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 40 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

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. Conversely, I got to experience Dec. 19 twice.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”
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.

A group of cows or calves were simply Big Succums or Baby Succums. “Mary and Joseph they will be,” I said approvingly. Silence hung in the stale air. I reckoned that if you had bached it for 40 years, silence wasn’t a void that always needed to be filled. So I worked on my wine and said nothing. Howard reached for his pipe and the big red can of Velvet that had been my Christmas gift to him that morning. “You want to roll yourself a smoke, Allie? I got some papers here.” I shook off the offer. “Yep,” Howard said as if to himself, “that’s the prettiest tree I’ve ever had. And this is shaping up to be the nicest Christmas I’ve ever had because you came by.” I looked at the tree and then at the old man ringed in tobacco smoke staring at it and I felt sad. Not for him. I felt sad for me. I had agreed to come to his house to accommodate him, a favor for a hired man.
But he had not wanted a favor. All he had wanted was the chance to share his Christmas good fortune with me. He had some new wine, a warm fire, his best Christmas tree ever and a week’s worth of tobacco. He was happy and he wanted to give me some of that happiness. As I stared at the silhouette of Hoard the Dairyman in the glow of the Christmas lights I saw a man of great warmth, vast wealth and pure honesty. He didn’t have a checking account or credit card but he was far richer than the condescending college boy on his sofa. “Well Hoard,” I said a very quiet minute later, “I better go. We both have got to be at the barn early tomorrow.” He led me to the back door. “Don’t forget,” he said as I headed for the truck, “we’ll call those calves Mary and Joseph.” Almost 40 Christmas Nights later, I have not forgotten two calves named Mary and Joseph and Howard’s priceless gift, simple giving.

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. 30, 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”. There is much As for the claim of that Mr. Hagen not being able to pray says that bears in school, personal prayer in school is more than a always acceptable. We shadow of the just cannot make truth.

I for one am first in line to seek welfare reform. However, that is only part of the problem. There is no doubt that there are a variety of causes to the financial crisis, many linked. Two large and costly wars and a prescription drug program cannot be ignored. Defense is imperative, but overspending has sapped the life of this country. Justified or not, the cost of the wars initiated since 2001 is in the trillions. Mr. Hagen often refers to those who seek handouts. It is easy to highlight the excesses of others. 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.

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.

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.

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 food-borne illness epidemic could fill one of those slots. ❖
The American Agricultural Law Association recently elected Costello as its president for 201415.
THE LAND, DECEMBER 28, 2012
By CAROLYN VAN LOH The Land Correspondent An interest in practicing law in his hometown brought Patrick Costello back to southwestern Minnesota.

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.
<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>
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. He continues working for the firm with offices in Jackson, Lakefield and Heron Lake. Costello presided over more than 100 bankruptcy cases in the early 1980s. The economic condition of agriculture at that time motivated him to help form the Agricultural Law Section of the Minnesota Bar Association. Researching a federal estate tax issue for a case led him to join the AALA. Costello has presented several papers at AALA annual conferences and served a three-year term on the board of directors. Many members of the AALA are land grant university professors and researchers. The organization studies and analyzes agricultural laws that affect farmers and ranchers. Annual conferences are often the first time members hear about breaking news in agriculture. Costello’s major responsibility as president-elect is selecting topics for the 2013 conference. “They’re expecting a more practical, rather than theoretical, program,” Costello said since he is a practicing attorney and not a member of academia. “Some issues never go away, like the environment and pollution.”
“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

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 jack-like 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 Mon-
day 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 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 See BINTRAC, pg. 11

BINTRAC, from pg. 10 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 seven-ton 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 imporThe reporting tant for me as a feed mill manager.

The monitors very precise in tell us that Bin 10 is our delivery using 1.1 ton per day schedules and but as pigs get bigger tonnages per that floats up to 1.3 tons or 1.4 tons per delivery. day. This forecasting — Dan Berkner 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, 16-ton bulk bins. “I’ve been real pleased. The system is directly hooked into the web-based monitoring system of Farmers Co-op 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 full-load 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” See BINTRAC, pg. 12

Alerts are sent when feed levels are unchanged over time BINTRAC, from pg. 11 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 from his home office. But the real pudding in his setup is that his local co-op 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 coop 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

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.

Shortage, value make hay supply easy target 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 his 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.

