We became dangerously close across much of our “farm belt” this past year. It could be worse for 2013. Encouraging from Baize was his comment that American farmers will always be a major player because of the continually rising world population. He says agriculture will always be the bedrock industry but leaner times are likely. Last January he was speculating that land prices will fall back. Cash rents will need to be adjusted. And just maybe U.S. agriculture can survive in a free market economy if all nations play by the same rules. However fat chance with China, home of the world’s largest agriculture, pretty much calling the shots. At a November Agri-Growth conference, Wells Fargo economist Michael Swanson shared a comment by economist John Keynes who said, “The market can stay stupid longer than you can stay solvent.” Swanson cautioned his audience that while one could recognize an opportunity where the market is out of adjustment and bet against it, the mar-

Letter: People must wake up on taxes, spending “Where Farm and Family Meet”

To the Editor: “What’s ahead for America?” by Staff Writer Dick Hagen (“Land Minds,” Nov. 23 issue) was an outstanding opinion. It showed the impossible thinking our country is doing. We will need to sharpen our wits if we are to survive our overwhelming government in our lives. We have to quit overspending and overtaxing our people to survive and flourish. Middle-income people will be paying a lot if we don’t wake up on taxes and spending. Soaking the rich only happens once and is not the answer. It is only class envy being promoted. It is also very destructive to destory socalled rich, as you don’t get a job from a poor person. Dolores McClernon Tintah, Minn.

Reader restraint: Won’t call Guebert ‘gasified windbag’

OPINION

freshly barbered wheat field.’” Or Vickie, who “was in DC all last week” but upon arrival home, in Lincoln, Neb., in mid-September, “decided to see what I had missed in our Sunday paper. Since I always read your column I turned to it” to read the account of the Washington, D.C., wedding of the lovely Catherine and my daughter, Mary Grace, to Andrew Foxwell on Labor Day. “How surprised I was ... because my son was not only Andrew’s roommate in D.C. but was the violin player at their wedding. I have met your lovely daughter ... and she even made me dinner one night!” And there’s this from Jim, “a Baptist preacher two generations removed from the farm,” “Thanks for writing about the memorable ceremonies in your family.” He signed it, “Soli Deo Gloria!” That’s a good place to both end and begin a year: Soli Deo Gloria. And for the record, I didn’t write that either. Alan Guebert’s “Farm and Food File” is published weekly in more than 70 newspapers in North America. Contact him at agcomm@farmandfoodfile.com.❖

ther insures crops nor ensures the nation’s food supply. One correspondent, who with “my husband and three children are family farmers and ranchers,” knows “that crop insurance is subsidized by the government. However, it’s also true that until recently the government worked extremely hard to keep crop price low.” She concluded by suggesting the family will “gladly pay (our insurance) share as long as we can get back our share ...” and, “P.S. All three of my children ... were highly offended by your column, also.” One Ontario e-mailer informed me that I had buried a venerable farm servant that was yet very much alive. “You mentioned in one article that Mix-Mill is ‘a long-ago brand for small, farm-based feed-making’ ... It still is. Mix-Mill remains a thriving and customer-focused brand ...” Sorry, Mix-Mill (http://atferrell.com/mix-mill).

Within his book, “Embracing Obscurity — Becoming nothing in light of God’s everything,” the author Anonymous (how’s that for walking the talk?), writes, “We’re intoxicated with a desire to be known, recognized, appreciated, and respected. We crave to be a ‘somebody’ and do notable things, to achieve our dreams and gain the admiration of others. To be something — anything — other than nothing.” It’s a book that teaches true humility and challenges readers to evaluate their motives for doing what they do. When we volunteer or make a donation is it out of true care and concern for the ones we’re serving or are we hoping for some recognition and approval from others? Do we purchase what we purchase because we need it or because we’re hoping to impress people? It’s a convicting read. It’s what made the anonymous gifts of goodies especially sweet. I thought of all the nameless faces across our landscape who care for children, who scoop snow in

subzero weather for the elderly, who volunteer behind the scenes at schools and churches, who give generously without recognition, who put the needs of others before themselves, who spend hours in prayer for people without ever telling another soul about the amount of time they spend each day on their knees. These people will probably never be named Time’s Person of the Year, or make national headlines, or receive awards or accolades from the international community. That’s ok. Pastor and author Rick Warren puts it in perspective when he says, “Being important isn’t important. Be loving.” Loving, humble acts of service matter. This world, this year, will be a better place when we care less about being recognized and more about recognizing how many people need us to reach out to them in love.

The Johnson Clan gave three out of three ‘yums’ to Pepper Jack Chicken Pasta

chopped 1 yellow pepper, chopped 1 chili pepper, seeded and minced 2 tablespoons lime juice 2 small palms cilantro Brown sugar to taste Cook all ingredients in a sauce pan until rhubarb cooks down and peppers are tender. Pour in hot jars and seal. ■ Take one pumpkin pie, fluff it up into a pancake shape, and that’s pretty much the flavors you’re going to get with Pumpkin Pancakes. Break out of your routine and serve these the next time you’re craving buttery hotcakes.

