the Minnesota Trade Office show Minnesota exports of agricultural, mining and manufactured products reached a record $5.1 billion in the third quarter of 2012. State exports for the third quarter Dave Frederickson increased by 1 percent compared with the same period from 2011. This marks the eighth straight quarter of record exports in Minnesota. The MDA’s own economic studies show Minnesota’s agricultural exports hit a record $6.8 billion last year. This is up 13 percent or about $750 million over the previous year. Agriculture is well-established as Minnesota’s second-largest exporting sector, with major markets in China, Mexico, Japan and Canada. Minnesota now ranks sixth among all states in agricultural exports. These impressive numbers are due to a lot of hard work by a lot of people, and it all starts with our farmers and agricultural companies. The MDA’s role is to help the farm and food sector identify and develop market opportunities. This role is especially important in Asia, where cultures place great importance on face-to-face communication, and where government officials are seen as important ambassadors for the private sector. We have taken this role to heart, organizing five major Agriculture is trade missions since the beginning of last well-estabyear.

Let electronics do the feeding and managing of feed supply By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Called BinTrac, it’s a technology system featuring loadcells on jacks mounted on each leg of a feed bin. What happens? You have instant readouts on feed levels of every bin so equipped. Designed and marketed by Herdstar LLC of Mankato, Minn., the signature BinTrac product digitally and remotely measures and tracks feed bin weight and feed consumption. It can also alert producers of low feed levels and potential feed line malfunctions. Bin legs are equipped with patented, screw jacklike brackets that lift bins half an inch to weigh them and immediately sends the data to a website. “It’s an amazing system. With the pork industry being this tight right now it’s tough justifying the expense of a BinTrac system yet perhaps that is even more reason to do BinTrac,” said Dan Berkner, feed mill manager of Protein Sources in Mapleton, Minn. He said this bin monitoring technology brings tremendous safety into feed handling. It also precisely provides data on feed consumption per hour, or even more frequently. And you never run the risk of suddenly being out of feed at noon Saturday, with no feed delivery from the local mill until Monday morning. “Those are just a few of the benefits I’m seeing since we installed BinTrac into our feed handling system,” Berkner said in a telephone visit with The Land. Protein Sources installed their first BinTrac units about three years ago on a couple of test barns. “Getting away from climbing bins was the immediate attraction. Plus the accuracy and forecasting we
Kevin Schulz
Dan Berkner of Protein Sources in Mapleton, Minn., can keep tabs on the levels of feed bins without leaving the comfort of his office at the feed mill. can now do on feed needs really improves our overall efficiency,” he said. He uses a web-based monitoring system (www.BinTrac.com). “Our producers can log in for instant information on their feed inventories. And I can also log in to any of the sites we deliver feed to and know precisely when and where the next batch of feed goes. Also the precise amount of feed to be on that truck for that particular delivery. So it’s a tremendous assist for good and timely operational management.” Protein Sources currently delivers to a sow farm
with BinTrac equipped bins, plus two finishing sites also with BinTrac units. “If you have 12 bins on a site you can monitor all 12 bins if you have scales attached to the legs of each bin,” he said. The technology is amazingly trouble free. Perhaps the only error might be with ice piling up on the bin roof but the first sunny day usually takes care of that issue. Most bins on the Protein Source route are seventon bins adjacent to swine finishing barns but there’s also 12-ton and 15-ton bins on the sow farm. “You’re not limited to bin size. The bigger the bin, the more legs and thus the more weight units,” he said. When you’re dealing in the world of electronic technology there can be maintenance issues. However, only a few loadcells have gone out for Berkner. “But a phone call and their service technician has taken care of the issue. We have an active contract with them which provides service as needed.” Cost per bin for the BinTrac system depends upon the number of bin legs but figure about $1,000 for a four-leg bin, Berkner said. “Yes, that might be a bit expensive on first call. But the safety issue is so important, especially during the winter when ice builds up on the climbing ladder rungs. So I’d certainly recommend that this technology is something to look at. “The reporting and forecasting is important for me as a feed mill manager. I can log in to each bin site and find out for example that Bin 10 shouldn’t run out ’til 8 a.m. on Wednesday. It eliminates short loads. The monitors tell us that Bin 10 is using 1.1 ton per day but as pigs get bigger that floats up to 1.3 tons or 1.4 tons per day. This forecasting lets us be very precise in our delivery schedules and tonnages per delivery,” he said, adding that his feed truck drivers also appreciate the accurate information they have going out on each feed delivery route. “It’s an impressive system. When it becomes more affordable the cost-effectiveness of BinTrac will be that much better,” he said. Roger Matejka, a Martin County, Minn., hog producer already has nearly five years experience with BinTrac monitoring systems. With finishing barns at three different sites, the 600-head barns each have two, seven-ton bulk bins. A central site has three, 1,000-head barns each equipped with tandem, 16ton bulk bins. “I’ve been real pleased. The system is directly hooked into the web-based monitoring system of Farmers Coop Association at Jackson, which is my feed provider. They monitor every bin in my operation. They know exactly the feed levels in each bin so they can do fullload deliveries every visit to my farm. I don’t make any feed calls anymore. The co-op does it all,” Matejka said in a telephone visit Dec. 11. His operation is equipped with a “cell phone” antenna at his central site. The other two sites, each about a quarter-mile from the central site, transmit to the central site with hourly updates on the feed levels in each of the 12 bins. Each of the three barns at the central site is equipped with a readout monitor that does up to four bins with readouts recycling frequently. Matejka can check monitors on each bin as he does his chores, however, because his local co-op has a website and he has an access code so that site he can check feed status of his bulk bins on the internet See BINTRAC, pg. 12A

Alerts are sent when feed levels are unchanged over time BINTRAC, from pg. 10A from his home office. But the real pudding in his setup is that his local coop is constantly monitoring his entire feeding system. Thus this unusual comment from Matejka, “actually I haven’t ordered feed for about four years. The co-op is reading my bulk bin weights and delivering feed as necessary. I talk with Jeremy or David at the co-op maybe once a week just to check on medications in the feed. But feed scheduling to my place is strictly up to the co-op.” The biggest benefit from Matejka’s point of view is complete elimination of the chance of interruption of feed supply. “Before this system getting crops planted each spring and harvested each fall sometimes took priority over getting a call into the coop for feed delivery,” he said. Talk about “peek ahead” information
provided by BinTrac. His website information shows each bin site individually and the feed weights of that particular bin at that particular hour. Then based on feed usage in each bulk bin, the website provides an estimated time when that bin will be empty. Matejka said, for example, it will tell you that Bulk Bin 10 is estimated to be empty Monday at 8 a.m. The feed mill based on usage that week can then determine if they need to bring out feed or can they wait until Monday morning. The feed mill at the co-op has some advantages, too. If it’s a “slow day” at the mill they can quickly check feed supplies at Matejka’s farm and run some feed out to him even though he would have been OK until next week. “It lets us use our equipment and labor more efficiently,” said Jeremy Ebeling, feed operations manager.

