Northey comments on Iowa crops, weather report Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented on the Iowa crop progress and condition report released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistical Service. The report is released weekly from April through October. “The drier weather last week was very welcome as it allowed farmers Bill Northey to start getting back in the fields to get needed work done,” Northey said. “Much of the crop remains in good to excellent condition even as some of the damage from the extremely wet weather and strong storms earlier in the growing season was becoming even more apparent.” Iowa welcomed drier conditions which allowed farmers to get back in the fields during the week ending July 13, according to NASS. Statewide there were 4.2 days suitable for fieldwork, the first time since mid-June that farmers have had over 3.0 days suitable across the whole state. Activities for the week include herbicide application, replanting drowned out crops and cutting hay. Topsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 2 percent short, 73 percent adequate and 25 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 6 percent short, 77 percent adequate and 17 percent surplus. Central Iowa was the wettest, with well over one-third of the topsoil in surplus condition.

Maximizing your potato-growing experience Potatoes are versatile plants and can be used in many ways when grown in the home garden. There’s a lot to know about how to grow and store them properly, however. Here are some tips from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach on ways to maximize the potato experience, with help from ISU Extension and Outreach horticulturists. To have additional questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at (515) 294-3108 or hortline@iastate.edu.
There are small, round, green objects resembling miniature tomatoes on my potato plants. What are they? The small, round, green objects are the fruit of the potato plant. Tomatoes and potatoes belong to the Solanaceae or Nightshade family. Plants within a family share certain morphological characteristics. The flowers on tomatoes and potatoes are similar in appearance. Potato fruit are similar in shape (though much smaller in size) to those on tomatoes. Most flowers on potato plants dry up and drop from the plant and don’t develop into fruit. The fruit that do develop are relatively small and inconspicuous and often go unnoticed by most gardeners. The cultivar ‘Yukon Gold’ fruits more heavily than most other potato cultivars. Potato fruit are of no value to gardeners. The small fruit should not be eaten, as they contain a poisonous alkaloid (solanine). The fruit are not useful for planting purposes, as potatoes don’t reproduce true from seed. When should I harvest potatoes? Potatoes can be harvested when the tubers are small and immature (“new” potatoes) or when the crop is fully mature. “New” potatoes are dug when the plants are still green and the tubers are greater than 1 inch in diameter. New potatoes should be used immediately, as they do not store well. Potatoes grown for storage should be harvested after the vines have died and the crop is mature. To check crop maturity, dig up one or two hills after the plants have died. If the skins on the tubers are thin and rub off easily, the crop is not fully mature. Allow the crop to mature for several more days before harvesting the potatoes. When harvesting potatoes, avoid bruising, skinning or cutting the tubers. Damaged potatoes should be used as soon as possible. This article was submitted by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. ❖
2 teaspoons white vinegar 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 cup chopped raisins 4 tablespoons melted butter 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg Preheat oven to 375 F. Place the chopped green tomatoes in a pot of water, cover, and bring to a boil. Drain, add the other filling ingredients, and mix. Fill the pie crust with the tomato mix. Cover with the pie dough top and make two or three slashes in the middle with a knife. Crimp the edge with your fingers, all the way around. Bake for about 40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. ■ Sometimes simplicity is an aim in itself. This sandwich is all about the art of cooking with basic, “rustic” ingredients and simple yet amazing techniques. The key to this dish is quality ingredients: Start with a good tomato, from a local source. The better the bread, the better the sandwich.

everything from bread, bruschetta, salad dressing, soups, vegetables, meats, rice, pasta and so much more. Think of it as garlic heaven in a jar, ready whenever you need it to add instant pizzazz to whatever you’re cooking. I mashed up a batch of this a few weeks ago and have been using it ever since on practically everything, it’s that addicting (and easy to use). Just a little goes a long way. Four out of four “yums” from the Johnson crew! Garlic Elixir 1 cup garlic cloves, peeled 1/4 cup fresh parsley 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon lemon juice Olive oil (1/2 to 1 cup) Optional: chopped black olives, red pepper flakes, anchovies or capers, to taste Process garlic and parsley in a blender until chopped fine, or to your liking. (If you want to add any of the optional ingredients, place them into the blender before you begin blending the garlic and parsley.) Place in a mixing bowl. Add salt, vinegar, pepper and lemon juice to the bowl, then stir in olive oil until it permeates the mixture, about 1/2 to 1 cup. Place in a glass jar and cover with 1/4 to 1/2 inch of olive oil to seal. Store in glass jar in refrigerator. Will keep up to a month. ■ The second tomato pie is an unusual — but tasty -- old-fashioned dessert, invented to use up green tomatoes at the end of the growing season. Oldschool cooks didn’t like to waste anything, and after much trial and effort, a green tomato pie was considered the best method. Nowadays cooks might use green tomatoes up in salsas as well. Green Tomato Pie 1 double pie crust 2 cups chopped green tomatoes 1/2 cup brown sugar
Simple Perfect Tomato Sandwich 2 pieces white bread or good Italian bread 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 stalk of basil Sea salt to taste Fresh ground pepper to taste 1 ounce buffalo mozzarella cheese 1 good, tasty, large tomato Toast the bread. If it’s white bread, use a toaster; if it’s Italian bread, put it under the broiler until golden brown. On a cutting board, combine the minced garlic and the olive oil. Add the basil and a pinch or two of sea salt and some pepper. Chop and blend with a sharp knife. Make a paste out of the ingredients and spread it on the bread. Slice the cheese and lay that over the paste, then top it off with slice tomato. Serves 1.

