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. 25 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

OPINION

Letter: Whose ‘truth’ are we supposed to believe?

GUEBERT, from pg. 4 self-replicating seed should get an exception under patent law, opens a huge Pandora’s Box of antitrust issues that few can foresee,” she said. Maybe, but the U.S. government, who the Supreme Court asked to weigh in with its own amicus, argues that Monsanto’s patents weren’t “exhausted” because Bowman “‘made’ new patented articles (the progeny seed) without [Monsanto’s] authorization.” Other Monsanto supporters include the American Soybean Association, the National Corn Growers, the National Association of Wheat Grow-

ers, the American Sugar Beet Growers and 15 state soybean associations. Their joint “friend” brief relies less on legal points and more on their belief that weeds are bad and Roundup weed killer is good. Legal handicappers, while not betting against Monsanto, suggest the company is in a tough fight with a decidedly free-market leaning Supreme Court. A final decision on the case is due about soybean planting time. Alan Guebert’s “Farm and Food File” is published weekly in more than 70 newspapers in North America.

‘A huge Pandora’s box’

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 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.

Immigrant heritage celebrated in Mountain Lake By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent The first Mennonites migrating from Russia arrived in the Mountain Lake, Minn., area in 1873. The migration began in earnest in 1874 and continued for a decade. With the centennial of that influx approaching in 1974, a Alvin Dick group of people thought something should be done to commemorate and preserve that large piece of Mountain Lake’s heritage. In 1973 they were able to purchase the Aron Buhler farmstead just south of Mountain Lake and established the Mountain Lake Heritage House. It was an idea that never stopped growing. The Buhler farmstead had a house and barn. Now, 40 years later, Heritage House has become Heritage Village with 24 buildings on 40 acres of land. One of the best times to visit the Village is during the annual Heritage Fair, called Utschtallung, which is celebrated the Saturday after Labor Day. There is free admission (a modest fee for tours is charged the rest of the year) for a day filled with ethnic foods, a bake sale, arts and crafts, exhibits and demonstrations, and entertainment, along with access to all of the buildings in the Village. Alvin Dick is president of a board of volunteers who keep the Village going. (Dick is a common surname around Mountain Lake. It appears again in

this story, but they aren’t necessarily related.) “The Mennonites around here are of Dutch/Prussian ancestry,” Dick said. He explained that during the Reformation and the persecution that followed, some Mennonites in Holland moved to Danzig, which was Prussia at the time but is now part of Poland. In 1763 they and many German-speaking people were lured by Catherine the Great, German wife of Peter III and Empress of Russia from 1762-96, to settle lands in southwest Russia. They were given special privileges, including exemption from military service. When privileges were repealed in 1871 and Russia wanted to draft their sons, many Mennonite Russians and German-Russians came to America. “I think (the Mennonites who came here) came from 60 different villages in Russia,” Dick said, “and a total of about 1,800 moved to this area.” The Mennonites were mainly farmers. While the various religions did not mix while in Russia, they knew of each other, and the German Lutheran Russians were known to be artisans and builders. “I think it was 1890 when one of the pastors of the Mennonite churches north of town invited some of the Lutherans to come and build their barns and houses and what have you,” Dick said. That brought a second migration, this one of German Lutheran Russians. In 1974 a monument remembering the Mennonite migration that started in 1874 was erected. Later a matching monument was built to remember the Lutheran migration from 1892-97. One of the most unique structures moved to the Village is a Mennonite homestead that is over 125 years old. It is a house-barn combination that was the residence of the Gerhard Dick family. It has been furnished with period antiques, and in the See HERITAGE, pg. 7

Grain was stored upstairs with living space on the ground floor. The rooms in the living space were split by a drive-through area where the horses and wagons entered and unloaded the grain, which a cupped elevator would take to the storage space above. It is where some homesteaders lived until they had enough money to build a separate house. The Village is also home to the Minnesota Telephone Museum, filled with collections of phones, switchboards, insulators, cables and other telephone equipment. Henry G. Kliewere, a telephone man, donated his collection to start the museum. The Buhler house now functions as the Welcome Center and Gift Shop.

