Don’t know what you’re doing? Stop doing it, dummy MINDS, from pg. 2A even farming, but that doesn’t make it any less important. Foolish is he who does not bring a novel, or magazine, or sudoku puzzle book, or iPod, or smartphone. You will need to bring the cart here.

NOW. And yet you may need to sit there patiently for half an hour as the combine navigates the rows. That’s just the way it is.

Rule No. 6: Being fired is not an option This is also known as the “the beatings will con-

tinue until morale improves” rule.

Some disgruntled grain cart operators may get the big idea that if they screw something up with precisely the right amount of faux-incompetence, they’ll be taken off the grain cart crew and given a more ... intellectually stimulating role. This does not work. If you make a mess, you will clean it up and be sent right back out again. Do not try to fight this rule; you’ll only make things tougher for yourself later.

Rule No. 7: Never leave your lunch in the other tractor Let nothing tear you asunder from your lunch sack. Carry a backpack with you all day long if you have to, but do not let your lunch out of your sight.

Rule No. 8: Something doesn’t work? Turn it off, turn it back on. Still broke? Do it again.

The Diagnostics for Dummies rule. There will be times when you are in the southwest 40 acres, and the combine operator (a.k.a. boss) is in the northeast 40, and something goes wrong with your machine.

Do not panic. Just turn everything off, wait 30 seconds, then turn it all back on again.

If this does not work after three or so repetitions, you probably seriously wrecked something and you’re about to be fired.

■ OK, so those were the original eight rules. For the record, they’re all still 100 percent true and enforced.

But for this old farm-kid-turned-office-jockey who only gets behind the wheel of a tractor a few days a year, I found there are at least two additional rules to keep in mind ...

Rule No. 9: Safety first Farming is a very dangerous business, and every precaution should be made to ensure everyone’s safety and well-being around the multitude of rapidly rotating PTO shafts, auger screws and drive belts, among the many hazardous situations that present themselves on a regular basis on a farm.

For example, hypothetically, one thing you would want to avoid is slipping while climbing out of a tractor cab, stumbling backwards several feet, tripping over a gravity wagon hitch, then falling unceremoniously on your butt.

That would be mildly bruising and pretty embarrassing for you. Hypothetically.

Rule No. 10: If you don’t know what you’re fiddling with, stop fiddling with it Sure, the boss says he wants you to be proactive and just take care of things without bugging him with dumb questions left and right, but when you do exactly that and there’s hydraulic fluid pouring out everywhere for what seems like five minutes because you forgot about how the couplers have tiny shutoff levers next to them that you’re supposed to flip before yanking hoses out, whose fault is that?

Yours. It’s your fault.

And no, you’re still not fired. Now grab a roll of shop rags and clean up that mess, ya big dummy.

OPINION

Facebook has a market value of $122 billion, projected earnings of 0.18 cents per share and, as such, a share price 218 times more than earnings.

Crazy? Sure, but most market analysts continue to pump Facebook; they expect its price to climb even higher.

Twitter, the newest social network, is about to “go public,” sell shares in the company. If the offering goes as expected, Twitter will raise $11 billion even though the firm has no profit whatsoever.

Meanwhile, Apple, a company that actually makes something — market-leading computers, cell phones and the wildly popular iPad — saw its stock price slapped 13 percent lower Oct. 29, the day after it reported a 9-percent drop in quarterly earnings.

But Apple did, in fact, make money; $7.5 billion net profit in just three months. And, even better, Apple has $147 billion in the bank, in cash, right now.

The short-termers in Congress are little different than the stock jockeys of Wall Street. They chase after fads, fashion and public opinion with little thought to long-term value or long-term impact.

And, in the process, they’ve short-sold America and, especially, American farmers and ranchers who have been waiting two years for a timely, updated farm bill. That’s totally irresponsible.

In fact, it’s just plain stupid.

Osborne awarded patent Osborne Industries Inc., of Osborne, Kan., announces that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has awarded Patent No. 8,511,257, on Aug. 20 for the company’s Safety By-Pass Gate for the automated pig weighing and sorting system, the Osborne Weight Watcher Growth Management System.

The Osborne Weight Watcher System, introduced in 2002, provides complete growth management of finishing pigs in large pens. An automated weigh scale, coined the Osborne Survey Scale, sorts pigs by weight to enable target feeding, and automatically sorts market-ready hogs to cut sort losses and closely match packers’ matrixes. Pigs pass through the sorting scale as they naturally move between feed and water areas. The newly patented Safety By-Pass Gate allows animals free access to the feed and water areas if an emergency event occurs. The gate automatically opens if the sort scale experiences less than normal activity owing to any type of system failure.

An industrial strength air cylinder with features that prevent rusting, binding or fouling operates the gate mechanically during a no-power or no-air event.

According to George Eakin, president and chief executive officer, the concept of the Safety By-Pass Gate arose from over 10 years of research and development with the Osborne Weight Watcher System. The Weight Watcher System was introduced in 2002 at World Pork Expo in Des Moines, Iowa, at a time when feed prices began rising drastically. The capability of the system cuts sort losses by growing more pigs uniformly.

From the Fields: The end is near, thankfully The Brandts Ada, Minn.

On Oct. 23 Danny Brandt finished up sugar beet harvest without a hitch. His veteran crew made this year’s harvest go “fantastic,” he Danny Brandt said.

The Land spoke with Brandt on Oct. 29 as he proudly announced that his beet lifter celebrated its 22nd birthday. “It’s built like a brick house,” he said, and expects it to last many more harvests to come.

With beet harvest complete, Brandt’s focus is now on corn. The corn moisture is starting to get “down to 16 to 17 percent,” he said, noting that he’s “not wild and crazy about putting 20 percent (corn) away.” So the corn may wait in the field for a while as it continues to dry out. With the liquid propane gas shortage, drying the corn isn’t such an easy task — or a cheap one.

“The weather has been pretty good,” Brandt said. He hopes that trend continues, to get the corn dry enough to get out of the field. Looking at the long-range forecast, he expects conditions will be favorable for a late harvest. “The best thing is to take dry corn off the field,” he said.

Brandt is happy to report that harvest is “going right as it should.” It just may take a while longer this year, and he’s OK with that.

The Johnsons Starbuck, Minn.

Waiting. So many parts of harvest are fast-paced, but there is also the waiting aspect of it.

That’s what Scott Johnson was doing Scott Johnson when The Land spoke with him on

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

His corn dryer has been working so hard that it decided to take a break.

The repairman was heading out to Messner’s farm to get it back up and running.

Messner said he expected to finish picking corn the following week. Once that’s finished, it will be time to spread fertilizer, get bins ready for winter and put equipment away.

“For the most part the fall has gone fairly smooth,” he said. “I’m looking forward to putting the 2013 season to bed.”

By KRISTIN KVENO The Land Correspondent

The Laubenthals Swea City, Iowa

Oct. 30. With rain continuing for the last 24 hours, he was waiting for conditions to improve before heading back to the field to get the rest of the corn harvested.

Once Johnson can get back in the field he estimates that it should take four to five days to finish the corn. Like many other farmers this year he has been utilizing their corn dryer, thus experiencing a number of breakdowns with the dryer. All of the corn Johnson has harvested has needed to be dried.

Although he has started to see corn in the field dry down more, it’s still “wetter than it’s been in the last few years.”

Johnson hoped to be back in the combine by the weekend. He has been able to keep up with the tillage and fertilizing. Once corn harvest is complete, Johnson will work on cleaning up and putting things away for the winter.

This corn harvest has been a challenge for Johnson as he’s “seen a lot of rain” and had to deal with wet corn. He hopes to get done “as soon as possible. ... This time of year you just want to get done.”

The end of harvest is so close for Johnson — now if only the weather

would give him a break.

The Messners Northfield, Minn.

The weather has been a factor all growing season for Chris Messner. The challenging weather earlier this year has become relatively Chris Messner unchallenging so far this harvest, and he is very much relieved.

The Land spoke with Messner on Oct. 28 as he reported that even with a little rain forecast for the next few days, this year’s harvest has gone well.

Corn yields have been about the same as last year’s, with the moisture being at 18 percent. “Pretty happy with that,” he said. The dryer has become vital to farmers all over the region this year, and Messner is no exception. “We haven’t had any corn that’s coming out of the field dry,” he said. He hasn’t seen any corn with moisture levels above 20 percent and feels fortunate that his corn has dried out so much.

Charlie Laubenthal finished harvesting his soybeans, and here’s his bottom line: “The beans aren’t good.”

While the bean Charlie Laubenthal yields were average, he was certainly happy to get the crop out of the field.

Another positive: When The Land spoke with Laubenthal on Oct. 28, he was thrilled to report that it has been a “virtually maintenance-free fall.”

The corn harvest was nearly coming to a close as well, with only 120 acres left for him to combine. “It’s been a good run,” he said. Corn is down to 15 percent moisture, and he hoped to finish corn harvest that week.

“Yields are really across the board, with an 80-bushel-an-acre spread across fields,” Laubenthal said, “which is huge.” He attributes the spread in yields to drowned-out areas.

Once corn harvest is complete, he’ll start spreading fertilizer and do some tillage work. He is also slowly starting to sell seed.

Laubenthal is sticking with his goal of having “everything put away by the 25th of November.” There’s nothing better than to know that harvest is complete, fall field work is done, and equipment is put away just in time to eat some turkey. ❖

According to a recent Barna Group survey “Ten years ago, slightly over one out of 10 Americans self-identified as lonely. Today, that number has doubled — a paradoxical reality in the full swing of the social media age.”

Lack of friendship is not for lack of desire. Barna reports, THE BACK PORCH “the desire to find one’s place among a few good friends has

By Lenae Bulthuis likewise increased from 31 percent a decade ago to 37 percent today.”

In spite of having Facebook friends and Sunday morning coffee in the church fellowship area, it’s entirely possible to be lonely. Have you ever gathered around the family table, been on break with co-workers, or sat in a roomful of beautiful Bible study women and felt completely isolated, rejected, misunderstood or alone?

For you burly guys, don’t skim or stop reading. This friendship thing applies to you, too. Just put yourself in Pete Loescher’s shoes. He blogs, “the tragedy at my father’s funeral was not that I had to help carry the casket.

Deer stand berry, berry good Deer hunters for years have been constructing elevated deer stands — usually a few 2-by-4s, a few sheets of plywood strategically nailed to a tree — to give them an edge over wily whitetails.

Nowadays, some ambitious deer hunters construct their deer stands to include heat, carpet, cooking stoves, insulated windows — nearly all of the comforts of home — all to put venison in the freezer.

Elden Stanke has about a half-dozen elevated deer stands strategically placed in and around the deer habitat on his farm just northwest of Smith’s Mill, Minn.