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent An alternative title to “Tomatoes Garlic Basil” by Doug Oster (St. Lynn’s Press) might well have been “Everything You Need to Know About Tomatoes Including Their History, Growing Instructions, and Cooking Techniques.” That’s how complete this “cookbook-gardening guide” is. For those who love their tomatoes — and/or garlic, and/or basil — this book is a gem. Recipes are sprinkled throughout chapters filled with real, honest-to-goodness information on plant varieties, climate considerations, seed selection, growing, compost, pest control, diseases, cooking and preservation techniques. Written by a gardening expert who loves to eat what he grows, this book will inspire readers to incorporate garden produce into everyday eating, which is a very good thing. Although tomatoes are the main focus, other chapters address garlic- and basil-growing as well. ■ The book contains recipes for two different tomato pies: one savory, one sweet. The first pie isn’t a dessert; it’s an entree similar to pizza, quite common in England. It’s necessary to salt and drain the tomatoes first to get rid of excess moisture that would make the pie crust soggy. The two-cheese topping adds a creamy decadence. Old-Fashioned Tomato Pie 4 tomatoes, peeled and sliced 1 cup chopped basil leaves 1 cup chopped green onions 1 pre-made pie shell, or make one from scratch 1 cup fresh, grated mozzarella cheese 1 cup grated cheddar cheese 1 cup mayonnaise Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste Preheat oven to 350 F. Place the tomatoes in a colander in the sink in one layer. Sprinkle with salt and allow to drain for 10-15 minutes. Layer the tomato slices, basil and onion in the pie shell. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the cheeses with the mayonnaise. Spread mixture on top of the tomatoes and bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm. Serves 4-6, but I’d bet on 4. ■ Garlic Elixir is an all-purpose garlicky condiment that’s awesome on

Hydration in elders — more than just a glass of water As we enter the warmer part of the year, it is more important than ever to drink enough fluids. This is particularly true for children and for persons 65 and older which could be both the
caregivers and their loved ones. Not drinking enough fluids can cause unwanted symptoms, complications from existing disease conditions and may account for many hospitalizations

of our elders. Water and juices are the best; coffee, tea and colas with caffeine as well as alcoholic drinks cause the body to lose fluids and are recommended only in small amounts. Elders are at risk for dehydration for many reasons: • Age related. There is less water in the older body, greater difficulty for the older kidney to maintain fluid balance and less thirst sensations in older folks in general. • Disease related. Disease related reasons for dehydration range from the complex to the simple. Infections such as pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and urinary tract infections increase the need for fluids due to fevers and the overproduction of mucus. Some diseases, such as congestive heart failure, renal disease, stroke or other neurological disorders and diabetes, cause changes in the function of various hormones that regulate the fluid balance in the body. Also, there are acute reasons for dehydration such as prolonged vomiting or diarrhea, overaggressive diuretic therapy and poor compliance to medication regimens. • Environmental reasons. A decrease in mobility for those with arthritis, diminished vision or confined to bed rest who cannot as easily meet their own needs. Those with diminished appetite or reluctance to bother others for something as simple as assistance in getting a sip of water are definitely at risk. • Medication reasons. May cause increased fluid losses through the kidneys. Diuretics, sedatives and laxatives are common, necessary drugs that require close attention to fluid intake. Other drugs and alcohol can cause the kidneys to work harder, and may damage them, making it harder to maintain fluid balance. • Psychosocial reasons. This is the elder who is cognitively impaired, and possibly unable to drink without full assistance, or those who may intentionally restrict fluid intake in the hopes of
decreasing the risk of incontinence. • Economic reasons. This may include the lack of financial resources to maintain nutritional and fluid intake, extreme or prolonged weather fluctuations and the possibility of elder abuse. How could you tell if your loved one might be becoming dehydrated? Ask yourself if they have any of the above mentioned risk factors. If they complain of nausea, are lethargic, have headaches, vomiting or dizziness, these could all be signs of dehydration. Call your doctor if your loved one had any or all of these symptoms.Keep track of how much your loved one actually drinks in a day. A simple way to do this would be to put two quarts of water in the refrigerator first thing in the morning. Give all fluids for your loved one from his or her special pitcher. By the end of the day, they should have drunk most of the 2-quart pitcher. It could be plain water, water with lemon or other fruit juices made with water. Decaffeinated teas and coffees are OK (if your loved one will not drink plain water or juices) because they are less likely to promote urination. There are some diseases for which it is not appropriate to offer so many fluids: congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver and kidney disease. However, for most of us, young and older, the rule of thumb is to drink, drink, drink to keep the body hydrated.

Aug. 3-9 National Farmers Market Week U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has declared August 3 through 9, 2014, “National Farmers Market Week.” Throughout the week, USDA will celebrate our nation's thousands of farmers markets, farmers who make them possible and the communities that host them. Thousands of farmers markets across the country offer consumers fresh, affordable, convenient, and healthful products sold directly from the farm. They also offer additional market opportunities for local
producers, especially smaller or newer operations. Farmers markets increasingly offer electronic benefits transfer technology that can be used by recipients of USDA’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — as well as low-income women, infants and children and seniors participating in the WIC and Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Programs — to get fresh, seasonal ingredients.

Filling your life with less stuff, more contentment we wish we had more for market. Then there is the contentment/discontentment with the political environment, school systems, gas prices, waistlines and bottom lines. The struggle for contentment is titanic and real. In fact, it’s impossible outside of a relationship with Jesus. A popular and often quoted Bible verse that inspires, motivates and is frequently used out of context is Philippians 4:13. It reads, “I can do everything through him who gives me strength.” The “everything” Scripture refers to is contentment! Expanding on this verse, Michael Kelly writes, “Evidently, contentment is so difficult a characteristic to develop and maintain that it can only be exercised in and through the strength of Christ.” This is the good word to speak to my own soul, and one I’ll share with Jackson if/when he transitions from squealing to sulking over his parade candy intake.

