the rural vitality and environmental quality of southwest Minnesota. Today the center works with farmers and businesses, including rural banks; it does three-day workshops with a focus on agricultural science; plus it does special “student days” called University on the Prairie when SWROC staff, U of M Extension and U of M research faculty spend time with students in grades seven to 10. What’s new in research at SWROC? Here are a few examples: • Carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous and sulfur impacts on soil microbial activity. • Organic vegetable production in hightunnel environments. • Water use efficiency in conventional and continuous corn systems. • Seed and foliar/fungicide evaluations.
• Strategies to avoid weed-, insectand disease-resistance issues On the Outreach docket, SWROC does something that I think is so key to a better understanding of agriculture. They are doing 10-day graduate courses for K-12 educators on the science of agriculture. This learning is further enriched with two, oneday sessions for fourth graders (600-plus this summer) to promote literacy, health and safety, and a better understanding of just exactly where all of our food comes from. So now back to my introduction. I’m a volunteer member of a team doing this $2 million challenge to launch the Wally Nelson Endowed Faculty Chair at SWROC. Minnesota Corn Growers Association and Minnesota Soybean Growers Association have been major donors.

Commentary: Even in great outdoors, it’s politics as usual Late in the afternoon of Oct. 11, on the eve of the opening of pheasant hunting seasons in Minnesota and several other states, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced that it was immediately re-opening federal Waterfowl Production Areas to outdoor activities. It was welcome news to hunters and a refreshing illustration of how common sense sometimes prevails, even when up against the inexorable momentum of government bureaucracy. In the unlikely event you were unaware, a partial government shutdown after Congress was unable to reach an agreement on the budget resulted in the closure of all kinds of federal entities from national monuments to national parks. Aging World War II veterans who traveled on honor flights to Washington, D.C., were turned away from viewing the WWII Memorial. Even the massive and expansive Grand Canyon was declared by the federal government to be closed. And the USFWS had announced that because of reduced staffing levels resulting from shutdown, national wildlife refuges along with federally managed WPAs — small tracts of wildlife habitat found mainly in the Upper Midwest — would be closed to public activity, as well. In this, the month of October when many fall hunting seasons are open, it couldn’t have come at a worst possible time. Understand that if it wasn’t for hunters, the National Wildlife Refuge System that encompass some 150 million acres likely would be far smaller or might not exist at all. In Minnesota, there are about a half-million acres of federal wildlife lands, including some 200,000 acres of WPAs, scattered throughout the state, most of them open to public outdoor recreation. Virtually all of it has been funded by hunters. The lion’s share of the $15 that hunters pay annually
for their Federal Duck Stamp is expressly earmarked for the acquisition of wildlife habitat to become part of the national wildlife refuge system or Waterfowl Production Areas. And every time a hunter buys a gun, ammo, binoculars or other outdoor gear, a federal excise tax is levied, once again targeted for the acquisition and management of such places. Private conservation organizations — Ducks Unlimited, Pheasants Forever, the Minnesota Deer Hunters Association, among them — have turned over hundreds of thousands of hard-earned dollars to government entities for the express purpose of land acquisition for public recreation. Locally, for the last 26 years, through dint of hard work and dedicated membership, the Blue Earth County Chapter of Pheasants, Inc., has managed to raise about $800,000, mostly used to purchase some 1,300 acres of land, some to become Federal Waterfowl Production Areas managed by the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. And at least until Friday afternoon, all of this land bought and paid for by hunters was declared off-limits because of the shutdown. Claims by the USFW of staffing concerns rang hollow, to be sure. After all, while staffing might be necessary in areas with some sort of infrastructure — refuge headquarters buildings, for instance — most WPA acres are comprised only of grasslands, wetlands and woods — just wild and wide-open spaces. What’s more, even when the federal government is operating at full strength, encountering a badge-wear-
ing federal agent while hunting on federal lands, especially on WPAs, is an exceedingly rare event. Hunters on federal lands are far more likely to encounter state conservation officers enforcing both state and federal regulations, instead. A cynic might suggest that the real reason for the wholesale shutdown of the federal lands was based on politics, pure and simple, to make a point by inflicting disruption and inconvenience on taxpayers. One can argue the relative merits of both sides of the political issue but really, there’s plenty of blame to place on both sides for creating this mess in the first place. While average citizens like to believe they have a say in what happens in the rarified air of the Capitol, ultimately, it’s power, money and influence within the D.C. elite calling the shots. Undoubtedly, if the government shutdown continued, some hunters were going to thumb their noses at the federal government and venture into the WPAs to recreate, possibly risking tickets for trespassing. In the narrowest view, we can be grateful that a measure of common sense prevailed and the areas, bought and paid for with hunters’ dollars, once again are acessible. But viewing the big picture, it’s pretty clear that we continue to be plagued by a federal morass of ineffective governance and sorry statesmanship. This commentary was submitted by John Cross. Cross is a staff writer for the Mankato Free Press, a sister paper to The Land under the Free Press Media. ❖

