To the Editor: Much has been written about the farm bill, or should I say potential farm bill. As far as the dairy portion, people are concerned that the permanent law will go in to effect. I believe the biggest difference between farms in the late-1940s and now is profitability. In the late-’40s you could borrow money on character and pay for your farm in a few short years. Right now, the price of milk is about

Letter: Produce your own food, or don’t complain To the Editor: It seems there is not an end of the relentless, unfounded assaults in agriculture in Todd County, Minnesota. Much of this is due to NIMBYs — Not In My Back Yarders. Everyone demands the best food while criticizing the practices of those who produce it for them. If everyone in this nation would produce more than they consume, there would not be a need for production agriculture. Anyone who does not feed themselves does not have a basis for complaint. We would appreciate the opportunity to provide the following information for the readers of your paper. This is not based in hysterical emotional-

If everyone in this nation would produce more than they consume, there would not be a need for production agriculture.

OPINION

ism. It is based on facts collected from the National Agricultural Statistics Service and other government agencies, presented at the Minnesota Farm Bureau meeting, and other sources. In 1960, there were 59 million pigs in this country. It took six pounds of feed to produce one pound of pork. Today, there are 59.8 million pigs in this country and it only takes three pounds of feed to produce one pound of pork. In 1960, there were 96.2 million beef

cattle. The feed conversion was eight pounds of feed to produce one pound of beef. Today, there are 98.1 million cattle and the conversion ratio is 4-to-1. In 1960, there were 19 million dairy cows producing 123 billion pounds of milk. Today only 9.2 million cows produce 189 billion pounds of milk. This area alone reduces the carbon footprint needed to produce milk and cheese for the world by 70 percent. Today, mainly due to urban sprawl and the unincorporated decimation of open space, there are 50 million fewer crop acres as there were in 1930. That is 15 percent fewer acres for food production. This is all occurring while the number of people in the world has tripled since 1960.

In 2010, there was 87 percent more corn produced in this nation than in 1980 while applying 4 percent less nutrients. In approximations, that amounts to twice as much food with the same amount of crop nutrients. Do people realize about 17 percent of the arable land is irrigated while the same produces well over 40 percent of the food? It is estimated over 90 percent of potatoes grown are irrigated. If one does not like irrigation, quit eating french fries. Unfortunately these facts seem to be irrelevant to some NIMBYs and, as a consequence, it is becoming more and more difficult for local food producers to stay in business. Roger Zastrow Minnesota Farm Bureau Todd County delegate Long Prairie, Minn. Roger Dukowitz Minnesota Farm Bureau Policy Committee District 4 Representative Browerville, Minn.

Letter: Conciliatory attitude will aid public’s view of ag should be concerned and, if necessary, criticize the practices of those who produce any product for us all. If it were not for watchdogs such as Rachel Carson, for example, and her crusade against DDT, we would not have the majestic bald eagle. If it had not been for public pressure there would not be state and federal meat inspectors. If it were not for concern over certain antibiotics being fed to hogs, those drugs would not have been recently withdrawn from use. If it were not for public pressure and competition from foreign auto makers we would not have the vast improvements in crash safety and gas mileage today. If it were not for the horrible Dust Bowl we would not have the Soil and Water Conservation Districts which, in my opinion, have gone a long way in preserving the productive lands we have today.

ence, diethylstilbestrol would not have been banned from use as a growth promotant in the cattle industry. What about BHT? This list is almost endless. And further, the present controversy over GMOs will possibly produce pressure to do good science rather then “emotionalism” in that area. (Yes, I am reserving an opinion on that issue.) Just as farmers are consumers of the farm equipment industry and the farm chemical and fertilizer industries, we

have every right to complain to these industries telling them of the problems with their products. The food consumers have every right to be concerned. But, those concerns should be based on good science not emotional knee jerks. Remember, farm families also eat. A strong public relations program with a conciliatory and cooperative attitude is much needed. Malcolm G. Maxwell Menahga, Minn.

THE LAND, JANUARY 31, 2014

To the Editor: The letter to the editor “Produce your own food, or don’t complain” was thought provoking, to say the least. (Editor’s note: That letter, appearing in this issue on the previous page, originally ran in the Jan. 10 Northern Edition of The Land.) I believe the attitude presented by Roger Zastrow and Roger Dukowitz is damaging to the public perception of our industry. Certainly, we all should be proud of the productive advance of our industry and much should be said about that major advance. Might I add that many of those wonderful achievements are based on good science. I also decry urban sprawl. Most of those advances were during my tenure as a corn-soybean-hog farmer in southern Minnesota. However, consumers have every right to be concerned with what goes into their bodies. Indeed, we are what we eat. In our highly specialized economy, we all

The series later will cover other policy topics of importance to agriculture such as immigration, renewable fuels, animal welfare and local issues. Project leader and author Roman Keeney notes in “The End of the Direct Payment Era” that the idea of eliminating direct payments — government subsidies provided to farmers regardless of need — has near unanimous support among lawmakers as they now debate a new farm bill.

A Purdue University agricultural economist is producing a series of publications to help farmers, policymakers and taxpayers better understand changing U.S. agricultural policy and develop informed opinions about them. The Purdue Extension free publications under the series title of “APEX,” an acronym for Ag Policy Explained, will delve into public policy issues and how they affect the agricultural economy. The first publication, “The End of the Direct Payment Era in U.S. Farm Policy,” explains why direct payments to farmers likely will end with enactment of a new five-year farm bill and how the elimination might affect the agricultural economy as other support programs are created. Initial topics of the other publications also will focus on farm bill issues, including agricultural risk and policy, farm bill budget and baseline, farm bill eligibility and pay-

What exactly was that farm bill battle about anyway? According to most Capitol Hill sources, the once-2012, then-2013 and now 2014 farm bill should clear its final hurdle before the end of January so Congress — after three years of ugly fighting — finally can approve a new farm law.