I was scooping it up and bagging it, instead of calculating need and choosing contentment. What do we really need? In her book, “The Joy of Less — a minimalist living guide,” Francine Jay encourages her readers to walk around their homes (might I add your man cave, shop and garage) and have a conversation with your stuff. She said we are to ask questions like, “How often do I use you?” “Would I replace you if you were lost or broken, or would I be relieved to be rid of you?” She then says, “Be honest with your answers – you won’t hurt your stuff’s feelings.” How true! Yet stuff is not the end all of contentment. Just ask a farmer when it rains. How often has it been too much, too little, too late? You can have good yields and low prices, good prices and low yields, then on the outstanding years when it lines up to the best of the best,

Hollyhocks — A plant that invokes memories of days gone by Indian Spring is an old fashioned variety of Alcea rosea, a tall biennial member of the mallow family Malvaceae commonly known as a hollyhock. Years ago they were sometimes called “Outhouse Hollyhocks” because they were tall enough to screen those small buildings and refined ladies didn’t ask

Summer is a great time to work in the garden or yard to make it look as beautiful as possible. However, problems can crop up and limit a yard’s overall potential. Here are some tips from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach on ways to avoid those issues or correct them when they occur, with help from ISU Extension horticulturists. To have additional questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at (515) 294-3108 or hortline@iastate.edu. How can I control powdery mildew on my garden phlox? Powdery mildew is a common disease of garden phlox (Phlox paniculata). The fungal disease produces a grayish white coating on the leaves. Infected leaves eventually turn yellow and then brown. Initial symptoms appear on the lower leaves with the disease progressing upward. Powdery mildew is most commonly found on plants growing in shady areas and in crowded plantings with poor air circulation. Optimal conditions for powdery mildew are cool nights followed by warm days. Cultural practices can reduce the severity of powdery mildew on garden phlox. The amount of disease inoculum can be reduced by cutting off and removing diseased plant debris in fall. Plants growing in shady locations should be moved to a sunny site. In overcrowded plantings, improve air circulation by digging and dividing perennials. While cultural practices are helpful, fungicides may be necessary to control powdery mildew on garden phlox. To be effective, fungicides should be applied at the first sign of the disease and repeated on a regular basis. How can I control black spot on my roses? Black spot is a common fungal disease of roses. Black spot is caused by the fungus Diplocarpon rosae. Symptoms of black spot are circular black spots on the leaves. Infected leaves turn yellow and drop prematurely. Initially, symptoms develop on the lower leaves and gradually move upward. By late summer, severely infected plants may be nearly defoliated. The black spot fungus overwinters on fallen leaves and infected canes. Spores are splashed onto newly emerging foliage in spring. Black spot development is favored by warm, wet weather. Careful rose selection, cultural practices, and fungicide treatments can be used to control black spot on roses. Rose cultivars differ widely in their susceptibility to black spot. When purchasing roses, select rose cultivars that are resistant to black spot. When selecting a planting site, choose an area that receives six or more hours of direct sun each day and provides good air movement. Sunny locations and good air movement promote drying of rose foliage and discourage black spot infections. Reduce the amount of overwintering fungi by carefully cleaning up the leaf debris in fall. When watering roses, apply water directly to the ground around the plants. Do not wet the foliage. Fungicide applications must begin at the first sign of disease symptoms.

Pheasants Forever to educate about pollinators Minnesota’s Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund recently awarded Pheasants Forever with a $100,000 grant for the creation of the Minnesota Pollinator Partnership. Through this new initiative, Pheasants Forever will host 40 community events throughout the state to educate youth and their families about the value of pollinators to humans and pheasants through interactive habitat projects. Approximately one-third of all food consumed by humans is delivered by pollinators; including fruits, vegetables, nuts and coffee. Habitat necessary for rapidly declining populations of honey bees and monarch butterflies is also the very same diverse grassland and prairie flower habitat necessary for pheasants. Likewise, the insects produced in this habitat are the primary food source for pheasant chicks
during their first months of life. “Habitat is the nexus between birds and bees,” said Drew Larsen, Pheasants Forever’s national habitat education specialist and the grant writer. “The massive decline in honey bee populations and monarch butterflies have the same root cause as our tumble in pheasant numbers; a loss of quality habitat featuring a diverse mix of flowering plants and grasses.” Through Pheasants Forever’s Minnesota Pollinator Partnership, the group plans to work on 40 community projects throughout the state. In order to accomplish these objectives, grants up to $2,500 per project will be made available to local Pheasants Forever chapters and/or partners who meet the following criteria. • Chapters/partners must engage a youth and/or community group in the

establishment, maintenance, and monitoring of a pollinator habitat project (i.e. classrooms, 4-H, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, FFA, etc.). • Pollinator projects must meet minimum pollinator habitat specifications set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. • Pollinator projects must be a minimum of 1/2 acre in size: • If planted in a strip, strip must be a minimum of 20 ft. wide • Pollinator seed mix must include a minimum of nine native wildflower species (we expect to greatly exceed the minimum) • At least three species shall have their primary onset of blooming during each period of April-June 15, June 15July and August-October • Chapters/partners must provide a dollar-to-dollar match in order to receive grant funding for their projects. Match would include cash match from chapters and partners as well as
in-kind match from donations and volunteer time spent establishing, maintaining and monitoring projects. Chapters or partners interested in learning more about participating in Pheasants Forever’s new Minnesota Pollinator Partnership should contact Drew Larsen at (308) 293-1194 or via e-mail. Pheasants Forever, including its quail conservation division, Quail Forever, is the nation’s largest nonprofit organization dedicated to upland habitat conservation. Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever have more than 140,000 members and 745 local chapters across the United States and Canada. Chapters are empowered to determine how 100 percent of their locally raised conservation funds are spent, the only national conservation organization that operates through this truly grassroots structure. Since its creation in 1982, Pheasants Forever has spent $508 million on 475,000 habitat projects benefiting 10 million acres nationwide. ❖

