And, for a month, that’s just where he stayed in what was described by one news service as, embarrassingly, “the Belarusian KGB pre-trial detention centre.” Hey, the $22 billion-per-year global potash game ain’t for sissies. Russia retaliated by cutting off pork exports to Belarus. Belarus got the message and released Baumgertner to “house arrest.” Meanwhile, on Sept. 24, Russia upped the ante — and, in all likelihood, the future of the global cartel — when it was announced that Uralkali had sold a 12.5 percent stake of its business to China Investment Corp., a Chinese sovereign-wealth fund, for an estimated $2.03 billion. The news, if accurate, brings China, a 10-millionton-per-year customer, into Uralkali just about the time Belarus and Russia were thought ready to kiss and make up. And they still might. Then again, nothing is normal in potash these days. After all, who would have ever thought two old commies would fight like dogs to break up a global cartel only to sell a chunk of it to another commie. Gee, capitalism is complicated.

Pork: Connecting farm to fork October became known as Pork Month because it marked the time of year when hogs were traditionally marketed. Today, it serves as a celebration to thank pork producers and share their stories with consumers. “If you eat, you have a connection to a farmer every day,” said Karen Richter, National Pork Board president and Montgomery, Minn., pork producer. “October Pork Month is an opportunity to refresh the connection consumers have with farmers. We are committed to continuous improvement on our farms and to providing high-quality pork products for families across the United States and around the world.” In 2008, pork producers adopted the six ethical principles at National Pork Industry Forum. The pork industry follows the six guiding ethical principles of the We Care initiative to maintain a safe, high-quality food supply of pork. Producers are committed to: • Producing safe food; • Safeguarding natural resources in all industry practices; • Providing a work environment that is safe and consistent with the industry’s other ethical principles; • Contributing to a better quality of life in communities; • Protecting and promoting animal well-being; and
• Ensuring practices to protect public health. “These ethical principles define our values and who we are,” Richter said. “Consumers can be confident that the pork they eat was raised using these ethical principles.” Pork is the world’s most widely eaten meat representing 42 percent of the meat consumed, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service. Some 81 percent of the population consumes pork in-home at least once in an average two-week period. The top five most popular pork products include ham, sausage, bacon, lunchmeat (excluding ham) and pork chops. Of pork products consumed at home, ham accounts for 31.1 percent, sausage represents 19.6 percent, bacon totals 18.1 percent, lunchmeat accounts for 10.3 percent and pork chops round out the top five with 10.2 percent of pork consumed in-home. “Consumers recognize the versatility of serving pork in their homes,” Richter said. “Cooking to the USDA’s recommended internal temperature of 145 F will ensure flavorful and tender pork on the plate.” For information on Checkoff-funded programs, pork producers can call the Pork Checkoff Service Center at (800) 456-PORK or check the internet at www.pork.org. ❖
PQA Plus certifications hit record highs Participation in the Pork Checkoff-funded Pork Quality Assurance Plus program has reached record highs since its inception in 1989. Nationwide, more than 59,000 pork producers have achieved PQA Plus-certification with an additional 28,000 young people certified through the Youth PQA Plus program. “The rising participation in the PQA Plus program shows pork producers’ commitment to doing the right thing on their farms and to providing consumers with highquality, responsibly raised pork,” said Karen Richter, National Pork Board president and pork producer from Montgomery, Minn. Karen Richter The PQA Plus program sets industry standards for food safety and animal well-being. It provides information to ensure producers can measure, track and continuously improve animal well-being. Revisions are made to the program every three years to increase its effectiveness by updating industry practices based on new research. The revised PQA Plus program rolled out this year, enhanced with an online recertification option for producers and a written test portion. “While PQA Plus remains an education program, producers wanted to take it to the next level,” said Bill Winkelman, Pork Checkoff ’s vice president of producer and industry relations. “Adding a testing component reinforces the learning objectives, similar to the Pork Checkoff ’s successful Transport Quality Assurance program.” To support continual improvement, the site assessment portion of the program encourages producers to work with their PQA Plus adviser in developing and submitting a corrective action plan in the event that a farm-site assessment identifies an area of the operation that needs an improvement to bring it into compliance.
“Where Farm and Family Meet”
“While the focus remains on animal care and producing safe food, the new PQA Plus program also highlights the importance of protecting public health, safeguarding natural resources and providing a safe work environment,” Winkelman said. The National Pork Board has responsibility for Checkoff-funded research, promotion and consumer information projects and for communicating with pork producers and the public. Through a legislative national Pork Checkoff, pork producers invest $0.40 for each $100 value of hogs sold. Pork importers also invest a comparable amount.

When hot dogs were first sold, street vendors called them “red hots,” and they didn’t come on a bun. Instead, a pair of white cotton gloves came with each one to keep fingers cool while eating. What’s the origin of the word barbeque? — Barbeque originated with French-speaking pirates, who called their Caribbean pork feat “de barbe et queue.” Translated, it means “from beard to tail,” reflecting the fact that the hog was an eminently versatile animal that could be consumed from head to toe. Today, barbecue translates into delicious pork on the grill. What was the key staple food for Washington’s troops at Valley Forge? — Salt pork from New Jersey was shipped behind British lines to Valley Forge to feed the hungry Continental Army in the winter of 1776-77. Where did the saying “living high on the hog” come from? — The saying originated among army enlisted men, who received shoulder and leg cuts while officers received the top loin cuts.
“No man should be allowed to be president who does not understand hogs,” President Harry Truman. Pork production facts What’s the top price ever paid for a hog? — The highest known price paid for a hog was $220,000 at the 2001 Summer Type Conference. The pig, bred by Todd Creager of Ohio, sold to Lifeline Genetics of Oklahoma. The heaviest hog ever was a Poland China hog named “Big Bill,” weighed 2,552 pounds and measured 9 feet long. The owner of this hefty hog was Burford Butler of Jackson, Tenn., in 1933. The average market weight of today’s lean hogs is around 265 pounds. The longest single sausage was over a mile long measured at 5,917 feet. It was cooked in Barcelona, Spain, on Sept. 22, 1986. A 265-pound live pig will yield about 200 pounds of pork. This information was provided by the Minnesota Pork Board.

From the Fields: Beginning the harried fall pace By KRISTIN KVENO The Land Correspondent
we expected,” no bumper crop is anticipated for them this year.
The countdown is on for Danny Brandt: only 150 acres of soybeans left to harvest.
Messner hopes to start combining soybeans next week. “Beans I’m expecting to be disappointing.” Good or bad crop, he just wants to “get through the year.” It has been a long growing season and thankfully the end is in sight.
The Brandts Ada, Minn.
Brandt will be juggling many harvests at once these next few weeks. He runs beet harvest from 2 a.m. to 2 p.m. then takes a couple of hours to rest and get back in the combine for beans. He is cognizant of the need to get an adequate amount of sleep during what can be a sleep-deprived time of year. This is especially important to Brandt when he is operating a beet truck “I try to get a decent amount of sleep.” He has found that “12 hour (shifts) work well for us.” Those hours allow for some rest and more combining of beans. The bean yields have been “a little better than we thought,” Brandt said. In the 00932 variety he has found between 10 and 10.5 percent moisture. The harvest has been going well; even with the estimated 1.7 to 2 inches of rain the past weekend the “ground is still so dry.” The dry ground has allowed for a smooth harvest “the bins seemed to be filling pretty fast,” Brandt said. “As soon as I’m done with beans, we’ll start corn,” Brandt said. This overlapping of harvest doesn’t overwhelm Brandt at all. “I enjoy the challenge of getting everything harvested.”
“Where Farm and Family Meet”
Messner is optimistic that in the next few weeks harvest time will be in full swing and the bounty, however good, will be in either in the bins or off to the elevator.
The Land spoke Danny Brandt with Brandt on Oct. 1 as he was predicting that he would be done with bean harvest the next day. Even with trying to finish bean harvest Brandt was also awaiting the start of sugar beet harvest which was to begin at 2 a.m. Oct. 2. Harvest mode is definitely on at the Brandt farm.
The Johnsons Starbuck, Minn.
The Laubenthals Swea City, Iowa
Soybean harvest for Scott Johnson has shown that “yields are pretty variable.” This was to be expected as he combined bean fields that were hit heavily by hail this summer, Scott Johnson along with those that remained fairly unscathed. Johnson estimates that the beans ranged from average to just-belowaverage yields. The hail-damaged bean yields weren’t surprising to Johnson as “we knew there wasn’t going to be much there.” The Land spoke with Johnson on Oct. 1 as he was in the midst of bean harvest. As soon as Johnson wraps up bean harvest, he will start on corn. The recent weather has allowed the corn to dry out significantly in Johnson’s fields. He expects, if all goes well, that corn harvest will take three to four weeks to complete. “Last year we did it just shy of three weeks and that was fast,” Johnson said. The warm weather and some rain has helped all around for Johnson — “The moisture we have had made tillage go good,” he said. Rain is expected for later this week and John-
son, who wanted rain many times over this growing season, would like it to stay away now. Harvest is here and he’d like to finally have the weather cooperate to get these crops out of the ground.
The Messners Northfield, Minn.
Chris Messner took the opportunity to ride with a fellow farmer in their combine as they began corn harvest. He found corn averaging Chris Messner anywhere from 150 bushels an acre on bad ground to 185 bushels an acre on good ground. When The Land spoke with Messner on Oct. 1 he pointed out that the corn crop is “not a great crop, but not a horrible one.” He’ll wait until the expected rain this weekend to begin harvest in his own fields.
Working a day job and harvesting at night is all in a day’s (and night’s) work for Charlie Laubenthal. With the goal of Charlie Laubenthal being done with harvest by Thanksgiving, he’s happy to get started. The Land spoke with Laubenthal on Sept. 30, the day after he began combining corn. With 300 acres harvested he was finding moisture levels at 20 percent for the 102-day corn. Laubenthal is predicting that “we’ll see corn (yields) across the board.” It’s just going to be one of those years, he said. With weather expected to be in the 80s for a few more days, then a chance of frost by the weekend, “that’s pretty normal,” Laubenthal said. “Normal,” this year, is a welcome term as this growing season for Laubenthal has been anything but normal.
The warmer weather the past few weeks has “matured a lot of this corn we were concerned about,” Messner said. The corn harvest for Messner will be “a little later than normal.”
He hopes to start soybean harvest in 10 days. He plans to harvest corn for a week or two, then switch to beans before switching back to corn. The switching back and forth “goes pretty quick,” Laubenthal said. Though he points out that you “have to put your different thinking cap on.”
Anxious to get harvest under way, Messner is “checking every day” on the condition of the corn crop. Though he knows that “the corn is around what
Laubenthal has been grateful for the favorable weather this fall. “Not having a frost has been in our favor. I’m pretty thankful for that.” ❖