It surprised everybody working there.” That fits with the impression that GFHS member Barb Benson has gotten of Volstead 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 well-liked, 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 Richard Siemers Avenue in Granite Falls in 1894 and lived there until 1930.

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 Volstead 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

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

But the real legacy of his time in Congress was the Cooperative Marketing Associations Act passed in 1922, cosponsored with Sen. Arthur Capper of Kansas, giving producers of agricultural products exemptions from antitrust laws so they could form cooperative associations. See VOLSTEAD, pg. 11

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.

nishings. 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. As part of their restoration, the GFHS has put up new curtains and acquired period furniture. “The co-ops really get the credit for saving the house,” Benson said. “Their main goal was to have an area where people can go and learn about the life and work of Volstead,” how the Capper-Volstead Act made it legal for farmers to join together in cooperatives to market their products. “Now the GFHS is working hard to maintain the house and tell the history,” Van Hoof said. Volunteer effort While it is a work in progress, a tour of the house gives a sense of Volstead’s home. The current conference room was originally two rooms — the kitchen and a small bedroom, probably a sleeping room for the maid. Off the kitchen is a pantry with three walls of built-in cabinets. 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. The small parlor was used as Volstead’s office when he returned from Washington. The larger parlor has a corner bay window. The stairs are in the tower that Volstead added to the house. Upstairs is a bedroom that has some of Laura’s possessions, and another room that is used as a Granite

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 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. ❖

VOLSTEAD, from pg. 10 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 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 Economic Development Agency moved its office into the house. The EDA director, who happened to be Van Hoof’s husband, realized how valuable the 135-year-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 fur-

TAIWAN, from pg. 12 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 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.” ❖

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. “Some of these people are regular business visitors to the U.S.,” Frederickson said. “We met with the guy who owns the largest crushing mill in Taiwan. 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. We assured them that Minnesota produced 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, 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 agriculture. Teaming up with the corn and soybean associations and our own Department of Agriculture was a match made in heaven.” Frederickson said that Minnesota Department of Agriculture economist Su Ye, a native of Beijing, was a tremendous asset on the trip, translating as they met with various Taiwanese officials. ❖

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

Prices vary in other locations.

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,” Carlson said. Customers 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. ❖

Livestock Angles Fundamentals fight is on

February important to profitability

The following market analysis is for the week ending Feb. 15. CORN — The week in corn was one for the history books as corn completed a losing streak of 10 consecutive days. This tied with June 2007 as the longest losing run since July 1965. The streak began Feb. 1 when March corn topped out at $7.46 1/4 and ended with the low on Valentine’s Day of $6.90 per bushel for a 7.5 percent decline in value (56 1/4 cents). Crummy demand, some rain in Argentina, Barclay’s announcement they would be getting out of agricul- PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. tural contracts and a rising U.S. St. Paul dollar all contributed to the miserable performance in the ag sector. Rain was seen in Argentina during the week, but hotter temperatures are offsetting some of the benefits of rain. One upbeat side to the corn market was the improving basis levels. Producers slammed the doors shut on any pricing, prompting end-users to pump up basis numbers and the March-to-May corn spread to invert further. Confirmation that some ethanol plants are coming back into production was also a bright spot. Weekly ethanol production was up 15,000 barrels per day to 789,000 barrels per day, but 15 percent less than last year. Ethanol stocks were down to 819 million gallons versus 844 million in the previous week. Export sales for the week were an expected 8.9 million bushels, still well below the nearly 15 million bushels of exports we need to achieve the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 900 million export forecast. New crop sales were respectable at 2.7 million bushels. Reports that South Korea’s 108,000-metric-

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 reduce their allocation toward Leader — 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

