Letter: Whose ‘truth’ are we to believe? To the Editor: In the Feb. 1 “Land Minds” by Assistant Editor Tom Royer, he tells us that the consumer is ready for the truth about agriculture, that they can handle the truth. I agree that the consumer needs to know the truth where his or her food comes from and how it was raised, produced and that we need to get the truth out. The problem is what is the truth? Which and whose truth are we to get out to the public? Monsanto and big ag have a much different truth than those of the organic industry. Then there are the truths being told by environmental groups, animal welfare groups and all kinds of assorted groups. What is the truth? Who are we to believe? If The Land were to discover that Monsanto’s genetically modified plants and organisms were environmentally and economically sound, meaning that they would build soil, clean the air while creating a fiscally sound environment in which the rural communities would thrive and grow, I doubt if I would believe The Land knew the truth about which it speaks. A look at the history of the last 30 years would tell you a different truth there. And if The Land were to write that all would be well in the world if everybody farmed organically, I would imagine that there would be many that would not believe that to be true, not to mention that The Land would probably go broke as more than one advertiser would quit advertising. People who want that truth are already finding it in multiple organic news sources that are already in print. So what is the truth and how are we to know that it is true once we find it? One more thing: Royer also seems to be a little deaf when is comes to the truth about what it takes to make a successful marriage, and maybe just what a See TRUTH, pg. 5A

TRUTH, from pg. 4A marriage is in the first place. Yes, trust is important in any relationship, but some things are best left unsaid. If my wife knew all the nasty truths hidden deep within, she might not be so willing to hang around. The saying that “the truth will set you free” might have a whole different meaning and I would not be happy with such freedom. I am quite happy with my sweetheart even if I don’t know all the truths about her. I love her dearly but just loving another person and sharing bodily fluids with that person from time to time does not and will not make it a marriage. A true marriage, a happy fulfilling marriage, is much more than that and that should be obvious to anyone who searches for the

truth about marriage. But it seems like the full truth about so many other things along with marriage and farming seems to have been forgotten. We as a society seem to have forgotten the obvious. Maybe that is where The Land needs to start in its search for the truth. It and its readers have to start looking for and reporting the obvious. Where will The Land start? Where will it find the truths that it and its readers are searching for or, better yet, need to know to build a sustainable and nurturing long-lasting society? A society that builds and grows opportunities for the future serving the happiness and well-being of all. Martin Primus Sauk Centre, Minn.

To the Editor: “We have met the enemy ... and he is us.” ~ From Pogo, through the creativity of Walt Kelly, Earth Day 1970 In his Jan. 18 letter to the editor,“Election didn’t destroy America, but door was opened” the letter writer eloquently and precisely articulated the problems of America. The catch is that he is an integral part of the problem in his unwillingness to respect others as he seeks to impose his beliefs. I had initially intended to discount the letter, but cannot ignore its deceptions. It is hard to know where to start. It appears that the writer believes that all that has been wrong in this nation came to fruition in the last election. The changes that have transpired are not necessarily because we were old fashioned, but because society evolved, often for the better. In any case, the United States is a country where disagreements are vast, but with an eye on mutual rights, we must respect others for — and in spite of — their differences. If looked at through the prism of nostalgia, there is much about the “good old days” that was good. However, the reality is that there was much about them that was not. • The Ten Commandments are the guidelines of our lives. However, as Christians, we learn of the fulfillment of the law, and that we are called upon not to judge others so that we are not judged. • Racism has not always meant merely discrimination and disrespect, but neighbors in hoods who

When you’re a kid and you live 10 miles from one town and a little further from the next one, you don’t just go to town for any piddly reason. Especially if your dad was like my dad. So you stayed home. A lot. It was special when you got to see people who came to the farm. Jim Tisch drove a rural grocery truck. He brought a little bit of food and civilization right to the end of our house yard sidewalk. When Bob Bullington would come to fill the farm fuel barrel, he always had caramel suckers for each of us kids. It was probably his way of attaining young company, but we were too happy to have the suckers to figure that out then. The coming of our mailman — Don Nitzschke — was always exciting during the summer months when we were young and out of school, because he came by everyday. Every now and then we would skip down the lane to wait for him, and he usually had some candy or gum for us, followed by a brief exchange of lively conversation. I’m reminded of the anthrax scare a few years ago, and how weird I thought it was that people would use any means to hurt other people. But a mailbox? It hardly seemed possible. I remember driving to work in the days following when the government mandated that all rural mailboxes were to be left hanging open until the mail carrier arrived. It was a reminder that we’re all vulnerable at the hands of those who don’t care about life the way most people do. While it can be exciting to go to the mailbox to retrieve a check or a long-awaited note, it can also be a scary place to go when times on the farm are not that good. As young farmers, we had hogs in 1998 — probably more hogs than we’d ever had here — when the bottom fell out of the market. Going to the mailbox was like walking the plank in those days.

TABLE TALK, from pg. 6A seemed larger than life. Happy things seemed only “so” happy. Letters that had our bank’s return address were the scariest to open. As we look to the world of the future and think that the postal service could be a thing of the past, it makes me a little nostalgic. Will there be children someday who grow up never knowing the thrill of receiving something wonderful in the mail? A friend of mine said there is nothing she enjoys more than a hand-written card or thank-you note sent to her in the mail. And how many times do you drive past a farm and read the name on the mailbox to see who lives there? The rural mailbox is another connection to the outside world. The Statue of Liberty stands in the New York Harbor with her torch, welcoming those who pass by. The rural mailbox takes its place quietly along the road, its side flag as its humble greeting to those passing by, and its contents as its daily contribution to society. They’re proof that rural people really do exist. They stand as a testament to the lives we choose to live out here, especially in the winter when snow drifts block gravel roads until a tractor and snow blower can clear a path to the main road; and in the spring when muddy roads create quagmires to navigate. Thank goodness for rural mail carriers, who also have to navigate those same roads to get our mail to us each day. We should appreciate them a lot more than we do.