Selling health: Harvesting swine tissue for human benefit By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Get into a conversation with Dave Theis and you quickly realize pig cells can be the future of healthier swine and also healthier people. Dave and his wife, Terry, operate Midwest Research Swine with a special laboratory facility, Midwest Porcine Recovery at Glencoe, Minn. Once upon a time this husband-wife team were pig farmers in the Gibbon, Minn., area. In fact they still maintain a swine herd on their farm. But it’s the story, constantly unfolding, at Midwest Research Swine, that grabs your attention. Like Theis simply said, “I sell health.” In much abbreviated terms, this outfit collects swine tissue for biomedical uses from four specially selected swine producers. This tissue becomes the raw material for major medical providers dealing in the multi-million dollar industry of new technologies to enhance human health.

Admitting to being a few pounds overweight, he visualizes his local doctor telling him, “Dave, in six months you’ve got to have a bypass.” As Theis said, this means ripping veins out of his legs and transplanting them back into his body in his heart cavity. Instead Theis tells this doctor, “Hey just a minute. I can go to my pig factory, get some pig veins, remove all the cells from those veins, then reimplant these with vascular cells from my own body and within six months I’ll have normally functioning blood vessels and you haven’t had to cut into my body.” His firm is also providing tissue for porcine surgical mesh implants.

As an example, MRS provides healthy pigs for these companies to use in their own research and development work for the discovery of various swine vaccines already on the market, and perhaps yet to come. MRS processes about 200 hogs per week to provide the porcine tissue and organs used in their work. Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome continuous as the mostly costly disease in the entire swine industry. As yet no working vaccines have been developed. But negative piglets from one of the providers to MRS could likely be the seedstock for the eventual discovery of a PRRS vaccine. MRS is recognized nationwide within the medical health industry, plus colleges and universities conducting exploratory research on human and animal health challenges. Porcine tissue from MRS also travels worldwide which includes Australia, the Pacific Rim countries, the UK, etc. “Hardly a day goes by that a piece of our pig doesn’t get shipped somewhere,” Theis said with a laugh.

Four Minnesota swine producers with York-Landrace sow herds inseminated with Duroc semen provide live hogs for this research work. These are closed herds providing conception-controlled genetics. These herds meet U.S. Food and Drug Administration and International ISO Donor Requirements for porcine tissue. Why swine for this unique research work? Because the pig is an excellent model with body functions much like that of the human species, Theis said, noting that valves from pig hearts have long been used in human heart valve replacement surgery because rejection of the pig valve is never an issue.

PED control involves better manure handling By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Though not truly of epidemic status, attention to porcine epidemic diarrhea continues to ramp up as the virus continues to spread. PED virus is a viral enteric swine disease with these symptoms: diarrhea, fever, vomiting and death (age dependent). Adding to the challenge is the fact that these symptoms are indistinguishable from transmissible gastroenteritis. TGE and PED are both coronaviruses, but cross immunity is not provided with infection of either virus according to Kansas State University and the Iowa Pork Industry Center. “It’s a rather devastating disease,” said Lee Johnston, University of Minnesota swine scientist at the West Central Research and Outreach Center at Morris, “especially within farrowing operations with suckling pigs. Relating to the earlier days of TGE outbreaks, PED is that bad and worse.” Most PED outbreaks in Minnesota so far have been in the heavy hog areas of the southern two tiers of counties. Johnston made the point that even though the incidence is heavier in those high-pig population areas, the entire Minnesota swine industry is now so interconnected with pig movements that without good safeguards PED can springboard anywhere.
He said that it is both a good animal husbandry practice and a good neighbor policy for all pork farmers with pigs exhibiting clinical signs of PED to obtain a confirmed diagnosis Lee Johnston and immediately establish enhanced biosecurity practices to avoid spreading the virus within their own animals or to neighboring swine herds. “The virus can travel on equipment or vectors fairly easily if one isn’t careful,” Johnston said. “There is not yet a vaccine for the disease. And I’m not aware of any particular PED disinfectant that is most effective but the following products will inactivate the virus: Clorox, Virkon S, Tek-Trol and 1Stroke Environ.” He said that PED has been an issue in swine production in Asia for many years. However, he’s not aware of research data that talks of PED’s virulence in stored and spread manure but, because of similarities to TGE virus recommendations for control of disease spread, these same practices should be considered for PED virus control. “The issue with PED is that it is so new that we don’t have data confirming how long shedding of the virulence to occur. We don’t know how long it will take for a producer’s herd to develop
immunity once an infection gets on the premises,” Johnston said. The risk of spreading the virus through manure application should be a concern, however, because PED is spread through oral-fecal contact, manure-contaminated boots, clothing, transport trailers and other equipment. So what to do? Communication and education is the starting point, Johnston said. “It starts with everyone involved in the Minnesota pork industry getting tuned in to biosecurity practices. And that especially includes custom manure applicators.” He described these issues as being a good moral and ethical thing to do, plus it’s a good business decision by individual custom applicators. Relating to increased communication between the producer and the custom applicator, Johnston said questions need to be raised, such as: • When are you coming? • Where have you been? • What’s the route and the path from your last job to my farm? • Are you crossing paths with trucks that are bringing in pigs? “The whole idea is to keep other traffic away from the manure haulers’ traffic,” he said. “It starts with a good understanding between the custom applicator’s staff and the hog producer’s people on the biosecurity meas-
ures of that particular hog farm.” Recommendations from Michigan State University include: • Clean, disinfect and dry manure pumping and application equipment, including tractor cabs when moving between farms and farm sites. • All employees (both farm and custom applicators) working with manure application equipment should change into clean clothes, and clean and disinfect footwear when moving between farms and farm sites. • Custom manure applicators should not be allowed access to pigs or to barn entry. Ensure the custom manure applicators has a phone number to reach you with questions. • Employees and producers handling manure should shower and change into clean clothes and footwear, prior to accessing pigs. • During field application, fully cover manure with soil by managing injection equipment and application rates to avoid manure boiling up in the injection slot and leaking on headlands. This will limit the possible transfer of the disease by birds and wildlife. Veterinarians and swine specialists acknowledge that PED will most likely continue to move through the U.S. swine herd. Improved biosecurity practices while handling manure will help limit the spread of the disease, Johnston said. ❖
of pork produced in 1959, versus the 22.8 billion pounds produced in 2009. “The industry achieved that increased production through enhanced environment, better genetics and improved diets,” she said. Lean is in in the battle against obesity in America, and pork producers have come to the table by improving their product. A lean pork product has also aided the consumer in the kitchen. “A lean pork leads to shorter cooking times,” Lindemann said. With leaner cuts, pork is now recommended to be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 F, followed by a threeminute rest. “It’s OK for pork to have pink inside.” She added that ground pork should be cooked to an internal temperature on 160 F. Consumers are now encouraged to “Be Inspired” as they bring pork into their kitchens. Along with the new “Be Inspired” pork slogan, there are new names for your favorite pork cuts.
(Turn to Page 16A for more information on these new cut names.) Nutritionists on hand were concerned about the use of pharmaceuticals in the livestock and the possibility that they may get into the food supply. “We (Wakefield Pork) work closely with the Swine Vet Center in St. Peter (Minn.) to ensure the health of our herd,” she said. She answered the overuse of antibiotics concern telling her audience “we don’t want to overuse antibiotics because they’re expensive and we’d go broke.” She also explained that pork producers strictly abide by the labels of the pharmaceuticals when they are used, adhering to withdrawal guidelines before an animal can be marketed for processing. Lindemann has been with OMS since 2005, and has given 34 such presentations. More information of the OMS can be found at www.pork.org or www.facebook.com/OMS.Speakers. ❖

ROAST, from pg. 14A occasionally stirring sweet potato mixture, until instant-read food thermometer inserted in center of roast reads 145 F and the potatoes and pears are tender, about 1 hour more. Transfer pork to carving board. Transfer sweet potato mixture to ovenproof bowl, tent with aluminum foil and keep warm in turned-off oven. (If needed, increase oven temperature to 400 F, and continue roasting sweet potato mixture until tender, up to 15 minutes longer.) Let pork stand for 10 to 15 minutes. Heat roasting pan over high heat. Add cider, bring to a boil, scraping up browned bits in pan with wooden spoon, and boil until reduced to 3/4 cup, about 5 minutes. Pour into sauceboat. Carve pork. Transfer to serving platter, surround with sweet potato mixture, drizzle with 3 tablespoons of cider sauce, and sprinkle with rosemary. Serve with remaining sauce on the side. * Tip: If you desire to tie the roast, cotton kitchen twine (also called butcher’s twine) is handy to have on hand for a number of chores, especially tying roasts to help them keep their shape during cooking. If you don’t have it, use unwaxed and unflavored dental floss. ** Substitute 1 cup apple juice and 1/2 cup dry vermouth for the hard cider, or use all apple juice. 12 3-ounce servings Serving suggestions For a delicious alternative to the pears, substitute for a tart green apple, such as Granny Smith. Instead of rosemary alone, you could combine it with sage and thyme, for a slightly more complex flavor. To balance the naturally sweet flavors in the pork dish, bake a savory casserole of bread dressing with pork sausage, onions and herbs. Green vegetables should be simple and along the lines of sautéed green beans with toasted almonds, or steamed and sautéed Brussels sprouts with hazelnuts.