Far from luxurious, utilitarian would be a more apt description. But one of them has origins that would have to qualify it as one of the more unusual deer stands to be found in Minnesota.

Standing about 15 feet tall, a bright red, giant strawberry overlooks a slough, a field and a stand of woods.

Once upon a time, the fiberglass strawberry was a key component in a Tilt-AWhirl-type amusement ride aptly named the “Berry-Go-Round.” “My brother-in-law from Waterville got it from somewhere and thought it would make a good thing for the kids to play on,” he said.

However, city fathers and neighbors took a dim view of the scarlet orb parked prominently in his yard, so in the interest of neighborhood harmony, he decided to get rid of it.

“I said I would take it, figuring it would look good in the yard out here,” Stanke said.

“And I said, no, it wouldn’t,” added his wife, Merry, who quickly shot down any notions about yard art.

After some consideration, he came up with the idea of utilizing it as yet one more deer stand for the cadre of relatives and friends come every November to hunt deer on the farm.

“My nephews welded a stand for it,” he said. “And it used to turn, but they welded it so that now, it’s stationary.”

In its original configuration, the straw-

berry had a hard bench seat running all the way around the inside for riders and something resembling a round table in the center.

In deference to functionality and comfort, the table was THE OUTDOORS removed and replaced with a comfortable

By John Cross chair.

Windows were added to either side to enable a hunter to view areas to either side of the strawberry.

High above the vegetation, a hunter can be protected and cozy, yet have a commanding view of the countryside.

Situated where a farm field abuts a thick stand of cattail swamp and a hundred or so yards from a patch of woods, it is in a seemingly ideal location to ambush a whitetail.

But since Stanke put the stand at its present location two years ago — it’s clearly visible from busy Highway 14 — no one has managed to draw blood while hunting there.

He admits that the reason may have to do with a whitetail’s innate caution about new and peculiar things that suddenly appear in its neighborhood.

“The deer seem to stay up against the woods,” he said, speculating that it has taken some time for the keen-eyed animals to get accustomed to the unusual addition to the countryside.

This year, he is hopeful that it may all come together with the added attraction of deer’s equivalent of a smorgasbord. A nephew who now farms the property was unable to get a conventional crop in this spring due to the wet weather. When things finally dried out, he planted a cover crop of tillage radishes.

“The radishes were planted to protect the soil but I was told that deer really like to eat them, too,” he said of the vegetables resembling pale cucumbers that now cover the field by the thousands. Stanke, who was unable to hunt last year because of some health issues, is unsure if he will be able to hunt with the gang this fall either.

John Cross/Mankato Free Press

Elden Stanke’s elevated deer stand near Smith’s Mill, Minn., may not rank among the most luxurious but, with origins as an amusement ride, it probably ranks as one of the most unique.

But he figures that with the radishes as forage and the deer more accustomed to the strawberry deer stand, the former amusement ride just might be a good place for one of his guest hunters to be when the 2013 Minnesota Firearms Deer Season begins.

In the meantime, one might wonder why he opted to keep the strawberry its original, very noticeable red state instead of converting it to a stealthier camouflage cloak of browns and tans to better blend in with the surroundings.

He thought for a moment.

“Maybe someday I might want to start growing some strawberries to sell,” he joked. “It would make a pretty good sign.”

Selecting fruit varieties suitable for the Iowa climate What fruit varieties will perform well in Iowa? Horticulturists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach answer questions about selecting plum, pear, cherry and peach varieties.

What are some good plum varieties for Iowa?

Cold hardiness is an important factor when selecting plum varieties (cultivars) for home gardens. Japan-

ese plums are not reliably cold hardy in Iowa. However, several European and hybrid plum cultivars can be successfully grown in the state.

European plum cultivars that perform well in Iowa include Mount Royal, Stanley and Damson. Mount Royal produces small fruit with bluish black skin and greenish yellow flesh. Mount Royal can be grown throughout Iowa. Stanley (dark blue

skin, greenish yellow flesh) and Damson (blue skin, yellow flesh) are not reliably cold hardy in northern Iowa, but can be successfully grown in the southern two-thirds of the state.

Several hybrid plum cultivars (introduced by the University of Minnesota) possess excellent cold hardiness and can be successfully grown throughout the state. Hybrid plums include Alderman (burgundy red skin, yellow flesh), Pipestone (red skin, golden yellow flesh), Superior (red skin, yellow flesh), and Underwood (dull red skin, yellow flesh).

European plums are self-fruitful. A single tree will bear fruit. Hybrid plums are self-unfruitful. Two or more hybrid plum cultivars must be planted to ensure cross-pollination and fruit set. Toka is an excellent pollinator for Alderman, Superior, Underwood and other hybrid plums.

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

What are some good pear varieties for Iowa?

Pear varieties (cultivars) that perform well in Iowa include Summercrisp (University of Minnesota introduction, large fruit, matures early August), Moonglow (introduced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, medium to large fruit, matures midAugust), Bartlett (large fruit, matures late-August, susceptible to fireblight), Luscious (developed at South Dakota State University, medium-sized fruit, matures mid-September), Patten (originated in Iowa, large fruit, matures mid-September) and Seckel (sometimes called Sugar Pear, small fruit, matures mid-September).

Moonglow and Bartlett are not reliably cold hardy in northern Iowa.

They should be planted only in central and southern portions of the state. All of the other aforementioned pear cultivars can be successfully grown throughout Iowa.

Which sour (tart) cherry varieties perform well in Iowa?

Northstar and Meteor are two of the best performing sour cherry varieties (cultivars) in Iowa. Both cultivars were introduced by the University of Minnesota and possess excellent cold hardiness.

Northstar is a dwarf tree that commonly grows eight to 10 feet tall. Its fruit have a mahogany red skin, red flesh, and are 3/4-inch in diameter.

Meteor is a semi-dwarf tree. Trees

may eventually reach a height of 10 to 14 feet. The fruit of Meteor are slightly larger than Northstar and have a bright red skin and yellow flesh. Another possibility is Mesabi, a cross between a sweet and tart cherry.

Its red-fleshed fruit are sweeter than Northstar and Meteor.

Can sweet cherries be successfully grown in Iowa?

Gold, BlackGold and WhiteGold are sweet cherry varieties (cultivars) that can be successfully grown in the southern two-thirds of Iowa. Gold has golden yellow skin. It is self-unfruitful.

Another late-blooming sweet cherry cultivar must be planted for pollination and fruit set. BlackGold and WhiteGold are self-fruitful, mid- to late-blooming cultivars from Cornell University in New York. BlackGold has dark red skin, while WhiteGold is light yellow with a reddish blush.

Other possibilities for southeastern Iowa include Hedelfingen (selfunfruitful, red fruit), Kristin (selfunfruitful, purplish black fruit), Sam (self-unfruitful, dark red fruit) and Van (self-unfruitful, reddish black fruit).

Are there any peach varieties that can be successfully grown in Iowa?

Peaches are not reliably cold hardy in most parts of Iowa. It is possible to grow Reliance (yellow flesh, freestone) and Polly (white flesh, clingstone) in the southern one-third of Iowa.

Growing peaches in Iowa is challenging. Cold winter temperatures may destroy the flower buds on peach trees. A late frost or freeze in spring can damage or destroy the flowers. As a result, peach trees often bear few, if any, fruit. Gardeners in southern Iowa can anticipate a good crop about once every three or four years. Peaches also are short-lived in Iowa, often dying within eight to 10 years.

Loving pets can share their ills with their owners The little puppy you brought home is adorable.

She saves the best of her sweet looks and affectionate gestures for you.

In turn, you want her to have the best of everything you can give.

In this mutual exchange of love, you also need to ensure that the pet doesn’t give you something you may not want to take — a zoonotic disease, which is a disease that can spread from animals to humans.

We usually do not think that we get diseases from

animals, but these instances happen more than we think. In many cases, people do not realize that they may have got the infection from their pets, said Stacy Eckman, lecturer at Texas A&M University’s College of Veterinary Medicine.

In some cases, the animals themselves suffer from the disease while in other cases they are not affected by it, she said.

Infestation with intestinal parasites such as roundworms and hookworms are common zoonotic diseases affecting household pets like dogs and cats.

“A large percentage of the new puppies I see have hookworms and roundworms,” Eckman said.

So what are symptoms of intestinal parasitic infection in pets that one should watch out for?

“Poor skin and hair, and a potbellied appearance,” she said. These zoonotic diseases are, however, more common in Third World countries because of poor sanitary conditions. Proper hygiene is essential to help prevent the spread of these diseases to humans, she said.

Cat owners need to be aware of toxoplasmosis — a disease transmitted through the feces of cats that can affect the unborn child in pregnant women.

Eckman recommends that households with pregnant women and cats contact their veterinarian and physician about precautions. Cleaning the kitty’s litter box twice a day, preferably by other members of the household is a good option, she said.

One could also get diseases from larger animals as well. Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that can cause serious liver and kidney problems. The infection can occur through skin contact with infected water contaminated with urine.

Discard the bulbs after they put on their show as they don’t usually do well in the garden after they were forced.

also help prevent against parasites like hookworms and roundworms.

Many zoonotic diseases depend on the local conditions prevalent in the area.

Her take-home message: To consult your veterinarian regarding your pet.

Zoonotic diseases need not always be transmitted by pets. Other animals which we encounter can also pass on diseases. For example, bats are potential carriers of rabies, a fatal disease.

Eckman warns that people should never touch bats.

The good news is that all these zoonotic diseases can be avoided with a little bit of preparedness. Veterinarians do routine exams for dogs to check for different diseases such as intestinal parasites and external parasites that may transmit blood-borne disorders.

‘Flying Blind’ shares farmer’s battle with buckthorn, authority Last spring, the gauntlet was thrown down.

By Terri Schlichenmeyer each weed with ruthlessness — which is something author Don Mitchell knows all too well. In his new book “Flying Blind,” he explains.

Following a few years of cross-country travel and a colorful hippie lifestyle, 24-year-old Mitchell bought a farm. It was 1972, he and his wife had spent time in Vermont , and they liked it there.

When they found a 130-(“more or less”)acre farm, they put money down, bought some sheep, and became farmers.

The farm was ringed by woods and cliffs. It was in a bucolic rolling valley with wildlife and birds, and the Mitchells kept their footprint small. They didn’t do much with the thickly wooded area, but they grew crops and they constructed a large pond with the help of government money, even though Mitchell wasn’t happy with government rules. He says he’s always chafed under authority, but the pond was a welcome addition to their property. Life in the valley was good.

And then came “The Great Vermont Ice Storm” of 1998. For three straight days, freezing rain coated everything, breaking limbs from trees and powerlines from poles. In the aftermath, Mitchell toured

Knowing when it’s time for a long-term care facility

THE LAND, NOVEMBER 8, 2013

One of the hardest things a caregiver will ever have to do is to know when it’s time for their loved one to go into a long-term care facility. Often, caregivers will go long past the point of when they should have incorporated help from the outside.