Grain Outlook Livestock Angles Weak close ends Livestock markets sideways week remain erratic
Grain Angles Get back to the basics
The following market analysis is for the week ending July 18. CORN — Corn traded mostly sideways for the week, but faded to new contract lows as we headed into a weekend of non-threatening weather. The Friday close will be viewed as technically weak as it set a new contract low and was the low settlement for the week. A late-week spike higher was in response to a Malaysian airline being shot down over the Ukraine/Russian border. The wheat market surged higher on the news flash and dragged corn with it; however, once the panic buyers/opportunists were satis- PHYLLIS NYSTROM fied, prices resumed their lower CHS Hedging Inc. St. Paul trend. For the week, September corn was down 7 cents at $3.71 1⁄4 per bushel and December corn closed at $3.78 1⁄2 per bushel, 6 1⁄4 cents lower for the week. The new contract low in the December contract is $3.77 1⁄2 per bushel. The corn crop improved in the week ended July 10 with the good/excellent category gaining 1 percent to 76 percent good/excellent. This is the highest rating in 20 years for mid-July and the sixth-highest since 1986. Yield projections from analysts range from 167-171 bushels per acre compared to the July U.S. Department of Agriculture forecast of 165.3 bu./acre. The crop is viewed as getting bigger, not smaller and price action has reflected that attitude. The bearish tone has kept funds on the sell side and
The livestock markets have not yet quieted down, and remain as erratic and rapid-changing as they have all spring. It does not appear that the next several weeks will offer anything to distract from this pattern. The cattle market has seen a number of bumps in the climb to all-time high prices. These bumps usually have lasted only a week or two before the market advanced again to new highs. For the first time in years the futures market posted a weekly reversal which brought about considerable speculative liquidation. This, in turn, saw the cash trade follow with $2.00 to $3.00 weaker cash trade that week. JOE TEALE Because this has been a rally due Broker the supply shortage of cattle, Great Plains Commodity that problem has not changed. Afton, Minn. Has the demand finally taken some command of the cattle market? If it has then look for further correction to take place. If the major concern of the market continues to be the supply, then the catalyst of the market will remain the same and prices will likely rebound. The cattle market has reached another crossroads, so one would anticipate that the volatility in the marketplace will remain fairly high. Producers should be aware of the potential changes in the marketplace and be willing to protect their inventories as needed. The hog market has once again turned the corner and cash and futures prices are in the midst of a rally. The porcine epidemic diarrhea virus appears to be one of the major factors for the draw down on the current number of marketable hogs. This combined
No one has to tell you that the markets have been bearish, and hopefully you have made some sales before the downward trend. If you haven’t made any sales, what can you do about it? It’s time to get back to the basics of marketing your crop. There are many tools out there to utilize and you just need to determine which tool you feel most comfortable with and from there, formulate a plan. There are many people who can help you in your marketing efforts. Usually the place you have been selling your crop can assist you, but you also have the option of working with an independent broker. ANDY HUNEKE The most basic form of a sale is AgStar Director Agbiz & the cash sale. As you look at the Trade Credit Leasing Northfield, Minn. cash sale, don’t be afraid to look out into the future. If you have storage, you can look at doing a cash sale in the spring that will probably offer a better basis than the basis at harvest. Also, in a more typical market, there should be a 25- to 35-cent advantage on the Chicago Board of Trade. You don’t have to wait until next spring when you want to deliver to determine the price. Just looking at this option may offer you a 25- to 50-cent gain compared to the fall price. If we get the anticipated large crop, this should hold true. A marketing strategy that I have used for many years and has worked well is utilizing a hedge-toarrive contract. When you use this tool, you are locking in the CBOT price and leaving the basis open. This gives you the flexibility to lock in the basis

there is quite the drop from the expiring July contract to the August contract which could be the anticipation of the seasonal drop. The pork cutout has been fairly stable which suggests that there may be some consumer resistance because of price. It would appear that the next few weeks could set the tone and direction of the hog market into the fall months. Therefore, producers are urged to keep attuned to market conditions and protect inventories as warranted. ❖
need to add another 5-10 million bushels to the export projection. New crop bean sales were 20.6 million bushels. The National Oilseed Processors Association crush for June was 118.7 million bushels, less than the 119.5 million bushel expectation. A strike in Argentina by port workers is slowing export loadings. Truckers there are scheduled to begin a strike on July 21. OUTLOOK: August soybeans were down 19 cents this week at $11.76 3⁄4 per bushel. They continue to trek toward the $11.36 contract low. The new crop November contract gained 10 1⁄4 cents to settle at $10.85 1⁄4 per bushel, trading entirely within last week’s range. The November contract low remains intact at $10.54 per bushel.
Fresh buying for new crop provided good support for the November contract, but they did close 33 1⁄2 cents off the spike higher caused by the Malaysian incident. There could still be some fireworks in the bean market with the yield not determined and end user buying, but it will be dependent on weather forecasts. Without such weather help, estimates for November contract lows are as low as $9.40 per bushel. The first support in November beans is the contract low at $10.54 with resistance at this week’s high at $11.18 3⁄4 per bushel. Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending July 18: Chicago September wheat gained 6 1⁄4 cents, Minneapolis rose 2 1⁄4 cents, but Kansas City fell 2 1⁄2 cents per bushel. August crude oil surged $2.30 higher to close at $103.10 per barrel, ultralow-sulfur diesel dropped 1 1⁄2 cents, reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending tumbled over 4 3⁄4 cents lower, and natural gas collapsed 19 1⁄2 cents lower. The next USDA supply/demand sheets will be published Aug. 12. This material has been prepared by a sales or trading employee or agent of CHS Hedging Inc. and should be considered a solicitation. ❖
Know your marketing tools HUNEKE, from pg. 14A when it’s at a favorable level. When looking at my marketing plan, I usually sell into the December contract for corn and monitor the spread between December and the following July. This usually gives you an opportunity to “roll” the December contract to July and pick up an additional spread of 25 to 35 cents. If the spread is under 25 cents, then you need to determine if the December contract is worth rolling as the interest and storage cost may not offset the additional time. You may still pick up a more favorable basis by rolling, so it may still make sense to roll the contract. However sometimes, it doesn’t make sense. In a recent crop year, the spread was under 20 cents. I waited and followed the basis at several corn buyers. Moving into late November, one of the processors narrowed their basis to 15 cents under. The market was telling me not to hold onto the corn so I locked the basis and delivered the crop. I had my bins empty by the first week in
December and they sat empty for the rest of the year. Don’t be afraid to let your bins sit empty when it makes sense to do so. The hedge-to-arrive contract is only one marketing tool. As I said, there are other tools that you can use, such as options (puts and calls), basis fixed contracts and other hybrid products. The key is you must understand the tools and the risk and cost associated with each. So it’s time to get back into the marketing strategy thought process and figure out what tools you want to utilize. Writing down your plan and sharing it with others will help with the plan’s execution. Don’t be afraid to seek out others to help you, but ultimately it’s your decision. Make it happen.

