health insurance that is eligible for federal subsidies. Second, states must choose to participate in a federally funded expansion of Medicaid to cover more of their low-income, uninsured citizens. Early on, both choices became overtly political. Republican-led red states lined up against building “bureaucratic” insurance exchanges and fought any expansion of Medicaid in their home pasture. Later, however, when state legislatures and governors began to examine the programs, a less political picture began to come into focus. For example, the mandated Medicaid expansion carries a fat federal carrot: the federal government — in essence, taxpayers in the other 49 See GUEBERT, pg. 4A

Doctor: 80,000 lives saved per year, for $10,000 each GUEBERT, from pg. 3A states — will pick up 93 percent of its cost in your state from 2014 through 2022. The expansion still won’t be cheap. The federal cost through 2022, estimates the Congressional Budget Office, will be $931 billion. The states’ combined cost, if all 50 join in, will be an estimated $73 billion. That money, however, will insure 17 million more low-income Americans who will use local health care facilities in the coming decade whether your
state or mine joins the ACA-offered deal. In fact, according to an Urban Institute analysis, if all 50 states adopt the expanded Medicaid program, their collective, 10-year cost would be $26 billion to $52 billion less than if all remained in today’s Medicaid program for just the next five years. Medicare spending also carries economic benefits for states. Two years ago, Oklahoma State University’s National Center for Rural Health Works estimated that Okla-
homa spent $785 million to provide Medicaid statewide in 2010. That spending, combined with the federal share, however, funded 113,000 in-state jobs and generated $10.5 billion in economic activity. Even better, all that spending produced $351 million in taxes in the state. For links to all research, log on to www.farmandfoodfile.com. The benefit is even bigger should you get sick, wrote Dr. Wayne Myers, a retired pediatrician and former director of the federal Office of Rural Health Policy, in a December post on the Daily Yonder — at www.dailyyonder.com where, full disclosure, I write a twicemonthly column, also. A recent, five-year Harvard School of Public Health study, noted Myers, showed that “one life was saved each year for every 176 adults enrolled in Medicaid expansion.” As such, he figured, an ACA expansion of Medicaid, if adopted by all states, would “save 80,000 lives per
year for a state outlay of about $10,000 per life saved.” Ten grand is chicken feed if you or a family member becomes sick. And, yet, the political leaders in 30 mostly rural states either stand undecided or decidedly against expanding Medicaid to their citizens. Why? It can’t be money because the ACA is the law and Medicaid is almost certain to be expanded with or without these states taking the — duh — 93percent-federal cost-sharing offer on the table. That leaves either politics or religion as the reason, so ask your local politicians which it is. And while you’re at it, ask these political leaders what kind of taxpayersupported health care insurance they have.

Prairie and native grasslands are disappearing rapidly, taking soil and habitat as well as hunting, ranching and other economic opportunities with them. Congress should ensure that federal farm and crop insurance subsidies don’t exacerbate the loss of these vital natural resources. Fortunately, Reps. Kristi Noem, R-S.D., Tim Walz, DMinn., and six bipartisan co-sponsors, including Rep. Collin Peterson, D-Minn., House agriculture committee ranking member, recently introduced legislation that creates a nationwide “sodsaver” law that would slash subsidies that contribute to the destruction of native grassland and prairie. The Protect Our Prairies Act would prohibit federal payments and reduce crop insurance premium subsidies by 50 percent on newly broken native sod. The act also closes loopholes by requiring that newly broken sod be isolated from other crop acres when calculating insurable yields. Operators would be required to take a percentage of the county average yield for any newly broken native sod until they are

Letter: Leaders can’t balance budget, but we’re the dumb ones? To the Editor: After receiving each new issue of The Land, I am amazed at the lack of basic knowledge and common sense there is in this country. Maybe it is a reflection of the public school system or the bias of the news networks. Our forefathers came to this country for freedom. This included freedom of, not from, religion. They wanted to own private property and work hard to improve it. They were also fleeing big government (the king) who was taxing them to death. Once they were here they wrote the greatest document ever written to prevent the government from controlling and dominating their lives. The Bill of Rights protects us from “who?” Big government. Talk to someone who has lived in Cuba, Poland, China or the USSR and find out what it is like when all your freedoms have vanquished. Now this country and its leaders are returning to the European “tax-and-spend” policies. Hard work and success is punished and private property is being taken over by the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Agency. They think we are too dumb to know what is best for us and our families and must listen to them, the “smart people” out east (Congress) who can’t pass a budget or balance the U.S. checkbook.

As Ed Frederick sowed, ag ed reaped
Ed Frederick “I’m the old one in the family now.” Frederick married Shirley in 1951 and moved to the University of Minnesota, where he had a position in the dairy department while he was going to school.
And go to school he did, earning three degrees in six years, including a bachelor’s and master’s, topped off by a doctorate in dairy husbandry in 1957. He was hired at the Crookston campus in 1958, teaching and heading up the dairy and livestock department. In 1964 he became superintendent of the Southern School of Agriculture and Southern Experiment Station in Waseca, a community he wouldn’t leave. In 1969 he was chosen to lead a new two-year agriculture college, the University of Minnesota, Waseca, campus. It was a position he held until 1992, when the university closed the campus in a controversial move that devastated the community and still rankles Frederick today. For the next 20 years, Frederick served as a senior fellow at the university until retiring at the end of 2012. As a senior fellow, he led a study on the university’s role in rural development, worked on several community rural development projects, advised the university on its ag programs, among other things. “It was the best of all worlds to be working on projects I was interested in and that the university was interested in. I could have retired anytime along the way, but I was doing what I wanted.” Much of that work took place in his office where he could peer out the window at the razor wire of the low-security federal prison, where about 1,100 women are confined — a number just shy of the number of students who attended the campus when it was an ag college. See FREDERICK, pg. 8A
<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>
By TIM KROHN Mankato Free Press Ed Frederick, who has been one of the state’s greatest champions of agriculture education, has seen revolutionary changes since he first dug his hands in the soil of his family’s rural Madison Lake farm. “I remember taking a wire across the field to hilldrop corn seeds so you could cross cultivate it both ways. Now the weed and pest protection is genetically built into the seed.” Frederick, 82, has officially ended his 60-year career in ag education with the University of Minnesota, but he admits his daily routine hasn’t changed a whole lot. He still has an office on the Southern Research and Outreach Center in Waseca, just across the street from the federal prison that was once the ag college Frederick helped build. “I’m really doing nothing different in retirement. I was so darn fortunate to work in something I was so passionate about and loved so much. I’m still active in Farmamerica, the Waseca Chamber, and 4-H alumni and FFA alumni. There are plenty of things to do and it’s all fun.” Family farm roots Frederick grew up on a farm of nine kids, seven of them boys. The siblings would go on to cut a wide swath of entrepreneurial and professional success. While Ed went to gain multiple degrees, his brothers, including Sal and Tom Sr., went on to build and run the Happy Chef restaurant chain. The family’s numbers have thinned over the years with the Korea War, a car crash and old age taking several siblings.

Frederick: College closure ‘still doesn’t make sense’ FREDERICK, from pg. 7A He knew everyone Gyles Randall, a retired professor and soil scientist, came to the Southern Experiment Station in 1970 as Frederick was starting UMW. “His leadership in education is really showing today. A lot of the leaders in ag in the past 10 or 15 years are UMW graduates.” Randall said Frederick is a likable man who possesses a rare political quality, coupled with impeccable work ethic. “He’s one of those guys who remembered everyone’s name and face. He was like Hubert Humphrey that way,” he said. “He can be humorous and get people’s attention, but he’s very meticulous and bright and knew how to work.” Randall said Frederick’s love of education was broad. “He valued not just book learning but on-site experience. He had a professional experience program that every student had to participate in before graduating. And if students wanted to go to St. Paul and get a four-year degree, he was fully behind
them. He just valued education.” A bitter pill The two-year ag college was the pride of Waseca and a fast-growing campus that quickly went from 150 students to well over 1,000 at its peak in the 1980s. In the late-’80s University President Nils Hasselmo recommended the campus be closed in a money-saving move. Hundreds of students went to the Twin Cities to protest the move and Hasselmo was dubbed the “grim reaper” of agriculture. The Board of Regents voted to shut down the college, saving the university just $6.4 million, a sliver of the university’s then $1.6 billion budget. Frederick hoped the passage of time would make sense of the decision — but it hasn’t. “Usually those kinds of decisions, when they’re made, are made for a reason and as the years go by the decisions seem to make more sense. But that decision still doesn’t make sense,” Frederick said. “We had a great two-year college that could have developed into a four-year college, and it would have been a terrific thing for the region.”

He said the training that could have been provided today is needed more than ever. “There is a void in this area. Agriculture is so important and we should be developing the education here. The U of M does some things, but we’re on the firing line here. This is where it should be.” Noting that 20 percent of the people in the state work in the broad area of agriculture and agribusiness, Frederick said it’s a mistake to think of ag education as a place to train farmers. “That’s part of it, but it’s all of the other things, too. You need the brightest and the best with all the technology and biogenetics and renewable energy. With all the developments, it takes a lot of education and training to get the jobs done,” he said. “Modern agriculture is not well understood by people. It’s unbelievable the transition we’ve gone though.” An open house retirement celebration for Frederick will be 4-8 p.m. April 19 at Farmamerica near Waseca with a short program at 5:30 p.m. The Mankato Free Press is a sister publication to The Land under The Free Press Media. ❖

But he’s confident about the future believing there’s lots of room to grow this market for organic food products. However he’d like to see “sustainable ag” across all commodities, including the livestock sector. He has a neighbor two miles away with over 35 years of organic farming experience. “He’s my mentor and a key reason why we got into organic farming,” VanderWoude said.