Because Matejka did the BinTrac installations when the units were fairly new in the market, he thinks he got a bit of a deal. He recalls between $6,000 and $7,000 for all eight bins. Because some research and development was still in progress when his system was installed he reasons that might have favored a lower cost also. He worked with Moore Automation of Trimont, Minn., for the actual installation of the screw jack brackets and positioning of the load cells on each bin leg. With 10 bins (40 load cells) Matejka said only about two loadcells per year have to be replaced costing about $250 for installation. His system is setup on a six-hour timeframe. If there hasn’t been any change in feed weights of a particular bin in six hours, that tells him and the co-op that feed is bridged in that bin or there has been some malfunction. The BinTrac website then sends a text message “alerting me like ‘No feed usage in Bulk Bin 3 since 6 p.m.’ I’ll get another text message at 12 hours if the problem hasn’t been remedied; and another in 18 hours if the issue still persists. So that’s some terrific support regardless the day, regardless the hour,” Matejka said. Moore Automation also provides
electronic monitoring of feed lines. “I can push two buttons and get actual run time on a particular feed line for the past 24 hours. Right now the feed line is running for two hours and 10 minutes every 24 hours; on another barn it’s at two hours and 20 minutes. So this also tells you if you have a feed line problem. The two systems of Moore Automation and Herdstar are very complimentary to each other,” Matejka said.Mike Jaeger, Mapleton, Minn., area corn and hog producer has BinTrac units on four, 4 1/2-ton bins on his farm. He’s a pig finisher doing a couple thousand pigs per year in one finishing barn. Feed gets delivered weekly once pigs get some size. But with BinTrac, he’s no longer climbing any of his four bins. Perhaps a greater value for Jaeger is that the monitors quickly let him know when a pen of pigs goes off feed. His monitor is scanning each of the four bins on a prescribed schedule. For a quicker look he can push buttons and get right to each bin. Because the units are recording feed consumption on a daily basis, Jaeger said he can readily graph the performance of each batch of pigs.

Tom Koenig, maintenance manager for Gold’n Plump broilers, said his firm is installing BinTrac at a number of grower sites. The installation eliminates climbing bins three times a week, making it safer for the producer. On the last feed delivery for a flock, they can order just enough feed so that the bin will be empty when the birds are shipped. “This saves big dollars for wasted feed and not having to clean out bins prior to bringing in the next flock,” Koenig said. He said Gold’n Plump already has about 40 broiler barn growers equipped with BinTrac systems on their 18-ton bins (six legs and six units per bin). They will be adding the units to more of their grower barns as they continue to go forward. Maintenance is minimal mostly just involving replacement of a few loadcells, he said. Mark Jaeger, senior vice president of engineering for Herdstar LLC, said, “we are the only company in the industry that warranties our loadcells from lightning even without having to add grounding rods. Bins are like lightning rods and a lighting strike a mile away can generate enough EMI to kill many loadcell systems. Most loadcell failures are either due to voltage surges or moisture. We have replaced a number of competitor systems where they have lost loadcells due to storms and ours continues to survive and operate. “What is really unique with our system is the AFrame bracket. It works like a screw jack. It connects to the side of the leg versus under the leg like competitors. You tighten the top screw and only need to lift the bin a half inch off the ground. I have received multiple patents on this bracket. It makes it very easy to install and retrofit existing bins.” — Dick Hagen, The Land staff writer

Jan. 14 deadline for livestock investment money By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Minnesota’s Department of Agriculture may not have a reputation for being overly generous during an economic squeeze, but thanks to some unused monies from the ethanol assistance program dating back a few years, some bucks are still available to assist Minnesota livestock producers. On top of that, this is grant money, meaning it does not need to be repaid. The program is called the Livestock Investment Grant, and livestock producers can apply for up to 10 percent of the eligible expenses. “Size of operation isn’t any issue so any type of building (be that new or remodeled), site preparation expenses, a new milking parlor, even new livestock fencing and forage handling equipment can be considered. Manure handling expenses is also eligible. So it’s really anything that pertains to livestock operations in the state,” said Curt Zimmerman, MDA’s Livestock Development team supervisor.
First funded in 2008, 89 grant recipients have invested an estimated $31 million in their livestock operations. “The Livestock Investment Grant program helps encourage long-term development in Minnesota’s $7 billion livestock sector,” said Dave Frederickson, MDA commissioner. How do you score high enough to get a grant? Zimmerman said first considerations are given to younger, beginning farmers or older livestock farmers who are transitioning to a son or daughter operation. Equally important in the evaluation is whether this particular expense is beneficial to the environment in any way. He pointed out that virtually any livestock equipment purchase has some impact on the environment even the big capacity manure spreaders. “Fewer trips across the fields, less fuel being used, perhaps better applications which permit better use by the soils of the manure,” Zimmerman said. His point being that virtually anything a livestock producer does to
improve production also helps the environment. Because this program involves the usage of state dollars there has to be a positive impact for all concerns. He also said that the Minnesota livestock industry is a huge contributor to the overall state economy so these Livestock Investment Grants are using state money in proper fashion. A maximum of $50,000 is set, “caps” per year by the MDA have been in the $25,000 to $30,000 range. However, a livestock producer can apply in multiple years until reaching that $50,000 plateau. A minimum investment of $4,000 starts the process. The program applies to any species of livestock production. It also might provide funds for those unintended or natural disasters disrupting a livestock operation. “We’ve had some areas of the state impacted by major weather events that have resulted in improvements having to be made to afflicted livestock farms. Even a major health issue such as a TB break are unintended conse-

This program is unique to livestock farmers and the MDA applauds Gov. Mark Dayton and the Minnesota legislature for this “extra concern” for the Minnesota livestock industry. Zimmerman said the application requests information on an individual’s livestock operation, the improvements desired, dollar amount of the expenditure and information from the producer on how this particular grant request benefits the environment of the producer and his/her immediate neighborhood. Quickest access to the application form is through the MDA website, www.mda.state.mn.us. Applications can be filled out and submitted online directly back to the MDA. The deadline for applications is Jan. 14 in the MDA office in St. Paul. Contact Zimmerman at (651) 201-6150. ❖

Motivated by his surroundings, Costello has devoted much of his career to issues facing today’s agricultural producers. Patrick Costello The American Agricultural Law Association recently elected Costello as its president for 2014-15. Costello grew up in Lakefield, Minn., a community just north of Interstate 90 in Jackson County. Although he wasn’t a “farm kid,” his uncle was a farmer. He earned a bachelor of arts degree from Hamline University before receiving a law degree from Creighton University School of Law. A course on agricultural law planted a seed that grew into a law career involved with agriculture. When asked about the decision to return to the Lakefield area, Costello said, “I’ll have to say, yes, I was always interested in practicing in my hometown.” After graduating from Creighton in 1977, he joined the law firm of Costello, Carlson and Butzon.

