“Where Farm and Family Meet”

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent From out of the past comes a fiery red-head with the speed of light, a flash of black and white, and a hearty “rat-a-tat-tat.” The red-headed woodpecker.

I apologize for that dramatic outburst, but sighting a red-headed woodpecker as a farm boy was as exciting as it was to hear the Lone Ranger come on the radio years ago. It is even more exciting these days.

The excitement is intensified because it is such a rare occurrence. There has been a precipitous decline in the number of red-headed woodpeckers over the past 40 years. There are states in the eastern United States where the bird is listed as “threatened” and even “endangered.” In the Midwest, numbers have declined close to 50 percent during those 40 years.

These facts are among the information Red-headed Woodpecker Recovery has on its website, www.redheadrecovery.org.

Red-headed Woodpecker Recovery is a project of the Audubon Chapter of Minneapolis and was initiated by two members with a background in bluebird recovery. Jerry Bahls, who is now president of the Audubon Club, was the first coordinator, a position currently filled by Chet Meyers.

The loss of such a flashy bird would be sad, but the project is about more than saving a colorful creature.

“The loss of any species impacts on the health of the environment,” Meyers said in an e-mail interview. “We are just too ignorant to appreciate all the implications.”

But we aren’t ignorant of the causes behind the drop in numbers. It is loss of habitat. As the website explains, red-headed woodpeckers need a specific habitat — oak savanna with snags.

Oak savanna has mature trees with an open understory where red-headed woodpeckers can catch the beetles, grasshoppers and other insects of their diet. Snags are dead trees with large limbs to accommodate cavities for nesting.

The Audubon Club of Minneapolis is working with Minnesota Department of Natural Resources NonGame Division and the University of Minnesota’s Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve on Redheaded Woodpecker Recovery. Efforts at Cedar Creek have shown that if habitat is provided, the redheaded woodpecker will come. But even there the numbers fluctuate.

According to Mary Spivey, education coordinator at

INSIDE THIS ISSUE: Special feature, 6A-10A — Farm Stress: Agriculture is a dangerous industry, and some of that danger is psychological

Cedar Creek, spotters located 32 nests in their 2013 annual count, down from 50 nests last year.

Jim Howitz is a researcher in the red-headed woodpecker study at Cedar Creek, and shared his experience in e-mail correspondence. He told how by placing a feeding platform near a nest, they were able to trap and band 50 birds with a unique combination of colored bands so individual birds could be recognized, helpful since “males and females look just alike.” Males and females also share duties equally — excavating the nest, incubating eggs and feeding the babies.

“One of the dangers red-headed woodpeckers face is vehicle traffic,” Howitz said. “We found three woodpeckers killed by collisions with vehicles along the county road that adjoins the study area. One of the birds killed was a female who had babies in the nest.

Fighting over what’s COOL; shut up, butt out, get lost

OPINION

Well, says the multi-national Meat Gang, shut up, butt out and get lost.

Moreover, the NPPC and NCBA said the exact same thing to every American cattleman and hog farmer when the groups joined the lawsuit: We know what’s best for American cowboys and hog farmers, so just shut up, butt out and get lost.

Here’s a better suggestion: U.S. cattlemen and hog farmers should give the narrow-based, meatpackerallied NPPC and NCBA the heave-ho. COOL is a huge winner for U.S. farmers and ranchers; that’s why our competitors and packers hate it.

Besides, when did it become not COOL to be an American farmer and rancher?

encourage recovery. Red-headed Woodpecker Recovery has found nesting pairs on small abandoned farmsteads, so stopping their removal and maintaining other wooded spots is a first step. Other areas such as parks, cemeteries and golf courses can provide habitat — if they will tolerate some dead trees, which Meyers admits is not an easy sell.

If golfers and others sight a red-headed woodpecker occasionally, perhaps a few dead trees would not seem unsightly. As for the safety issue, the website advises how to trim trees so they are not so likely to blow down yet maintain the large branches in which the woodpeckers like to nest.

The loss of wildlife can be caused by human activity, so human activity can also aid its recovery. Redheaded Woodpecker Recovery needs the public’s participation to be successful From out of the past come memories of a striking red, white and black creature flashing through the air. The red-headed woodpecker flies again! With our help.

Several of the birds would come when they spotted the researchers, hoping for the treats they put on the feeding platforms.

“Some even follow us around, expecting a handout,” Howitz said. “The birds are a challenge but also a delight to work with.”

Real recovery, however, must go beyond the Reserve into the general countryside. What Redheaded Woodpecker Recovery looks for are clusters, defined as three nesting pairs within a quarter-mile radius. In the past, clusters have been recorded at golf courses, Camp Ripley and other private areas.

(There’s a location map at their website.)

Private landowners will play a big role in the bird’s recovery. Loss of habitat due to urban sprawl and intensive agriculture is the primary reason for the decline in numbers, Meyers said, though there may be other factors we don’t understand.

When farmers do well, businesses on Minnesota’s Main Streets do well; and our entire state economy grows stronger.

Second, farmers remain among Minnesota’s great heroes — for their willingness to plow through adversity, for their endurance of Mother Nature’s misfortunes, and for their faith and courage to do it all again next spring.

Farmers have been essential to our state’s past success, and they will be even more crucial in the future. That is why the triumph of American agriculture in today’s competitive, cut-throat world economy has been so extraordinary — and so important. Farmers’ costs-of-production continue to rise,

from wages, to machinery, to energy.

Yet, through their quality, innovation and plain hard work, they continue to outperform the rest of the world.

I’m pleased to say that strong support for Minnesota’s farmers is not a partisan issue at our state capitol. In the three legislative sessions since I became governor, agriculture bills and budgets have passed with overwhelming bipartisan support.

Last spring, we agreed to invest an additional $18.5 million in the Agricultural Growth, Research and Innovation Fund — a fund dedicated to keeping Minnesota farm production on the leading edge in an ever-changing world. Our investments will aid farmers in developing new methods of production, support research on the next generation of biofuels and help our schools to purchase more high-quality food from local farmers.

We also passed a first-in-the-nation voluntary Ag Water Quality Certification Program to partner with farmers to improve our state’s water resources.

Farmers are our first and foremost stewards of the land. Here in Minnesota, we are working together to keep our agricultural production the world’s best, while also protecting and enhancing our environment.

That kind of cooperation and innovation is the Minnesota way. It’s why our farmers are National Champions! ❖

Farmers have hard time recognizing own limitations

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Veteran farm therapist Ted Matthews has shared time with many farmers. He knows the quirks that often typify a farmer’s action.

When talking about the stresses of modern day farming he shared a most common observation. “Most farmers, especially during the planting and harvesting seasons, tend to overestimate their durability. They simply do need more sleep.”

Conversely, Matthews said, farmers who don’t need as much sleep think extra sleep is being lazy. They then push themselves harder and that is a setup for potential disaster.

