‘One Room Schools’ may spark sharing of memories “One Room Schools” By Susan Apps-Bodilly c.2013, Wisconsin Historical Society Press $15.95 146 pages THE BOOKWORM SEZ
By Terri Schlichenmeyer
Apps, Apps-Bodilly gives young readers a sense of a normal school day, 80 years ago, and the children who eagerly attended those schools. Her chapters cover all seasons, lessons and recess activities, and they touch on the support that parents and communities gave their schools, which began closing in the 1940s. Since all this might be hard for children to believe, AppsBodilly includes lots of pictures as proof, which were my favorite part. I’d like to say that this book is good for grandparents as well as for children, but I think elders would be happier with a Jerry Apps original. Giving this book to your favorite 8- to 12year-old to read, however, might happily spark some memory-sharing. You both may find that “One Room Schools” is a book with class. Look for the reviewed book at a bookstore or a library near you. You may also find the book at online book retailers. The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terri has been reading since she was 3 years old and never goes anywhere without a book. She lives in Wisconsin with three dogs and 10,000 books. ❖

Many of the children who attended school had a job to do there. One older student was chosen to raise the flag each day, and it was an honor to have that job. Younger students cleaned chalkboard erasers, or fetched the mail, or emptied waste baskets. Teachers and older children made sure the outhouses were easy to get to (there were no indoor toilets) or they pumped water and carried it inside for the water cooler.
Once all the school chores had been done, it was time to start learning. With eight grades in one room, younger students often would “listen in” on the lessons that older students were learning. Older students were always willing to help younger students with their lessons, too. That helped a lot because everybody learned together. Your local school has all kinds of amenities. But do the students appreciate them? Once they’ve read “One Room Schools,” they surely will. Using the tales of her father, Jerry
THE LAND, MARCH 14, 2014
This morning on your way to school, you caught something: a ride. It was way too cold to wait outside for the bus. Your teeth would be chattering before you could ever walk to school. So you had a personal chauffeur named “Mom” today, and you were pretty glad. Now imagine wading to school in snow that’s waist-high, and having to build a fire when you got there. Imagine going outside to go to the bathroom, no matter what the weather. And then read “One Room Schools” by Susan Apps-Bodilly. When Apps-Bodilly’s father was 5years-old, he was excited for his first day of school to arrive. As soon as he heard the school bell from far-away, he knew he had a half-hour to be at his desk and ready to learn. But first, he’d have a long walk to the school house. The school house was prepared for him, thanks to a neighbor who came and cleaned it top to bottom. All the desks were lined up and waiting for the children in grades One through Eight, the wooden floors were shined and the windows were clear. It was 1939 and there was no electricity at school, so students could only use daylight and gas lamps to see their lessons.

Can’t tell what color your car is supposed to be? You’re probably driving a farm family vehicle We’ve all seen them. In fact, some of us have actually driven them. But the truth is that whether you’ve driven one or not, it’s pretty hard not to notice a vehicle that belongs to a busy farm family. Back in the day, we drove a car that was embarrassing for the kids to be seen in. It was actually a pretty elite car on the inside, but the outside design left a little to be desired. Because of that, it wasn’t overly disappointing to me when our young children — in a frenzied game of Something-or-Other — shoved a plastic molded Johnny Depp character from the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie into the narrow spokes on one of the hubcaps. Though there were a

few cars like ours around, we could always spot ours (for a lot of reasons), but in part because Mr. Depp — unable to be extricated without a head-ectomy — was stuck in the spokes and rode around there for months. Oh, the headache he must have had. But truly, farm family vehicle sightings happen all over — and they’re easy to spot. Most prominently, you can’t tell what color the vehicle is supposed to be. Our sons drive an old black Ford Ranger as their clobber-around truck as they’re working. They bought it in high school, and now that they’re two years out of college, I’m sure it has never been washed under their ownership. “It doesn’t look as cool if it’s washed,” they say. You have to visually examine the cab to tell the truck’s color — the rest of it is gravel road dust grayish brown. Grass is sometimes seen dragging from the bottom of the driver’s door. How many times does a farmer open the door as he drives along, checking the condition of grass hay that needs to be cut? Or finds himself in the pasture and closes the door on a patch of long grass? It’s obvious that “grass skirts” are totally in style in Iowa at certain times of the year. Most families travel with various necessities somewhere in the car. During the hectic fall season when she takes her meal-serving job on the road, the farm wife travels with a box of tableware, napkins and plastic bags of all sizes. Suspiciously, she appears ready to quickly serve up some good road kill if she happens upon some. Her family curiously investigates for white stripes before consumption. For certain farm vehicles, there is a crusty odor that lingers. Nose hairs
may or may not be endangered — or crusty — depending on what went on that day. Some farm vehicles are as dusty on the inside as they are on the outside. It’s gone too far TABLE TALK when you can’t see to drive By Karen Schwaller because of the dust wafting inside the car. A quick swipe around the dash and doors with a chore sweatshirt usually tames it for a short time. Farm family vehicles often have a rear hatch that you could actually field cultivate. As the gravel dust billows behind the car, it occurs to the farm wife that clean rear windows are a reality for city people and those living on paved roads. Usually she doesn’t want to see what’s back there anyway — more road dust. The farm family’s vehicle sometimes carries stinky people in it, including the farm wife, so she travels with blankets to cover seats while manure-splattered clothes briefly occupy that seat. A washing machine and disinfectant spray are usually close at hand after such outings. As for the farm family’s pickup truck, it’s a wonder there’s room to carry people in it, because it serves as a makeshift office, vet supply store, agronomy center, fertilizer plant (of all sorts), tool shed, communications center, clothing store and kitchen. If there’s room for you in there, consider yourself honored. You could be riding in the spokes, like Johnny Depp. Karen Schwaller brings “Table Talk” to The Land from her home near Milford, Iowa.

Thanks to recent news events and the need to fill a 24-hour news cycle, the media can’t resist a subject that involves the offer of “free” firearms. Just Google “free guns for trucks” or something similar.
And good business at that. Certainly, someone at MuscatellBurns deserves credit for coming up with the idea, original or not, of offering a free gun with a truck purchase.
Some news organizations are inclined to add a bit of political coloring, a measure of incredulity at the idea of free guns with a vehicle purchase, that it is something that only could happen at the fringe of a civilized society.
After all, most dealerships pay for their advertisements that appear in this and other newspapers, on the radio or television. This one — and all of the other stories about their gun promotion that spread far and wide — didn’t cost the folks up in Hawley a dime.
But far away from the metropolitan newsrooms, offering a free gun to a customer base grounded in common sense and an outdoor lifestyle is viewed pretty much as business as usual.