Pumpkin Pancakes Submitted by Ken and Lisa Schnoor 2 cups all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons brown sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon ground allspice 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 cups milk 1 cup pumpkin or squash 1 egg 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 tablespoon vinegar Combine the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, allspice, cinnamon, ginger and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the milk, pumpkin, egg, oil and vinegar. Stir dry ingredients into pumpkin mixture just enough to combine. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or fry pan over medium heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using about 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve with warm maple syrup.

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent Since 1905, Janesville, a small Waseca County, Minn., town with big heart, has been keeping the community spirit alive with its annual Hay Daze celebration, complete with parade, pageant, beer tent and Sunday morning worship service (also in the beer tent, perhaps to remind sinners of recent misdeeds). Keeping this thing going year after year is no easy task, and it doesn’t pay for itself, either. So organizers are hoping to get some extra revenue from the sale of a community cookbook, “What’s Cooking in Janesville,” full of recipes that Janesvillers love, and so will you. The cookbook is beautifully bound and features both up-to-the-minute recipes as well as old family favorites. It was produced by the Chamber of Commerce and is available at local merchants. Here are a few sample recipes. ■ For a quick dinner that tastes like you spent all day in kitchen, try Pepper Jack Chicken Pasta. Thick mosticalli noodles (alternatively spelled mostaccioli), tender chicken and black beans smothered in a spicy cheese sauce — so good on a cold day! Three out of three “yums” from the Johnson clan. Make sure you fix enough for tomorrow’s leftovers ...

Cover story: WWII plane museum is Fagen’s pride Ron Fagen is a Granite Falls, Minn., entrepreneur whose name became an industrial legend during the construction boom days of the United States ethanol industry. During that exploding era — late 1990s until the mid2000s — his firm was building about 80 percent of all the new ethanol plants being constructed in the United States, more than 100 in all. Fagen Construction is still going strong in the energy world, including erecting towers for wind farms across the north central states, building a full-scale cellulosic (corn stover) ethanol plant in Iowa, and expanding globally with European projects. But Ron Fagen has completed an entirely different and personal project to show off these days — an incredible new World War II Fighter Plane Museum which officially opened Sept. 29, 2012 at the Granite Falls airport. This amazing structure has already captured the fancy of aviation enthusiasts across America. Built as a tribute to his late father, Raymond, who participated in the June 6, 1944 D-Day Utah Beach invasion of Europe, this huge museum is 90 feet wide, 200 feet long and 28 feet tall. Steel framed and steel rafter construction, this tremendously spatial interior is now a world-class showcase of pristine World War II fighter and trainer air planes. The WWII-era planes on display inside this incredible museum include a P-51 Mustang monogrammed as “Sweet Revenge,” a Lockheed P-38 Lightning “Ruff Stuff,” a P-40 Flying Tiger labeled “Desert Shark,” and a BT-13 Trainer. This same hangar also houses General Omar Bradley’s DDay Willy Jeep, a Harley Davidson

Engineer: Farmers seeking environmental services manure facilities for hogs and cattle, soil erosion issues plus a bucketful of “little fixes” where the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has identified a pollution problem is the daily agenda. “My approach is look for commonsense solutions that will protect the environment without infringing on the strategic operation of that particular client,” Skonard said. As slat-floored confinement structures become more commonplace, livestock producers often ask about animal safety and comfort. “Livestock people know that concrete can chew up hooves, sometimes causing lameness, even downers. And that is why we’re seeing rubber mats being used more and more on concrete slats. It’s a matter of comfort,” he said. Lagoons are sometimes still part of the engineering process. “And that’s simply because a lagoon is often the most cost-effective way of handling livestock manure. But each site is unique,”

said Skonard, “and sometimes county regulations don’t permit lagoons.” How do engineering firms charge for their services? With Bollig Inc. it starts with a site evaluation to get a handle on what type of services will be needed. Then preliminary cost estimates would likely be done on a “lump sum” basis that identifies individual key components. Hourly charges, however, are more common if there are weather conditions or contractor issues that can’t be controlled by Bollig Inc. Is the strong economy of agriculture creating more interest in engineering services? “Yes, we see farmers more frequently asking if and how they can better man-

age the environment of their particular farming operation. A common question is what will it take to get them into compliance and what will it cost. Yes, I see a definite concern from farmers about how they can become better stewards of the land,” Skonard said. This means constant study and understanding by engineering firms of rules and regulations as they pertain to livestock and crop production. He said he’s on the telephone weekly to various feedlot engineers in various counties. “I explain what I think needs to happen on this particular farm. I ask, ‘What are you saying?’ Sometimes compromise is the solution. They’ve been real good working with us on these issues,” said Skonard. ❖

THE LAND, JANUARY 4, 2013

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer “I’m not going to tell a farmer how to manage his site. He tells me how he wants to manage it and I will engineer around that.” That candid response was from Cris Skonard, PhD., P.E., and senior engineer with Bollig Inc., an engineering and environmental firm at Willmar, Minn., when asked how his firm works with farmers. His firm exhibited at the December annual conference of the Minnesota State Cattlemen Association in Alexandria. He said a key issue when working with consulting engineers is that farmers understand each project is different. “We’re not going to be there every day so getting it to work for that particular client is what our business is all about.” Bollig Inc. provides services across the board to municipalities, manufacturing facilities, business firms and more recently a growing business in the agricultural world.