Costello said since he is a practicing attorney and not a member of academia. “Some issues never go away, like the environment and pollution.” Anti-trust issues in the meat indus-
try seem to be going nowhere, but Costello sees the genetically modified organism labeling debate shifting to Washington after the recent defeat of Proposition 37 in California. “The content of food labeling is another issue where certain vocal consumers demonstrate that when it comes to what we eat, emotions can outrun science,” Costello said. He is optimistic about the future status of estate taxes. “I think there is a very high likelihood that the current exemption of $5 million and portability with spouse will become the law for descendants dying after 2012, once Congress addresses the issue of the exemption going down to $1 million on
Jan. 1, 2013. If Congressional action is delayed, retroactivity of the higher exemption would be expected.” The emerging issue of farming subSahara Africa with modern techniques to make production equal to that of Brazil is another potential topic. The fact that China, Japan and Saudi Arabia are buying “huge chunks” of land in Africa needs to be researched in relation to American agriculture. During the planning process, time slots will be left open to address new issues. “There will be some topics that we haven’t even thought of yet,” Costello said. Discussion of a new foodborne illness epidemic could fill one of those slots. ❖

THE LAND, DECEMBER 21, 2012
By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Ask professional engineer Alan Larsen with Anez Consulting Inc. in Willmar, Minn., why new technologies keep popping up in agriculture and he said, “cost of production is the primary driver. Farmers have become keen businessmen. They’re quick to note the potential of a new strategy but don’t always have the analytical resources to make best decisions.” Larsen said that manure management falls into that category. Anez specializes in environmental compliance and crop consulting. “A growing business for us is working with livestock producers assisting them to get maximum nutrient value out of their livestock manure. Equally importantly today is the positioning of that manure according to crop potentials, soil types and especially landscapes of those fields so that nutrient loss is negligible or even non-existent,” said Larsen, a University of Minnesota civil engineering graduate “several years ago”. This rapidly He said this is somewhat can get expenof a moving target subject sive and to current county and state whether its regulations and sometimes EPA or MPCA even projecting what future rules might come into there isn’t yet being regarding soil conservaenough data tion and nutrient manageor knowledge ment.

So the very development of these technologies and marketing strategies at the farm level is also discouraged by potential air-quality issues,” Larsen said.

Minnesota but who knows what’s ahead. You need some scale to justify these investments. At a recent Syracuse, N.Y., conference a 1,000-cow dairy was established as the starting point,” he said.

This issue gets discussed at each legislative session but so far no change, partly due to the persuasive power of Minnesota’s extensive cooperative utility structure. In essence increasing the net metering standards decreases potential revenue streams of each local utility. What mostly drives the agenda of Anez Consulting? Primarily their nutrient management services to both crop and livestock producers. And, perhaps the added carrot is the simple reality that this firm provides consulting without having anything to sell, other than advice. “And that often gets us into ‘writing prescriptions,’ so to speak, on combinations of manure and commercial fertilizer. We also do pest scouting and prescribe treatments for pest control,” Larsen said. With this growing professionalism in agriculture are manure nuisances becoming less an issue? Larsen thinks so, partly due to farmers showing much more concern about their neighbors. Also the simple fact that farmers are getting
smarter and technologies are getting better. “We’re getting a track record on favorable results. Farmers are open and often willing to demonstrate what they are doing to facilitate the environment. It’s fun being in this business when you’re working with winners,” Larsen said. His firm is a primary consultant with Wayne and Laura Dahl, Lac qui Parle County recently honored as National Environmental Winners in pork production. From his perspective the ongoing disagreements between livestock producers and regulatory agencies, such as the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, is just part of the rule-writing process in today’s bureaucracy. He said that language sometimes may not be rule-driven but instead comes from someone within an agency that is agenda-driven. “That’s a part of the beast we live with,” he said. Larsen was interviewed at the recent Midwest Dairy Expo in St. Cloud, Minn. ❖

Farmed out Number of farmers in new Legislature at a record low By MARK FISCHENICH Mankato Free Press Minnesota’s moose population is dropping so fast that state officials have tentatively added it to the list of species needing special attention to ensure their survival. They might want to consider endangered species status for another Paul Torkelson fading group, as well: farmers in the state Legislature. Just nine of the 201 incoming members of the Minnesota House and Senate list themselves as farmers (with a 10th calling himself a farm owner) — a record-low number. It’s an extraordinary collapse of the farmer population in the state Capitol — from numbers that approached 50 percent of lawmakers a century ago to less than 5 percent for the group elected Nov. 6. A fading perspective The decline has influenced the way, and even the pace, in which the Legislature does its job, said Rep. Paul Torkelson, one of six active farmers remaining in the 134-member House of Representatives. The lessons taught by farming translate well to both budgeting and policy-making, said Torkelson, Republican from St. James. So in some respects, when it came to legislating, farmers were outstanding in their field. “The enterprise of farming is different in a lot of ways than other professions,” he said, noting that farmers know about managing risk, understand how outside forces can undermine projected revenue, and recognize there’s no guarantee that next

year will bring more income than last. “That uncertainty, combined with the uncertainty of nature, grounds us in reality, really,” said Torkelson, who represents a sprawling rural district including Brown County. “... people, especially at the state level and people who benefit from programs of the state, expect a little more every year. And sometimes that’s just not possible.” Thicker than flies ... A farmer’s perspective was available at every third or fourth desk at the Capitol for most of Minnesota’s history. In some years, tillers of the earth made up nearly half the seats available for writers of the law. As recently as 1923, 92 of the then-198 seats were held by farmers or people in closely related work such as grain elevator managers and implement

dealers, according to records compiled by the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library. And farmers continued to make up more than 25 percent of the Senate and House through the 1960s. The numbers began dropping below that level in the past 50 years, but former Rep. Henry Kalis of Walters remembers seeing fellow farmers everywhere when he was elected to the House in 1974. “We started a group of farmers, a little caucus, and we thought we were going to set the world on fire,” said Kalis, a DFLer. “It was 42 in the House.” Legislative records show there were 49 in the entire Legislature, including the Senate, for the 1975-76 session. It was that strength that allowed pro-farmer initiatives such as the ethanol mandate — requiring the corn-based fuel to be mixed into gasoline in Minnesota — to become law despite strong initial opposition, said Kalis, who represented rural Blue Earth, Faribault and Waseca counties in the House. The size of the farmer caucus in the Legislature was substantial enough that farmers often didn’t have to actively push for pro-agriculture policies and budgets, Kalis said. Legislative leaders knew the group was too big to ignore. “I think it was more about scaring the leadership than about getting legislation passed,” he said of the purpose of the farmer caucus. Now down to seven farmers/farm owners in the House and three in the Senate, there isn’t much scary about the legislative strength of agriculture. See LEGISLATORS, pg. 24A

