OPINION

Letter: ‘Sustainable ag’ misunderstood To the Editor: It seems there are more individuals, as well as groups, misusing the term “sustainable agriculture.”

Depending on what the agenda might be, the careless and totally wrong use of this word is used to make it more difficult for food producers of Todd County as well as other areas.

For the information of your readers, “sustainable agriculture” was defined by an act of Congress — the Food, Agriculture, Conservation and Trade Act of 1990, Public Law 101-624, Title XVI, subtitle A, Section 1603.

We, therefore, believe there should not be confusion among the various groups who oppose farmers producing food in the best and safest manner in the world.

The following five criteria are not that difficult to understand, as per the act of Congress.

“The term ‘sustainable agriculture’ means an inte-

Letter: Farmers demand answers about propane shortage To the Editor: Minnesota Farmers Union is calling for increased action at the state and federal levels to deal with Minnesota’s ongoing propane shortage crisis. Minnesota farmers and rural residents need real answers.

The MFU thanks our Congressional delegation and Gov. Mark Dayton for their ongoing efforts in helping ease this crisis. However, there are still questions as to why and how this happened, starting with: is the federal government moving to correct the cause of the propane shortage?

• Exports. Is part of the problem because propane that could have been used in Minnesota was sold and exported overseas? Did the federal

government not see the shortage coming? Consideration should have been given to crop and harvest conditions when considering the export of propane.

• Closed pipelines. We appreciate and thank the Obama administration for releasing $15.8 million to Minnesota to address propane shortage, but we also want the administration to step up their efforts to determine why this happened, and to keep it from happening again. That includes looking into why the Cochin pipeline from Canada, carrying 40 percent of Minnesota’s propane, was out of service during November and December, peak heating times. The MFU wants to

know whether the plans demanding to know where in the to halt propane shipments process the profit is being made, and on the Cochin pipeline in who is making it? Who gets that extra April should be permitted to go for- $3.50 and why? It begs the question of ward as a matter of national security? profiteering.

Also, we need to address the challenge • Certainty. We understand supply of transporting propane, and demand, but this and why there are rail shortage goes beyond and road bottlenecks. that. We are demanding Furthermore, should we that there be certainty How many of heat farms and homes, for farmers and rural our urban or should oil companies residents, beyond the cousins could just be allowed to make “pre-buy” system.

It’s been said that to love and be loved is the greatest happiness of existence. I know that anyone who has owned a dog is sure of the truthfulness of that statement.

We got our dog, Max, when he was six weeks old. It’s pretty hard not to love a little puppy, though my husband begged to differ with that on TABLE TALK more than one occasion.

By Karen Schwaller Within the first week or two that he lived with us, he somehow got into some rat poison. A call to the vet told us what to do, and luckily, Max was fine. He followed that by chewing on everything there was around — but when he chewed the lining out of a helmet that was a childhood souvenir of my husband’s, Max was in more trouble than Justin Bieber. Still, he was a happy dog. I once read a sign that said, “Dogs laugh with their tails.” How true.

One day he found a (mostly empty) jug of weed killer to chew on and dragged it around the house yard. No one thought much about the jug sitting near the edge of the grass until the grass began dying, and in a most unusual pattern. That dang dog.

Once again, a call to the vet. They say, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but you can’t teach a stupid dog anything.” I think my husband agreed with that many times over when Max was a puppy.

After about “so many” of his puppy tricks, my husband was beginning to run out of patience with him — and when he was out carousing among the sheep one day, my husband had had it. The only reason Max lived past that day was because the school bus came, carrying our middle-school children before he got the job done. It was a stay of execution for Max. As he grew out of his puppy ways, he became a friend to all of us. He would nuzzle up and want to be petted — though some of those actions came rather gingerly because, as a farm dog, we knew where he had been. He always came to greet us; he would sit and watch me do the laundry, peering through the basement window of our house; he sat at the front step and guarded the farm. And at the end of a bad day, Max was always there with his affection.

I worked with someone who once said that when he had a bad day at work and people were on his case, it comforted him to know that at least his wife and his dog still loved him. Dogs believe in you, even when you don’t believe in yourself — the sign of a true friend.

When Max got very old and couldn’t make it up the steps anymore, we could see that his time with us SMITHS MILL IMP. was winding down. He’d been with us for more than Janesville, MN

“We’re satisfied with the bill, but rather than it being an end point, we really see it as a starting point,” he said.

The real measure of success of what lawmakers crafted for the 2014 farm bill, he said, ultimately will be measured a few years down the road by the amount of grasslands and wetlands that still can be found in the countryside.

OUTDOORS, from pg. 8A ited, the National Wild Turkey Federation and Pheasants Forever universally hailed the 2014 farm bill’s conservation measures.

Dave Nomsen, vice president of government affairs for the conservation group Pheasants Forever, said that overall, his organization was pleased with the bill.

“First of all, it’s very good news that it’s done,” he said. “It’s been an agonizing two-plus years.”

He said that once again tying crop insurance to conservation compliance along with the new Sodsaver provision were particularly vital components to a new farm bill if it was going to address critical conservation concerns.

Nomsen said that Walz, who served on the farm bill conference committee which crafted the legislation, deserved much of the credit for getting those two components included.

In those times, we also come to understand with more clarity that the veterinarian’s job can also be very difficult emotionally as he/she sees the emotion in the faces of the family.

Max was put out of his suffering, and his final ride home was in the back of the pickup truck he used to wait to see every day, with his tail wagging. The ground was frozen, so our guys all carried him to his temporary resting place. We stood around his makeshift grave, sharing memories with laughter

‘Retro’ photography artistic fit for history buff

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent When David Rambow goes to a Civil War re-enactment, he always takes his camera with him. He takes his darkroom, too. He’s not there to get tourist photos. He’s also in uniform, and his large camera is like the one Matthew Brady and other photographers of the era used.

Rambow is a wet plate collodion photographer.

“Wet-plate photography went out of fashion in the 1880s when George Eastman invented a dry-plate method,” he said, but for a couple decades, including the time of the Civil War, it was the universal photographic method.

His photography fits well with a career of which history has always been a part. Rambow’s first job was assistant director and later director of the Pipestone County Museum. He has worked at Siouxland Museums in Sioux Falls, S.D., and at Effigy Mounds National Monument in Iowa.

He has also been a park ranger at Blue Mounds State Park, a place that is full of history, and at Pipestone National Monument. Currently he is the office manager for the Pipestone Indian Shrine

Association on the grounds of the Pipestone National Monument.