THE LAND, FEBRUARY 22, 2013

Tough job for market to assure we’ll have beans NYSTROM, from pg. 19 ton corn purchase this week will likely come from Argentina, and Israel’s 100,000 mt will be sourced from the Black Sea, continue to be a drag on the corn market. The domestic corn market was firmer throughout the week with basis improving out into the spring/early summer months. Endusers are not covered and the basis and board spreads are indications of that. The Buenos Aires Cereals Exchange pegged their first 2012-13 corn production for Argentina at 25 million mt. The USDA is forecasting 27 mmt. In Brazil’s Mato Grosso state their second, or safrinha, corn crop is 20 percent planted, well behind last year’s pace. New crop corn experienced minimal losses this week with December only down 1/4 cent at $5.63 per bushel. Drought conditions have improved for the United States in general, but minimal gains have been made in the key corn-producing states in the Midwest, including Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio. OUTLOOK: Corn took a breather to end the week on the first positive close in February and ahead of the President’s Day long weekend (no markets Feb. 18). Post-holiday, all eyes will be on South American weather and the amount and coverage of forecasted rain events. A drier pattern is expected for the week of Feb. 18. The February USDA Outlook Conference takes place Feb. 21-22 and we’ll see what their 2013-14 predictions are. Already the expectation for 2013-14 is for increased carryouts. The market still has a rationing job to do with ethanol plants

restarting, domestic users scrambling for supplies and a South American crop that hasn’t shipped yet. The short-term range for March corn is $6.78 (the January low) to $7.12 to $7.20 per bushel. March corn was down 10 1/4 cents this week, settling at $6.98 3/4 per bushel; December corn was only 1/4 cent lower at $5.63 per bushel. SOYBEANS — The soybean action mirrored corn during the week, settling lower six out of the last eight sessions. The damage and length weren’t as severe as in corn; the high in March soybeans since the decline began Feb. 6 was $14.97, the low $14.04 1/2, for a loss of 92 1/2 cents or 6.2 percent. The same symptoms in corn were also found in soybeans, possibly magnified since China was on holiday the week ending Feb. 15. Weekly export sales were a net decrease of 4 million bushels, making it the worst weekly export number this marketing year. New crop sales were less than anticipated at 8.6 million bushels. After China’s holiday this week, next week’s sales won’t be expected to be impressive either. The Lunar New Year holiday didn’t prevent an old crop soybean sale cancellation of 250,000 mt by unknown on Friday; the assumption is this was China. The BA Cereals Exchange put Argentina’s bean crop at 50 mmt, unchanged from their last estimate. The USDA’s last estimate was 53 mmt. The boat line-up in Brazil continues to grow, with reportedly 81 bean and 33 corn boats waiting to load, along with 17 meal and 25 pellet vessels. The wait time has grown to 35 to 37 days. Talk

about a labor strike in Brazil has also been hinted. The market needs a seamless transition from the United States to South American supplies. What’s your confidence that will happen? Brazil’s bean harvest was estimated at 12 percent complete versus the five-year average pace of 7 percent. The National Oilseed Processors Association January crush figure was 158.2 million bushels versus estimates for 160.6 million bushels and 11 percent higher than a year ago. The September-to-January total crush is running 10 percent higher than last year when the USDA is forecasting the 2012-13 crush to be 5.1 percent lower than last year. For the USDA figure not to be surpassed the balance of the marketing year, crush must be 16 percent lower than last year for the Februaryto-August time frame when we’re running 10 percent ahead. Oil stocks of 2.823 billion pounds were up from December’s 2.6 billion pounds and higher than the 2.713 billion estimate. An impressive section of the NOPA report was the massive 1.118 million tons of meal exports, the second high-

est all-time number. OUTLOOK: The same theme applies to soybeans as in corn; the market has a tough job ahead of it to assure we don’t run out of soybeans this summer. March soybeans were down 28 cents at $14.24 1/2 this week, with the November contract off 20 1/4 cents at $12.61 3/4 per bushel. Short-term support for the March soybeans is this week’s low of $14.04 1/2 and resistance at the gap from this week from $14.50 3/4 to $14.51 per bushel. Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending Feb. 15: Minneapolis wheat declined 12 3/4 cents this week, Kansas City was 22 cents lower and Chicago was down 14 cents. March crude oil gained 14 cents to $95.86 this week, heating oil was down 2 3/4 cents, gasoline jumped 7 1/2 cents higher, and natural gas dropped 12 cents. The U.S. dollar index for the week was up 0.274 points mid-afternoon at 80.487. This material has been prepared by a sales or trading employee or agent of CHS Hedging Inc. and should be considered a solicitation. ❖