Get more eggs per bird with Coastal Shell brand oyster shell “Oyster shell has always been the standard way to produce a better shell and healthier chicken, but only recently has the true added value of Shell been recognized over other calcium approaches,” said Gary Lund, president of Warehouse Shell Sales, manufac-
turer-distributor of Coastal Shell supplement. Nutritionists had identified that oyster shell remains in the gizzard and is processed by the hen over time as compared to lime which is immediately eliminated. The result is that with Shell, the hen
uses less supplement and the ammonia build up in the hen house is much less according to research. It’s especially valuable in floor hens where free-ranging hens consume only what they need. Using oyster shell has shown to produce five or more saleable eggs per bird according to another study due to a stronger egg shell for less breakage. Coastal Shell brand oyster shell is sold by farm and feed stores, elevators and in bulk across the United States and Canada. For information, contact Gary Lund, Warehouse Shell Sales Co., P.O.

preserved. They want Americana to be there for their summer vacations. “They fall in love with what they think we are,” Vincent said. “They want to save the last best places. They hear wildlife is vanishing, (that) something must be done to protect it.” Because of that, more regulations are made and common sense goes out the door, he said. Three generations of the Vincent family have lived in a forest surrounded by trees, coexisting with wildlife. Several organizations, empowered by the Endangered Species Act, decided that the grizzly bear population must be restored to historic population levels. No one actually knew what those levels were, but they knew it had to be more, so they set a goal for 116 new grizzly bears to be introduced to the forest.
At town meetings, questions are asked about the human-grizzly conflict zone. For years Libby, Mont., residents have proudly lived side-by-side with the grizzly bears already present, but increase the bear number, then what happens to the human population’s well-being? The answer is, people will have to make modifications for these bears. Their comments and concerns do not matter, they are told; it was mandated by the Endangered Species Act. When asked about introducing bears back to Sacramento Valley, Calif., where they also were native, Vincent said the reply was laughter — think of the ruckus the Californians would make. “The message is clear,” he said. “To them the rural population is disposable.” Most of the time, rural areas do things environmentally right, but he said it is the 5 percent that do something wrong that gets noticed. Then it becomes a case where public policy does not reflect reality, but perception. When a fire in 1910 tragically burned three million acres, Smokey the Bear was born. Fire has been suppressed in the forest for a century but for scores of years logging took the place of some of fire’s natural cycle of forest removal. Now the changes made to limit logging are spelling the forest’s gradual demise, Vincent said. “Our forests are not healthy because of the regulations,” he said. “Imagine for a hundred years, you See LOGGING, pg. 14A

He had every intent on passing on the family’s business to his children. That wish is being threatened. “My heritage, your heritage, our very culture is at stake,” Vincent said. “Will agriculture and production continue to exist in America?” Speaking at the recent Agriculture Summit 2014 in Sioux Center, Iowa, he told his story from the heart, with humor and honesty. Vincent knows firsthand how special interests and environmental extremists took away his family’s business of logging. Logging was very much like farming — 97 percent of the companies are family owned. He learned from his father, who learned logging from his father. He had his first inkling that logging was no longer a respected industry when he went to college in Oregon. Although his family practiced conservation practices, sustainable logging that was beneficial to forests, he was looked upon as a “mass murderer of trees.” After working for a few years as an engineer, he returned to the family’s logging business. Forest management has come to a halt; some promote the area as a preserve for an international peace park. Vincent joined with others to fight to protect their family business, culture and homes. Through his experiences he has learned how misinformation is believed and used; that often policy has nothing to do with reality, but with perception. He understands the viewpoint of the misinformed — who doesn’t want clean water, clean air and abundant wildlife? — thinking that with more regulations the culture and beauty of rural America will be

Vincent: Logging industry failed to lead the discussion LOGGING, from pg. 13A cut wood, piled it by your house, but never used it in the winter. It’s too much fuel, so it is with our forests, smart logging reduces fire catastrophes. But that is not the message people hear.” The mining industry is also under attack, Vincent said, and agriculture is next. People believe what the media portrays. Generations are being taught that man is the destroyer. Another weapon used is fear, he said. Even though the logging industry put up a good fight, they lost their “social license” to operate because they failed to lead the discussion. “Timber communities finally learned that democracy works, but it is not a spectator sport,” Vincent said. “When people lead, leaders follow and the world is run by those who show up.” He knows people are busy, but all it takes is one hour a week of dedicated leadership to start changing hearts and minds. “The next generation is anxious to hear from you,” Vincent said. “One voice can have a ripple effect of bringing back real science instead of emotion.”

growing demand for electrical power with no slow-down on the horizon.” Are renewable energy projects a partial source to the growing costs of electricity? “There are all kinds of stuff going on out there. We have farmers putting in their own small-size windmills as part of this net metering program,” Dockendorf said. Net metering allows customers to send unused electricity back into the grid and receive retail price of the excess electricity their turbine generates. Obviously if the “pay back” is at the same rate the coop is charging, net metering is certainly not a profit incentive for local utilities, however it reduces electrical costs for the owner of the turbine. Small wind power seems to still be a questionable investment, partly because of some questionable small turbines sold into the rural market a few years ago. Upfront investment costs run in the $5,000 to $10,000 per kilowatt, depending on size, application and service agreements with the manufacturer. “However I have a few customers who’ve had small windmills for several years with no issues. It all depends upon the manufacturing source of the turbines,” Dockendorf said. In Minnesota, your utility is required to allow you to connect any turbine 40kW or less. Working with your utility before you start construction can save you money. Also contact your county to verify if they allow a wind turbine to be built on your property. Dockendorf said solar energy keeps coming into the landscape. “We’re looking at a project right now where our See ELECTRICITY, pg. 16A

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer No surprise that energy bills for farm and home owners this winter were the highest ever — and this despite the fact that most Minnesota rural Mike Dockendorf electric associations are still selling at 10-cents per kilowatt and less. The flurry of activity on small wind turbines and solar installations continuing in the rural countryside may help keep electrical costs in check. “Sure, people are complaining about their electricity bills this winter and perhaps rightly so. But we’re still under 10 cents which is pretty cheap compared to a lot of our surrounding states. And we’re in a state that uses a lot of electricity,” said Mike Dockendorf, director of Energy Wise Sales & Service for Stearns Electric Association at Melrose and St. Joseph, Minn. If you are doing home heating with electricity, rates are half price if you are in the off-peak system. With this system, your power provider has permission to turn off your electricity when there is peak demand within the total system. Dockendorf is matter-of-fact about Stearns Electric Association bills this winter. “Some of the biggest electrical bills I’ve ever seen are coming through this season. And that’s why we continue to emphasize our off-peak program where we can turn off power during these peak times,” Dockendorf said. “If we can curtail demand when there is high cost we can resell that electricity into the market. So rather than curtailing for a peak, now we’re turning it off to save energy and save money for our customers. Nationwide there is a

Check efficiency of your current heating system ELECTRICITY, from pg. 15A power company (Great River Energy) will help us build a community solar project that our members can buy into. Intent is to show how solar energy can supplement the electrical market enough to help keep a check on electricity costs.” Solar thermal captures sunlight to provide heat for hot water and space heating. These systems are passive designs which absorb and store the sun’s heat; or active systems which use collector panels and mechanical components to provide thermal energy to a building. Solar hot water systems cost $10,000 to $12,000 for a typical residence. If used for both water and space heating, the range is $20,000 to $25,000. How does Dockendorf advise cus-
tomers asking about the two alternatives? “If you look at costs, I think solar will provide a faster payback,” he said, noting however that both have good grant money options. Because solar costs less going in, payback should be quicker. Dependability of wind and/or sunlight impacts the payback of either system however. Both state and federal tax incentives, grants and low-cost financing options are available on either system. If you’ve been using ceiling electric heat in your home for a few years it might be wise to check on the efficiency of your system. Dockendorf said, “electrons flowing through wires eventually wear out. It more than likely would suggest replacing your ceiling system with a different system.” ❖

A fourth of the pork produced leaves the United States for 105 countries around the world.” It add values to each pig, because the cuts that are wanted for export are the liver, hearts, stomachs and pig ears.