were able to recover half of the losses by the close of business on Friday. On the other hand, new crop soybeans did not establish a new low for the move in this week’s action as demand popped up in the market. The USDA announced new crop soybean sales of 1,412,000 mt U.S. origin, 116,000 mt of optional-origin soybeans to China, and 120,000 mt of old crop beans to China in their daily reporting system. Included in the sales announcement was the sixth largest daily sale on record of 708,000 mt to China. Current weather forecasts look good for crop development, but ever hopeful bulls are quick to point out the soybean crop is made in August. To their woe, extended forecasts don’t pose any problems right now. Funds were net short soybeans on the latest commitment of traders report as of July 15. Weekly 2013-14 export sales continue to stay in the plus column when we need them to be negative. Old crop sales totaled 1.4 million bushels, bringing total old crop commitments to 1.676 billion bushels. The USDA is forecasting 1.62 billion bushels of exports. A portion of the unshipped sales will be rolled into new crop, like most years, but the USDA may still

NYSTROM, from pg. 14A pushed prices lower than many expected for this time in the season. Weekly export sales for old crop were the largest in seven weeks at 22.6 million bushels. With seven weeks left in the marketing year, we need just 7.8 million bushels per week to hit the USDA 1.9 million bushel mark. New crop sales were disappointing at 19.4 million bushels since we are trailing last year’s total new crop commitments for this time of year. The USDA announced a sale of 210,000 metric tons of new crop corn to unknown in their daily reporting system. The high cost of freight, both rail and barge, caught the attention of everyone this week. The sluggishness of barge movements due to high water and the prospect for a huge harvest brought buyers to the market. Most are skeptical that freight delays will improve much this fall and anticipate logistics could be a nightmare regardless of where you are located. The Fed’s Beige Book this week suggested that growers have sold more new crop bushels this year than last year. I have heard just the opposite, especially as the crop gets bigger. Funds decreased their net long position in corn as of July 15 and may be net short as we head into the weekend. OUTLOOK: While demand from end users has accelerated, traders don’t seem to be in a big hurry to step in to halt the slide lower when the crop looks so good. The next weather concern for corn will be cool temperatures. Whether that means a frost scare or just late development is unknown. Currently, low nighttime temperatures during pollination are favorable for record corn yields. Any corrections or bounces will be considered short-term recoveries in a bear market.

Temperatures in the 100s have reduced overall milk intakes. Good demand from ice cream and cream cheese manufacturers have some butter plants selling cream. This is also adding to lower butter production. Butter inventories continue to lag typical levels as previously committed export sales continue to be delivered.

disease, suggesting the plan is a template for similar plans involving other important dairy export markets. The plan, drafted by the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, calls for the United States and Canada to recognize each other’s efforts to control an outbreak, while regionalizing how the outbreak is handled, so as to allow continued trade with disease-free areas of the country. In comments filed with APHIS Monday, NMPF, the voice of 32,000 dairy farmers in Washington, noted that Canada is the second-largest export market for U.S. dairy products, and that an outbreak of a highly contagious animal disease such as FMD in either country could be catastrophic for the U.S. dairy industry. “We applaud the Agriculture Department for working with its Canadian counterparts to prepare for a foreign animal disease outbreak,” said Jamie Jonker, NMPF’s vice president for sustainability and scientific affairs. “We fully support the draft plan and see it as an effective tool for dealing with an outbreak.” The plan, officially termed a framework, calls for the two countries to cooperate in establishing quarantine areas that would be the focus of disease eradication efforts in an outbreak. Trade could then resume or continue in areas considered free of disease. Lee Mielke is a syndicated columnist who resides in Everson, Wash.

Dairy farmers know the importance of getting plenty of water to their cows during the hot summer months, but what about your calves? High ambient temperature and humidity can lead to heat stress in calves. In these situations, calf panting and sweating do not compensate for this stress and calf energy needs will increase which must be supported by adequate nutrition. University of Minnesota Extension’s Hugh ChesterJones writes, “In addition, as calves attempt to maintain body temperature in the summer months increased respiration and sweating results in water losses which have to be replaced. As environmental temperature increases, water intake increases accordingly.” Research indicates that the amount of water needed by nursery calves depends not only on environmental conditions, but on other factors like the incidence of scours and the amount of milk or milk replacer and starter intake. Water intake is closely related to starter intake, but water intake may increase independent of starter intake when temperature is above the Upper Critical Temperature for calves. Research has shown the amount of liquid in milk replacer also affects the amount of water consumed. Water temperature can also affect water intake. So, what can you do? Keeping your calves hydrated is simple and easy, but it may require a little extra labor during the summer months. • Make sure your calves always have water — if you notice their bucket is empty, fill it. Check calves several times a day to ensure they have water. • Keep the water fresh. The calf may still have half her bucket left, but if it has been sitting all day, has feed in it, or is dirty she may not drink it. Aim to give calves fresh water at least twice a day. • Clean out buckets. Especially if you have a system where grain and water use the same buckets, make sure they all get a thorough cleaning between calves. Residues and germs from other calves can wreak havoc on an already immuno-suppressed calf. In the summer months, it’s important for every animal on your farm to have adequate access to fresh, clean water. Making sure your calves have enough to drink can help prevent issues now and down the road. This article was written by Emily Wilmes with University of Minnesota Extension.

butter prices are expected to limit export opportunities, but nonfat dry milk/skim milk powder exports are expected to remain strong. For 2015, no change is forecast to fat-basis exports, but strength in NDM/SMP sales will help support higher skim-solids exports. Product prices are forecast higher for 2014 with strength in butter prices expected to carry into 2015. Despite increased production, robust domestic demand and stronger NDM/SMP exports will support prices. Class III and Class IV prices for 2014 were raised on stronger component product prices and the Class IV price forecast for 2015 was raised reflecting strength in butter prices. The 2014 Class III milk price is expected to range $21-$21.30 per hundredweight., up from the $20.80-$21.20 projected last month, and compares to $17.99 in 2013 and $17.44 in 2012. The 2015 Class III average, at $16.95$17.95, is unchanged from a month ago. The 2014 Class IV average is projected at $21.95$22.35, up from $21.45-$21.95 expected last month, and compares to $19.05 in 2013 and $16.01 in 2012. The 2015 average should slip to $18.70-$19.80, up a nickel from last month. The all milk price is forecast at $23.25-$23.55 for 2014 and $19.75-$20.75/cwt. for 2015. ■ The National Milk Producers Federation has endorsed a draft plan for allowing the United States and Canada to cope with an outbreak of a serious foreign animal contagion, such as foot-and-mouth