Sometimes, it’s their own fear of failing as a caregiver and the fear of letting someone down that stands between themselves, their loved ones, and an improved quality of life for both. Identifying some of the following may help make the decision process a little easier, and define certain things a little more clearly for you.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

18 A

A long-term care facility may be needed if ...

• Your relative’s condition keeps getting worse and is becoming too much for you to handle on your own; • No matter how hard you try to give care to your loved one, it’s just not enough; • You feel as if you are the only one around who is having to care for someone who is ill or elderly; • You’re not receiving any type of respite, and it doesn’t look like anything can be arranged for you to get much-needed time away or rest;

• Relationships with other family members are breaking down because of the time you must dedicate to caring for one person; • Your caregiving responsibilities are beginning to greatly interfere with your work and personal life; you have feelings of guilt when it comes to taking care of yourself; • Your coping skills are beginning to include selfdestructive behavior, such as eating too much or too little, increased drug use or alcohol use, or losing emotional control too often; • You rarely experience any moments of happiness, but have too many real moments of exhaustion, anger and resentment; • You hold your feelings in, never allowing them to be shared with a friend or with a professional.

As a caregiver, you may very well have experienced many, if not all of these things from time-to-time, or you may now be starting to experience these things constantly. In order to conquer your fears of placing a loved one into a long-term care facility, you need to understand more about some of the facilities nearest to you.

As a caregiver, you may wonder how to go about finding what’s available to your loved one in and around the area in which they live, and how to decide upon what type of facility will be best for them. A few people you may want to ask are: your family physician, hospital discharge planners, social workers, home healthcare nurses, friends and/or neighbors who have been through similar experiences, your religious leader, geriatric screening programs through a local hospital or community center and, finally, government agencies such as the federal Area Agencies on Aging, or local social services or family services groups.

If there is a professional familiar with your loved one’s condition, ask them about what kind of facility would be best in matching and meeting particular needs. These people may be able to help you base a decision upon specific medical considerations and information, such as conditions like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s, mental health and awareness of the person, and their physical and mobility factors.

When deciding on a few places to check out, first call them and ask if there is a waiting list for the facility, what the cost might be, and what types of insurance or supplements, if any, are accepted. The answers you receive from these calls should help you narrow down your list.

When you’ve selected a few places, make sure you ask even more questions to help you better assess the quality of each facility. Also, listen to your “gut” feelings when you begin each tour, and it may be helpful to bring along a friend or other family member in order to get some other input regarding each facility.

I then looked at the beer bottles and packs of cigarettes surrounding the stone, and it reminded me that these icons were in many ways normal people, just like you and me.

They had passions, likes, dislikes, favorite dishes, desserts they couldn’t resist, holiday traditions — things that help make each of us Marilyn Monroe who we are.

So, today’s column will briefly touch on icons of the past and their favorite foods. To foodies like me, good food is one of the most enjoyable experiences in life, and a peek into one’s soul.

James Dean: It is reported that his favorite food toward the end of his short life was a brick oven pizza at Villa Capri outside of Hollywood, which no longer exists. Some say he ate his last meal there.

Marilyn Monroe: Warm milk with raw eggs blended in for breakfast. Steak, lamb or liver (all Frank Sinatra broiled) for dinner.

Frank Sinatra: Eggplant parmigiana with marinara sauce.

Nat King Cole: Bacon cheeseburger was his favorite burger.

There is also a cole slaw recipe floating around with his name on it, but I’m guessing that’s a play on words more than anything else.

John F. Kennedy: Quite a broad menu but he typically had to be Nat King Cole reminded to eat. Clam chowder seems to have been one of his favorite dishes — and Boston beans.

A couple of weekends ago I was driving to Fort Wayne, Ind., to participate in a barbershop competition. (No, I don’t cut hair. I sing with the Louisville Thoroughbreds.) As I was sailing down Interstate 69, I saw a sign for Fairmount.

For some reason, the town jumped out at me. But why? Ah, yes, it dawned on me: James Dean grew up in Fairmount, and he was buried there.

I don’t think I have ever watched a full movie starring James Dean, but what the heck? The dude is a cultural icon. I was a couple of hours ahead of schedule, and I like exploring things I come across as I travel. So I visited Fairmount, Ind. What a cute, quaint town. After James Dean visiting the museum, I was given directions to the graveyard and the farm where he grew up. Once I located his gravestone, I was shocked by the number of fresh flowers and tokens of love for a kid — he was only 24 when he died — who passed away more than 50 years ago.

Bottles of beer, coins, fresh flowers and love letters.

One letter was tucked under a rock, ready to fall off of the gravestone. I replaced it but felt the urge to read it. I opened it, and the letter started off with the following: “Jimmy, it’s been over 50 years since you have been gone, and I still miss you every day.”

The letter was handwritten and two full pages.

After reading the first sentence, I immediately folded it up and replaced it securely under the rock. This letter was not meant for me. I felt like I had just spied on a private moment, fleetingly, but wrongly.

to about 3/4 inch thick. Brush the patties with some olive oil.

In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, cucumber, dill and garlic.

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat, or preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and film it with olive oil. Place the burgers on the grill or skillet, and cook until nicely seared on both sides, about three minutes per side. Continue cooking, brushing with a little more oil if grilling, until the burgers are medium-rare (140 F). Serve topped with tzatziki in sliced pita bread, open-face on a slice of toasted olive bread, or on a hamburger bun.

■ New Potatoes With Feta and Olives (serves 4) 16 small new potatoes (Yukon Gold, fingerlings, baby reds, etc.)

3-4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Coarse salt 1 red onion, cut into 1/4-inch rounds 6 pitted kalamata olives, chopped 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano 1/2 cup crumbled feta Salt and freshly ground black pepper Preheat the oven to 350 F. Toss the potatoes with just enough oil to lightly coat them, about 1 to 2 tablespoons, and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake until the potatoes are tender but not too soft, about 25 to 30 minutes. Put the potatoes in a gratin (casserole) dish, and crush them with the back of a fork.

In a large skillet, heat the remaining oil and sauté the onion slices until they become light brown, about 6 to 10 minutes. Pour the onions and oil over the crushed potatoes, and then toss in the olives, parsley, oregano and feta, and season with salt and pepper.

Put the dish in the oven, and bake until the potatoes are very tender and the cheese is melted, about 10 to 15 minutes.

■ An homage to sunflower producers, Marinated Kale Salad utilizes both the oil and the seeds. Make this dish a day or two ahead for best results. The extra time allows the strong flavor of the kale to mellow a bit.

Marinated Kale Salad (serves 4-6) 2 tablespoons sunflower oil 1 tablespoon cider vinegar 1 teaspoon honey 1 pound kale, stemmed and finely chopped 1 small sweet onion, finely chopped 2 large carrots, shredded 1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins Salt and freshly ground pepper 1/4 cup toasted sunflower seeds

Many sweetly delicious ways to enjoy cranberries COOKBOOK, from pg. 22A In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar and honey. Add the kale, onion, carrots and dried cranberries, and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with the sunflower seeds. This salad keeps nicely, and tastes better the day after it’s made.

■ We all know about cranberry sauce that comes in a can, as well as the dried variety of cranberry. And then there’s those fresh cranberries in bags

in the produce aisle, which usually end up being cooked for sauce as well. But did you know you can just eat those tart, fresh cranberries out of hand?

And use them in other delicious ways, such as in this Cranberry Snack Cake?

The results are gratifying: Four out of four “yums” from the sweet-toothed Johnson crew.

Cranberry Snack Cake (Makes a 9-inch cake) 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 1/4 cups sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 3 large eggs 1 cup plain Greek-style yogurt or sour cream 1 cup fresh cranberries, chopped Confectioners’ sugar (optional) Preheat the oven to 325 F. Lightly butter and flour a 9-inch square baking pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy; then beat in the vanilla. Beat in the eggs one at a time.

Beginning and ending with the flour mixture, alternate folding portions of the flour mixture and the yogurt into the butter mixture. Fold in the cran-

Nitrogen tool bar attachment for ‘catch-up’ opportunities the risk of weather,” Bassett said.

The tool bar attachment is removed in only 10 to 15 minutes when switching back to the spray boom for conventional spray work.

Perhaps the beauty of this Hagie STS machine is that the same tank, sprayer and pump system is used for both regular spray applications and the nitrogen work. Tanks vary in size from 1,000 gallon to 1,600 gallon. Typical nitrogen application rates would be in the 30-pound to 70-pound rate. More likely, however, is a starter fertilizer application at planting with a sidedress nitrogen application in season.

“Some producers are using this rig twice — early shortly after planting and then later after the corn is waist to chest high,” Bassett said, indicating most of their tool bar

units are being purchased directly by farmers, many of whom also may do some custom work for neighbors. “But big custom applicators are seeing this as a unique customer service which can further extend the work season for their equipment, too. Historically, though, these machines are going to farmers who are trying to better manage their dollar costs of crop production.”

The risks of volatilization, immobilization and runoff of surface-applied nitrogen make injected nitrogen much friendlier to those concerned with nutrient management.

Hagie Manufacturing dates back to 1947. Its product line of crop application equipment is now marketed worldwide. Preceding the advent of the self-propelled high-clearance crop sprayers, Hagie Hybrids (seed corn) started the growth of this family owned company. ❖

Interactive map highlights corn impact An interactive online map created by the Minnesota Corn Growers Association highlights the local impact made by corn farming throughout Minnesota.

With a single click, users can access data that breaks down corn production by county along with county-by-county information on corn crop value, stations that sell ethanol-blended fuel such as E85, ethanol plants, grain elevators and MCGA members.

The online tool can be accessed at www.mncorn.org/farm-policy/county-stats, or under the “Farm Policy” tab at www.mncorn.org.

“It’s another way to show how corn farming helps grow the local economy,” said MCGA president Ryan Buck, a farmer in Goodhue County. “A strong corn crop means more activity at local businesses and more opportunities to create agriculture-related jobs in the region. Corn farming makes an impact beyond just the farm.”

Minnesota corn farmers harvested 1.386 billion bushels in 2012, valued at over $9.5 billion. There are 350 stations that sell ethanol-blended fuel such as E85, 20 ethanol plants and 621 grain elevators throughout the state.

With more than 46.3 million bushels harvested valued over $324 million, Renville County in western Minnesota led the state in corn production. Redwood County was second with over 40 million bushels val-

ued at more than $280 million.

Hennepin County has 23 stations that sell E85, the most of any county in Minnesota. In greater Minnesota, Stearns County in central Minnesota leads the way with 14 stations.