So who’s most guilty of pushing the envelope and not knowing — or acknowledging — their own limitations? Matthews’ consulting experience with the Farm Business Management Program tells him that older farmers tend to push harder. Yet because of better equipment and much more technology he contends there isn’t the need to crank up like there used to be.

“Admittedly those old habits die hard,” he said.

Matthews said another social change going on in rural Minnesota is “Kids used to take over the farm when Dad got into his late-50s, early 60s. And that was basically because Dad’s body was wrecked by that age, especially if he was a dairy

farmer. But now thanks to technology both in farming and medicine, Dad can farm ’til he’s 85 if he wants to. A lot of them want to do just that and that conundrum is creating some social or transitional changes which is putting new stresses on both Dad and the family.”

What’s the impact of education in this era of agricultural stress?

Does the “better-educated” farmer push harder because he thinks he can, and should? Farm consultants hesitate to make a call on that issue, but Matthews suggested the value of sons going off to college before returning to the farm because “if they listen to their father, and father listens to them, between the two of them they can come up with some pretty good ideas.”

The readily identifiable problem in many farm family relationships, however, is that most young people today

-

don’t have the patience to listen, and many older folks tend to think the youngsters aren’t old enough to have opinions on these issues. “Both sides have some work to do in this area of mutual respect and understanding,” he said.

Will a farmer voluntarily bring up stress issues, whether that be mental, financial, even family and marital concerns? Not likely. But because Matthews functions as a “third party” in these disagreements he’s the unbiased listener with which a father or son can discuss issues in confidence.

“The father will listen to me even when I’m quoting to him directly the very comments of his son, and vice versa. That also relates to wives and daughters who often are now part of this total team partnership.”

the land chasing seems almost reckless and greedy, farmers have the biggest hearts,” Matthews said.

He’s still somewhat amazed at agriculture’s predictable transition of sons taking over the farming business from their fathers. Matthews noted this tradition rarely happens in most other businesses. Even though this transition is often a stress-inducing environment, it is the very process that continues the tradition of family farming in Minnesota and rural America.

“It is often easier to have a hired employee come to your farm for eight hours of daily labor than it is for father and son or father and daughter to comfortably work together because you have much higher expectations of your kids,” he said.

So when a farmer realizes he’s in a “critical situation” whatever the issue, what’s the next move? How does he access a Ted Matthews or anyone else who’s gifted in listening before suggesting advice?

Matthews said many, in fact most of his “counseling hookups,” happen because Minnesota farm business managers, or a rural banker or even a local Extension educator gets that farmer in touch with Matthews.

“The reality is that it’s easier for a farmer to look at his neighbor and say ‘He needs help’ than it is for a farmer to look at himself and say ‘I need help’,” Matthews said.

The other reality is that Matthews is indeed one of a kind. He is the Minnesota FBM program director of mental health, officed at the Morris office with

Ridgewater Community and Technical College. He’s been at this task since 1996 so probably can read the troubled minds of Minnesota farmers better than anyone. He prefers to be a ‘‘man on wheels” to visit farmers in their locale.

“I prefer a neutral location ... and that isn’t in the farmer’s office. Nor is it the local coffee shop where most farmers seem to know every other farmer. We need some distance from the farm itself so the farmer has to drive to meet me. That sort of puts us both in a neutral environment. And that’s when a farmer is most honest with himself, and his conversations with me,” Matthews said.

Summing up, he makes these observations: • The work ethic of older farmers seems stronger than that of younger farmers, perhaps because most farms used to have livestock.

• Younger family members don’t realize when you quit you can’t just live on social security.

• Retiring farmers often are willing to lend a hand to family members taking over the farm, but too often that “lending a hand” is like full time so the younger family members think they need only an eight-hour day on the farm.

• Farmers have an incredible amount of pride.

Their farm is their achievement which generates a tremendous focus on leaving it even better.

• That pride also keeps them from saying “Good for me. We’re heading to the Bahamas this winter.”

• It also keeps them from saying “I’ve got nothing to do. I guess we’ll take a vacation.”

LIMITATIONS, from pg. 6A Matthews noted that often the wife is more ready to retire from the farm than is the husband. “The reality is that it’s harder for the older farmer to slow down, than his wife. Let’s face the other reality of crop farming these days is that farmers are employed only for a part of the year. And what to do with this amazing amount of so-called free time is indeed a mental challenge.”

What’s making this retirement issue more difficult? One reality is that often the wife is now the chief bookkeeper of the farming operation. She knows she has opinions and that generates controversy, Matthews said.

“Men for a thousand years never had to argue with their women about what equipment to buy, but not so anymore,” he chuckled, adding, “make too many wrong decisions on equipment and you lose the farm.

Yes, there’s lots more give and take on farm decisions than there used to be.”

He advises his male customers that if their wife is doing the books how can you possibly not expect that she would have, and should have, an opinion since she is doing the numbers.

He’s concerned about the aggressive attitudes of farmers when it comes to buying land. “Even though they all say that prices are getting out of hand yet as soon as that neighboring quarter comes up, they’re bidding,” Matthew said. He asks what happens when some bubbles start occurring? Also what happens if injury or illness or death suddenly occurs? Yet he marvels at the uniqueness of agriculture where if a farmer suddenly needs help, for whatever reason, almost as suddenly 10 tractors or 10 combines show up.

“Neighbors show up, usually without even being called. They do what needs to be done for that farmer, that family. They don’t charge a dime. If you try to pay they would be offended. So even though

Stress: Farming represents psychological hazard

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Could the growing stress of farming today be mostly of social origin?

Mike Rosmann, well-known clinical psychologist living at Harlan, Iowa, points out farmers today work much more in isolation than previous generations. This lack of social interaction with neighboring farmers stymies their opportunity to “unload” thoughts and feelings.

He said that farming has one of the highest injury-related rates for any occupation in America, annually ranking in the top 3. And if we include fishing and forestry as agricultural occupations, as the U.S. Department of Agriculture does, then farming is the most hazardous occupation.

“But what most people don’t understand is that farming is also a psychological hazard because the suicide rate for farmers is higher than most any other work group. The suicide rate correlates directly with economic stress,” Rosmann said.

He points out a farmer’s among farmers has remained stable since behavioral health is linked the farm crisis era of the 1980s. with their economic success.

Plus, the “decision-making” process on many environment of modern farming, the divorce rate farms today now involves both husband and wives, and younger members of the family if they are transitioning into “membership responsibilities” in the operation of the farm.

“We don’t have a shortage of farmers who want to ‘begin’, but we do have a shortage of farmers wanting to quit,” Rosmann said. He pointed out that farmers today farm into their 70s, even into their 80s, thanks to technology and enterprise opportunities that have substantially reduced the physical work load.

Obviously these changes are causing some issues.

“It’s human nature that children and parents see things differently, perhaps even more so among farm families, because farming is such a “hands-on” vocation.

This strife often accelerates when someone who doesn’t have a country background marries into the family.