NPB announces new pork cuts naming system You may have noticed a new Porterhouse in a meat case near you. Following approval from the Industry-Wide Cooperative Meat identification Standards Committee, consumers started to see a new set of names for their favorite fresh cuts of pork at retailers nationwide. Home cooks now have an easier time selecting and preparing juicy, tender and flavorful pork. Before the renaming process took shape, the National Pork Board and the Beef Checkoff Program collaborated to conduct in-depth research over an 18-month period. The research showed that con-
sumers are often confused by the different names for similar cuts of meat and subsequently, do not know what to do with or how to cook a variety of cuts. As a solution, the National Pork Board simplified the pork cut names and included basic usage and preparation information on the package. New pork names include: Porterhouse Pork Chop (Previous name: Loin Chop) Ribeye Pork Chop, Bone-In (Previous name: Rib Chop Center)

Pioneer cookbook showcases the prairie’s bounty Cookbook Corner By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent Early white settlers to our Midwestern plains had to make do with what they could get in this land of seasonal extremes. Sometimes they would feast, slaughtering pigs and harvesting bushels of produce; other times they would starve, with no fresh food for weeks. They appreciated every bite and used up every scrap. Their food was simple but tasty, nourishing and, since they grew it themselves, low cost, aside from all the work involved. The University of Nebraska Press’s old “Nebraska Pioneer Cookbook” (1974) showcases some of the cooking techniques, recipes and the ingredients available to these home cooks. While the settlers did not have access to a modern convenience store, they managed quite nicely — most of the time — with the bounty of the prairie. “Nineteenth-century housewives

cookbooks use quaint measurements, too: Here, a speck equals one-fourth of a saltspoon; four saltspoons equals one teaspoon. Four tablespoons equals one wineglass; two wineglasses equals one gill; and two gills equal one cup. Most folks I know would take issue with four tablespoons equaling one wineglass. Just sayin’. ■ Fruit leather has been around long before the ubiquitous Fruit Rollups, but the homemade variety tastes a lot better. If you have a lot of extra fruit of almost any kind, try this recipe that uses the awesome power of solar energy to preserve it. Peach Leather Measure one-half cupful of sugar for each pound of peeled, stoned peaches. Put fruit and sugar into a kettle, bring slowly to a boil, and simmer until most of the moisture has cooked away, mashing to a smooth paste as they cook. Oil a large china platter, cover with a piece of muslin, and spread the cooked peaches on it in a thin layer. Put the paste in the sun until thoroughly dry, then roll it in the cloth and store in a cool, dry place. To eat, unroll and tear off pieces. ■ These days we grab a bottle of ketchup off the grocery shelf. Not so long ago, if you wanted ketchup, you had to be prepared to stir your boiling concoction for three hours constantly in the sweltering heat of August with no air conditioning. And probably a dozen kids underfoot. Tomato Catsup To half a bushel of skinned tomatoes, add one quart of good vinegar, one pound of salt, a quarter of a pound of black pepper, two ounces of African cayenne, a quarter of a pound of allspice, six good onions, one ounce of cloves and two pounds of brown sugar. Boil this
mass for three hours, constantly stirring it to keep it from burning. When cool, strain it through a sieve. ■ I love curry, and I love eggs, so why not try Curried Eggs? This simple dish starts with a quick curry sauce to which you add fried onions and hard-boiled eggs. It was great on toast and would work for breakfast, lunch or our choice, a light supper. The family agreed: four “yums” for curried eggs, especially with a garden salad and fresh fruit for dessert. Our plates looked beautiful and the bold flavors were fantastic. Curried Eggs Cut a couple of onions in slices and fry them to a light golden color in plenty of butter. Add one tablespoonful curry powder and a sprinkling of flour, moisten with a cupful of chicken stock, and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Then add six hard-boiled eggs cut in slices, simmer for a few minutes longer, and serve. ■ I can’t think of a single person who doesn’t like apples. They’re one of the first solid foods we eat from the cradle and also one of the last as we near the grave. When apples were in season, the pioneers ate a lot of them: in pies, cobblers, cider, crisps and super-moist cakes like this one. Dutch Apple Cake Two cups of flour, three teaspoonfuls baking powder, one tablespoonful sugar, one-fourth teaspoonful salt, four tablespoonfuls fat (shortening or lard), one egg, one cup of milk. Mix all dry ingredients and cut in the fat. Add the egg and milk, pour into a shallow greased pan, and cover with topping made as follows. Cook one and one-half cups sliced apples in one-half cup of water, slowly, for five minutes. Add one teaspoonful ground cinnamon mixed with one-half cup sugar and two tablespoonfuls butter, and cook two minutes more. Cool and spread on soft dough and bake 20 minutes in moderate oven. ■ Mashed potatoes plus flour make a delicious dumpling that’s versatile and cheap. You could serve these a different way each day of the week and really get a good day’s worth of work out of your farmers. This recipe tells how to make a basic potato dumpling; the way you season it is up to you. Personally I like to fry a couple of teaspoons of diced onions in a cup of butter until brown, then stir in a handful of bread crumbs for a brown butter sauce.

Then, add back your vegetable mix and all of the remaining ingredients, except the chocolate. Simmer with lid off for 3 to 4 hours, occasionally stirring. Then, add the chocolate. A red wine holds up well against these rich flavors, such as a Shiraz, Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon.

Pet Talk: Pets are perfect companions for the elderly The power of pet therapy is thought to be stronger than any medication, not only for people going through tough times or in poor health, but also for the elderly as well. Proven to increase mental alertness, build self-esteem and decrease loneliness, pets can provide a warm and fulfilling relationship. “Pet ownership for older people can be very beneficial by giving them something to love and care for, as well as a companion in the home, especially if they live alone,” said Sonny Presnal, director of the Stevenson Companion Animal Life-Care Center at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences. Having the responsibility of caring for a pet can be a healthy situation for most elderly people. Sometimes, a pet can be the only reason that he or she feels a need to get up in the morning; it provides them with a sense of purpose. “It gives older pet owners something to care for, which in the case of a dog may mean they are out taking the dog on a walk instead of sitting in the house,” Presnal said. In addition, there are many studies that attribute pet ownership to relieving stress, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and bettering mental health. When choosing a pet, you must take into consideration the limitations of the elderly person’s physical and mental health. “A large, active dog may not be suitable for older people, due to the risk of injury to the owner from an accidental collision that may cause them to
fall,” Presnal said. “Fractures from falls can be very dangerous for older people, especially hip fractures.” A young puppy or kitten may not be a suitable choice either, due to their high maintenance requirements. An older dog or cat that has matured past their “ball of energy” phase can be a perfect companion. Not only does adopting an older pet benefit their owner, but it may save the pet from euthanasia, as often people are not interested in adopting older animals. A concern that many elderly people considering pet ownership face is the possibility that they will no longer be able to care for their pet later on. This can happen if their health suddenly decreases, or if the animal becomes in need of extensive veterinary care. “There are many mobile veterinary services available for older persons who may not drive or who otherwise have problems transporting their pets for veterinary care,” Presnal said. There are also programs that provide for the physical, emotional and medical needs of companion animals when their owners can no longer do so. The right pet can provide an older owner with a sense of purpose, nonjudgmental acceptance and companionship that both animals and humans need to stay happy and comfortable.

simply must move into action.” Yet there’s nothing easy or convenient about moving into action. In brutal winters, just moving at all feels like a laborious chore. Give me a bowl of buttery popcorn, a bulky sweater to cover up the consequence of that choice, and a comfy chair, and I can be talked out of “being the somebody who ought to be doing something” faster than you can say Orville Redenbacher. In his book, “Spiritual Rhythm,” Mark Buchanan tells a story about a radio station featuring live music by local musicians. One night the station featured a small chamber ensemble, led by an elderly man. The man was slow, fumbling, and unprepared. The airwaves opened, but the only thing projected was silence as the man groped clumsily for his music, trying
to find his place. Dead space. It’s the radio’s fiercest foe. Not realizing that his microphone was on, the radio host muttered, “Get on with it, you old goat!” Buchanan writes, “The entire audience heard. Included among them was a man, elderly himself, who’d been a Christian most his life. But he was fruitless. He heard the radio host’s outburst as a direct word from God. And he got on with it.” If you’re not already doing so, it’s time we do the same. There’s a long list of things that need action. Some of them are really big assignments — helping orphans in Haiti or becoming foster parents and helping the children within our own land, delivering meals to shut-ins, helping those with developmental disabilities, and doing our part to defeat the horrors of human trafficking. If that’s not enough, try something really big and crazy: forgive a family member, restore a friendship, shut off the TV and talk and listen to your spouse and/or your kids. Get on it with it. Sow the seeds of abundant living. Tomorrow’s harvest depends on it. Lenae Bulthuis is a wife, mom and friend who muses from her back porch on a Minnesota grain and livestock farm. ❖

since 2012, more than 171,000 acres of CRP acres in Minnesota have been converted to crop production with nearly 64,000 acres within the pheasant range. While an accelerated land acquisition program funded through the Legacy Amendment and other programs offset some of those losses, there still was a net loss statewide of 153,328 acres of grasslands. As it stands, political factions within Congress have been unable to come together to craft a new farm bill.