The majority of the pork NFH exports goes to Japan and Mexico. Because of the North American Free Trade Agreement, exports have skyrocketed due to a level playing field and reduced regulations, he said. If all the pork raised had to be sold domestically, we would have a different financial outlook. Every day NFH sends several truck loads of pork to Mexico. “They need us,” Malenke said, “and we need them.” China raises about 50 percent of the world’s pork.

Tim Smith from Eagle Grove, Iowa, has been honored as the inaugural honoree in the National Corn Growers Association’s Good Steward Recognition Program. The program and award funding was provided by the Howard G. Buffett Foundation as part of their Harvesting the Potential campaign to raise awareness among U.S. farmers of the importance of conservation agriculture. “NCGA is known for taking the lead on many programs that are now commonplace in the corn industry,” said NCGA President Martin Barbre. “We expand awareness of best practices in sustainable corn production by recognizing the special efforts of those who demonstrate the economic and conservation value of soil management, and Tim has really proven a superior commitment to sustainability through innovation.” Smith grows 820 acres of corn and soybeans in Wright County, located in north central Iowa. Within the past few years, he has adopted strip tillage, nutrient management, cover crops and a bioreactor on his farm. In addition to developing an Natural Resources Conservation Service Nutrient Management Plan, Smith participated in a nutrient strip trial to get a better understanding of the impact of reduced nitrogen application on corn yield.He also monitors the water quality benefits of his bioreactor along with monitoring his tile water to get a better understanding of how his implemented best management practices are impacting water quality. Smith has conducted soil quality sampling to gather baseline data regarding soil health — to assist with identifying changes/improvements over time as a result of adoption of conservation practices such as strip tillage and cover crops. In addition to making significant improvements on his farm, Smith has also become a leader in conservation outreach. He has been interviewed on camera and

Agriculture’s ‘super cycle’ is history; moderation occurring By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Often the worst decisions are made in the best of times. That comment by David Kohl resonated to the core of 100 farm couples attending a recent ag conference. Why? Because Kohl told his audi- David Kohl ence that the “super cycle of U.S. agriculture” is over. And what a cycle — it lasted 10 years, two-and-ahalf times longer than any previous “good times” cycle in U.S. agriculture. During that decade land prices exploded, even four-times higher for prime crop ground. Commodity prices, especially corn and soybeans, also blasted to record highs, especially the last three years of that cycle. Right along with those upticks, the cost of every input in producing a bushel of corn also ramped up. He noted to his audience that John Deere and Case-IH didn’t miss a beat on the value of their products either. Kohl said, “It’s been exciting; it’s been fun riding the waves of this historic time in agricultural his-
things 1 percent better rather than doing 1 thing 1,000 times better. Here are excerpts from a private conversation with Kohl. Q: What is the impact of what’s happening in agriculture today? Kohl: Moderation is already happening. The uncertainty is how long it will last. And that will depend on four factors. • The growth of the emerging nations such as Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, South Korea, Indonesia, Mexico and Turkey. If their growth also moderates that will be a critical factor. • The potential softening of the ethanol mandates as part of the Renewable Fuels Standards. About 40 percent of our nation’s corn is processed into fuel ... and byproduct feed. • The actions of our Federal Reserve play a significant role. So far they have kept interest rates low; they have also kept low the trading value of our U.S. dollar which has fueled exports of agricultural products. See CYCLE, pg. 21A

tory. But get ready. When the tide goes out, you find out in a hurry who is naked!” However, this world traveler is still big on agriculture, especially U.S. agriculture. Kohl isn’t an alarmist. He’s not talking a financial crash for U.S. farmers. He’s talking moderation at least for the next two to three years. For those farmers with the right skills, a likely downsizing of their net worth will be their only pain. Those lacking in those skills, however, might be facing that dreaded bankruptcy dilemma. Kohl said preservation of family wealth is the next big challenge facing agriculture. He also noted average family living expenses for U.S. farm families is now $100,000. David Kohl is professor emeritus of agricultural and applied economics at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va. He visited six countries, 39 states and five Canadian provinces in 2013. He is also part owner of a family dairy operation in New York which currently milks 235 cows and processes 7,000 gallons per month into cheeses and 43 different flavors of ice cream.

porcine epidemic diarrhea virus potentially be a big hurt both to hog producers and folks who like to keep pork in their diet? Kohl: With reports of 3 million dead pigs already, this disease is definitely impacting the pork industry. A genuine concern is that pork supplies will get so low that retail pork prices may start pricing pork out of the market. And it could disrupt exports, too, since pork is the very staple of the diet in the Asian world. First reported last May, the disease hit just as the pork industry was beginning to enjoy a good window of opportunity. Feed prices were lower; consumer demand was strong and the industry was enjoying relative prosperity. Q: Activists make a big issue out of food safety. It this protocol mostly a U.S. concern, or more worldly? Kohl: The U.S. farmer deserves tremendous credit for providing clean and nutritious food.

Kohl: For the grain commodities, I would say the seventh or eighth inning. The livestock industry is still in the third or fourth inning though it could get to the ninth inning real quickly. What’s happened during this super cycle is that many resources moved out of livestock and into the grain industry, and rightfully so.

the “I Can” attitude to make it all work seems to be an American farmer phenomenon. Most countries don’t yet have the infrastructure to ramp up all of these resources, at least not yet. However the rest of the world is about ready to start catching up with us. Q: Why are governments, not only in the United States but elsewhere, so non-functional these days? Kohl: I see this discourse particularly in the developed countries of the world. If you look at world economic history, economics usually precedes political systems. Political systems simply don’t keep up with economic systems and that is why you see the demise of countries. Technology is often the instigator. Technology has fragmented societies; it has created splinter groups with money getting into fewer hands. That creates challenging issues. We see it in our country; very vividly in some of our European nations; and even now in China. China is now putting its business leaders into special studies on how to handle technology and media worldwide. Q: Other than the food portion of the new farm bill, was it really so important to have a farm bill?
Kohl: Our new farm bill is basically an urban farm bill with about 80 percent of the total budget allocated into the nutrition program. I call it an urban bill because most of our politicians are now urban and they tend to vote for what gets them reelected. Farm supports are basically eliminated. But compliance regulations will become more evident. However if the ag committees had not been able to wed the SNAP program with the farm bill, this likely would have been our last farm bill. Q: Will agriculture ever have a rightful place in the public’s eye? Kohl: Yes, it’s beginning to happen already. And it’s happening with our younger generation. This is the population segment that shows the most interest in how food is produced; where it comes from; and is curious if there is a place for “me” in this business called agriculture. So I’m cautiously optimistic. For many of this younger generation, producing food, fiber and fuel is perceived to be the “sexy thing” these days. That seems to rock with more and more people.