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.” ❖

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,
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. Potato Dumplings (Czech) Two cups mashed potatoes, cooled; add two well-beaten eggs and blend thoroughly. Add enough flour with a little salt in to knead into a soft, pliable dough that will not stick. Make into a roll and slice in about three-inch pieces. Drop into boiling water and boil about 12 minutes. To test for doneness, break one open with two forks after you take it out of boiling water.

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 generally cooked by taste and touch, rather than by formula,” author Kay Graber writes. “Consequently, recipes of this period are often lacking in specifics. ... These recipes should be taken more as general guides.” Sometimes these old 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

Brown the beef and drain the fat. 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. In terms of a beer, I would suggest a pilsner to cut through the richness and spiciness of the chili. BBQMyWay is written by Dave Lobeck, a barbecue chef from Sellersburg, Ind.

Master Gardeners’ Alaskan cruise not difficult to ‘bear’ A week-long International Master Gardener Conference was a real happening on a cruise ship bound for Alaska. “Flowers, Fjords and Friends” was the title of the event that took place in early September. Nearly 900 Master Gardeners from around the world gathered for seven days of eatIN THE GARDEN ing, sailing, talking, learning, sight seeing, and more eating. 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
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.” Sharon Quale Many of you readers, I’m sure, have been to Alaska.

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. I took great delight in their quietly humorous stories of being gentlemen farmers; if you’re a gardener, you’ll find solid tips in each quick-to-read chapter and if you’re a gourmand, you’ll drool at the recipes here, too.

“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. Pet Talk is a service of the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, Texas A&M University. More information is available at http://tamunews.tamu.edu.

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.
THE LAND, OCTOBER 18, 2013
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.

You may have noticed a new Porterhouse in a meat case near you. Following approval from the IndustryWide 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 consumers 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) Ribeye Pork Chop (Previous name: Rib Chop) New York Pork Chop (Previous name: Top Loin Chop) Grill pork chops like a steak According to the NPB, all pork chops can be cooked like your favorite steak. To welcome the arrival of the new cut names, get inspired with these fresh recipes. It’s easy to pair the new ChipotleHerb Butter Porterhouse Pork Chop with corn on the cob or swap the compound butter for a completely different spin on the dish.

1 12-oz bottle hard cider ** Preheat oven to 450 F. Rub pork all over with oil. Mix rosemary, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in small bowl. Rub all over pork. Place pork, bone side down, in large flameproof roasting pan. Roast 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 F. Roast 15 minutes more. Add sweet potatoes and pears to pan, stir gently to coat with pan juices and spread as evenly as possible around roast. Season with salt and pepper. Roast, 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.

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.

October is Pork Month — 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 inhome at least once in an average twoweek 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 Checkofffunded 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 high-quality, responsibly raised pork,” said Karen Richter, National Pork Board president and pork producer from Montgomery, Minn. 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 wellbeing. 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 farmsite assessment identifies an area of the operation that needs an improvement to bring it into compliance. “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. The Pork Checkoff funds national and state programs in advertising, consumer information, retail and foodservice marketing, export market promotion, production improvement, technology, swine health and pork safety. 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. ❖

Pork through history “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.