‘Big Blue’ is dependable iron on Otter Tail farm By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer “Our ability to accomplish more each working hour keys our decisions when we buy new equipment,” according to Terry Carlson of Carlson Turkey Farms, Parkers Prairie, Minn. Field efficiency is a high priority with this Otter Tail County agricultural enterprise which produces about 60,000 turkeys each year while growing 3,000 acres of irrigated corn and edible beans. Their latest upgrade is the New Holland T9670 Quad Track powerhouse. “With this rig you’re definitely not so tired at the end of the day,” said Lyle Oeltienbruns, Carlson’s brother-in-law and farming partner. “Plus we’ve covered quite a few more acres each day than we used to.” The farm’s first New Holland combine, a TR75, showed up in 1977. “Bought it at a farm auction in North Dakota,” said Carlson. “It was quite a combine; we ran it until it was dead.” The next combine was a TR95; then a TR96 and a pair of TR97s; next step was a 9070 and then the current 9080. Their first New Holland tractor was purchased in 1995. Their current fleet consists of two 8870s, two 8030’s, a T7270, a TJ530 and now the big dog, that Quad Track T9670. “‘Go big or go home’ is our power philosophy,” Carlson said.

core of brand loyalty. “These blue machines have been good for us,” he said. “Very trouble-free and quick on adoptions that improve operator comfort. But most important, we’ve got good service.” For Carlson Turkey Farms, home for sales and service is 75 miles away, at Richland Implement in Wahpeton, N.D. Operational duties at the farm get split with Oeltienbruns doing most of the planting and combining; Carlson does field tillage and is business manager of the turkey operation with their sons sharing field and turkey chores as needed. A 16-row header on
their New Holland 9080 combine comfortably cleans up 200 acres per day. If need be, 300 acres per day are doable with their 16-row White 8516 planter. Doing the numbers, their current machinery fleet includes seven tractors, two grain combines and three edible bean harvesting units, plus an assortment of tillage equipment, rock pickers, grain wagons, and whatever else is needed to meet the seasonal needs of two different crops. Because theirs is a growing operation, Carlson said See BIG BLUE, pg. 21A
Carlson: ‘You quickly learn what brand works best’ tion legacy for Carlson. His grandfather was in the turkey business in the 1920s. “Grandpa got other growers together up at Pelican Rapids. Soon there was enough production up here so in 1958 they built their own processing plant.” Today turkey barns squatting amongst these irrigated farms are even more common than the dozens of
lakes dotting the countryside a few miles north of Parkers Prairie. Tons of turkey litter combined with “water as needed” from their center pivot irrigation systems generates very respectable corn yields of 180-200 bushels per acre. Those corn yields are nourished by 10 to 14 inches of irrigation water. Their kidney beans are routinely in the 2,000-pounds-per-acre category, with about seven inches of irrigated water. Corn is planted at 34,000-seeds-peracre populations, in 30-inch rows. “We try to get the best hybrids in the 92day to 96-day maturity,” said Oeltienbruns. “Yield punch on these earlier hybrids has really improved in recent years. We chop stalks, do some mini-

mum tillage after harvest, then some tillage just ahead of planting.” Turkey production used to be about 180,000 birds per year, but that changed in 2010 when a tornado flattened half of their turkey barns. This was the same tornado that ripped up Wadena, Minn., 26 miles away. “So instead of 30,000 newly hatched chicks every two months, we now start a flock of about 22,000 chicks every four months,” Carlson said. These birds grow amazingly fast. “Only 20 weeks and we’ve got a 44pound bird that won’t fit in your oven.” Like farm equipment, Carlson has gotten very ‘brand specific’ on his turkey genetics — “You quickly learn what brand works best.” ❖

Experts debate value of wetland mitigation By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Wetland mitigation is a process that ensures no-net loss of wetlands. The process allows for development in areas where wetland impacts cannot be avoided, provided that new wetlands are created or restored elsewhere. Don Baloun “Wetland mitigation became an issue in recent years because the program was effectively not made available for agricultural drainage projects,” according to Warren Formo, Minnesota Agricultural Water Resources Center executive director. “Wetland mitigation had been used to offset wetland losses from road construction projects and urban expansion since the early 1990s, with most of the newly created wetlands on agricultural lands.” Is wetland mitigation a key strategy in the ongoing efforts to clean up the Minnesota River and its many tributaries? “Wetlands serve a vital function,” said Don Baloun, Minnesota state conservationist with the Natural Resources Conservation Service, “in trapping sediment and nutrients that leave the landscape for many reasons. They’re Mother Nature’s kidney. Loss of wetlands in watersheds and tribuMankato

taries removes this opportunity.” Formo agrees, but with caution. “Wetland mitigation can be helpful,” he said, “but recognize that it will not work everywhere. For example, let’s consider nitrogen losses. Within a field, nitrogen Warren Formo losses are not the same on every acre and to a large extent are the reverse of crop yields. Bigger yields; less nitrogen losses. If inadequate drainage is limiting yield, improved drainage can actually reduce nitrogen losses by improving yield which then also improves nitrogen uptake.” Formo suggests the flood-water area in a crop field is likely providing minimal benefit in terms of habitat and water retention. But if that flood-waters area were drained, a new wetland could be created somewhere else in the watershed that could provide better water quality and habitat benefits. The participants pay the costs of wetland mitigation. The buyer of the credits works with the seller — owner of the mitigation bank — to negotiate a price. It’s a private transaction. However the developer of the new wetland pays all costs associated with the project in order to be eligible for credits. Formo noted that the developer then recovers Fairmont

these costs by selling credits to those who want to do a drainage project; and they don’t need to be adjoining properties. Water keeps making news “Abundant spring rains have somewhat eased the concerns about irrigation and growing water shortages across certain areas of Minnesota,” said Baloun. “But the expanding number of permits for agricultural irrigation is pressuring the Department of Natural Resources to monitor the number of permits being issued … and the impacts on groundwater aquifers. The contribution of nitrogen to surface and groundwater as a result of agriculture is not going away.” “It is unfortunate,” Formo said, “that a few legislative leaders and DNR officials have become so caught up in the White Bear Lake situation and related ‘sky is falling’ fears. Certainly long-term sustainability of water supplies is of concern to irrigators, but wise use is not the same as no use. “We encourage all irrigators to talk to their local DNR office about permitting, recognizing that for some producers this is news as they may been irrigating for several decades prior to the requirement for permits and may believe they are grandfathered in and not subject to a permit. “There are also situations where land has been See MITIGATION, pg. 23A