Huge farm toy collection goes on auction block County Implement from 1960 to 1965. As an owner and frequent dealership customer, he started buying replica farm tractors and implements. Companies like Ertl, founded in 1945, made scale replicas of farm tractors and other equipment as toys for children. The toys were stocked on the shelves of implement dealers so dads and grandpas could bring one home for the children. Poncelet started bringing them home but they were his toys, not toys for his eight children (Eugene, Kevin, Dave, Leah, Joe, Dan, Margie and Gerard). Every tractor remained in its box and was mere temptation. “We couldn’t play with them. They were like a big old jar of cookies on the shelf,” joked Kevin.

By BETH BREKKE The Land Correspondent BELLECHESTER, Minn. — It was an impossible mission but Milton Poncelet tried his best to reach his goal of collecting every farm toy ever made. At the time of his death in 2012, he had likely invested around $150,000 on about 3,000 toys. The collection was never meant to be a money maker, it was simply his passion. When the time came to sell the collection, it was no surprise that his kids found items they had never seen before. One look and they knew this would be a multiple auction project. A variety of styles and sizes numbering about 400 were offered each time. The seventh and final sale will be March 15. Beginning in the late-1960s, Poncelet started buying tractors.

Seven auctions to sell 3,000-piece farm toy collection TOYS, from pg. 23A a big investment; a fancy one might cost $20. But, as with most collectibles, the older the model, the more it would be worth today. Unfortunately, this original collection was completely destroyed when the Poncelet house burned on Dec. 28, 1976. That’s when he stopped collecting — for a while. Toy collecting got hot in the early ’80s and was pushed along by the publication Toy Farmer Magazine. So he began collecting again. He would haul a load of scrap iron to the Twin Cities and then go to implement dealers and come home with toys. He bought toys at stores. He bought toys from dealers. He bought toys at auctions. A lot of toys, especially the most unique and rare ones, came from toy shows. Kevin recalls traveling with his dad to places like Dyersville, Iowa, home

A lot of toys, especially the most unique and rare ones, came from toy shows. of the Ertl Co., National Farm Toy Museum and the National Toy Show held the first week in November each year. They would spend the weekend at the show looking through some two million toys brought in from around the country. Farm toys have been manufactured to scale, from 1/64 to 1/8. The 1/8-scale went out of style early as they were too large to keep in stores and too large for collectors to display at home. Poncelet had a good selection of this difficult-tofind size and they are proving to be among the most valuable. One, a WD45, brought $650 as his collection is dispersed through multiple auctions
that bring buyers from Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakota. Another unique variety is made of solid brass. Four new models were made each year and given to those who bought a Farmhand brand loader or mixer. Poncelet bought a lot of these in South Dakota when a dealership sold out, and several remain for the final auction. His collection also includes reference books, manuals and a few cars and trucks. His hobby occupied his time after his wife, Maryann, died in 1996. “He’d talk about them all the time,” Gerard said. He enjoyed his collection but never really found a good way of keeping track of his inventory and would at times end

Poncelet’s wealth of knowledge was a great resource for grandson, Talon Kent, when he did a school report on the John Deere Model D. “Dad always hated John Deere, but that’s what he had the most of,” Joe said. Poncelet considered building a museum for his farm toy collection but simply kept them in his home. He kept them in his bedroom, living room, basement ... “pretty much anywhere you could stick one,” Joe said. A full basement under a three-car garage held most. “It’s like packing a warehouse,” Kevin said.

Wheat improvement, preservation drove scientist Both Borlaug and Skovmand began their studies at the U of M in forestry and both men were convinced by Elvin Stakman, the founder of the U of M’s plant pathology department, to turn their minds to plant pathology and especially the breeding of diseaseresistant wheat varieties. In Skovmand’s biography, Dworkin does an excellent job of establishing the relationship between these three giants of agronomic science. She points out that it was Stakman who told Borlaug about Skovmand and, indeed, she says it was Stakman who helped convince Borlaug to work in Mexico in the first place. It was at CIMMYT (pronounced sim-mit) that Borlaug began his work that led to the Green Revolution. Skovmand was one of the remark-

is as a transporter crop, an intermediate stop-off platform where traits from wheat and rye can be deliberately mixed and remixed,” Dworkin writes. Dworkin describes Skovmand and Sanjaya Rajaram, an Indian wheat breeder, working together at CIMMYT with Russian wheat varieties called Kavkaz and Avora. Those varieties were received from a Russian breeder named Lukyanenko at the Krasnodar Research Station in Russia. Skovmand and Rajaram crossed the Russian varieties with some of their wheat varieties that See SKOVMAND, pg. 26A

ably dedicated scientists who continued and carried that work forward. CIMMYT, which was founded after World War II with Rockefeller Foundation funding, has been a magnet for the world’s top corn and wheat breeders ever since Borlaug left DuPont to work there. In the 1970s, under the influence of Borlaug, Skovmand worked with an international team of scientists to advance triticale genetics. Triticale, a cross between wheat and rye, is edible but not widely accepted by those who are used to eating corn or wheat products. “The first and primary use for triticale

By TIM KING The Land Correspondent Norman Borlaug, who would have been 100 years old on March 25, is credited with many accomplishments throughout his remarkably Bent Skovmand productive life. Among them was choosing to hire fellow University of Minnesota plant pathologist Bent Skovmand to work with him on wheat research in Mexico in the 1970s. “The day that Glenn Anderson and Norman Borlaug hired me to work at CIMMYT (the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center) was one of the happiest days of my life,” Susan Dworkin quotes Skovmand as saying in her biography “The Viking in the Wheat Field.” Skovmand, who was a Danish immigrant, is the Viking in this biography but it could as well have been Borlaug, whose ancestors were Scandinavian immigrants.