Trait selection isn’t an issue simply because organic seed corn isn’t marketed on the basis of trait offerings. “But I used two different hybrids last year, one supposedly with some drought resistance and it was my poorest corn.” That’s why he doesn’t plant just a single brand of seed corn. With soybeans “brand shopping” is less a factor; same with oats. At harvest if his corn needs some artificial drying he fires up his grain dryer, usually drying it a couple points below the 15-percent level “because the quality persists better. And that extra cost to dry it down to 12 to 13 percent I figure is covered at the selling end.” He earns some bonus money on higher test weight corn. “On this year’s crop, test weights were so good premiums were good also.” Respectable yields are not an issue. Some parts of his corn did 170 bushels per acre in 2012. He described his organic fields as heavy ground with no tile — perhaps the right stuff for hot and dry 2012. Soybeans averaged about 48 bushels. He’s figuring about a $14 to $15 price for his corn; soybeans should be in the $24 to $26 range. Organic farming is definitely a pay-

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Sometimes selling your dairy cows enhances both your checkbook and your life. It’s certainly true for Paul VanderWoude of rural Pipestone, Minn. He and his wife, Rochelle, sold their 70cow dairy operation three years ago but have been into organic farming for six years. Today they have a 240-acre certified organic farm of which 180 acres is tillable and 60 acres is organic pasture ground. Selling their organic crop production, they say, is more rewarding than selling milk. “Marketing hasn’t been an issue,” he said. “I do shop prices with three or four companies. I wait until I have the grain in the bin after harvest. I know what I have to work with so I watch the markets ’til January, then contract for April, May, June selling.” The firm buying his grain sends semi rigs to pick up at his farm. “I’ve learned a lot but I still have much to learn about this entire farming strategy,” VanderWoude admitted. What got him into organics? Economics, pure and simple. He liked the idea of selling his corn and soybeans for about twice the price of conventional grain prices. But he also had deep concerns over the growing usage of chemicals and genetic manipulations of seeds. “I’ve never liked the chemical usage and the genetic alterations that were happening in the seed industry,” VanderWoude said. “To me it’s a health issue. I milked cows for nearly 30 years. I got talked into using BT corn. When I made corn silage out of that crop I couldn’t get milk production. I had health troubles with them. So from then on in my mind these genetically altered crops just didn’t seem right.” Weed control persists as the perennial challenge of growing organic crops, so you quickly learn what you’ve got to do, VanderWoude said. It starts with destroying as much of your weed population as you can before planting. You’re planting a couple weeks later than “normal” to get those later-emerging weeds, but you’ve got warmer soils by then so germination is quicker. “Then just before the corn spikes out of the ground I hit it with a drag harrow; a week or so later I harrow again,” VanderWoude said. He usually cultivates three times with his six-row, 30inch cultivator. Accessing organic seed is not an

Cover story: Black bears and cornfields don’t mix By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer The two-day Minnesota Ag Expo in late-January covered a multitude of issues concerning growing corn and soybeans. One display presented the troubles one rather large pest it posing in some northern Minnesota corn- Mark Ditmer fields For starters, this particular display had the intriguing title: Isotopic Analyses of Dietary Reliance on Crops by the American black bear. No, it didn’t feature a live black bear. But Mark Ditmer, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, was on hand and he’s the guy now into his fourth year of researching the dietary habits of the black bear. Technology to the rescue Ditmer has about a dozen black bears in his northwest Minnesota territory, each wearing special collars equipped with a GPS device that precisely tracks the location of each bear. By analyzing the travel habits of his bears, he can determine precisely what have been the favorite eating places of his black bears. Perhaps not surprising, cornfields are the No. 1 picnic grounds for bears. “Around the Thief River Falls area and north to the Canadian border if there’s a cornfield, chances are a bear will know about it,” Ditmer said. “Certain individuals (bears) really hone in on selected cornfields and spend upwards of 70 percent of their time

in these cornfields (and also sunflower fields). Our isotopic analyses lets us see what the bear’s diet was comprised of. We analyze the bear’s hair along with samples from the corn-
field.” Are cornfields the attraction of female black bear fattening up for their winter solstice? To the contrary, it’s mostly the male black bear that forages in cornfields. “They’re less risk adverse and are more willing to travel long distances to satisfy their appetites. The average territory for the male bear encompasses about 330 square miles,” Ditmer said. So how does a black bear sense there’s a luscious cornfield 10 to 15 miles away? They have an incredible sense of smell according to Ditmer; much better than the nose of a dog. That keen sense is causing a bit of an issue for some farmers who don’t relish bears foraging in their crop fields. “Field corn catches a few bears but sweet corn, watch out. Up to 10 bears have been spotted in a sweet corn patch at one time. That’s much like total destruction,” Ditmer said. Farmers can fight back, or shoot back would be better words. “Farmers are allowed to take as many bears as needed that are deprecating their crop fields. But they do need to report each incident to the DNR. Also in this area an unlimited number of bear

Judge orders Excelsior wind-energy firm to halt sales sold to the power grid, earning them $700 to $1,300 a month that could be used to recoup their initial costs within five to 10 years. The company promised to quickly obtain the necessary permits, apply for stimulus funds and bank loans and build and maintain the windmills.

Distributed by McClatchy-Tribune Information Services A Hennepin County judge has ordered an Excelsior, Minn., company that’s being sued by Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson to stop selling any more small wind turbines to farmers and to produce an accounting of its earlier sales within two weeks. The order, issued late afternoon Feb. 20, came in response to a lawsuit Swanson’s office filed in January alleging that Renewable Energy SD and its owner, Shawn Dooling, 46, of Shorewood, Minn., sold farmers in Minnesota and elsewhere faulty windmills using federal stimulus money aimed at helping the country during the recession. The company either failed to deliver many of the windmills or, in some cases, erected turbines that failed to perform properly or at all, the suit says. Judge Mary Steenson DuFresne ordered RESD and its officers, employees or agents to stop soliciting or marketing to new customers for wind turbine energy development projects or related products. The order allows the company to fulfill its existing contracts but bars it from misrepresenting or misstating project delivery or completion deadlines “to induce, encourage or lead any existing customer to pay additional money to the company.” Swanson’s office has identified between 100 and 150 RESD customers and has indications that there may be more. Some 40 customers have filed affidavits in the lawsuit alleging they paid millions of dollars for products that were never delivered, failed to work or produced less energy than promised. As a result, farmers had to pay interest on money they borrowed to install the units. Rules on federal stimulus money require that the equipment work for at least five years, so farmers might also be forced to repay federal grants they received. According to Swanson, Dooling and his sales staff promised state-of-the-art wind turbines that would last up to 25 years and qualify for federal grants under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Dooling, who formerly sold security systems in Minnesota and Missouri, formed RESD in South Dakota about two months after the law took effect. The law provided grants to cover 30 percent of each turbine’s cost. Swanson’s lawsuit says farmers were told the windmills would produce excess energy that could be

Sale, trade show, educational seminar set for beef showcase Plan now to attend the second annual Minnesota Beef Showcase, Sale and Agribition. The Showcase is set for March 14-16 at the Red Horse Ranch Arena near Fergus Falls, Minn. An all-breeds bull and female sale begins at noon on March 16. A total of 100 live animals and embryo lots have been consigned. The Minnesota Beef Showcase is the only event of its kind in Minnesota. Minnesota has a growing productive beef industry. The goal of the showcase is to bring the Minnesota beef industry together in a central location with an all-breeds sale, where all cattle breeders, no matter which breed, could come together to promote each breeder’s individual breeding program. The Beef Showcase also includes a tradeshow where beef industry retailers and dealers will present new products and concepts to producers and consumers. Look for new ideas and proven standards to be on display at the trade show. The third part of this event is a half-day educational seminar. The seminar brings to the producers new ideas and products to help them improve their program and productivity. The focus for the seminar this year is pasture management. Due to the severe shortage of moisture, pastures will take some time to recover. There will be three excellent speakers presenting information about pasture management and maximizing available feed resources. The speakers include Peter Scharpe, ProfitPro animal manure and crop management consultant; Jeff Duchene, Natural Resources Conservation Service grazing specialist; and Dave Bennett, Rydell and Glacial Ridge National Wildlife Refuges. Scharpe will discuss how producers can dramatically

BEAR, from pg. 10A tags get issued each fall but an individual hunter can kill only two bears,” he said. Obviously Ditmer and most people don’t want to depopulate the black bear out of Minnesota. Females are seldom an issue in crop fields unless the corn or sunflower field is adjacent to a wooded area. So he suggested using some judgment in where these crops are planted to avoid the bear’s sense of smell. “Chances are however the male bear will find these fields regardless because that’s their nature.” Ditmer is a fifth year doctorate student at the University of Minnesota looking at various aspects of bear ecology after graduation, especially the impact on agriculture and the reliance on agricultural crops for their sustenance. He said the DNR monitors bear activity throughout the state but he’s the only person doing these specific eating habit studies in an area that overlaps a lot of agricultural areas. This unusual, perhaps even remote DNR research, is partially funded with checkoff dollars from the Minnesota Corn Research & Promotion Council. He’s had upwards of 25 bears wearing collars during a particular cropping season; this year he has 10 bears so equipped. With five years of continuous study he’s collected significant data via his isotopic analyses technology. Black bears don’t have a long life span, partly because of the heavy hunting pressures. “But we do have a collared bear that is now 36 years old so they can be long-life animals if not hunted.” Explaining the bear collar at his display at the MN Ag Expo, he described it as a satellite GPS collar. Bears are trapped in the spring, drugged temporarily, then collared and released. “I then start receiving e-mails with the bear’s locations. In the winter we go into the bear’s den, drug the animal and adjust the collar so there’s no injury to its neck, check the bear’s health and it’s ready to go come spring. This particular collar records the bear’s location approximately every two hours plus its activity and temperature so we even know the amount of time it spends moving each two-hour period.” These high-tech collars are a bit pricey — about $4,500 according to Ditmer plus the $500 per year satellite “air time” to collect all those “position fixes” that it shoots up to the satellite which then sends that data to Ditmer for his data base. ❖