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.

Getting the word out Speakers take the pork message to Main Street By KEVIN SCHULZ The Land Editor Agriculture producers have been told that if they want their stories to get out to the public, they themselves need to be the one’s telling the stories. “Too many people today are disconnected from agriculture, so we need to be sure that consumers are hearing the story straight from the producers,” said Becky Lindemann, public relations and mar-
keting manager with Wakefield Pork in Gaylord, Minn. “I try to draw the connection with the consumers. We have more in common than you would think … we are all consumers.” Lindemann was recently practicing what she preaches, and in fact preaching what she practices. In early October she spoke at the Minnesota South Central District meeting of Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics in Mankato, Minn.
She came to the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics as part of the Pork Checkoff ’s Operation Main Street, a training program for producers started in 2004 to help spread the pork industry’s message. Lindemann is one of more than 1,000 trained volunteers across the Becky Lindemann nation who deliver speeches to Rotary, Lions, Kiwanis clubs and chambers of commerce, or in Lindemann’s case in early October, a group of dietitians and nutritionists. She shared with the group the strides that the pork industry has made in creating a healthier product, from the piglet’s birth to the plate of the consumer. Lindemann painted a picture of how pork fits into the scenario of feeding the skyrocketing world population, estimated to be 9.3 billion by 2050. She also showed how pork production has grown over the decades — 12.1 billion pounds 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 three-minute 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. ❖

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. Decellularization means removing all the cells. Theis tells of work by University of Minnesota researchers where they “flushed out” the heart of a dead rat, meaning removing all the cells within this heart. Then they implanted cells of a live rat into the dead heart and six weeks later it was functioning. In essence these implanted cells reproduced and grew another heart. “This technology is what will be solving the rejection challenges of various organ transplants, including hearts, because medical specialists will be using a patient’s own cells,” Theis said, indicating this is cuttingedge technology. 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. He said they had just harvested eight porcine livers for a company that is working to produce a surgical mesh to repair hernia issues. He indicated this project will be four to five years down

the road. Theis describes their work as mostly being of a “futuristic nature ... and much like any other research work, we’re often dealing in more failures than successes.” Another big porcine surgical mesh implant area is breast reconstruction after mastectomy surgery; also tissue repair for torn muscles; rotator cuff repair; fallen uteruses, vaginal repairs, etc. There’s a lot of good things emerging out here, Theis said. 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. He said about one-third of the business of Midwest Research Swine deals with porcine health, another third is with pharmaceutical companies which may include development of the surgical mesh products and the remaining third with bio-medical companies, often of international scope. As an example MRS provides healthy pigs for these companies to use in their own research and develop-
ment 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. Production agriculture meeting today’s needs of medical technology and evolving for the betterment of mankind neatly summarizes what MRS is all about. Geography helps. Theis said their Glencoe location positions them right at the edge of the medical mecca of the Mayo Clinic, the University of Minnesota plus all the medical businesses of the Twin Cities metro. Essentially word of mouth has been the primary source of this recognition. Log on to midwestresearchswine.com for more information. ❖

Importance of dairy exports a ‘double-edged sword’
THE LAND, OCTOBER 18, 2013
MIELKE, from pg. 27A Checking the cash markets; the block cheese price closed the second Friday of October at $1.80 per pound, up 3.5 cents on the week but 30 cents below a year ago. The barrels closed at $1.7650, up 1.5 cents on the week and 29.5 cents below a year ago. Eight cars of block and 14 of barrel traded hands on the week. The NDPSA block price averaged $1.8036 and barrels averaged $1.7857.