Stearns and Kandiyohi counties each have 21 grain elevators. Renville County has the most MCGA members with 873.

Corn is grown in 73 of Minnesota’s 87 counties. There are 36 E85 stations and 19 grain elevators in counties where no corn production was reported for 2012.

The MCGA has over 6,700 members and represents the interests of more than 24,000 corn farmers throughout Minnesota. To learn more about the MCGA, log on to mncorn.org. ❖

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Called a nitrogen tool bar attachment, this unit mounted on a 2014 Hagie STS machine caught lots of attention at the Clay County Fair in Spencer, Iowa.

“It’s not unlike any other nitrogen side-dress applicator except this Doug Bassett one stands tall,” said Doug Bassett, northwest Iowa and southern Minnesota territory manager for Hagie Manufacturing Co. of Clarion, Iowa. “This attachment helps minimize weather or rain disturbances that keep you out of your fields when corn is growing rapidly. With this unit you can still get that nitrogen applied if you are doing sidedress applications or even a rescue situation if weather didn’t give you any other option.”

Though already on the market for about 10 years, Bassett said the bar became much more popular when the price of corn went up, along with the price of nitrogen. “That tended to make producers managing for maximum yields and also better managing those expensive inputs,” Bassett said.

The tool bar can be set up for 30-inch, 20-inch or 22-inch row configurations. “In the narrower rows we set the applicator knives for every other row, meaning we skip a row and let the corn reach for the N in either direction,” Bassett said, explaining there was too much extra weight if set up with knives every 20 inches in the row.

Coulter wheels aren’t set up as gauge wheels controlling application depths but rather slit the ground so the nitrogen is squirted into that slit just before being closed over with soil.

“The goal is to position that nitrogen so that it quickly attaches to soil moisture because then it will stay put in the soil,” Bassett said, indicating this is a high-speed nitrogen applicator permitting travel at 10 to 15 mph, thus those coulters virtually roll along on top of the soil. Deep penetrating coulters could be a problem covering the ground at these speeds.

So why knife in your nitrogen? Simply because the risk of nitrogen becoming unavailable for plant use dramatically increases when it is surface applied via broadcast, band or otherwise compared with methods that inject or incorporate it.

Urea ammonium nitrate (32 percent and 28 percent) commonly used in side-dress corn applications is easily lost through volatilization when surface applied. This occurs when urea converts to ammonia gas which is released into the atmosphere through natural processes.

According to Rachel Halback, Hagie agronomist, the speed at which volatilization occurs depends on temperature, humidity, soil pH and wind speed.

Nitrogen loss will increase with increasing soil pH, and hot and dry weather conditions favoring evaporation. Ohio State University agronomists found approximately a 3-percent loss per day with ureabased products left on the soil surface.

“So be concerned about weather conditions when doing nitrogen work. But also recognize that this nitrogen tool bar attachment lets you greatly reduce

Increasing productivity without increasing costs

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Getting into inoculant-based products and seed treating services has generated new “farming dimensions” for Chris Schlegel, Kandiyohi County area farmer.

“We’re into a diversified product lineup which we feel is very cost-effective and a proven method to increase yields,” said Schlegel, who views the microbial and biological market as the next threshold for advancing the productivity of agriculture.

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

Max Yield Solutions, the name of Schlegel’s new firm headquartered at Schlegel Farms near Lake Lillian, Minn., offers services in seed, seed treatment products, seed treating services, plus biologicals and adjuvants. With these additional technologies he sees producers better able to quantify their inputs and increase yields in an environmentally friendly manner.

Might these microbiological products also lessen costs? Because each farmer’s production strategies are different, on-farm testing is the most reliable indicator of what works and what doesn’t. Even though some new products suggest a potential for cutting back commercial fertilizer costs, especially nitrogen, Schlegel said it’s difficult to tell farmers to cut back on inputs when crop production is expanding.

“We know these products have the capability to increase productivity without increasing costs. As new products keep evolving, the bottom line is better utilization of our soils and crop production inputs. That’s no guarantee of increased yields but

we’re only into the first chapter of putting bacteria and biological materials to work in You never want to turn a blind eye to things happenour farm soils. For example ing in agriculture.

A farming budget and enhancing the overall health of double-header with a single our crops and soils. product may be just one exam— Chris Schlegel, ple of new things happening Kandiyohi County farmer in this exciting world of microbiologics in farming.” it certainly is trending,” Schlegel said.

Corn, soybeans, wheat and sugar beets are on the agenda for these biological products. Already the turf business is big business. “But we’re just in the early stages of wide-scale introduction into row-crop agriculture,” he said, with key factors being environmental safety plus the ability to tailor a plan to fit the specific needs of a grower, on a field-by-field basis.

“It’s not a one-size-fits-all concept.”

His firm looks at the current inputs, be that conventional fertilizer or livestock manure, then develops a program that fits in with what the producer is already doing. “We’re not talking special applications to work with these products. We’ll tailor a program to be the most cost-effective for each particular customer,” he said.

The TerraMax products’ lineup will be a major offering of Max Yield Solutions. Schlegel said, “there are a lot of advancements happening in special research labs and on-farm testing. I tend to think

With the increasing resistance failures of both trait and insecticides to corn rootworm challenges, just maybe a biological product is waiting in the wings to eliminate this growing threat in the Corn Belt.

“You never want to turn a blind eye to things happening in agriculture. With expenses up and risks also ramping higher, we want to utilize technology at the highest level but still being cost-effective with our farming budget and enhancing the overall health of our crops and soils,” Schlegel said.

MDA provides ‘dating service’ for young, old farmers

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer No joke, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture is now in the “dating game” business.

A smiling Jim Ostlie, MDA employee said, “in many states this is called a ‘Farm Link’ program but in

reality it is much like a dating service.

We call it the Minnesota Farm Transitions program.

“We’re taking information from beginning farmers and/or ‘wanna-be’ guys and gals having aspirations about wanting to farm. Maybe they’ve now completed college, or worked on a

farm as youngsters, or grew up on farm but there’s just no room for fitting into the home farm.

“We link these young people with retiring farmers looking to the future but don’t have heirs to take over the farm. But if this retiring farmer is willing to take under his/her wing one of these younger folks, then we (MDA) arrange for face-to-face sit-down sessions with both parties.”

This starts after the MDA receives a completed farm transitions form.

“Once you get the right information in the hands of both parties, it’s then a matter of listening and talking until the ‘retiring’ farm couple feels totally comfortable with the young farmer. That, of course, includes financial details and a host of other items,” Ostlie said.

This Minnesota Farm Transitions Information Form is a six-page document that compiles a huge amount of information on behalf of both parties.

The MDA form reads “Understanding your goals and objectives is important to matching and transitioning, so complete answers are critical.” The first three questions get right to it: • How do you see yourself benefiting from this program?

... it’s then a matter of listening and talking until the ‘retiring’ farm couple feels totally comfortable with the young farmer.

— Jim Ostlie • How do you feel about transitioning the farm?

• What role do you see yourself playing in the transition of the farm?

“We’ve been trying to do some informal matches for the last five years.

But we decided that we really needed to iron out a specific program that provides enough details so we can really help with the transition through its entirety. Even though in its infancy, interest is building,” Ostlie said.

As of Oct. 18, 27 beginning young farmers have filled out the information forms and nine older farmers have expressed similar interest in potentially offering their farms for a transition match up.

A call to Ostlie starts the process.

Contact him at (320) 291-8657 or jim.ostlie@state.mn.us, or log on to www.mda.state.mn.us for more information. ❖

High-moisture corn leads to Lp supply issue

Long lines of trucks waiting for a fill of liquid propane have been a common sight across the Midwest this fall.

14.5 percent moisture for longer term storage.

Unfortunately we don’t see any immediate relief.

Relaxing the trucking regulations gives some flexibility. But the problem is where do you go to source the product?” Zelenka said.

He thinks the executive order will provide some help but he questions if this isn’t more a supply problem. “It appears agriculture is competing with pipeline owners and suppliers who use their pipelines for other products, perhaps diverting to heating fuels right now or even moving Lp to export terminals.”

Pat Macht, Energy Division manager of the Harvest Land Cooperative with major grain handling facilities at both Morgan and Springfield, said Lp gas supplies for the four dryers used in this cooperative “are on a day-by-day basis. So far no shut downs

but we’re keeping our fingers crossed.”

Craig Hebrink, general manager of Co-op Country Elevator with grain storage at Sacred Heart, Renville, Danube and Olivia, said the Lp shortage is no concern for them. “About 20 years ago we hooked up with a natural gas pipeline running through our communities. I think many Minnesota elevators over time have hitched up to natural gas if it’s available. But I can sympathize with producers and elevators having to shut down because they’ve run out of Lp gas. It’s a tremendous problem.” ❖

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer “Suddenly we’re out of gas” That’s Bob Zelenka’s take on the shortage of liquid propane for firing up crop dryers across Minnesota.

Much of Minnesota’s 2013 corn crop needs drying.

Bob Zelenka Zelenka, Minnesota Feed & Grain Association executive director, said some elevators have simply had to shut down. Some cooperatives, even some large acreage corn growers with big dryers on their own farms, are now dispatching semi rigs to Lp terminals in other states.

“We’re hearing reports of Lp gas truckers waiting in line up to 10 hours at depots to refill their rigs. It’s so bad that even our Minnesota Lp suppliers are encouraging their customers to source Lp terminals in other states,” Zelenka said.

To assist truckers, Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton on Oct. 24 issued an emergency executive order which provides relief from state regulations pertaining to hours “behind the wheel” if/when extra effort is needed in the transporting of propane and anhydrous ammonia. Apparently anhydrous ammonia is also caught in the shortage squeeze.

Item 2 in the executive order reads: Motor carriers and drivers transporting propane and anhydrous ammonia to affected areas of the state and providing direct assistance for emergency relief efforts, are exempted from regulations incorporated in Minnesota Statues, section 221.0314, subdivision 9, pertaining to hours of service.

Zelenka said two factors converged to exacerbate the issue. The late planting of much of the 2013 corn crop created wetter corn at harvest, plus the tremendous growth of on-farm drying and much larger drying facilities at many country elevators perhaps somewhat disrupted the normal distribution channels for Lp gas.

Big dryers have a tremendous appetite for Lp gas.

Zelenka said big commercial dryer units can burn through a semi load of Lp gas in four hours. Most dryers since mid-October have been on a 24/7 schedule. “I’m not certain what the answer is but we’re trying to work with both suppliers and the trucking industry to find answers to this problem.”

The issue is both time and the cost of transportation. If it’s a 10-hour run to a terminal in Kansas plus figuring in the cost of transporting, it’s a dicey call as to what’s the smart decision,” Zelenka said.