Skovmand worked with legendary Norman Borlaug SKOVMAND, from pg. 25A had rye genetics in them. The result was varieties of wheat that were resistant to disease, at least temporarily. The diseases often mutated as fast as the breeders could develop new varieties. Skovmand, Borlaug, Lukyanenko and plant breeders around the world were in a race to feed the world’s hungry. Their competitors were disease
and, as Skovmand learned later in life, politics and bureaucracy. Both Skovmand and Borlaug eventually left CIMMYT. Skovmand took up the cause of seed banks and protecting the existence of wheat varieties, and other plant species, that humans rely upon. He also fought to protect free access to the genetics of those varieties. Without the wide diversity of wheat varieties, for example, humanity may lose the genes to protect against the
next devastating disease. Equally important, he believed, was giving free access to the genetics of those varieties to all breeders whether at public or private institutions. Genetic diversity, and free access to it, were insurance policies against starvation, Skovmand believed. Dworkin describes a trip taken by Skovmand and other breeders to Tibet in 1989. Its purpose was to collect previously unknown grain varieties. “A riotous confusion of genotypes bloomed on the little farms. In one single field, you could see grain of purple, red, gold and white, in all sizes, a fabulous diversity ... no matter what conditions came along — a ravenous locust, a killer frost — some variety would
survive and give the farmer and his family a harvest,” she writes. Skovmand spent much of his life preserving and improving upon the glorious confusion of genotypes that we humans need to survive. One of his last projects was to take over the management of the Nordic Genetic Resource Center, a large seed bank run jointly by the Scandinavian countries. Dworkin’s biography of Skovmand is a biography of a fascinating scientist. It is also a fascinating history of the post-WWII struggle to improve on and protect the diversity of the plants that feed humanity. “The Viking in the Wheat Field” can be obtained at bookstores or online. ❖

The result is an effective method of equine massage body work that anyone can learn to use, to improve performance while at the same time opening new levels of communication and trust with the horse. Masterson currently works on 500 to 600 horses a year on the U.S. HunterJumper Show circuit, including top equine competitors in events such as the USEF and Maclay Medal series, and FEI Grand Prix, Nation’s Cup, Pan American and World Cup jumping events.

Equine vaccinations should be discussed with vet Great horse health care programs include a strong focus on prevention of infectious diseases. This topic should be discussed with your veterinarian at least annually to optimize vaccination for your horse and your farm. Conventional strategies for vaccinating horses have been recently reviewed and updated by the American Association of Equine Practitioners. All adult, healthy horses should be vaccinated against eastern and western equine encephalomyelitis, West Nile virus, tetanus and rabies. EEE and WEE are also known as sleeping sickness. Since EEE, WEE and WNV are spread by mosquitoes, these vaccines should be administered annually in the spring before mosquitoes emerge, usually at the time of the annual physical examination. If mosquito populations are high in the latesummer, veterinarians may recommend an additional booster for EEE, WEE and WNV. Rabies vaccination is recommended once a year and must be administered by a veterinarian. Tetanus is also administered once a year, unless a horse sustains a wound more than six months after the last tetanus vaccination, at which point it should receive
another tetanus booster. If the vaccination history of the horse is unknown at the time of injury, a dose of tetanus anti-toxin should be given as well as a tetanus toxoid. Beyond these core vaccines, many vaccines are available for other equine infectious diseases. Discuss your plans for your horse in the year ahead with your veterinarian, and realistically look at the degree of traffic on the farm where the horse lives. This information determines the risk of exposure to infectious diseases, which vaccine product would be best, and how often it should be given. This disease discussion should include influenza, rhinopneumonitis (herpes 1 and 4), strangles and equine viral arteritis. If you are planning to show or race the horse, there may be specific vaccination requirements at the show venue or racetrack that must be followed as well. For more information, check out the Equine Vaccinations fact sheet at www.extension.umn.edu/agriculture/ horse/health/equine-vaccinations-anddeworming. This article was originally published in the March University of Minnesota Horse Newsletter. It was written by Julie Wilson, veterinarian with the Minnesota Board of Veterinary Medicine. ❖

Things don’t always turn out right when you’re doing stunts, and you have to learn how to get out in one piece.” Abigail and Meishja have spent plenty of time in, around, and over the saddle to perfect their act. This rare equestrian sport has already taken them many exciting places. Abigail, 27, has performed as far away as Mount White, Australia. Meishja, 25, also has a long list of star performances throughout the United States. Their stunts include dragging by

the Coliseum Box Office. Remember, anyone attending the rodeo must also pay admission to the Expo. The seven standard competitions at a PRCA rodeo are saddle bronc riding, bareback riding, bull riding, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, team roping and barrel racing. Saddle bronc riding, bareback riding and bull riding are considered “roughstock” events. The cowboy’s score is equally dependent on not only his performance, but also the animal’s performance. The other competitions are timed events, which means the cowboy (or cowgirl, for the barrel racing) compete against the clock, as well as each other. The sequin-clad trick rider, Abigail Petersen, waves to the crowd from her galloping horse. Nobody would suspect her next move. Just as everyone’s eyes start to focus on her glittering outline, she throws herself off the side of her trusty steed at full speed to drag only by a thin strap. Her hands and hair comb the arena floor just missing her horse’s pounding hooves, and the crowd gasps in awe. This talented daredevil is the manager of the Wild Riders Trick Riding Team, set to perform their stunts at the three PRCA Expo rodeo performances. Her sister and long-time trick riding partner, Meishja Petersen, will be riding with her each night. “It takes a lot of grit, hard work and dedication; a true passion for the sport; and a bit of a wild side to be a trick rider,” Meishja said. “We put ourselves in the dangerous situations that people usually try to avoid. It takes a lot to get in and out of that safely and gracefully.

Plan on attending one or more of the three Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association rodeo performances to be held at the 2014 Minnesota Horse Expo, April 25-27. Performances are scheduled for 7 p.m. April 25-26 and 3 p.m. April 27. Advance horse expo and rodeo tickets will go on sale in March. Watch www.mnhorseexpo.org for details. Abigail and Meishja Petersen, sisters from Sperry, Iowa, have performed all across the United States and beyond, showcasing death-defying stunts atop their free-rein, galloping horses. Riding since they were just toddlers, they have been bringing a little sparkle, spunk and speed, equestrian-style, into arenas since 2004, joining the PRCA circuit in 2010. The Petersen sisters will be performing at all three Expo PRCA rodeos. The Minnesota Horse Expo is pleased to announce that all active-duty military, National Guard and reserve members, retired military, veterans and their immediate families (spouses and minor children) who pay admission to the Minnesota Horse Expo on April 27 are invited to attend the 3 p.m. rodeo for free as a thank you for their service. A military ID card or other proof of service must be presented at the Coliseum rodeo ticket windows to receive the free admission rodeo tickets. Tickets will be made available on a firstcome, first-served basis. Call (612) 7161522 with any questions. Tickets for both the Expo and the rodeo can be purchased at the event, and plenty of good tickets will be available at the gate. Rodeo tickets can be purchased inside the Expo grounds at