Cover story: Propane users get sticker shock

THE LAND, JANUARY 31, 2014 John Cross/Mankato Free Press

Minnesota will be losing a pipeline that carries 40 percent of the state’s propane. The 1,900-mile Cochin pipeline — which runs through the Mankato area — carries propane from western Canada all the way to the eastern United States. Canada is producing less propane, so the company that owns the pipeline, Kinder Morgan, will stop propane shipments, reverse the pipeline’s flow, and send light petroleum condensate from the United States for use by Canada’s booming oil industry. Last year, Gov. Mark Dayton, the state commerce commissioner and propane wholesalers met to discuss strategies to avoid supply problems when the pipeline stops sending propane this April. Wholesalers said they are building and converting terminals to take propane deliveries by train and

expanding propane storage, among other things. Those who live in towns and cities and heat with natural gas may be seeing some price increases as well. The cold weather has caused a jump in natural gas prices sold on exchanges, particularly in the northeast. Consumers who use natural gas may not suffer as much, though. That’s because many big utilities are able to hedge natural gas prices by purchasing futures contracts. Still, natural gas prices have been depressed in recent years because of a supply glut and relatively mild winters. But supplies have tightened a bit recently and some analysts expect prices to move higher throughout the winter.

Drivers have waited as When the propane delivery long as seven hours to truck rolled up to Tim be loaded. Gieseke’s rural New Ulm, Minn., residence a few days ago, the driver filled Gieseke’s tank with 224 gallons of fuel and handed him the bill. “It was $3.75 a gallon. Around $800,” Gieseke said. As it turns out, Gieseke got somewhat of a bargain. On Jan. 24, local propane dealers were selling it for around $5 a gallon. For those who heat their homes with propane, the price spiral — with no guarantee it won’t continue upward — is a financial burden. Most rural propane tanks are 500 gallons and are filled 80 percent full, or about 400 gallons. At $5 that’s a $2,000 bill. How long a tank lasts varies widely. Someone heating a home and maybe a larger shop could go through that tank in about a month. Gieseke is hoping he will be able to nurse his now full tank through much of the rest of the winter. “I mentioned to the family that we’re turning (the heat) down a notch,” he said. The price spike, being felt nationwide, is caused by a couple of things. Corn harvested by farmers across the Midwest last fall contained more moisture than normal, meaning they used a lot of propane to heat burners that dry the corn kernels before being stored inside grain bins. Then bitter cold weather came quick and has persisted, increasing usage across the nation. One area co-op manager, who didn’t want his name used, said it’s become more and more difficult to get propane. Many of the area propane providers get product from pipelines near Eagle Lake, Minn., and Vernon Center, Minn. But little is available at Eagle Lake, and the Vernon Center pipeline is being allocated, so each propane business can only take a certain amount. “We’ve been to Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas,” the co-op manager said of the business’ pursuit of propane. “Next week we’re going to Texas.” Truckers waiting at the Vernon Center terminal Jan. 24 said they have up to a seven-hour wait in line. Other big terminals around the country have waiting lines that stretch to 24 hours or more. The cost of a tanker truck driving to Nebraska and back for propane can add around 90 cents a gallon to the product’s cost. “If the cold continues and the supply continues to be tight, I don’t see prices coming down in the near future,” said the co-op manager. The reason he didn’t want his name used is because he hasn’t been a popular guy lately as customers take their frustrations out on him. “That’s pretty much what my day consists of.” His problems of getting enough propane to Minnesota could become considerably worse later this year.

MSP aims for big things with addition of unit-train facility By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Started in 2003 and a biodiesel refining facility added in 2005, the Minnesota Soybean Processors cooperative at Brewster, Minn., is about Rob Hofstra to join the big leagues. Despite construction slowed by winter challenges, a new $8 million unittrain facility capable of 110 hopper bottom rail cars should be operational in February, or early March at the latest. Each car can carry 100 tons of soybean meal. Rob Hofstra, commercial manager of MSP, said the completion of the unit-train facility this spring will dramatically improve both the quantity

ket. “That ramped up slightly this past year and we see an expanding market because of the expanding pork and aquaculture industries developing in several of the Asian countries,” Hofstra said. Development of their unit-train loading facility will also open up the Mexico market. “We’ll run 110-car unit trains to the (Mississippi) river; then barge our meal down the Mississippi to New Orleans for ocean vessels delivering to foreign markets around the world,” Hofstra said. With the expanding fish, poultry and pork industry in Mexico, he sees this neighbor as potentially being a big market for U.S. soybean meal, including MSP meal. “Because Mexico is so dry, they can’t grow all their own soybeans. They do have some crushing facilities but the real growth for them is bringing in meal ready-to-use. Their No. 1 source of protein is eggs so they have a huge poultry industry. And MSP soybean meal hopefully will soon be part of the diet of those millions of laying hens in Mexico.” He said the added complexity of the Mexican market is that they don’t allow just a single train car but they do permit unit trains across their borders. “So this is a tremendous opportunity for us to grow our market share,” he said.

Farm bill passes the House; awaits action by the Senate Minnesota Farmers Union is pleased the farm bill is one step closer to becoming law with passage by the House of Representatives Jan. 29 on a vote of 251-166. MFU thanks Reps. Collin Peterson, Tim Walz, Betty McCollum, John Kline, Erik Paulsen and Rick Nolan for supporting the bill. “We are one step closer to final passage of the farm bill and giving farmers what they need and deserve — security as they plan for the future,” said Doug Peterson, Minnesota Farmers Union president. “I want to thank Rep. Peterson for his work as ranking member of the agriculture committee, Rep. Walz for his work on the conference committee, and Reps. McCollum, Kline, Paulsen and Nolan for helping pass this common sense piece of legislation that protects farmers as they provide food, fuel and fiber for this country.” Here are some of the Farmers Union priorities that were included in the bill.

• Approximately $4 billion in livestock disaster funds, retroactively available to those who suffered tremendous losses last October; • Repeals direct payments; • Does not repeal permanent law; • Provides $900 million of mandatory funding for energy programs; • Includes $30 million a year in mandatory funding for the Farmers Market and Local Food Promotion Program, with $10 million a year in discretionary funding; • Includes $20 million a year in mandatory funding for the Organic Agriculture Research and Extension Initiative; The farm bill conference report now needs to be passed by the Senate before heading to the president for his signature. ❖

Export federation uses education to create meat demand

Hanes said that these “low-value” variety meats are tongues, livers, the uteri, etc. “These items are sold in the international market at substantially higher prices which of course is a net plus for the U.S. beef industry.”