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Just as nature “fights back” with herbicide-resistant weed species, so too is nature putting some dents in the soybean cyst nematode resistance armor. Soybean growers were increasingly confident they could purchase their soybean seed with SCN resistance bred into the seed. Cathy Johnson That confidence level, however, is being tested. “After a number of years of using the same source of resistance, the nematodes are adapting and are able to overcome that source of resistance,” said Cathy Johnson, research scientist at the Southern Research and Outreach Center in Waseca, Minn. She ventured the bulk of soybeans being sold in Minnesota have some type of SCN resistance. But with the nematodes fighting back, so to speak, and Peking and PI 88788 continuing as the major sources of SCN resistance in commercial soybean varieties, serious soybean cyst issues are likely to surface. How devastating is the SCN? It’s estimated to cause more than $1 billion worth of damage each year. SCN is simply the most destructive pathogen of soybeans in the United States. And because the nematode can infect fields without showing obvious above-ground symptoms, SCN yield losses are often underestimated. Just what is this voracious critter? The soybean cyst nematode is a microscopic roundworm that attacks the roots of soybean plants and a number of other host plants. The life cycle of SCN includes the egg, four juvenile stages and the adult stage. After penetrating the soybean root tip, the second-stage juvenile nematode establishes a feeding site in the vascular tissue of the soybean root where it enlarges to become sausage-shaped, and molts three more times before becoming an adult. When fully developed, the adult female’s body pro-

Formidable foe: SCN egg is both durable and resistant SCN, from pg. 13A trudes outside of the root and is visible without magnification. The mature male stops feeding and exits the root. When the female dies, several hundred nematode eggs are retained inside its body —
now referred to as the cyst — which changes color to a dark brown. The cyst protects the eggs and serves as the over-wintering and long-term survival structure of the nematode eggs. The egg itself is durable and resistant. Some eggs under laboratory condi-
tions have been able to survive for more than nine years before hatching. So this is indeed a most formidable challenge. “Rotation to a non-host crop is the best way to fight SCN-infected soils,” Johnson said, perhaps a primary reason the corn-soybean rotation persists in Minnesota, which now has 64 SCN-infected counties. The SCN was first found in North America in 1954. It is now found in soybean-producing areas around the world. SCN was first detected in Minnesota in 1978 in Faribault County. Johnson indicated other research areas being looked at include biocontrol which involves different fungi, which are a natural predator of the soybean nematode. “That’s not yet a reality for farm use,” she said, “but we have identified fields where there are naturally occurring fungi and we’re researching ways that we can introduce these fungi into fields that don’t already have this naturally occurring resistance.” Soils make a difference. The higher pH fields typically have a higher nematode count. Also iron-deficiency chlorosis is a common problem that may be induced or made more severe by SCN infection in high pH soil. Similarly SCN may induce potassium-deficiency symptoms in soils with low potassium levels. Today the Peking variety is the primary source of genetic SCN resistance. She indicated seed companies are researching other soybean lines besides the Peking and PI 88788 for reliable SCN resistance without objectionable yield drag. “Developing new sources without the yield drag is a major challenge,” Johnson said. Senyu Chen, a nematology professor at the SROC, heads up the SCN research effort which includes additional scientists in the College of Food Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences at the University of Minnesota. A bulletin, “Soybean Cyst Nematode Management Guide,” is available through the University of Minnesota Extension Service or at http://extension.umn.edu/soybean. ❖
Swany White Mill rises again from the ashes

Renewable fuels industry continues to evolve By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Admittedly these are some financially tough times for the ethanol industry, because of high corn prices and lower gasoline price. But the continually Robert Moffitt growing appetite for renewable fuels, even in the face of increasing domestic oil and natural gas supplies, will keep ethanol in the marketplace, according to American Lung Association spokesman Robert Moffitt. “Yes, the ethanol market has pretty well stabilized for now. The ones operating have found a way to stay prof-
itable so likely will keep on indefinitely,” Moffitt said. “And as improved processing techniques come along, or more additional processing into additional byline products is Larry Johnson developed I think the industry will strengthen.” He urged that we don’t forget about biodiesel — reminding that Minnesota was the first state to require biodiesel blends in all diesel fuel sold, starting at 2 percent biodiesel and now 5 percent biodiesel statewide. Minnesota is the only state mandating biodiesel at the 5 percent blend rate. “We’ll be

We don’t know what’s ahead. We don’t know corn prices. With technology ramping up production continually we could see $4 corn again. And if oil prices were to ramp up to $200 a barrel, then ethanol using $4 corn could be very profitable. — Larry Johnson highlighting biodiesel March 9-17 at the Twin Cities Auto Show,” Moffitt said. Larry Johnson, a Cologne, Minn., businessman and long-time advocate of the ethanol industry, is still a positive promoter of the industry. “There’s a lot of opportunity out there,” he said, “although it will look a bit different than the days we’ve had in the past. We don’t know what’s ahead. We don’t know corn prices. With technology ramping up production continually we could see $4 corn again. And if oil prices were to ramp up to $200 a barrel, then ethanol using $4 corn could be very profitable.” Johnson acknowledges that E85 is mostly a Midwest experience because — thanks to the Minnesota Corn Growers Association and a few other state organizations — that’s where the push has come from. “And I’m so hoping that the politics will eventually step aside and we’ll get E15, E20 and E30 ... flex fuels giving the driver the choice regardless of the auto. ... Right now the blend wall (the 10-percent level mandated as part of the Renewable Fuels Standard) is the biggest deterrent to the future of ethanol. Virtually any car in America could be using 15-percent, 20-percent, even 30percent levels of ethanol fuels with no issue.” He has a client needing a site where they can produce methanol out of the CO2 that’s being exhausted from an ethanol plant; currently CO2 is a waste product. The economics will likely be challenging, at least in the initial stages, but as these techniques are tweaked in an operational plant, some processing efficiencies are likely to be improved and discovered. Johnson said there is growing interest in producing isobutylene as a residual byproduct to ethanol production. Bioplastics are also likely to be built on some of these same platforms of existing ethanol plants. “So as more new ways get developed for producing more byproducts, this entire industry could be taking on new dimensions,” he
said. Johnson sees cellulosic energy as the next major step in renewable fuels. He mentioned three major companies already committing millions of dollars into the construction of processing facilities of cellulosic feedstocks. DuPont, Poet and Abengoa, a Spanish company, have building plans right now with intentions of having them operational in 2014. Each is designed with at least 25-million-gallon capacities from corn stover and related cellulosic products. Abengoa is working at a Hugoton, Kan., facility, Poet at Emmetsburg, Iowa, and DuPont at Nevada, Iowa. He’s consulting with a Danish company that is considering corn stover as the logical choice. This firm has done a business model indicating that at 400,000 tons of corn stover collected (3 tons per acre average) it’s going to require about $20 million of new equipment. He sees custom harvesting, handling and storage jumping into this potentially huge business once the economics prove out. Johnson said Brazil continues as the second-largest ethanol producer (from sugar cane) primarily for domestic use but also exports into European markets, and sometimes even the United States. He told of a sugar cane plant in Florida now looking at ethanol production. “Around the world the demand for ethanol is growing faster than the production. Palm tree plantations are springing up in Africa and other parts of the world to meet the growing demand for palm oil for processing into biodiesel. Also palm husks are now being used by a Japanese firm to produce ethanol.” Johnson sees corn stover as being the primary feedstock for cellulosic processing simply because America produces so much of it. But handling, storage and transportation are huge challenges with such a feedstock. Moffitt and Johnson were interviewed at the January Minnesota Ag Expo in Mankato. ❖

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Being recognized by the Minnesota Pork Board as the Environmental Steward of the Year is a big deal. You’re competing against some real pros in the business of pork production, and that means you need to be doing a lot of things the right way. Paul and Stephanie Fiedler of Villard, Minn., were the recipients of this award for 2012. Paul said they started in the hog business in 1996. “My mom is from Martin County; very big in pork production. Up here in Pope County my dad was a dairy farmer but when Mom brought up the idea of growing pigs, we switched over to pork and it’s been great.” Fiedler Finishing, Crystal Lean and Country Pork are the business names that encompass their operation, which includes two 3,200-head sow farms and grower-finisher buildings for that entire production. That adds up to about 140,000 hogs per year. A majority of the gilts become breeding stock for the genetics company, Genetiporc. They farm 2,700 acres of corn and soybeans, growing about 400,000 bushels of corn per year. They also purchase another 600,000 bushels depending upon pricing of distiller’s feedstuffs and other factors of the feed-sourcing nutrition chain. Their overall concern for the environment is evident. They have 220 acres of wildlife habitat with vegetative cover, buffer strips, shelter belts and tree plantings. Since 1997, they have planted 12,000 trees and shrubs around the sow sites and the finishing sites. Water conservation is high on their agenda as well. They use water meters and water timers for early detection of leaking or broken pipes. Even energy reduction is an issue. Micro-zone system heat lamps are used at their sow units; next might be the installation of LED lighting with lumens that mimic natural sunlight. When asked if there was any “black ink” in the pork industry these days, Stephanie replied, “We’re doing OK.” Paul added that contracts both on feed purchases and pork going out are integral parts of their business. “It’s been a little tight but it’s still working out OK,” he said.