The success of a partnership between the Midwest Dairy Association, the Midwest Dairy Foods Research Center and the University of Minnesota has led to a new level of cooperation in support for dairy economics research at Minnesota’s flagship university. The MDFRC, with a successful Marin Bozic history of innovation in dairy food science since its establishment in 1987, added a dairy foods marketing economist in 2011. The Midwest Dairy Association provided a grant to fund the position and Marin Bozic was hired for the post. Encouraged by significant early accomplishments of this project, the three partners have now announced a long-term commitment to support a dairy economics research program at the University of Minnesota. Bozic joins the Department of Applied Economics as a tenure-track assistant professor and also serves as an associate director of the MDFRC with responsibilities in dairy economics, and the Center’s strategy and development. Midwest Dairy Association has committed to funding the dairy economics research program with a $500,000 grant over the 2014-18 period. “We are very pleased to gain an extremely talented individual that can build a university legacy in dairy economics. A key mission of the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station and the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences is supporting development of Minnesota’s agriculture economy, and dairy is among the state’s most important agricultural sectors,” said Brian Buhr, CFANS interim dean. “This private-public partnership promotes close collaboration of our faculty and local agriculture community, and can serve as a model for other stakeholders seeking to support applied research programs at the University of Minnesota.” “This is exciting for dairy producers,” said Ken Herbranson, a Clitherall, Minn., dairy producer who serves on the advisory committee that helped develop the partnership. “The university’s recognition of the importance of dairy economics frees up checkoff monies for the work that needs to be done. It fits our checkoff strategy of leveraging checkoff to attract additional investment on dairy producers’ behalf.” Since beginning work in the fall of 2011, Bozic’s research projects have included analysis of demand for fluid milk, a feasibility study of acid whey utilization, dairy risk management analysis, farm bill dairy policy evaluation and much more. “When we envisioned a world-class dairy economist position more than five years ago, this is exactly how we saw success,” said Mike Kruger, CEO of Midwest Dairy. “It’s a three-way partnership where everyone wins.” ❖

— Matt Lange have a $700 loss on the balance sheet. That in essence is your ‘net herd’ replacement cost which obviously impacts the net worth of your dairy operation. “Problem breeders, udder issues, etc., are logical reasons to cull, but with all of those heifers coming up let’s try to identify earlier any potential liabilities. I suggest to my clients that when they are moving heifers, keep them together by age group. That way you can identify the smaller critters in

The younger member does own some cows, and some machinery. We got through all the numbers and it looked good; little debt and very likely an investment worth going forward. But at the end of the day it got down to that very basic question: Does this young man really want to be a dairy farmer?” Dad had the same question. “So the obvious question being raised was ‘Would both parties be happy?’ It’s a balancing act,” Lange said. “Sometimes the older generation has to borrow against some of their equity to make their retirement life work. Sometimes the younger generation doesn’t realize they may have to pay a little more of a ‘legacy payment’ to Mom and Dad.” ❖

That becomes a good basis for early culling, or provides the opportunity for breeding back to beef sires. If these heifers aren’t destined to put milk in the bulk tank, move them out.” As a business consultant, Lange readily identifies his most difficult area is offering advice for dairy transition situations, specifically the younger generation wanting to get into the dairy business, preferably with “Dad” providing the opportunity. “For certain, every situation is

If you’re at that $400 mark we consider that a base comfort level.” With record-high cull cow prices, should even more cows go that route to rebuild equity? Lange said he loves that question because he’s often discussing cull prices versus cull values, and what your potential returns are. “Often a producer’s strategy these days is to cull heavier because of prices,” he said, “plus they now have a high proportion of heifers in their milking lineup. So I’m OK with a 30percent culling strategy because now is the time to cull out those lower producing cows. But I’m also cautious because a lot of our clients put their cows on the balance sheet at $1,500 to $1,700 per cow. But when we sell we’re probably at $1,100 value, and now we

he town of Sherburn, Minn., — population 1,001 — is rightfully proud of its past. In 1970, before schools were divided by size, their high school boys basketball team defeated a much larger South St. Paul squad to win the state championship. Astronaut Dale Gardner, who recently passed away, spent part of his boyhood years here. In 1953, Pat Hansen opened the Cup N’ Saucer, which quickly became a Martin County staple for food and fellowship. The cafe closed in early 2011, leaving a hole in the heart of the community. Former local Gene Scheppmann learned of the Cup N’ Saucer closing, and decided to help. Gene and his wife, Carmen, came back to southern Minnesota from Las Vegas and spent months renovating the cafe, reopening it in late-2012. Their plan, however, was never to run it themselves, but rather to pass it on as a gift to Sherburn’s future. Enter Seth and Elizabeth Lintelman. When the couple heard about an essay contest to win a restaurant, they knew instantly they had to apply. Seth was a native of nearby Fairmont, living with his wife, Elizabeth, in Minneapolis — Seth an executive sous chef, and Elizabeth with years of restaurant management experience. The couple made the “final four” of applicants and, after a series of interviews, were announced as the winners in May 2013. One month later they had packed up, moved to southern Minnesota, and the cafe was theirs. The Lintelmans try to keep the food local — they actively partner within the community for fresh, local produce — but their clientele come from near and far, from surrounding counties and states, to the east and west coasts and across the globe. Their “hired help” comes from a bit closer to home. “It truly is a family-run business,” Elizabeth said, “and we owe much of our success to our parents, who support us in a multitude of ways; from washing dishes and rags, to baking and busing … not to mention their time and attention given to our daughter while we’re at the cafe.” Because they use fresh and local products, many of the items on the Cup N’ Saucer’s menu are seasonal, such as Creamed Cheese Stuffed French Toast — how does fresh rhubarb, strawberry and Honeycrisp apple sound for breakfast? For lunches, their most popular item has been the Piggly Wiggly Burger, a Welcome (Minn.) Meats pork patty topped with homemade bacon, onion jam, house spiced ketchup and homemade pickles on a pretzel bun. Their topselling dessert is the Chocolate Strawberry Ice Cream Cake. In case you haven’t already hopped in your vehicle and headed to Sherburn, please note that they’re open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. (closed Sundays and Mondays). Oh, and cash only, please. “Quite often,” she said, “we have guests that come in for breakfast, and are back in for lunch the very same day.” One wonders who truly won the contest — Seth and Elizabeth Lintelman ... or the people of Sherburn? The Cup N’ Saucer is located at 23 North Main Street in Sherburn, Minn. Call (507) 764-6721, e-mail sherburncupnsaucer@gmail.com or log on to www.facebook.com/CupNSaucer for more information. ❖