By Sharon Quale We flew to Seattle and sailed to Glacier Bay with stops at Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan, and Victoria in Canada. Our first exposure to Alaskan gardening was in Juneau where we toured some local gardens. They have shared community areas they label as “postage stamp gardens.” Soil is nearly non-existent along the coast so the gardens are tiny by our standards. They use compost and mulch extensively. We can be thankful for our abundant soil. In Sitka we visited a rain forest and hiked up inclines only a muscled donkey should climb. The reward was enchanting beauty. The area has no wild fires because of the humidity, so wind becomes the major tool for forest renewal. The wind does its job and fells some huge old trees. They lie on the forest floor with their root wad exposed. That huge root wad is filled with soil and nutrients and quickly becomes a natural fairy garden with tiny ferns, mosses and all manner of tree seedlings enjoying the lush environment. Ketchikan was bustling and fun. Two of us spent big bucks for a float plane ride to an island in the

Tongass National Forest to watch bears feed on the abundant salmon. Alas, Ketchikan had experienced a drought all summer and the salmon lost some of their spawning water. The bears must have found other food. We saw no bears. We saw bear dens and a few salmon spawning. The guide said, “You know they (bears) are wild animals — you can’t expect to always see them.” I differed with him and equated big dollar expenditures to seeing bears as advertised. Our last stop was Butchart Gardens in Canada. We arrived at 6 p.m. and enjoyed the sunken garden but it was too dark to see most of the other areas. Fortunately I visited Victoria last year and saw those spectacular gardens in daylight. Part of our time was spent attending lectures on gardening trends and new landscape ideas. One keynote speaker titled his talk “Salmon Trees.” Well, I’ve never heard of a salmon tree and was pleasantly surprised to hear the lecture detailing how everything recycles in nature. Salmon are eaten by bears, birds and other mammals. The nutrients brought by the salmon are spread far and wide in the forest ecosystem. Trees in this enriched environment grow at an astonishing rate giving rise to the term “salmon trees.” Many of you readers, I’m sure, have been to Alaska.

In 1974, they moved onto 28 acres of weeds and woods in South Vermont. They named their estate North Hill, and set about making gardens, arbors and meals. They planted four different kinds of apple trees, each “near sticks” when put in the ground. Those trees yield snacks and — ultimately — pies and sauce. Their spinach crop is good, but not as good as they had in Pepperell; then again, spinach is tricky. Beets were used for salads and sides; carrots were found wild and cultivated; roadside “weeds” became delicious meals; and while they once grew unusual kinds of potatoes, they gladly saw their favorites become national staples. They raised pigs (“Showering with a pig is not a common experience”), beef and chickens; and delighted in Brussels sprouts in winter, rhubarb in spring, lettuce all summer long, and onions in the fall. “No matter how excellent … the produce of your best local supermarket may be,” they say, “there is something deeply rewarding to growing your own food …” Partly a love letter to the earth, and partly a paean to good eating, “To Eat” is one of those delicious little books that, like a great meal, you’ll want to savor. With the circumspection of veteran gardeners, Eck and Winterrowd (who has since died) share their observations about growing plants, livestock and together.

The following market analysis is for the week ending Oct. 4. CORN — The end of the month and quarter presented us with a bearish Grain Stocks as of Sept. 1 U.S. Department of Agriculture report which pushed prices to their lowest level for a lead contract since September 2010. Sept. 1 stocks of 824 million bushels equate to the ending stocks for the 2012-13 crop year. This was an increase of 163 million bushels from the September crop report, 143 million bushels higher than the trade estimate, and higher than even the largest trade forecast. This confirms the NYSTROM historical correlation that the PHYLLIS CHS Hedging Inc. USDA’s number is usually higher St. Paul than what the market expects. No balance sheets were issued on this report; however, this week’s number implies June-August feed/residual usage was a record low at 257 million bushels. Many are perplexed by the implication, but since feed is a residual calculation, it is what it is. It also brings into doubt the feed usage estimate for the 2014 crop year; it may be 50 million bushels too high. The report sent prices sharply lower, and in combination with a slow uptick in corn harvest progress, prices retreated to new contract lows. The first government shutdown since 1995-96 didn’t have a direct impact on grain markets in the early days of the closure, but the absence of various government reports will have an effect moving forward. An estimated 800,000 to 1 million federal workers were furloughed until Congress comes to a spending agreement.

The livestock markets start October still captured within trading ranges that have been in place for several months. The prospect of breaking out of these trading ranges seems remote at this time. Cattle prices seem to be on a slow roller coaster as prices have been entrapped for months of going up and down in the same range. The fact that cattle numbers are less than a year ago and are facing off against shrinking demand for beef has kept prices basically steady. It would appear that there will be little change in this scenario in the immediate future. The government shutdown has made it more JOE TEALE difficult to ascertain information Broker regarding prices and accurate Great Plains Commodity movement of product and animals. Afton, Minn. The fact that domestic beef movement continues to lag previous years indicates demand for product is still weak. That brings into question the outlook for cattle prices if supply and demand offset each other. That would normally mean that prices will remain relatively steady until there is a significant change in either supply or demand. Therefore, this scenario of offsetting demand and supply will likely keep cattle prices in a range for the near future. The other scenario is that the packers’ profit margin has been in the red for several days now and this puts more pressure on the packer to be more selective in their bidding for live inventory. This is not likely to change until their margins improve. Considering there is a lot of retail resistance to the current level of wholesale beef prices, it is another reason it is likely the current price ranges will remain intact. The hog market has also been on a roller coaster
It’s amazing how things can change so quickly; just a couple months ago we thought we wouldn’t be harvesting our crop until the middle of November. Now, here we are in early October and the combines are rolling and we are seeing fields of soybeans and corn harvested with a wide range of yield results. Pair the yield variances in southeast Minnesota with a dramatically lower fall crop insurance price and this has created some revenue and yield losses this fall. In order to recap what we are looking at for a new fall harvest trigger yield, we need to back up and see what our spring revenue guarantees were with crop insurKRIENER ance.

Pipeline needs beans to keep coming to market NYSTROM, from pg. 29A no harvest progress or crop conditions on Oct. 7. The shutdown brings into question whether the Oct. 11 monthly crop report will be released on time. There are already rumblings that it may be delayed until Oct. 18. As of Sept. 29, corn harvest was only 12 percent complete compared to 23 percent complete on average. Illinois was reported at 13 percent complete, South Dakota 11 percent, Nebraska 9 percent, Iowa 5 percent, Minnesota 2 percent and Wisconsin 3 percent complete. Harvest progress is projected to hit 20 percent by Oct. 6 as rain moves across the Midwest and forecasts for another system by the middle of the coming week. Weekly ethanol production was reported at 875,000 barrels per day, up 43,000 barrels/day from last week. There has been no word from the Environmental Protection Agency on the 2014 ethanol mandate, saying only that it will be released sometime in October. With the government shut-
down we have to wonder if they will make that deadline. As the week drew to a close, Informa Economics released updated balance sheets. They raised their corn yield to 158.8 bu./acre, up from their September forecast of 157.2 bu./acre and 3.3 bu./acre higher than the USDA’s September 155.3 bu./acre outlook. Informa adjusted planted corn acres 1.4 million acres lower than the USDA to 96 million acres to achieve a crop of 14.01 billion bushels. This compares with the last USDA projection of 13.843 billion bushels. OUTLOOK: Yield reports continue to come in as expected or higher. Trade chatter is that the corn yield will increase when we finally see the October USDA report. As we had cautioned before, the likely background of a bigger crop and now with a higher carry-in, it’s difficult to get friendly for nearby prices. It’s early in harvest and although it’s expected growers will store as much corn as they can, prices are likely to lean
Hedge off table on Nov. 1 KRIENER, from pg. 29A insurance payments. Fall Price x Trigger Yield = Guaranteed Revenue Estimated $4.39 price x 195.6/bu. (new yield trigger due to lower prices) = $858.80 80 percent RP Policy Estimated $4.39 price x 207.9/bu. (new yield trigger due to lower prices) = $912.48 85 percent RP Policy The dramatic downward shift in price has triggered a substantial increase of 43 to 46 bushels in our trigger yield. If corn prices hold around $4.39, the previous example shows that we’ll start to collect revenue losses with yields below 195.6/bu. (80percent policy) and 207.9/bu. (85-percent policy,) respectively. Soybeans fundamentally work the same way: Soybean spring price was determined during February looking at the November futures contract. The soybean fall or harvest price is currently determined during October utilizing the November futures contract. Currently the November futures are running at $12.88 which is close to the $12.87 spring price. However, the market can move quickly so we will have to wait and see how things come out by the end of October. At this point it certainly appears that a large percentage of farmers will have some sort
lower for now as long as the crop isn’t threatened. December corn fell 10 3/4 cents to settle at $4.43 1/4 per bushel for the week. First support in the December contract is this week’s low of $4.35, but with so much harvest ahead of us and improving yield reports, the $4.25 level still beckons. Resistance lies first at this week’s high at $4.62 per bushel. It’s a balance this year of a bigger than anticipated crop versus grower’s reluctance or need to sell. SOYBEANS — Bearish sentiment carried over to the soybean stocks report when Sept. 1 stocks were found to be 141 million bushels. This was larger than the highest pre-report projection, 17 million bushels larger than the average expectation, and 16 million bushels higher than the September monthly balance sheets. The negative stocks number combined with bean harvest progress, and fund liquidation were a dark shadow for soybean prices. The one bright spot for prices was that grower selling remains minimal. The USDA revised 2012-13 harvested acres upward by 100,000 acres and increased yield from 39.6 to 39.8 bu./acre. This resulted in an additional 18.6 million bushels of 2012-13 production, bringing total production to 3.034 billion bushels. Varying yield reports are coming in, but in most cases the yield is as expected or better. As of Sept. 29, soybean harvest was 11 percent complete versus 20 percent on average: Illinois 10 percent complete, Iowa 5 percent, Nebraska 13 percent, Minnesota 9 percent, Wisconsin 3 percent, and South Dakota 13 percent. Strong soymeal demand from the

of loss and these losses will vary greatly by area. Be prepared to document your production in case of audit by doing the following this fall. • Measure any unsold old crop that is stored on farm. • Maintain load records or combine/monitor records to verify unit by unit yields. • Maintain all settlement and assembly sheets that verify sales. • Contact your agent for proper protocol. If you’re concerned about any grain quality issues contact your agent regarding proper protocol for all losses. Remember that once Nov. 1 rolls around, a crop insurance hedge is off the table. Any movement lower in the market after Nov. 1, will deteriorate your grain inventory value unless it’s protected by other strategies (options, futures, forward cash sales, etc.).