“I’ve always been interested in history,” Rambow said. “My father was a history teacher.”

During the Civil War centennial in the 1960s, his father taught about the war in his Sturgis, S.D., High School class. As an elementary student waiting for his father to go home after school, he looked through books in his father’s classroom. The photographs intrigued him.

“It was kind of a magical viewing,” he said. “Then I grew up and discovered cars and girls and went to college and forgot all that.” He received a bachelor’s degree in anthropology from the University of South Dakota in Vermillion, with a minor in history.

In 1989 the magic of those photos came back to him. While attending a re-enactment of the Battle of Bull Run at Manassas, Va., he saw “this strange old guy puddling around in chemicals with glass plates.

I struck up a conversation with him and within an hour I had caught the bug. I really wanted to try this for myself.”

The photographer was John Coffer from upstate New York, who was more than a re-enactor. He lived in that time period, without electricity and engines.

After two years of letter writing, he agreed to teach Rambow the process.

“At the time, I learned, I was one of a dozen or so in the country who did this,” Rambow said. “Now, you go on Facebook or the internet and type in ‘wet-plate photography,’ there are thousands of people in this country, and even more in Europe and Russia.”

Wet-plate collodion photography is an involved process that includes getting the subject in focus, preparing the plate with chemicals in the darkroom, inserting it in the camera and exposing it, then returning to the darkroom to develop it.

Rare expertise has led to work on Hollywood movies tings at his studio in the upstairs of an historic building in downtown Pipestone, but he doesn’t carry costumes.

You have to bring your own stuff, or you can dress contemporary.

“It’s kind of fun to see the juxtaposition of modern clothes and someone talking on a cell phone sitting in an old time chair with a backdrop,” he said.

Rambow works with four cameras.

Three are vintage models from the 19th century. The largest is a J.A. Anderson wet-plate studio camera made in Chicago in the 1860s-70s.

“I found this in an attic in fragments and carefully coaxed it back to useful life,” he said. “I had to find a lens for this camera online.”

The other two vintage cameras he actually purchased on Ebay. One is a small cherry wood camera made by the Rochester Optical Camera Co. in the 1880s. The other is from the 1890s and was made by the E.&H.T. Anthony

Camera Co. His newest camera, which he calls his “workhorse,” was made in Soviet Russia in the late-1960s. The cameras came on the western market after the Soviet bloc collapsed. It was a dryplate camera, which he converted to wet-plate with a few minor changes.

Wet-plate collodion photography is a multi-step process, a wedding of chemistry and art, that long ago was replaced by easier ways of capturing images. But it is not a lost art, not as long as folks like David Rambow enjoy the challenge of fashioning images like those he first saw while looking at books in his father’s classroom.

Rambow can be contacted at his email address — davidrambow@msn.com — or via his website at www.dcrambow-wetplate photography.yolasite.com. Write to him at 205 2nd Street SW, Pipestone, MN 56164. ❖

western epic “Dances With Wolves.” He was in four scenes, and in between got acquainted with prop department people. Word got around that he did historic photography.

“My big break came in 2010 when the Coen brothers were working on a movie called ‘True Grit,’” he said.

“Their mother saw my pictures on the website. In a roundabout way, the prop guy I knew from ‘Dances With Wolves’ called me and it just came together.”

All they needed was one little tintype of the bad guy, Josh Brolin, to use as a prop. They brought Rambow to Santa Fe, N.M., and he made the photo.

“It’s just a prop; I don’t get a credit line,” he said. “Someone picks up a photo and they want it to be an authentic tintype.” Since then he has done work for “Cowboys and Aliens” in 2011 and for two movies set for release in 2014, “Sweetwater” and “A Million Ways to Die in the West.” For those movies they sent him photographs and he converted them into tintypes.

He enjoys doing the movie work, though it doesn’t pay that much. At weekend re-enactments he often gives talks, and the rest of the weekend is taking photographs. He also does sit-

PHOTOGRAPHY, from pg. 12A “The process is a fickle mistress,” Rambow said. “You think you have everything figured out and working fine, and all of a sudden everything is black or gray or foggy.”

He has a “little black book” published back in the 1860s that he consults. The book was given to him by the greatgreat-grandson of a photographer in St. Cloud, Minn.

“Being a photographer in the 1860s and ’70s, you had to wear several hats,” Rambow said. “You had to know about chemistry, the properties of your chemicals, and what humidity and heat and cold and weather conditions will do to those things. You have to have the specific gravities of your chemicals down.”

In addition the photographer had to know how to operate the equipment, pose the subjects, keep them still for the seconds it takes to expose the plate, and be an artist. Rambow has painted the backdrops he uses.

Rambow has gotten the process down so well that he has done work for movie companies. His first exposure to movie companies came as a re-enactor playing one of the cavalry in the 1990

Alliance Party made political waves in 1890 Although the Alliance Party had been formed in July of 1890, it emerged from many years of struggle between farmers, bankers and railroads. The party’s founding organization was the Farmer’s Alliance, which had risen from the ashes of the Grange and the Greenback Party. The Grange had been a powerful political force following the Civil War. Prior to the 1890 election, the Farmer’s Alliance had focused on working in But when all collaboration with likethe votes were minded Democrats.

This former Republican U.S. Congressman and Minnesota state legislator was elected to the Minnesota Senate on the Alliance Party banner in 1890. He had struggled, but failed, to become president of the Farmer’s Alliance for years. He apparently had a tendency to be divisive and did not have the leadership skills to achieve victory. But finally, in December 1890, he was elected See ALLIANCE, pg. 15A

By TIM KING The Land Correspondent In November 1998, when Minnesotans woke up to the news that Jesse Ventura was the new governor of the North Star State, we were amazed.

We wondered, was Ventura, and his Independence Party, a breath of fresh air into the stuffy dominance of the calcified two-party system? It turns out that Jesse Ventura was pretty much just a one-man political party. Minnesota has seen other third parties come and then go.

Communications were not as rapid in 1890 as they were following Ventura’s election, but that November, nearly a century earlier, Minnesotans gradually became aware that a four-month-old third party had seriously challenged Minnesota’s entrenched two-party system. At the time the Republicans had held complete control over the State house and legislature for 28 years. Democrats had won a seat or two to the U.S. Congress, but there was not serious opposition to Republican control in the state.