Grain prices are effective cash close on March 10. 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.
Livestock markets and volatility seem to be synonymous terms these days. Both the cattle and hog markets are at or near all-time highs and both are moving rapidly in price discovery, no matter the direction. The cattle market appears to be finding some sort of high in prices as the market, both cash and futures, backtrack from recent highs. Once again demand for beef has slowed as the beef cutout approaches the $240 per hundredweight level basis choice. With the packer margins in the red, the enthusiasm to procure JOE TEALE live inventory is also diminishing, Broker causing the retreat in both cash Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. and futures prices. Cattle numbers are still tight, but the cattle market has been searching for that price where demand decline for product is reached despite the tight numbers. It is beginning to appear that price has now been reached and that an adjustment in the beef cutout price is next in the search of the price level that brings back that good demand for beef. This will force the packers to be more defensive in their bidding for live inventory to protect their margins. This should result in a downward adjustment in current price levels for the cash and futures market. Producers should remain aware of the current market conditions and protect inventories as needed. The hog market has been the leader in the meat complex over the past several weeks, as prices in
I was able to attend the recent Commodity Classic event in San Antonio, Texas. If you are not familiar with the Commodity Classic, it’s an event that’s held annually at different locations throughout the United States. The show represents corn, soybean, wheat and sorghum growers and includes a large trade show, a general session and many educational opportunities. This year, the show had record attendance. I know not everyone had the opportunity to attend, so I’d like to share with you some of the things I took away from the ANDY HUNEKE AgStar Director AgBiz & event. Trade Credit/Leasing The overall mood of the show Northfield, Minn. was positive, but guarded due to the current commodity prices. I attended one grain marketing presentation where the presenter spent the first half of the session sharing how he was bullish (increasing confidence) toward crop prices and then spent the last half talking about how bearish (decreasing confidence) he was. There are so many factors that could cause the prices to rise and fall that no one really knows for sure where the market is going. Another session I found interesting was a panel discussion regarding high-yielding crops. The panel consisted of four growers who shared what they do to attain consistently high yields. As you can imagine, the session focused on a lot of items including fertility, scouting and use of fungicides. The session really

Traders’ concern rose surrounding the future reliability of Ukraine as a corn and wheat supplier. The concern favored buying dips rather than selling rallies. Ukraine is expected to be the third-largest corn exporter, accounting for 16 percent of world corn exports and sixth largest wheat exporter this year. PHYLLIS NYSTROM If, and it’s a decent-sized if, CHS Hedging Inc. Ukraine cannot meet its export St. Paul commitments, that demand would be expected to be directed to the United States. Seasonally, Ukraine’s export pace has already begun to slow for this time of year. Producers in Ukraine have reportedly pulled back on grain sales, preferring to hold grain against a weakening currency. Based on estimates, if Ukraine’s remaining export projection is cut in half, it translates into just another 100 million bushels of corn exports for the United States. Current reports out of the region indicate export operations are running normally, making one wonder if the recent rally is overdone. By publication, we’ll have seen the March 10 U.S. Department of Agriculture monthly crop report. Unless there is a significant surprise, attention will

Weekly old-crop soybean sales hit 28.4 million bushels NYSTROM, from pg. 1B begin to focus on the upcoming March 31 prospective planting and grain stocks reports. Record-high hog prices were seen this week due to the continuing porcine epidemic diarrhea virus. It is fatal in baby pigs and can cause performance problems in older pigs. There is no vaccine available. While the disease has skyrocketed hog prices, perhaps overdone them to the upside, it is not expected to significantly cut feed usage. The next Hogs
and Pigs report will be released March 28. China’s bird flu problem has led to the USDA ag attaché in China to drop their poultry production 6 percent from last year. By the numbers this week, corn inspections were the largest of the marketing year at 41.1 million bushels. Export sales were amazing at 59.8 million bushels of old crop — Mexico was the biggest buyer — and 6.4 million bushels for new crop. Total export commitments are 1.48 billion

bushels or 92 percent of the USDA projection. We need just 33.8 million bushels of shipments and 6.5 million bushels of sales per week to achieve the current 1.6 billion bushel export forecast. OUTLOOK: May corn gained 25 1/2 cents for the week, closing at $4.89 per bushel; December corn rose 13 1/4 cents to settle at $4.84 3/4 per bushel. May corn reached its highest level since September when it hit $5.02 1/2 per bushel this week. With the March 10 USDA report soon to be released, pay close attention to the Brazilian and Argentine production changes. Weather will be a focus as we move forward. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration give us a 50-50 chance of El Nino this summer or fall. If it occurs by summer, it improves the chances for good summer growing conditions in the Midwest. With current basis levels declining and nearby future spreads widening, be prepared for a pullback if the March 10 report is not decidedly bullish. SOYBEANS — Events in Ukraine provided a modicum of support for the soybean complex, but the prospect for tighter ending stocks in the United States and declining South American production were the bigger influences. Harvest in Brazil is pegged at a record

52 percent complete versus 48 percent last year. Michael Cordonnier this week lowered his bean production estimate for Brazil from 88.5 million metric tons to 87.0 mmt. The USDA’s February number was 90 mmt. Argentina’s bean harvest should commence in late-March. The average trade guess for the 2013-14 carryout on the March 10 crop report is 141 million bushels, down 9 million bushels from February’s 150 million bushel number. Weekly soybean sales were huge this week at 28.4 million bushels for old crop — largest of the marketing year — and 9.5 million bushels for new crop. This included Chinese cancellations. China also canceled 245,000 mt during the week that will show up in next week’s sales report. Total export sales commitments are 1.623 billion bushels. This equates to 113 million bushels above the current 1.51 billion bushel USDA export projection. Export inspections for the week were 36.2 million bushels, bringing total inspections to 1.355 billion bushels. According to calculations, China only has 2.3 mmt of unshipped U.S. purchases left on the books. Even if China would cancel all of their remaining See NYSTROM, pg. 3B
Pork cutouts sent higher TEALE, from pg. 1B both futures and cash have virtually moved straight up. Big concern over the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus reducing the size of the hog herd, and the influx of managed money into the futures market, have ignited the market in recent weeks. This activity has pushed prices into levels not seen in quite some time. The concern about pork supplies because of this virus has sent the pork cutouts sharply higher as well. As we have seen in the beef, the higher the pork cutout goes the demand for pork
product begins to weaken. It would appear the pork cutout is currently in search of that point where pork has priced out the demand. With the hog market extremely overbought, it would not come as any surprise that a correction is likely to be in order over the next few weeks. As with any market, the higher the price level the more volatile the market becomes. The hog market will be no exception. Therefore, producers should remain aware of the market conditions and protect their inventories. ❖

MIELKE, from pg. 4B took a lot of cheese out of the United States last year, and in October and November, before the markets started advancing. They hedged their purchases through the first half of the year, Dryer said, and he speculates that it sold in the $1.85/lb. range “so that’s what they’re paying for the cheese despite these higher prices at the Exchange.” The lowered cheese prices a couple weeks ago cleared inventories and returned the market to a firming undertone, according to the USDA’s Dairy Market News, but demand remains good with buyers looking to purchase on signs of price weakness. Buyers who held off on purchases and were looking to increase inventories, were having a harder time sourcing spot cheese. The DMN added that export demand is good though the high prices had market participants unsure about the price direction and some were showing resistance. ■ Butter held all week at $1.88/lb. following last Friday’s 10-cent jump. Fifteen cars sold on the week. NDPSR butter averaged $1.8092, down 1.4 cents. The DMN reported that butter makers are busy producing at steady-to-higher rates with extra cream supplies available and active export contracts being filled. Retail orders are picking up, improving domestic demand but inventories are growing. Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed Friday at $2.04, unchanged on the week. NDPSR powder averaged $2.0855, up 0.4 cent, and dry whey averaged 64.25 cents/lb., up 0.8 cent. January milk production was up 1 percent compared to a year ago, and most of the extra milk found its way to the cheese vat and dryer and less into the churn, according to the USDA’s latest Dairy Products

One positive effect was that the prior run of dry weather improved somatic cell counts in the state.