Rosmann also pointed out that women today are entering into farming at much higher rates than formerly. “About 17 percent of all U.S. farmers today are now women and they are getting into farming at a rate twice as fast as men,” he said.

The average farm size for women is about 220 acres nationally versus about 440 acres for farming operations owned/operated by men. Also women farmers are more likely to specialize in organic crops, specialized animal production (long-haired sheep, for example), or direct farm to consumer programs.

He said that about two-thirds of women farmers are married. He also said about 40 percent of farm women are “secondary operators” such as going to the local Farm Service Agency office as needed, providing additional help hauling grain and fetching parts, etc.

Seeking outside counsel How does a farmer find help? “More services are being offered through Extension; through Beginning Farmers programs; even through local churches in some situations. Minnesota has a Sustainable Farming Association directed by John Mesko. The number See HAZARD, pg. 9A

optimistic position. But agriculture could fall apart rapidly if grain prices decline considerably. My summary advice to farmers is that they need to stay ‘open minded’ about seeking outside counsel, preferably before the ‘stress syndrome’ starts ripping at their personal health, their family environment and their marriage.

Q: Are increasing debt loads a ture. The following is a Question & Answer session with Meyer on the contributing factor to increasing divorce rates within rural famitopic of stress.

Q: Because of the high stakes of lies?

Meyer: Marital disharmony comes farming today, are we seeing more behavioral issues among from two major causes: financial prob-

lems and lack of sexual compatibility. Successful farming operations include a business plan that involves all members of the management team.

Farmers that do not involve their spouse are missing the boat.

Not only are the spouse inputs valuable, but they are going to provide muchneeded support. This harmony will be there if everyone knows what is going on and why. The same is true of children and their spouses.

Lack of transparency is like playing basketball with only one hand. You can do it, but it works a whole lot better with two. Most spouses have off-farm jobs or careers and the juggling of schedules and support for each other, as well as the kids, is so important.

Q: Due to technology in both farm equipment and medicine, farmers stay healthy longer and farm longer. Is this causing strife with sons and daughters wanting to become farming partners?

Meyer: The problem of fathers using sons and daughters as hired hands has been around since the sod was broken.

This happens because Dad is insecure.

He can’t stand to be challenged or have his judgment questioned. Thus those around him are not encouraged to share their management skills. Technology has been a real plus in involving the younger generation. Dad simply has to depend on the younger, brighter tech minds to make the equipment work correctly.

One of the smartest plans I know is allowing young people to own and raise livestock and crops to earn money for more education or to buy into the operation. It always seemed to me it was easier to give up a little income over a 10-year period as the young people grow up, rather than come up with $20,000 to $30,000 the year a child wants to go to college, buy a house, or start a business.

Q: Should outside counsel be a first step when farm families sit down to discuss a transition of the farm?

Meyer: Another opinion is always good if you are secure enough to handle the comments. Most successful business operations use paid consult-

ants. These are doctors, dentists, tax preparers, crop consultants. We are also good at collecting as many pointers as we can for no pay.

The role of consulting is very clear. If you are going to pay someone for advice, either pay attention and use the information as best you can, or fire the consultant.

Q: Can farmers start with a visit to their county Extension office when they want advice on how to avoid a potential financial crisis?

Meyer: Because of media, social and educational change, the county Extension office help has diminished. Extension still has some value, but requires a cell phone number of the specialist you need. As is the case with crop and livestock production, financial management help now comes from the private sector. It costs more, but the ones that are in business for three to five years or more are worth it.

Q: Is there a substantial difference between the stress load of farming today versus 30 years ago?

Meyer: Thirty years ago would be the 1980s. Except for the 1930s, farmers have never experienced more stress than the period 1975-85. We have a similar situation now with commodity prices, land prices and cash rent at a high level. I am sensing that there are enough of us who experienced firsthand that earlier stress period and are going to be more reserved.

The stakes in production agriculture have never been higher. But ag loans are down, ag equity is high, machinery has been updated, mostly to excess.

Homes have been built new or seriously remodeled, and bankers have basically lost control of farmer borrowing, because the equity is so great. All this “new equity” has allowed more land to be bought and rented, thus operations are getting larger.

With good management, farm operations with 1,500 acres or more have a considerable net profit advantage. It is a different stress. We are stressed to stay on top, versus 30 years ago we were stressed to get off the bottom to stay in business. ❖

Ugandan visitors wowed by scale of U.S. farming

By TIM KROHN Mankato Free Press LAKE CRYSTAL, Minn. — When Ssebaakijje Isaac Mukisa asked farmer Brad Leiding how many soybeans he produced on an acre of land, Leiding said he averaged about 50 bushels.

The amount meant nothing to the Ugandan soy distributor until he and Leiding figured out a conversion of bushels to pounds and then kilos. “Wow,” Mukisa said.

Mukisa and more than a dozen other bakers and food distributors were a bit overwhelmed by the scale and production of American farms.

“In our country you grow maybe 10 acres for yourself, here you have thousands of acres,” Mukisa said.

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

The group stopped by Leiding’s Lake Crystal, Minn., farm the evening of Aug. 11, after spending a week taking classes about baking with soy flour at the Northern Crops Institute in Fargo, N.D. The visit is aimed at encouraging the use of soy flour, which has a higher protein level and other benefits over wheat flour.

Isaac Njoroge, a baker from Uganda, said farming there is only about 5 percent mechanized with most work done by hand. “The farms here are so much advanced, 100 times.” Dutliff Snyman, who owns a food consulting and distribution firm in South Africa, has been to America before but hadn’t before been immersed in farm country.

baked goods at markets, to large baking companies that buy soy flour by the shipping container.

The use of soy flour has increased in recent years, in part because of a push to bring more protein-rich soy to developing countries by the World Initiative for Soy in Human Health.

Josh Neiderman, of the Initiative, said the goal of the local two-day tour is to build relationships between those selling and using soy in Africa with those who are producing soybeans. “They just want to get experience on how soybeans are grown here.”

The tour, co-sponsored by the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association, continued the next day with a tour of the Perry and Lou Ann Meyer and Tim Krohn/Mankato Free Press Justin and Jody Enter farms near A delegation of Ugandan bakers and food distributors hoped to build rela- New Ulm, Minn.

Obviously as slope increases, acreage controlled with a single unit tends to decrease.

“The 2012 drought jumped interest in controlled drainage considerably,” Algreen said.

“We’re seeing land owners install systems to fill a pond, develop a wetland area for duck habitat, but land prices and commodity prices are definitely putting drainage management systems into more and more crop land.”

He said that cost-share money is available. He also said that producers are becoming more tuned into controlled water management because if something isn’t done voluntarily, it may become mandated by government agencies.

This could happen because of unwanted byproducts of field drainage, specifically excess nitrates and phosphorous that ultimately enter creeks and streams, and negatively impact the environment.

“You can measure a 30-percent to 60-percent reduction in nitrogen leaving crop fields once a drainage water management system is in place,” Algreen said.