He questioned why suppliers wouldn’t have anticipated the drying needs of Corn Belt farmers this fall, “or have we been lulled into a sense of security in view of the ‘in-field’ drying of the crop over the past couple of years?”

Will there be more outdoor corn storage this fall?

Likely, but this season much of that may be highmoisture corn. If moisture contents are 18 percent and higher, Zelenka said that corn can fairly quickly develop some quality issues. It puts a big priority on aeration of that corn as soon as possible.

“But you still need to bring this corn down to 14 to

By RENAE VANDER SCHAAF The Land Correspondent STURGIS, S.D. — The Lonetree Ranch has been in the Reinhold family for almost a century. It has seen its share of weather storms, but none with the devastation produced by the Oct. 4 storm.

Larry and Robin Reinhold are the third generation to ranch and farm the land settled by his grandparents. They and their six children live in the house that has been the home for each generation.

“They named it The Lonetree Ranch,” Larry said.

“There was one lone Cottonwood tree on their land.”

The ranch spans 4,250 acres of western South Dakota land, 20 miles north of Rapid City and 20 miles west of Sturgis. Those are the closest towns. Approximately 350 acres is planted to wheat.

“The cattle are We knew a winter the Hereford storm was combreed,” Reinhold ing.

They are cient before. broke to be dependable cattle — Larry Reinhold horses and can be trusted with children.”

That is mighty important to the Reinholds. In addition to their ranching livelihood, they own and operate Rainbow Bible Camp. Throughout the summer months children spend a week at the ranch, riding horses, ranching, experiencing life away from today’s technology. There is time for Bible lessons and the wide open spaces provide opportunity for meditation.

“Last summer kids from 19 states spanning San Diego, Calif., to Newtown, Conn., took part in Rainbow Bible Camp activities. We need to be able to have confidence in our horses for the many different riders.” At least 20 of those horses died in the storm.

Their monetary value is between $5,000 and $10,000; their proven abilities priceless.

Those first days in October, Reinhold was sowing winter wheat. The temperature was 85 degrees. By necessity, they keep a pretty close eye on the weather, he said. “My wife, Robin, is a trained weather reporter.”

“We knew a winter storm was coming,” he said. “We moved the cattle to shelter and put the horses by the

Livestock losses from S.D. snow storm ‘hard to comprehend’

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Two feet of snow, 10-foot drifts stranded livestock STORM, from pg. 31A barn. It is what we always do when adverse weather is predicted. It has always been sufficient before.”

It started raining Thursday night. When Reinhold woke the next morning at 5:30 a.m., it was still raining; but soon turned to snow. Chores were done that day. Saturday morning it was still snowing. The storm left behind 24 inches of snow with 10-foot drifts.

“Electricity went out on Thursday,” Reinhold said.

“We moved from our house to the Rainbow Camp building, there we had heat and water due to a gravity flow system. The electricity was off until Wednesday, so we had no contact with rest of the world.”

By Saturday evening, the Reinholds knew they had some losses, but as the days unfolded, the extent of the devastation became evident. Over 90 head of horses and a dozen head of cattle perished in the blizzard. Other ranchers sustained losses too.

“I can tell you story after story,” Reinhold said. “Of young couples just getting started. One family had invested all they had to purchase 85 cows, now they have just 13 cows left. This kind of loss is hard to comprehend. A young couple were building up a Red Angus cow herd, they are going to have to start over.”

Reinhold’s father and other old-timers had endured the storm of 1949, those of the ’60s, but none produced the livestock loss as this one has.

“The cattle still had their summer coats on, remember it was still 85 degrees just days before the snow flew,” Reinhold said. “It was early in the season, it was heavy, wet snow with great accumulation, and the wind was ferocious.”

Livestock is the major industry of South Dakota, producing some of the best beef in the nation. To lose thousands of cattle in one storm will have an impact for years to come, he said. What happens in the country affects the main streets of our towns.

Following the early October blizzard that devastated livestock herds across South Dakota, the search was on by the Reinhold family — including Molly, 17 — to find surviving cattle and horses.

Ranchers are still in shock. It is difficult to assess the total financial loss as the surviving cattle are no longer in perfect condition. Pneumonia is a problem.

Then there is the emotional anguish that comes with seeing the massive death loss.

“Ranchers care about their cattle,” Reinhold said.

“They put their lives on the line all the time. This storm came in like tsunami. The judgmental attitude that we are hearing from many, just shows their ignorance.”

Reinhold is doing what he always does in the storms of life that seek to overwhelm. He looks to

God for strength and help.

“By the Lord’s grace we will keep going,” he said.

“Agriculture’s tradition is a can-do attitude.” He hopes to be an encourager and help to others who have suffered. Already he has been heartened by telephone calls from former Rainbow Bible Camp attendees.

He looks for practical ways to assist these young families.

“Cattle numbers are low, and the cattle price is high,” Reinhold said. “That makes it extremely difficult to rebuild cattle herds. But there are other opportunities to show that you care.”

One way is to purchase quality nursery trees for shelter belts. The storm took out trees, much as a tornado leaves an area. Anyone can adopt a suffering ranch family; financial gifts make a difference.

Reinhold said he will act as a watershed for gifts to those in need. He also suggests farm associations — such as South Dakota Stockgrowers, Farmers Union and Farm Bureau — as organizations that can help.

As of Oct. 30, 147 ranchers had reported their losses to the South Dakota Animal Industry Board.

Staff Veterinarian Susan Reenders said 11,781 cattle, 359 sheep and 264 horse deaths had been reported.

“It was established by the Black Hills Area Community Fund Association,” Traxinger said, “but it will be administered by the South Dakota Cattlemen’s Association, South Dakota Stockgrowers Association and the South Dakota Sheep Growers. Nearly, if not, 100 percent will go right to the ranchers.

“Monetary donations are best at this time,” he said. “It is the time of the year that ranchers sell. They use that money to pay living expenses and pay down on bank notes. Now their income is gone.”

Traxinger said the three organizations were providing excellent leadership, mobilizing efforts with support and information.

Caleb Reinhold, 11, cradles a survivor of the severe winter storm that hit South Dakota in early October.

“A lot of producers thought they had their cattle in a good place with plenty of bedding,” Traxinger said. “One sheep producer lost all his sheep when the building collapsed on them.”

The ranchers did the best they could, he said. So many different factors were involved. The storm delivered a more powerful punch than predicted. Fortyplus inches of snow fell in some places in the Black Hills, with wind speeds over 70 miles per hour.

In addition to being the largest snowfall ever in October, it also hit at the very beginning of the month.

“South Dakota will recover at the end of the day,” Traxinger said. “Support is coming from the local communities and elsewhere.”

Three information meetings were held in late-October. These gatherings were a joint effort by South Dakota Cattlemen’s Association, South Dakota Farm Bureau, South Dakota Farmers Union, and South Dakota Stockgrowers Association with the support of other industry groups and local businesses.

Thiesse: Cow-calf operators see some optimism

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer A logical place to zero in on the Minnesota cattle business is the Minnesota Beef Expo, where for 14 years Kent Thiesse has headed up the Youth Kent Thiesse Program.

With considerably cheaper corn prices than one year ago, how does Thiesse read the immediate future for Minnesota cattle producers?

“Yes, there’s some understandable optimism, especially from the cow-calf producers. Calves are at record prices right now,” Thiesse said, explaining that it is basically a supply and demand situation. Because of three years of drought conditions, beef cow numbers and total beef supply in this country are at near record lows. Add to that the early October blizzard that ripped through western South Dakota and surrounding areas and claimed tens of thousands of livestock.

Many of these losses were pregnant cows which directly impact the supply of feeder calves again next year. “In the big scheme of things, not a big deal but, even so, this only exacerbates what already is a tight supply,” Thiesse said.

Minnesota feedlot operators are certainly noting the squeeze of escalating feeder prices so even with signifi-

INSULATE

cantly reduced feed costs the margins are likely staying fairly tight but Thiesse did venture, “there’s now more opportunity for profitability but it’s likely not as profitable as one might think.”

So if the drought cycle is diminishing in the southwest will cattle numbers, especially beef cows, rebound? “Yes, but not rapidly,” Thiesse said. “The cattle business simply takes a long time to rebuild numbers.

Plus as cow men rebuild their herds, they are naturally keeping more replacement heifers which, in the short term, can put even more pressure on the supply situation.”

Unlike the hog industry and the poultry business, cattle cycles are longterm so he’s not seeing much rebound.

Will the cattle business eventually become a conglomerate of just a few huge owners and investors? Thiesse doesn’t believe so. “The cattle business is unique. Yes, on the feeding side of this industry there are now huge feedlots often with multiple ownerships.

But the nature of the cow-calf business still continues to lend itself to a lot of smaller operations.

“There are many areas of our country suited only for pasture land and forage production, often best fit for smaller operations including part-time ranchers who have off-farm jobs. We have quite a

bit of this in Minnesota so I don’t see much change in the cow-calf business regardless the financial outlook.”

Thiesse recognizes the growing cooperation between the Department of Natural Resources and other public land agencies and ranchers wanting to rent these acres for grazing. It seldom is an environmental issue. He related to earlier times when agriculture was more diversified with livestock always part of that farming landscape.

“Livestock was a positive from an environmental standpoint. Obviously the first fertilizer we used in growing crops was livestock manure. Properly managed, livestock manure is still an excellent resource for the soil,” Thiesse said, pointing out Minnesota livestock producers have improved their management strategies to the extent that livestock pastures adjacent to rivers, streams and lakes are seldom now an environmental issue.

In view of significantly larger corn crops than earlier predicted should feeders contract ahead for feed supplies?

Putting on his “banker’s cap,” Thiesse hesitated just a bit and said, “today most producers are looking at margins

so it’s hard to suggest locking in.

But if feed prices and cattle futures generate a margin, then contracting could be working for you. But if margins are questionable right now, there is no urgency to contract ahead.”

Thiesse is vice president at MinnStar Bank in Lake Crystal, Minn., as well as author of the “Farm Programs” column in The Land, found on page 3B in this week’s issue.

“There’s nothing on the horizon to suggest a run-up of corn prices. Given the encouraging yields on this 2013 crop and looking at projected planting acres for 2014, it looks like continued pressure on the corn market is inevitable, at least in the short term. It looks like corn supplies nationwide and worldwide are in a more stable situation so volatility in the commodity markets should be lessened.”

Being part of the “think tank” team that created the Minnesota Beef Expo 14 years ago, Thiesse is pleased, almost amazed, that it has become such a showcase event for the Minnesota cattle industry. “Yes, this has now become one of the major events in the Upper Midwest,” said Thiesse, who since Day 1 has been coordinator of the junior show.

There were about 800 cattle and more than 300 exhibitors in this year’s junior show portion of Beef Expo which was Oct. 18-20 at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. Expo dates correspond with the annual Minnesota teachers convention which shuts down Minnesota public schools for three days, so students aren’t playing hooky when participating.