But when all the votes were counted in 1890, a third of the seats in the Minnesota legislature, as well as a seat in the U.S. Congress, belonged to the new Alliance Party and its voters. The new state auditor, although a Democrat in name, was also elected as part of a joint Alliance-Democrat coalition.

Ezra Champlin did not serve in the House or Senate again. He is the only member of a third party to ever serve as speaker of the House of Representatives.

Author’s note: “The Alliance Party and the Minnesota Legislature of 1891,” by Carl H. Chrislock, was a primary source for this article. It was published in Minnesota History in September 1957. ❖

president on the Populist ticket in 1892 but remained in the Senate off and on until 1898.

Sen. John B. Hompe continued to serve in the Minnesota Senate well into the 20th century. But he dropped his Alliance Party affiliation and was always re-elected as an independent. In 1931, at the age of 85, he became the oldest legislator in the United States.

THE LAND, FEBRUARY 21, 2014

ALLIANCE, from pg. 14A president of the victorious group.

Donnelley was the most experienced and prominent legislator among the newly elected Alliance Party senators and representatives. Because of that, he set about organizing the party’s position in the 1891 Minnesota State Legislature. He had his eyes on the position of speaker of the House for the Alliance Party. He succeeded in that when Civil War veteran, and Blue Earth County farmer, Ezra T. Champlin was appointed speaker of the House of Representatives.

Champlin’s appointment to be speaker was part of an Alliance-Democrat compromise that gave the position of chief clerk to an Alliance Party member and the chairmanship of the Railroad Committee to a Democrat. The two parties agreed to split the rest of the committee chairmanships between them.

The list of legislative committees in those days was different than they are today. For example, A.O. Richardson, an Alliance Party representative from Otter Tail County, was appointed chair of Committee for the School for Defectives. John J. “J.J.” Furlong, an Irishman from Austin, was appointed to head the Binding Twine and Fiber, and Fibrous Plants Committee. The historical record does not show if this immigrant farmer was Democrat or Alliance.

In the Senate, John B. Hompe from Otter Tail County, and another Alliance Party man, was elected to be president of the Senate. Hompe was also a Civil War veteran who had fought at Gettysburg as a 16year-old and was wounded in that battle twice.

The wrangling between the three parties for control of the Senate was fierce. A Democratic-Alliance Party coalition took control of the Senate and the lieutenant governor was stripped of his customary privilege to appoint committee chairmen. As a result the Democrats received 13 committee chairmanships and the Alliance party received six. Donnelley was given the coveted chairmanship of the Railroad Committee.

It would seem that the Alliance Party was on the brink of accomplishing much of what farmers had been struggling for since the Civil War. But lack of leadership by Donnelley and other party leaders, along with substantial differences between the Democratic and Alliance parties, led to a largely failed legislative agenda.

The result of that failure was that the Alliance Party largely disappeared from the scene within a year or two of its remarkable rise to political prominence. Donnelley and many other party members joined the Populist Party. Donnelley ran for vice

tional opportunities from a variety of professional vendors,” Olson said.

Agricultural meeting grounds Since opening its doors four decades ago, the farm show has been a popular community event for central Minnesota. Serving more than a 100-mile radius, the show gives area farmers a unique opportunity to check out the season’s newest products, as well as socialize with other members of the agriculture industry.

It also allows vendors a rare chance to meet their customers in person.

Chad Carlson of Carlson Wholesale in St. Cloud, said the farm show is their main pipeline to the customer. “Most visitors just come to see what’s new,” Carlson said. Customers visit Carlson’s four-booth display to chat with the sales team, pick up new catalogs and comparison shop.

Carlson said the farm show kicks off the prime time agribusiness sea-

After 47 years the Central Minnesota Farm Show, organized by the St. Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce, is still delivering the goods.

The formula is simple: Assemble hundreds of vendors from every corner of the agriculture industry and let both the farming and non-farming communities know about it. The combination results in an average of over 4,000 visitors for the three-day event.

This year’s farm show is scheduled for Feb. 25-27, at the River’s Edge Convention Center in St. Cloud.

Admission to the event is free. The show is coordinated and arranged by the St. Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce Farm Show Committee.

Key player in cellulosic fuel focuses on feedstock

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Genera Energy, in Vonore, Tenn., operates one of the nation’s largest and most comprehensive industrial biomass management and processing facilities. It also supplies biomass feedstock for the advanced biofuels,

biopower and biochemical industries.

In essence, its business ambition is to make cellulosic energy production economically profitable.

Jackson: Switchgrass a low-cost, high-yielding crop Why switchgrass?

Why the emphasis on switchgrass?

Because it is a high-yielding perennial grass crop native to the United States, and it works with existing agricultural equipment.

“Cost to establish switchgrass is low because it’s a no-till seeded crop,” he said. “Typically we model for a life span that exceeds 10 years based on one annual harvest after the plant goes dormant in the fall.” This allows for harvesting throughout the winter.

In the southeast states Jackson said that a yield of seven to eight tons of dry matter per acre of switchgrass is sustainable. Ethanol production ranges from 75 to 80 gallons per ton, which means 550 to 640 gallons per acre; comparable with 200 bu./acre corn producing 2.8 gallons per bushel of ethanol.

The main byproduct of switchgrass is lignin, a high-carbon product much involved in wood products for the

building industry.

“I tell people that if you are building a house and framing it with wood,” Jackson said, “lignin is the comparable component providing the same structural strength of a plant in the field. Right now the biggest usage of this byproduct is as a combustible material in boilers for process heat and steam, or burned to generate biopower.”

Lignin doesn’t have any nutritive value as a livestock feed, but in most biorefineries it will be a key energy source for generating electricity.

“Perhaps a greater value for lignin will be the upgrading to a lignin fiber which can then be converted to a carbon fiber,” Jackson said. “Carbon fibers are used in everything from cell phones to golf clubs to you name it.

Right now petroleum-based sources provide the carbon fibers for these manufactured goods.” ❖

Genera Energy is a total through-put company, which involves proprietary storage, handling and pre-processing techniques to enhance the economic cost of sourcing feedstocks for a refinery.

“We can take a bale of switchgrass, for example,” Jackson said, “and grind that down to extremely small sizes in an energy-efficient manner. And that’s a huge step in generating uniform format feedstocks.”

How does Genera Energy “sell” their services? A management services agreement is one option where an enduser — such as POET — pays a set fee or percentage per ton of feedstock delivered to its refinery.

“In that scenario typically the project developer ‘owns’ the feedstock and we’re simply a management services company,” Jackson said.