European Union as South American supplies are already spoken for helped underpin soybean prices. A U.S. bean sale of 113,000 metric tons to China was reported by the USDA on the first day of the shutdown. This was a surprise since China is on their Golden Week holiday and the government was closed. Informa Economics refreshed balance sheets released on Friday were viewed as friendly when they cut their bean yield to 41.7 bu./acre from their last estimate of 42.4 bu./acre; however, it’s still bigger than the USDA’s 41.2 bu./acre September projection. They lowered planted bean acreage by 260,000 acres to approximately 77 million acres. This brings Informa’s production forecast to 3.176 billion bushels, still 27 million higher than USDA’s September figure. OUTLOOK: Similar to corn, soybean yields have been coming in as expected or higher. The pipeline needs beans to keep coming to the market with both exporters and processors (big meal export book is on) needing the commodity. Overall, fund liquidation and ideas of a sub-40 bu./acre yield evaporating had prices retreating. If grower selling does not meet immediate market needs, board prices may have to rebound to attract bushels. November beans filled the gap from $12.72 to $12.72 1/2 this week as it fell as low as $12.63 1/2 per bushel. Harvest delaying rain over the next week should help support prices short-term. November beans dropped 24 3/4 cents this week to close at $12.95 per bushel. This week’s low in the November soybeans at $12.63 1/2 will act as first support with resistance at $13.25 per bushel.

Hog trend likely to hold TEALE, from pg. 29A ride. However the ride in the hog market has been a lot swifter than that of cattle. Hog prices have risen on fewer marketready hogs followed by a steady increase in hog inventories. This led to a sharp rally followed by a steady decline but remaining in a distinct trading range that has been evident for several months. Pork product has been moving fairly well during the entire period of the current trading range, only meeting resistance above the $100 per hundredweight level. On Sept. 27, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released the Quarterly hogs and Pigs Report which indicated the following: all hogs as of Sept. 1, 100
percent; kept for breeding, 100 percent; and kept for marketing, 100 percent. This report was seen as negative as each major category was greater than the pre-report estimates. Subsequently prices tumbled both in cash and futures following this report. So far prices have held in the price range the hog market has been in for months. Given the better demand for pork because of the better value versus competitive meats, this current trading range is likely to hold for the time being. Like the cattle market, any major change in the supply or demand will likely push hog prices outside the current trading range. ❖

Crop revenue flexible lease examples for corn
THE LAND, OCTOBER 11, 2013
The strength in corn and soybean commodity prices in the past few years, and the resulting increases in gross crop income per acre, has caused many landlords to significantly increase cash rental rates in recent years. Many crop producers are now facing the prospects of much lower crop prices for the next few years, FARM PROGRAMS and fear that the gross income By Kent Thiesse per acre in coming years may not be high enough to justify the higher cash rental rates that are currently being charged. In addition, crop input costs for seed, fertilizer, chemicals, fuel and crop drying are not projected to decline much in 2014, as compared to the 2013 crop year, and in fact some expenses may even increase for 2014. An alternative to the proposed high cash rental rates for 2014 and beyond, may be for producers and landlords to consider a “flexible cash lease” rental agreement, which allows the final cash rental rate to vary as crop yields and market prices vary, or as gross revenue per acre exceeds established targets. The use of a flexible cash rental lease is potentially more fair to both the landlord and the farmer, depending on the situation, and how the flexible lease is set up. A “true” flexible cash lease allows for the landlord to receive additional land rental payments above a “base” land rental rate, if the actual crop yields and market prices, or the gross revenue per acre, exceed established “base” figures. A “true” flexible cash lease would also allow for the “base” rent to be adjusted downward, if the actual crop yields and prices, or revenue per acre, fall below the established “base” figures. However, many flexible leases have been modified, and only “flex” upward with added rental payment to the landlords, if the “base” crop yield and prices, or revenue per acre, are exceeded. The modified “base rent plus a bonus” approach is acceptable if the “base” cash rental rates are kept within a reasonable range. Flexible leases also work well for newer or younger farmers who may not be able to afford the higher cash rental rates for farmland. A flexible lease makes it easier to use a crop revenue insurance policy, along with some forward pricing of grain, as risk management tool for farmers. Most ag lenders are quite supportive of the use of flexible leases by farmers, as a risk management tool. A flexible lease, with a fair base rental rate, allows landlords the security of a solid base rental rate, while having the opportunity to share in added profits when yields and crop prices exceed expectations. Flexible leases are a nice alternative for landlords who want to continue to work with long-standing farmers, without setting cash rental rates too high to keep the current tenants. The biggest challenge with flexible cash rental leases is determining the “base rent” per acre, the

Assist crop budgeting with maximum cash rental amount PROGRAMS, from pg. 31A “maximum” (and possible “minimum”) cash rent per acre, and the method to determine the flexible rent payments. The “base rate” should be adjusted upward or downward annually, depending on the projected “breakevens” for crop production in the coming year. The best way to establish the “base” rental rate is to have a rental rate per acre that is agreeable to both the landlord and farmer. Most land grant universities, and some farm management associations, publish annual average land rental rates on a yearly basis, and also have crop budget projections for the coming year, which could be used as a resource for arriving at an equitable “base” rental rate. It is also important for producers to have a maximum cash rental amount, in order to assist them with crop budgeting, grain marketing strategies and crop insurance decisions. Typically maximum annual rental rates in a flexible lease arrangement are $50 to $125 above the base rate. The “base yield” for a crop can be determined by either using the proven yield (APH) for Federal Crop Insurance, which is updated annually, or some other acceptable method of yield determination. Actual yield calculation on the farm can be determined by warehouse receipts, settlement sheets,

scale tickets, bin measurements, grain cart weigh wagons, yield monitors or any other method that is acceptable to both the landlord and farmer. Many times, yield determination requires a certain degree of “trust level” between the landlord and the farmer. In many cases, the “base price” for a crop is the “new crop” price at the local grain elevator or processing plant for that crop on a specified date (example: April 1 for corn and soybeans), and the final price is the price for that crop at the same location on a specified date in the fall (example: Oct. 15). In some cases a weekly or monthly average price at the local level from planting to harvest is used to determine the final price. Another alternative that is easy to follow, is the use the Revenue Protection crop insurance base price for a crop as the “base price” for the flexible lease, and the RP harvest price as the final price, which are based on Chicago Board of Trade futures prices. Whatever method is used to determine both the “base” and final prices should be consistent, using either local cash prices, or RP prices from the CBOT. The details for determining prices and yields should be spelled out in a written land rental agreement that is signed by all parties. With the occurrence of much higher crop input costs in recent years, some flexible cash leases have been modified and are now based on gross revenue triggers that exceed the cost of production, rather than on crop yield and price triggers. In this type of lease the landlord only receives additional cash

rental payments beyond the “base rent” when the final gross revenue per acre (yield x price) exceeds the established cost of production for the year. Typically, the added “flex” rent payment to the landlord would be a set percentage of the added gross revenue per acre above the established cost of production per acre, which is typically about 35 percent for corn, and about 40 percent for soybeans, with a “maximum” rental rate per acre. Just as with crop yields and prices, determining the established cost of production for a crop for the year can be a challenge. Some possibilities would be to use cash flow statements for the year prepared by a farm management adviser, ag lender or the producer themselves. Again many universities and farm management associations have average cost of production data available. There also probably needs to be allowances in a flexible lease to allow for added costs or expenses due to weather or emergencies. There are many other variations to setting up a flexible lease agreement between a landlord and farmer, including using a base crop revenue compared to a harvest crop revenue, without using cost of production, to determine flexible rental rates (see below). The big key, regardless of the flexible lease agreement, is that both the landlord and tenant fully understand the rental agreement, and the calculations that are used to determine the final rental rate. It is also important that flexible lease agreements, as well as all land rental contracts, be finalized with a written agreement. Flexible lease examples There are many examples and variations of “flexible cash rental” contracts and agreements. Following are simple examples of flexible cash rental lease calculations for corn and soybeans in the Upper Midwest. • Cash rental contract with a base cash rental rate (example: $250 per acre), plus the farmer will pay the landlord and additional percentage (example: 35 percent for corn and 40 percent for soybeans) of the amount that the final crop revenue (example: final yield x Oct. 15 local price) exceeds the base crop revenue (example: Crop Insurance APH yield x April 1 new crop local price). (See specific crop revenue flexible lease examples in the tables on Page 31A.) • Cash rental contract with a base cash rental rate (example: $250/acre), plus the producer will pay the landlord an additional amount (example: $25/acre), if actual yield exceeds the APH crop insurance yield by 10 percent or more. (Corn example: APH of 190 bushels per acre, and final yield of 209 bu./acre or higher.) • Cash rental contract with a base cash rental rate (example: $250/acre), plus the producer will pay the landlord an additional amount (example: $25/acre), if harvest-time (example: Oct. 15) local grain price exceeds the base (example: April 1 local grain price) by 10 percent or more. (Soybean example: $12/bu. local price on April 1, and Oct. 15 price of $13.20/bu. or higher.) • Cash rental contract with a base cash rental rate See PROGRAMS, pg. 34A