Cover story

Volstead House honors legislator’s co-op legacy By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent Eighty years ago — in 1933 — prohibition was repealed. Thirteen years of trying to ban the manufacture and sale of alcohol led to little success other Sue Van Hoof Barb Benson than strengthening organized crime, so prohibition was repealed. The Volstead Act, which led to prohibition, was authored by U.S. Representative Andrew J. Volstead of Granite Falls, Minn., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. It is the piece of legislation by which many remember his name, but it wasn’t his proudest achievement. What Volstead considered his most important piece of legislation was the Cooperative Marketing Association Act of 1922, commonly called the Capper-Volstead Act. It opened the way for farm cooperatives to be established. It is because of that, and not prohibition, that the Granite Falls home of Vol-

stead is a museum and a National Historic Landmark. Public service, private life Volstead was a young lawyer when he moved to Granite Falls in 1886 and had a life in public service, at times serving as county attorney, city attorney, school board president and mayor. From 1903 to 1923 he was in the U.S. House of Representatives. While working in the Yellow Medicine County courthouse in Granite Falls, he met a girl from Scotland, Nellie Gilsruth. “The people didn’t know there was a romance going on,” said Sue Van Hoof of the Granite Falls Historical Society. “One day, in the middle of the afternoon, they were married at the courthouse. It surprised everybody working there.” That fits with the impression that GFHS member Barb Benson has gotten of Volstead See VOLSTEAD, pg. 9A

Volstead not well-liked during prohibition period in obscurity despite the fact that in 1976 it was designated a National Historic Landmark. Part of the reason was that the two rooms devoted to Volstead were “a maze of posterboard,” Van Hoof said, which told the story of Volstead but was not attracting viewers. Another part of the reason was accessibility. The rest of the house was to be rented out as a source of

income to maintain it. A parade of organizations rented office space there. When visitors stopped to see the house, they were able to get in only if someone happened to be in an office. In time, there were no offices and the building sat empty for quite a few years. Around the turn of the century the Granite Falls See VOLSTEAD, pg. 10A

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

VOLSTEAD, from pg. 8A from her research. “He was in public service, but was a private person,” Benson said. “(If there were) articles about him for which they wanted to interview him, he would quickly slip away.” Some of that may have been due to the fact that while prohibition was in force, Volstead was not wellliked, except by the temperance people. “There were threats on his life,” Benson said. But it was the bad farm economy that finally led to his defeat after 20 years in Congress. The Volsteads had one daughter, Laura, and they purchased the house at 163 Ninth Avenue in Granite Falls in 1894 and lived there until 1930. Over time Volstead added a tower to the front of the house, and a two-story screened porch. Just after Laura had graduated from law school, her mother died. She came home to act as hostess for her father, but eventually married a reindeer farmer and lived in Alaska and Washington state. Laura built a house in back of the home for the Whitney family so they could keep an eye on her aging father. In 1930 Volstead went to live with the Whitneys, and the house was rented out. The upstairs was remodeled into apartments. Volstead died in 1947. When the house was sold in 1958 to the Connor family, Laura kept an apartment on the second floor as a place to stay when she returned to Granite Falls each summer to check on farmland and other investments. Stern in appearance, Volstead had a compassionate side, Benson and Van Hoof said, based on stories they have learned. He rented the first floor of his house to a watchmaker whose large family was living in an apartment following a house fire. During the 1930s the well on his property was one of the few that hadn’t gone dry, and he welcomed people to use it as long as they didn’t waste water. While not a teetotaler himself, he was bothered seeing Granite Falls men spending their wages in bars while their families suffered with want. That (along with a wife and daughter in the temperance movement) spurred him to sponsor the National Prohibition Act in hopes that it would cure some of society’s ills. It didn’t. But the real legacy of his time in Congress was the Cooperative Marketing Associations Act passed in 1922, co-sponsored with Sen. Arthur Capper of Kansas, giving producers of agricultural products exemptions from antitrust laws so they could form cooperative associations. Preserving a legacy By the 1970s the Minnesota Association of Cooperatives was interested in preserving the history of the man who made their existence possible. “The co-ops purchased the Volstead house from the Connors and turned it over to the city of Granite Falls for a dollar, with the stipulation that the house always maintain one or two rooms telling the history of Mr. Volstead,” Van Hoof said. The city fulfilled its obligation, setting up displays of pictures and text to tell the story of Volstead and the cooperative movement, but the house languished

The EDA director, who happened to be Van Hoof’s husband, realized how valuable the 135year-old building was. “In 2003 he gathered some historical-minded people and they decided to start the Granite Falls Historical Society,” Van Hoof said. “The society kind of just moved in.” They found little of the original furnishings. The woodwork and some light fixtures are original, and a music cabinet may be. Some of Laura’s personal items remained in the room she had kept upstairs.

Upstairs is a bedroom that has some of Laura’s possessions, and another room that is used as a Granite Falls museum. The city of Granite Falls owns and maintains the physical structure, but with the city recovering from a tornado and floods in these lean budget times, the GFHS seeks grants and attempts to help in other ways. A grant they obtained brought an engineer architect team that found need for major work on the foundation. Exterior painting and windows also need attention. The house is staffed by volunteers, so it is helpful to schedule tours, but phone numbers are posted at the house so if people stop, they can call and a volunteer will come. “Ninety percent of the time when someone calls, we can respond,” Van Hoof said. Without the work of the GFHS, the home of Andrew Volstead, the congressman who played an important role in creating the cooperatives that have been essential in the success of Minnesota agriculture, would still be an unknown place. The Society has made huge steps in restoring this National Historic Landmark. It will never be exactly as it was when Volstead lived there, but as Van Hoof pointed out, that’s not the goal. “As you tour the house, you’ll notice that it’s not the house that’s so important. It’s the man who lived here.” Check the Volstead House Museum’s page at http://gfhistoricalsociety.weebly.com for events and phone numbers, or call Van Hoof at (320) 564-5600 or Benson at (320) 564-3743 to schedule tours. ❖

The dining room has a built-in hutch that contains some of Volstead’s law books. There is a small room they think may have been a morning coffee room.

U.S. ag leaders travel to Taiwan to educate, promote By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Educating foreign buyers on the value of Minnesota products is always a key objective whether they visit here, or our producers travel overseas. Such was the experience of Bob Worth, spokesman for Minnesota Soybean Growers Association, just returned from Taiwan. He and Tom Haag, president of the Minnesota Corn Growers, visited the Asian nation in late January, accompanied by Minnesota Department of Agriculture Commissioner Dave Frederickson. This delegation also included Su Ye, a native of Taiwan and 20-year employee in the MDA.