Another option is a dedicated offtake contract whereby an end-user agrees to purchase a set amount of feedstock at a set price on an annual basis for 10 or 20 years. The end-user puts specifications into the contract to ensure the feedstock provided meets its needs.

In that scenario, Genera Energy produces the feedstock and essentially sells it to the end-user. Other options for procuring Genera’s services are also available.

“Recognizing that this is still a very young industry,” Jackson said, “we have to be flexible in working with these various companies, plus farmers who will be growing these feedstocks.”

THE LAND, FEBRUARY 21, 2014

CELLULOSIC, from pg. 22A ery is what we are all about,” Jackson said, adding that this total formula also has to provide a “proper return” to the farmer-landowner growing the particular feedstock.

Obviously even machinery choices are a part of the arithmetic. In essence, harvested and “packaged” tonnage per day is the starting point whether the crop is switchgrass, biomass sorghum or various crop residues such as corn stover.

Jackson said that where an individual farmer might be satisfied to put 1,000 acres through his “residue baler,” his firm would like to put 5,000 to 6,000 acres per year through that baler to maximize annual usage and, in the process, get lower fixed costs per ton of feedstock.

Jackson said he was aware of the Oct. 21 announcement by U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack of $181 million to develop commercial-scale biorefineries or retrofit existing facilities with appropriate technology to develop advanced biofuels. “This financing will expand commercial biorefineries that are producing advanced biofuels from non-food sources,” Vilsack had said.

Jackson said, “any assist from the USDA to support the development of conversion technologies or plant construction helps all of us in the industry. That concept of a rising tide floats all boats certainly applies here. The more success across the board, the more it helps the entire industry.”

‘Mayhem’ compiles the best of Minnesota’s worst

By TIM KING The Land Correspondent “Minnesota Mayhem” is a collection of some Minnesota’s worst moments, as recorded in the Star Tribune and its various predecessors, according to author Ben Welter.

The book’s lengthy, but intriguing, subtitle is: “A History of Calamitous Events, Horrific Accidents, Dastardly & Dreadful Crime & Behavior in the Land of Ten Thousand Lakes.”

There’s something to interest everybody, as the circus barker might yell.

Welter’s book is a salacious and juicy tabloid of Minnesota historical trivia disguised in the respectful trappings of a book. You should read it.

They are, as the publisher says, the best of Minnesota’s worst moments.

Just in case you’ve only got a few minutes to be awed, disgusted or shocked by the activities of your fel-

low humans, don’t worry.

Many of the 34 entries in this 160-page book are only a few pages. The entry “Tarred and Feathered: November 1919,” wherein the good citizens of Luverne actually did tar and feather a local farmer, is only two pages.

The first piece in the collection, however, demands the seven pages that Welter gives it. Honestly, the case of Lord Gordon-Gordon (AKA Lord Glencairn, the Honorable Mr. Herbert Hamilton, etc.) deserves more. Perhaps a movie or an opera. It, after all, almost led to war between Minnesota and the Canadian province of Manitoba. Following Lord Gordon-Gordon is the gripping tale of the March 2, 1881, destruction of the State Capitol by fire. While the tale of Lord Gordon-Gordon involves villains and fools, the 1881 Capitol fire involves drama, a few heroes and mystery.

These stories were all resurrected that we are making some progress. On from the newspaper archives by the the other hand, Welter shows us that author who is an editor with the Star puffery and greed in the 19th century Tribune. Although he introduces each looked a lot like it does today. Lord of them briefly, they are all the original Gordon-Gordon is today’s Bernie Madnews reports.

Community history treasured in Belview, Minn.

THE LAND, FEBRUARY 21, 2014

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent Belview, Minn., is a town that treasures its history, and none more than Odeon Hall, which for over a century has been the center of community activity and pride.

But preservation does not come without perspiration. Thanks to a great deal of effort by a small group of volunteers in this community of around 400 people, Belview has preserved six historic buildings, three of which are on the National Register of Historic Places. It was the Odeon that got it all started.

The wood-frame building, constructed in 1901, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. By then the building was showing its age. In fact, it was in such bad shape that some people “wanted to burn it down,” said Joanne Aamoth, president of the Belview Preservation Commission.

Others wanted to keep it. A “Save the Odeon” campaign in the early 1970s raised money to stabilize the building. In 1977, the Belview Preservation Commission was organized and the Odeon became its first concern.

Under the commission’s leadership, the Odeon today is a sparkling gem of which Belview is justly proud. Along with its eye-catching façade, it has a hardwood maple floor with a stage on one end and a balcony on the other. The balcony was recently restored — it had been torn down in the 1940s — though it is not used for seating.

In addition to preserving the building in good condition, the most recent improvements include new furnace and air conditioning, and a small addition providing handicap bathrooms and a second handicap exit. Pressed tin walls and ceilings, installed in 1925, were painted by local painters Tom and Patrick Johnson, who added a design to the other-

BELVIEW, from pg. 25A wise monochrome interior. They also livened up the exterior with a green and white combination.

While the Odeon may have sparked formation of the BPC, the commission had the broader purpose of restoring and preserving places of historic interest, and it wasn’t long in getting started. BPC took over responsibility for the Depot, which the Bicentennial Committee had acquired from CNW Transportation Co. and had been working on with other civic organizations.

The Depot was moved off of railroad property to the other side of the tracks. It had a brick platform.

“Volunteers picked up all the bricks and moved them over in front of the depot,” Aamoth said. The building was cleaned and painted, broken windows replaced, and it became a museum.

Next came a one-room school house, the first school in the area. The District 74 school house was donated by the John Martin family, who also helped pay the expense of moving it to town. It was placed next to the Depot Museum. After much work, including installing wood wainscoting, and with furnishings donated by individuals and other districts, an authentic one-room school house came to life.

One of the buildings Aamoth is most pleased with is the Gimmestad Land & Loan Office. This small wooden building sits on Main Street, and most of its furniture is original, as is a wall safe and paintings on the walls. The Johnsons wallpapered and the BPC framed and hung old land maps, set the building on a foundation, and removed linoleum from the wood floor. About the only thing lacking is the wooden sidewalk that was once out front.

The depot and school were relocated and renovated with the help of many hands from around Belview, Minn.

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

BELVIEW, from pg. 26A The Gimmestad family donated the building to the BPC. A.O. Gimmestad’s grandson, Dennis Gimmestad, worked for many years at the Minnesota Historical Society.