Livestock feed costs drive interest in additives By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer There’s nothing like higher feed costs to drive interest in new additives that potentially increase feed efficiency in your livestock. Interviewed at a Dec. 13 Minnesota Cattle Feeders Day event at Tracy, Ben Holland, technical services specialist with Merck Animal Health, said, “the higher costs of commodity feedstuffs have definitely created an incentive amongst cattle feeders to become more efficient, both economically and environmentally in usage of their resources.” A good example is Merck’s Zilmax, a beta agonist agent that acts directly on the muscle cell causing it to increase in size. “Zilmax binds to each muscle cell with the net result of more carcass weight in the finished animal without requiring any additional feed, water or other resources,” said Holland. He explained that in all muscles there is an ongoing buildup and breakdown of muscle tissue; it’s a constant cycle in all livestock — humans, too. The addition of Zilmax in the finishing ration alters and slows that process so the ratio of what’s being deposited is greater than what’s being broken down. “And the net result is an increase in muscle mass,” said Holland. Additives obviously have a cost-effectiveness consideration. A plus for Zilmax is that it produces results with only a 20-day usage in the finishing ration. However the product has Food & Drug Administration clearance for usage the last 20 to 40 days, with a three-day withdrawal prior to marketing.

Marketed as a feed additive, the label indicates 6.8 grams per ton of ration in a Total Mixed Daily Ration program. The product’s cost is adjusted monthly based on live carcass price values. “This gives a continual return to the feeder at a 2-to-1 ratio. If cattle prices go up, the cost of Zilmax goes up and vice versa with declining cattle prices,” noted Holland. How often does a manufacturer offer a pricing system that assures a consistent expectation of cost effectiveness? Based on current cattle prices, the product costs a feeder $26 to $28 per head for a 20-day feeding period. Over 50,000 head of cattle have been studied with Zilmax in over 20 different locations to verify performance data, both from a biological standpoint and a performance standpoint. When “altering” muscle structure of a beef critter, are you altering taste and flavor? Not so, said Holland, noting consumer taste panels involving over

3,000 people with no taste difference from beef finished with the Zilmax additive, versus no Zilmax. The product has been in the U.S. market since 2007; globally since the late 1990s. Holland said the product continues to enjoy a growing market. He estimated over 6 million head of U.S. beef will be marketing with Zilmax in the finishing ration this year. Tom Revier, of Revier Cattle Company in Olivia, Minn., pays extreme attention to feeding costs. The firm markets over 15,000 head of cattle yearly from both confinement (on slats) and open feedlots. “(Zilmax is) a fabulous product,” he said. “Our only issue is that it slightly lowers the grade of the finished carcass. But the big plus is that it adds size to the highest valued portions of the carcass, the loins and the rib section. ... And for an industry that might soon be short of beef for the consumer market, this added tonnage might take on significant impact.” ❖

Checkoff helps bring 45 new soy-based products to marketplace Soybeans are a very versatile crop that can help meet the world’s needs for food, feed, fuel — and 45 new products brought to the marketplace this year with the help of the soy checkoff. “These 45 products represent 45 new ways of enhancing the market for our soybeans,” says Russ Carpenter, a soy checkoff farmer-leader from Trumansburg, N.Y. “All of the products the checkoff helped develop this year and in past years, including some that we can use on our farms, come together to create a valuable market for our soy.” The checkoff provides funding to manufacturers of industrial and consumer products to research, develop and commercialize new products that contain soy. Partnerships like these have helped bring hundreds of new soy products to the marketplace, dramatically increasing demand for U.S. soy oil in the process. This year’s list includes new additions to some popular soy-based product categories, such as foam, candle wax and elevator fluids. But it also includes products in some completely new categories like paintballs, gel mattress filling and nail-polish remover. Industrial demand, including biodiesel manufacturing, is on a steep upward trend. In the last 10 years, industrial uses for soy have grown almost fivefold. Manufacturers use soy oil as a replacement for petrochemicals to make their products more renewable and more environmentally friendly while maintaining or, in some cases, exceeding performance. Soy products are often more biodegradable and contain fewer volatile organic compounds than traditional products.