“Our mission was to get the Taiwan people to come to Minnesota this year to sign an agreement to purchase Minnesota corn and soybeans,” Worth said. “We can’t always prove that our products are better; in fact sometimes Minnesota soybeans have been discredited as of lesser quality because of protein issues.” So did Worth change any minds on their trip? “There’s lots of misconception about the quality of Minnesota soybeans,” he said. “Foreign buyers are always worried about protein and oil. But we’re teaching them about amino acids which, after all, are the building blocks of protein.

“The amino acid profile of Minnesota soybeans is superior. They didn’t know that so we taught them. They really were uninformed so we pitched our story. I presented some information pamphlets from the Minnesota (Soybean) Research & Promotion Council which tells a great story about the nutrition benefits of our beans. They were excited to learn about this new dimension of soybean quality.” Evident to Worth was the expanding income of the people of Taiwan, a progressive country sitting only about 120 miles off the coast of China. With 25 million people in a space half the size of Minnesota, this ruggedly beautiful island nation is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. “Though seafood and eggs are standard in their foods, they’re getting a growing taste for meat, especially poultry and pork,” Worth said. “They’re big on fast foods, rice and meat packets. You throw it into the microwave, zap it, and it’s ready to eat. “The Taiwanese people are hard working. They want a fast meal then back to work. Their country is so crowded and so mountainous there’s not room for pastures and cattle. They

grow a lot of their own poultry but they’ve become big importers of pork, mostly U.S. pork which is often the ‘specialty parts’ that we Americans don’t want.” He said they have a mostly favorable image of the United States and would like to buy more U.S. products, even soybeans and soybean products. But money talks, as they say, so Argentina and Brazil are doing better in Taiwan. Worth said they had contact with the high ranking officials of their Department of Agriculture and their import traders. They also met with the commodity heads of the Feed Grains Council, the Meal Association, the oil people and other agriculture and food leaders. Perhaps most distressing to Worth was the false information he encountered about U.S. products. He wondered if South American officials might be the culprit simply to protect and expand their own exports to Taiwan. For example, they questioned the quality of U.S. crops because of the widespread drought across America. “I told them they were wrong; that our 2012 crop was the best quality crop in our farming lives,” Worth said. “In See EXPORTS, pg. 17A

Frederickson on Taiwan: ‘Amazing’ wan. Tracks for this super train will soon reach from tip to tip. It’s elevated on giant concrete pillars. Their freeway and highway systems seem totally interconnected. We think ours is complicated. Theirs is incredible.” Frederickson and his trio had five fast and furious days in Taiwan, including an opening showcase in a special pavilion featuring the best of Taiwan products. They also viewed the Palace Museum which displays the hundreds of artifacts from the “Forbidden City” in the Chiang Kai-shek era when this historic ruler left mainland China and came to Taiwan. “We were told 60,000 pieces of carved ivory came with the ruler. It was an incredible history lesson, and people flock to this museum. It apparently is on the ‘must-see’ list of everyone visiting Taiwan,” Frederickson said. The majority of their trip, however, consisted of day-long sessions with various industry and food manufacturing people, including several who are employed by major U.S. food companies and feed manufacturers but with marketing functions in Taiwan. See TAIWAN, pg. 19A

EXPORTS, from pg. 16A our soybeans both our protein and oils were better than ever before. So we had to do some talking, just like we have to do back home to our American consumers.” As you might expect, these foreign officials want to talk directly with American farmers. “They want to see us as producers,” he said. “And they do want to come to America, to Minnesota to visit us on our farms. The average farm size is only three acres in Taiwan; the average age of their farmers is 65. So they’re very concerned about their path in the future. No young people want to farm. So they talk getting five or six farmers together and then they might have 18 acres. So they can’t even visualize when I tell them we have lots of Minnesota farmers doing 1,500 acres, 2,000 acres and such. “They’re coming to Minnesota this fall. And I hope they get in my combine and ride with me when we’re taking out our soybean crop.” ❖

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Minnesota Department of Agriculture Commissioner Dave Frederickson returned from an ag “mission trip” to Taiwan with glowing words. “It’s a beautiful country,” he said. “Lots of people — 25 million, which is five times Minnesota’s population and only half the size of our state. It measures 350 miles from north tip to south tip, 100 or so miles wide. And half the country is mountains and mountain ranges. “What struck me is their amazing economy. They are masters of electronic goods. They are market driven. They market worldwide; and as their economy flourishes they want to buy more American products and our agricultural goods, too. But money talks. And right now the U.S. is not the ‘low-cost’ provider. Argentina and Brazil are on the inside track for now. “I’m just amazed by their infrastructure.

Talks centered on quality of Minnesota soybeans, corn duced a quality crop last year, perhaps some of the best in the country. So we’re encouraging them to come to Minnesota this season and hopefully announce the purchase of a major quantity of Minnesota corn and Minnesota soybeans. “Bob (Worth, spokesman for Minnesota Soybean Growers Association) made a clear case to the Taiwan officials that sometimes the protein levels of Minnesota soybeans are less; this year both protein content and yields were exceptional. And when they started listening to Bob talking about the superior amino acid content of Minnesota soybeans you could visibly see their renewed interest. (Minnesota Corn Growers Association president) Tom Haag did a similar job of making it clear that by coming to Minnesota these Taiwanese officials would see face-to-face the quality of Minnesota corn producers and the quality of the crop we produce.” How important was it for Frederickson to have two Minnesota producers,

Why Taiwan is important for Minnesota agricultural exporters • Sixth largest market for U.S. agricultural exports • On a per-capita basis, it is the largest consumer of U.S. food products • In 2011, U.S. agricultural exports to Taiwan reached a record-high $36 billion • Corn is Taiwan’s No. 1 agricultural importer from the United States with a 2011 trade value of $805 million followed by soybeans and wheat with trade values of $714 million and $399 million respectively. both also involved in their commodity group, pitching Minnesota agriculture? “Frankly that was key to the entire mission,” he said. “These two guys can tell the story of American agriculture the very best. They live it, they breathe it, and their pride and passion was so very evident. What better voice to represent Minnesota agri-

He also happens to own a home in New Jersey and his kids go to University of California, Davis. These are top drawer, very successful business people. “They buy a huge amount of U.S. corn, soybean and other agricultural products. Our mission was to talk about the quality of Minnesota goods, particularly the strong corn and soybean crops produced this past year. Yes, there was some misunderstanding. They were much aware of the drought across America and thought this must have impacted Minnesota agriculture as well. “Every two years they do a buying mission to the U.S. They are buying from the U.S. grain bin, not necessarily the Minnesota bin, but we know some of our Minnesota products are in that bigger bin.