The junior show is an educational event with things like judging contests, a knowledge bowl, a team fitting contest and the Minnesota Youth Beef Experience Program (see story on Page 35A). ❖

200,000 free ear tags distributed through ID program

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer The Minnesota Board of Animal Health has begun providing free identification ear tags to Minnesota cattle producers, veterinarians and bison farmers, and it’s going “great guns,” according to Erica Gunderson, communications specialist with Erica Gunderson the Board. “Since the first of the year we have now distributed nearly 200,000 tags,” Gunderson said at the recent Minnesota Beef Expo.

Are there other ID systems? According to BAH, there are several approved forms of official ID for cattle moving within Minnesota. (Log on to www.mn.gov/bah for a complete list.) But there are certain cattle that must be officially identified. They are breeding cattle, rodeo cattle and all cattle for exhibition. Breeding cattle include all cattle except ...

The training will align with Career Cluster Standards of the National Council for Agricultural Education for a unified approach to a national farm safety education and curricula-certification program for youth. The project will establish a national steering committee to engage the Department of Education, Department of Labor, FFA, Farm Bureau, Farmers Union, Ag Safety and Health Council of America, National Council for Ag Education and other relevant partners. The committee will work to identify curriculum and testing gaps, certification needs and industry-recognized credentials.

Curriculum materials will be placed on the eXtension website in the new Ag Safety and Health Community of Practice to be used in both formal and non-formal settings. A national outreach strategy will promote use of the curriculum from youth and farm safety instructors to parents and 4-H youth programs. Additionally, the project will determine the resources required to sustain a clearinghouse for national youth farm safety and education curriculum, state certification requirements and testing.

NIFA made the award through the Youth Farm Safety Education and Certification Program, which was established in 2001. Agricultural education is an important part of an individual’s career and technical education. As such, it needs to provide instruction that leads to industry-recognized credentials. In addition, vocational agricultural program curricula need to be aligned with current career standards and curricula that integrate agricultural safety and health.

Through federal funding and leadership for research, education and Extension programs, NIFA focuses on investing in science and solving critical issues impacting people’s daily lives and the nation’s future. More information is available at www.nifa.usda.gov. ❖

Grazing public lands good for livestock, wildlife habitat • One of the largest grazing projects in Minnesota is on Chippewa Prairie in Chippewa and Swift counties. This joint venture between the DNR, The Nature Conservancy and local cattle producers demonstrates conservation grazing practices.

• Each new grazing location will have a grazing plan written that will address objectives, rare features, sensitive areas, invasive plants, livestock rates, fencing, water and monitoring.

“Informally we have heard from the Lac qui Parle WMA and the Glacial Ridge NWR manager that producers are ecstatic about the weight gain they are seeing on their livestock with conservation grazing,” said Carmelita Nelson, DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife Prairie Grassland coordinator. She can be reached at (651) 2595014.

Time of grazing on WMAs depends on objectives. However grazing will usually start in mid-May with cattle removed before the fall hunting seasons, generally not later than Aug. 15.

Some areas may be grazed season long, others rotated through a series of paddocks, and others flash grazed for a brief period of time. Current vegetation and management objectives will drive the timing and stocking rate for each site.

Primary livestock will be cow-calf pairs. Cattle producers are responsible for moving and caring for the livestock. Hunting is allowed on grazed WMA land. Signs will be posted and hunter access gates will be provided at strategic locations. ❖

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

more wildlife are their general comments,” said Jim Ostlie, also with the MDA. By the same token he’s taken a few harsh phone calls from hunters who simply don’t accept the data that science is providing.

Available on the MDA website is a listing of grazing lands available through the DNR, U.S. Fish and Wildlife and other public agencies. Log on to www.mda.state.mn.us.

“You’ve got to get your name into the hat, so to speak. Then the selection process starts and it typically is a competitive bidding process,” Ostlie said.

How does Minnesota agriculture advance in this ongoing struggle for access to public land, especially with more acres getting into public ownership each year? Ostlie said that Minnesota agriculture continues to grow, if

not in more production acres each year certainly in the productivity of each acre.

“I credit Minnesota farmers for being very environmentally conscious while still providing a strong and healthy livestock industry. There are always objectors on either side of the fence but in my opinion Minnesota farmers are doing everything right. Our farmers diligently practice conservation and quickly adapt programs that enable them to be even more conservation correct,” Ostlie said.

Conservation grazing talking points • The DNR plans to use conservation grazing as a management tool on approximately 50,000 acres of Wildlife Management Areas. An additional 6,000 acres in Region 3 are now identified as land suitable for grazing so possible grazing is now 56,000 acres.

• In 2013, there were eight new sites for an additional 3,227 acres with fencing, water and other infrastructure installed and prepared for grazing.

• On July 1, $600,000 of LegislativeCitizen Commission on Minnesota Resources funding became available to install grazing infrastructure on 5,000 acres. This work is contracted out to private vendors over the next two to three years.

THE LAND, NOVEMBER 8, 2013

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Started just two years ago with about 10,000 acres of public land being opened for cattle grazing, the goal is at least 50,000 acres for this dual mission of grazing land for cattle and better habitat for wildlife.

“We’re at about 26,000 acres currently,” said Kelly Anderson, a Minnesota Department of Agriculture employee.

Originally the cattle owner was responsible for fencing the grazing area in his lease agreement with the Department of Natural Resources. But Anderson said going forward the DNR will be responsible for perimeter fencing around a designated grazing area. However additional fencing to permit rotational grazing within that designated area will be the responsibility of the individual cattleman.

Fees for grazing DNR land are variable because it somewhat depends upon the decisions of the local DNR office in a given area. “Some lands are put out on a bid basis; some are a flat fee subject to application procedures,” Anderson said.

Regardless, differences of opinion between sportsmen, the DNR and cattlemen will always tend to happen.

“Hunters who hunt the land after grazing are generally very satisfied with the results. Easier hunting and

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Along Stearns County Road 28, Padua, Minn.

arl Perl told the people of Stearns County, Minn., that he nearly starved while escaping the Russian army during World War II. That is why he got into the food business, he said.

“He was Jewish,” said Alex Marthaler, of Padua. “He was in the Red Army on a train. He didn’t know where he was going. He thought maybe Siberia.”

Years later Perl showed Marthaler his deformed ankles.

“He said he got those when he was walking across the Ukraine.”

Perl was wounded twice during his long walk, or earlier.

Perl told Marthaler about his escape when he was farming near Padua.

Before Padua, Perl founded the successful Perl Sausage Co. in Chicago. His obituary says he was a successful businessman in East Germany until 1954.

He was also the father of seven sons. In his 50s he left them, and a divorced wife, in Chicago.

“He loved the American farmer,” Marthaler said. “He was very patriotic.”

He also knew good farmland. His dream was to farm some of America’s richest, most-productive soils.

“His goal was to own 2,000 acres,” Marthaler said. “He ended up with 2,004 acres.”

Karl Perl was like that. He accomplished what he set out to do, whether it was to walk across war-ravaged Europe or buy just the right number of acres of rich Minnesota farmland.

In the 1990s he set about making a shrine to the American farmer. That shrine stands on a high rise of about four acres on Stearns County Road 28.

An American flag flaps in the breeze. A visitor looking north can see thousands

of acres — 2,000 in fact — of corn and soybeans spreading to the horizon.

The shrine’s black stone says simply “God Bless America — Land of Opportunity — To the American Farmer.” In small letters at the bottom is carved, “Dedicated

by Karl Perl, The Jewish Farmer.”

Just beyond the monument are the silos and buildings Perl built as part of his 2,000-acre project. He lived there alone.

The stone is dated for the year 2000.

Marthaler says it probably was erected a little earlier. But 2000 is an interesting date. Karl Perl died in 2001.

The obituary his sons wrote contradicts what he told people in Stearns County. It says he was discharged, with distinction, from the Red Army while recovering from wounds. Perl was his mother’s name. His father was named Katz-Feig. The obituary does not mention his more than two decades as an American Farmer. ❖

The following market analysis is for the week ending Nov. 1.

CORN — Corn sank to three-year lows this week as huge yields outweighed all else. Harvest was once again interrupted as rain moved through the Corn Belt this week, but prices continued to slide lower.

The delay kept basis levels firm for short-term delivery and helped limit losses on the Board of Trade.

The nearby corn spread narrowed to under 10 cents as a result. The slower harvest progresses, the more time there is to catch up on drying and find a place to store PHYLLIS NYSTROM this huge crop — that’s if you can CHS Hedging Inc. find propane for your dryer.

St. Paul Corn conditions were reported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Oct. 28, the latest for this report to be published, which showed a 2 percent increase in the good-excellent category to 62 percent. It’s not unusual to regularly hear yield reports of 200 bushels per acre or higher.

The weekly export sales report this week included three weeks worth of data due to the government shutdown.

Sales at 179 million bushels were more than double trade expectations. It was surprising that Mexico was the biggest buyer, followed next by Japan and then China.

Total export commitments are 808 million bushels and we only need 10.6 million bushels of sales per week to reach the USDA’s projection.

New crop sales were an impressive 29 million bushels. Next week’s sales should be good with additional purchases this week by South Korea and

November has started off in an interesting pattern between futures and the cash livestock markets. Cattle have traded higher in the cash market while the futures market has failed at weekly highs. At the same time the hog futures, which have been discount to a firm cash market, have moved to a premium while the cash market has slipped lower.

Cattle are in a battle of supply versus demand, which has been going on for a long time. The battle is becoming more acute as cattle prices at every level of production have risen to levels that in the past have brought consumer resistance.

JOE TEALE Broker With competitive meats slowly dropping in price at the same time as Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. disposable income to the average consumer declines, the prospect for further consumer resistance is likely to occur. If this scenario continues on its present course, the lack of demand will trump any depletion of the supply of cattle and prices would more than likely decline.At this time it appears that most analysts are concentrating on supply and ignoring the fact that domestic beef demand has declined.

Another red flag has surfaced as far as supply is concerned which could have a major future impact on the cattle market. It appears that, from a global perspective, many foreign countries have been increasing their cattle numbers, which poses a threat to the U.S. beef export market.

November could end up being the crossroads for the cattle market as to whether supply or demand rule, and thus which direction cattle prices head in the future. Producers are urged to pay close attention the market movements in the weeks ahead and protect their inventories See TEALE, pg. 2B

There has definitely been resurgence in agriculture.

When I entered college in the early 1980s, I was told that there were so many opportunities in agriculture you could always find a quality job. At that time, there was a short supply of farm kids who went to college.

Then all of a sudden, “the ’80s” happened and suddenly, all of those job opportunities dried up. My friends all thought that “working in town” was so much better than farming.

Times have changed.