TEALE, from pg. 19 is primarily due to the fact that, from a value standpoint, pork is a better value than most meats on a pound-forpound 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 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. ❖

NEHER, from pg. 19 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 “do-nothing” 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. ❖

In this discussion, the focus will be primarily on the RP policies, since they are most popular for Midwest corn and soybean producers. • The yield guarantee, “farm unit” determinations, insurance coverage selections (50 percent to 85 percent), replant and prevented planting coverage, etc. for RP and RPE insurance policies are the same as for YP policies. • Following is how RP and RPE “Price Guarantees” are calculated. (All prices are based on CBOT futures prices, and not cash prices.) Corn Base price for RP and RPE policies is the average settlement price for December CBOT corn futures during February. Harvest price for RP policies is the average settlement price for December CBOT corn futures in October during the year of harvest. Limit: The harvest price maximum for RP is limited to the base price times 200 percent. Example: $5.80/bu. base price X 2 = $11.60/bu. maximum. There are no restrictions regarding downside price movement. Soybeans Base price for RP and RPE policies is the average settlement price for November soybean futures during February. Harvest price for RP policies is the average settlement price for November CBOT corn futures in October during

the year of harvest. Limit: The harvest price maximum for RP is limited to the base price times 200 percent. Example: $13.25/bu. base price X 2 = $26.50/bu. maximum. There are no restrictions regarding downside price movement. • 2013 YP, RP and RPE base prices will be finalized on March 1. As of Feb. 8, the prices are estimated at ... Corn: $5.81/bu. Soybeans: $13.28/bu. Wheat: $8.68/bu. • The higher of the base price or the harvest price is used to calculate revenue guarantee per acre for RP policies, and the harvest price is also used to determine the value of the harvested crop for both RP and RPE policies. • RP (80 percent policy with enterprise units) corn crop loss example (190 bu./acre APH; 152 bu./acre guarantee; and 150 bu./acre harvest yield; $5.81/bu.

Enterprise units A few years ago, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Risk Management Agency increased the federal subsidy for purchasing insurance coverage under “enterprise units,” which combines all acres of a crop in a given county into one crop insurance unit. Many producers who previously used “Optional Units,” which allows producers 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 See PROGRAMS, pg. 23

Many producers using enterprise units for premium savings ment 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. 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. Bottom line on crop insurance decisions Crop insurance premium reductions for 2013. Crop insurance premiums for most 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 See PROGRAMS, pg. 24

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 TA-APH adjusted yield would be 197.5 bu./acre. A producer must have at least one actual reported yield for a crop from a farm unit in the past four years for that crop and farm unit to be eligible for the TA-APH endorsement, which must be an actual yield, and not a T-yield that was used. 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. The use of the TA-APH yield endorsement will not directly affect crop insurance premiums, as the premiums are based on the level of coverage and dollar guarantee; however, the use of the TA-APH endorse-

PROGRAMS, from pg. 22 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 standard 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 county-average 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. 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

Websites offer wealth of crop insurance information PROGRAMS, from pg. 23 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 TAAPH endorsement, to get premium quotes, and to help finalize 2013 crop insurance decisions.

Schutz: Dairy industry turbulence could settle in 2013 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 LEADER IN FEEDERS!

“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.” Farmers with low feed 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.