Pulling the American side together with the foreign side is how these purchase agreements happen. “Education is the key thing. Any time you’re in a market situation, that local buyer is going to think his product is the best. So we have to convince them on the safety, the quality, the consistency and the reasonable prices that the American livestock industry can provide,” Hanes said. A good example of the value of education is the Japanese market for U.S.

He credits the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association and the Minnesota Pork Producers Association for big help in introducing new pork cuts like back ribs into the Japanese market. Again thanks to an education process on how to cut their carcasses, pork back ribs are now a popular consumer item in Japan, Hanes said. Mexico continues to be a major market both for U.S. pork and beef, though Hanes describes the Mexican market as more of a commodity market. “They’re more price sensitive whereas Japan is more value-driven so we get much higher premiums for good quality products. However, Mexico buys a lot of those cuts which are of little value in our domestic market.” He credits the growing overseas market for U.S. meats to a couple of things happening. “Logically No. 1 is a

He added that those same factors currently impacting U.S. production also are impacting U.S. competitors in this world meat market. But this bidding “war” for U.S. meat products versus meats from other countries varies from country to country. He said that Japan, for example, with

Right now Brazil has recaptured the title of being No. 1 in beef exports. However a big surprise to U.S. livestock producers is the fact that India is now No. 1 worldwide in “beef” exports. “We’re talking water buffalo,” Hanes said. “They categorize it as beef. They export almost all that they raise. Their major markets are China and other neighboring countries in Southeast Asia. Perhaps they deserve credit for developing new markets for beef, but we quibble with the quality of their ‘beef’. This allows us to come in and ‘up sell’ with U.S. beef as these markets evolve.” Hanes said the potential of the export business for U.S. meat products will continue to rise despite the ongoing competition from Brazil, Argentina and Australia. Hanes was interviewed at the recent MN Ag Expo in Mankato, Minn. ❖

With the single break a few years back of a single “mad cow” situation in America, Japan suddenly quit buying U.S. beef. “Thanks to a heavy educational campaign, we’ve finally rebuilt that market and Japan is now again the biggest buyer of U.S. beef,” he said, adding that Japan is also now a huge market for U.S. pork.

“High-quality and reasonably priced proteins for the world are the strength of the U.S. livestock industry. Yes, the last few years have been a challenge for our meats because of the higher feed costs. Plus the supply of beef cattle is now the lowest in recent history. And now the PED disease issue may be limiting the supply of U.S. pork. So how we balance pricing of U.S. meats on the global market is always a challenge, even more so right now,” Hanes said.

The strength of the USMEF is its network of 18 offices around the globe. “These offices cover about 120 different countries. They are staffed by local people so they understand the culture, the customs of each country. So if someone in a particular country has a question about buying U.S. meat products, a visit to their meat export office is often the starting point,” he said.

growing population worldwide, especially in the Asian markets. But equally vital is the growing ‘middle class’ economies in some of these countries. As people have more disposable income the usual place for change is in their diets. They want to eat better; they want more protein in their foods and that’s why U.S. pork and beef is such a preferred food item.

about the challenges of younger people wanting to get into the industry, “but I’m also optimistic,” she said. “There are a lot of bright young individuals out there. Some of these larger hog operations offer multiple opportunities that wouldn’t have happened on smaller farms. And the service industry for swine producers keeps getting bigger also.” The Stevermer farm, near Easton, Minn., is a 150-sow farrow-to-finish operation. “Farrow-to-finish is almost atypical in swine operations these days but that’s what works well for my husband and me,” she said. Most of their market pigs go to Compart Family Farms for use in Compart’s branded pork products. She’s encouraged about the competitiveness of pork in retail counters across America. “Pork is showing some domestic growth, partly because of its favorable price compared to beef. Today pork products are also very competitive with chicken and turkey. As people learn more about how to prepare pork they are finding pork is a very flexible meat product. And this definitely is moving pork into more

retail sales,” she said. She went on to say pork is a versatile meat, a good protein source and is commended for its flavor and leanness. Will so called “meatless” meats eventually get into the market or is this mostly a research fantasy at this stage? She chuckled, but said, “that ‘meatless Monday’ did create some interest. I think there will always be those challenges and we do have a consuming public that at times seems easily distracted with new foods and new health tastes. That is why our pork checkoff program is so vital. Those funds enable us to do our own promotions and to find new markets for our products, both domestically and overseas where about 25 percent of our pork products are now sold.” She doesn’t dodge the fact that as more of our population gets further removed from agriculture, the “antiag” agenda seemingly gets more appealing to more people. “That’s why telling our own story is important. We need more producers involved in telling their story about pork. It’s a See PEDV, pg. 13

Excerpts from a story by Minnesota Public Radio News and Mankato Free Press Staff Writer Dan Linehan Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus was first reported in Minnesota last May. It doesn’t make humans sick, but the disease is shrinking herds and could mean higher prices at the grocery story, Minnesota Public Radio News reported. The number of cases in Minnesota has jumped by almost two-thirds in the past month, and the disease has been found in about 300 hog barns around the state, MPR reported. Talk of the disease dominated the recent Minnesota Pork Congress at the Minneapolis Convention Center, said David Preisler, executive director of the Mankato-based Minnesota Pork Producers Association. Preisler said the cold weather has made biosecurity more difficult

because the virus can survive wherever there is moisture, even if it’s solid ice. Cleaning trucks and equipment is doable, but getting them completely dry is much more difficult. Paul FitzSimmons, a partner at Mapleton-based Protein Sources, said it has been difficult for employees to watch helplessly as entire litters die. The pigs are born looking fine, but 10 hours later the infected piglets are facing euthanasia to spare them from further suffering. “In 40 years, I’ve never seen anything like it,” he said, in terms of how quickly it spreads and how fatal the virus is for piglets. While the disease can’t sicken humans, it has taken an emotional toll. “It was devastating to the people on the farm,” FitzSimmons said. “Those people care about those animals.” He said three of the company’s 15 sow farms have been infected. ❖

It’s a tremendously competitive market out there when it comes to how consumers spend their food dollar. Like true Minnesotans, we’re kind of modest and don’t like talking about ourselves.