There are fewer farmers everywhere Ag voice still heard By MARK FISCHENICH Mankato Free Press The steep decline in the number of farmers serving in the Minnesota Legislature isn’t hard to explain. The percentage of the state’s population working and living on farms has plunged, and every census brings a shift in population — and political representation — to the Twin Cities metro area and regional centers in greater Minnesota. But who’s replaced the farmers, who made up more than a quarter of representatives and senators through most of Minnesota’s history? Teachers have filled some of the gap. The number of professors, teachers and school and university administrators in the Legislature has doubled in the past half-century, reaching 37 in the recently elected group of legislators. The legal profession, a constant source of politicians from the state’s beginning, is actually producing many fewer candidates for state office than in the past. Just 19 lawyers will be sworn in as lawmakers on Jan. 8. The number of full-time legislators has grown

Education is a more vital task for those interest groups now that 95 percent of the people crafting the budgets and writing the regulatory rules have never spent a day on a tractor or done more than briefly visit a hog barn.

sus information also influences community growth and development. Many companies review Census data when determining where to establish or expand their businesses, as well as where they can go for supplies of locally produced food and agricultural products, which further emphasizes the importance of supplying accurate information. Information from the Census also is valuable to explain the many ways farming is important to urban or non-farming residents and decision-makers. All farmers and ranchers should receive a Census form in the mail by early January. Completed forms are due by Feb. 4. Farmers can return their forms by mail or online by visiting a secure website, www.agcensus.usda.gov.

have tended to drag on and on. Several times, the dallying has stretched into summertime special sessions and government shutdowns as lawmakers refused to compromise on budgets and policy disputes long after the mid-May adjournment target. That trend has mainly been blamed on growing partisanship and inflexibility, but it also has to do with the dearth of farmers, according to Kalis and Torkelson. Lawmakers can dig in and refuse to yield at the Capitol, even when spring arrives because so few of them need to worry that an extended session is going to reduce their yields if they don’t get home and dig into their planting. Back when farmers dominated the Legislature, it might have been acceptable in January, February and March to debate endlessly and spurn proposed compromises. But when the frost left the ground and the soil dried and the weather turned sunny and warm, farmer-legislators were eager to reach a deal. “I think it happened without realizing it,” Kalis said. “It speeded things up. And I think it affected how people voted.” “No doubt about it,” Torkelson said. “The schedule used to more reflect the rhythm of the seasons, and we’ve gotten away from that.” The Mankato Free Press is a sister publication to The Land under The Free Press Media. ❖

It’s not every day that a walk to your mailbox leads to an opportunity to help shape farm programs, boost rural services and grow your farm future. But for producers across the country, that opportunity will soon become a reality. The 2012 Census of Agriculture, the only source of consistent and comprehensive agricultural data for every state and county in the nation, is currently being mailed to millions of farmers and ranchers across the United States. Conducted every five years by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, the Census provides detailed data covering nearly every facet of U.S. agriculture. “The 2012 Census of Agriculture provides farmers with a powerful voice. The information gathered through the Census influences policy decisions that can have a tremendous impact on farmers and their communities for years to come,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. He said that in addition to affecting policy decisions, Cen-

But he returned to his roots, taking over his father’s farm operation and growing it to 1,400 acres, plus some hog production. And now, in a way, Torkelson is back to teaching. Rather than music, he’s instructing colleagues at the Capitol in 21st century American agriculture. “It’s a constant process because ag has changed quite a bit over the years, and most people just don’t understand what happens on a modern farm,” said Torkelson, who is particularly troubled about a potential knowledge gap in the metro-heavy legislative leadership that will be sworn in Jan. 8. “... I expect it’s going to be more and more difficult to make sure farmers are treated fairly when it comes to the regulatory climate. And that’s really my biggest concern as we move into the next legislative session.” A time to sow There’s probably one other repercussion of the plummeting number of farmers at the Capitol — an effect that most Minnesotans have noticed in recent years as legislative sessions

Shortage, value make hay supply easy target By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Perhaps it was inevitable. Somebody is now stealing hay. With small bales now in the $15 range and big bales $150 and up, truck-mounted hydraulic hoists on 18-wheelers are ramping up truck load thievery of baled hay rather frequently in California, Texas and a few other areas where drought virtually eliminated the hay harvest for livestock producers. Donald Kieffer, National Hay Association executive director, reports hay thievery is especially rampant in the agriculturally rich California Imperial Valley. “Producers who stack their hay bales along roadsides make it especially easy for these ‘after dark’ marauders to park their semis, reach across to the pile of bales and fairly quickly snatch a load. Or they toss 20 to 25 bales in their pickup and they have a $300 heist,” Kieffer said. So what can/should producers be doing with this commodity that today has considerable value? Kieffer suggested electric lighting around the hay piles, or a better location with 24-hour visibility. Or perhaps technology to the rescue, electronic sensing devices appropriately located around a hay stack detect motion and send an immediate audio alarm to the producer’s house. Meanwhile, how critical is the hay shortage across America? Veteran hay producer Harlan Anderson, rural Cokato, Minn., said quality hay is in short supply
everywhere. “Ditch hay in some areas is more than adequate but consider the quality,” he said. Who’s buying hay? Perhaps because the Minnesota landscape during the 2012 growing season got blessed with a bit more rain than other areas, Minnesota has hay and most of it is leaving the state, Anderson said. Does Minnesota hay mostly travel to the drought-damaged states of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska? “I find the most interest in Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and Texas,” he said. Is the growing hay shortage strictly a function of widespread drought? Not so said Anderson who claims farmers grow less hay because there’s more money growing corn and soybeans. “The hay shortage was developing because of public policy toward corn and soybeans but the significant drought stepped up the process by at least five years.” Obviously Minnesota farmers too are responding to public policy and plowing up their alfalfa fields to plant corn, soybeans and wheat. This year Anderson said a lot of Minnesota hay was sold off the field. “Ask yourself, who was willing to harvest hay and take the time and space to store it for an opportunity to dig it out this winter?” he asked. “Not a lot of younger farmers are interest in raising hay nor are their bankers. Older farmers with old paid-for equipment enjoy making hay and many may still have some hay available.” So are we mostly talking “grassland hay” or is there good-quality alfalfa on the market today?