“He’s the one that got us going and helped us with the National Historical Register,” Aamoth said.

The Gimmestad building, the Depot and the Odeon Hall are all on that register. The school house does not qualify because it was moved from its original location, neither does the log cabin in the city park, but both are on the local historical register, as is the Gimmestad house, a Victorian treasure that is privately owned. (The Depot was only moved to the other side of the tracks, which did not disqualify it from the National Register.)

All of this takes money, and the BPC has raised most of it through grants and their annual fundraiser, Old SOD Day. The city has been helpful with the Odeon, Aamoth said, and has helped to write grants for recent improvements.

The “SOD” in Old SOD Day has nothing to do with sod houses. The initials stand for School-Odeon-Depot, the initial concerns of the commission. Held the second Saturday after Labor Day, it is the primary fundraiser for the commission. This past year the BPC gave $10,000 toward the Odeon, Aamoth said.

These days it is a matter of maintenance.

“We have put thousands of dollars into these buildings, which were all in disrepair,” Aamoth said. “Upkeep is about all we can do now. The Odeon is in really good shape. None of the other buildings have heating or air conditioning, and they all need exterior painting.”

Aamoth has been a part of the efforts from the beginning. She helped raise funds to save the Odeon, and became part of BPC in 1980. She has served as

Falling cheese prices slip some more; still unseasonably high

Twenty-four loads of block traded hands on the week and 16 of barrel.

The blocks have lost 25.5 cents since the turnaround and the barrels are down 25.75 cents. Generally, a penny movement in cheese equates to about a dime on the milk price.

■ The USDA’s World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report raised its 2014 milk production forecast from last month on expected higher cow numbers in the second half of the year.

The USDA’s Cattle report estimated dairy replacement heifers expected to calve during 2014 were up about 2 percent from a year ago, while the number of milk cows was fractionally below a year ago.

Look for 2014 milk production to hit 205.7 billion pounds, up 100 million pounds from last month’s projection, and compares to 201.2 billion pounds in 2013 and 200.3 billion in 2012.

Strong returns resulting from higher milk prices and moderate feed costs are expected to boost expansion later in the year. Milk per cow was unchanged. Fat-

Dry whey averaged 62 cents/lb., up 0.6 cent, the highest price since March 2013.

■ The California Department of Food and Agriculture announced its March Class I milk price at a record high $25.38 per hundredweight for the north and $25.65 for the south. Both are up $2.27 from February and are $6.05 above March 2013.

The north first quarter average now stands at $23.78, up from $19.80 at this time a year ago and compares to $18.67 in 2012 and $17.52 in 2011. The three-month south average now stands at $24.05, up from $20.07 a year ago and compares to $18.94 in 2012 and $17.79 in 2011.

MIELKE, from pg. 29A basis exports for 2014 were raised on increased sales of butter and WASDE-526-5 cheese. Skim-solids exports were lowered mostly on reduced exports of lactose.

Product price forecasts for cheese, butter and whey were higher, supported by strong demand and price strength.

Nonfat dry milk was lower for 2014 on expectations of competition from other exporters in second-half 2014.

The Class III milk price estimate was raised on higher cheese and whey prices. Look for the Class III to average $18.35 to $19.05/cwt., up from $17.80 to $18.60 projected a month ago, and compares to $17.99 in 2013 and $17.44 in 2012.

The Class IV price estimate was down as lower NDM more than offset greater butter. It is projected to average $19.80 to $20.60, down 10 cents on the high end from last month, and compares to $19.05 in 2013 and $16.01 in 2012.

■ Milk production in the United States is mostly increasing, according to the USDA, with some areas, which were hit by severe cold weather, seeing growth not quite up to forecasted expectations. Weather caused transportation issues for many Eastern locations and in the Central region as storms passed through.

Bottlers took on extra loads in parts of the country with a mostly steady overall demand. Class IV demand for milk supplies is increasing as various areas took on extra volumes this week as ice cream production season is starting to kickoff. Drought concerns in California are on the forefront of dairy producers’ minds.

■ Checking the export front, in a joint announcement, Fonterra and DairyAmerica confirmed that they will not renew their export agreement upon the completion of its current term, effective Aug. 1.

The agreement saw Fonterra acting as DairyAmerica’s Skim Milk Powder export agent. Both parties agree that the timing is right for DairyAmerica to chart a more independent course directly to customers in export markets.

■ Finally, leave your cameras at home.

The Daily Journal reports that dairy producers convinced Idaho state senators to back a bill aiming to halt spying on their operations, a measure prompted by animal activists who captured cruelty at a southern Idaho dairy on film in July 2012.

The Agricultural Affairs Committee voted to back what proponents called an “agricultural security measure” and what foes branded a heavy-handed and punitive response to groups seeking to expose horrendous abuses. The industry-backed bill now goes to the full Senate for a vote. A Democrat, Sen. Janie Ward-Engelking of Boise, opposed the measure.

The legislation would put people who surreptitiously enter and record agricultural operations in jail for up to a year and slap them with a $5,000 fine.

It would criminalize obtaining records from dairies or other agricultural operations by force or misrepresentation, as well as lying on a farm’s employment application.

Bob Naerebout, the Idaho Dairymen’s Association president, said this will add “teeth and strength” to existing prohibitions on trespassing.

MIELKE, from pg. 30A Hoyt Huffman, DairyAmerica CEO, said, “we are increasing the availability of our product to the international market and see this as the right time to chart our own course and sell direct to customers. This would not have been possible without the support of Fonterra over the course of the relationship.”

The U.S. Dairy Export Council’s Tom Suber said the announcement is “another in a series of signs that the U.S. industry is maturing in its interest and capability to grow itself through proactive development of export markets.”

■ In other global news, the National Bureau of Statistics of China, stated in a press release that China’s dairy cow milk production in 2013 totaled 35.31 million tons (77 billion pounds), down 5.7 percent. Compare that to U.S. 2013 output at about 91 million metric tons or 201.2 billion pounds. The release by the Central Party Committee and State Council began by stating “in the year of 2013, faced with the increasingly complicated and severe external and internal conditions” and addressed overall national economic performance, which it said “showed good momentum of stable and moderate growth.”

China Daily USA reports that China’s raw milk shortage in December “turned into a severe challenge for the country’s dairy farms this year, as most struggle to get forage crops sufficient to boost productivity.”