Improved habitats, water conservation among efforts FIEDLERS, from pg. 17A regulations, and does much of the bookwork. She’s a business partner with her husband, and the mother of Brooke, 8, Luke, 7, and Bryce, 5. The “human resource” functions are important in an operation this big. The firm has 40 full-time employees. So it’s not just the interviewing and hiring of skilled people, it’s the quality of the people you employ. As with many bigger livestock operations in Minnesota, Hispanic labor is significant at Fiedler Finishing. They have seven on their payroll; Paul compliments their reliability and work ethic. “After Paul and Mark (Syverson, their production manager) have done the interviews and hiring,” Stephanie said, “I do the paperwork on each person, making certain each has the proper paperwork filed. That’s such an important part of hiring employees, regardless their ethnic background.” Slat floors for all their swine structures keeps them on target on their manure management program. But when you’re collecting manure from 140,000 pigs you’ve about taken care of the fertility needs of all their corn. The firm hires Anez Consulting and Central Crop Consulting to develop detailed field maps on soil fertility needs. A custom applicator uses GPS to fine-tune manure placement. “When it comes to manure application everybody knows what’s going on. There are no unanswered questions and no guessing,” Paul said. The Fiedlers are equally detailed with their field

tillage, and continually are tweaking the process to prevent erosion. To reduce potential nutrient and sediment runoff they removed 100 surface intakes, replacing them with closed, sand-packed system called French drains. In 2012 the Fielder corn crop averaged 210 bushels per acre. Testing the right housing package for the sow herd is a work in progress. One of the 3,200-head sow barns uses G-stalls; the other is pen gestation. “We’re trying to get a feel for both,” Paul said, “in essence which works best for our strategy. Pen gestation is challenging. We’re noting a production lag. But my bigger concern is the health of my employees. Working in these large pens with these big animals can be an issue. We’re trying to do the right
thing for the sows. Right now it’s a tough call.” Bio-security is always an issue in livestock production, but the Fiedlers understand that showing your face to the public is also important. They provide a summer tour of their facilities. This past summer a bus load of Japanese visitors came through. “We do upfront bio-security checks,” Paul said. “You can’t guarantee 100-percent compliance but you do the best.” He’s very much aware of the importance of continued pork exports. “We’re at 27 percent today,” he said. “Being able to sell even more overseas would be great and, with the expanding Asian markets, that might happen. American agriculture does a great job and part of that role is feeding the world. I think the swine industry takes on that challenge very well.” Paul said that with prices at the retail counter getting more attractive, pork keeps gaining on beef in terms of per capita consumption. “This year I understand that pork may actually tie beef and next year it’s likely to pass beef. We’re gaining. And in these tougher times for consumers it appears their meat budget is swinging over to more pork and less beef. “Restaurants seem to be picking up on pork too. You stop at the Granite City Brewery in St. Cloud, and they’ve practically an entire menu built around pork dishes.” Would marketing a 260-pound pig rather than a 280pound pig generate more net revenue? Paul said they have slightly better feed efficiency at the lighter market weight, but the heavier market weight is “built in” to the system. “You have all that initial cost of getting that animal into production and that includes your sow costs. Feeding up to 280 pounds is simply maxing out the total productivity of each sow that much more. In fact, when pork is in high demand and packers are buying up,we’ll take ours up to 300 pounds, even up to 320 pounds.Tyson will buy hogs that big.” With the tremendous costs of farming these days, how does Fiedler tackle risk management? Like many successful businesses, they hire a business consulting firm. “We work with Shane Johnson (of Hurley and Associates in Glenwood, Minn.),” Paul said. “He has an accounting program that touches all the key bases. He’s very much hands-on. He’s at our place frequently. Matter of fact, he probably knows as much or more about our business than I do.” Johnson keeps track of all their hedge contracts and cash contracts. “He uses my actual costs of production in his accounting formulas so I know precisely whether we’re making $5 a head or losing $5,” Fiedler said. An example: Johnson had the bulk of those 600,000 bushels of purchased corn locked in at about $5.50. Tyson is the major buyer of their pigs, doing about 70,000 pigs per year. The other 70,000 get split between Hormel, JBS and John Morrell. Paul said that Tyson will buy the bigger pig but it’s good to keep your options open through a few other buyers, too. “The Fiedlers are a great example of the quality of people involved in swine production today,” said production manager Mark Syverson. “They are both environmental and animal stewards. The last thing we want to do is work against the product that delivers the revenue.” The Fiedlers received their award Jan. 16 at the Minnesota Pork Congress at the Minneapolis Convention Center. ❖

I limit them to a certain nursery buildings. So suddenly it’s that pound ration that first week then cold water nipple instead of the comfort of a mother sow’s warm nipples. How to get these newly weaned youngsters feeling comfortable and eating? “You visit each barn a lot,” he said. “You sprinkle feed on comfort boards which is also their ‘sleeping’ board those first few days. And you always have a water cup dripping so they know where the water is by day 2 or 3, especially if they’re nibbling on their dry ration. When you’ve got 130 young pigs in a pen some pigs soon find that water nipple and fills the cup.” He gets 700 isoweans each Tuesday and does a quick sort putting the smallest 100 into what he calls a “treat pen.” That same process happens again on Thursday which means a few more into the treat pen. The extra treat — usually an antibiotic shot or other treatment that Wubbena thinks will assist these lighter pigs. He doesn’t call them “tail enders,” preferring instead the lighter, smaller pigs. “I’m in that pen a lot. They come along OK. We have a shareholder that buys the smaller end of each group.” After 5 1/2 weeks the pigs will weigh 38 to 40 pounds and then they do some traveling.

make changes every time they move up to the next weight category. “Ventilation is a big part of our management system,” Wubbena said. “We started without pit fans but quickly found that wasn’t going to work with nursery pigs. Fresh, dry air is important.” Advantages to working at Riverdale are monthly business meetings with other Preferred Capital swine managers and the long-term working relationship with the nursery’s primary veterinarian, Paul Ruen. An experienced team, both Wubbena and Ruen can detect health issues and other problems early. “I’ve learned from David how to recognize subtle signs of stress and behavior changes that occur when the pig is slipping off the high-health track,” Ruen said, noting that Wubbena never becomes complacent, always views the pigs with fresh eyes and uses his experience to continually improved pig health. Wubbena and wife, Kimberly, live in Fairmont and have three children who have worked at the nursery while in high school. Wubbena received his award Jan. 16 at the Minnesota Pork Congress at the Minneapolis Convention Center. ❖

“Where Farm and Family Meet”
By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer With about 7,000 pork producers in Minnesota, earning the title of Minnesota Pork Board’s 2012 Swine Manager of the Year is definitely something to oink about. That’s exactly the new honor for David Wubbena, a central Iowa native who moved up to Martin County, Minn., about 25 years ago to manage a 300-sow farrow-to-feeder pig operation. A quartercentury ago that was a fairly large task, but time marches on. Today Wubbena manages Riverdale Inc., a 9,000-head nursery unit at Truman, Minn. “Our shareholders own a 3,000-sow farrowing unit plus this nursery site,” Wubbena said. “I receive all the pigs from the farrowing barns. We have 40foot x 120-foot hog barns with 12 pens per barn.” Pigs are in these barns only 5 1/2 weeks so pig traffic is practically constant; 1,400 pigs sent out each week and 1,400 pigs moved in each week. “Pigs come in at 12 pounds and go out at about 38 pounds,” Wubbena said. Every movement means a scrubdown of each barn. “We sell our pigs on Fridays and new pigs come in on Tuesday. So we’ve got about a two-day washdown period for each building. We sanitize using the ‘barn stormer’ system and I usually have two or three parttime helpers, all high school students. “A lot of great kids come through. I also have a couple college kids that come back on weekends to earn a few extra bucks. These younger students are good. They’re dependable and they appreciate having the opportunity.” He’s a hired employee himself, so he fully understands the importance of quality employees, especially in a system with such heavy, steady traffic of young pigs. He also has a keen appreciation for doing all the right things to keep a “black-ink” operation for shareholders and his own family. Wubbena is well aware of the financial squeeze in pork production these days, but he’s optimistic about the future of his job, and the swine industry in general. He knows the importance of export markets for pork. And he’s keenly aware of the health issues when ramping this many pigs on a five-week schedule. Major challenges include Pork Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome, and flu. “It’s not if you’re going to get it; it’s when you’re going to get it,” said Wubbena. “But we’re doing OK. With

Grain Outlook Livestock Angles Grain Angles USDA expects February not kind Like shooting fish exports to fall hard to livestock in a barrel A number of years ago while I was a floor broker on the Kansas City Board of Trade, we would have morning meetings around the “squawk box.” This speaker device connected to a telephone to broadcast calls coming from our research department in Chicago. Every morning at the appointed hour, we would dial in and gather around the box to hear the latest news and thoughts about the markets. One legendary trader and owner of the clearing firm would present his ideas for trades and give his rationale behind his suggestions. When he would get really passionate about a particuTOM NEHER lar trade idea he was known to AgStar VP & Team Leader proclaim, “It’s just like shooting — Grain Industry Rochester, Minn. fish in a barrel!” He used this expression when he thought his idea was a sure bet to win. Inevitably someone in the room would mutter under their breath, “When he says that, we should probably do just the opposite.” Those of us in the grain business truly can be a cynical group of people. This comes from years of being proven wrong and getting beat up by the markets. There is no business that I know of that is better at knocking one down flat on their face and challenging them to get back up and trying again. The markets can be cruel, brutal and unforgiving as they grind humility into one’s soul. Yet, this is the dynamic that drives the news, opinions and emotions into a price for a given market.