Anderson said, “good quality hay needs to be raised on the same ground that can raise good quality corn or soybeans. Good quality hay is therefore in shorter supply.” He mentioned going to a hay auction in Litchfield, Minn., in mid-November and said hay was up over $100 per ton compared with just a few months earlier. The top lot of alfalfa hay at Litchfield that day was $330/ton; two weeks earlier the top lot at Sauk Centre was $340/ton. Hay auctions are also regular weekly events at Hutchinson, Minn., and other areas with sales barns. So with perhaps even more corn and soybean acres next year what happens to hay production? “I think the real question is who is going to plant their acres to alfalfa when $350 to $400 cash rents are common versus corn acres potentially grossing more than $1,500 per acre,” Anderson said. He’s a veteran alfalfa producer so five-plus tons per acre (five cuttings) are old hat for him. He claims alfalfa acres need to be rotated for longevity and maximum production. But he asks the stubborn question, “when that alfalfa field gets too old and is plowed what is the farmer going to replant?” He answers is own question by asking “What would the price of alfalfa hay have to be to convince a corn and soybean farmer to say to himself, ‘I think I would rather plant hay than corn or soybeans’?” Kieffer can be reached at (800) 707-0014. Anderson’s e-mail address is idleacres@cmgate.com. ❖

ter definitely help their students discover their talents, and their interests. And what’s important is that high school ag teachers also push their students to reach their goals,” Kieser said. Her views about the challenges facing agriculture? “I think our main challenge is job supply.

Why is this happening? She suggested that perhaps we need to broaden our horizons when we train and hire new students. “We can’t just depend upon farm kids to fill this growing market in an expanding agricultural world. I think we need to let all high school students know about the fact that there is one industry that is hiring and that industry is agriculture,” Kieser said. Kieser was interviewed while at the recent annual meeting of the Minnesota Farm Bureau. ❖

“Items such as heating pads should never be applied directly to pets as this can cause thermal burns,” she said. For severe cases, the veterinarian may give warmed IV fluids or warm water enemas to the pet. Another result from leaving a dog in the cold for long periods of time is frostbite. Frostbite occurs on areas least covered by fur such as ears and tails. Signs of frostbite include red, swollen areas or pale, white areas. As with hypothermia, it is important to consult a veterinarian if frostbite is suspected. To prevent hypothermia and frostbite, it is recommended that pets, particularly smaller, younger or older pets, are not in the cold for extended periods of time. Eckman also recommended putting sweaters or booties on the pet to keep them warm. “Dogs with coats and booties may look cute, but this ‘fashion statement’ may protect from hypothermia,” she said. This winter remember to monitor the temperature if your pet is spending extended periods of time in the cold.

flow making them also more susceptible,” she said. She added that Arctic breeds such as Huskies or Malamutes can be less prone to hypothermia than other breeds because of their thicker coats. If a dog is left in the cold for an extended period of time, signs of hypothermia to look for are shivering, lethargy, weakness and shallow breathing. The more severe the case of hypothermia, the worse the signs will appear. “After a period of time, the shivering stops and they become more neurologically affected,” Eckman said. “Their heart rates may drop to dangerous levels, and it can be fatal.” It is important to take the pet to the veterinarian or seek a veterinarian’s advice if hypothermia is suspected. Once there, the veterinarian can monitor the pet’s heartbeat, breathing and temperature. If the temperature falls below 98 degrees Fahrenheit, Eckman said the veterinarian will start “active warming” on the pet. Active warming includes placing warm blankets or heating pads on the animal and feeding it warmed oats or rice. Eckman cautioned that owners should not perform these methods of treatment before consulting a veterinarian.

Winter weather can be beautiful, but extremely cold temperatures can be dangerous for humans and pets. Pet owners need to keep an eye on their dogs for the potential of hypothermia. Hypothermia, occurring in both humans and pets, is a condition characterized by abnormally low body temperatures. There are three phases of hypothermia: mild, classified as a body temperature of 90 to 99 degrees Fahrenheit; moderate, classified as a body temperature of 82 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit; and severe, classified as a body temperature of less than 82 degrees Fahrenheit. With hypothermia, the dog is no longer able to control a normal body temperature resulting in an abnormal heartbeat and difficulties breathing. Generally, hypothermia results from spending too much time outside in the cold. Although there is not a specific time limit for a given temperature a dog should be left outside, Stacy Eckman, lecturer at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, said time spent outside in the cold should be restricted. “The amount of time a pet should spend outside varies based on how acclimated the pet is to cooler temperatures,” Eckman said. “Typically, we do not recommend indoor pets to spend considerable amounts of time outdoors in cold temperatures without supervision.” Hypothermia should be considered when taking any pet into the cold for long periods of time, but some are more susceptible to the illness than others. Smaller, younger dogs, for example, are likely to lose their body heat faster resulting in hypothermia, Eckman said. “Geriatric patients may take medications that alter their ability to regulate their temperature and blood

High-tech ice fishing gear equates to cold cash OK, you’ve just stepped out of your still-smoking, soot-covered time machine after traveling from 1962 to 2012. And you want to go ice fishing. Undoubtedly, you brought along your ice spud or hand auger, a pail to sit on and a jigging stick. We understand things were simpler back then. But as long as you’ve arrived well into the new millennium, you may as well equip yourself with some of the latest and greatest ice angling equipment. Call us all softies, but comfort, convenience and technology are the watchwords of today’s iceanglers. Good, old-fashioned muscle power sometimes works for drilling holes early on but when the ice gets thick, mobile ice fisherman now look to powered augers to stay on fish. Until recently, that meant smoky, smelly and often cantankerous two-cycle engines. But a couple years ago, Jiffy introduced a propane-powered unit. New this year in the Strikemaster line is a four-stroke unit auger powered by a reliable Honda power head. And for anglers who really want to go green, the Ion is a lithium battery-powered electric unit that manufacturers claim will drill 40 holes through twofoot-thick ice before needing a charge, and all with nary a whiff of exhaust fumes. About $500 for any of the aforementioned models.

The small monitor attached to it is a compact underwater camera monitor with the major shelter players — Clam, made by Aqu-Vu. Otter, Frabill and Eskimo — is some type of thermal occupants more comfortable. Ring up about $300 for a one-man model and $600 or so if you want to fish insulation fabric. In theory, at least, the insulated models will minimize interior condensation and keep with a friend. And speaking of comfort, nowadays, we like to stay warm while staring at that hole in the ice. Sunflower-style propane-fueled heaters will keep you toasty on even the coldest days. Just be sure to have adequate ventilation. A heater purported to be safer, equipped with a shut-off mode if oxygen levels fall to dangerous levels, is the Buddy heater. About $35 for the former, $80 to $130 for the latter, depending on the model. Propane not included, naturally. Underwater cameras have become commonplace in areas where water is clear enough to use them. Early models offered black-and-white cameras and with the exception of the Aqua-Vu Z Series systems that utilized a projection system, relied on conventional cathode ray picture tubes for viewing. But just as tube-based televisions have fallen out of favor in homes, underwater viewing systems have made the conversion to flat-panel, LED/LCD technology, frequently in color. What’s more, present systems are designed to be more user-friendly and self-contained. Marcum and Aqua-Vu, the primary players in the underwater viewing system market offer a variety of models. Perhaps one of the niftiest is Aqua-Vu’s Micro, a viewing system which features a walnutsized camera and a color monitor about the size of a smart phone. Plan on forking over $300 to $600. Most ice anglers would argue that fishing without a flasher is akin to fishing blind and for years, Vexilar and Marcum have been familiar names. More See CROSS, pg. 31A
engineered to provide enhanced sensitivity and remain flexible in a cold water environment. Expect to shell out $3 to $4 for a 110-yard spool of monofilament upwards to $10 for a 60-yard spool of the braided versions.
Finally, there’s the tackle. Forget about just dangling a minnow beneath a bare hook. That can work at times, but nowadays, we like plastic, lures that swim or make noise. Figure on blowing through a C-note in no time at all. Using conservative numbers, let’s just figure you’ll drop a cool $1,500 minimum to get up to speed with the present-day ice fisherman. And that’s before you spend a dime on live bait. Hope you brought a credit card. John Cross is a Mankato (Minn.) Free Press staff writer.