week at $1.8450 but Extra Grade gained 2 cents, hitting $1.80, first price movement since Aug. 22. The NDPSA powder average was $1.8289, and the dry whey average was 58.05 cents per pound. ■ Evaluating the markets, Jerry Dryer wrote in his Oct. 4 Dairy and Food Market Analyst that “Bulls keep talking about the holidays and export sales. Bears keep talking about huge inventories.” He adds that, “With the USDA information void, figuring out where the markets might go won’t get any easier. That said, I still think these prices have some upside for all of the reasons other bulls cite. Supply is larger than usual, but so is demand.” Dryer offered his own Dairy Products report, the first USDA report casualty from the shutdown. Based on August milk production data and Dryer speculated that, production “staged a major recovery in California in August, thus supporting butter and powder production. Meanwhile, milk production gains in the Midwest and East were less robust than earlier in the year, so cheese output increases were moderated.” ■ The increasing importance of U.S. dairy exports remains a double-edged sword. Product moved offshore obviously adds strength to domestic prices here but as U.S. manufacturers start producing for the world market, what happens if/when that market slows and exports are reduced? Where does that product go? DairyBusiness Update editor Dave Natzke and I discussed exports with the U.S. Dairy Export Council’s Alan Levitt at World Dairy Expo and, while Levitt acknowledged the potential pitfalls of dealing in the world market, he remains bullish on the export potential. He told us that more than 15 percent of U.S. milk is now exported, up from 5.7 percent 10 years ago, as the U.S. increases world market share. USDEC says this will be another record year and estimates 2013 dairy exports will reach 3.8 billion pounds milk solids, valued at $6.6 billion. Dairy imports are projected to be about 779 million pounds milk solids, and valued at $3.2 billion. Global prices remained strong in the second and third quarters and USDEC says the U.S. gained market share in the first half of 2013 in key products such as skim milk powder and cheese. He cautions that the global milk supply will come back and admits world dairy product prices could slip in 2014 but does
not see anything close to a crash. The main reason? One word: China. China demand is underpinning the markets, according to Levitt, and cited as an example, that China is on pace to import more than 500 million metric tons of whole milk powder this year, up from virtually nothing five years ago. The United States is beginning to produce more WMP for export instead of just nonfat powder. World importers of WMP include China, Southeast Asia, Venezuela, Algeria, Nigeria, Brazil, and Sri Lanka, in that order. The top WMP exporters are New Zealand, the European Union, Argentina, Australia, Uruguay, and Singapore. New market access could be in the works to Canada and Japan via the Transpacific Partnership although Levitt stated that the U.S. dairy industry insists the TPP agreement address the anti-competitive New Zealand dairy structure before the United States provides additional access to the Kiwis. In addition, Canada will not give up its supply management regime easily, but if reforms can be made the Canadian market offers huge potential to the U.S. dairy industry. A fifth element in USDEC’s latest trade summary is the safety and quality factor. Consumers are highly sensitive to this, according to Levitt, and Fonterra’s recent powder issue with China was a prime example. USDEC says U.S. traceability best practices for dairy plants “should help.” Finally on the demand side of things is the fact that the global population is on track to hit 9.1 billion by 2050, according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization. USDEC points out that means 2.3 billion more mouths to feed than today and virtually all those additional mouths will reside in developing nations, primarily Asia and Africa. Dairy will be a big part of that food demand. ■ Speaking of the TPP, the International Dairy Foods Association charges that the government shutdown has put a damper on U.S. trade negotiations in the TPP and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative was already under budget constraints due to sequestration, and the shutdown further limits its capacity to negotiate and enforce trade deals as three-quarters of USTR employees are furloughed.