Gu Jicheng, vice president of the Beijing-based Dairy Association of China, said China’s poor forage crop production, along with rising prices of imported alfalfa and corn silage, affected the nation’s raw milk output in 2013. Most Chinese dairy farms lack access to quality feed for their cows, he said.

The USDEC’s Alan Levitt said, “the 6-percent decline in China milk production is responsible for a whole lot of additional imports. China’s need to buy on the world market (at historically high prices) is supporting the world market these days.”

He not only kept on, he had to add on to the garage of his Madison, Minn., home because he outgrew the space he was working in. Since retiring from the Madison Police Department in 1998, blacksmithing is his full-time work.

People were right. There was no future in sharpening plows and repairing farm machinery, but that was not Sandau’s interest in the first place. He quit calling himself a blacksmith because too many people asked him to shoe horses. He describes himself as a blacksmith artist.

“Everybody has their own technique,” Sandau said.

“I tell him this is how I do it — go from there.”

Nova Forge is a name suggested by a friend, but unlike a celestial nova, his business did not explode on the scene. Sandau’s reputation has grown through the years by word of mouth, by people who own his work or have seen it. He has also gained visibility by being a stop on the Meander: Upper Mintimes with inspiration from his wife).

Grain prices are effective cash close on Feb. 17. The price index chart compares an average of most recently reported local cash prices with the same average for a year ago. *Cash grain price change represents a two-week period.

Grain Outlook

The following market analysis is for the week ending Feb. 14.

CORN — Yes Virginia, government reports can still hold a few surprises for us.

The week started out with a friendly monthly crop report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The trade had been expecting a decline in ending stocks for the 2013-14 crop year as a result of higher exports. The average guess for ending stocks was 1.619 billion bushels, but many were speaking of the possibility of a smaller number. The USDA increased exports 150 million bushels to 1.6 PHYLLIS NYSTROM billion bushels, which fed directly CHS Hedging Inc. into a smaller carryout number St. Paul of 1.481 billion bushels. The stocks-to-use ratio at 11.1 percent is moderate. Prices spiked to $4.49 after the report, but were unable to puncture the $4.50 resistance, and never returned to that level the rest of the week. In fact, March corn traded a modest range of $4.37 1/4 to $4.46 from Tuesday through Friday.

World ending stocks fell more than anticipated, down from 160.23 million metric tons in January to 157.3 mmt this month and versus 159.6 mmt estimated. Argentina’s crop was cut 1 mmt to 24 mmt, and Brazil was left unchanged at 70 mmt. The bullish numbers seemed to be in most traders’ vision and the spike higher to $4.49 was short and quick. Could it be that the fresh U.S. export number may be too big of an increase, over 10 percent, this early for traders to get on board?

February has begun with some sharp price movements in cattle, while the hog market has started relatively quiet. The interesting note to this is that both cattle and hogs are moving in the opposite direction from the previous month’s activity.

It would appear that the beef cut finally reached a point that demand finally peaked, which caused the cutout to peak. The first week of February saw the beef cutout decline over $12 in relative light volume of trade. This light volume has been predominant for several weeks prior, giving the indication that beef prices were too high and consumer JOE TEALE resistance was on the increase.

Broker Despite the fact that the supply Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. of cattle has decreased, this type of action signifies that demand is the more elastic in the supply-demand equation. It would now seem that the beef cut out will seek out the level that spurs demand once again. This will force the packers to be a bit more cautious in the acquisition of live inventory.

For now the cattle market seems to have established some type of top in prices, whether it be longterm or short-term as evidenced by the recent lower cash prices paid for animals. Producers are urged to keep abreast of market conditions and protect inventories when opportunity presents itself.

Hog prices have spent the last few weeks inching slightly higher, supported by the increasing pork cutout. This has allowed packers to become a little

What is your largest crop input? The answer to this question isn’t fertilizer or seed — it’s your land costs or cash rents.

Over the last several years we’ve seen rental rates increase dramatically, and this has pushed our grain break-even points to new highs.

Strong cash grain profitability has fueled the exuberant increase in land valuations over the past few years. Farm real estate experts estimate that in southern Minnesota we have seen double-digit land valuation increases of 14 percent in 2011, 26 percent in 2012 and 27 percent in 2013. This extremely MARTY KRIENER large push in valuation is on top AgStar Senior Financial Services Executive of steady land valuation Rochester, Minn. increases since the late-1980s.

However, we are starting to see a different trend. Grain marketing opportunities have softened since the summer of 2013 and since then, profitability levels have been more limited or not available. Given we are still on this same path in the beginning of 2014, the toll of our higher breakeven projections are starting to set in.

Investors and land buyers are starting to recognize these conditions as well. Recent discussions with local realtors confirm that land listings are trending slightly downward along with a bit of softening in the most recent real estate auctions.

Why bring these conditions to the forefront in this column? It’s important for both tenants and landlords to be well aware that continued flat or lower

Fresh bullish news rallies March soybeans NYSTROM, from pg. 1B China still has 1.8 mmt of unshipped sales on the books and the MIR162 issue remains unresolved. In a related item, a major grain company this week announced they will reject Syngenta’s Duracade variety until it is approved for acceptance by China.

Brazil’s crop reporting service Conab released their refreshed crop numbers the day after the USDA. This was their first forecast of their safrinha, or second corn crop. They cut Brazil’s corn crop from 79 mmt to 75.5 mmt, with most of the change coming from their safrinha crop. This year’s second corn crop is forecast at 42.8 mmt, down from last year’s record 46.2 mmt. The Buenos Aires Cereals Exchange in Argentina lowered their corn crop estimate to 23.5 mmt versus the USDA’s 24.0 mmt estimate.

Finally, the USDA released the 10year baseline projections. These November baseline numbers are used to forecast farm program costs and compile the president’s budget. The baseline projections are a consensus-based, long-term scenario extrapolated from specific economic assumptions and government policy assumptions. The numbers we see from the USDA Outlook Conference, Feb. 20-21, are more current, using the most current supply-demands as a starting point. For the 2014-15 crop year, they pegged planted corn acreage at 93.5 million acres (95.4 million last year), production of 14.26 billion bushels and ending stocks of 2.607 billion bushels. The average farm price for

2014-15 was estimated at $3.65 per bushel.

The weekly ethanol production was up 7,000 barrels per day to 902,000 barrels per day. The ethanol grind is on target to achieve the USDA’s 5.0 billion bushel usage figure. Weekly export sales were large at 50 million bushels this week. This means we only have to sell 10 million bushels per week to hit the USDA’s latest 1.6 billion bushel export target.