Depending on the features, expect to shell out $300 to $600. Combination units by Marcum and Vexilar that feature underwater systems and depth sounders in a single unit also are available for anglers with deep pockets. Ka-ching! $1,200. That jigging stick you brought along will still catch fish but anglers long ago discovered that conventional spinning reels and compact rods work great for ice fishing. But the latest item touted in ice angling circles is the in-line reel. Resembling a down-sized, single action fly-reel, the advantage is claimed to be no line twist which can impart a spinning motion to baits, a turn-off for finicky fish. $25 to $50 for reels only; $40 to $80 for rod-reel combos. Of course, a new reel will need line. You can spool up a conventional warmweather line. But you will be better served to spring for a line specially

Winter preparation essential for cattle herd management The arrival of cold weather means cattle producers need to take extra care in managing their livestock. There are a number of techniques producers can employ to help animals maintain rate of gain and to protect cows as they approach the spring calving season. First, feeding high-forage diets or forages with supplements can help cattle deal with cold-induced energy loss, said Ron Lemenager, Purdue Extension beef specialist. Because cattle are ruminants, digestion happens through a complex fermentation process that produces heat and energy. Beyond diet modifications, producers also should be aware of how animals react to winter weather elements. “A cow can handle zero or below-zero temperatures. It’s the wet and windy conditions that can be

tough,” Lemenager said. Animals with wet hides often can’t create enough body heat to stay warm when it’s windy. Lemenager recommended that producers create windbreaks for their animals to eliminate the wind chill. For each 10-degree temperature drop in wind chill below 30 degrees Fahrenheit, the energy requirement of a cow goes up by 13 percent in animals with moderate body conditions and dry winter hair coats. If a cow is wet or thin, the energy requirement goes up by 30 percent for each 10-degree drop. “For example, in a thin cow at zero degrees wind chill, the cow’s energy requirement has increased 90 percent,” Lemenager said. “She needs additional energy and protein, such as corn or distiller’s grains.” But Lemenager cautioned farmers not to overfeed protein to late-pregnancy cows because there’s an associated risk of increased calf birth weights and dystocia, or birthing difficulties. “If we have a really cold winter, that will increase birth weights, anyway, because of the natural way a cow responds to cold,” he said. “They reduce blood flow to extremities and increase flow inside, where the calf is growing. If it’s cold and you’re increasing protein too much, that will collectively bring up birth weights and birthing problems.” Another management tip is to ensure that herds

have easy access to water throughout winter months. “If animals don’t drink water, they don’t eat,” Lemenager said. “Producers should frost-proof their water supplies, either by using tank heaters or chipping ice in ponds. We often forget about reviewing our water sources, but now’s a good time to double-check those tank heaters before we get into the blistering cold of winter.” Producers who plan to allow animals to graze during the winter also should consider pasture management. Pastures need to retain a stubble height of at least 4 inches, unless they will be reseeded in the spring. “If you’re in an area where wintering cows on pasture is feasible, create a sacrifice area for tromping so cows don’t tromp all your acreage and damage chances for regrowth next season,” Lemenager said. “Designating one area saves a whole pasture from being abused, and it’s much cheaper than having to re-do an entire pasture.” In these sacrifice lots, Lemenager recommended that farmers disk or drill summer annuals or legumes that are suited to their areas next spring. This will allow an opportunity to make hay or provide additional grazing. For those pastures that need renovation, allowing cattle to graze the pasture to a 2-inch stubble height will reduce the residue and allow for good seed-tosoil contact next spring and reduce the competition for new seedling to get established.

Or among husbands and wives. Gift-giving can be tricky, indeed. When I was growing up on the farm, there were seven kids to buy for at Christmas time. Surely, it was quite a time-consuming task (not to mention an expense) to orchestrate. My mother — always the thinker — decided it would help if she could narrow it down to three gifts per kid. We got something we needed, something we wanted and one surprise.

I’ve heard women say that if they have to plug it in, or if it can be deducted on their farmer-husband’s taxes, they don’t really want it. I guess this means that women are not all practical, and like to be spoiled a little bit now and then.
This is where my husband’s trashy gift enters the picture.
was hooked onto something that looked like a very large barrel with a lid. As my mind was paging through ideas of what that could be out there, my husband saw me looking, smiled, and said, “Hey! You’re not supposed to be looking out there yet!” Turns out, he had made me a very large trash barrel, complete with a lid that hinges open and shut, and a pipe so that the trash will burn even when the lid is closed. It was a farm wife’s dream. It seems that those trash barrels fill up so quickly, even when you recycle as much as you think you can. Burning the trash becomes a very time-consuming chore. This one was huge, and seemed quite handy.
As a farmer, he can’t help but be practical in nature. It’s part of who he is, and it’s really one thing that is so great about almost all farmers. They like gifts that make life easier — in both giving and receiving. Really, what’s not to like?

On New Zealand’s south island, along a short stretch of beautiful Pacific Ocean beach a few hours south of Christchurch, are a collection of rocks unlike any you will find anywhere else in the world. They are large, and they are nearly perfectly spherical. The largest one is nearly six feet in diameter — most are closer to two or three feet — and practically without flaw. Others have lengthy fissures filled with tiny shelled creatures, or substantially broken apart. One in particular is missing its top half, with its exposed hollow core a self-contained tide pool of sea life. Where the boulders came from depends on your perspective. The native Maori people’s traditions tell of a giant canoe becoming waterlogged and sinking at a point further down shore. The crew and cargo were thrown to the sea, later washing ashore at Moeraki Beach. The large boulders are massive gourds, while the smaller rocks are sweet potatoes, or kumara, from that fateful voyage.