February has not been kind to livestock prices. Both the cattle and hog markets have seen price slides through the three quarters of the month. Winter storms and various rumors have plagued both markets, which boiled down to decreased demand for both beef and pork products. The cattle market has seen a major change in the basis over the past several weeks. The futures market has dropped enough to close the gap between cash and futures to appear as a more-normal basis at this time of the year. At the same time the cash market was in a slide also, JOE TEALE reflecting the weakness in Broker demand for beef products. This Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. weakness in demand has been an ongoing problem since last fall when the beef cutout on choice exceeded $190 per hundredweight. Several major winter storms have disrupted the logistics in marketing primarily to the East Coast region of the country. Rumors that several countries have threatened to ban the import of American beef because of the use of growth hormones in the feeding of cattle has also had an adverse effect on cattle prices. On Feb. 22 two reports were released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The monthly Cattle on Feed Report which stated that cattle on-feed in comparison to a year ago was 94 percent. Placed during January at 102 percent, and marketed during January at 106 percent.

The following analysis is for the week ending Feb. 22. CORN — Corn teeter-tottered lower this week, trading entirely within last week’s range. There was a news vacuum in corn with funds liquidating length, South American weather stagnant and anticipation of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Outlook figures dictating movement. The window for South American weather to have a dramatic impact on corn is slowly closing. The holidayshortened week’s theme was in general lower as we closed just off the lows of the week. The March corn contract settled down PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. 8 1/2 cents for the week at $6.90 St. Paul 1/4 and the December contract fell 10 1/4 cents to $5.52 3/4 per bushel. Weekly export sales were 14.2 million bushels for old crop and 700,000 bushels for new crop. Sad to say this was the third best total of the marketing year. Total sales commitments continue to run 53 percent behind last year when the USDA is projecting exports to fall 41.7 percent year-on-year. Weekly ethanol production improved this week by 8,000 barrels per day to 797,000 barrels per day on improving margins. We are on pace to achieve the USDA 4.5 billion bushels for ethanol use. Balance sheets for the 2013-14 crop year were released at the USDA February Outlook Conference this week. They are expecting corn acres to decline 700,000 acres from last year to 96.5 million. They

China welcomes their new year in the buying mood NYSTROM, from pg. 25A used a trendline yield of 163.6 bushels per acre to forecast a crop of 14.53 billion bushels. This is an increase in yield of 40.2 bu./acre from last year’s drought-stricken crop. Production compares to last year’s 10.78 billion crop, an increase of 3.75 billion bushels. The first thing that caught everyone’s eye was ethanol usage. They are predicting usage to be up 175 million bushels to 4.675 billion bushels. Ending stocks of 2.177 billion would be up from this year’s 632 million bushels. The second item of note was the average farm price projection of only $4.80 versus this year’s range of $6.75 to $7.65 per bushel. Keep in mind last year we were expecting a big crop at this time, only to have Mother Nature prove how powerful she is. OUTLOOK: If March corn continues the downtrend, next support is $6.78, the December low. On the upside, the $7.03 1/4 to $7.04 area remains as resistance. Both old and new crop corn struggled this week without decidedly bullish news on its own. Corn needs some export demand to get anyone excited, but with non-existent farmer sales and ethanol production creeping up, the downside should be limited in the short run. Snow in the Great Plains has taken the edge off drought talk and new crop has suffered. What are your plans for this fall’s crop? SOYBEANS — Soybeans took a break from four consecutive higher closes to crash in pre-weekend trading as profit taking engulfed the market. The March soybeans sliced through the December high/resistance of $15.01 1/4, but crumbled when they were unable to uncover additional buying, hitting sell stops on the way down. The high in March beans for the week was $15.16 1/2, the highest level since October. Weekly exports were a surprise when they showed a second week of net cancellations for old crop. This week’s sales were a net negative 4.4 million bushels, dropping total commitments to only 20 percent ahead of last year. The USDA is forecasting exports to fall 1.25 percent year-on-year.
already anticipating a number north of 200 million bushels. The average farm price for 2013-14 was pegged at $10.50 per bushel versus $14.30 per bushel this year.
TEALE, from pg. 25A The USDA also released a Cold Storage Report that indicated beef stocks in storage was 3 million pounds greater than expected. The reports were seen as neutral to friendly since the number of cattle onfeed continue to shrink. With the cattle market oversold and numbers of animals tightening, it is likely that a recovery is in order. However if demand does not pick up as we approach spring, the rally could be somewhat limited. Producers are recommended to keep aware of market conditions and protect inventories when necessary. The hog market has also suffered in recent weeks as demand has slipped away after a decent recovery. The winter storms that hit the East Coast are partly to blame as well as the higher prices for pork at the retail level. With the new taxes implemented as of Jan. 1 and
higher energy costs, disposable income to the average American family has been shrinking. This has become a real threat to higher food costs and will likely continue to hamper growing domestic demand for all meat including pork. There is some good news in the USDA Cold Storage Report, pork stocks came in lower than expected by 2.7 million pounds. This would reflect the better value in pork in comparison to other meats. The problem being, however, is that the pork cutout has been dropping and forcing the packers to be more selective in the procurement of live inventory. At the same time pork product movement has considerably slowed, putting more pressure on prices. With packer margins being squeezed, it will be hard for prices to manage more than short-term rallies until demand once again resurfaces for pork products. Therefore, producers should keep current with marketing and stay aware of the market and protect inventories when needed. ❖
OUTLOOK: March beans were able to hang onto a 36 3/4-cent gain for the week to close at $14.61 1/4 per bushel. Technically, March soybeans posted a key reversal lower to end the week, making it susceptible to further losses. There is a gap from $14.28 to $14.32 1/4 leftover after the President’s Day holiday that may act as first support. The $15 area will remain as resistance since we couldn’t close above it. November soybeans were 3 1/4 cents higher for the week at $12.65 per bushel.

China reemerged from their Lunar New Year holiday with their buying shoes on. They purchased 180,000 metric tons of old crop beans this week along with 350,000 mt for new crop. Unknown (thought to be China) bought 75,000 mt of old crop and 55,000 mt of new crop also. In Brazil, workers at the port of Santos staged a six-hour strike on Feb. 22. They were promising another strike for Feb. 26, but it was suspended when talks with the government were reportedly making progress. This is a developing issue since the wait time for a vessel to load is already 40-plus days. A crop of 3.405 billion bushels for 2013-14 (up 13 percent) is expected by the USDA using 77.5 million acres (up 300,000 from last year) and 44.5 bu./acre versus 39.6 bu./acre last year.

ing all those inflating assets, like your ever-more-valuable grain inventory.” We all know that grain farming certainly has its fair share of challenges and the markets can give us sleepless nights. Yet, we must remain grounded using solid management practices of building a war chest of working capital, building equity, improving our record keeping, managing our margins and risks. These management practices will be the keys to a bright future in grain farming. On a cold night last week my cell phone rang while I was watching a basketball game on television and it was my good friend who farms near Blue Earth, Minn. We were talking about the grain markets and what we thought might happen, when he made a comment that caught me by surprise. He said, “I have to make sure to capture our margins because we just traded our mini-van in for an Escalade today. If we have to go back to driving a mini-van, it will really be hard.” My friend was remembering that grain angles must be kept sharp to stay effective. ❖

through August and raised the CWT’s 2013 exports to 22.613 million pounds of cheese, 11.916 million pounds of butter and 88,185 pounds of whole milk powder to 24 countries. The CWT said the sales are the equivalent of 468.5 million pounds of milk on a milkfat basis, the annual production of 22,300 cows. ■ Cash butter lost a penny and a half, closing Friday at $1.59, 17.25 cents above a year ago. Five cars were sold on the week. AMS butter averaged $1.5606, up 4.2 cents. AMS nonfat dry milk averaged $1.5577, down 1.5 cents, and dry whey averaged 63.42 cents, down 1.2 cents. Butter production is strong across all regions, the DMN reported. Ample cream is reported in the West and Central regions, with increased cream available in the Northeast following winter storm Nemo. Most manufacturers are building inventory, according to the USDA. ■ Exports of butter and milkfat for January-to-December 2012 totaled 107.2 million pounds, down 24 percent from 2011. Butter and milkfat exports accounted for 5.8 percent of U.S. butter production for the year. The Foreign Ag Service adds that quota imports of butter for January 2013 totaled just under 1 million pounds, See MIELKE, pg. 28A

■ The cash dairy markets slipped in the President’s Day holiday-shortened week despite the lower-than-expected milk production data. Block cheese reversed two weeks of gain and closed Friday at $1.6275 per pound, down 4.75 cents on the week but 16 cents above a year ago. Barrel closed at $1.63, unchanged on the week and 16 cents above a year ago. Demand for barrel appears to be increasing seasonally, as the barbecue grills start to come out again. Three carloads of block and none of barrel traded hands on the week. The Agricultural Marketing Service-surveyed U.S. average block price fell to $1.6582, down 2 cents, and the barrels averaged $1.5902, down 1.7 cents. Some increased milk supplies are available for manufacturing and cheese plants are taking some of that volume, according to the USDA’s Dairy Market News. Cheese inventories at manufacturers are described as manageable with export sales helping to balance sales. January Cold Storage data was issued after our deadline on Feb. 22. ■ Cooperatives Working Together accepted 16 requests for export assistance this week to sell 1.631 million pounds of butter and 956,806 pounds of cheese to customers in Asia, the Middle East and North Africa.