Total export commitments are 85 percent of the current forecast.

OUTLOOK: The markets take a break Feb. 17 to observe President’s Day. Attention will now turn to acreage estimates for the coming year in the United States and the first glimpse will be provided from the USDA Outlook Conference.

How much will corn acres drop? Even though the carryout fell more than expected on this month’s crop report, 1.48 billion bushels is still a tremendous amount of corn to carry into the 2014-15 crop year. March corn remains mired between $4.35 and $4.50 per bushel. It closed at $4.45 1/4 per bushel, up a penny for the week and the December contract closed at $4.59 3/4 per bushel, down 1/4 cent for the week.

SOYBEANS — South American weather was shuffled to the sidelines to begin the week to make way for the monthly crop report.

As in corn, the USDA gave us something to talk about. The average guess for 2013-14 ending stocks was 143 mil-

It’s time to be proactive KRIENER, from pg. 1B corn and soybean prices will translate into below break-even scenarios for 2014 and 2015. It seems reasonable that a decline in rental rates has already started and is on the horizon along with a correction in farm land valuation.

Whether you are a landlord or tenant, these are a few things you can do now to be prepared for the future.

• Educate yourself on corn and soybean break-even points. Tenants, if your landlords are not aware, provide them with a simple per acre breakeven worksheet.

• Be proactive and start discussing options on fair rental rates now so that all are prepared for possible change in the rental market if our commodity prices stay flat or pull back further.

• Flex leases have gained a lot of traction in the marketplace. Continue

lion bushels versus 150 million on the January report. On Feb. 10, the USDA left ending stocks at 150 million by juggling a few categories. Imports on the balance sheet were increased 5 million bushels, exports were bumped up 15 million bushels and the residual line was cut 10 million bushels. U.S. exports were pegged at 1.51 billion bushels, even though we have 1.581 billion already committed with 30 weeks left in the marketing year. Is 150 million bushels of carryout the minimum the USDA is prepared to put on paper?

The world balance sheet showed a slightly higher ending stocks number than what was expected at 73.01 mmt, but 0.32 mmt higher than last month.

Argentina’s soybean crop was lowered from 54.5 mmt to 54.0 mmt and Brazil added 1 mmt to 90 mmt. While the numbers on their face were bearish, the lack of Chinese cancellations and logistical problems in the U.S. kept the price retreat to a minimum and short lived.

Reports surfaced this week that China is holding three U.S. bean cargoes that tested positive for MIR162 in the fines.

Conab updated Brazil’s bean crop to 90.33 mmt from their previous 90 mmt forecast. They did add in their comments that hot-dry weather had not yet materially impacted yields, but if current conditions continue, yields may suffer. In Argentina, it’s estimated that growers still hold 4 mmt to 5 mmt of old crop beans (some ideas range up to 8 mmt to 10 mmt) even though the spot bid is $1.55 higher than the bid for May. In addition, it’s thought that Argentine growers have only sold 6 percent of this year’s crop compared to 12 percent sold last year at this time and 25 percent sold in 2012. The BACE is forecasting their soybean crop at 53.0 mmt compared to the USDA’s 54.0 mmt estimate.

272,000 mt of old crop bean purchases, but at the same time bought 240,000 mt of new crop beans. This was in addition to 116,000 mt bought for new crop earlier in the week. The weekly soybean export sales report did not show any Chinese cancellations this week, lending a bullish tone to the market. China, in fact, raised their total February soybean import number from 3.42 mmt to 5.0 mmt. Weekly sales were 6.4 million bushels, keeping total commitments 5 percent above the latest USDA 1.510 billion bushel forecast.

Assuming that the “usual” amount of export sales get rolled into the next crop year (some always do), we essentially need to have 35 million to 40 million bushels of net sales cancellations in the second half of this marketing year. There has never been a year when there were net cancellations in the last half of the marketing year. This indicates we really need to see demand fall.

Maybe this will contribute to that need: China has quarantined 180,000 mt of U.S. soybeans as they await results from tests for contamination of MIR162. Yes, that’s what led to 600,000 mt of U.S. corn being rejected by China this year.

OUTLOOK: There was enough fresh bullish news this week to rally March soybeans to fresh highs for the move and break above the $13.40/$13.50 resistance. Meal was a great leader for beans as meal moved to new contract highs on end-user pricing. Until the market sees China cancel purchases the market will have underlying support. In the March contract first support is $13.22, then $13 per bushel. After breaking near term $13.50 resistance this week, the path toward the $13.75 area is open. March soybeans were 6 cents higher this week at $13.37 1/2 and November beans were up 8 3/4 cents at $11.30 1/2 per bushel.

Pork demand still good TEALE, from pg. 1B more aggressive in accumulating live inventories as profit margins expand.

The seasonal tendencies and the fear of reduced hog number because of the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus have also influenced traders to speculate on future prices as evidenced in the large premiums in the futures market.

It still is too early on how serious the PED virus on the total hog population in the United States. Therefore, it would appear until more is known

regarding the total death loss, these premiums are not likely to shrink. Pork demand has remained fairly good and continues to support live prices, reflecting the good value in pork products in comparison to other competitive meats.

The combination of all these factors should keep the hog prices on relatively firm ground in the weeks ahead.

Producers should continue to monitor market conditions and when necessary take advantage of the premiums offered in the deferred contracts. ❖

• All RP prices are based on CBOT futures prices, and not cash prices.

Following are details on RP price calculations for corn and soybeans.

Corn Base price for RP and RPE policies is the average settlement price for December CBOT corn futures during February. Harvest price for RP policies is the average settlement price for December CBOT corn futures in October during the year of harvest.

Limit: The harvest price maximum for RP is limited to the base price times 200 percent.

Example: $4.58/bu. base price x 2 = $9.16/bu. maximum.

There are no restrictions regarding downside price movement.

Soybeans Base price for RP and RPE policies

is the average settlement price for November soybean futures during February. Harvest price for RP policies is the average settlement price for November CBOT corn futures in October during the year of harvest.

Limit: The harvest price maximum for RP is limited to the base price times 200 percent.

Example: $11.14/bu. base price x 2 = $22.28/bu. maximum.

There are no restrictions regarding downside price movement.

• The higher of the base price or the harvest price is used to calculate revenue guarantee per acre for RP policies, and the harvest price is also used to determine the value of the harvested crop for both RP and RPE policies.