‘Green’ pig barns safer, more efficient housing By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Are pig barns going “green”? Swine specialists and engineers from four major Midwestern universities are working on the blueprints right now to help make this segment of American agriculture more energy efficient. At the recent Minnesota Pork Congress, an eye-catching display was a 30-foot by 8-foot trailer labeled the “4State Swine Ventilation Training” unit. Somewhat looking like a fancy Minnesota ice fishing house, this portable facility was chock full of ventilation equipment components to demonstrate the technologies now available to keep swine and workers comfortable and free of obnoxious fumes and odors. “We’re targeting barn managers, operators of facilities and individual hog producers. Our goal is to train and educate about how ventilation systems should be working in confinement hog facilities,” said University of Minnesota agricultural engineer Larry Jacobson. Collaborators with the U of M include Iowa State University, South

We’re targeting barn managers, operators of facilities and individual hog producers. Our goal is to train and educate about how ventilation systems should be working in confinement hog facilities.

— Larry Jacobson Dakota State University and the University of Nebraska. Their one-day workshops — Managing Your Unseen Employee: The Ventilation System — utilize both an agricultural engineer and a swine specialist. Major components of the program include: • Animal environmental needs • Static pressure/inlet velocity relationship • Cooling systems • Basic components (fans, inlets, controllers) • Troubleshooting systems • Hands-on time using the equipment

Due to the detailed agenda, Jacobson said these workshops are generally limited to 30 to 35 people. The cost is $1,750 per workshop session, or about $50 per person, which includes lunch and materials for all participants, including a notebook containing specific details on information presented. “Morning presentation deals with the fundamentals of ventilation and how swine react to different environments,” Jacobson said. “The p.m. sessions are a hands-on event with participants shown exactly how the different ventilation components built into this traveling classroom work in an actual hog facility.” The afternoon session demonstrates the importance of a vacuum in your hog barn to make air movement work properly. It also explains how air inlets are set and other management tactics to continuously provide good air

exchange. “Maintaining this good environment is important both for animals and workers,” Jacobson said. Modern ventilation systems can be fairly sophisticated — with computerized controls, even daunting, he said, if you don’t have a good understanding of the importance of proper air movement within a livestock facility. In view of the sophistication of modern swine housing, Jacobson stressed that built-in alarm systems have now become a priority. “Either high temperature alarms or, in case of power failure, an automatic alarm system is high priority,” he said, indicating a stand-by generator as an important piece of equipment. With power failure it can be a matter of only 30 minutes until animal deaths start occurring, Jacobson said, even in the winter season. Hazardous gases like ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, methane and other greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide) can be a quick concern if air movement within a hog facility suddenly cuts off. Does this suggest that negatively charged ionization of the air could be a benefit in reducing the impact of “bad air” within a hog confinement system? “Yes, I’ve become very much aware of the Clean Air system of Baumgartner See GREEN, pg. 15

Modern systems can generate ‘drastically cleaner air’ What’s next in further improving the overall environment for swine? “We’re now working on what we call a ‘green pig barn’ which offers some major suggestions in better pig comfort,” Jacobson said. “For example not using indoor lagoons but storing pig manure outside. Also the ability to provide cooling inside the structure; not air conditioning, but making structural changes so animals don’t get hot. This also would reduce some of the ventilation. Move less air and you reduce emissions. “These concepts need to be built into the total design of such a structure. South Dakota State is intending to employ some of these air quality items displayed here at Pork Expo into a totally new ‘green’ pig barn that will become part of their educational efforts with pork producers.” This will still be a partially slatted floor, sort of where we were when slats first started coming into practice 40 years ago, Jacobson said. Bad dunging

habits when it got warm was an issue with partial slats but with this system, floors will be cooler and that should eliminate the dunging on the solid floor area. Also in a “green” pig barn some of the heat will be removed via conduction through the floor rather than just through the air. “We’re looking at other things to make buildings tighter and better control the total air movement within the structure,” he said. “It may not look that much different than conventional hog barns today but it may have some impact on the perception that the industry projects to the non-agricultural audience.” Jacobson estimated that more than 5,000 swine practitioners have partici-

A more-intensive program called “The Real World of Ventilation” gets even deeper into the role of ventilation in modern swine production.

GREEN, from pg. 14 Environics,” Jacobson said. “Their electrostatic system is one of the techniques to control dust and odorous gases attached to those particles. Their technology is one of the mitigation methods being looked at in this ongoing effort to improve air quality for our livestock.” He also noted biofilters which treat the exhaust air as it leaves the building, and additives added to either feed or manure pits as a means to lessen dirty air issues. “It’s difficult to make general statements as to which ‘system’ works better because the feeds, the water and animal numbers within a building can be different from one swine producer to the next,” Jacobson said. “But definitely we now have systems and techniques today which can generate drastically cleaner air. And generally that equates to better gains, reduced mortalities and better working conditions for employees also.”

Minnesota soybean growers adding legal talent In view of the tremendous complexities of the environment, especially when it comes to water quality issues, we ... decided we needed to have more internal expertise for Minnesota soybean producers.

— Paul Simonsen, MSR&PC chairman

Paul Simonsen

Joe Smentek

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

“Unit train shipments to the West Coast have come on rapidly the past couple of years,” Simonsen said, adding that due to growing export markets in several Asian countries, more and more Minnesota beans are moving by unit trains. “Our local co-op elevator is now doing almost weekly runs of unit trains to the West Coast. Ports on the West Coast are then loading Panamax ships which can haul 56,000 tons of soybeans.” He mentioned Vietnam took its first delivery of a Panamax load of soybeans last year. Vietnam has also built two new soybean crushing facilities. “And thanks to their growing swine industry and their huge aquaculture industry,” Simonsen said, “Vietnam looks to be a good and growing customer of U.S. soybeans with a good amount of that being Minnesota-grown beans.” Simonsen noted that Vietnam is now No. 3 in aquaculture production and No. 5 in hog production. Currently 56 percent of Minnesota soybeans move into export markets. China is still the No. 1 buyer, but he noted that combined sales of U.S. soybeans to Vietnam and Indonesia the first week of January approximately equaled total sales to China. Better beans Of interest is the fact that tempeh, a traditional