He said that between 12 million and 15 million acres of 1-percent-slope “flat land” exist in the Midwest, suitable for drainage water management.

Working through your local Natural Resources Conservation Service is the starting point for receiving technical and financial assistance. The Environmental Quality Incentives Program, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is the source of money for controlled water management projects.

“Developing a plan through NRCS might cost $1,800 to $2,000. But EQIP covers about 75 percent of that cost and will also pay about $600 per structure, so financial assistance is significant,” said

Algreen, who noted that a drainage water management system would likely change the pattern of your new tile lines.

Operating instructions spell out: • Before tillage, remove riser boards to drop water table levels about 10 days prior to planting fieldwork.

• During the growing season, stack riser boards to raise the water table high enough to provide capillary water to the crop root zone.

• Before harvest, remove boards to lower water table.

• After harvest install boards to raise water table to hold nutrients in the soil over winter.

Talk of the Gulf of Mexico’s “Dead Zone” continues to pin a large portion of ecological blame on Midwest farmers, but drainage water management offers farmers a way to control water; to fine-tune water delivery on a farmer’s terms. The objective is simple — Make drainage tiles work both ways: Take excess water off, or hold it back when needed.

According to Algreen, the “Golden Rule of Drainage” is to drain only that which is necessary to ensure traffic ability and crop production, and not a drop more.

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 6, 2013

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Drainage Water Management is retrofitting an existing tile system with a water control structure which makes it possible for operators to directly manage water table levels. Thanks to some unseasonable dry seasons across portions of Phil Algreen the Corn Belt the past couple of years, drainage management is picking up interest.

At Farmfest, Phil Algreen, representing the Agri Drain Corp. of Adair, Iowa, was talking controlled tile drainage. He said more research is now proving the merits of controlling the water table in your cropland, especially as it relates to better yields in a moisture-deficient season.

But he cautioned, “there are a lot of variables when you start talking about controlled drainage. The weather is always changing and weather is the single biggest determiner of potential increases in crop performance because of managing the flow of water through your tile system.

“In a normal weather season, it might be difficult to measure yield benefits. But in a low-rainfall season yield advantages of 5 to 7 percent on corn and 2 to 3 percent on soybeans are likely.”

More water available to your crops when they need it is the thrust of controlled drainage. Initially recommended on soils of one-degree slope or less, systems are now being installed in fields of 2 percent.

“Timing is critical in drainage water management,” Algreen said. “If you don’t save the water when it’s available, it’s simply too late. So you’ve got to have some anticipation, listen to local weather, and then react accordingly.”

The number of acres a given flow control structure can handle depends upon the slope of your particular field, but the goal is to maximize that number. “And that’s why flatter is better,” he said, noting that if one structure can do 80 acres the cost is insignificant.

A water level control structure costs on average about $700, Algreen said. The water gate, the buried unit that responds to the control structure, costs $600. He said 20 acres per system is doable in most situations but 40 acres is often a starting point.

Modern-day orthopedics for animals improving Strong bones, joints, ligaments and muscles are vital to healthy movement and a healthy lifestyle in animals. Now, when these functions go awry in a pet due to unhealthy habits or unfortunate circumstances, a pet’s quality of life can still be sustained due to the modernday procedures of orthopedics in veterinary medicine.

Sharon Kerwin, professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences and a specialist in orthopedics and neurosurgery, said that orthopedics is the treatment or prevention of conditions affecting the bones, joints, ligaments and muscles. Kerwin said that orthopedic procedures in animals are much more advanced than most people are aware.

“We perform many of the same types of procedures that are available for treatment of similar problems in humans, with the goal of getting the

injured animal back to normal activities as quickly and comfortably as possible,” Kerwin said.

Kerwin said that two of the most common problems she sees in dogs and cats are cranial cruciate ligament disease (similar to an ACL tear in humans) and hip dysplasia.

Twenty years ago, affected patients of these problems would have resulted in cases of crippling osteoarthritis. Fortunately, with today’s modern conveniences and knowledgeable specialists, these patients may enjoy full recoveries.

“On the large animal side, there is an active sports medicine, lameness and trauma service that provides arthroscopy (minimally invasive surgery using an arthroscope to treat damage in the interior of the joint) and fracture repair for horses and other large animal species,” Kerwin said.

“Our exotic and zoo animal service often sees birds, pocket pets and exotic animals with bone and joint problems, many of which can be treated successfully.”

Orthopedic diseases have not yet been confirmed to be related to just hereditary or environmental conditions. A lot of research has been targeted toward the inherited basis of the more common orthopedic diseases. Kerwin suggests that orthopedic problems can spur from both aspects.

“There is definitely a hereditary basis for hip dysplasia, with multiple genes involved,” Kerwin said. “Environment plays a big role as well, with diet and exercise as key factors involved in the development of signs of problems in affected animals.

Preventive measures are always important for owners to keep in mind, and there are many preventive measures that may help alleviate future orthopedic diseases.

Kerwin suggests that the best thing you can do to prevent many diseases is to keep your pet healthy and in-shape.

This will not only help to ease orthopedic diseases, but it will help in all aspects of your pet’s livelihood.

Kerwin explains that, “research in dogs indicates that dogs kept in an appropriate body condition will live two years longer than their overweight counterparts, which is a very long time in dog years. In addition, their risk for osteoarthritis is much lower.”

Kerwin is enthusiastic about where veterinary orthopedics has come. But, she also understands what is possible in the future and that there are a couple of challenges to face.

Two great Cajun tastes — grilled shrimp ’n grits

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 6, 2013

There are many foods that naturally go together: Steak and baked potato, cereal and milk, pretzels and beer ... and in the South, shrimp and grits.

Today’s column is devoted to my version of shrimp and grits.

If you get a chance to eat at Jack Fry’s in Louisville, Ky., their take on shrimp and grits is a classic. The shrimp are panseared and the cheesy grits are served with a delicious red-eye gravy. In fact, you can Google it and find the full recipe online.

My version is outdoorsy by utilizing hot coals, and a bit spicy with the addition of Cajun seasoning and a tomato-based barbecue sauce.

First, buy nice shrimp. I like to use 10-15 count, meaning there are roughly 10 to 15 shrimp per pound. These are the perfect size for skewering. In my area, they are typically frozen. If you can get them fresh, more power to you. We used 2 pounds for this dinner, and we had leftovers. Let the shrimp

thaw (unless fresh) and then take the shell off and Cheesy Grits remove the mud vein. Skewer the shrimp with 1 cup instant grits wooden skewers that have been soaked. Pierce 3 cups whole milk through the meaty part and then through the tail so 1 cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese they resemble a “C” shape. The shrimp can touch but Salt and pepper to taste should not be crammed together.

Memoir of the grave digger’s daughter won’t let you down

BBQ, from pg. 19A Warm the milk over medium heat to the point where you start to see some bubbling at the sides.