Milk output in Arizona is steady. Milk production in the Pacific Northwest remains on a mostly steady keel and following expected amounts with no handling problems reported. Utah and Idaho temperatures moderated and there was a small increase in production as cows responded to more-favorable weather. Weather throughout the Central region has been conducive to cow comfort this winter. Drought conditions are easing somewhat due to snowfall and rain received in late-January and early February. Some plant operators indicate their intake volumes started a slow decline during that time. Other processors note their intakes continue growing on a weekly basis. Milk haulers are reporting more milk per load is arriving at processing plants than in January. Manufacturing milk supplies marginally increased in the Mid-Atlantic as milk was diverted from New England and the Northeast, according to the DMN. Cream supplies remain heavy in the East, due to volumes from Class I plants and yogurt manufacturers. A major winter storm in the Northeast resulted in trucks being unable to make it to farms, which caused some milk to be dumped. New Zealand milk output continues to drop, according to the DMN, and is beginning to move below a year ago. Expectations are that this will continue for the remainder of the season. Australian output is also trending lower with the latest stats for December down 1.3 percent versus a year earlier. ■ Back home, the USDA announced the March federal order Class I base milk price at $17.80 per hundredweight, down 41 cents from February but $1.50 above March 2012, and equates to about $1.53 per gallon. That put the 2013 Class I average at $18.33, up from $17.38 at this time a year ago and compares to $16.44 in 2011. The March Class IV advanced pricing factor became the “higher of” in driving the Class I value. The University of Wisconsin’s Brian Gould projects a March Milk Income Loss Contract payment of 38.41 cents/cwt., as of Feb. 22. Gould’s 2013 projections are: January, 11.41 cents; February, 32.41 cents; March, 38.41 cents; April, 36.16 cents; May, 19.12 cents; June, 17.88 cents, and July, 2.36 cents. The AMS surveyed butter price aver-
aged $1.5393/lb., up 1.1 cent from February. Nonfat dry milk averaged $1.5644, up fractionally. Cheese averaged $1.6480, down 10.6 cents, and dry whey averaged 63.99 cents, down 1.4 cents. ■ Looking “back to the futures,” first half 2013 Class III contracts portended a $17.98 average on Jan. 18; $17.60 on Jan. 25; $17.69 on Feb. 1; $17.82 on Feb. 8; $17.61 on Feb. 15, and was trading around $17.55 late-morning Feb. 22, including the announced January Class III price. ■ DairyBusiness Update reminds dairy farmers to establish their 2013 MILC program payment “start month” and warned that the “relief period” for producers with annual production above the payment cap of 2.985 million pounds and wish to change their “start month” is Feb. 28. ■ The Food and Drug Administration released its annual National Milk Drug Residue Database results for fiscal year 2012, and consumers can be assured the dairy products they buy are safe, according to DairyBusiness Update’s Dave Natzke in Friday’s DairyLine broadcast. Every year, the FDA analyzes results of animal drug residue tests in milk at several steps within the supply chain, Natzke reported, starting at the farm, and including samples from trucks delivering milk to processing plants, and in pasteurized, finished dairy products. Of the nearly 3.8 million milk samples tested for animal drug residues last year, only 828, or fewer than 20 thousandths of 1 percent, tested positive for drug residues anywhere in the supply chain, he said. Probably especially important to dairy consumers, the FDA found no positive animal drug residue tests in pasteurized dairy products. “These results provide assurances dairy farmers and veterinarians are using animal medicines properly and following label directions, and that testing procedures are catching any drug residues before they reach the consumer,” Natzke said.

Don’t take your pets’ health for granted; get vaccinations system with exposure to enough disease-causing organisms.” Additionally, adverse reactions can occur from vaccinations. These reactions are most likely to occur the second time an animal receives a vaccine. They usually occur within a few minutes to six hours of vaccination. “There are two types of reactions commonly seen, anaphylactic and delayed hypersensitivity,” Stickney said. “Delayed hypersensitivity reactions are more common and less serious. The pet becomes itchy and the face and ears swell. These reactions can usually be treated with antihistamines. “Anaphylactic reactions are less common, and are serious and life-threatening. The animal collapses and goes into shock. Epinephrine and intravenous fluids are necessary to treat the animal.” If your pet ever had an allergic reaction to a vaccine, it is important to let your veterinarian know. Even pets that are allergic to a specific vaccine typically have no problems if they are treated with antihistamines before vaccinations. Remember, vaccines are health products that signal protective immune responses in your pet. Your veterinarian can best guide you in the use and scheduling of vaccinations for your pet.

of age. Vaccination schedules vary depending on the area of the country you are in and the prevalence of different diseases in that area,” Stickney said. Puppies should be vaccinated for distemper virus, adenovirus, parvovirus and parainfluenza, while kittens should be vaccinated for viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus and panleukopenia. Other vaccinations may also be recommended depending on the lifestyle of your pet. “Booster shots are necessary in puppies and kittens to overcome ‘maternal immunity’, where the antibodies that the puppies and kittens acquired from their mother provide some protection but eventually break down,” Stickney said. “Vaccines are ineffective in the face of maternal immunity; therefore the puppy and kitten vaccine series is necessary to protect the pet during the time when the maternal immunity disappears. Booster shots remind the immune system of diseases it is supposed to protect against.” The frequency at which adult animals should receive booster vaccines has been a topic of debate among veterinarians for years. Increasingly, we have evidence that most vaccines do not need to be boosted every year and that the risk of an animal catching certain diseases decreases with age. Your veterinarian will be able to tailor a vaccine protocol to the specific lifestyle of your pet. “No vaccine is 100-percent effective,” Stickney said, “It is possible to overwhelm any vaccine and immune

Even though they may be taken for granted, vaccinations are vital for your pet’s health. Properly vaccinating your pet is an important part of pet care because vaccines can potentially help protect your pet against some serious health conditions and diseases. “Vaccines are a suspension of altered microorganisms which will prevent, lessen or treat disease without causing the disease,” said Mark Stickney, clinical associate professor at the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences. Vaccines are considered the cornerstone of preventive medicine. Knowing the different types of vaccinations and how they work can help pet owners provide the best care for their animals. “There are live, killed, modified live and recombinant vaccinations,” Stickney said. “By exposing the immune system to bacteria or viruses that are genetically similar to the ones that will cause disease, the immune system will develop antibodies that protect the body when it encounters the actual disease-causing organism.” “Some pet vaccines can be purchased over-thecounter and given by non-veterinarians,” Stickney said. However, there may be quality control issues with vaccines if you are not familiar with the correct way to store and use them. “By law, certain vaccines, like the rabies vaccine, can only be given by your veterinarian,” Stickney said. “Your veterinarian is also the best person to determine which vaccines your pet needs and how frequently they should be administered.” “All puppies and kittens should receive the rabies vaccine at three months of age and again at one year

sauce, and tossed out the old ones. Soon I started looking at dates on the spices I was using. I wasn’t concerned about the spices going bad but that over time their flavor would deteriorate. I decided it was time I get rid of some of the old ones (like the ground ginger I’m sure I moved with us to our current house almost four years ago) and purchase new ones. Deciding what needs to go and what is still OK to

eat can be confusing when it comes to certain foods like spices and canned foods. And the different dates printed on food containers don’t help much. Some say “sell by” others say “best if used by.” So if I buy or use the food after these dates, is it a food safety concern or will the food just not be as fresh? The U. S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service does a good job explaining the dating on food containers. Something I learned while reading through this information is that, except for infant formula, product dating is not generally required by federal regulations. Some states have requirements, while others have none. However, even though it isn’t required everywhere, many food manufacturers do put dates on their products. Below is what some of the dates mean. • A “Sell-By” date tells the store how long to display the product for sale. You should buy the product before the date expires. • A “Best if Used By (or Before)” date is recommended for best flavor or quality. It is not a purchase or safety date. • A “Use-By” date is the last date recommended for the use of the product while at peak quality. The date has been determined by the manufacturer of the product. • “Closed or coded dates” are packing numbers for use by the manufacturer. These codes are used more for food quality, not food safety. As far as safety is concerned, perishable foods like meat, poultry, dairy and eggs are the most vulnerable. We recommend you eat food by the “use-by date.” Before I taught my husband, he thought you could use the “smell test” to tell if something was safe to eat. However, you can’t see, smell or taste bacteria that cause foodborne illnesses. If you aren’t going to be able to use a food before the “use-by” date, freeze it. For eggs, always purchase them before the “sell-by” date on the carton. When you get home, refrigerate the eggs in the coldest part of the refrigerator (on a shelf toward the back), in the original container. Use

smoke. That’s to be expected. Allow the steaks to sit for five to 10 minutes before cutting into them, otherwise the juices will run out. Now, here’s a step that premium steakhouses take for the ultimate steak. Place a dab of real butter on top each steak and allow it to melt. This provides the great tongue feel and richness. Serve with a classic baked potato and creamed spinach. It’s sure to brighten up your March. BBQMyWay is written by Dave Lobeck, a barbecue chef from Sellersburg, Ind.