soy dish of the Indonesian people, is now using U.S. soybeans. U.S. soybeans are moving directly into that market for human consumption and GMO origin is not even an issue. Tempeh is made by a natural culturing fermentation process that binds soybeans into a cake form, similar to a firm vegetarian burger patty. The fermentation process also gives it a higher content of protein, dietary fiber and vitamins. “They prefer U.S. soybeans,” Simonsen said, “because the color of our soybeans is more uniform, more appealing to the Indonesia people. When we were visiting Indonesia last year we were shown soybeans shipped in from Argentina ... and noticed purple beans, red soybeans and other assorted colors. Supposedly those were No. 1 soybeans. We ship No. 2 soybeans and ours look better than the beans from Argentina.” He firmly believes that thanks to trade missions by Minnesota soybean farmers to these Asian countries, many of their buyers who used to buy on protein content are now understanding the superior nutritional value of Minnesota beans because of a better amino acid profile. Simonsen recalls a meeting in Davenport, Iowa, last year attended by various buyers from several Asian countries. “At the table the guy from Thailand asked the guy from the Philippines, ‘Why do you buy only U.S. soybeans?’ The Philippine guy said ‘In feeding trials we find the U.S. soybeans always outperform soybeans from South America.” Anecdotal evidence such as this apparently convinced Thailand to initiate some of its own feeding trials. Ever since, Simonsen said, sales of Minnesota soybeans to Thailand have been increasing. “This has been a process,” he said. “We’ve been to Thailand every year for three or four years now, talking to major pork and aquaculture people; also the major buyers of their soybeans and soy meal. “Cost is often an issue when selling against Brazilian or Argentinean soybeans, but this fall when a Thailand group came over to visit us they, in essence, said ‘We’re going to buy your soybeans even if they do cost more. We’re going to get some into our pork and fish system so we can determine the nutritional bonus of your Minnesota beans.’” To contact the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association and Minnesota Soybean Research & Promotion Council, e-mail info@mnsoybean.com or log on to www.MNSoybean.org or call (888) 896-9678. ❖

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Perhaps a sign of the times, the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association has added an attorney to their staff. “We see a major concern developing in this ‘freedom-to-farm’ arena on legal issues dealing with the environment,” said Paul Simonsen, chairman of the Minnesota Soybean Research & Promotion Council, “and more specifically on water concerns dealing with tiling and movement of water from our agricultural fields. “As we’ve participated in some of these regional and state meetings with the Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Agency and other agencies, we’ve at times felt inadequately prepared to present our point of view, especially with the legal talent these agencies bring to these meetings.” Joe Smentek, a specialist in environmental law, is the new hire for the Mankato-based MSGA. “In view of the tremendous complexities of the environment, especially when it comes to water quality issues,” said Simonsen, a Renville County producer, “we council members decided we needed to have more internal expertise for Minnesota soybean producers. But the reality is that Joe’s work will deal with all commodity groups protecting their freedom to operate.” International trade Interviewed at the recent MN Ag Expo in Mankato, Simonsen also gave an update on the growing market for Minnesota soybeans and soybean products such as soy meal and soy oil. Traditionally Minnesota-produced soybeans are a tad lower in protein content which often is an issue in international trade, especially into the constantly growing Asian markets. But thanks to some extensive research and amino acid profile nutrition work by University of Minnesota scientists, Minnesota-grown soybeans have a nutritional advantage on key amino acids which are the building blocks of protein. “Thanks to this research,” he said, “we’re finding the protein quality of our beans is at least as good as, and often better than, soybeans grown in other parts of the U.S. soybean belt. So what used to be a trade disadvantage has now become a trading advantage for our soybeans.” A freight advantage may also be emerging.

Grain Outlook

Livestock Angles Cattle launch fireworks so far

2014 playing quiet market time, so far

Editor’s Note: Tim Emslie, CHS Hedging market analyst, is sitting in this week for Phyllis Nystrom, the regular “Grain Outlook” columnist. The following market analysis is for the week ending Jan. 24. CORN — The corn market showed quiet gains this week, up 5.5 cents for the nearby March contract and up just 0.25 on the December contract. Exports had a solid week at 693,000 metric tons, and daily sales announcements that will be reflected in the weekly total next week showed sales to TIM EMSLIE Japan, Spain and Egypt. Rains CHS Hedging Inc. in Argentina over the previous St. Paul weekend stabilized the crop there. Ukraine is seeing increasing political unrest that some are watching for any potential disruption in the export program. Weekly ethanol production made a big rebound this week to 905,000 barrels per day, up 37,000 per day. The National Grain and Feed Association and the North American Export Grain Association issued a joint statement asking Syngenta to stop selling corn seed varieties that lack approval for export to China. There are two traits at issue — one was responsible for the Chinese rejections in the current marketing year and the other is being launched commercially this year. There is some talk about when China might consider approval of new biotech traits. Policy meetings of the requisite committee of the Chinese ag ministry are scheduled in late-March and again in June, and U.S. officials are pushing hard for Chinese approval of the traits. See EMSLIE, pg. 19

Well it should be said that January in the livestock markets was nothing more than an incredible fireworks show, particularly in the cattle market. New all-time prices paid for cattle, feeder cattle and beef at the wholesale level. This all happening while hog prices spun around like a pinwheel going nowhere and remaining near steady as the month nears its end. Granted all the fireworks were in the cattle market over the past few months and these fireworks will likely continue. However, the direction of cattle prices may change during the following months. Like similar commodity JOE TEALE markets in recent years, the catBroker tle market has reached a pinnacle Great Plains Commodity in prices that will undoubtedly Afton, Minn. affect the demand for beef in the future. This will force the packers to be more frugal in the acquisition of live inventory to try to maintain their margins. Demand is now more than likely going to affect the price of cattle rather than supply despite the fact that cattle numbers will remain smaller than last year. The disparity of beef to all other protein sources is bound to hurt the demand and with that the beef cutouts will more than likely move back into line with these alternate sources, mainly chicken and pork. On Jan. 24, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released a monthly Cattle-on-Feed report as of Jan. 1. The results are: on-feed, 95 percent; placements, 101 percent; and marketed 99 percent. The report was seen as slightly negative as placeSee TEALE, pg. 19