Scientists explain the geological oddities — known as concretions — as having begun to form around 55 million years ago as lime deposits formed slowly and evenly around shells and pebbles on a quiet sea floor. Over millions of years the region lifted, and the soft cliff walls eroded, revealing the unique stones to human eyes.
Moeraki boulders, near Oamaru, New Zealand
Either way, if you’re fortunate enough to fly to New Zealand and visit the Moeraki boulders as part of your trip, make sure to plan ahead — they’re only visible during low tide. We’d hate for you to renew your passport for nothing. ❖

Grain Angles Bullish, but not too enthused
The following market analysis is for the week ending Dec. 14. CORN — Corn was under pressure throughout the week, closing lower for six straight sessions before finding support at the $7.15 level. The Dec. 11 crop report was unable to muster any buying enthusiasm, but a lower dollar and higher soybean market leading into the weekend were able to cut the weekly loss. March corn was only down 6 1/2 cents for the week at $7.30 3/4 per bushel. Demand for U.S. corn exports continues to be slack. South PHYLLIS NYSTROM American corn is trading at a disCHS Hedging Inc. St. Paul count to U.S. origin. Reportedly, Brazilian corn traded at a $30 per ton discount to U.S. origins. South Korea bought 600,000 to 700,000 metric tons of corn this week, but it was optional origin. Weekly export inspections (corn actually being shipped) were only 7.9 million bushels for the week, a marketing year low, with 92 percent headed to Japan. Year-to-date inspections are running 51 percent behind last year. We need to ship 24.5 million bushels per week to reach the U.S. Department of Agriculture export forecast. We’ve only had inspections above that level twice this marketing year. Export sales this week were 10.2 million bushels. China’s National Grain and Oils Information Center stated they will import half as much corn in 2012-13 as they did in 2011-12 with none coming from the United States. On a trial basis they will buy from
It seems that the livestock markets are the same each week but at the same time different. The start of December has brought the same behavior as we have seen all fall. The cattle and hog markets making sharp and erratic moves and both moving to lower prices. The cattle market has seen prices deteriorate to some degree over the past few weeks due mainly to a lack of demand for beef. Beef cutouts have begun to drift lower because of the lack of interest in the retail and export market. This has put the packer in a position to try to acquire live inventory at lower prices to try to JOE TEALE Broker maintain margins. Great Plains Commodity On the opposite side, the Afton, Minn. expected lower cattle numbers have bolstered the speculators to move heavily into the futures market in anticipation of the decreased supplies forcing the futures prices higher. Despite the fact there are fewer cattle anticipated, with cattle weights at all-time levels, beef production has not dropped off that drastically. With demand continuing to shrink, the likelihood of a dramatic move to a lot higher levels at this time seem remote. The fact that speculative money is flowing into the futures market on the long side on technical ideas, leaves the market vulnerable to some setbacks because of fundamental reasons. The stumbling economy leaves a big question on what lies ahead on the demand side of the market which will likely be the catalyst of the future price direction. Therefore, producers are encouraged to monitor the
Currently the grain markets are fundamentally bullish, yet lacking much enthusiasm. The soybean market saw a $3.70 slide from the summer high mark and is now trying to stage a rally to buy some acres to be planted in the spring. The corn market has drifted lower as well, yet has established a sideways trading range, that lacks a solid trend. The wheat markets have been in a solid trading range since summer harvest and are showing a test to support levels. All of this dreary price action in a tight supply and demand environment is counter intuitive to TOM NEHER say the least. AgStar VP & Team Leader — Grain Industry The futures spreads give us a Rochester, Minn. good indication of the commercial outlook on market fundamentals. Corn and soybeans continue to show an inverse, meaning nearby contracts are higher priced than deferred contracts. The stronger the inverse of price between the contracts, the more the market could recover from its sell-off. Price instability and volatility will likely remain the name of the game in 2013. The biggest game changer could be the South American weather. Some have made long-term bearish price forecasts based on incredible production in both Brazil and Argentina. Yet, the same was expected to occur in the United States in 2012 and never materialized because of the drought in the Midwestern Corn Belt. The same could happen in South America in 2013, thus many traders will remain tentative sellers

Beans should continue upside lead, taking corn along NYSTROM, from pg. 1B Argentina and Ukraine. In a turn of events, China has now stopped corn imports from Argentina after finding the first two shipments contained unapproved genetically modified organism corn varieties. The USDA left the corn balance sheet totally unchanged this month. Ending stocks remained at 647 million bushels when an increase to 666 million bushels was expected. It was surprising that the USDA hasn’t begun to lower exports since we are trailing last year by 46 percent when exports are only forecast to decline by 25 percent. They did drop the average farm price 15 to 25 cents to a new range of $6.80 to $8 per bushel. A bearish wheat report that increased ending stocks by 50 million bushels by cutting exports spilled over to the corn market, adding to the negativity in corn. In January, traders will be looking for the corn carryout to rise with lower exports and possibly higher production. On the world scene, this week’s report lowered the carryout slightly to 117.61 million mt. The Mississippi River update includes comments that with dredging navigation should be good through the end of December. Rock blasting may begin as early as lateDecember, about a month earlier than previously expected.
Weekly ethanol production was down 11,000 barrels per day while stocks rose to 20 million barrels (24.3 day supply). We are still on an annualized pace of 4.588 billion bushels. OUTLOOK: Corn needs demand to sustain any move to the upside, otherwise we can expect to remain rangebound, even though the carryout is tight and growers are selling little to nothing. There is however a strong seasonal for March corn to close unchanged or higher the day before and the day after Christmas. It has closed higher the day before Christmas in each of the last eight years and closed unchanged or higher in 11 out of the last 13 years. The correlation for a higher close the day after is also high. It has closed unchanged or higher the day after Christmas for the last 10 years and unchanged/higher in 11 out of the last 13 years. Next week we’ll look at the New Year’s price history. SOYBEANS — Soybeans traded higher this week after a friendly USDA crop report, although the majority of the weekly gain came as the U.S. dollar fell going into the weekend. January soybeans were up 23 3/4 cents for the week at $14.96 per bushel. This month’s balance sheet saw a rise in crush of 10 million bushels, which was subtracted directly from the bottom line.
MARKETING
Ending stocks decreased 10 million bushels to 130 million bushels when a cut to 135 million was estimated. The stocks-to-use ratio fell from 4.6 percent to 4.3 percent. The average farm price, however, fell 35 cents to a range of $13.55 to $15.55 per bushel. Celeres estimates that 51 percent of this year’s Brazilian crop has been sold as compared to 42 percent last year. Weekly export inspections of 46.6 million bushels continue to surpass the 18.3 million needed per week to reach the USDA objective. Weekly export sales were the highest so far for this marketing year at 48.5 million bushels. Total sales commitments are 32 percent higher than last year when total exports are projected to be down 1 percent. China bought 115,000 mt of U.S. beans this week and South Korea bought 110,000 mt of Brazilian beans. The November National Oilseed Processors Association crush was 157.3, near the pre-report estimate. This was the second highest November crush ever and higher than the 153.5 million crushed in October. It is atypical for the November crush to surpass the October figure, shoring up the demand picture. Cumulative crush for the year is running 10 percent higher than last year, while the USDA is calling for an 8-percent decline. Many will be looking for a higher export figure on the January report and possibly a lower carryout, depending on what the USDA does to production.
OUTLOOK: Soybeans settled at our $14.96 resistance level, opening the door for a return to a $14.96-to-$15.72 1/2 trading range. First support is at the $14.96 level, then $14.75 per bushel. Demand has not been sheared enough as evidenced by strong weekly exports, inverted spreads and firm basis levels. South American weather sees chances of rain for Argentina, who doesn’t need it, and for Brazil, who does need it. Soybeans should continue to take the lead to the upside, pulling corn along for a portion of the ride. January soybeans have closed unchanged or higher the day before Christmas in 12 out of the last 13 years (lower in 2009). The correlation for a higher close the day after Christmas isn’t nearly as strong, closing higher in eight out of the last 13 years. Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending Dec. 14: March Minneapolis wheat plummeted 31 cents, Chicago fell 47 cents and Kansas City collapsed 45 1/2 cents on poor demand. January crude oil gained 80 cents to close the week at $86.73, heating oil and gasoline were each 6 1/2 cents higher, while natural gas dropped over 23 1/2 cents. The next USDA report is Jan. 11, which for the first time will be released at 11 a.m. CT.