Farm show rooted in central Minnesota

After 46 years the Central Minnesota Farm Show, organized by the St. Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce, is still delivering the goods. The formula is simple: Assemble hundreds of vendors from every corner of the agriculture industry and let both the farming and nonfarming communities know about it. The combination results in an average of more than 4,000 visitors for the three-day event. This year’s farm show is scheduled for Feb. 26-28 at the River’s Edge Convention Center in St. Cloud. Admission to the event is free. The show is coordinated and arranged by the St. Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce Farm Show Committee. Greg Theis, of Greg E. Theis Remodeling, is the chairman for the 2013 show, and says the event offers something for anyone with

an interest in the agriculture industry. “Visitors can look for special product offers, entertainment and educational opportunities from a variety of professional vendors,” Theis said. Agricultural meeting grounds Since opening its doors four decades ago, the farm show has been a popular community event for central Minnesota. Serving over a 100-mile radius, the show gives area farmers an opportunity to check out the season’s newest products, as well as socialize with other members of the agriculture industry. It also allows vendors a rare chance to meet their customers in person. Chad Carlson, of Carlson Wholesale in St. Cloud, said the farm show is their main pipeline to the customer. “Most visitors just come to see what’s new,” he said. Cus-

Prices vary in other locations.

tomers visit Carlson’s four-booth display to chat with the sales team,

pick up new catalogs and comparison shop. Carlson points out that the farm show kicks off the start of the prime time agribusiness season. Farmers browse now and buy later. Come early spring sales start to take off and continue non-stop into fall. Necessary components Much like the machines on display, the agriculture industry depends on a complex network of parts to keep it running smoothly. With so many industry representatives on hand at one time, the farm show clearly illustrates the many components successfully at work. Once again all the pieces are in place for a 2013 show that promises to bring the same level of quality vendors, customers and information that make the farm show a central Minnesota tradition. ❖

Grain Angles Commodities dissapoint, so far

The following market analysis is for the week ending Feb. 8. CORN — Corn sliced through first support levels in the low-$7.20s and even second-tier support at $7.12 per bushel this week, extending the losing streak to five straight sessions. While some rain developed in Argentina, it was not enough to say all worries have evaporated, but weak demand and technicals led the charge lower. In general, the South American weather pattern remains the same: rain forecasted seven days out, we get to that time frame and the moisture has again been pushed back NYSTROM another five to seven days. It’s PHYLLIS CHS Hedging Inc. the carrot and horse thing. St. Paul Conab, the Brazilian National Food Supply Co., raised their corn production estimate from 72.7 million metric tons to 76 mmt and versus the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s updated projection of 72.50 mmt. They are counting heavily on a high yield for the second crop corn or safrinha. Brazil’s corn exports for this year are now forecasted to surpass U.S. corn exports for the first time in history. The Feb. 8 USDA monthly crop production report didn’t hold any big surprises in the corn with Feed, Seed & Industrial increased 20 million bushels and exports cut 50 million for a net 30 million increase in ending stocks from 602 million to 632 million bushels. This was higher than the 615 million pre-report estimate. Argentina’s corn crop was pegged at 27 mmt versus 26.6 mmt estimate and 28 mmt last month. Brazil’s number was 72.5 mmt, higher than the 71.1 mmt estimate and 71.0 mmt last month. World ending

The fight is on in the fundamentals in the livestock markets. It is supply versus demand and it appears that the lack of demand is overwhelming the tight supply situation. This situation is affecting both the cattle and hog markets as we moved into the new year. The cattle market has been erratic as of late with prices advancing in the live trade, while the boxed beef cutout has been on a rapid slide to levels not seen in months. Despite the fact that the beef cutout has dropped to much lower levels, there has been little increase in the volume of boxed beef trade. This indicates a real drop in domestic beef consumption, JOE TEALE which more than likely is coming Broker from the high price of beef retail Great Plains Commodity and the lower disposable income Afton, Minn. because of the many tax increases. It is certain that the cattle herd is still retracting and that available supplies are decreasing as the months go by. However, with cattle weights at the highest levels in history, the beef production has not decreased as much as it normally would. This has kept enough supply of beef to meet, and apparently exceed, the current demand. It is likely that this struggle between supply versus demand in the beef trade will continue for the months ahead. This will keep the cattle market uneasy and erratic at times. Producers should keep aware of market conditions and protect inventories when presented opportunities exist. The hog market seems to be on a similar path as the cattle, with a few differences. The supply of hogs is much greater than that of the cattle market, and the pork cutout is far less than that of the beef. This presents a different scenario for the hog market in that the demand for pork has been fairly stable. This

February is important to the profitability of grain producers. The average closing prices for the November soybean and December corn futures contacts for February usually set the spring price for crop revenue insurance. Grain producers like to see nice, strong markets to assure a higher level of revenue coverage on the crops that will be planted this spring. Since peaking out in early September of 2012, grain prices have been in a steady downward trend. The news of the drought factored into the prices by that time. In addition, some large investors, such as California Public Employees’ Retirement System, TOM NEHER announced their intention to AgStar VP & Team Leader reduce their allocation toward — Grain Industry commodity markets, causing the Rochester, Minn. investors’ net long positions to fall dramatically at the end of 2012. Despite agricultural commodities regaining traction in January 2013, it has been overall disappointing considering U.S. stocks and energy prices gained 12.5 percent and 12 percent respectively since posting their November lows. In contrast, over the same period, agriculture rose by just 2 percent. This lag causes concern for the performance for the balance of 2013. The soybean market has been the driver in the grain sector during the last month and supported the corn and wheat markets, while the corn markets have struggled. Even after a January rebound, corn is some 6 percent below its November high. The most recent weekly corn export report showed sales were below expectations, pushing the old crop commitment 52 percent below last year compared to the USDA’s forecast of 38 percent below. This year’s commitment is the lowest since the USDA began