■ Looking “back to the futures,” first half 2013 Class III contracts portended an $18.02 average on Jan. 11; $17.98 on Jan. 18; $17.60 on Jan. 25; $17.69 on Feb. 1; $17.82 on Feb. 8; and was trading around $17.61 late-morning Feb. 15, including the announced January Class III price. California’s March Class I milk price was announced by the California Department of Food at Agriculture at $19.33 per hundredweight for the north and $19.60 for the south. Both are down 50 cents from February but are $1.73 above March 2012. That puts the three month average at $19.80 for the north and $20.07 for the south, $1.13 above the threemonth average a year ago. The March Federal order Class I base is announced Feb. 21 by the USDA. ■ Speaking of California milk prices, DairyBusiness Update reports that about 200 people attended a panel discussion at the World Ag Expo this week to learn more about the possibilities of California joining the federal market order. The panel consisted of Tom Wegner from Land O’Lakes, Elvin Hollon, Dairy Farmers of America, and Eric Erba, California Dairies Inc. Many producers voiced their displeasure over the CDFA and look forward to taking the next step. The DBU said several objectives would have to take place for this large body of milk to join the federal order pooling system. The operation and administration of the federal order pool would be a USDA function, while the CDFA would be expected to administer the quota and also continue with collecting data. Mark Stephenson, director of dairy policy analysis at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, told DairyBusiness Radio’s Bill Baker attempts to join the federal order system will take due diligence, and face challenges. California producers will also have to think about pooling issues, as all plants that are pooled under California’s system today are not optional. A federal order system is optional, so plants would have to be convinced it’s in their best interest to be in that federal order pool. There’s also the possibility California cheese milk prices equal with federal order prices make it more difficult for manufacturers to push cheese from the West Coast to the East Coast, due to input costs, according to Stephenson, concluding that “I think with the price volatility and the troughs that we had that it’s been difficult to view the California dairy industry’s status quo as being long-term sustainable. I think they have to do something different.” ■ Speaking of price volatility, USDA chief economist Dr. Joe Glauber, in Senate testimony this week, highlighted “the harm that high feed costs are causing for the nation’s dairy farmers, and is stark evidence of the need for Congress to pass a farm bill that will provide a workable new safety net for dairy producers.” Glauber said that feed costs make up 51 percent of

THE LAND, FEBRUARY 22, 2013

Exports remain vital part of strong U.S. dairy economy MIELKE, from pg. 27 expenses for dairy, the highest feed costs of any livestock commodity, pointing out that, because of high feed costs, milk feed ratios have remained near the low levels experienced during 2009. He warned that “another year of below-trend yields and high (feed) prices would likely result in further liquidation of herds.” ■ Back to trade, exports remain a vital part of a strong U.S. dairy economy. The Feb. 8 Daily Dairy Report said that U.S. dairy product exports in December rebounded from low levels in November. December cheese and curd exports totaled 20,901 metric tons, an increase of 2.3 percent from December 2011 and the strongest monthly cheese exports since July.

The United States exported a record 260,034 mt of cheese in 2012, according to the DDR, an increase of 15.8 percent from 2011. Cheese exports to Mexico, the largest importer of U.S. cheese, were also record large and 36 percent higher than in 2011. Exports to South Korea were up 12.4 percent. However, Jerry Dryer pointed out in his Feb. 8 Dairy and Food Market Analyst that December cheese imports were greater than cheese exports, “something that has not occurred for a very long time.” Cheese imports totaled 21,746 mt (62 percent more than December 2011) versus cheese exports of 20,901 mt. “The December explosion in imports came on the heels of November, when cheese imports (up 22 percent versus a year earlier) matched USA exports,” said Dryer, who added that “much of the imported

product was so-called ‘processing solids’, that is milk solids headed for conversion into processed cheese. This helps explain most of the abnormally large spread between the block and barrel prices.” The DDR adds the caveat, “as Oceania milk production slows, the U.S. has the opportunity to increase dairy product trade with Southeast Asia.” The DDR reported that butter and milkfat exports in December totaled 3,503 mt, an increase of 6 percent from December 2011 and 19 percent more than in November on a daily average basis. Full-year exports of 48,642 mt were 24 percent lower than 2011 due to U.S. butterfat prices that were noncompetitive globally for much of 2012. December nonfat dry milk exports totaled 32,454 mt, a decline of 3.2 percent from December 2011. December NDM exports were 6.5 percent higher than November on a daily average basis. Milk powder exports to Mexico slowed notably from strong levels this past fall. Last year, milk powder exports to Mexico were 13 percent higher than in 2011. End-users, both domestic and foreign, have shown more interest in U.S. NDM now that prices have fallen to attractive levels. However, milk powder stocks remain heavy, the DDR warned. Listen to the DDR’s “Daily Dairy Discussion” for more details on the DDR website at www.dailydairyreport.com. ■