World’s new No.1 cheese exporter: United States The U.S. passed France and the Netherlands in 2007, Germany in 2008, Australia in 2010, and New Zealand 2013, Levitt said. “If this were the Olympics we have won the gold medal. “It’s a big achievement and we want overseas buyers now to think of us as the market leader and look to us as a strong partner.” Levitt said maintaining our spot as the No. 1 cheese supplier in the world “requires a shift in mindset and tactics because market leaders take a different approach than those with a smaller slice of the pie. “Market leaders aren’t looking to chip away at competitors’ share to build business,” he said. “Instead, they’re looking to grow the market as a whole and to expand the pie.” For example, being the market leader in pizza cheese means focusing on

building overseas pizza consumption and also getting more cheese on pizza. Or, it could mean working with food companies to get them to incorporate cheese into more processed foods. “It’s that sort of expanding-the-pie work that’s at the core of the USDEC’s marketing approach and U.S. suppliers
are actively taking part in this work as well,” he said. Lee Mielke is a syndicated columnist who resides in Everson, Wash. His weekly column is featured in newspapers across the country and he may be reached at lkmielke@juno.com. ❖

MIELKE, from pg. 6B USDEC’s Alan Levitt said, “that’s like exporting all the cheese produced in Minnesota.” The United States saw exports up in all the major markets, Levitt said. Mexico was up 26 percent, Korea up 25 percent, The Middle East-North Africa region was up 40 percent and Japan was up 21 percent. China, which is still a relatively small customer, saw an increase of 29 percent. “It’s been a really nice run,” Levitt said. “That level of exports has more than tripled since 2009, so it’s a real significant volume.” Another way of putting it in context, he said, is that the United States is exporting nearly 50 loads of cheese per day. But what hasn’t received a lot of mention is that in 2013 the United States became for the first time, the worlds’ largest single country cheese exporter.

There are different tools already available to help farmers retain the nitrogen and phosphorus, and technology keeps adding more tools that can be implemented. “The Water Resources Coordinating Council in Iowa is evaluating how to measure the nitrogen and phosphorus leaving the state,” Helmers said. “There are practices that if implemented that can significantly reduce field-tostream loss of nitrate-N and phosphorus.” Using no-till practices, phosphorus loss is reduced by 90 percent. Phosphorus loss can also be contained by using resaturated or saturated buffers as they are sometimes referred to. Saturated buffers
Matt Helmers, Adam Kiel and Matt Schuiteman (left to right) discussed improving Iowa’s groundwater during the recent Agriculture Summit at Dordt College.
The goal of the nutrient reduction management is 45 percent. Cover crops can reduce it by 31 percent. That is only if cover crops are planted on every acre in Iowa. It alone is not enough to reach the goal, Kiel said. “It is not one thing. But by combining multiple practices that include wetlands, woodchip bioreactors, buffers, prairie strips and cover crops, we will eventually get there,” Kiel said.

By RENAE VANDER SCHAAF The Land Correspondent SIOUX CENTER, Iowa — Bill Northey, Iowa secretary of agriculture, set the stage for a recent panel discussion with his opening remarks on farmers’ concern about water quality. “We care about the things we work with,” Northey said. “We are concerned about water quality. Iowa has taken the initiative beginning pilot programs to study different solutions that might work as part of their Iowa Reduction Strategy Science Assessment.” Northey said the government does not have all the answers. Regulations can be a blunt instrument, where one solution is supposed to work on every farm. It doesn’t always work that way, though. “Let it be a voluntary, science-based effort,” Northey said. “Voluntary, does not mean optional.” Joel DeJong, Iowa State University Extension agronomist, said he is passionate about this issue of conserving soil and nutrients. “It is critical that we leave this land in good shape for our grandchildren.” He moderated a discussion between Adam Kiel, Iowa Soybean Association; Matt Helmers of ISU, and Matt Schuiteman, a farmer who utilizes strip tillage methods on his northwest Iowa farm. “We are working with farmers to improve water quality,” said Kiel, ISA water resources manager for the Environmental Programs and Services. “Working directly lets us receive feedback directly from farmers who are implementing different practices. Evaluations going beyond the practice used, expense, yields, revenue are also considered in addition to environmental impacts.”

Alfalfa’s crop rotation benefits surprise producer H20, from pg. 9B capture and treat water from tile drainage; a shallow lateral line redirects flow from a main tile line into the buffer, where it percolates into the soil or gets taken up by vegetation. Wood chip bioreactors cost $8,000 to $10,000 to install, and not a lot of maintenance is require. Helmers didn’t know the life expectancy of a bioreactors, but estimates 10 to 20 years.
The bioreactor has no immediate benefit to the farm as cover crops do. There was some discussion as to how well cover crops work in the extreme northwest corner of Iowa. Comments were made that many years the snow begins to fly as soon as the crop is removed, and is barely gone at prime corn planting time. One benefit seen with cover crops was with weed management.

Schuiteman’s family has been farming around the water wells for the town of Sioux Center for 40 years. Water quality issues have been a priority for decades. Since 2009 he has been 100 percent strip till. He was able to give some farmer insights to the benefits of minimum tillage farming.

“I could write a book on what not to do,” Schuiteman said, “because we have done it.”
- FARMERS -
He has seen the soil’s biomass greatly increase. Even with last spring’s heavy rains, there was no runoff, Schuiteman said. The soil stayed right where it should. In his strip-till situation only eight to 10 inches of soil in each is disturbed each year.

Helmers has seen good results from prairie strips. Sediment export is greatly reduced when 10 percent is planted in permanent prairie. He also thinks it would also work at 5-percent levels.

Schuiteman employs a four-year crop rotation, two years of alfalfa followed by two years of corn. “It surprised me the benefits of alfalfa,” Schuiteman said. “We had tried other crop rotations, but alfalfa is quite effective in pulling nitrates into the soil profile.” He has noticed that soil nutrient balance can affect nutrient loss. He, too, agreed that cover crops are rather iffy in this area, but is wondering if there is a legume crop that could be planted to supply nitrogen. The panel concluded that managing nutrient loss and improving water quality is “a more difficult problem to solve than it first appears.” This panel discussion took place at the 2014 Agriculture Summit hosted by the Western Iowa Farmer Alliance in Sioux Center, Iowa, on Feb. 13 at the Dordt College Campus. ❖