EXPIRED, from pg. 30A the eggs within three to five weeks of when you purchased them. So what about canned goods and other non-perishable items? High-acid foods such as tomatoes will have the best quality if used within 12 to 18 months. Low-acid foods such as meat, fish or vegetables will retain the best quality if used within two to five years. This is if the can remains in good condition and is stored in a cool, clean, dry place. Use the FIFO method to be sure to use up the oldest cans first. FIFO stands for first in, first out. So when putting away groceries, place the recently purchased items behind the existing food. Homecanned foods should be used within one year for best quality. As far as ground spices and herbs, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics says they keep for about one year.

two of olive oil. Place the steaks in the skillet. Hear that sizzle? Life is good. Allow to sit in the skillet untouched for three minutes. Turn the steaks and let them cook for another three minutes. There should be a dark, rich color and crust. Now, if you didn’t get the steaks cut nice and thick, you are probably done, and I am frankly a bit disappointed that you didn’t follow directions properly. You now have a nice steak, but not five-star. Leaving the steaks in the skillet, transfer them to the oven. We let them cook for an additional six to seven minutes.

great steak indoors, go to www.YouTube.com/BBQMyWay. In the “search videos” box, type in “steak.” Let’s get to cooking. First step is to call your butcher. The best cut (in my opinion) is the bone-in ribeye. Have him or her cut your steak to a thickness of 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches. You can also use a strip steak, which tends to be a little leaner. If you decide on a strip, make sure it has nice marbling throughout. Allow the streaks to come to room temperature, which will take at least an hour. This step is important for steaks of this size. Rub both sides with olive oil, and then liberally sprinkle both sides with kosher or sea salt. Don’t skimp on the salt. These are big steaks. Do not use normal table salt as it will not create that crust, and will be bitter. You will also want to pepper both sides with coarse, freshly cracked black pepper. Preheat the oven at 500 degrees Fahrenheit, preferably on the “custom broil” setting. Place a cast iron skillet on your stove at high heat. And yes, cast iron does make a difference. Teflon creates a texture that in my opinion doesn’t come close to restaurant quality. Once you see a little smoke rising from the skillet, add a tablespoon or

It’s March, and the ground hog was wrong this year. Speaking for those of us in the Midwest, we still have our share of wintery weather ahead of us. I love grilled steak on occasion, and the outdoor, smoky flavor that is infused from the fire. But, today’s style results in a pure beef flavor, which some people prefer. It’s a toss up for me. So, let’s talk about how to prepare and cook a steak indoors that will rival any steak you would experience at five-star steak houses, with the following three disclaimers. • Five-star steakhouses buy up all of the “prime” beef, therefore you will not find any at your local butcher or supermarket. “Prime” accounts for roughly 2 percent to 3 percent of all beef in the United States, and is perfectly marbled for rich, delicious flavor. • Most five-star steakhouses “dry age” their beef. This is a process where the beef is allowed to age for a period of time, which intensifies the beefy flavor. Believe it or not, you can do this at home, but we won’t get into that today. Google it if you want to give it a shot. • This preparation style is something to be done on rare occasions due to it’s richness. If you want to see a video I made recently on the topic of creating a

Recipes from the best farm cooking blogs on the web
Coookbook Corner
By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent In 2013 one of a cook’s best tools is not in the knife rack or in a kitchen drawer. It’s on your computer — the internet. Cooking sites have proliferated in this medium, much to my delight, but the key to navigating the chaos is to find a few sites that you enjoy and trust. You’ll find yourself coming back to them again and again whether to browse for recipes, read an article or watch a how-to video. Some sites and blogs are pretty nuts-and-bolts, but the best offer you glimpses into the lives of people far away. They have personality. And some of them celebrate farm life as well as culinary pleasures. Here are five that I’ve personally bookmarked. ■ The Old Farmer’s Almanac website’s recipe section — www.almanac.com/cooking — is tucked between the Best Planting Dates by the Moon Calendar and the Raising Chickens Blog. I love this site because even if I don’t personally need to know about tides or beekeeping, it’s nice to know there are still people who do. This Tortellini and Sausage Stew promises a potful of deliciousness. Chuckie’s Tortellini and Sausage Stew 1 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage (turkey sausage may be used) 1 cup chopped onion 4 garlic cloves, minced
with the broth, water, wine, tomatoes, tomato sauce, carrots, oregano and basil. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Skim off any fat that rises to the top of the pot. Stir in the zucchini, green pepper, tortellini and parsley. Simmer, covered, for 45 minutes or until the pasta and vegetables are tender. Yield: 6 to 8 servings ■ The quirky Chickens in the Road website 10 cups beef broth or stock — http://chickensintheroad.com/farm-bell-recipes — 1/2 cup water rises from Sassafras Farm in West Virginia by a big1 cup dry red wine hearted woman who lo-o-oves to cook and make soap 2 cans (28 ounces each) peeled tomatoes, chopped and live simply. Suzanne McMinn shares the glorious, 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce frustrating, exhilarating, tedious and tragic experi1 cup thinly sliced carrots ences she has with her livestock, gardens, renovated 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano farmhouse and kitchen. Her Bacon and Cheddar Egg 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil Salad goes perfectly with sliced tomato and crispy let2 small zucchini, sliced tuce on some hearty bread. 1 green bell pepper, chopped Bacon and Cheddar Egg Salad 2 cups dry tortellini pasta 12 eggs 3 tablespoons dried parsley 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon mayonnaise Remove the casings from the sausage and cut into 1 teaspoon sour cream bite-size pieces. Brown the sausage in a large 1 1/2 teaspoons dijon mustard saucepan or nonreactive Dutch oven. Remove the 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside. Drain off 1/4 teaspoon black pepper all but 1 tablespoon of the fat. 1/3 cup crispy bacon, chopped Add the onion and garlic to the saucepan and saute 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded 2 tablespoons green onion, chopped over medium-low heat until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Return the sausage to the pot along Hard-cook the eggs. Meanwhile, fry up some bacon. After eggs are cooled, peel and slice in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks to a bowl and finely chop the white halves. Mash the yolks with a fork. Add the rest of the ingredients along with the chopped-up white halves to the yolks. Mix together well. Refrigerate until ready to serve. ■ At The Farm Girl website — http://thefarmgirlrecipes.blogspot.com — you get the wit and wisdom of an Idaho farmer’s daughter as well as access to her decadent desserts and other tasty dishes.

Heat the oven to 400 F. Combine 2 1/2 cups of the flour, the baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the cheeses and toss gently with a fork until combined. Add the scallions and toss gently with a fork until combined. Beat the milk (or half and half) with the egg and gently it fold into the dry ingredients, mixing lightly until a soft dough forms. Add up to 1/2 cup additional flour if the dough is too sticky. On a floured surface, gently pat the dough into a circle approximately 1 inch thick (or into two smaller circles for 12 scones). The key to tender scones is to handle the dough as little as possible and with a light touch. With a sharp knife (I use a large serrated knife dipped in flour), cut the circle(s) into eight or 12 wedges and place them on a heavy-duty baking sheet lined with unbleached parchment paper. Brush the tops and sides of the scones with the egg glaze if desired, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.

when I’m loaded down with more, so much more, than what I need. In humility, he spoke of his missions’ work and his shock when he was sought out and chosen as a $1 million recipient of the Opus Prize, an annual faith-based humanitarian award. It’s gifted to unsung heroes — either an individual or an organization — whose untiring entrepreneurial spirit and steadfast faith are fixed on solving relentless, large-scale social problems. At my insistence, he shared all the people and places that he blessed with his award. He finished, very matter of fact, by saying, “The money’s gone now.” No wonder he’s hoping they don’t charge for the tea, I thought. “But that’s not my biggest problem,” he added. Seriously? I mused. You’re expanding your outreach to more countries and money isn’t your most significant obstacle? “What’s your biggest problem?” I asked aloud. “It’s passing on the fire to the next generation,” he said. By his looks, he’s nearing retirement, but without asking I was fairly confident the word retirement wasn’t part of his vocabulary no matter which language he’s speaking. And, as I let his words sink into my heart, I knew he was right.
Although our work is continents apart, we share the same mission: to pass on Micah 6:8 living to the next generation: And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly, to love mercy (“to love one another tenderly” as Stan translated it), and to walk humbly with your God. For Stan encouraging the next generation to pursue a life of love and service takes place among orphans, the elderly and disabled people in Africa and beyond. For teachers and coaches it’s passed on in schools, gyms and community centers. For children and youth ministry volunteers it takes place in churches, at camp and on the streets. For parents and grandparents it happens at home around the kitchen table, on Kubota rides through the fields and story times at bedtime. By the end of our four-hour flight, we had exchanged God’s blessings and contact information. He handed me his e-mail jotted on the napkin he received with his tea; I gave him a business card and felt foolish for my extravagance. My pity party had been crashed. My perspective was righted. How dare I think I’ve been stripped of what I need when God and His provisions are always more than enough?