Meanwhile, the U.S. Dairy Export Council reported that, for the second straight year, the United States shipped more than 13 percent of its annual milk solids overseas, “a continued sign that U.S. dairy suppliers are building a more major role in meeting the needs of burgeoning global dairy demand.” “U.S. dairy exports are now a $5-billion business,” USDEC’s Tom Suber said. “Export value hit a record $5.21 billion in 2012 and the nation’s dairy suppliers sent 3.295 billion pounds of total milk solids into export channels last year.” With more dairy products moving overseas, U.S. dairy producers have been able to grow in the last decade while minimizing the accumulation of burdensome inventories in the domestic market, said Paul Rovey, a dairy producer from Arizona and chairman of the USDEC, which is funded by U.S. dairy farmers. “Since 2003, U.S. milk production has increased 18 percent and more than half (56 percent) of the incremental milk volume has been sold overseas,” Rovey said, crediting the USDEC’s long-term engagement in overseas markets.

Economist: Feed costs, weather to drive dairy profits 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

is not a lot higher than one year ago. “Just think back to the mild weather last winter. It’s tough to match that yield pace,” Brown said. “Commercial disappearance shows stronger growth. 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.

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

Smoked ribs and chocolate strawberries great anytime Hey guys, Valentine’s Day may have come and gone, but here is a simple dessert recipe and a gift idea that will blow the socks off your significant other any time. 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. Let’s change that trend starting now. There are two true choices in pork ribs. I will detail them below. 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. It’s kind of like the bone-in 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. 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

Minnesota Department of Agriculture has another round of funding available for projects that will help farmers, producers and processors add value to their operations. A total of $500,000 in funding was made available through the Agricultural Growth, Research and Innovation Program. The MDA will distribute the funds through its AGRI Value Added Grant Program which aims to increase sales of Minnesota agricultural products by diversifying markets and by increasing market access and food safety. Proposals that have a meat processing, farm-to-school (or other institution) component, or are addressing Good Agricultural Practices or similar type of food safety plan will receive priority, but all value added proposals are encouraged to apply. Small to medium sized operations will also receive special consideration. Proposals that include business planning, feasibility studies, marketing planning and succession planning are eligible for 50 per-

cent of the total project cost up to a maximum grant award of $30,000. Equipment purchases or physical improvements are eligible for 25 percent of the total project cost up to a maximum grant award of $70,000 with a completed business plan or food safety plan. A business or food safety plan must outline what equipment and improvements are necessary to fulfill the plan. Round two applications must be received no later than 4 p.m. on March 1. Proposals may be delivered by mail, in person, or by e-mail. If a proposal is emailed, the time and date it is received by the program administrator will be considered the received-by date. Applications are available at www.mda.state.mn.us/valueadded.aspx. For more information, contact David Weinand, MDA grants administrator, at david.weinand@state.mn.us or (651) 201-6646.

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.

Rural mailboxes a quiet connection to outside world

THE LAND, FEBRUARY 22, 2013

We got a garden seed catalog in the mail this week, as many of you probably did. It’s a great time to think about spring bulbs breaking through the ground while the thermometer mercury drops lower than Lance Armstrong’s popularity ratings (as if that’s possible) and the winter winds howl outside like hungry pack wolves. But I was thinking about more than the catalog on the day it arrived. As I pulled up my collar in the wind and

did the “wimpy mom run” back to the house, I was thinking about what our lives would be like without a mailbox out here on the farm. One of our neighbors writes in her Christmas letter each year that, “…part of the fun of the holidays is going to the mailbox.” I always love to read that line because it reminds me that we are rural, and that our lives are not like those of our urban friends.

Promise of America

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Staff Writer Dick Hagen

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

THE LAND, FEBRUARY 22, 2013

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. ❖