(example: $250/acre), plus the landlord will receive 35 percent of the excess bushels for corn yields that exceed 190 bu./acre (APH), and 40 percent of the excess bushels for soybean yields that exceed 50 bu./acre (APH). The landlord would be responsible to market their share of the excess bushels. Final corn yield of 210 bushels per acre would result in landlord receiving seven bushels of corn (20 bu. x 0.35). • Cash rental contract with a base cash rental rate (example: $250/acre), and the producer will pay the landlord an additional 35 percent of the difference between final gross crop revenue and the base crop revenue for an RP crop insurance policy. Soybean example Base revenue: $600/acre (50 bu./acre x $12/bu.) Final revenue: $715/acre (55 bu./acre x $13/bu.) Final cash rent: $290.25 per acre ($715/acre - $600/acre = $115/acre x 0.35 = $40.25/acre + $250/acre = $290.25/acre) • Cash rental contract with a base cash rental rate (example: $250/acre), with no additional provisions; however, the producer decides to give the landlord an additional $25 to $100 per acre land rent because of excellent crop yields, and/or good commodity prices. Flexible lease resources Iowa State University has some good resources on flexible cash leases and written cash rental lease contracts, including sample cash rental contracts, which are available on their “Ag Decision Maker” website, located at www.extension.iastate.edu/agdm. For additional information on flexible land rental leases, send an e-mail to me at the address below. Bottom line Utilizing “flexible cash leases agreements” between farmers and landlords can be a good management strategy as an alternative to extremely high straight cash rental rates. However, these agreements need to be fair and equitable to all parties. Landlords also need to be willing to adjust the base cash rental rates lower, if the tighter crop margins that are projected become reality in the next few years. It is important that all aspects of a flexible land rental lease agreement, including base rent, yield and price determination, be spelled out in detail in a written rental contract, which is signed by all parties. Successful “flexible cash lease agreements” have always involved cooperation, trust and good communication between the farmer and the landlord.

izer Conference, Ted Aulich, process chemist at the University of North Dakota Energy and Environmental Research Center, said he was aware of two huge anhydrous production plants soon to be built in North Dakota. “These will be natural-gas based plants with capacities of upwards of 3,000 tons per day, and there may be more,” Aulich said. This development may impact the future viability of wind to ammonia projects which may lead to utilization of wind projects for other products. At the Morris conference he touched on electrolytic nitrogen fertilizer production which takes carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide. “At first impression that may not sound like such a big deal but in the process you are taking CO2, which is a greenhouse gas, to carbon monoxide, which is a fuel, or has value as a chemical intermediate. You can use it as a chemical building block to make other fuels or make other products,” Aulich said. By using wind energy to generate electricity to convert CO2 to CO you are harnessing a renewable energy source and in the process reducing overall carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. There may be some competitive cost-effectiveness advantages. Aulich’s data based on a syngas-based ammonia production capacity of 100 tons per day and 75 percent “process efficiency” showed a $370 per ton total cost. With a market price of $783 for ammonia his data shows a

With special funding from the Minnesota Corn Growers Association this brings focus to these projects at the local level where producers can see direct benefits to their business of growing corn. For example with the use of absorbents, ethanol plants could possibly process the thin stillage byproduct of alcohol production through a digester and produce anhydrous ammonia. Today the stillage is dried and marketed as distillers dried grain soluble. When natural gas prices were escalating, some ethanol plants installed anaerobic digesters as a source of energy as a substitute for natural gas. With the addition of special electrolysis technology, perhaps this digester could also produce NH3 which can be condensed and moved to storage vessels for eventual use as anhydrous ammonia. Tiffany said sharp farmers are zeroing their radar on some of these potential new developments in sourcing fertilizer. Because of the new abundance of natural gas, especially in North Dakota, natural gas may soon be a major feedstock for anhydrous ammonia. Dakota natural gas next provider of anhy?

WCROC looking at a variety of renewable energy research RENEW, from pg. 35A $413 per ton margin for electrolytic ammonia production. Wind to nitrogen fertilizer still a go Even with other potential nitrogen sources on the horizon, the original wind-to-hydrogen-to-ammonia project at WCROC continues to prove its reliability. “We’re seeing technology down the road that can dramatically increase the efficiency of wind generated fertilizer and make it commercially viable,” said Michael Reese, director of renewable energy at WCROC since Day 1. He notes the fertilizer market is moving in the direction that could favor renewable production of ammonia. “We’ve had visitors from World Wild Life for example that are advocating to large companies like General Mills and Coca Cola that they should be reducing their carbon footprint. Coca Cola, for example, could dramatically reduce their carbon footprint from corn syrup by using
renewable fertilizer,” Reese said. This suggests that renewable fertilizers might also be a better choice for farmers. So might larger, regional fertilizer cooperatives consider wind turbines for future ammonia production? “We don’t know the future of wind power for fertilizer production. The ethanol industry in the 1980s didn’t know its future direction but policy and technology came along to make ethanol a tremendous boon for rural Minnesota,” Reese said, inferring wind energy for fertilizer might have the same scenario. Might wind energy also be a precursor to hydrogen fuels? He thinks that if wind energy becomes a big player in ammonia production, it sounds logical that hydrogen for fuel could also be a factor. His point being that if wind is used for hydrogen it gives more flexibility for use of end products. Suffice to say they’re still at the front end of research and development of renewable energy options. “We have

AgStar CEO: Strengthening rural landscape for ag’s sake By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer “Forty years ago the rural community relied on agriculture. Today agriculture relies on rural America.” That comment by AgStar Financial Services CEO Paul DeBriyn explains the surge of rural development activiPaul DeBriyn ties by his firm. Fueled by some financial regulations dating back to 2006, DeBriyn reflected on the growing needs of rural America such as job creation, quality of health care, housing and even including the quality of the rural landscape. “To us it’s about our mission of enhancing life in agriculture in rural America and that starts with enhancing the quality of life for our stockholders, farmers and clients,” DeBriyn said. Now with six years of rural development projects he said that one of the early lessons was the importance of collaboration — with community banks, with economic development leaders in a given community, even with local commodity groups and youth organizations such as FFA and 4-H. Is the competitive nature of today’s agriculture producing more stress in rural America? DeBriyn said, “I’ve been around agriculture for 36 years ...

differences from one farm to the next. “For instance, we had rain the other day that brought 1 inch for one side, 2 inches (toward the middle) and 3 inches on the other side. (Our farmers) have been seeing fields like that,” Rieke said. He said despite this year’s problems, the majority of farmers will breakeven with their harvest last year. He said the combination of periodic early summer rain and less-adverse weather for crops outside of soybeans helped smooth out the year. “(Most) farmers were really hoping to get a higher yield than last year.
Rieke said. According to farmers, the rainy weather over recent weeks will have almost no impact on crops before the harvest. Blue Earth County, Minn., farmer David Malakowsky, who grows both corn and soybeans, said his crops are ready to harvest and the wet conditions have only delayed when he can combine them. He said he plans to be in the fields as soon as he has a couple of dry days. He also said the new moisture came too late to impact the soybean crops. Although most farmers are free from the risk of cold snaps because their crops already matured, Rieke said cold weather could help soybean farmers facing dry beans but green stalks, which are difficult for older combines. He said the cold weather could solve the problems with the stalks and provide farmers with easier work. The Mankato Free Press is a sister publication to The Land under The Free Press Media. ❖
THE LAND, OCTOBER 11, 2013
By JOSH MONIZ Mankato Free Press Regional farmers are cautiously optimistic for a strong harvest this year despite a rainy spring and arid August putting their crops on a tight timeline. Last year, farmers battled a historic drought that held back harvest and drove up the price of corn to around $7 per bushel. This year, the dry weather broke with spring rains providing varying levels of moisture recovery for drought conditions. Corn prices have dropped back down to around $4.50 a bushel. But the needed rain came with a tradeoff: The timing and intensity of the rain forced many farmers to delay planting until late-May, or not at all. Because crops require a minimum growth timeline to reach their optimal yields during the harvest, many delayed farmers face an October, or later, harvest. Unlike September harvests, the late dates run the risk of cold snaps impacting the entire year’s yield. Additionally, the dry weather in August forced soybean crops to mature early, before the seeds were fully developed. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates Minnesota’s soybean harvest will be down 10 percent from last year. The dry August weather also impacted the tentative drought recovery for sporadic fields. Randy Rieke, general manager for the Farmers Co-op of Hanska, Minn., said this has produced night and day

Going nuclear — Operations supervisor talks power By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Jim Carver of Hastings, Minn., for several years has been an operations shift supervisor at the Red Wing, Minn., nuclear energy facility which opened in 1972. Power capacity of a nuclear plant is measured in terms of megawatts. This plant has two generating
units; each rated at 580 megawatts, Carver, senior reactor operator, said in an interview at the Minnesota State Fair. “We shut down about every 18 months between refuelings. This is a steam plant so with each shut down it takes some time to cool down so we can open up the reactive fuel system and work on the equipment,” he said. These shut-downs last from 30 to 45 days, he said.
Carver said nuclear plants are relatively simply to maintain because they are a simple design. “The Red Wing plant is what’s called a pressurized water reactor meaning the water around the reactor coil doesn’t boil. The heat from this water is transferred to a secondary system where it is boiled and turned to steam which is directed through the turbines which turn the generators producing the electricity.” So in simple terms what wears out is the nuclear fuel which results in the “spent fuel rods.” Carver said U.S. nuclear plants operate with low enrichment fuel which relates to how much Uranium 235 is When you look incorporated into the fuel. U235 is the eleat the actual ment which will fisemissions from sion with a single a nuclear plant interaction with and the built-in another neutron, safeguards ... somewhat similar to the function of a the impact of a sparkplug in an nuclear plant internal combustion on its adjacent engine.