MIELKE, from pg. 28A dent Obama canceled his trip this week to Bali, Indonesia, where he was scheduled to host a meeting of the TPP leaders on the heels of the APEC summit. The agreement is set to conclude at the end of the year, but more work is needed in several key areas, and the shutdown could hinder participation by USTR officials in future negotiating sessions. Comparable problems are also affecting TTIP, according to DBU. The second round of negotiations between the U.S. and the European Union scheduled to be held this week in Brussels was also canceled due to the shutdown. A new date has not been scheduled and is unlikely until the shutdown is over. ■ And, speaking of exports; Cooperatives Working Together accepted 32 requests for export assistance this week to sell 4.890 million pounds of Cheddar, Gouda and Monterey Jack cheese and 7.540 million pounds of butter to customers in Asia, Central America, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. The product will be delivered through March 2014 and raised CWT’s 2013 cheese exports to 106.900 million pounds plus 79.795 million pounds of butter, 44,092 pounds of anhydrous milk fat and 218,258 pounds of whole milk powder to 37 countries, the equivalent of 2.783 billion pounds of milk on a milkfat basis. ■ In politics, DBU reports that U.S. Rep. Kristi Noem, R-S.D., a member of the House ag committee, said she has received an assurance from Speaker of the House John Boehner that he will appoint House conferees within the next week to the House-Senate farm bill conference committee. The naming of House conferees will allow formal farm bill conference negotiations to begin, bringing the farm bill one step closer to completion. The recent blizzard in South Dakota, which killed an estimated 60,000 head of cattle, has added urgency for lawmakers in the region. Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., wrote letters calling for action from Boehner and Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, including reauthorization of livestock disaster programs, and opening of USDA Farm Service Agency offices to assist affected producers. ■ World Dairy Expo attendance was just shy of 71,000 people and the top five international attendees were from Canada, Japan, Mexico, Germany, and Brazil. Some 843 companies from 29 countries, 43 U.S. states, and six Canadian provinces exhibited at the show. There were 1,616 cattle exhibitors from 36 states and seven Canadian provinces.

Dairy production statistics for the United States, Minnesota, Iowa The dairy industry is a vital part of our nation’s food system. 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.

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. ❖

Grain Angles New fall trigger yields
The following market analysis is for the week ending Oct. 11. CORN — The market felt somewhat lost this week without the usual U.S. Department of Agriculture reports and the postponement of the October monthly crop report. The October crop report has not been rescheduled and some wonder if they will release it all, instead waiting for the Nov. 8 report to make updates. This possibility increases if the government shutdown lasts into the last week of October. Harvest is gearing up across the Midwest with yield reports coming in well over expectations PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. in many cases. The unofficial harSt. Paul vests progress number is around 30 percent complete. Thus far, you don’t hear of any whining, or very much, about less-than-expected yields. Corn peaked for the week on Monday and drifted lower from there in roller coaster fashion, higher close one day, lower the next; however the overall trend was lower. Corn plunged this week to its lowest level since September 2010. This week’s December low was $4.32 1⁄2 per bushel. December corn’s contract low of $3.98 1⁄4 was set back in June 2010. While there is some grower selling of the unexpected, extra bushels occurring, it’s not overwhelming. Storage is the flavor of the month. December corn was down a dime for the week at $4.33 1⁄4 per bushel. A “leaked” Environmental Protection Agency report this week concerning the 2014 renewable fuels mandate indicated it would be lowered to 15.21 billion
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 Afton, Minn. movement of product and animals. 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 cur-
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 insur- MARTY KRIENER ance. Below, I will illustrate several AgStar Senior Financial Services Executive examples using corn to help make it Rochester, Minn. easy to see how the numbers work.

The fall corn or harvest price is currently being determined during October utilizing the December futures contract. If we simply take our spring revenue coverage and divide that number by our expected fall price we can calculate our new fall trigger yield.

Market structure says sell beans, store corn NYSTROM, from pg. 1B gallons, 3 billion gallons less than the 18.15 billion gallons originally established. On paper, this reduces corn for ethanol to a 4.7 billion bushel grind for 13 billion gallons, down from this year’s 13.8 billion gallons and compared to the original mandate for 14.4 billion gallons for 2014. This could lower corn usage for ethanol by 200300 million bushels of corn from the USDA’s 4.9 billion bushels. If this year’s yields increase it could push the 2013-14 carryout close to 2.5 billion bushels. The proposed cut will be subject to public comment and likely strong opposition from corn grower lobbies. The EPA stated that no final decision has been made on the 2014 RFS mandates. This week’s ethanol production dropped from 875,000 barrels last week to 868,000 barrels this week. Brazil’s corn planting is estimated at 13.6 percent complete. Brazil’s first
forecast of their corn production came in at 78.4-79.6 million metric tons compared to USDA’s 72.0 mmt projection. Due to the government shutdown, there are no daily or weekly export sales reports. However, wire articles reported that China bought 420 tmt of U.S. corn for May-July shipment compared to earlier rumors of 700-900 tmt being bought. OUTLOOK: Reports of much higher corn yields than growers anticipated, and now the lowering of the ethanol mandate, are keeping end users on the bench. This seems prudent this early in harvest. The next very-short-term support is $4.25-$4.15, but with the impressive yields the harvest low could be nearer the $4.00 level. I would expect corn to slow its rate of descent as we near $4.25-$4.15 per bushel. SOYBEANS — Soybeans are in high demand with a large export book on for soybeans and meal. Some rain