You have to stir the milk the entire time to keep it from burning on the bottom. Slowly stir in the grits.

Stir until you have the creamy consistency of cooked grits. Add salt and pepper to taste. Now, stir in the cheese. Continue stirring until it is melted into the grits, and that’s all there is to it.

Create a sauce by placing 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce (we used “Sweet Baby Rae” for this dish) in a small pot. Bring to a simmer while stirring. Now, add 1/2 cup of your favorite beer. Stir until fully mixed. The beer helps cut the sweetness of the BBQ sauce.

Sprinkle your favorite Cajun seasoning on both

sides of the skewered shrimp. Now apply the sauce liberally to both sides of the shrimp. Place shrimp over hot coals. This can be done on a gas grill, too.

The shrimp won’t take long, maybe three minutes on one side and two minutes on the other side. Don’t overcook the shrimp as they will turn to rubber. They will be done when they have a pink color to them.

To serve, place a helping of grits on the plate. Now put three to four grilled shrimp on the grits. Drizzle with the BBQ-beer sauce. Quick, easy, Southern and delicious. Enjoy!

At first blush, “We’ll Be the Last Ones to Let You Down” seemed to me to be an odd little collection of “so what” anecdotes.

Most readers won’t know many (if any) of the people that Hanel writes about. Most readers won’t care which highway borders whose farm.

But watch: Hanel’s words sneak up and poke us. Quiet stories of neighbors and friends cause little gasps when she abruptly reveals why she’s telling us about them. She sets up possibilities and hits us with realities — which is never clearer than in her chapter about the summer she was just 15. There, Hanel offers her memories like broken toys, asking us to somehow make order of what happened, as if she’s indignant and wants us to feel the senseless outrageousness of it all.

Right there is where this book and its stories about small towns, neighbors, family, life and death, make sense. It’s where I fell in love with it and I think you will, too, because “We’ll Be the Last Ones to Let You Down” ... ultimately won’t.

Editor’s note: Rachael Hanel spent some time working at The Land early in her writing career.

Look for the reviewed book at a bookstore or a library near you. You may also find the book at online book retailers.

Now is the ideal time to tackle dandelions, creeping charlie Many homeowners start forgetting about their lawn this time of year. However, this is the ideal time for using post-emergence chemical applications for weed control. According to the University of Minnesota Extension, post-emergence herbicides may be applied any time the weeds are actively growing, the air temperature is 60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, there are no winds, and there is no rain in the forecast for 48 hours. Most effective control of perennial broadleaf weeds is obtained when applied in early fall (Aug. 15-Oct. 15) or in spring (May 1June 1). For some weeds, repeated application at 20to 30-day intervals may be required for control.

For dandelions, use 2, 4-D or a combination of 2, 4D, MCPP (Mecoprop) and dicamba can also be utilized. The ideal timing for applying these products for dandelion control is September. The non-chemical option is to manually dig out the plants. A weeding fork and dandelion diggers may be a couple of options for that task. Get as much of the dandelion root as you can so the dandelion does not start growing again.

For creeping charlie, use a combination of 2, 4-D and MCPP or a combination of 2, 4-D, MCPP and dicamba. The ideal timing for applying these products to creeping charlie is in September or autumn once temperatures have cooled to the 60s and 70s.

The non-chemical approaches are to pull the plant out or utilize a dethatching rake. It may be necessary to start over with the lawn if the creeping charlie gets out of control.

Most other broadleaf weeds can be controlled by herbicide applications of 2, 4-D and/or a combination of 2,4-D, MCPP and dicamba. It is always a good idea to know what you are spraying to be sure that the herbicide will control the desired pest. The herbicide label should list the weeds it will control.

Another option is to utilize a non-selective herbicide like glyphosate. Use of these types of products

Church of the Visitation, Danvers, Minn.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

I

n an area of Minnesota that was settled by German and Irish immigrants, it is striking to see a church building that suggests you are in northern France. But the Catholic Church of the Visitation in Danvers offers that refreshing sight.

Rosemary Barth’s great-greatgrandparents are buried in the cemetery and she grew up in the congregation. She researched old newspaper articles and put together a scrapbook.

According to the articles, a grass fire got out of control in April of 1931 and

got sucked into the original woodframe building through a coal chute.

The structure burned to the ground.

The congregation immediately started plans to rebuild. The cornerstone was laid in August, and before the year was over, the first service was held in the new building on Christmas Eve. The handsome structure is built of brick and stone in French Normandy style, with a Norman spire topping the tower. Decorative dormers and buttresses, and symmetry in the roofline and windows, pleasantly draw the eye

to this hilltop house of worship.

The 90-foot by 40-foot structure, with heating plant and all, cost about $36,000. The congregation saved $600 when the excavation was done voluntarily by members of the parish. According to the articles, the architect was Cyril P. Pesek of Minneapolis. The design was probably the work of Pesek’s new partner in 1931, Glynne Shifflet. Shifflet had studied at the Fontainebleau School of Fine Arts in France the previous year.

Barth’s collection includes programs from Fall Festivals and other activi-

ties when it was a thriving congregation. The decline in the rural population led to a decline in membership, and it ceased to be a parish some years ago. Church of the Visitation is now an Oratory. Mass is held weekly on Tuesday nights, attended by local residents, and it is open for weddings, funerals and special events.

Or you could just stop by and imagine you are visiting France.

The church building is on the east end of Danvers, about a block south of Highway 12. ❖

the combine’s yearly checkup.”

While harvest planning and preparations are under way, Messner is in no hurry to jump in the combine. An early frost is “everybody’s fear,” he said; a mid-September frost “would be a disaster” and even a mid-October frost could be detrimental to the crop.

“All we can do is hope that it holds off.” For now, the focus remains on unwanted house guests in the soybean fields.

By KRISTIN KVENO The Land Correspondent

The Brandts Ada, Minn.

Going out in the fields with the crop insurance adjuster to look at the aftermath of the hail storm that hit Scott

Johnson’s farm on Aug. 6, he was “surprised at all the different stages the corn fields are in.”

The Johnson farm hasn’t received any rain since that early Scott Johnson August storm, and rain is needed, but the current heat wave in the area is also needed. When The Land spoke to Johnson on Aug. 19, he reported that “some of the ears were a lot further along.”

Two of his fields were hit hard by the hail, with beans taking the brunt of the damage. Those that weren’t hit by hail still look “pretty good.” Still uncertain is how the crops will tolerate the hail damage; the full extent of the hail damage won’t be known until harvest.

Johnson is spraying for aphids as they seem to be enjoying his later-planted bean fields.

Johnson is keeping his eye on his fields to see if they can continue to grow after the hail, while also working on “getting fertilizer plans together.”

Johnson knows that “harvest will be here before you know it.”

Farming is a never-ending game of pool, where the farmer is always lining up the next shot (harvest) and sometimes several shots ahead (fall and spring fertilizer). With a little luck, the late planting and the summer hail storm hasn’t tilted the pool table for a fair shot at a winning harvest on the Johnson farm.