A single fuel rod will stay in the reactor core for almost six years,” Carver said.
“Where Farm and Family Meet”
He considers nuclear power to be the cleanest, most reliable and safest source of electrical energy currently available. So why aren’t more nuclear power plants being built in America? A simplistic question but Carver said politics, not environmental issues, are the usual roadblock. “When you look at the actual emissions from a nuclear plant and the built-in safeguards around a nuclear plant, the impact of a nuclear plant on its adjacent environments is nothing compared to other energy sources,” he said, pointing out that technology is now available to take that spent fuel rod and reprocess that fuel turning it into new fuel. And that pretty much negates the issue of where to store and how to handle spent fuel rods, he said. At Red Wing and other commercial reactors the spent fuel rods are stored on-site in spent fuel pools or in large cask containers which are shielded and air cooled. “I have worked with people who have operated coalburning plants. I have been inside coal-fired electrical generating plants and they are disgustingly dirty. Most employees throw their clothes away at the end of their work shift every day,” Carver said. ❖
Finarty: Corn a ‘power-packed energy capsule’
41 A THE LAND, OCTOBER 11, 2013
By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Biofuels are a continuing discussion across America, even at the Clay County Fair in Spencer, Iowa, where the Iowa Corn Growers Association did an educational blitz on Sept. 12 with visiting school children. Mike Finarty was the lead man at the Biofuels Mobile Education Center, showing youngsters exactly what happens to that kernel of corn once it leaves a corn field. “We consider ourselves educators,” Finarty said. “Despite the fact that ethanol now has a 15-year presence in American fuels, there are still misconceptions. ‘Big Oil’ continues to be back-stabbing the American ethanol industry. We’re small business compared to the millions that big oil puts into promotion, especially their negative campaigns about renewable fuels, so we’re always playing catch up. These ‘show-and-tell’ adventures with kids here at the Clay County Fair put the ethanol fuels story in its true perspective.”
He sees cellulosic fuels as a gradual supplement to conventional corn ethanol, but the logistics are huge. “Hauling shelled corn, which is a power-packed energy capsule, versus hauling, storage and handling of cellulosic fuels will be a challenge longterm,” Finarty said. But cellulosic, as the name implies, can be a variety of feedstocks. He mentioned a Florida biorefinery which uses savannah grass. “Yes, cellulosic ethanol is feasible, however the tremendous logistics of handling the feedstocks remains the struggle.”
Mike Finarty made a Sept. 12 stop at the Clay County (Iowa) Fair to educate children about biofuels. cent to the fuel supply, displacing the heart of the problem — high-priced crude oil. In fact, while ethanol is 10 percent of a gallon of gasoline, it accounts for only 5 percent of the pump price. According to the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association, based on a March 2012 $3.85 per gallon regular gasoline price, taxes account for 11 percent, distribution and marketing are 6 percent, refining is 16 percent and the cost of crude oil is 67 percent of the cost of that gallon of gasoline.

False information about ethanol and the ethanol industry is Finarty’s biggest frustration. For example, people often tell him that because of the high price of corn, pump prices for E10 fuel are higher. “In essence these folks are blaming ethanol for the higher prices at the gas pump, yet a study by Iowa State University’s Center for Agriculture and Rural Development reported that without ethanol in the marketplace, fuel prices would actually be $1.69 more per gallon today,” Finarty said.

According to the Energy Information Administration, the greatest contributor to gasoline pump prices is the price of crude oil. Ethanol adds 10 per-
of corn annually. • Iowa produces 20 percent of the U.S. corn crop. • Of the corn planted in the United States, 99 percent is field corn, 1 percent is sweet corn. • Ethanol is Iowa corn’s largest market. • Iowa is the leader in ethanol production doing 30 percent of the U.S. supply. • Ethanol has reduced U.S. dependence on imported oil by 20 percent since 2005. • Using ethanol reduces CO2 emissions by 35 to 49 percent. • Iowa’s top export markets for corn are Mexico, Cuba and Japan. ❖

According to the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association, that $1.69 per gallon adds up to a $2,363 savings for the typical family each year. What does that savings mean to you? For $2,363 the typical family could buy: • Fuel, lodging and fun for an Orlando family vacation • 39 pairs of athletic shoes • 15,753 diapers • 262 movie tickets • Dinner for two at a restaurant for 30 days.

Even with more than 40 ethanol plants already dotting the Iowa landscape, Finarty said there is room for expansion. He admits the Renewable Fuels Standards established by Congress will have to stay in place for ethanol fuels to gradually work into a larger segment of the U.S. petroleum industry. Today biofuels claim only about 10 percent of the total U.S. fuels industry.

POET looking to ‘bale’ out the ethanol industry By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer A big display of big bales greeted visitors walking into the Clay Country Fair at Spencer, Iowa, in September. There were both round and rectangular bales that were stacked three high to resemble a big farm tractor. The bale stack was the attention-getter of POET biorefining which is firing up its multi-million dollar cellulosic bio-ethanol plant at Emmetsburg, Iowa (just 25 miles down the road from Spencer) for an early 2014 start. B.J. Schany, commodity-biomass manager, said, “we see this as the next step in making American agriculture even more of a major player in the fuel and energy needs of America. ... We’re pretty much maxed out on building more corn ethanol plants. But to keep reducing our dependency on imported oil, this cellulosic plant at Emmetsburg we believe will be the new direction.” This new bio-refinery at full design capacity will be able to produce 20 million gallons of ethanol yearly from a feedstock source which will be predominantly corn cob bales harvested from farm fields within a 50-mile radius of Emmetsburg. Note the emphasis on corn cob bale. To maintain a healthy soil most of the stover will be left in the field. Balers will concentrate on harvesting just the corn cob portion dropped immediately behind the combine which, according to Schany, amounts to only about 1 ton per acre. He indicated the plant will need about 270,000 acres of corn to meet this goal. Farmers will have options on bale type, either round or rectangular. Also a contract package that lets the farmer do the baling, the stacking, and even the delivery month (with different prices each month) to the refinery. Or POET also offers a “Custom Model” which simply means the farmer calls

All forms of baled cellulosic materials have been researched as the next source of ethanol. POET is looking at bales of mainly corn cobs, leaving the stover in the fields.
POET when corn harvest is completed. “We’ll then come and bale his fields, stack the bales near a roadside driveway, and then haul to the plant at a later date,” Schany said. Schany said there is no preference for bale shape. “What we need is tons of cellulosic material, regardless the shape of the product,” he said. Contrary to the dried distillers grains with solubles feeds produced in conventional corn ethanol plants, there will be no byproduct feed from this cellulosic refinery. However, because this plant will be a net energy producer, some biogases will be pulled off to fuel the DDGs dryers of the ethanol plant adjacent to this new facility. “It just makes sense to build these cellulosic plants adjacent to the corn plants to make multiple use of this extra energy,” Schany said. POET has 27 ethanol plants across the Midwest so plenty of opportunity for cellulosic “addon.” Schany was matter-of-fact about the economics of this next generation of energy production, recognizing that construction and start-up costs will greatly exceed revenue for an initial period of time. “However we firmly believe this is the next step of renew-

We really believe that this is a renewable, sustainable process that we think is the next step to making America free of expensive and sometimes chaotic imports,” Schany said. From a prepared news release, POET President Jeff Lautt described this as “more than a decade of research from scientists and engineers that without farmers would not even be a dream.” He said that POET partnered with Royal DSM, a company from the Netherlands, which has both the enzymes and the yeast needed to convert the sugars to ethanol. “This is a new version of living off the land,” said a Royal DSM spokesperson. Iowa Sen. Jack Kibbie at a March ceremony had said, “Renewable fuels bring $14 billion to Iowa.

The September federal order Class III benchmark milk price is $18.14/cwt., up 23 cents from August, 86 cents below September 2012, $1.49 above California’s comparable 4b cheese milk price, and equates to about $1.56 per gallon. The 2013 Class III average now stands at $17.76, up from $16.54 at this time a year ago, and compares to $18.28 in 2011, $14.07 in 2010, and $10.49 in 2009. The October Class III futures price was trading late Friday morning at $18.16; November, $18; and December at $17.25/cwt. The FO Class IV price is $19.43, up 36 cents from August, $2.02 above a year ago, and the highest it’s been since September 2011. The 2013 Class IV average now stands at $18.49, up from $15.23 a year ago and compares to $19.48 in 2011, $14.70 in 2010, and $10.06 in 2009. The four-week, AMS-surveyed cheese price used in calculating the September milk prices was $1.7961 per pound, up 2.3 cents from August. Butter averaged $1.4263, up almost a penny. Nonfat dry milk averaged $1.8085, up 3.8 cents, and dry whey averaged 57.91 cents, up 1.3 cents. California’s comparable 4b cheese milk price is $16.65/cwt., up 33 cents from August but 85 cents below September 2012. The 2013 4b average now stands at $16.10, up from $14.69 at this time a year ago and compares to $16.48 in 2011. The 4a butter-powder milk price is $19.47, up 77 cents from August and $2.85 above a year ago. The 4a average now stands at $18.27, up from $14.88 a year ago and compares to $19.24 in 2011. Meanwhile, the cash dairy markets start October without much change. Block Cheddar cheese closed Friday at $1.7650/lb., up a penny and a half on the week but 33.5 cents below that week a year ago when they were trading at $2.10. The barrels finished at $1.75, up 3 cents on the week and 31 cents below a year ago. Fifteen cars of block and nine of barrel traded hands on the week. The AMS-surveyed prices were not available due to the government shutdown. ■ The USDA’s Dairy Market News reports that demand for cheese is good, with increased seasonal buying interest. Export demand is also good and clearing additional inventories. But, cheese plants are having difficulties sourcing additional spot loads of milk to fill the demand. Tight milk supplies are
restricting cheese production schedules. Plants are directing available milk to highest efficiencies and to the making of high-demand products. Cheese cold storage numbers are above year-ago levels, however cheese makers are being cautious not to over sell to be sure of filling future contract commitments. Cash butter saw a fourth week of gain, closing Friday at $1.6150, up a half-cent on the week but 24.5 cents below a year ago when it lost 9 cents. Thirty-eight cars were sold on the week. Butter production is still lagging due to good cream demand and milk production not quite back to levels of a few weeks ago, according to the DMN. Higher international butter prices have been fueling the export demand. Some plants are focusing on 82 percent (fat) production to meet the steady export demand. This week’s Global Dairy Trade auction shows prices are still strong, with the weighted average price for all products up 2.4 percent, and six of the nine product categories registering gains, according to eDairy’s Insider Closing Bell. Skim milk powder prices led the gainers, up 3.9 percent, to $2.0049/lb. Anhydrous milkfat was up 2.9 percent to $2.3174/lb. Adjusted to 80 percent butterfat, the price was $1.8576/lb. Cheddar cheese rose 2.3 percent, to $1.9309/lb. Whole milk powder also increased 2.3 percent, to $2.2943/lb., and butter rose 0.1 percent, to $1.6828/lb. or $1.6418 adjusted to 80 percent fat. ■ Cooperatives Working Together accepted 14 requests for export assistance this week to sell 1.036 million pounds of cheese and 716,502 pounds of butter to customers in Asia, the Middle East and North Africa. The product will be delivered through December and raised the CWT’s 2013 cheese exports to 102 million pounds plus 72.3 million pounds of butter, 44,092 pounds of anhydrous milk fat and 218,258 pounds of whole milk powder to 37 countries. Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk finished Friday at $1.8450, up 1.5 cents on the week, while Extra Grade remained at $1.78, where it’s been since Aug. 22.