Old-new crop spread an indicator of concern NYSTROM, from pg. 25A stocks were bigger at 118 mmt, up 2 mmt from last month and 2.3 mmt larger than anticipated by the trade, due mainly to larger production in Mexico and South America. China’s corn imports were raised 0.5 mmt to 2.5 mmt. The USDA did lower the on-farm national average price range from $6.80 to $8 to $6.75 to $7.65 per bushel. Crummy export sales have become the standard, and this week was no exception at 6.6 million bushels of old crop and net cancellations of 400,000 bushels in new crop. According to reports, U.S. corn exports for the September-to-February slot are on course to be the lowest since 1990. In only three weeks of this marketing year have exports hit the amount we need to average to reach the 900-million-bushel export projection. Total commitments are 52 percent behind last year; when using the refreshed USDA projection they forecast a decline of 42 percent. Weekly ethanol production dipped to 774,000 barrels per day or to 11.8 billion gallons annualized. This is another new record low. Inventories fell to 20.1 million barrels. Two ethanol plants in Nebraska that had been idled are scheduled to return to production in the next week, according to reports. Weekly ethanol production needs to average 802,000 barrels per day to use the 4.5 billion bushels that are slotted in for ethanol this year. Let us not forget that comments from outside the agricultural sector also influence price direction. The president of the European Central Bank cautioned that the euro’s strength could threaten their inflation outlook. The euro fell and the U.S. dollar rallied off the statement. Argentina announced a two-month price

freeze on all supermarket products in their effort to control inflation. A short-term effect could possibly be shortages as people stockpile. A new crop history update: December corn has traded higher than its January high in 19 out of the last 20 years. December’s high in January this year was $5.95 per bushel. The high so far this month is $5.96 1/2 per bushel, so history has already been proven correct. OUTLOOK: March corn was down 27 cents this week at $7.09 and the December contract tumbled 29 1/4 cents to $5.63 1/4 per bushel. The December corn traded to its lowest level since June 2012. The next support is the 200-day moving average at $7.04 per bushel. Slow exports, Brazil becoming the leading world corn exporter and lower ethanol production are all negatives, but spring weather will be a key market mover. The current drought map through April shows a persistent drought for South Dakota down to Texas, reaching into western Iowa and Missouri. This week’s price action and the USDA report suggest we could be rangebound until the next round of numbers from the USDA Outlook meeting Feb. 21-22. Support in the March contract will be near $7 and resistance at $7.23/$7.33 per bushel. Unless demand kicks up, the upside may be limited. SOYBEANS — Soybeans traded to their own tune this week, moving into a higher bracket to start the week, sideways into the Feb. 8 USDA report, and crashing lower post report. March beans came close to the first upside target at $15.01 1/4, but were only able to trade as high as $14.98 per bushel this week. For the week, March beans fell 21 3/4 cents to close at $14.52 1/2 per bushel and November plummeted 50 1/2 cents to $12.82 per bushel. Soaring old crop and new crop exports, in combination with South American weather forecasts, were the straws stirring the drink this week when beans rallied. Old crop export sales were double what the trade was expecting at 32.9 million bushels, while new crop sales were largely anticipated at 28.4 million bushels after nearly daily reports of sales to China last week. Conversely to corn, bean exports have surpassed the average we need each week to achieve the export target in all but three weeks of the marketing year. Soybean exports will have to slow to new five-year lows for the balance of the marketing year to stay under the

USDA forecast, after running close to five-year highs through January. We need to average only 5.4 million bushels per week to hit the 1.345 billion bushel forecast. Total commitments are steadily 27 percent ahead of last year when the USDA’s updated projection is calling for a 1.2 percent decline. We have already committed 93 percent of the total year’s projected exports. The monthly crop report lowered the U.S. carryout from 135 million bushels to 125 million and was 4 million less than expected. The only item on the balance sheet that was changed was an increase in crush of 10 million bushels. The ending stocks-to-use ratio of 4.1 percent is the lowest ever for a February report. The much anticipated South American numbers were flat with Brazil at 83.5 mmt (83.1 estimated, 82.5 last month) and Argentina right on the estimate at 53 mmt, down 1 mmt from last month. World ending stocks were slightly higher than expected at 60.1 mmt. China’s import line was unchanged. Conab also increased their Brazilian soybean production number from 82.7 mmt to 83.4 mmt. The BA Grain Exchange lowered their Argentine bean production estimate to 50 mmt. Exceptionally high export commitments from Brazil, combined with rain-delayed early harvest, have pushed the wait time for ships to load to nearly 40 days already. A total of 135 vessels were waiting to load beans, corn or animal feed at Brazil’s five ports as of Feb. 5. A year ago only 67 ships were waiting. Port workers are already threatening to strike later this month against a bill that would move some of the port management from the port authority to the central government (cost jobs?). OUTLOOK: Outstanding export sales and lingering weather concerns in South America have been more than enough to keep the soy complex well supported, but the USDA report took the wind out of the sails for bulls. The market reaction to the report was surprising, but March beans held their recent range from $14.44 to $15.01 per bushel. The cushion of available supplies is not getting bigger and it looks like we still have a rationing job to do. The increase in the old crop-new crop spread is an indication of the concern of old crop availability. This material has been prepared by a sales or trading employee or agent of CHS Hedging Inc. and should be considered a solicitation. ❖