Emmetsburg, Iowa, soybean farmer Jim Stillman will be leading the soy checkoff for 2013, and he’ll have plenty of help. Not only will Stillman, who was elected chairman on Dec. 6, have the other 68 volunteer United Soybean Board farmer-leaders to assist him, he just received strategy recommendations from nearly 400 representatives of the U.S. soy value chain. USB recently concluded the CONNECTIONS 2012 conference and its annual meeting, two events that will help USB lead the industry forward. For two days at CONNECTIONS, industry influencers, including soybean farmer-leaders, researchers, technology companies, soy customers and many more, identified upcoming challenges and opportunities facing the industry. Those participants then planned the industry’s future strategy based on those issues. USB’s annual meeting followed, and the 69-member board elected Stillman as USB’s new chairman before immediately beginning to put the CONNECTIONS recommendations into action to increase profit opportunities for all U.S. soybean farmers. “We organize CONNECTIONS to get input from as many different industry representatives as possible, which makes the results even stronger,” says Stillman, who has been a checkoff farmer-leader since 2005, most recently serving as Vice Chair. “The next step will require even more collaboration than this one. We’ll work with the entire soy value chain to implement these results in a way that will allow us all to gain.” Also at this meeting, USB transitioned from its old

ASA announces 2013 officers, committee assignments The Board of Directors of the American Soybean Association confirmed Danny Murphy from Canton, Miss., as president and Steve Wellman from Syracuse, Neb., as chairman. Board members also elected Ray Gaesser from Corning, Iowa, to serve as first vice president, an office that places Gaesser in line to be ASA president in 2014. Also elected were Randy Mann from Auburn, Ky., as secretary and Richard Wilkins from Greenwood, Del., as treasurer. Four vice presidents were also elected: Bob Henry from Robinson, Kan.; Bob Worth from Lake Benton, Minn.; Wade Cowan from Brownfield, Texas; and Mark Jackson from Rose Hill, Iowa. These soybean farmer-leaders form the nine-member ASA Executive Committee. Elections were held on Dec. 7, during ASA’s winter Board of Director’s meeting in St. Louis. “My goals include completing the 2012 farm bill, continuing to work with the other organizations in our

soy family and impressing upon soybean farmers the need for and value of ASA’s representation in Washington, D.C.,” Murphy said. “ASA will continue working to get a Farm Bill done in the Lame Duck session or early next year — the drought this year should make it evident how critical crop insurance is to soybean farmers. “And to meet the demand for food and feed that will be required by the expected world population of 9 billion people in 2050, U.S. soybean farmers will need to sustainably increase our production in the face of increased regulation, competition from other crops, unfounded questions on the safety of biotechnology, and slow approvals of new biotech traits.” Following the elections, committee assignments were announced.

The following market analysis is for the week ending Dec. 28. CORN — After closing higher on each side of Christmas for the past eight years, corn history failed this year when March corn closed lower the day after the holiday. A lack of demand is at the forefront of the decline, but improving conditions in South America, the absence of traders during the holiday week and the fear that the United States will go over the fiscal cliff added to the negative sentiment and subdued any buying interest before the end of the year. The thin markets played into PHYLLIS NYSTROM the hands of the bears where low CHS Hedging Inc. St. Paul volumes can exaggerate moves for little perceivable reason. Daily volumes in the first half of the week were about half of the daily average in December. During the week, both the March and December 2013 contract closed at their lowest levels since July. U.S. corn continues to be uncompetitive on the world market as seen when South Korea bought South American corn this week and Taiwan passed on a tender. Brazilian corn continues to reach U.S. southeastern shores. Logistics could become a nightmare: on the PNW, workers rejected the last offer, but are continuing to work; the Mississippi River may effectively be closed by Jan. 3 or 4 due to low water and on-going work to remove rock obstructions. Weekly export sales were a disappointment at just 4.1 million bushels, the second-lowest in the last 11 weeks, and running 48 percent behind last year. Corn

At the end of the year 2012, cattle prices were near their all-time highs, while hog prices were in the midrange of their entire years’ range. As we move into the new year, the prognosticators will be guessing at how cattle and hog prices will be through the entire upcoming year based upon what happened last year. The problem being that some new factors will effect the markets over the next 12 months, which will be mainly economic factors that will have a direct bearing on demand for meat products. The cattle market has been in a long-term upward trend for most of the year. This trend has been fueled by the supply of cattle which JOE TEALE has been on a downward trend for Broker years. At the same time the domes- Great Plains Commodity tic demand for beef has also been Afton, Minn. on a downward trend, although at a slower decline than the supply of cattle. Export business has improved over the past year which appears to be the underlying strength to the market rather than the softening domestic demand. Cattle numbers are expected to remain smaller through the year, which should keep the supply bulls satisfied. From the demand standpoint, with advent of a series of new taxes on the American public, disposable income will undoubtedly shrink the demand for beef, when compared to the less expensive meats and meat alternatives. Overall, it would appear that the cattle market will continue to remain at price levels that are in the upper half of the price over the past several years. Producers should continue to monitor the market and protect inventories as events warrant. The hog market, in difference to the cattle market,

As we look towards the 2013 crop year, we see that many questions remain unanswered. We have talked about the need for an above-average crop coming out of the southern hemisphere. We have talked about the fears of a back-to-back drought and how that could affect prices. We keep focusing on the supply side of the equation, but we must remember that the heart and core of this market has been the Renewable Fuels Standard passed in 2005. This political action created a demand-driven market. As we know, demand-driven markets are much stronger and last longer than supply-driven markets. As we have watched the TOM NEHER political powers grinding away in AgStar VP & Team gridlock on the “fiscal cliff” debate, Leader — Grain Industry the larger markets have traded Rochester, Minn. lower while deleveraging their risk in the markets. This is another example of how the political climate can impact prices. The political action that created the Renewable Fuels Standard could be changed with the stroke of a pen. The political element is just one thing that could impact demand for corn. The greatest impact could be if we were to have a production problem in 2013 and prices take run to the upside. This could crack the demand bubble, with greater long-term damage to grain demand than the political risk could inflict. When true demand from livestock feeders and our export customers is damaged, it takes longer to recover than many producers with high land costs may endure. If we look at the long-term global demand projection for 2012-13 corn, we see the first decrease in 19 years. This decrease of 15.25 million metric tons