Q&A: Tom Kalahar on application of wetland mitigation BWSR with their checkbooks and buy credits if they cannot avoid draining a wetland. Q: Your personal take on wetland mitigation? Kalahar: Wetland mitigation is mostly politics
and should be used only as a last resort. If not used properly, the system would only allow those with the fattest checkbooks to continue to drain wetlands. Seldom are new wetlands comparable in value to the lost ones. ❖

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Tom Kalahar has 30-plus years experience as a Soil Conservation Technician in Renville County, Minn. Q: Who does wetland mitigations and why? Kalahar: Mostly the highway Tom Kalahar department because of its many road projects. Minnesota Department of Transportation has to provide funding for wetland restoration to satisfy their annual road project mitigation obligations. Corporations also mitigate when building shopping malls and wetland impacts cannot be avoided. Some farmers do mitigation however the process is not easy or cheap. Q: Is mitigation essential? Kalahar: Mitigation is a last resort to draining an existing wetland. Most times it is for an unavoidable project such as roads and other public safety reasons. Agricultural mitigation is also a last resort and seldom encouraged by any of the agencies. Q: Is wetland banking a key strategy in cleaning up the Minnesota River? Kalahar: Wetland banking will have very little effect in cleaning up the Minnesota River and would not be considered a key strategy. You go through a long process to get to the mitigation stage. Most times the wetland impact is avoided before mitigation is considered. Q: What is a wetland bank? Kalahar: Wetland banks are an identification system for the Board of Water and Soil Resources. It’s BWSR’s way of tracking wetlands. People go to

MITIGATION, from pg. 22A sold or rented and permits were not transferred or maintained. It is good and appropriate for DNR to publicize the need for permits and invite farmers to talk to them about permits, but less helpful to go about it as they have by creating fear in the media and at the legislature.” Meanwhile a recent story in the Des Moines Register stated that as much as $1 billion in potential yield reductions are occurring through rain- and windinduced loss of topsoil in Iowa. Researchers, it read, are working on developing a better way to measure erosion; they believe parts of Iowa could be losing up to 12 times more soil than government reports suggest. “We’re losing soil that’s highest in organic matter, highest in nutrients,” according to Iowa State University professor Rick Cruse, who is leading a team developing new methods to reduce soil loss. “We are losing the cream of the crop.” ❖

MPCA seeks comments on water quality improvement report The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is seeking comments on a water quality improvement report and protection plan for the Crow Wing River watershed. The report, known as a Total Maximum Daily Load, focuses on pollution caused by excess nutrients, excess bacteria, and low dissolved oxygen. The public is invited to submit comments through Aug. 12. The Crow Wing River watershed includes all or parts of Becker, Cass, Clearwater, Crow Wing, Hubbard, Morrison, Otter Tail, Todd, and Wadena counties in central Minnesota.
This study addresses excess nutrient levels, mainly phosphorus, in seven lakes, excess bacteria levels, mainly E. coli, in 10 streams, and low dissolved oxygen levels in three streams throughout the watershed. Findings from this study will help water resources managers identify of the most effective methods for restoring and improving water quality within the watershed. The TMDL report is part of a nationwide effort under the federal Clean Water Act to identify and clean up pollution in streams, rivers and lakes. Every

two years, states are required to submit a list of impaired waters to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. A TMDL report is a scientific study that calculates the maximum amount of a pollutant a water body can receive (known as the “loading capacity”) without exceeding water quality standards. After receiving public comments, the MPCA will revise the draft Upper Mississippi River Bacteria TMDL Study and Protection Plan and submit it to the EPA for approval. Following EPA approval of the study, an implementation plan will be developed to reduce pollution throughout the watershed. The draft report is available on the MPCA’s TMDL projects web page, or at the St. Paul office, 520 Lafayette Road North. Comments may be submitted to Bonnie Finnerty, MPCA, 7678 College Road, Baxter, MN 56425, or by email to bonnie.finnerty@state.mn.us. For more information, contact Bonnie at (218) 316-3897, or (800) 657-3864. Written comments must include a statement of your interest in the draft TMDL report; the action you wish the MPCA to take, including specific references to sections of the draft TMDL that you believe should be changed; and specific reasons supporting your position. More information on the state's impaired waters list and TMDL studies is available at www.pca.state.mn.us/water/tmdl/index.html or (800) 657-3864.

First farmer to be MAWQCP certified in Elm Creek area ST. PAUL — The Minnesota Department of Agriculture and Rural Advantage certified the first farm family, Darwin and Sandy Roberts, in the Minnesota Agricultural Water Quality Certification Program for the Elm Creek Pilot Area July 17. The Roberts’ have a corn and soybean operation near Granada, Minn. Their operation borders the pilot waterway, Elm Creek, and they have installed a number of conservation practices along the creek, including woodchip bioreactors, treatment wetlands, and cover crops. Darwin serves on the Martin County Soil and Water Conservation District board and partners with the University of Minnesota to do agricultural conservation research on his operation. MAWQCP is a voluntary program designed to accelerate adoption of on-farm conservation practices that protect Minnesota’s lakes and rivers. Producers who implement and maintain approved farm management practices will be certified and in turn assured that their operation meets the state’s water quality goals and standards for a period of ten years. The Elm Creek Pilot Area was selected as one of four pilots throughout the state to test and refine the program. This pilot area includes parts of Faribault, Jackson and Martin counties.