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.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”
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

Cost of production driver in adoption of ag technology
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.”
How often should manure be analyzed when being pumped from open lagoons or pits beneath slat-floored livestock facilities? That’s a tough call because it’s more a function of how well the manure is agitated prior to pumping, Larsen said. Is this suggesting further processing of manure via anaerobic digesters will be happening to harvest even more product value? Yes, there is a trend line getting established partly due to government incentives for bio waste energy production. Larsen cautions that these same incentives for cogeneration of electricity and hot water also generate emission issues and air quality permitting issues. “This rapidly can get expensive and whether its EPA or MPCA there isn’t yet enough data or knowl-

Obviously costs of electricity are part of the economic analysis of the role of bio digesters in livestock operations. So too are the availability of incentives, be that through the local utility or state and/or federal sources. He said that Vermont, for example, offers incentives to its livestock producers to go the manure digester route. “We don’t yet have state incentives in 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. What’s ahead for on-farm wind power? In Minnesota it’s the 39 Kw “net metering” law, Larsen said. Net metering refers to selling the electrical energy produced by your wind turbine back to your local utility. 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

“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 agendadriven. “That’s a part of the beast we live with,” he 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.

Until recently, that meant smoky, smelly and often cantankerous two-cycle engines. But a couple years ago, Jiffy introduced a propanepowered 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. Portable, fabric-sided shelters have been popular for anglers for the last 25 years and have been refined for greater convenience, comfort and mobility. Most manufacturers now offer the standard flip-over and hub-and-frame designs. But the big trend with the major shelter players — Clam, Otter, Frabill and Eskimo — is some type of thermal insulation fabric. In theory, at least, the insulated models will minimize interior condensation and keep occupants more comfortable. Ring up about $300 for a one-man model and $600 or so if you want to fish 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

This is where my husband’s trashy gift enters the picture. 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? We all got up that Christmas morning — a little later than we used to get up when our children were small. Our rule back then was, “No one is up before 7 a.m.” After all, with a very busy Christmas Eve schedule, it got late before the children could get to bed, and before Santa was able to arrive. (Even Santa was dragging
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. Many a wife — and possibly, many a farm wife — probably would have thought this to be less than what she had hoped for in regard to a Christmas gift. But I loved it, not only because of the fact that it would make my life (and maybe his) a little easier, but he made it himself, which was also pretty special. “Trashy” gift or not, it was a great one, even if my husband could deduct it from our taxes. It was part of living simply. However, you can believe that I examined the interior for a beautiful pair of earrings before I ignited my first batch of trash in it.

Prepare to spend a chunk of money 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 Cnote 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.

CROSS, from pg. 17 line of flashers aimed at the ice fishing market. 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 warm-weather line. But you will be better served to spring for a line specially 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

THE LAND, DECEMBER 28, 2012
This column was written for the marketing week ending Dec. 21. So much for falling milk production. November output in the top 23 states totaled 14.9 billion pounds, up 1.1 percent from November 2011, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s preliminary data. Output in the 50 states, at 15.97 billion, was up 1 percent. Revisions added a million pounds to the original October estimate, now put at 15.2 billion, down
slightly from a year ago. November cow numbers, at 8.47 million, were up 8,000 from October but 3,000 less than a year ago. Output per cow averaged 1,758 pounds, up 19 from 2011. Wisconsin was up 4.7 percent thanks to a 70-pound gain per cow and 6,000 more cows. California was down 2.3 percent despite 2,000 more cows but high feed costs dropped output per cow by 45 pounds.

U.S.-Russian trade relations getting back on track Speaking of world trade, the U.S. Dairy Export Council says President Obama’s Dec. 14 signing of legislation granting permanent normal trade relations to Russia represents a major step toward reopening business with one of the world’s largest dairy buyers. U.S. dairy suppliers have been shut out of the Russian market since September 2010. The president’s action followed successful bipartisan votes by the House and Senate in the lame-duck session of Congress that began Nov. 13. The National Milk Producers Federation and USDEC actively supported PNTR for Russia and applauded the government’s actions to put the bill into law. “Twas the week before Christmas and all through the market, cheese did move higher but did not rocket.” The block price closed that Friday at $1.74 per pound, up a penny and a half on the week and 17.75 cents above a year
ago. The barrels closed at $1.6550, up 3 cents on the week, 9.5 cents above a year ago, but 8.5 cents below the blocks. A lot of cheese was brought to Chicago this week; six cars of block and 32 of barrel. The Agricultural Marketing Servicesurveyed block price fell to $1.8141, down a nickel. The barrels averaged $1.7546, down 4.6 cents. Butter erased the previous week’s half-cent advance, closing Friday at $1.5375, down 5.75 cents on the week and 5.75 cents below a year ago. Nine cars found new homes on the week. AMS butter averaged $1.5944, down 4.1 cents. AMS powder averaged $1.5456, up 0.3 cent, and dry whey averaged 65.41 cents, down 0.9 cent. Butter production is active throughout the country, according to DMN, as cream use for ice cream, sour cream, dips, and other holiday related items declines. The Federal order Class I base milk price kicks off 2013 on a down note.