THE LAND, JANUARY 4, 2013

Demand for soy products remains alive and well NYSTROM, from pg. 23 inspections/shipments are running 53 percent behind last year. Total exports are forecast by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to only drop 25 percent from last year. This pace leads to expectations that the USDA will lower exports on the January 11th crop production report. However, total production is also expected to fall, which will counter the export decline. In a holiday-delayed report, weekly ethanol production increased by 12,000 bpd to 834,000 bpd. Stocks fell slightly, down 500,000 barrels, to 20.3 million barrels. OUTLOOK: The lack of interested in U.S. corn continues to hang over the market and gives traders little incentive to add to length going into the end of the year. There remains a gap in March corn from $6.83 1⁄2 to $6.87 1⁄2 that held this week. Resistance is the old support level of $7.15 per bushel. This week March corn fell 8 cents to close at $6.94 and the December 2013 contract at $5.99 3⁄4 was off 7 cents. Corn may trade in consolidating fashion until we see the USDA’s Jan. 11 balance sheet. New Year’s price history in March corn: session before New Year’s it has closed unchanged or higher in all 10 of the last 10 years. In the first session of the New Year, it has closed unchanged or higher in 8 of the last 10 years. SOYBEANS — Soybeans failed to hold earlyweek gains and, like corn, became the outlier to price action around the Christmas holiday by closing lower Dec. 26. Safras upped their soybean production estimate for Brazil from 82.4 mmt to 84.3 mmt, the highest estimate to be seen in print and versus USDA’s 81 mmt

projection. Abiove, a private Brazilian company, pushed their Brazilian estimate to 81.6 mmt. South America still has some problem spots in Argentina and Brazil, but on the whole the weather has taken a back seat to other news events. China returned to the buying arena when the USDA announced sales of 280 tmt to them and another 108 tmt sold to unknown this week. A sale of 30 tmt of bean oil was also reported sold to unknown. Weekly inspections/shipments total 55 percent of the projected export sales for this year after the 44.5 million reported this week. We only need to ship 16.7 million per week to achieve the current USDA export estimate. Shipments to China were the lowest since September. On the weekly sales side, soybean sales were the lowest of the marketing year at 3.2 million (last week’s 840 tmt Chinese cancellations were included, but total commitments to China only fell 272 tmt). Total U.S. sales commitments are 28 percent ahead of last year. The USDA is currently projecting exports to be down 1.2 percent from last year. Early soybean harvest has begun in the Mato Grosso region in Brazil, according to Dr. Cordonnier. Yields were reported between 36-43.5 bushels per acre. The Doctor also lowered his Argentine bean production by 1 mmt to 54 mmt and versus USDA’s 55 mmt estimate. The forecast for Brazil and Argentina is a moot point for traders with Argentina looking at a dry period to plant and Brazil’s dry regions shrinking.

OUTLOOK: Our tight balance sheet hasn’t been much help this week, but the world needs South America to stage a smooth transition for soybean exports. Can that actually happen? The U.S. budget chaos, logistics and upcoming Jan. 11 crop report have made traders nervous about carrying a position as we head into month/quarter/year end. Demand for our soy products remains alive and well, which still puts a friendly spin on prices down the road. March soybeans retreated 11 1⁄4 cents to close at $14.18 while the November 2013 contract gained 9 3⁄4 cents to settle at $13.10 1⁄4 per bushel. Price action in March soybeans around the New Year’s holiday: in the session before New Year’s it has closed higher 9 out of the last 10 years. In the first session of the New Year, it has closed unchanged or higher in 7 out of the last 10 years. Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending Dec. 28: March Minneapolis wheat was down 13 cents, Chicago was 13 1⁄4 cents lower, and Kansas City lost 16 1⁄4 cents. February crude oil was $2.14 higher at $90.80, heating oil was up a penny, gasoline rose 4 1⁄4 cents and natural gas was down 1 1⁄4 cents. The U.S. dollar index was .07 points higher at 79.69. The next USDA report is Jan. 11, which for the first time will be released at 11:00 am Central. This material has been prepared by a sales or trading employee or agent of CHS Hedging Inc. and should be considered a solicitation. ❖