‘Alzheimer’s Caregiver’ good book you hope you never need With extreme sensitivity, the authors offer comfort and direction for caregivers who want to avoid being overwhelmed by their situations.
With extreme sensitivity, the authors offer comfort and direction for caregivers who want to avoid being overwhelmed by their situations. This book touches on a lot of aspects on both sides: there’s personal and practical info for caregivers, as well as insight on how the patient might be feeling. I liked the individual stories included here, and the authors’ advice seems sound — even when the advice is to ask a professional. Overall, this is one of those books you hope you’ll never need, but you’ll be glad you’ve got it if you do. For Boomers, elders and caregivers now and in the (possible) future, “Dr. Ruth’s Guide for the Alzheimer’s Caregiver” sheds a lot of light. Look for the reviewed book at a bookstore or a library near you. You may also find the book at online book retailers. The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terri has been reading since she was 3 years old and never goes anywhere without a book. She lives in Wisconsin with three dogs and 10,000 books. ❖

Propagating plants can be fun, satisfying activity Part of the fun of gardening is in starting your own plants. Horticulturists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach discuss plant propagation methods best suited for several common yard and garden plants. How can I propagate a grapevine? While grapevines can be propagated by several methods, they are most commonly propagated by hardwood
cuttings. Hardwood cuttings are made from the dormant canes of the preceding year’s growth. Cutting material should be collected in late-winter. Home gardeners pruning their grapevines in late-February or March can make cuttings from the pruned material. Grape cuttings should be approximately pencil-size in thickness and 12 inches long. When making the cuttings, the bottom cut should be just below the lowest bud while the upper

cut should be 1 to 2 inches above the top bud. After making the cuttings, loosely tie them in a bundle. Place the cuttings in a plastic bag with some lightly moistened peat moss, then store in a cool location, such as a refrigerator or garage. As soon as the soil is workable in spring, remove the grape cuttings from cold storage. Set the cuttings in the ground vertically with Willow bud only the top bud just above the soil surface. How can I propagate a willow? Willows (Salix species) are easily propagated by hardwood cuttings. On a mild winter day in late-February or early March (temperatures should be above freezing), go out and collect cutting material. Prune off branches that are about 1/2-inch in diameter. Bring the branches indoors and cut the branches into 12- to 18inch sections. Bundle the 12- to 18inch-long cuttings together with string, twine or rubber bands. Place the bundled cuttings in a plastic bag that contains some lightly moistened peat moss. Place the plastic bag in the refrigerator. In early April, remove the cuttings from the refrigerator and stick the cuttings into the ground. Place the bottom 6 to 8 inches of the cuttings in the soil. Willow cuttings root quite easily. The cuttings should begin to root and leaf out within a few weeks. An alternate rooting method is to place the cuttings in a container of water indoors. Change the water frequently. When the cuttings have developed good root systems, remove them from the water and plant outdoors. How can I propagate a forsythia? The forsythia can be propagated from hardwood and softwood cuttings. Hardwood cuttings should be made in late-February or early March from the dormant growth of the previous year. Cutting material should be taken from healthy, vigorous stems. After removing the stems, cut them into 6- to 8inch-long sections. Tie the cuttings in a bundle, put the bundled cuttings in a plastic bag filled with moist peat moss, and then place the cuttings in the refrigerator. In mid-April, remove the cuttings from the refrigerator and stick the cuttings in a pot or flat containing a com-
mercial potting mix. Insert the bottom 2 to 3 inches of the cuttings into the mix. After all the cuttings are inserted, water the potting mix and place the pot or flat outdoors in a partially shaded, protected location. Keep the potting mix moist through the rooting period. The cuttings should root and leaf out in a few weeks. Allow the cuttings to develop good root systems before transplanting them to individual pots. Softwood cuttings should be made from the current season’s growth in late-June or early July. Use a sharp knife to cut off 4 to 6 inch long shoots. Pinch off the leaves on the lower half of the cutting. Dip the base (cut end) of the cuttings in a root-promoting compound. Root the cuttings in a large pot or flat containing coarse sand or perlite. Insert the bottom 2 inches of the cuttings into the rooting medium and firm the material around the base of each cutting. After all the cuttings are inserted, water the medium and let it drain. Cover the container and cuttings with a clear plastic bag or dome to reduce water loss. Then place the cuttings in bright light, but not direct sunlight. Forsythia cuttings should root in six to eight weeks. When the cuttings have well-developed root systems, remove them from the rooting medium and transplant into individual pots using a well-drained potting mix.

How John Reynolds lost his springer spaniel, Penni, on Dec. 17, 2011, is rife with irony. Accompanied by his hunting partner, the Brainerd, Minn., resident had been setting a few traps to catch foxes. “I scouted the area for any signs of other trappers and didn’t see anything,” he said. “I THE OUTDOORS was making artificial sets for By John Cross fox along a lake.” While he placed the foothold traps, Penni trotted off to explore. When he was ready to leave and unable to locate his dog, he began to search. He found her dead, 100 yards away. “She was in a body-gripping trap about 50 feet away from the truck,” he said. Somehow he had failed to notice the cubby box — an enclosure that housed bait and the deadly trap — in his initial search. Because of the construction of the box, the dog was able to get her head in far enough to trip the device, which snapped around her head and crushed her windpipe. Ironic perhaps, but one that also lends a measure of credibility to Reynold’s position that he’s not against trapping. “I am not anti-trapping at all,” he said. “I’ve been a John Cross/Mankato Free Press trapper on-and-off since 1966.” Dog Lovers 4 Safe Trapping MN has a goal of making the countryside safer for their canine hunting partners Reynolds now is president of Dog Lovers 4 Safe by calling for more restrictions on the use of body-gripping traps.

Trapping bills introduced in Minnesota House, Senate TRAPPING, from pg. 37A Trapping MN, a non-profit group formed last May in response to reports of growing numbers of dogs being killed in bodygripping traps and the lack of action by lawmakers to restrict their use. In less than a year, membership of the group has swelled to more than 3,000. Their goal is to get legislators to pass laws restricting the use of certain body-gripping traps and to prevent the accidental deaths of dogs caught in them. Of specific concern, the group wants the minimum height of so-called polesets increased to five feet, banning the use of all but the smallest body-gripping traps when used as ground sets and restrictions on how and where cubbies — a type of containment system for traps and bait — are used. Legislation spelling out more restrictive regulations for the devices were introduced last session but failed to

High art
This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondents Tim King (story) and Jan King (photo)
very school day, high school stuE dents in Sebeka, Minn., have the opportunity to appreciate fine
art. That is because, in 1938, Sebeka’s service clubs purchased 500 gallons of paint and gave it to artist Richard Haines. Then Haines set about creating an eight and a half foot tall by 72-foot long mural in the school. It’s still there. Seventy-five years after Haines completed his commission, students, faculty and members of the public can enjoy the vast painting. The Sebeka mural is one of the largest Great Depression era Works Progress Administration murals in Minnesota. It is particularly unusual because it is in a school. Most WPA murals were painted in post offices. Haines was an Iowa farm boy who went to art school in Minneapolis. He then worked for the St. Paul printer Brown and Bigelow. The company was a patron of calendar artists such as Norman Rockwell. Eventually, Haines joined the Depression’s legions of unemployed. Haines’ Sebeka mural shows that he was on the cutting edge of an art form then being led by Mexican muralists David Alfaro Siqueiros and Diego Rivera. His huge painting, like those of the Mexican artists, is full of energy, life and violence. As a portrayal of Minnesota history it begins with two somewhat primitive Native Americans that seem to be stalking prey and, at the same time, are being stalked by a bear-like beast. This panel sets the tone for the entire mural. All the humans are muscular and ener-
getic. There is a potential for violence in both the humans and their environment. The human and animal subjects seem barely contained by the paint and the two-dimensional wall. They are alive, in action and potentially explosive. The power and violence in Haines’ work is starkly evident in a struggle between a soldier and an Indian warrior. The soldier, on a rearing white stallion, smashes a rock-like fist to the warrior’s chin while he grapples for the soldier’s pistol. In another scene, brawny loggers and horses battle with projectile-like logs careening down a river. It seems they are almost in a losing conflict and that soon the logs will crash off the wall and crush the viewers. Even Haines’ priest is in action. A small-town high school seems like an unlikely location for an American art treasure. But that’s what Haines’ mural is. You should see it. It should be preserved. ❖

Strongest Roof Anyone can claim they have the strongest roof, and many do make that claim. These details go into the Superior Roof to truly make it the strongest farm bin roof on the market. • • • • • • – • •
3 1/2” Rigidized Roof Rib 8000 lb. roof load 37 lbs./sq. ft. snow load Enhanced wind ring Continuous eave angle connection Peak Ring/Apron/Triangle Other Features Include: Punched Manhole Punched Roof Vent Opening
Only Superior offers a full 3 1/2” deep rigidized roof rib. Competitors offer 2 5/8” - 3” roof ribs. A full 24 breaks adds 24 ridges to an overlapped roof rib. Even our competition admits that our roof is the strongest in the industry.
The flat portion of the Superior roof panel is corrugated and has a formed drip edge at the eave. These features stiffen the panel and enhance wind and snow loads
The manhole has continuous raised sides which do not allow rain to enter. Bolted risers used by other manufacturers are not as weather tight. A bulb gasket completes the seal on a Superior bin.
Wind ring tie the roof ribs together and force the roof to act as a single dynamic structure. This can only be accomplished if the individual pipe pieces are locked together with a clamp and then secured at every rib with a locking bracket.
Our pre-punched vent openings are raised to help ensure a water tight seal. Only Superior offers a 20”x20” roof vent. Superior roof vent openings use a generous 3” radius to reduce corner stress. The sidewall to roof connection is accomplished by this continuous eave angle. It evenly spreads the roof load to the sidewall. The “push up” bird clip minimizes parts and labor.

Winter Discounts Superior 11” U-Trough Powersweep
Unloading your bin has never been easier, faster or safer! A permanently installed 11” U-Trough Powersweep with all controls outside the bin allows for an unload capacity up to 6,000 bushels per hour. Our system includes a 9” under bin auger inside an 11” UTrough, allowing the grain to carry en mass in unloading. It also includes a 7” sweep, rack & pinion gate controls, and galvanized finish for exceptional durability. An independent double length center gate ensures maximum unloading capacity. The next to center gate opens independently from the other intermediate gates, allowing unloading close to center in the event that the center sump becomes plugged. An aggressive sweep drive wheel propels itself even in tough conditions.
Gasket seals at the bin wall, exterior engaging clutch, rack and pinion gates, and quick over center cam lock belt tighteners make the Superior 11” U-Trough the unload of choice.
The grain shield at the hanger bearing minimizes clean up behind the 7” sweep. A gear reduction wheel drives the sweep.
DRIVE OVER HOPPER CAPACITY TO 7500 BPH
14” PORTABLE AUGER CAPACITY TO 11,000 BPH