MIELKE, from pg. 22 facturers are seeing steady to slowly increasing volumes. Better than expected component levels are adding to cheese yields. The Foreign Agricultural Service reported quota imports of cheese for January-November totaled 160.5 million pounds, up 6.6 percent from a year ago. Exports of cheese for January-October totaled 486.6 million pounds, up 20 percent from a year ago and exports account for 5.4 percent of U.S. production. Cooperatives Working Together accepted 41 requests for export assistance this week to sell 7.547 million pounds of cheese and 1.318 million pounds of butter to customers in Asia, the Middle East and North Africa. The product will be delivered through June and raised CWT’s 2012 cheese exports to 123.2 million pounds, 72.4 million of butter, 127,868 pounds of anhydrous milk fat and 171,961 pounds of whole milk powder to 36 countries on four continents.

See NYSTROM, pg. 26
See TEALE, pg. 26
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
The futures spreads give us a Leader — Grain Industry good indication of the commercial Rochester, Minn. 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 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 listSee NEHER, pg. 26

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 maintain margins. JOE TEALE Broker On the opposite side, the Great Plains Commodity expected lower cattle numbers Afton, Minn. 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 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.

The following market analysis is for the week ending Dec. 21. CORN — A lack of demand, the debacle in the soybean pit, long liquidation, improving conditions in Brazil, and uncertainty of the U.S. budget all contributed to the collapse this week as March corn closed at $7.02, down 28 3⁄4 cents for the week. March corn partially filled the gap left on the chart from back in July from $6.83 1⁄2 to $6.90 1⁄2, reaching $6.87 1⁄2 per bushel. During the week, March corn closed under $7.00 for the first time since July. The gap area coincides closely with the 200-day PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. moving average at $6.79 per St. Paul bushel which we haven’t traded under since June. After closing lower in 10 out of the last 11 sessions, corn staged a modest bounce into the weekend. December 2013 corn had the added negativity of Informa Economics’ huge 2013-14 corn acreage number of 99.0 million acres, the highest since 1936. This is an increase over last year of 2.1 million acres with 2.7 million acres from Conservation Reserve Program included in the total. Using a yield of 161.8 bushels per acre, they are anticipating a crop of 14.833 billion bushels. December 2013 corn was down 21 1⁄4 cents for the week at $6.06 3⁄4 per bushel. Weekly export sales were dismal once more at only 4.5 million bushels, less than half of last week’s total. Total export sales commitments are the lowest for this point in the marketing year since 1987, when weekly export sales reporting began. Weekly ethanol production was 2,000 bpd lower this week at 822,000 bpd and down 13 percent from last year. At this point