Pork demand increased through 2012 TEALE, from pg. 23 has had no supply problems as numbers of hogs has remained at fairly stable levels. In fact the latest U.S. Department of Agriculture Quarterly Hogs and Pigs Report released on Dec. 28, indicated that the hog inventory was equal with the previous year. The results were as follows: All hogs and pigs as of Dec. 1 100 percent, Kept for breeding 100 percent, and Kept for marketing 100 percent. This report was seen as slightly negative as pre-report estimates suggested that the overall inventory would be on the decline. The outlook for hog prices would suggest that the

price range of 2012 will be close to the price range for 2013. The interesting point is that demand for pork products has been on the increase throughout the year, both export and domestic. This increase in interest appears to be the result of the price for pork products being a better value than its competitive meat sources. Should this trend continue, this would be supportive to prices in the long term. Producers are urged to keep abreast of market conditions and protect inventories when opportunities arise. I would like to wish everyone a very happy and prosperous new year. ❖

Many days of volatility yet ahead NEHER, from pg. 23 includes a projected drop in U.S. demand of 24.57 million metric tons. When we compare this to an increase in demand from foreign countries of 9.31 million metric tons, we have to conclude that the threat to the demand market in corn comes from the United States and not from the developing countries. In the United States the projected feed demand is down to 4.15 billion bushels, the lowest since 198889, while export demand of 1.15 billion bushels is the lowest since 1974-75. Could it be that our global competitors are waiting to fill any disruption in the U.S. supply chain? We see the early projections for the 2013 corn acres planted increasing to nearly 98 million acres, up from 96.9 million acres planted in 2012. If we use a below

trend line yield of 150 bushels per acre and assume that 91.5 percent of the planted acres is harvested it would produce a 13.4 billion bushel corn crop. This would be a new record crop for the United States. As I said at the beginning of this column, there are many questions still unanswered. The markets will keep a close eye on production in South America and the growing conditions in the United States will be monitored on a regular basis. There will be many days of volatility yet ahead of us to leverage. With the markets trading lower to sideways at best, we must wonder what is being priced into the market. Could it be the impact of crumbling demand? I have met very few Bears in this market lately and it is starting to remind me of some advice that my Grandpa shared with me many years ago: “Beware when everyone runs to the same side of the boat.” ❖

Just one thing is certain for 2013: Continued uncertainty

this is expected to be the case through early January. ■ Cash butter remains in a melt down, losing another four cents Christmas Week, and fell to $1.4975, 9.75 cents below a year ago. Two cars were sold on the week. AMS butter averaged $1.6017, up 0.7 cent. Cash Grade A and Extra Grade nonfat dry milk remained at $1.5575 and $1.56 respectively, where they have been since late November. AMS powder averaged $1.5596, up 1.4 cents, and dry whey averaged 66.78 cents, up 1.3 cents. A combination of factors is influencing prices, according to DMN. Butter prices declining to levels last present during mid-July, cream offerings being heavy and expected to increase, and butterfat tests since July substantially above the last few years, all lead to surplus cream that exceeds demand. The surplus is expected to increase due to the holidays. The only real and viable outlet for the surplus cream will be the churn, warns the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This leads to a complex situation where manufacturers are averse to building inventories concurrent See MIELKE, pg. 28

■ DMN reports that manufacturing milk supplies were increasing across the nation going into the holiday period due to seasonal declines in Class I and II demand. Manufacturing milk supplies were expected to keep dryers at or near capacity levels in the Eastern and Central regions and Western processors were expected to have adequate capacity to handle the increased volumes. Milk production is increasing steadily in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Central regions with rising protein and butterfat levels. Production in California and the Southwest is steady to building slightly but below a year ago. A new yogurt plant has opened in Idaho and will be ramping up the amount of milk it takes. Looking across the pond; New Zealand milk production is steady to slightly lower as the milk season moves further away from the peak. October output was almost 4 percent higher than a year ago. Seasonal numbers through October were up 6 percent, reports DMN, while Australian output has been growing slightly in recent weeks. November totals are about 1 percent above a year ago. Estimates of seasonal totals growing by 2 percent are expected to be lowered.

these issues on selected corn, soybean, and wheat crop insurance policies. TA-APH yield adjustments The TA-APH yield adjustment factors are made on a county basis, based on historical annual increases in county-average corn, soybean, and wheat yields, as calculated by the National Agricultural Statistics Service. Most counties in South Central and Southwestern Minnesota had a TA-APH yield adjustment factor of 2.2-2.5 bushels per acre for corn, and 0.350.50 bushels per acre for soybeans in 2012. Producers should check with their crop insurance agent for the TA-APH yield adjustment factors for 2013 in their county. A producer’s actual APH yields (4-10 years) are then used with the county TA-APH adjustment factors to arrive at a final TA-APH yield. The TA-APH yield adjustment factor is added for each year of production history, up to a maximum of 10 years. For example, if the yield adjustment factor for corn is 2.5 bushels per acre, then 2.5 bushels per acre is added for the most recent year (2012), 5.0 bushels per acre is added for the preceding year (2011), and 7.5 bushels per acre for the year before that (2010), etc. The maximum yield adjustment for year 10 (2003) would be 25 bushels per acre (2.5 Bu./A. x 10 years). Please see Table No. 1 for a TAAPH example for corn, and Table No. 2 for a TAAPH example for soybeans. The TA-APH yield does have a yearly maximum or “cap” for any given year during the 4-10 years that are used to calculate the final TA-APH. The yield “cap” for any year is the highest reported