If ever a time for margin management, this is it NEHER, from pg. 25A reporting weekly exports in 1987. The high prices generated by the 2012 drought have clearly begun to ration the demand for corn. Looking forward to 2013, any negative weather event during the planting time in the United States may push corn near $8 per bushel. Yet, the absence of a significant weather event by summer may have the grain markets poised for renewed weakness after May-June. A new downtrend may unfold lasting into the 2014-15 crop year as farmers around the world commit to larger crops. As we work through our projections for the upcoming year, we may want to “shock test” our cost of production against $4 corn and $10 soybeans. If there ever was a time to take margin management seriously, this may be the year. Over the last

three years those who did little in the way of progressive marketing of their grain were rewarded with selling at higher prices than others. The “donothing” practice of grain marketing may be running on borrowed time. Granting that a significant weather event this spring or summer could support this practice again, we need to remember that “all good things come to an end.” The use of crop insurance, price protection strategies that allow one to participate in higher prices, and strong agronomy practices could give one an edge this year. I will always remember my Grandpa telling me, “Son, you need to be zigging while everyone else is zagging.” As I grow older, I have discovered that following the crowd and doing everything that the neighbors are doing is not always the best practice. ❖

Hog rally seems limited increase in taxes to domestic consumers, it is quite likely the demand for pork products may suffer despite the fact that it may be the better value. Unfortunately, until the economy improves, the chances of hogs making a substantial rally seem limited. Producers should take some caution and protect inventories and keep current on marketing inventories. ❖

TEALE, from pg. 25A is primarily due to the fact that, from a value standpoint, pork is a better value than most meats on a pound-for-pound comparison. The caveat here is that the number of hogs is adequate to meet the demand needs at the present time. The herd size in the hogs has not diminished as has the cattle herd, so the lack of supply has not been an immediate issue. However, with the

Many producers using enterprise units for premium savings PROGRAMS, from pg. 31A ers to insure crops separately in each township section, are now switching to enterprise units, due to large premium savings. Enterprise units will be available for YP, RP and RPE insurance policies in 2013. Following are some things to consider regarding enterprise units. • There are substantial premium savings by utilizing enterprise units rather than optional units. As much as 50 percent or more on insurance coverage levels of 80 percent or lower. • Producers need to be aware of the limitations of insurance coverage on individual farms with enterprise units. In 2012, some producers had crop losses on individual farms due to wind, hail, drought, flooding, etc., but were on enterprise units, and as a result did not reach the threshold for any insurance indemnity payments. This can be quite costly. • Enterprise units appear to work

quite well with RP policies to protect against price drops during the growing season, and when a producer has most of their land in the same general area, as well as when supplemental hail insurance is also part of the overall risk management plan. • Enterprise units do not work as well when a producer has a variety of land that is spread across a wide area in a county, or when producers have individual farms that are highly susceptible to natural disasters, such as flooding, drought, frost, etc. • Producers should contact their crop insurance agent to better understand insurance coverage with enterprise units. TA-APH yield option for 2013 For the 2013 crop year, producers purchasing Federal Crop Insurance for corn and soybeans will again have the option to use the Trend-Adjusted Actual Production History yield

endorsement on their crop insurance policies, rather than the stan-

A producer’s actual APH yields for each year 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 of production history. For example, if the yield adjustment factor for corn is 2.5 bu./acre, then 2.5 bu./acre is added for the most recent year (2012), 5.0 bu./acre is added for the preceding year (2011), and 7.5 bu./acre for the year before that (2010), etc. The TA-APH yield adjustment continues back as many years as necessary to arrive at 10 years of yield data on a farm unit. The TA-APH yield adjustment does have a maximum or “cap,” which is the highest reported yearly yield during the reporting period plus the yearly adjustment factor. For example, if the highest reported corn yield on a farm unit was 195 bu./acre, and the yield adjustment factor was 2.5 bu./acre, the maximum TAAPH adjusted yield would be 197.5 bu./acre. A producer must have at least one actual reported yield for a crop from a

dard APH. The TA-APH option was initiated by the USDA RMA for corn and soybeans in 2012, and will be available in 2013 on a county basis in parts of numerous states, including large portions of Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, North Dakota and South Dakota, and encompassing most major corn and soybean producing counties in the region. Wheat producers in most of west central and northwest Minnesota, northeast South Dakota, and most of North Dakota will also be eligible for the TA-APH endorsement for wheat in 2013. The TA-APH yield adjustment factors are made on a county basis, based on historical annual increases in countyaverage corn and soybean 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 to 2.5 bushels per acre for corn, and 0.35 to 0.50 bushels per acre for soybeans in 2012. Producers should check with their crop insurance agent for the TA-APH yield adjustment factors in their county for 2013. See PROGRAMS, pg. 33A

Contact agent before deadline TA-APH endorsement may allow producers to upgrade their insurance coverage for 2013 with only a minimal extra premium investment. The TA-AHP yield endorsement looks to be an attractive option for many producers on their 2013 crop insurance policies. The combination of the TA-APH endorsement, along with the reductions in crop insurance premiums at comparable coverage levels, will allow many producers to enhance their crop insurance revenue guarantees for corn and soybeans in 2013.

There must be a minimum of four reported annual yields in past 12 years for a crop insurance farm unit to be eligible for the full TA-APH yield adjustment; otherwise the yield adjustment factors will be reduced as follows. • 100 percent adjustment for four or more years of reported yields in the past 12 years. • 75 percent adjustment for three years of reported yields. • 50 percent adjustment for two years of reported yields. • 25 percent for one year with a reported yield.

Websites offer wealth of crop insurance information PROGRAMS, from pg. 33A coverage levels of corn and soybeans in the Midwest will be lower than comparable 2011 or 2012 premium levels, due to RMA premium adjustments that are based on updated crop insurance actuarial data for several years. This premium reduction will allow producers to enhance their crop insurance coverage for 2013. View crop insurance decisions from a risk management perspective. How much financial risk can you handle if there are greatly reduced crop yields due to potential drought and weather problems in 2013, and/or lower than expected crop prices? RP crop insurance policies serve as an excellent risk management tool for these situations. Take a good look at the TA-AYP endorsement for 2013.