World didn’t end, but soybeans still took a hit NYSTROM, from pg. 25 in the marketing year, the annualized corn grind is running at 4.585 billion bushels versus the U.S. Department of Agriculture projection for 4.5 billion bushels. Ethanol stocks are at their largest since June. Winter storms across the Midwest have eased some of the worry about spring moisture levels and should help with river levels as well. Moving rocks in the Thebes area on the Mississippi River is proving effective and the Corps of Engineers have been able to delay using explosives. Navigation in the area closes for 16 hours per day, but no significant delays are anticipated with movement seasonally slow. The Dec. 21 cattle on feed report was friendly for corn with on feed and placements above expectations and marketings slightly less than anticipated. Argentina indicated this week that their corn acreage will be down to 4.6 million hectares from 4.7 million previously estimated. OUTLOOK: Year-end liquidation and oversold conditions are making the market cautious about being short at these levels since this year’s ending stocks are tight and it’s uncertain how South America will handle an extremely busy shipping season. Winter moisture, however, may limit the upside for the time being for the December 2013 contract. While we are still facing very tight stocks this year, it may take some time for the market to re-engage. New Year’s price history in March corn: the day before New Year’s it has closed unchanged or higher in each of the last ten years. The first day after New Year’s, it has closed unchanged or higher eight out of the last ten years. SOYBEANS — As I write, the calendar is flipped to Dec. 21, the day the Mayan calendar said the world would end. While the world hasn’t come to an end yet, it may seem that way to anyone with long soybean positions.
DAHL FARM SUPPLY 507-826-3463 • 507-383-4931 Travis Seed Carts “Where Farm and Family Meet”
Soybeans came under heavy pressure this week as China canceled a total of 840 thousand metric tons of U.S. purchases, and another 120 tmt to unknown destinations was also canceled (about 35 million bushels total). With demand curtailed and possibly switching to South America, at least for now, sellers stepped in and buyers backed away. Here’s the rub concerning the Chinese cancellations: chatter is that the cancellations could just be an adjustment to a frame contract. A frame contract or “in principle only” contract usually doesn’t have any pricing associated with it, but the commitment to buy is what has been reduced. The Chinese signed one back in February with the United States for 13.4 mmt. Along with the cancellations is talk that China is still in the market to buy beans. In the weekly export sales report, it was noted that 474.2 tmt of beans had been sold to China. From the high on Monday in the January contract of $15.08 3⁄4 to the Thursday low of $14.02 3⁄4, beans were off $1.06 high to low. While Christmas seasonals are strongly positive, this setback puts that history at risk. January beans have been higher the day before Christmas nine out of the last ten years and higher the day after eight out of the last ten years. Weekly export sales were ho-hum in beans at 22.8 million bushels and less than the trade expected. Total export commitments for the year are 1.114 billion
bushels as compared to the USDA forecast for 1.345 billion bushels. Informa Economics updated 2013 acreage estimate for U.S. soybeans is 78.96 million acres. This is up 1.8 million acres from last year. A crop of 3.411 billion bushels is arrived at by using a 43.8 bu./acre yield. There has been market chatter that Brazil’s bean crop could be as large as 84-86 mmt on improved conditions. The USDA’s November estimate was 81 mmt. OUTLOOK: A bounce ended the week and the string of 3 consecutive lower closes. January soybeans were down 65 1⁄4 cents for the week, settling at $14.30 3⁄4 and November 2013 was down 17 cents at $13.00 1⁄2 per bushel. The post-harvest low at $13.72 1⁄4 set in November is the next support for January soybeans. March soybeans have closed higher the day before New Year’s for the last four years, and have closed higher the day before nine out of the last ten years. The day after New Year’s, it has closed unchanged or higher in seven of the last ten years. Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ended Dec. 21: March Minneapolis wheat was down 22 1⁄4 cents with Chicago and Kansas City each 22 cents lower. Crude oil gained $1.41 to close at $88.66, heating oil was up over 3 1⁄4 cents, gasoline was 5 1⁄2 cents higher, and natural gas rose 12 1⁄2 cents. The U.S. dollar was virtually unchanged for the week. The next USDA report is Jan. 11, which for the first time will be released at 11:00 am CT. ❖
TEALE, from pg. 25
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. ❖

Hogs are stumbling after recovery 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
Investment crowd absent from market NEHER, from pg. 25 less 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 avoided the “fiscal cliff” at the end of 2012. After that, investors may become more interested in commodity markets. Around our house the preparations for the holiday season are in full swing. I have been told that I can be rather a “grump” when it comes to this type of activity. I admit it, I do like the Thanksgiving season more than the commercial crush of the Christmas holidays. I know that I am rather “old school” when it comes to these types of things in my life. I remember sitting around the kitchen table in the farm house making peanut brittle on cold winter nights before Christmas. We would sit there with bowls of unshelled peanuts making a mess as the brittle was stirred on the stove. As it was spread and cooled, seasoned with a light sprinkle of salt, I could taste the simple pleasures of being home for Christmas. Take a moment this year to remember “the reason for the season.” ❖

Rock ‘n’ roll
This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Assistant Editor Tom Royer
are back roads, and then there are There back roads. This one you’ll probably need a plane to get to. Oh, and also your passport.
<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>
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.
“Where Farm and Family Meet”
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. ❖