• For 2014, most Midwest corn and soybean producers will have the opportunity to utilize Trend-Adjusted APH yield endorsement, which has proven to

be quite favorable.

• 2014 YP, RP and RPE base prices will be finalized on March 1. As of Feb. 7, the base prices are estimated at ...

Corn: $4.58/bu.

Soybeans: $11.14/bu.

Wheat: $6.29/bu.

• Corn loss example with an 80-percent RP insurance policy (enterprise units): (190 bu./acre APH; 152 bu./acre guarantee; and 150 bu./acre harvest yield; $4.58/bu. CBOT base price; and $4/bu. CBOT harvest price); $12/acre premium revenue guarantee = 152 bu./acre x $4.58/bu. = $696.16/acre harvested crop value = 160 bu./acre x $4/bu. = $640/acre indemnity payment = $696.16/acre - $600/acre - $12/acre = $44.16/acre Note: See Tables A and B on the following page for comparison examples of comparable YP and RP policies.

• The value of increasing to an 85percent RP insurance policy. If the coverage level in the previous example is increased to 85 percent, the revenue guarantee is increased to $739.67.

Assuming a harvested crop value of $640/acre and a premium cost of $23/acre, the resulting indemnity payment would be $76.67/acre.

Bottom line on crop insurance decisions • Crop insurance premium reductions for 2014. Crop insurance premiums for 2014 for most coverage levels of corn and soybeans in the Midwest will be lower than comparable 2013 premium levels, due to lower insurance guarantees for 2014, as well as RMA premium adjustments that are based on updated crop insurance actuarial data for several years.

there are greatly reduced crop yields due to potential drought and weather problems in 2014, and/or lower-thanexpected crop prices? RP crop insurance policies serve as an excellent risk management tool for these situations.

• There are a wide variety of crop insurance policies and coverage levels available. Make sure you are comparing “apples to apples” when comparing crop insurance premium costs for various options or types of crop insurance policies, and recognize the limitations of the various crop insurance products.

• In most instances, utilize the TAAYP endorsement for 2014. Many producers will be able to significantly enhance their insurance protection by utilizing the TA-APH option, with only slightly higher premium costs. Using the TA-APH endorsement is a good crop insurance strategy for most eligible corn, soybeans and wheat producers.

• Know the limitations when utilizing Enterprise Units, GRIP or GRIPHP policies. Enterprise units and GRIP policies become attractive due to significantly lower premium costs compared to optional units on RP policies. However, enterprise units and GRIP policies are based on larger coverage areas, and do not necessarily cover losses from isolated storms or crop damage that affect individual farm units.

• Take a good look at the 85-percent coverage levels, especially if you are using enterprise units with RP insurance policies. Most Midwest corn and soybean producers will be utilizing a minimum of 80 percent RP coverage for 2014. In many cases, the 85-percent coverage level offers considerably more protection, with a modest increase in premium costs. Many producers will be able to guarantee over $750/acre for corn, and over $475/acre for soybeans See PROGRAMS, pg. 5B

Corn pest decline may save farmers money

Reduced European corn borer populations may mean drop in expensive, ECB-resistant corn hybrids Populations of European corn borer, a major corn crop pest, have declined significantly in the eastern United States, according to Penn State researchers.

The decline suggests that the use of genetically modified, ECB-resistant corn hybrids — an expensive, yet effective, solution that has been widely adopted by farmers — may now be unnecessary in some areas.

“ECB, which was introduced to North America from Europe in the 1900s, used to be the most important pest of corn in the United States,” said John Tooker, assistant professor of entomology. “Not that long ago, it caused crop losses that annually approached $1 billion nationwide.”

According to Tooker, to protect their crops from ECB, many farmers have grown a genetically modified type of corn that expresses insecticidal toxins that kill the worms. These toxins were isolated from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis.

“These Bt corn hybrids have been widely adopted because they are exceptional for managing ECB — 99.9 percent of larvae are expected to die when they feed on plants expressing Bt toxins,” he said. “Yet a drawback to using these hybrids has been the high cost of purchasing the seeds, which can decrease potential profits.”

To understand current ECB populations in Pennsylvania field corn, the researchers assessed larval

damage in Bt and non-Bt corn hybrids at 29 sites over three years. Specifically, they planted Bt and non-Bt corn hybrids on farm sites across four growing zones in Pennsylvania in three years.

During September of each season, they assessed corn borer damage on 400 random plants at each site. They sliced open stalks, and recorded the number of ECB tunnels and larvae per stalk. They also evaluated corn ears for ECB damage.

“Our results confirm that we are seeing widespread population declines of ECB in the East, similar to declines that have been found in the Midwestern United States,” said Eric Bohnenblust, graduate student in entomology.

“With less ECB damage around, non-Bt hybrids in our tests yielded just as well as Bt hybrids, so the decline in ECB populations provides an opportunity for growers to generate greater profits by planting high-yielding non-Bt seed, which is much cheaper than Bt seed. Secondarily, planting more non-Bt corn will reduce the potential for ECB to develop resistance to Bt toxins as corn rootworms have done in about a dozen states so far.”

The team’s results appeared in an early online edition of the journal Pest Management Science in December.

In addition to investigating the extent of ECB populations and damage in Pennsylvania, the researchers also examined the predictive ability of

the PestWatch network, which traps ECB and other moth species and provides data about their prevalence.

“While traps within the PestWatch network provide insight on ECB population size, where moths are active and periods of ECB activity, their utility as a predictive tool, particularly for field corn, has been limited,” Bohnenblust said.

“We found that ECB moths captured in the PestWatch network correlate well with in-field populations of ECB in field corn, which means that PestWatch data hold potential to inform decisions about whether Bt or non-Bt hybrids are right for growers in different parts of the state.”

According to Tooker, growers planting Bt corn hybrids are required to plant set amounts of non-Bt corn as part of a resistance management plan to help prevent evolution of ECB populations that are resistant to the Bt toxins expressed in corn hybrids.

“Based on our results, we would tell growers to scout their non-Bt acreage toward the end of the growing season,” he said.

“If they have low ECB populations, and PestWatch reflects low moth captures in their area, we would recommend that in the next season they give competitive non-Bt hybrids a try on some of their acres because they could see better profits from growing non-Bt hybrids.”

Other authors on the paper include James Breining and John Shaffer, research support assistants in plant science; Shelby Fleischer, professor of entomology; and Gregory Roth, professor of agronomy.