Many producers will be able to significantly enhance their insurance protection by utilizing the TA-APH option, with only slightly higher premium costs. The TA-APH endorsement appears to be a good crop insurance strategy for corn, soybeans and wheat in selected areas. There are a wide variety of crop insurance policies and coverage levels available. Make sure you are comparing “apples to apples” when comparing crop insurance premium costs for various options or types of crop insurance policies, and recognize the limitations of the various crop insurance products. Take a good look at the 80 percent and 85 percent coverage levels, especially if you are using “enterprise units” with RP insurance policies. Additional protection can be added at these higher

coverage levels for a modest increase in premium costs. Many producers will be able to guarantee over $900/acre for corn and over $550/acre for soybeans at these higher coverage levels. Be cautious when considering “enterprise units,” GRIP or GRIP-HP policies for 2013. “Enterprise units” and GRIP policies become quite attractive due to significantly lower premium costs compared to “optional units” on RP policies. However, “enterprise units” and GRIP policies are based on larger coverage areas, and do not necessarily cover losses from isolated storms or crop damage that affect individual farm units. Where to get more information on 2013 crop insurance alternatives. A reputable crop insurance agent is the best source of information to find out more details of the various coverage plans, to learn more about the TA-APH endorsement, to get premium quotes, and to help finalize 2013 crop insurance decisions.

volumes to cheese plants remain strong, especially in the Midwest where milk output is up 4.8 percent from last December compared to a national increase of 1.7 percent. Eastern milk supplies are strong with cheese manufacturers working busier than anticipated, according to the DMN. Increased cheese inventories are affecting sales as buyers wait to find a market bottom. Lower prices have buyers looking to find cheese for aging programs, but slow to make commitments. Export buyers are in much the same position, although sales through the Cooperatives Working Together program remain active. Lee Mielke is a syndicated columnist who resides in Everson, Wash.

But first, let’s keep our priorities straight and talk ribs. In my opinion, ribs are some of the easiest foods to smoke and grill, yet most people don’t attempt them.

now. There are two true choices in pork ribs. Spare ribs These ribs tend to be meatier. They come from the belly portion of the pig, where the bacon comes from. They take a little longer to cook, and take a little more prep work. But, they are bigger, and in my opinion have the best flavor.

Baby back ribs These ribs come from the loin of the pig. They tend to be a bit more tender than the spare ribs, and a bit smaller, so they cook quicker.

Place lid on grill, all vents 50 percent open, and within 1 1/2 hours, you will have delicious smoked ribs. Serve with BBQ sauce on the side. Chocolate covered strawberries Gals make these for your significant other. Buy a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Take some strawberries, rinse them off and allow them to totally dry. This is very important, or the chocolate won’t adhere.

It’s kind of like the bonein pork chop without the loin. They also don’t need as much prep work as the spare ribs. Conclusion Both ribs are awesome. Buy what’s on sale. Both ribs have a membrane on the bone side. If you want to peel it off, start at one end, gripping the membrane with a piece of paper towel. If you don’t want to mess with taking off the membrane, no worries. Some folks take it off, some don’t. The theory is that the membrane blocks flavor (smoke and spices) from getting to the meat. Find your favorite pork rub, or better yet, make one of your own. Paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, go online and come up with a version that you can call your own. Rub the ribs liberally with your spice rub and cook using indirect heat. Sprinkle the coals with hickory chips once they are 75 percent ashen. Place the ribs on the side opposite the coals, preferably in a rib rack.

Set up a double boiler. This is a pot with water and a bowl setting on top of the pot but not quite touching the water. The point is to apply an even heat, which comes from the boiling water. Melt the chocolate chips while stirring. Add two teaspoons of vegetable oil and stir thoroughly. Dip the strawberries in the hot chocolate and set on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper. Refrigerate. You can start eating them within 15 minutes. BBQMyWay is written by Dave Lobeck, a barbecue chef from Sellersburg, Ind. Log on to his website at www.BBQMyWay.com.

Matters of the heart — dealing with hypertension in your pets blood pressure can also cause resinous problems such as blindness, seizures and depression. Other signs include fainting, anxiety and restlessness at night, and loss of balance. “Hypertension can result in blindness, fainting episodes, and can even contribute to kidney disease,” Saunders said. Blood pressure on a pet is usually taken by shaving

the underside of a paw and placing a cuff halfway down on the leg. Taking blood pressure on a pet is similar to that of a human, an ultrasound machine is used to listen to the pet’s blood flow while the cuff is inflated and then released. The animal’s blood pressure should be taken by a veterinarian. The main treatment for hypertension is medication. See HYPERTENSION, pg. 38A

One out of every three adults has high blood pressure or hypertension. As with humans, this health problem is seen in cats and dogs. Primary hypertension occurs when the blood pressure is higher than normal with no other cause. Secondary hypertension, however, occurs when the blood pressure is higher than normal as a result from a different disorder. Ordinarily, both a cat’s and dog’s blood pressure should be about 120/70, which is similar to the normal blood pressure of a human. Different from humans, however, animals usually experience secondary hypertension as a result from another disorder instead of primary hypertension, said Ashley Saunders, assistant professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary & Biomedical Sciences. “People get hypertension, so they can relate to it,” Saunders said. “The thing that is different between people and pets, though, is high blood pressure in pets is usually caused by something else.” High blood pressure can be a sign of kidney disease, diabetes, endocrine disease, cancer in the adrenal glands, and central nervous system and brain disease.

Walleyes ‘seriously out-of-whack’ on Lake Mille Lacs

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

Just why is open to speculation. Many point to spring gill-netting activities by Chippewa Band members that by nature and timing, target smaller male fish. Restrictive slots limits for sport anglers also put more pressure on smaller fish, which typically are males. Biologists speculate that perhaps the presence of too many large predatory fish, the result of overly protective slot limits, somehow may play a role in the population decline. It is unclear how existing forage bases and the presence of zebra mussels might factor into the precipitous drop. Fisheries’ biologists have been playing around with the walleye management formula on Minnesota’s most popular walleye lake for decades, but particularly since the late-1990s when walleye harvest quotas were established as part of lake management plans. While the precise cause of hard times for Mille Lacs’ walleyes might be unclear, a few things can be said with certainty. The state of walleyes right now is seriously out-ofwhack on Lake Mille Lacs. There will be no easy, painless solutions. Protected slot fish might be easy to come by this summer, but once again, it will be tough for a fisherman to catch a meal of walleyes. And it could be even tougher to be a resort owner on the troubled lake. John Cross is a Mankato (Minn.) Free Press staff writer.