What has been a pleasant trend over the last five years is that the younger generation is starting to come back to the farm. Most of them HUNEKE have gone to college and then deter- ANDY AgStar Director, Agbiz mined that they want to make pro- & Trade Credit/Leasing duction agriculture their life’s work.

In the last few years, the grain industry has seen tremendous profits and it has been easy to bring another generation into the operation. The current generation has been able to maintain their income, they’ve purchased new equipment and maybe they’ve even been able to invest in a getaway up north. In addition, the younger generation has been able to afford good housing, new vehicles and a nice standard of living. In most cases, it’s been an easy transition and both generations have been happy.

So, you might be wondering where I’m going with this. Today, it appears we could be entering a time of different economics.

If you look back, it wasn’t that long ago when we were satisfied with a $50 profit per acre and if we were able to squeeze out $100 per acre, we were pleased. The younger generation, who hasn’t experienced a downSee HUNEKE, pg. 2B

Not too early to look at your 2014 marketing plan NYSTROM, from pg. 1B Japan. South Korean feed groups are thought to have bought in excess of 500,000 metric tons of U.S. MarchApril corn over two days this week, indicating how competitive U.S. corn is with South America and Ukraine. We currently have 66 percent of the total export sales projection committed.

Informa Economics’ latest crop updates this week reflected a corn yield 161.2 bushels per acre, up from their last forecast of 158.8 bu./acre and the USDA’s September 155.3 bu./acre estimate. Informa used planted corn acreage of 95.969 million acres, down 1.43 million acres from the USDA’s last report; harvested acres at 88.25 million compared to the USDA’s 89.1 million. Their production number of 14.223 billion is up from their 14 billion bushel estimate in October and compares to the September USDA 13.843 billion bushel outlook.

The Environmental Protection Agency did not release the 2014 Renewable Fuels Standard mandate this week. Reportedly, 40 percent of

U.S. Representatives signed a letter that urges the EPA to cut the 2014 mandate from 14.4 billion gallons to 13.0 billion gallons. This week’s ethanol production was up 14,000 barrels per day to 911,000 barrels/day and the highest level since June 2012. Profitable production margins were behind the increase which was 10 percent higher than a year ago. Despite higher production, stocks at 628 million gallons were down 23 million gallons to the lowest levels since record keeping began in June 2010.

OUTLOOK: The inability of corn to stage a rally after the tremendous export sales report supports ideas that the harvest low has not been reached.

The overwhelming size of this year’s crop has outweighed any harvest delays and should limit any near-term rallies. The December corn contract closed for the week at $4.27 1/4 per bushel, which was down 12 3/4 cents of the week. For October it was down 13 1/4 cents per bushel. First support in the December corn at $4.25 likely be taken out this week; next support near $4.15 per bushel. Resistance stands at

Advice for the next generation HUNEKE, from pg. 1B turn yet, may not be ready for this change. It’s important that you are proactive in addressing this possibility in order to avoid future stress and to prevent the younger generation from coming back to you and saying, “I wish you would’ve warned me.”

Now is the time to start the discussion on how lower economics will impact your operation and to start preparing the younger group for lessprofitable years. We need to relay our past experiences without going back to “’80s talk,” as that will make them just roll their eyes. It’s important we tell them about the days when the margins meant you had to decide which piece of equipment to upgrade instead of upgrading four or five pieces a year.

Also, warn the younger generation that the pickups they are driving now might be around for quite a few years and they may not be able to take a winter vacation every year. Start preparing the younger generation now for what could be leaner times.

If you haven’t brought your younger partners into the financial discussions of the operation, it is a good time to start looking at the numbers together. If they become involved in

$4.50 per bushel. Have you started on 2014 sales yet?

SOYBEANS — Soybean harvest should be close to complete by the time the crop report is released, if the weather cooperates. Basis levels were mostly steady; but in areas where the bids rolled to the January contract, buyers are trying to take the huge inverse with them. Transportation issues in the Pacific Northwest persist with trains late and vessels having trouble finding berth space. The nearby November-January board inverse surged out to over 15 cents in efforts to bring beans to market.

Weekly export sales, which included data for the last three weeks, were much better than forecasts at 174.2 million bushels. China now has 20 mmt of U.S. beans on the books when last year they were at 15.7 mmt. Soybean sales only need to average 5.2 million bushels per week for the balance of the crop year since we already have 86 percent of the USDA’s projection on the books.

This suggests either sales estimates need to be raised or that sales will have to nearly evaporate for the rest of the year. The development of the South American crop will heavily influence which will occur. South America has been receiving welcomed rains over the last 10 days and is off to a good start. There were no 2014-15 crop year sales reported this week.

Informa Economics new crop updates pegged the bean yield at 43.3 bu./acre versus their October estimate of 41.7 bu./acre and USDA’s 41.2 bu./acre. For production, they are at 3.298 billion, up 122 million bushels from their last update and 149 million higher than the USDA. Acreage num-

bers were 76.918 million planted and 76.118 million harvested. The September USDA figures were 77.2 million planted and 76.4 million harvested.

OUTLOOK: Harvest is winding down and it’s a big crop, so why wouldn’t we expect a weaker market? The market didn’t disappoint us with November beans down 42 cents for the week at $12.51 1/2 per bushel. It showed a miniscule loss of 2 1/2 cents for October. First support in the January soybean contract has fallen to $12.25/$12 per bushel and near-term resistance at $12.88 per bushel.

Looking ahead, record export sales commitments, good crush margins and unwillingness of growers to part with bushels should support basis. Board prices should also share a portion of the burden to keep the pipeline supplied once the bin doors are slammed shut. It’s not too early to be looking at your 2014 marketing plan.

Nystrom’s notes: India intends to cut their minimum wheat export price to $260 per ton, which brings fears that they will increase wheat exports to 5 mmt to 6 mmt, up from less than 1 mmt last year. Contract changes for the week ending Nov. 1: Minneapolis wheat declined 19 1/2 cents, Chicago down 23 cents and Kansas City dropped 25 1/2 cents. December crude oil plummeted $3.24 to $94.61, ultra-low-sulfur diesel fell over 2 1/2 cents, gasoline lost 2 1/4 cents and natural gas crashed 30 cents lower. The U.S. dollar index soared 1.5 percent higher for the week which lent pressure to commodities as well. The next USDA crop report is Nov. 8 at 11 a.m. CT.

TEALE, from pg. 1B when needed.

The hog market appears to have run into resistance once again as it moved over the $90 per hundredweight level basis cash and futures. The resistance came in the pork cutout which began to slip as product became more abundant. This forced the packers to be more reluctant in being aggressive in accumulating live inventory and thus the cash prices began to tumble.

Because the pork cutout level is at a relatively low level as compared to the beef cutout, demand seems to be gaining momentum mainly due to the

value of pork versus beef and chicken.

The recent cold storage report that was released recently suggests a fair draw-down on pork supplies versus a year earlier, which also indicates a fair demand for pork products. This demand, which surfaces as pork prices decline, is likely to provide some support, which will show up as greater packer interest at lower prices which, in effect, reflects better demand.

This could ultimately help stabilize the hog prices in the weeks ahead.

Therefore, producers should use excess premiums in deferred months to protect inventories if given the opportunity. ❖

Comparison of new farm bill proposals from the U.S. Senate and U.S. House (Commodity program provisions)

key issues and factors in reaching a compromise on a new farm bill.

SNAP program provisions Much of the focus on the new farm bill debate in Congress has centered on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which includes the food stamp program, the women, infants and children program, and the school lunch program.

Food stamps were added to the farm bill legislation several decades ago, mainly because the food stamp program is administered through U.S. Department of Agriculture. Currently, over 47 million people in the United States are on food stamps, with an average benefit of $133 per month. This was reduced by 5 percent on Nov. 1, due to the expiration of federal stimulus funding. The number of persons on food stamps has more than doubled since 2008, due to the downturn in the U.S. economy and eligibility changes.

Approximately 554,000 Minnesota residents get benefits through the SNAP, which is about onetenth of the state’s population. About one-third of those receiving the benefits are children, with another one-fourth being elderly, and a majority being in families where at least one adult earns a paycheck.

Future SNAP funding difference between versions

PROGRAMS, from pg. 3B Federal standards allow food stamp assistance to any individual who has an income below $15,415 per year, or $26,344 for a family of three. Many states, including Minnesota, have opted for higher threshold income levels for food stamp eligibility. As referenced earlier, approximately 79 percent of the proposed funding for the new farm bill will go to the SNAPrelated programs.

One of the biggest differences in the U.S. Senate and U.S. House versions of the new farm bill is in the proposed future funding for SNAPs. This was also one of the main roadblocks to passing a new farm bill in the U.S. House. The new farm bill passed by the U.S. Senate would cut the spending on SNAPs by about $400 million per year (0.5 percent), or $4 billion over 10 years. By comparison, the U.S. House proposal would cut SNAP funding by about $3.9 billion per year (5.1 percent), or approximately $39 billion over 10 years.

The proposed funding levels for the

SNAPs are likely to be a major “sticking point” in reaching a compromise on a new farm bill, as both sides are fairly well entrenched in their positions. The U.S. House also proposed to tighten limitations on how various states administer some of the SNAPs, which were not included in the U.S. Senate farm bill.

The farm ‘safety-net’ programs The Senate version of the farm bill would give producers a one-time choice of the Adverse Market Payment program or the revenue-based Ag Risk Coverage program.

The U.S. House farm bill would offer producers a choice between the targetprice based Price Loss Coverage program and the revenue-based Revenue Loss Coverage. The program options available in both the Senate and House versions would be available to producers for all eligible commodities, including corn, soybeans and wheat.

The reference prices in the Senate AMP program would be adjusted annually to a rate that is 55 percent of the

The proposed initial AMP reference prices would be $2.83 per bushel for corn, $6.19/bu. for soybeans and $3.62/bu. for wheat. Current target price levels in the DCP Program are $2.63/bu. for corn, $6/bu. for soybeans and $4.17/bu. for wheat.

In the new AMP program, payments would be made when the 12-month national average price falls below the reference price for a specific commodity.

The ARC program in the Senate farm bill would give producers a choice between utilizing either county-based or farm-based five-year “Olympic” average crop yields. However, the payment rate when using farm yields would be 65 percent of payment acres, as compared to 80 percent of payment acres when using county yields. The ARC benchmark revenue would be the “Olympic” average county or farm yield times the five-year “Olympic” average national average price for a commodity, with the revenue guarantee being set at 88 percent of the benchmark revenue.

ARC payments would be made when the actual revenue in a crop year falls below the revenue guarantee, up to a maximum of 10 percent of the benchmark revenue. The actual revenue would be the actual farm or county yield times the 12-month national average price for the crop marketing year.