The Messners Northfield, Minn.

Chris Messner has lots of new little “friends” in his fields and he would like them to take the hint that they aren’t welcome on any of his Chris Messner soybeans plants.

Aphids in and around the Messner farm “are pretty bad,” Messner told The Land on Aug. 19. Many lateseeded Minnesota soybean fields are quickly accumulating treatable populations of aphids.

The beans should be OK, he said, but they do have a long ways to go until they are ready to combine. “We could use a shot of rain,” Messner said. The beans are “not dry, but a lot of nodes are showing a little bit of stress.” Messner believes that most farmers in the area will not be expecting 60 bushel beans; rather 40 bushel beans may be the reality.

The corn is “coming along,” he said, although he drove by some fields on Aug. 19 and saw corn that wasn’t even tasseled. In Messner’s fields the “pollination looks pretty decent,” but he predicted that “yields are going to be all over the board.” Corn will be in the denting stage by next week, he said, and the crop is “not too far off from normal.”

Thoughts of harvest have begun on the Messner farm. “We’ve got all the bins cleaned out (and we’re) getting

The heat is on in northern Iowa. “It’s supposed to get to 90 tomorrow,” Charlie Laubenthal said.

When The Land spoke with him on Charlie Laubenthal Aug. 20 he was thrilled that the weather had turned from mid-70s and no rain, to high-humidity 90 F days with a chance of rain.

The “corn is tasseled” and “looks OK,” Laubenthal said, but it’s still behind. The soybeans are setting pods and “look decent ... I haven’t heard a lot of talk of aphids.” While aphids aren’t a problem in his fields, a lack of rain is; there hadn’t been rain in two weeks.

Laubenthal is getting updated and educated on the new corn hybrids and soybean varieties, as well as important program information from Mycogen Seeds. He is ready to put on his seed-selling hat as “seed sales will start again soon.” He is also working on finishing hauling corn and cleaning out the bottoms of bins.

“If we get some 90-degree days, that will progress the crop,” Laubenthal said. Warmer temperatures are keeping concerns about an early frost at bay. “As long as we don’t get a frost we’ll be average at best.” Let’s hope this tropical weather sticks around for a while. ❖

Danny Brandt The Land spoke with Danny Brandt later that day, and he reported that the weather was much cooler — 86 F — than it was just the day before. You know that you’re in a hot streak when 86 feels cool.

Brandt just finished walking beet fields on the lookout for bolters, or beets that have prematurely gone to seed. He reported that one field had 20 bolters, and that the beets are “wilting and dry.” Brandt expects the crop will stay the same, or at best add a little more sugar. Crystal Sugar is estimating that around the Ada area there will be a 24- to 25-ton crop. Brandt isn’t as optimistic.

Beet pre-haul is scheduled for Sept.

11-13 and will be quite an adventure for Brandt as “Highway 9 is all torn up from Ada to Polk County 9.” His piling site is right on Highway 9 so he may have to take the beets to another receiving station.

Meanwhile, the beans are “starting to really suffer,” Brandt said. Leaves on the plants are already starting to turn due to the lack of moisture. He’s predicting that he’ll be in the field combining beans in just a few weeks, “a little earlier than usual.”

All the crops are feeling the effects of lack of rain. Corn, Brandt said, is “dry and starting to cannibalize on the stalk.” On the bright side, he finished combining wheat on Aug. 21 and it was a “better crop than we thought.”

Brandt reports that the “bins are filled up and everyone’s happy.”

While he knows that he’s not going to get the big crop like last year, his “glass half-full” personality shines through — he says the lack of rain is going to let him “get the crop off easily.”

Grain Outlook The word today is: weather

Livestock Angles Cash steady, futures drifting

Grain Angles Your pre-harvest checklist

The following market analysis is for the week ending Aug. 30.

CORN — Corn blew through resistance as traders came back from the weekend with stifling heat seen across the Midwest.

The balance of the week was spent retracing those gains as traders adjusted to the weather and determined what affect it would have on the corn yield.

While late-planted corn will see a definite yield decline from the lack of rain and high heat, corn did need heating degree days to push it toward maturity.

PHYLLIS NYSTROM The transition from old crop CHS Hedging Inc. supplies to new crop is a tricky St. Paul job this year and early corn is needed in the pipeline. Funds were net buyers during the week, cutting back on their overall net short corn positions.

Corn harvest is progressing in the South with good yields being reported. One area in western Kentucky reported 241 bushels per acre, their best ever. Barges are being loaded to move north to satisfy demand.

Overall crop conditions dropped 2 percent to 59 percent good/excellent as of Aug. 25, with additional declines anticipated. Iowa, Minnesota and Indiana were all down 4 percent, Illinois fell 5 percent and North Dakota was 10 percent lower. Only 23 percent of the crop was dented versus 45 percent on average.

Weekly export sales were routine with old crop showing small net cancellations of 600,000 bushels and decent new crop sales of 31 million bushels.

Total export commitments for 2013-14 are nearly 42

The livestock markets have had some interesting weeks in August. The cattle market has been unusually quiet and firm, while the hog market has what appears to be a seasonal top.

The cash cattle market has been grinding away at near-steady to slightly better prices, while at the same time the cattle futures have been slowly drifting lower. The beef cutouts have seen improvement over the past several weeks and appear to have bottomed, presenting the packers with better margins.

This has allowed the bidding for live animals more flexibility JOE TEALE Broker and thus improving prices in the cash market. The futures, on the Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. other hand, have seen the positive basis shrink away and close in on the current live price.

On Aug. 23, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released the Monthly Cattle on Feed Report. The results are as follows: on-feed Aug. 1, 94 percent; placements in July, 90 percent; and marketed in July, 105 percent. The report was seen as friendly primarily due to the placement number and the better marketed number. This obviously suggests that from the supply standpoint, cattle numbers will be tight.

However, from the demand side of the equation, domestic demand has continued to be poor and has slowed over the past year. If it weren’t for the export demand, the overall demand for beef would completely offset the supply of cattle.

With economic conditions not improving, it will be

So far, this year has been anything but ordinary, especially for folks with a significant amount of prevented-plant acres. As I’ve been meeting with clients the past few weeks, it has become clear that planning for this fall may require looking at things a bit differently. Here are a few suggested items to add to your pre-harvest checklist.

Double-check your coverage If you are an owner of a multiperil crop insurance policy, your schedule of insurance should be arriving from your agent soon. If there was ever a year to put reviewing acres and coverage high on your priority list, this is it. Making changes to your policy DAREL NESS later this fall may prove to be difAgStar Assistant VP Financial Services ficult or near impossible. There is Rochester, Minn. certainly a higher likelihood of having a payable loss this fall, especially on corn revenue policies.

If the December corn contract continues to trade at current levels through October, producers who have purchased higher levels of revenue insurance, like 80 to 85 percent, will have a bushel guarantee per acre that is close to their actual production history.