As we head into February, the grain markets are entering a time period that has traditionally been pretty quiet. So far, 2014 seems to be starting the same way. The U.S. Department of Agriculture gave us a little bit of a surprise on Jan. 10 when they lowered the 2013 corn production by 1.6 bushels per acre to 158.8 bushels per acre for a national corn yield. Corn usage for the 2013-14 season was also raised by 150 million bushels, providing a brief lift to the markets before retreating. In the same report, the national soybean yield was raised 0.3 bushels per acre to 43.3 bushels per acre. Soybean exports were GLENN WACHTLER also increased, offsetting the AgStar Assistant VP Financial Services increase in yield. This left the Baldwin, Wis. ending stocks for soybeans unchanged. Our winter months can provide more volatility to the soybean market because of these exports. South American growing conditions can also have an impact on the world supply and demand and the soybean market this time of year. As expected, there has been a little more price movement in soybeans this year when comparing it to corn, but overall prices seem to be content staying within the latest range that has developed. The January USDA report is in the books. Typically there aren’t many high-impact events that move the markets until the USDA planted acreage report at the end of March. This quiet period gives you an opportunity to start planning your grain sales without being influenced by the short-term market

has caused concern in the hog industry and has increased the interest that hog numbers are likely to decline in the future as a result of the disease. This has supported prices, especially in the early spring and summer months. The fact that from a seasonal basis, the hog market usually begins to strengthen at this time of the year has also brought some interest into the market. The only caveat at this juncture is the fact that the deferred futures contract already has built in large premiums in anticipation of a firming market. Producers are expected to stay aware of these premiums and use them to their advantage when opportunity presents itself. ❖

Hog market rather benign

OUTLOOK: The break toward wetter weather in South America sent the March contract down to lows seen in early January, defining support at about $12.70. Resistance is at the January high near $13.30. Tim’s tidbits: China reported fourth quarter Gross Domestic Product at 7.7 percent year-on-year the beginning of the week, just slightly ahead of expectations. It appears that the headline GDP number has a good chance to remain fairly stable heading into early 2014 since a downturn last year gives a favorable base for year-on-year comparisons. However, we expect the tighter credit conditions to continue into 2014 which will put a damper on economic performance. Adding to the weaker outlook was the flash manufacturing PMI number from HSBC/Markit that showed a reading below the expansion-contraction line for the first time in six months. The nervousness over the Chinese economy combined with the idea that the Fed could make another move to tighten at the January FOMC meeting next week made for a rough week for emerging economies. The S&P 500 was down 1 percent for the week. The wheat market stabilized a bit this week with an officially mixed week. Minneapolis was down 4.75 cents, Kansas City was up 4 cents and Chicago was up 1.75 cents. There is some concern about the cold weather this week although most wheat is still in dormancy. Weekly export sales were a bit improved at 421,000 mt. This material has been prepared by a sales or trading employee or agent of CHS Hedging Inc. and should be considered a solicitation. ❖

Focus on mid-, upper range WACHTLER, from pg. 18 “noise” that seems to always develop during more volatile times of the year. Farmers feel the impact of the USDA projections to their bottom line, and it is not always welcomed or agreed with. However, the USDA does provide a framework for the markets and the widely used data should be the foundation to start any plan. The range of corn price expected for the 2013-14 crop based on the last report is $4.10 to $4.70 per bushel. The range of expected soybean price for the same marketing year is $11.75 to $13.25. Objectively, it makes sense that you should focus your sales starting from the middle to the upper-end of this range. If you have a strong market bias that the market will move either direction, you

may choose to start to sell at the loweror upper-end of the range, accordingly. Each market is local to some degree. Keep in mind the growing conditions the crops in your area experienced last year. Growing conditions will affect the local supply and demand, and should be a factor when evaluating your price to start your sales. Then use this quiet time in the markets, and the information at hand, to start a plan if you haven’t already. AgStar Financial Services is a cooperative owned by client stockholders.

TEALE, from pg. 18 ments were higher than estimates and the marketed number was lower than anticipated. With prices at all-time highs in live cattle, feeder cattle and beef cutouts, this report would suggest that these prices are vulnerable to some sort of correction. Therefore producers should be aware of the current market conditions and protect inventories as necessary. In comparison to the cattle market, the hog market has been rather benign. Most of January has seen little overall price movement in the hog market. The cash trade has been rangebound for the most part until recently which shows signs of strengthening.

currency controls will funnel more dollars into the country’s foreign currency reserves through official channels instead of leaving the country. Examples of the currency controls being relaxed are a lower tax on dollar purchases from outside the country and fewer controls on foreign currency purchases for travel abroad. While the weaker peso might make exporters more competitive, it will result in higher inflation which is running about 30 percent per year unofficially. It’s that inflation that is incentivizing the Argentine farmer to store beans. In essence, holding soybeans is a way of holding dollars rather than pesos. In the long run, a further devaluation of the peso and structural reform that gets the economy on solid footing will make the Argentine farmer more competitive. However, in the meantime the weaker currency just means more inflation and more incentive to hold soybeans rather than Argentine pesos. The Brazilian real has also been weak, which with the greater overall stability in the economy makes Brazilian farmers more competitive in world markets.

week. Rumors that interest in canceling U.S. bookings in favor Brazilian origin picked up as prices declined. Official export sales data continued to show strong increases this week. Weekly export sales for the week ending Jan. 16 were 703,000 mt, putting total commitments at 104 percent of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s projected total for the year. In this week’s breakdown by country, there was a cancellation in the unknown category of 302,000 mt and an increase of 296,000 mt for China. The Chinese New Year-Golden Week celebration begins next week. Argentina backed away from its currency intervention efforts this week due to low foreign currency reserves, allowing its peso to decline against the dollar by 11 percent on Thursday. The underlying weak economy and high inflation finally reached the point where intervention — buying pesos with dollars to support the value of the peso — couldn’t continue. That brings the official exchange rate closer to the black market rate which opened the door for the government to relax some of its currency controls. It’s hoped that the relaxation of the