Payment limits and means testing Both the Senate and House versions of the new farm bill would have payment limits of $50,000 per individual for the commodity program payments (listed previously), and $75,000 per individual for gains from Commodity Credit Corp. marketing loans and loan deficiency payments. The Senate version of the farm bill would restrict payments to anyone with an adjusted gross income over $750,000, while the House version would set the AGI threshold at $950,000.

Crop insurance The federal crop insurance program has been proposed to remain largely intact with the new farm bill, with some minor adjustments and possible

enhancements; however, there are likely to be several proposals to alter crop insurance provisions in the new farm bill.

Crop insurance programs have come under some criticism in recent months, due to the large federal cost for the

program and some eligibility requirements. The federal government subsidizes about 62 percent of the annual cost of crop insurance premiums to producers, with the farmer paying the balance.

PROGRAMS, from pg. 4B the RLC revenue guarantee being set at 85 percent of the benchmark revenue. RLC payments will be made on 100 percent of planted crop acres, up to a farm unit’s total crop base acres.

RLC would use a five-month national average price to determine the actual crop revenue in a year for a given commodity, rather the 12-month national average price proposed in the ARC program. However, the RLC program payments still would not occur until October in the year following harvest. The 12-month crop marketing year for corn and soybeans runs from Sept. 1 in the year of harvest until Aug. 30 the following year. The five-month price starts on Sept. 1 and ends on Jan. 31.

There are obviously some differences to be worked out between the Senate AMP/ARC programs, and he U.S. House PLC/RLC programs in the conference committee; however, those differences appear to be quite manage-

Organizations want future ‘safety net’ programs PROGRAMS, from pg. 5B The government also subsidizes large crop insurance losses, such as with the 2012 drought.

The Senate farm bill would link conservation compliance to the purchase of federal crop insurance, a provision that is not included in the house farm bill.

Some would like to see the crop insurance subsidy

reduced, while others would like it eliminated for farmers above $750,000 AGI, or see limits placed on crop insurance benefits that a producer can receive.

Another proposal has been to put more restrictions on the harvest price option from revenue protection crop insurance coverage, which could increase the financial risk to farmers. Many activist groups and some members of Congress are pushing for changes

in the crop insurance program.

Bottom line There are also many differences in dairy support programs, conservation programs and other programs to be worked out in the conference committee.

Another major difference in the two versions of the farm bill is that the House farm bill would end the permanent farm legislation, which dates back to the 1938 and 1949 farm bills, which was not addressed in the Senate farm bill.

This measure is strongly opposed by most farm organizations, who want to make sure there is some continuation to farm “safety-net” programs for the future.

Will there be a compromise farm bill that comes out of the conference committee? There are certainly reasons that this could become reality. However, there are some major legislative and philosophical differences that need to be worked out, especially related to the SNAP funding and program provisions. Even if a new farm bill passes out of the conference committee, it must then be passed by both the full U.S. Senate and the U.S. House, which could be difficult to achieve. There is some possibility that a new farm bill could somehow be linked to federal budget legislation later this year, or in early 2014.

Of course, if no agreement can be reached on a new farm bill by the end of 2013, there is always the possibility that the current farm bill could be extended for another one or two years.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed Friday at $1.91, up a penny, and Extra Grade held all week at $1.85. AMS powder averaged $1.8457, up 0.3 cent.

Dry whey averaged 56.04 cents, down 1.1 cent.

■ Speaking of inventory, there’s plenty on hand, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s latest Cold Storage report. Sept. 30 butter stocks totaled 233.25 million pounds, down a nice 30.7 million pounds or 12 percent from August but 37.4 million pounds or 19 percent above September 2012.

American cheese, at 661.27 million pounds, is down 7.1 million pounds or 1 percent from August but 19.6 million pounds or 3 percent above a year ago. The total cheese inventory hit 1.071 billion pounds, down 2.9 million pounds or 3 percent from August but 31.7 million pounds or 3 percent above a year ago.

FC Stone risk management specialist Chris Hildebrand said the report was “neutral to slightly bullish for cheese,” and provided more bullish news for butter. “Both the fundamentals and some technicals are working in favor of the upside.”

Milk supplies are described as tight nationally, according to the DMN. Milk production in the South is beginning to show signs of improving with cooler temperatures and new feed supplies. Midwest output is mostly steady with higher components being reported, and California output is recovering from September’s heatwave and component levels are showing improvements.

September milk production in the top 23 dairy states totaled 14.8 billion pounds, up 1.1 percent from September 2012, according to preliminary data in the USDA’s latest Milk Production report issued Nov. 1. This is the first report to again include milk cow numbers and output per cow since the sequester.

Output in the 50 states totaled 15.8 billion pounds, up 1 percent from a year ago. Revisions lowered the original August total to 15.7 billion pounds, up 2.5 percent from August 2012.

The July-to-September quarter output amounted to 49.4 billion pounds, up 1.5 percent from a year ago.

The average number of milk cows during the quarter was 9.23 million head, up 16,000 from the same period last year.

September cow numbers totaled 8.51 million head, down 19,000 from August but 33,000 more than a year ago. Output per cow averaged 1,741 pounds, up 12 pounds from a year ago.

■ Looking state-by-state, California output was up just 0.4 percent though cow numbers were up 1,000 head and output per cow was up 5 pounds. Wisconsin saw a 1-percent increase thanks to a 15-pound-percow gain and 1,000 more cows being milked.

Idaho was down 1.5 percent on 9,000 fewer cows.

NMPF: Dairy farmers need ‘real stability’ not ‘masks’ MIELKE, from pg. 8B New York saw a 1.8-percent increase, thanks to a 30pound gain per cow. Pennsylvania was up 1.5 percent on a 25-pound gain per cow, though cow numbers were down 1,000. Minnesota was unchanged in milk output, cow numbers and output per cow.

The biggest increase was seen in Florida, up 7.1 percent, followed by Kansas at 5.9 percent and Iowa at 5.5 percent. Idaho recorded the biggest loss, followed by New Mexico, off 1.4 percent, and Missouri, off 1 percent.

Michigan was up 3.4 percent on a 30-pound gain per cow and 7,000 more cows. Texas was up 1.4 percent despite a 5-pound loss per cow but cow numbers were up 7,000 head. Washington state was up 1.6 percent on 4,000 more cows. Output per cow was unchanged from a year ago.

The USDA’s Livestock Slaughter report showed an estimated 258,600 dairy cows were slaughtered under federal inspection in September, down 7,400 from August, but 7,800 more than September 2012.

The January-September total was estimated at 2.342 million head, 53,900 more than the same period in 2012. Through the third week in October,

weekly cow slaughter has averaged about 60,600 head for the month.

■ Internationally, milk production in most countries is approaching seasonal low points of the production year. Volumes are mostly higher than year-ago levels, continuing the trend that started during the summer.

Australian milk production is at or near the seasonal peak. Current production is trending 1 to 2 percent below last year, but industry analysts forecast year-end totals to be about level with last year.

New Zealand milk output is near the seasonal peak with estimates of a 4-percent increase over last year.

■ Cooperatives Working Together accepted four requests for export assistance this week to sell 304,238 pounds of Cheddar cheese and 220,462 pounds of butter to customers in Asia and North Africa. The CWT’s 2013 exports total 111.6 million pounds of cheese, 81 million pounds of butter, 44,092 pounds of anhydrous milk fat and 218,258 pounds of whole milk powder to 37 countries.

The first public meeting for the 2013 farm bill conference committee was held this week. The National Milk Producers Federation stated in a press release that “for America’s dairy farmers, this is no time for a game of congressional trick or treat. The final product must provide farmers real stability, and not be a costumed disguise that masks the serious problems that will result if the House dairy program were enacted.”

The federation praised the Senate’s Dairy Security Act as “the only option that will provide help to farmers when they need it most, while also limiting taxpayers’ exposure through its market stabilization mechanism.

“In contrast, the proposal that finally emerged from the House is a bad trick: it would be fiscally irresponsible and ineffective. Lacking the Senate’s market stabilization program, the House approach would cause farmers to suffer prolonged periods of poor margins, while taxpayers subsidize dairy processors through artificially-low milk prices.”

The International Dairy Foods Association reports that the four principal conferees, Senate Agriculture Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., Ranking See MIELKE, pg. 11B

THE LAND, NOVEMBER 8, 2013 << MILKER’S MESSAGE >> “Where Farm and Family Meet”

MIELKE, from pg. 10B Member Thad Cochran, R-Miss., House Committee on Agriculture Chairman Frank Lucas, R-Okla., and Ranking Member Collin Peterson, D-Minn., are expected to meet in the coming weeks to determine if a general agreement can be reached on the major differences between the House and Senate bills. No further meetings of the committee have been announced at this time, and the House of Representatives will not be in session again until Nov. 12.

IDFA “strongly encourages the conference committee to accept the House dairy language and to include its provisions in the final bill,” according to an IDFA press release. “Milk prices would significantly increase and jobs will be lost if the Senate prevails over the House on this issue. The conference should follow the lead of the House, which rejected this controversial new dairy program to impose milk quotas on dairy farmers.”

■ California dairy producers and lawmakers are frustrated with their agriculture secretary. Sen. Tom Berryhill, R-Modesto, who sits on the Senate agriculture committee and is a Stanislaus County farmer, told Western United Dairymen, “I thought we did come to an agreement with the Dairy Institute about a dairy pricing mechanism that would allow my guys to stay in business.”

Referring to fellow ag committee members Sen. Anthony Cannella, R-Ceres, and Chair Cathleen Galginai, D-Stockton, Berryhill said, “the three of us thought there was an agreement. On the processor side they did not want to give anything. I thought it (the deal) was a happy middle ground. We all thought we had a deal that day and were very surprised to come back (after summer recess) and find everything had fallen out.”

Berryhill said that Secretary Karen Ross “has made her decision to kick this can down the road to June. We will have to live with that and it will put us back to the drawing board. We will have to sit down and talk some more.

“The industry’s current financial crisis is driven in part by federal mandates on ethanol which are driving feed prices to record highs,” Berryhill said. “Feed prices will continue high for the near future or so.

This industry’s dynamics have changed.” Looking ahead, Berryhill remains committed to finding a solution. “Kicking that can down the road doesn’t help anyone.”

The Milk Producer’s Council’s Rob Vandenheuvel wrote in his Oct. 24 newsletter that “obviously, given the current financial state of the California dairy families (as evidenced in CDFA’s own data, as well as the barrage of bank foreclosures and dispersal sales), there is ample evidence that CDFA has failed in their task to bring about and maintain a reasonable amount of stability and prosperity in the production of market milk.

“If this were a national crisis, we might understand. But the rest of the country is not feeling the same pain that California’s dairy farmers are. How is it that the California dairy industry, in the middle of 38-plus million California residents and an even