Hogs are stumbling after recovery TEALE, from pg. 1B market and protect inventories when necessary. The hog market appears to be stumbling a bit after a nice recovery from the sharp downturn this fall. Pork cutouts have eased back along with cash prices paid by the packers as their margins tightened once again. The positive for the hog market has been the good demand for pork over the past 30 days. This helped in the recovery of the cash prices paid by the packing industry. Because of the disparity between pork and other meats, consumers and exporters seem to have gained a larger
appetite for pork because of value. Seasonally, the hog market usually does not fair well during December since the holiday buying is usually complete. As with the cattle, the economic situation will play a major role in the demand for pork as well as the other meat products. In comparison to these other meats, pork is probably the better value which should help in keeping hog prices from any dramatic price declines into next year. The futures market is at a premium at this time which indicates the trade is optimistic about future prices. Producers should remain cognizant of market conditions and protect inventories if warranted. ❖

Butter prices for both 2012 and 2013 were lowered as demand is expected to remain relatively weak. Nonfat dry milk and whey prices were raised for 2012 and 2013.

NEHER, from pg. 1B until the crop is well on its way to the bin. The market impact of the South American weather is not the only factors playing into this listless weather market. The U.S. government weather experts say 2012 is “virtually certain” to go into the record books at the warmest year on records back to 1895. That projection comes as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said the Januaryto-November period in the contiguous United States was the warmest ever for the first 11 months, at an average of 57.1 degrees Fahrenheit, 3.3 degrees above the 20th century average and 1 degree above the previous record set in 1934. History tells us that 1934 was also a very dry year in the United States. One group of traders absent from the grain markets has been the investment crowd. As we know, they have a huge impact on how far and how fast markets will move. As I have said before, “the markets go where the money flows.” This group doesn’t like uncertainty, and they may stay on the sidelines until the United States has either gone over or
unchanged as the lower butter price is offset by a higher NDM price. The 2012 average is now projected to range $17.40 to $17.50 per hundredweight, down 15 cents from last month’s projection, and compares to $18.37 in 2011 and $14.41 in 2010. The projected 2013 average was put at MIELKE MARKET $18 to $18.80, up from the WEEKLY $17.85 to $18.75 projected a By Lee Mielke month ago. The 2012 Class IV average remained at $15.95 to $16.15, down from $19.04 in 2011 but above 2010’s $15.09. The 2013 average was put at $17 to $17.90, up from the $16.90 to $17.90 projected last month. Speaking of milk prices, California’s January 2013 Class I price is $20.24/cwt. for the north and $20.51 for the south. Both are down $2.84 from December 2012 but are 36 cents above January 2012. The January federal order Class I base price is announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Dec. 19. ■ Milk supplies available for cheese manufacturing have increased and cheese plants are working additional hours to accommodate the increased volumes, according to the USDA’s Dec. 7 Dairy Market News.

Bill Brooks, economist at INTL FCStone, noted in the Dec. 14 eDairy Insider Opening Bell that “most cheese for holiday use has shipped and prospects for an early December pop in prices appears to have passed. Demand isn’t strong enough for buyers to be aggressive enough to push prices higher,” Brooks said. ■ Cash butter reversed four weeks of decline, kind of, and closed at $1.5950, up a half-cent, but three-quarter cents below a year ago. Seven cars were sold on the week. AMS butter averaged $1.6351, down 7.4 cents. AMS powder averaged $1.5436, up 1.4 cents, and dry whey averaged 66.32 cents, up 0.6 cent.
Churning in the West is somewhat above expectations, the DMN reported, where cream remains readily available and club store sales are excellent with heavier orders coming in. Central butter production is active. Butter inventories are building seasonally but interest for December was sluggish and generally lower than projected by some manufacturers. Milk production is increasing steadily, following typical November and December trends, according to the DMN. Components are variable from week to week but processors indicate the overall trend on components shows a seasonal increase. Spot milk load availability increased substantially the first week of December. Milk handlers point to two major reasons for the sudden increase: cheese market volatility and mechanical issues at some Central plants. California milk production is slowly building along expected seasonal patterns. Overall output is behind a year ago as farms continue to struggle with profitability issues. ■ Cooperatives Working Together accepted 24 requests for export assistance this week to sell 2.1 million pounds of cheese and 947,988 pounds of butter, to customers in Asia, the Middle East and North Africa. The product will be delivered through May and raised CWT’s 2012 cheese exports to 115.7 million pounds, plus 71.5 million of butter, 127,868 pounds of anhydrous milk fat and 171,961 pounds of whole milk powder to 36 countries. ■ Meanwhile, Dairy Profit Weekly reported that the value of October U.S. dairy exports, at $413 million, was up 3 percent from September but virtually

unchanged from October 2011. It marked the 20th consecutive month export values surpassed $400 million. Year-to-date exports are estimated at $4.403 billion, up 10 percent from the same period last year. At $261 million, the value of October imports was up 6 percent from September and 5 percent more than October 2011. Year-to-date imports are estimated at $2.563 billion, up 10 percent from Januaryto-October 2011. The 2012 dairy trade surplus stands at $1.84 billion, compared to $1.65 billion a year earlier. October cheese imports, at $92 million, were down 5 percent from September and 16 percent below October 2011. Year-to-date 2012 cheese imports are estimated at $828 million, down 2 percent from the year before. ■ A recent U.S. Dairy Export Council teleconference pointed out that current dairy markets are “satisfied and complacent,” but shortages are expected ahead. The markets absorbed the “Oceania flush,” but most Oceania production is “booked” and milk output elsewhere is down, according to the USDEC. ■ In dairy politics, the DPW reported that “if and when Senate and House leaders negotiate the final terms of a 2012 farm bill, U.S. Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) want to make sure their amendment addressing federal order reforms remains intact. In a letter to Senate ag committee chair Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) and ranking member Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), they and seven other senators joined in requesting amendment S.1481 be in the final bill. See MIELKE, pg. 5B