MIELKE, from pg. 44A during the week ending Sept. 27, the highest weekly total since early March. It brought the 2013 year-todate total to 2.215 million head, about 53,600 more than a year ago. Slightly higher monthly average milk prices combined with lower feed prices pushed the preliminary September 2013 milk-feed price ratio higher, according to the USDA’s latest Ag Prices report. At 1.86, the index is up from 1.68 in August 2013 and 1.59 in September 2012, and is the highest since November 2011. The U.S. average all-milk price was $19.80/cwt., compared to $19.50 in August and $19.70 in September 2012. September corn, at $5.28 per bushel, was down 93 cents from August, $1.70 less than September 2012, and the lowest U.S. average corn price since January 2011. September 2013 soybeans averaged $13.80/bu., down 30 cents from August, 50 cents below September 2012, and the lowest U.S. average soybean price since April 2012. Alfalfa hay averaged $194 per ton, down $6 from August, $12 less than September 2012, and the lowest U.S. average hay price since January 2012. Estimated U.S. September 2013 cull cow prices (beef and dairy combined) averaged $84/cwt. The average is up $1.20 from August’s revised estimate, $4.80 more than September 2012, and the third consecutive monthly increase. It’s also the highest since June 2012, according to the DBU. The year-to-date average is $81.41/cwt., compared to $82.22 a year ago. ■ The USDA’s Crop Progress report shows 63 percent of U.S. corn is mature compared to a 70 percent fiveyear average and 12 percent is harvested compared with an average of 23 percent. Eleven percent of the nation’s soybeans were also harvested, compared with an average of 20 percent for this time of year. ■ Looking “back to the futures,” the fourth quarter 2013 pack average was at $17.35/cwt. on Sept. 6, down 24 cents from the previous week. It averaged $17.67 on Sept. 13, $17.62 on Sept. 20, $17.62 on Sept. 27, and was averaging around $17.80 latemorning Oct. 4. ■ Finally, hats off to World Dairy Expo which I attended for the 24th or 25th time — but who’s keeping track. This wonderful show brings exhibitors and farmers from around the world, more than 850 exhibitors from 27 countries, and again featured an all-breed dairy cattle show featuring some 2,500 head with the popular accompanying sales, plus seminars and tours.

Dairy is essential to the health of communities across the country because it contributes jobs, income and economic vitality. Dairy farms support rural communities in all 50 states. There are 51,481 dairy farms in the United States. An economic analysis of the direct and indirect economic impact (also known as the multiplier effect) of U.S.
dairy (farming through processing) was estimated to be $140 billion in economic output and $29 billion in household earnings. Dairies support the economic wellbeing of rural America: every dollar spent locally by a dairy farmer creates a multiplier effect of more than two and a half times the original dollar spent. Where milk goes, jobs follow. From farm to processor to distribution and retail, dairy creates jobs that support the

Too late for salvaging soybeans for forage? ... it might be difficult to do better by harvesting as forage unless drought or frost has significantly reduced bean development.
Obviously, people need to consider the potential value of the soybean crop for beans compared to the value of the crop as forage. Harvest costs are part of that consideration. With higher soybean prices, it might be difficult to do better by harvesting as forage unless drought or frost has significantly reduced bean development. Wisconsin Extension forage specialist Dan Undersander writes that the optimum time to harvest soybeans as forage is at the R6 stage when the beans completely fill the pods and the lower leaves are just beginning to turn yellow. At this point, the field has achieved maximum dry matter yield
and is just beginning to decrease in moisture. Soybeans harvested later will have higher oil content which reduces the ensiling characteristics. Mixing grass at ensiling can help to get better fermentation with later harvested soybeans. An Ohio State article suggests mixing grass with soybeans if there is grass close by that can be chopped at the same time. They suggest a grass-to-soybean forage ration of 2-to-1 based on dry matter. Soybean forage material can be mixed with corn silage and other silage crops also. Moisture conditions might allow direct cutting soybeans if an appropriate mix is available.
Some field drying is usually necessary. The crop would be cut with a mower conditioner; and conditioning will improve stem drying so leaves and stems dry at a more similar rate. Fields samples can be clipped, like we might do with alfalfa scissors cut sampling to get a better handle on moisture, quality and yield potential if that is useful. You’re welcome to call your local Extension office for more information on this topic. You can also do a website search for something like “University of Wisconsin Extension making soybean silage” or “University of Wisconsin Soybeans for Forage.” This article was submitted by Dan Martens, University of Minnesota Extension educator for Stearns, Benton and Morrison (Minn.) counties.

THE LAND, OCTOBER 11, 2013
Can soybeans be harvested as a forage crop? This question might be asked about drought-damaged soybeans or when soybeans that look like they might not have much market value if a frost is likely before they are mature enough to harvest. The soybean plant can make a forage crop that is similar in value to average alfalfa hay. It is probably best harvested as a silage crop. Stems that are chopped up in a mix with chopped leaf material as a wet silage kind of crop will be more palatable to livestock. Dry hay can be made also. The first step in considering soybean harvest as a forage crop should probably be to check the labels for any herbicides, insecticides or fungicides used on the crop. Check whether the label allows for harvest as a forage crop. Check whether the pre-harvest interval for forage harvest can be met in a time frame that makes it possible to harvest quality forage.

amphill Village Minnesota, north of Sauk Centre, is a community of just over 50 people. At Camphill, people who are usually referred to as disabled live and work with people who usually aren’t considered disabled. The Camphill Bakery has a big job. Its crew bakes for the village and for two cooperative groceries. Tuesday afternoon is cookie day. Tony, Sarah, Mike, Victor and Brenda make up the baker’s crew. Work starts at 2 p.m. Mike arrives early. “We make a lot of cookies,” Mike said. “There are peanut butter-chocolate chip, Andy’s and oatmeal raisin.” Mike continues his list of cookies. “It can get really crazy in here,” he said. “Efraim will be here in a few minutes.” Efraim, who is Argentinian, is the head baker. His keeps the craziness to a simmer. He does this with a smile and an intense but gentle focus that allows him to multi-task with warmth and graciousness. He starts by turning on the lights, tying aprons for people who can’t, and reminding Mike to wash his hands. Immediately the crew begins getting ingredients. Flour, sugar, oatmeal, peanut butter and raisins in big containers are put on the table. Everybody has a job based on their abilities and everybody knows what it is. Victor begins assembling the power mixer. Efraim signs to Brenda. “I just asked her to get butter out of the refrigerator,” he said. “She can’t speak or hear.” Meanwhile, Sarah is starting to measure out ingredients. “I like to measure things,” she says. “She’s good at it,” Efraim says as he examines a cup of raisins. He points to the twocup line for Sara and jokes with her that she must like extra raisins. She agrees. By now the big mixer is going and Efraim and his crew are darting back and forth on cookie-making errands. It’s getting noisy. Mike takes a break to visit. “It can get crazy in here,” he reminds us. When Efraim takes the kettle off the mixer and places it on the table Victor, Sarah, Mike and Tony all grab ice cream scoops. They scoop out dough and deposit it on the cookie sheet. “Be careful not to make your scoops too big,” Efraim says. By the time he slides the cookie sheets into the ovens the crew is preparing the ingredients for the next batch of cookies — oatmeal raisin. It may seem crazy in the bakery but this crew is a seamless team. ❖

Advantages we offer: • We unload directly from the trucks to a floater (Terra Gator) without stockpiling material. This gives us a more uniform spread with no foliage to plug up the spreader. • With direct loading there is no stockpile, no wasted lime or mess in your field. • We use a floater (Terra Gator) to spread so we have less compaction. • We are equipped to spread variable rate using GPS mapping. • We service Minnesota and northern Iowa. Why apply Aglime: • A soil ph level of 5.5 nitrogen efficiency is only 77 percent. • A soil ph level of 6.0 nitrogen efficiency still is only 89 percent. • At a soil ph level of 7.0 fertilizer efficiency is 100 percent. for questions or prices please call