(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 example previous shows that we’ll start to collect revenue losses with yields below 195.6/bu. (80 percent policy) and 207.9/bu. (85 percent policy,) respectively. Soybeans fundamentally work the same way: Soybean spring price was determined during the month of February looking at the November futures contract. The soybean fall or harvest price is currently determined during the month of October utilizing the November futures contract. Currently the November futures are running at $12.88 which is very 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
delays over the previous weekend spiced up the market early in the week, before consolidation took place. Basis levels were firm and the November/January spread went to an inverse to encourage farmer sales. The 100-day moving average on the charts continues to hold as short-term support, for now. This is what we had mentioned a few weeks ago about total supply and “available” supply. We need to crack that available supply side to keep the pipeline running. Vessels are waiting in the Gulf to get loaded, with some reportedly waiting since Sept. 20. In Brazil, some boats have been waiting to load beans since July! Line-ups there are significantly longer this year than last year at this time. The trade is projecting U.S. bean harvest at 30-35 percent complete as of Oct. 10, even without a government report. China sold half of the 500 tmt of reserve beans they offered at auction this week. Brazil is forecasting their bean production between 87.689.7 mmt, when the USDA is at 88.0 mmt. Brazilian farmers have sold approximately 32 percent of this year’s bean crop, below last year’s 45 percent, but well above the 24 percent average. OUTLOOK: It’s estimated that twothirds of beans arriving at elevators are being stored, with half of the remaining third either being applied on contract or

appears that a large percentage of operators will have some sort 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 for 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.).

being sold over the scale. There were not many beans sold ahead of harvest this year, so contracts should be filled in quick order. The market structure says sell beans and store corn, but there will always be some beans that are held. The market has big meal and bean export commitments and needs to attract bushels to the pipeline. This somewhat balances the larger than anticipated yields and helps explain the inverse that has developed in the November/January spread this week. November soybeans fell 28 1⁄4 cents this week to settle at $12.66 3⁄4 per bushel. First support lies at the recent $12.63 1⁄2 low. If that is broken, next support will be eyed closer to $12.50/$12.25 per bushel. Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending Oct. 11: Minneapolis wheat rallied 8 1⁄2 cents this week, Kansas City gained a dime, and Chicago rose 5 1⁄4 cents. November crude oil fell $1.82 per barrel to $102.02 this week, ultra-low sulfur diesel increased 3 1⁄2 cents, RBOB gasoline rose 6 cents, and natural gas soared 27 cents higher. Until the government returns to work, there will not be any crop related reports, including monthly crop report, progress, exports, commitment of traders, etc. This material has been prepared by a sales or trading employee or agent of CHS Hedging Inc. and should be considered a solicitation. ❖
Hog trend likely to hold TEALE, from pg. 1B rent price ranges will remain intact. The hog market has also been on a roller coaster ride. However the ride in the hog market has been a lot swifter than that of cattle. Hog prices have risen on fewer market-ready 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. ❖
Devil’s in the details with flexible lease agreements 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,

Crop revenue flexible lease examples for corn
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 FARM PROGRAMS “base” figures. A “true” flexible cash lease would also By Kent Thiesse 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
THE LAND, OCTOBER 18, 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, and fear that the gross income 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,

Assist crop budgeting with maximum cash rental amount PROGRAMS, from pg. 3B 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 “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 “break-evens” 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 farm operator. 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 farm operator. Many times, yield determination requires a certain degree of “trust level” between the landlord and the farm operator. In many cases, the “base price” for a crop is the “new crop” price at the local grain elevator or pro-

In some cases a weekly or monthly average price at the local level from planting to harvest is used to determine the final price.