Although we are hearing about the great potential yields of this corn crop nationally, many in our area are not expecting an above-average crop.

Stress test your marketing plan for volatility Whether a grain producer or an end-user, make sure your marketing plan is ready for the volatility we could potentially experience this fall. We have a lot of acres nationally that need a favorable fall to mature. An early frost could be devastating to our

Everyone agrees weather drives yield potential down

Your taxable income may surprise We also have had unusual events impacting taxable incomes — like prevent-plant crop insurance payments and reimbursements back to producers for unused seed and fertilizer on prevent-plant acres — that need to be considered. The earlier you get a handle on your income and where you want to be, the more options you will have to get yourself there.

As we close the door on summer and look ahead to fall, we are facing a lot of uncertainty in the grain industry. We all know that there is nothing we can do to impact the weather, the markets or the national harvest, but planning ahead and being prepared can make a big difference in the success of your operation. One can only hope that the weather will cooperate more this fall than it did this spring.

OUTLOOK: How many ways can you say that it’s all about the weather? Weather is king for shortterm direction as everyone looks to their favorite meteorologist for guidance.

When we return from the Labor Day weekend, prices are expected to swing hard in whichever direction weekend weather favored: hot and dry equals sharply higher; cooler and/or wetter, sharply lower. For soybeans, current weather conditions can have a lingering effect longer term on prices since next year’s carryout was only pegged at 220 million bushels on the August USDA balance sheets. The majority of the trade is already beginning to predict how much the yield will decline on the Sept. 12 report.

For August, nearby beans were up 3.6 percent and are up 0.4 percent year-to-date.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ended Aug. 30: December Minneapolis wheat was up 5 1/4 cents, Chicago up 8 cents and Kansas City 6 1/4 cent higher. October crude oil jumped up $1.23 to $107.65 as the situation in Syria worsened and Libya production continues to be curtailed due to armed protester attacks closing ports. October ultra-low-sulfur diesel surged 3 3/4 cents higher and gasoline gained nearly 2 cents. Natural gas rose 6 cents on higher cooling demand.

Hog market following a pattern TEALE, from pg. 2B hard for the cattle market to make a long-term sustained rally without some improvement in the economic picture. Producers should be aware of market conditions and protect inventories on any sharp rallies.

The hog market has shown that the normal seasonal top that comes nearly every summer did not miss a beat again this year. Cash hog prices have been on the decline since the middle of August reflecting the chance that that high is now in place. The futures market had already anticipated this topping event and remains a deep discount to the current cash price.

In addition, the pork cutout has declined from its high made in early

August and appears to be in retreat for the near future. Because of the competitive nature of the consumer to the prices in the meats, one would suspect if the disparity between the retail price of beef exceeds the retail price of pork, there will be a switch to the lesser expensive pork. This could help hold hog prices from any real sharp declines if beef prices hold current levels or rise much further.

The demand for pork has remained fairly good throughout the year and could end up being the supportive factor that slows the downward move in hog prices. Producers should be cognizant of the market conditions and protect inventories when necessary. ❖

Proactively communicate with your marketing advisers and grain merchandiser to discuss how different scenarios may impact your operation.

Don’t forget to consider the part that basis may play in our price changes this fall; it is a price risk not covered by multi-peril crop insurance revenue policies.

Start your income tax planning earlier than usual Have you looked at your taxable income year-to-date? It may surprise you. Many of my grain clients are sitting on the largest taxable income levels they have had in their careers. At the same time, they are anticipating lower income in 2014 because of lower prices and fewer bushels. Getting a plan in place before harvest to target your fall income and expenses just makes sense.

beans to a weekly high of $14.09 1/2 on Tuesday. There is a gap from $13.31 1/2 to $13.46 remaining on the November chart as August ended.

Soybeans closed out the week well off the weekly high at $13.57 1/2, up 29 1/2 cents for the week. November beans are up 98 1/4 cents in the last two weeks. Bean conditions fell 4 percent as of Aug. 25 to 58 percent good/excellent and are anticipated show a 4 percent to 6 percent decline as of Sept. 2.

By state last week, Illinois, South Dakota and Minnesota were all down 5 percent, North Dakota fell 10 percent, Indiana lost 7 percent, and Iowa and Wisconsin dropped 2 percent.

In spite of surging prices, China stepped in and bought 230,000 mt of U.S. beans this week. Old crop weekly export sales showed minuscule cancellations and new crop sales were in line with expectations at 32 million bushels. Total 2013-14 sales of 724 million bushels are 12.2 percent higher than last year. The USDA is predicting exports to be 5.3 percent higher year on year. We begin a new crop year Sept. 1.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans displayed “gap and go higher” action to begin the week when little to no rain was seen across the Corn Belt in combination with yielddamaging heat.

November beans galloped to within 1/4cent of the contract high set last September. Some forecasts are calling this the driest July-August in Illinois, Iowa and Indiana since 1936.

August weather makes the bean yield and recent weather has driven the yield potential lower, that’s something everyone can agree on.

The variable is to what degree has the yield has been hurt. If the bean yield falls to 41 bu./acre from the USDA’s August 42.6 bu./acre figure, carryout for 2013-14 could be less than 100 million if the loss is carried directly to the bottom line. Scorching heat without rain pushed November

NYSTROM, from pg. 2B percent ahead of last year at 447 million bushels. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is projecting export sales to increase 71 percent year-on-year.

U.S. corn is uncompetitive in most world markets, accounting for South Korea buying 60,000 metric tons of Brazilian corn this week for November shipment.

U.S. ethanol production dropped by 24,000 barrels per day to 820,000 barrels/day this week. Stocks were off slightly at 16.3 million barrels.

OUTLOOK: December corn was up 12 cents for the week at $4.82 per bushel. It is up 33 3/4 cents over the last two weeks on hot, dry conditions.

For the month, nearby corn was down 0.8 percent and is 29 percent lower year-to-date. Weather should impact corn prices to a lesser extent than soybeans, and price action should reflect it. Look for corn to be dragged along in whichever direction soybeans flow.

Last week’s high in the December corn of $5.08 1/4 will act as resistance if conditions remain unfavorable. First support is the bottom of the gap at $4.74 1/2 per bushel, then the August low at $4.45 3/4 per bushel. Any sustained rally in corn will have to be led by beans. If you need to play catch-up on sales, use opportunities as they are presented.

U.S. butter priced favorably for clearance overseas MIELKE, from pg. 5B trend and ample inventories, according to the DMN. Butter production is increasing at many churns as cream demand slackens from frozen dessert facilities. Higher bottling interest is also sending more cream into the marketplace, and butter churn operators report cream multiples were declining.

Despite these cream market conditions, some butter manufacturers are reluctant to add to already hefty butter inventories.