EMSLIE, from pg. 18 The Chicago Mercantile Exchange is considering adjusting its daily price limits periodically based on underlying prices twice per year. The new limits would be rounded to 6 percent of the recent underlying prices. For example, $4.50 corn would generate a 27-cent limit. This change would require regulatory approval. Live cattle futures set a record high on Thursday this week fueled by record high beef prices. It will be interesting to see how retail reacts to the higher beef prices as this week’s wholesale prices roll through the system. The Cattle-on-Feed report on Friday was negative for cattle prices since it showed more on-feed than expected and fewer marketed. On the flip side, that’s a positive for corn demand. OUTLOOK: On the charts, the March contract has essentially traded sideways since its recovery from contract lows after the January crop reports. The March-to-May spread has firmed roughly two cents from where it was prior to the January report which indicates support for the market from a cash perspective. Funds have trimmed their net-short position, but remain heavily short in the absence of any technical momentum to the upside. The key resistance point for the March contract is the December high of $4.40 3/4. SOYBEANS — Good rains fell in South America over what was a long weekend in the United States, sending the soybean market down sharply on the first trading day of the week.

The Cheddar average was $2.3282/lb., up from $2.1119; skim milk powder, $2.1311, up from $2.1264, and the whole milk powder average was $2.2419/lb., up from $2.2380 in the last event. The bulls found plenty to feed on this week and the gains at the GDT helped fuel prices in Chicago where the Cheddar blocks closed Friday morning at a new record high of $2.31/lb., up 8 cents on the holiday-shortened week, 66.5 cents above a year ago, and the highest level since May 2008. The barrels closed at a record $2.2750, up 7.25 cents on the week and 70.25 cents above a year ago. Two cars of block traded hands Friday, the first sale of block since Dec. 20, and then it was only one car. Three cars of barrel were sold last week, two the week before that, and none this week. The lagging National Dairy Products Sales report shows the U.S. average block price at $2.0722/lb., up 6.8 cents, and barrels at $2.0424, up 9.3 cents. Cheese production levels continued to be mixed the week of Jan. 13, according to the USDA’s Dairy Market News. Increased milk supplies were available for cheese makers. Sharply higher prices enticed some processors to raise production, while others worried about higher priced inventories. Super Bowl orders are often the last big push for retail cheese demand. Good export orders for the first quarter of 2014 are also helping to clear inventories.

Twenty four carloads found new homes on the week and the NDPSR average hit $1.6244, up 5.4 cents. ■ Many butter manufacturers are busy filling current export orders behind good sales, according to the DMN. There are concerns about the increased butter prices possibly reducing export interest as the U.S. price converges to the GDT and Oceania prices. The market tone is firm with inventories being tighter than normal for this time of year. Moderate amounts of cream continue to find its way to the churns resulting in higher production levels. Domestic demand is good in the Northeast and Central, while above expectations in the West. ■ Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed at $2.05, down 4.75 cents on the week. Extra Grade, in its last week of trading, closed at $2.09, up a penny. Twenty five loads of Grade A sold this week. The NDPSR average was $2.0362/lb., up 2 cents, and dry whey averaged 59.5 cents/lb., up 0.2 cent. Nonfat dry milk prices are unchanged to higher in a firm market, according to the DMN. Production levels are mostly steady to higher. Domestic demand trends are mixed and dry whey prices moved higher this week across the nation. ■ Meanwhile, the USDA announced the February federal order Class I base milk price this week at a record high $22.02 per hundredweight, up 54 cents from January, $3.81 above February 2013, the highest since September 2011’s $21.78, and equates to about $1.89 per gallon. The Agricultural Marketing Service-surveyed butter price used in calculating the Class I value averaged $1.5939/lb., down 4.7 cents from January. Nonfat dry milk averaged $2.0270/lb., up 8.5 cents; cheese averaged $2.0308/lb.; up 17.3 cents; and dry whey averaged 59.39 cents/lb., up 2.7 cents.

Today, we have efficient gasfired furnaces that distribute wonderful warmth evenly through our homes with the touch of a thermostat, cars that THE OUTDOORS reliably roar to life with the turn of a key.

THE LAND, JANUARY 31, 2014

After a brief temperature respite, we headed back into the deep freeze. A cold snap. That’s what we used to call it when the bottom dropped out of the thermometer. But when entire cable channels now are devoted to the weather, when snow storms now are adorned with names, well, that term apparently isn’t sexy enough anymore. The catch words this winter are polar and vortex. But a rose by any other name smells just as sweet. And by whatever name you choose, it is brutally cold out there once again. I’m Minnesotan, born and raised. So’s my wife. The reason we returned to Minnesota after a brief stint in comparatively balmy Kansas nearly 40 years ago was that we both missed Minnesota winters. How much did we miss them? We used the paltry amount of vacation we had accrued at our jobs in the Sunflower State to return to Minnesota to witness firsthand the meteorological carnage left in the wake of the Super Bowl Blizzard of 1975. For those too young to remember, it was one hell of a snowstorm. Snow began on Friday, Jan. 10, and continued unabated for the next two days, including Super Bowl Sunday. As much as 27 inches of snow fell in some parts of Minnesota and the Upper Midwest, accompanied by sustained winds of 30 to 50 mph, gusts up to 90 mph and sub-zero temperatures. In the blizzard’s wake, 58 people and tens of thousands of farm animals died. Wildlife populations suffered similar catastrophic losses. Snow drifts as high as 20 feet stranded motorists in their cars for days awaiting rescue in the wake of the storm that was characterized as an inland hurricane because of its record-low barometric pressure. We felt we had missed out on all of the excitement, so when the opportunity to return to live and work in Minnesota with its invigorating winter season presented itself, we didn’t hesitate. But now, I’m a little older, a lot wiser, and on mornings when the thermometer reads teens-below-zero through the frosty window, I wonder: What were we thinking? But when I start feeling a little sorry, I remind myself of just how easy we now have it compared to