Drought-hit yields in 2012 will affect 2013 calculations PROGRAMS, from pg. 29 yearly yield during the 4-10 years plus the yield adjustment factor. For example, if the highest reported corn yield on a farm unit was 190 bushels per acre, and the yield adjustment factor was 2.5 bushels per acre, the “cap” yield for any year, after adjustments, would be 192.5 bushels per acre. In the TA-APH example for corn in Table No. 1, the highest yield was 194 bushels per acre in 2011, so the “cap” yield is 196.5 bushels per acre. Based on the TA-APH formula, the yield adjustment for 2011 would be 5.0 bushels per acre; however, since that would exceed the “cap” yield, an adjustment of 2.5 bushels per acre was used to arrive at a final maximum yield of 196.5 bushels per acre. This situation will likely affect 2013 TA-APH calculations for many corn and soybean producers in parts of the upper Midwest, due to 2012 yields being lower than 2010 and 2011 yields, as a result of the 2012 drought. Other details on the TA-APH yield endorsement • The TA-APH yield endorsement is available for both Yield Protection (YP) and Revenue Protection (RP) policies for corn and soybeans in 2013 at all coverage levels, except the catastrophic level (CAT) of 50 %. Group crop insurance policies, such as GRIP or GRP, also utilize TA-APH yields for policy guarantees. • The decision on whether to use the TA-APH yield endorsement for the coming year must be made by the crop insurance sales closing date, which is March 15, 2013 for corn, soybeans, and spring wheat in most Upper Midwest States. • To be eligible for the TA-APH yield endorsement for corn, soybeans, or wheat in 2013, the farm unit must be in a County that is eligible for the TA-APH endorsement. • The decision to utilize the TA-APH yield endorsement is crop specific, and is on a County basis. So, a producer could choose to use TA-APH for corn and not for soybeans, or they could use TAAPH in one County, but not in another County. • The TA-APH yield endorsement is a continuous insurance policy, and will continue in effect unless the producer chooses to drop the endorsement, or unless RMA ends the TA-APH endorsement.

Impacts of selecting the TA-AYP endorsement For producers with four or more years of actual production history for corn and soybeans on a farm unit, which has shown increasing yields over that period, there should be a noticeable yield increase with the TA-APH yield endorsement. The yield improvement will vary depending on the actual yield history on the farm unit, the number of years of production history, and the county yield adjustment factor. Based on the TA-APH example for corn shown in Table No. 1, there was a yield improvement of 13.5 bushels per acre, from 173.5 bushels per acre with the standard APH to 187.0 bushels per acre with TAAPH. The TA-APH example for soybeans in Table No. 2 showed an increase of 2.2 bushels per acre, from an APH yield of 46.0 bushels per acre to 48.2 bushels per acre with TA-APH.

Producers encouraged to contact insurance agent South Dakota. 2013 wheat premiums should be about 10 percent lower in Minnesota, and slightly higher in North and South Dakota. Actual crop insurance premium adjustments will vary by county, and will depend on the insurance coverage level selected. The bottom line The TA-AHP yield endorsement looks to be a very attractive option for many producers on their 2013 crop insurance policies. The combination of the TAAPH endorsement, along with the reductions in crop insurance premiums at comparable coverage levels for most producers, will allow many producers to enhance their crop insurance revenue guarantees for corn, soybeans and wheat in 2013. This should allow crop producers to be more aggressive in forward pricing a higher percentage of their anticipated 2013

crop production during these times of highly volatile market prices. Producers are encouraged to contact their crop insurance agent well ahead of the March 15 deadline for 2013 crop insurance enrollment to find out more details about the TA-APH yield endorsement. There is a lot of variation with the TA-APH endorsement from county to county, farm unit-to-farm unit, and between corn, soybeans and wheat. Crop insurance agents can help producers analyze the various scenarios with the TA-APH endorsement, and to look at the best crop insurance strategies for 2013.

Ag’s appetite for mobile information grows Agriculture is no ordinary business. People in other industries may spend their days in front of a computer, but not the folks who make their living from the soil. That’s what makes the latest innovations in mobile technology particularly suited to this traditional profession. Studies show that ag professionals in general have a stronger-than-average appetite for mobile devices. In a recent Successful Farming survey, 94 percent of respondents said they had a cellphone — 11 percent more than the general public. In keeping with the trend, ag companies are upping their mobile offerings to provide more resources. Syngenta recently relaunched the mobile version of its FarmAssist — www.farmassist.com —website to provide a better user experience that allows visitors to navigate through information more easily.

These premium adjustments are based on updated RMA crop insurance actuarial data for several years. The crop insurance premium adjustments for 2013 will also apply to cotton, rice, and grain sorghum in other areas of the United States. The reason for the premium adjustments is that the total crop insurance loss ratio in the United States from 1995-2011 averaged 0.84, meaning that 84 cents was paid out in crop insurance losses for every dollar paid in to the crop insurance program from producer premiums and Federal subsidies. The crop insurance premium adjustments for 2013 will be on a state-by-state basis. States with crop insurance loss ratios lower than the U.S. average loss ratio will receive larger crop insurance premium reductions for 2013, while states with higher loss ratios will see premium increases in 2013. Crop insurance premiums for 2013 on comparable insurance coverage for corn are expected to drop by an average of 3 percent in Minnesota and 6 percent in Iowa, while increasing by 15 percent in South Dakota and 11 percent in North Dakota.