Although butter stocks are above year-ago holdings nationally, there are some butter/powder producers who cleared all their butter. With cream multiples decreasing and butter prices at low ebb, some manufacturers are anxious to rebuild their inventories for fall commitments. Other manufacturers are turning to print manufacturing for fourth quarter orders.

Internationally, U.S. butter is priced favorably for clearance to overseas markets, according to the DMN. Cash powder was steady on the

week, with Grade A holding at $1.80 and Extra Grade at $1.78.

AMS powder averaged $1.7741, up 0.3 cent, and dry whey averaged 58.29 cents/lb., up 0.7 cent.

■ California milk production was trending lower last week, resulting from a spell of hot weather. Some processors saw a quick 2- to 4-percent drop in receipts from the previous week earlier.

Arizona output was also lower. Hot weather advisories were being issued for man and beast. Production in the Pacific Northwest continues to decline along expected seasonal lines. Utah and Idaho supplies were restricted by continued hot weather. Wildfires in the region have caused transportation issues as trucks were rerouted.

The number of milk loads leaving the Central region heading to the Southeast to fill Class I demand is increasing from week to week. Handlers expect weekly milk load increases will continue until all schools are back in session and the pipeline is completely

filled.

Manufacturing milk spot loads are scarce within the Central region as a result of increasing Class I demand and seasonally decreasing farm milk intakes. Milk production remains above seasonal levels and adding to manufacturing milk supplies in the Northeast. Manufacturing milk supplies in the Mid-Atlantic are being reduced as increased Class I demand in the Southeast is pulling supplies out of the region.

Milk production in Florida continues to decline with the typical seasonal low point still a few weeks out. Florida imported 212 spot loads of milk the week of Aug. 12 which was the highest number since August 2006.

Hefty: Technology to tackle production demands Farmer, agronomist and media personality Brian Hefty thinks that as we keep pushing for more production from each acre of land, ag technology will continue to ramp up — including in the biological arena.

Speaking at the Case IH tent at Farmfest, the co-host of RFDTV’s “Ag PhD” program mentioned micro nutrients, sulfur and other elements are often now showing up as a factor in yield limits. “We’ve addressed the N, P and K issues for many years. Now as an agronomist I’m trying to figure out what is the limiting yield factor on this guy’s farm, even down to these last two acres,” Hefty said.

Rewind problems as rows get narrower.

So that means breeding hybrids that work better in this environment. We’re seeing 40,000-, even 45,000-plant-per-acre research projects so breeders are expecting narrower rows going forward.”

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

At Farmfest, Hefty questioned the earlier U.S. Department of Agriculture projection of 155 bushel average yields and he also doubted the accuracy of 97 million acres of corn getting planted this spring. The Aug. 12 USDA projection was 13.763 billion bushel corn crop, a 28percent increase from droughthit 2012 but 2 percent smaller Down the road he sees biologithan traders expected.

Corn maturity delayed; soybean aphids still need to be scouted Warmer than normal temperatures and sunny days led to 6.6 days suitable for field work in Minnesota for the week ending Aug. 25, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistics Service.

Eighty-five percent of Minnesota’s corn was at or beyond the milk stage.

Corn is 5 percent dented, about two weeks behind normal.

Corn conditions were rated at 46 percent good and 10 percent excellent.

In many fields the calendar dates of silking and pollination occurred later than normal.

A rule of thumb is that field grain corn requires 55 to 60 days from the time of pollination until physiological maturity of the corn plant as indicated by the presence of a “black layer” of dead plant cells at the corn

kernel point of attachment on the corn cob. This would translate this year to around Oct. 1 or the first week of October for many area fields. Thus there is a chance of an earlier-than-normal (Oct. 1-10) killing frost which could affect final yield, maturity and test weight of grain corn.

Field grain corn will still need time after that to dry to a combine/grain storage moisture for the year as physiological maturity moisture is typically from 30- to 35-percent moisture content.

Hybrid maturity differences in development time occur primarily from emergence to silking, not from silking to maturity.

To predict whether corn will mature before frost note the hybrid maturity, planting date and tasseling (silking) date of the field. For silage, add 42 to

47 days on to this date to predict 50 percent kernel milk, while for grain, add 55 to 60 days to predict maturity.

These dates are guidelines which will require further in-season decisions as the season unfolds. Another way to look at this is that when corn begins the “dent stage” there are still 27 to 32 days required until maturity for grain corn and silage corn is still just 75 to 85 percent of maximum silage yield.

Eighty-five percent of soybeans were setting pods, lagging behind last year’s 100 percent and the normal 95 percent. Soybean conditions declined slightly to 54 percent good or excellent.

In addition nearly all of the spring wheat crop had ripened. Spring wheat harvest was 65 percent complete, nearly catching up to the normal harvesting pace of 66 percent. Spring wheat conditions improved to 66 percent good or excellent.

Minnesota’s oat harvest advanced 18 percentage points to 80 percent complete, five points behind normal.

Soybean aphid alert from Bruce Potter, University of Minnesota integrated pest management specialist at Lamberton Do not assume 2013 soybean aphid problems are nearly over. In portions of Minnesota, an increasing proportion

of fields are projected to reach economic threshold the week of Aug. 11.

The large number of late-planted fields may mean risk from soybean aphids will be later in the season than usual. The economic threshold is 250 aphids per plant, 80 percent of the plants with aphids present, aphid populations increasing and soybeans are less than R6.

Unlike the spotty, early-season infestations created by aphids from moving from buckthorn and colonizing soybeans, current infestations are now much more widespread.

Over the past couple of weeks, migrating winged aphids have created relatively uniform infestations in many fields. Recent weather had been almost ideal for aphid population increases.

As usual, the extent and level of infestations varies by geography, soybean maturity and other factors but in some areas of Minnesota, many fields are now approaching economic threshold.

Over the next week or so, it is important that Minnesota soybean producers assess aphid populations in their fields.

MANKATO, Minn. — DuPont Pioneer celebrated the opening of its new $2.5 million corn research center midAugust.

“This expansion is a direct result of our commitment to helping Minnesota growers place the right products on their farms,” Steve Reno, vice president, regional business director-U.S., said in a statement.

“Testing products in the environment in which they will be grown is essential to helping growers get the most out of their seed investment as they strive to help meet the growing global demand for food.”

The new facility provides space to accommodate the continued growth of the corn program within the company including supporting the IMPACT plot product advancement program, which selects the best Pioneer brand products to fit the local growing environment.

This expansion includes renovation of

existing office space and development of a new site plan designed to increase safety and efficiency.

Pioneer opens expanded research center near Mankato Pioneer first established a research station in Mankato in 1958 and built a center in the current location in 1966.

It was last remodeled and expanded in 1998. Since then, the center has experienced substantial growth in the number and size of its research programs, which develop corn hybrids, commercialize new technologies and test nextgeneration products for growers in southern Minnesota.

DuPont Pioneer — www.pioneer.com — is the world’s leading developer and supplier of advanced plant genetics, providing seeds to farmers in more than 90 countries.