‘Kiwanians in the Kitchen’ a hearty, helpful cookbook Cookbook Corner

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent Whether they’re bagging meals for hungry children, cleaning up highways or donating to a scholarship fund, the Kiwanians in Albert Lea, Minn., always have something going on to improve the world, one needy person at a time. They continue their fundraising efforts with their cookbook, “Kiwanians in the Kitchen,” full of unique recipes and helpful cooking tips. ■ Simple yet stick-to-your-bones delicious, Old-Fashioned Bean Soup requires minimal ingredients to deliver big, big flavor. Winter just isn’t complete for me without a steamy bowl of ham-and-bean soup and crusty bread for dunking. Old-Fashioned Bean Soup Submitted by Paula Nuessmeier 1 pound dry navy beans (soak overnight) 2 quarts water 1 pound meaty ham bone or meaty pieces 1/2 cup celery, chopped 1 medium onion, chopped 1 bay leaf Salt and pepper, to taste Put all ingredients in crock pot; cover and cook on low 10-12 hours or on high 5-6 hours. Makes 2 1/2 quarts. ■

Assorted crackers In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and blue cheese until fluffy. Add 1 cup sour cream until blended. Add eggs. Beat on low speed just until combined. Stir in pepper. Pour into a greased 9-inch springform pan. Place pan on baking sheet. Bake at 325 F for 30 minutes or until center is almost set (top may crack). Let stand on a wire rack for five minutes. Spread remaining sour cream (1 1/4 cup) to within one inch of sides. Bake five minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool one hour longer. Refrigerate overnight. Remove sides of pan. Sprinkle with walnuts around the “sour cream line” at outside edge.

Drizzle sauce over cake: 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup butter, melted 1/2 cup half-and-half 1 teaspoon vanilla ■ These make-ahead sliders need to “marinate” in the refrigerator overnight to allow the basting flavors to develop.

and enticing descriptions makes one want to order one of everything. It is fine in a vegetable garden to have lots of different varieties but to achieve harmony in a flower garden it is best to have groups of the same plant — at least three to five or more of the same kind planted together. Resist getting one of five different flowering plants and get five or more identical plants. The reward will be a unified, harmonious garden that makes a statement. Just for fun every year, I order a vegetable and a flower that we haven’t had in the garden before. Last year the vegetable was edamame (edible soybeans). They were delicious with a nutty flavor and can be used like peas or lima beans. I will definitely plant them again. Pulmonaria was my choice for a flowering plant. It is a shade lover that

pretty pink flowers that turn blue with time. The leaves, however, are what are most prized. The plant gets about 12 inches tall and 16 inches wide with dark green sword-like leaves speckled with silver spots. Pulmonaria brightens shade gardens and tolerates dry conditions. If you have access to the internet, just a few clicks can get you a free catalog sent your way, or even immediate seed shopping online. Gurney’s website is www.gurneys.com and Jung’s is at www.jungseed.com. You can also do a Google search for “seed catalogs” for hundreds of other sources. Get ready to spend many pleasant hours planning your dream garden. Sharon Quale is a master gardener from central Minnesota. She may be reached at (218) 738-6060 or squale101@yahoo.com. ❖

THE LAND, JANUARY 31, 2014

Only a mailbox stuffed with garden seed and plant catalogs can make me eager to venture out to get the mail in this record-setting cold weather. Winter is a gardener’s dream time. A cozy fire, a cup of coffee and a bunch of new garden catalogs to explore make for a perfect afternoon. Now is the time to think about and plan for this spring’s dream garden. Childhood memories surface when I reminisce about my mother’s love of gardening. She made extensive orders from the seed catalogs and always marked the pictures of what she had ordered so she would know what to anticipate getting in the mail. One year she grew — or rather tried to grow — both cotton and peanuts. The seeds were sown and although the plants didn’t mature because of our short growing season, we kids delighted in looking at the tips of the cotton plant where the bolls would be developing and hoeing up the peanut roots to get a peak at the developing legumes. Gurney’s and Jung’s were two major sources to order from back then and those two companies are still going strong today. Gurney’s used to have a children’s package of vegetable seeds that would be included in any order for only a penny more. I also recall children going door to door in the spring selling seeds to earn a little money. The plethora of catalogs available now is astounding. The slick pictures

Top off your coffee?

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondents Tim King (story) and Jan King (photo)

he first things you see when you walk into Hats Off Coffee, on the east end of Central Avenue in Long Prairie, Minn., are hats. Lots of them. There are homburgs for men and cloches for women. There are respectable fedoras and adventuresome boonie hats, derbies, summer straw hats for men and women, pork pies, safari and trail hats, women’s sun hats, Greek fisherman hats, French berets, and floppy hats with big flowers. “We even have top hats,” proprietor Daiv Freeman said, pointing to two elegant items high up on a back shelf. “What would you like to drink?” Freeman can serve you a latte, cappuccino, espresso, hot chocolate, Italian soda or any number of coffee shop drinks. You can sip your drink in peace, browse his natural history bookstore, or you can ask him about hats. “My best seller is the Indiana Jones hat. You can crush it and it springs back into shape,” he said, demonstrating the crushing and springing back qualities of this famous adventurer’s hat. “It’s my best selling hat. I ship it all over.” The standard Indiana Jones hat is made from wool felt. There is a more expensive version made from rabbit fur felt. It’s not crushable. Indiana Jones didn’t wear a pith helmet, but other adventuresome types did. Freeman sells quite a few but they go to working stiffs who spend long hot days under the sun. “The brim is nice and wide all around and the material is woven so heat can escape through the top,” he points out. “The inside is a little like a hard hat so it also provides some head protection on the job.” Freeman will point out the merits of a pith helmet versus a baseball cap with a seed company logo on it and he’ll tell you the difference between a fedora and a homberg. A fedora, whether made from felt, straw or any other material, has a deep valley down the middle, two indentations on either side in the front and a turned down brim. The homberg has the valley but it does not have the indentations or the turned down front brim. On many hombergs, such as the Godfather Homberg, the sides are turned slightly up. Both styles often sport bright little feathers in their hatbands. The Hats Off Coffee hat business is in a former bank building. “If you don’t see what you want I’ve got more in the vault,” Freeman said. You can learn more about the coffee and hat shop at www.hatsoffcoffee.com. ❖