Using new ag tech to reduce nutrient use, loss By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Most farmers listen rather intently when Jeff Littrell speaks. They may not agree with him, but he does get a hold their attention. Why? Because he’s very opinionated on nutrient placement and nutrient quantities when it comes Jeff Littrell to modern crop production. Littrell is vice president of FHR Farms at Stewartville, Minn. FHR specializes in biological crop production and also is a nutrient management firm. He says epoxy issues in the Mississippi River delta will be forcing Upper Midwest farmers into nutrient placement rules and regulations. “Whether it’s by mandate or some other form of government regulation, farmers will have to use technologies that simply reduce nutrient loss into our rivers and drainage systems,” Littrell said. His point is that these mandates potentially are good

We’ve stepped back in our own operation and now use more pre-emergence products plus a closer look at chemistry for the post-applied products.” Might there be hybrid differences in regards to nutrient placement? Littrell said there are some hybrids that “respond more” to precision placement. In their non-GMO production, FHR farms pays particular attention to the “water holding” capacities of certain fields in regards to which nonGMO hybrids get used. He noted Brazilian data which shows the RR trait takes 2.2 percent more moisture to grow the same crop. “As we look at these drier trends in Midwest agriculture we see some things in regards to trait patterns that raise some questions,” said Littrell.

results. But we’ve run tests on beet lime (Columbia Testing Labs, Washington State) and their data shows that for every ton of beet lime you spread on fields you’re getting almost a quart of Roundup. “So my concern is that we already have used enough Roundup in our soils so let’s be cautious. If you have non-GMO beets being used by a beet plant, their limestone product would be a good thing.” Littrell doesn’t bash companies that produce and market Roundup products, but he does suggest that if the product were used only on one crop we wouldn’t be seeing the “resistance breaks” that are now widespread across the Midwest. That same logic persists with other additives which is why insect problems, disease problems and other resistance issues keep surfacing. “We use gramoxone for burndown but if we stay with it for 15-20 years I suspect we’ll have some problems. It’s a matter of doing your due diligence on all your crop inputs,” he said. “You need to study and understand the

Fly ash has quantities of heavy metals which concerns environmentalists. Bed ash doesn’t have the heavy metals which his firm has tested for the last 20 years through the Midwest labs. Littrell indicated there are now various sources of gypsum with most firms also doing field spreading. It’s marketed as both a soil amendment and a nutrient aid. Once your soils have received 5-6 years of applications, continued annual applications are likely not required. How about spent limestone from sugar beet plants? Littrell admits to some conflict on this issue since the advent of Roundup Ready (glyphosate) was cleared for weed control on sugar beets. “I personally don’t like to advocate ‘beet lime’ as a soil amendment, perhaps biased because we are nonGMO growers.

THE LAND, JANUARY 4, 2013

Everybody’s Market Cooperative, Long Prairie, Minn.

Kingdom, back in 1844. At that time the Rochdale Society of Equitable Pioneers had a vision. They envisioned a cooperative organization. Their organization would serve the membership and the membership would own the organization and receive its profit. Membership would be open, voluntary, and democratic. These new organizations would serve members economically and educationally. The Rochdale Pioneers laid out these ideas and lived by them. Their cooperatives were successful and their principles became the guiding principles for the international cooperative movement for generations. Minnesota has always had a strong cooperative movement. In the 1860s and 1870s farmers, tired of poor treatment from private storeowners, formed their own cooperative stores across Minnesota’s farm country. A hundred years later, rural and urban Minnesotans, who were looking for an alternative to increasingly processed food turned again to the cooperative model founded by those British pioneers. “Next year will be our 35th year,” said Kay Bradlich, of Everybody’s Market Cooperative in Long Prairie. “I don’t know if we were the first but we were one of the first cooperatives to start back then. A lot of us started in the 1970s.” In the 1970s young people were looking for simple foods such as whole-wheat flower, oatmeal, and dried fruits in bulk produced without chemicals. Those people also found the idealism of the Rochdale Pioneers and the Minnesota immigrant farmers appealing. Today, many of the products that were sold by the cooperatives in the 1970s are now labeled organic and have become part of the huge organic industry. “We were out in front on that,” Bradlich said. “We were also way ahead on the local foods movement. Co-ops have always supported buying from local farmers and craftsman.” The cooperative movement comes, goes, and comes back again. Many of those 1970s co-ops are gone but others, like those in Windom, Ortonville, Blue Earth, Hackensack and Ely have prospered. Organic bulk foods are still central to the business of those co-ops. But so are other things like canned and frozen organic foods, vitamin supplements, locally produced maple syrup, gluten-free flour, and drinks made without high fructose corn syrup, according to Bradlich. But continued membership involvement in a cooperative is as important as the products it sells, she said. ❖