he Promise of America, a monument along Highway 105 on the east edge of Lake Mills, Iowa, represents the thousands of Norwegian immigrants that came to the prairies of the Upper Midwest in the second half of the 19th century. “With strength and determination they founded a great agricultural community,” a plaque reads. “A perilous journey now behind them, this immigrant family of the 1860s stands together ready to begin a new life. With faith and family to sustain them through the hardships which lay ahead, they go forward to claim the promise of America.” The site represents the view that greeted early pioneers before the land was tilled for farming. In 1995 the Iowa Living Roadway Trust Fund provided native flowering plants and grass seeds, beginning the restoration of this prairie site from an agricultural area. These plantings provide a changing display of colors through spring, summer and fall. Some of the grasses and plants here include Canada wild rye, big bluestem, Indian grass, coreopsis, black-eyed Susan, Corey head coneflower, pale purple coneflower, compass plant and phlox. The statue was sculpted by Clifford J. Carlson. ❖

Turbulence that has shaken the dairy industry the past few years could subside in the second half of this year if feed prices fall or at least stabilize, a Purdue Extension dairy specialist said. Although the first part of 2013 likely will be stressful for producers, Mike Schutz said those who hold on should benefit from a relatively neutral economic outlook for the remainder of the year. “The dairy industry is highly dependent on what happens with feed prices,” he said. “We’re hopeful that feed prices will be reduced or stabilize with the planting of the 2013 crop, which will also hopefully help producers get back to approaching at least break-even or somewhat profitable prices.” The 2012 drought hit the dairy industry hard by decreasing availability of feed while also increasing feed prices. Most dairy producers grow their own forages, but with drought-induced short supplies, many had to buy expensive forage from other growers. Some producers are still short on forage supplies, so Schutz recommended that they keep a close eye on feed prices and check inventories frequently. Farmers with low inventories can consider planting an early spring forage crop, such as spring oats. Spring oats can be sown in early spring, giving farmers the opportunity to double-crop and produce more forage before next winter. Other options are sorghum-sudangrass, sudangrass or pearl millet, which can be sown in mid-May and ready for harvest by early July.Alfalfa can be sown by midApril and also would produce a first harvest in July, followed by subsequent harvests for many years. High prices and the lack of feed forced some producers to cull and sell cows. In October 2012, a total of 285,400 U.S. dairy cows were slaughtered under federal inspection — the highest monthly total since 1997, Schutz said. While cull rates have now slowed, the number of dairy producers in Indiana continues to decrease. “We lose about 5 percent of dairy farms per average year, but cow numbers remain remarkably stable and milk production continues to increase,” Schutz said. One of the challenges the industry faced in the last year was the dairy “fiscal cliff,” he said. The expiration of the 2008 farm bill in October and a lack of new federal farm policy heading into this year had many producers concerned that the industry would default to federal policy passed in 1949. The antiquated price structure would have caused milk See SCHUTZ, pg. 3B

Extension bought Congress time to write new farm policy dilemma for the dairy industry. The problem was averted with a oneyear extension of the farm bill, which bought time for Congress to write new farm policy. “Fortunately, lawmakers extended the farm bill, which means the MILC — milk income loss contract program — is also still in effect,” Schutz said. The MILC program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm

Service Agency, compensates dairy producers when domestic milk prices fall below a certain level. The monthly payments can help supplement producers’ incomes if they are losing money at current milk

prices. Dairy farmers should check with their local FSA offices for more details. This article was submitted by the Purdue University Agricultural Communications Department. ❖

SCHUTZ, from pg. 2B prices to increase to levels bottlers, processors and budget-strapped consumers couldn’t afford. “While double the price of milk sounds great right now to dairy producers, the consumers would not have been able to afford milk,” Schutz said. “Certainly the milk processors would have stopped buying as much milk, and it would have caused a great

Economist: Feed costs, weather to drive dairy profits For dairy farmers, feed costs will be the big driver on profits in 2013, says a University of Missouri dairy economist. Those feed costs will depend on planted corn acres and the weather, which affects yield per acre. Meeting with dairy farmers who have been through a tough year, Scott Brown said, “a big corn crop can make your bottom line look a lot better.” Better profits will depend more on cutting costs than on getting a lift from higher milk prices in 2013, he said. With weather uncertainty, Brown warned producers to prepare for volatility in the feed costs. “I can see a corn price with a $4 in front of it, but over $8 is possible with another dry year. With current tight corn stocks, any weather change will affect feed prices. “There are signs of hope. We will see some margin recovery in 2013, but

don’t look for anything like those record margins of 2008.” International markets will help domestic prices. “It is important to pay attention to production in Australia and New Zealand,” Brown said. “Profits depend on producing milk at lower costs than your neighbors. Now your neighbors are in Oceania and the rest of the exporting world. “We live in a world market. That will keep U.S. prices aligned with world prices.” A bright spot is that there are tighter milk supplies in the world market, Brown said. Milk supplies aren’t growing by leaps and bounds anywhere in the world. World trading depends a lot on the strength of the dollar and global economy. “Those are big wild cards,” Brown said. “The good news is that the United States has become a large net exporter.”

Turning to domestic milk, Brown said much depends on cow numbers. Producers have kept more cows than the economic conditions would indicate. This becomes tricky for producers, Brown said. “If you pay $7 for corn, do you keep milking or get out? If you look ahead and see a big corn crop coming, do you stay to see if feed costs drop?” When producers making milk with expensive feeds leave the business, their facilities are often bought by someone who continues to milk, Brown said. “That’s happening, so milk supply has not dropped as much as many expected.” Cow numbers did drop, with the help of the dairy buyout program. “We’re not getting rid of cows as fast as we thought,” Brown said. However, he doesn’t look for much increase in milk production in 2013. This winter, milk production per cow

If you tell me what the general economic recovery will be, then I can tell you about stronger prices. Cheese demand has grown. Fluid milk sees weaker prices. “We can’t sustain U.S. cheese prices above the world prices for very long. World demand drives us, long term.” Considering all, Brown projects an all-milk price in 2013 at $19.40 per hundredweight. That’s up from $18.63 in 2012. With low price gain, profits depend on keeping cost of production under control. That comes back to decisions down on the farm.