Farmers hopeful for strong harvest 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 trade-off: 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 Coop of Hanska, Minn., said this has produced night and day 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 sum-

mer 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. They were hoping for the 200 (bushel for corn) range, but we’re more likely to see the 170 to 180 (bushel) range,” 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. ❖
Flexible cash lease agreements must be equitable MARKETING
farm operators 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 extremely 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.

Getting closer on ‘renewable fertilizer’ from winds By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Because fertilizer is now the second biggest cost of growing a bushel of corn (after land costs) a growing number of farmers are asking when anhydrous ammonia might be produced from more local sources such as wind turbines or ethanol plants. Doug Tiffany They read about research projects at the University of Minnesota’s West Central Research and Outreach Center at Morris, where the various components of a wind-to-hydrogen-to-nitrogen system have now been “harnessed” to actually produce small amounts of anhydrous ammonia from the Center’s 1.65 MW turbine. “With anhydrous ammonia now in the $700 price range, producers are asking when this will happen? When will wind energy, or biomass, or biogas from anaerobic digesters become part of a local or regional farm cooperative producing an input (nitrogen) to enhance the sustainability of corn production?” asked Doug Tiffany, assistant University of Minnesota Extension professor, speaking at a Renewable Fertilizer Conference this summer in Morris. He said land rent now averages about $225 per acre in Minnesota, and fertilizer is now a $149/acre cost and seed is $115/acre (2012 data from Southwest Minnesota Farm Management Association). “We’re getting closer,” Tiffany said. “The use of absorbents may speed the process. Absorbents are chemicals that enhance the efficiency of the catalysts.

That may offer opportunities to downsize the scale of these anhydrous ammonia operations. Today these plants are mostly close to natural gas sources which is still the No. 1 feedstock in the production of anhy,” he said. Carbon footprint in the food chain is now a major policy dimension. The simple fact that in growing corn the single biggest energy input is the embedded energy in producing that fertilizer. Tiffany suggested that if we are making efforts to grow our crops with the lowest carbon footprint we need to be looking at these other options such as wind energy, or biogas from an anaerobic digester, or biomass itself to produce these fertilizers. “If we reduce the carbon footprint of the corn we produce, we very directly reduce the carbon footprint of ethanol produced from that corn,” Tiffany said. He thinks these options are picking up traction. Some promising things are happening in the near-term, Tiffany said. He sees growing support from within the agricultural community to doing things differently and doing things smarter. “Having a smaller, localized facility producing anhydrous ammonia has some real advantages.” 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 anhydrous? Interviewed at the Renewable Fertilizer 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 $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 we’re still at the front end of research and development of renewable energy options. “We have a five-year strategic plan here at Morris to reduce the fossil energy consumption to agriculture and to reduce the carbon footprint of agriculture,” Reese said, “not only will this help farmers become more efficient and selfreliant but it also opens the market to the biomass and wind resources that are so much a part of the rural landscape.” He visualizes that food customers will soon be asking for products with lower carbon footprints. “Our role as farmers and researchers is to read these trend lines and develop tools that will enable farmers to change as needed. Already there are a growing variety of options for farmers in crop production. What we are doing here at the station on renewable fertilizer projects to reduce our carbon footprint is vital. We’re even changing strategies in our livestock production systems to reduce the energy consumed.” For example at the Morris station a solar thermal system is being added for the dairy facilities which includes “thermal storage” so that hot water can be captured on warm sunny days and stored to be used as needed. Dairy facilities use a lot of hot water for cleaning. Also on the horizon is a wind turbine and solar PV system for capturing and storing electrical energy. Little doubt that the U of M’s WCROC at Morris has indeed become the renewable energy center of Minnesota. ❖

EQUIPMENT
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.