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Of all the major rivers of Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri that empty into the Mississippi River, the Minnesota River has the unfortunate reputation of putting the most nitrates into the Gulf of Mexico. Lower corn prices may be the best tool for cleaning it up. How so? As profits get squeezed out of corn production, corn producers will grow less of it, and require less fertilizer to grow it. Speaking at a Minnesota River Board session this past winter, MRB executive director Shannon Fisher noted that an Environmental Protection Agency model indicated at least 9 percent of the nitrates in the Gulf of Mexico are coming from the Minnesota River basin, more than its share of the total Mississippi River basin. “We are releasing a lot of nitrates,” said Fisher, who is also a professor at Minnesota State University, Mankato, where he is director of the Water Resources Center. He attributed part

NITRATES, from pg. 25A mented to reduce this nitrate issue, but I’m not certain that we users of the land are ready for the intensity of implementation that’s going to be needed,” he said. Fisher noted that the trend of corn-oncorn has exacerbated the nitrate issue. Even though mineralization is a continuing biological process in the soils which results in additional nitrogen, he said this natural phenomena isn’t part of the increasing nitrate levels in river waters. “In this natural system there is only enough of this natural nitrate production for historically what the biological community in the soils uptakes naturally,” he said, “so very little nitrate actually leaves that system.” Advanced drainage systems with stop valves to store water in the soil profile as needed are a partial answer to this nitrate issue. Unfortunately they don’t retrofit well into existing systems, said Fisher, especially where pattern tiling is already in place. These advanced systems also have some requirements in terms of field slope, so it’s not a one-sizefits-all solution by any means. Fisher made note of growing efforts to promote the recreational value of the Minnesota River, specifically hiking, biking, horseback riding, canoeing and fishing. Elimination of a minor flood control dam just below Granite Falls has already stimulated an increase in fish populations. “This resulted in a change in hydrology of the river water,” Fisher said. “Does
it do much for water quality? Yes and no. You at least are no longer building up sediments behind the dam. But you are also now flowing those sediments downstream. But ecologically the fish of the river are definitely going to benefit.” Ditch redetermination studies have been a major accomplishment of the Minnesota River Board. Fisher said the board would be disbanding as it is currently structured, but that their water quality conservation efforts will logically continue with financial support from the state legislature, Soil and Water Conservation Districts of each county, Watershed Districts, and County Commissioner groups. The Minnesota River Board has collected significant data over the years which will be available to basin legislators, agency leadership such as Department of Natural Resources, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and other major stakeholders including commodity groups and farm organizations such as Minnesota Farm Bureau and Minnesota Farmers Union. Fisher said that phosphorous levels in the Minnesota River Basin have, in fact, ticked downward; total suspended solids values have gone down as well. “But what we aren’t seeing is enough improvement to meet the requirement of the Lake Pepin challenge,” he said. “We are recognizing that with the nitrates we have a real significant problem. And significant problems require significant solutions which we don’t yet have.” ❖

Q&A: Self-assessment to improve soil, water By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Started two years back as a farmer-led initiative to raise awareness among farmers about water quality issues, the Green Star Farms Initiative is a totally voluntary program that keeps growing, keeps asking more questions, and keeps finding more answers about protecting and enhancing the rural Minnesota landscape.
And it’s all based on a stewardship assessment that you give to your own farming operation. In essence, you’re testing yourself. Jeremy Geske, watershed education specialist for the Minnesota Agricultural Water Resource Center, spoke with The Land at the Minnesota State Cattlemen’s Tour in Redwood Falls, Minn.

Initiative today? Geske: We’re right at about 250 farms that have completed their self-evaluations and many of which are now doing their third-party assessments as requested. Participating is good. Obviously our goal to have a lot more farms enrolled. It’s a Jeremy Geske quick and simple task. Sitting down for 15-20 minutes is all that it takes. Q: So where do they start? Geske: Go GreenStarFarms.org and simply click on “get started.” It’s a simple online evaluation worksheet. Completing the assessment provides a thorough evaluation of your farming practices across crop and livestock production systems. Any questions call me and we’ll get you going. Q: What is this third party assessment? Geske: It’s an option for those farmers who want verification by an outside person. Currently that person is me. I will set up an appointment with the farmer — maybe an hour or two at the most — to go over your survey and how you evaluated your farm on conservation practices. I’ll have the farmer show me around his farm so I can see firsthand what he is doing. If everything measures up, then I sign off on it. Q: What’s the primary purpose of the program? Geske: Essentially two primary purposes. For the participating farms it’s a self assessment on your own conservation practices and quantifies the good work you may already be doing. But the more important reason is to identify ways in which we can individually on our own farms, or collectively based on knowledge gained, impart strategies for the greater good. We need this data gathered collectively because we often respond to our critics about the good work that farmers are already doing and not getting credit. We know there’s a tremendous amount of good conservation already in place but are not documented. This gives us a chance to say, “Look, we’ve got all these farms across the state that are scoring very high on protecting water quality and controlling soil erosion.” But we only know that anecdotally. The Green Star Farms Initiative provides a means of gathering that information. Q: Is Green Star unique with Minnesota? Geske: We’re the first to do this as a completely farmerled initiative. No government involvement is required. It is completely confidential. Wisconsin recently launched a similar program. But we think our Green Star program could be a good plan for others to follow. Q: There is no “governmental umbrella” over you? Geske: Absolutely no. We are strictly farmer-led and our Minnesota Agricultural Water Resources Center is now a coalition of 23 different agricultural organizations banding together without any government control or policy. Q: Are you discovering enough resources to build a stronger conservation effort? Geske: Very definitely. All the farm groups are committed to this effort. Checkoff funding from the See GREEN STAR, pg. 29A
Checkoff funding behind farmer-led environmental surveys
Q: Any surprises as these surveys get completed? Geske: Perhaps the first surprise is that when farmers sit down and do their own assessment they are always
amazed at how “user friendly” this stewardship evaluation is. And invariably as a farmer goes through his own assessment he notes a question or two that makes him think a bit more about something that he was thinking, but hadn’t yet put into practice. From my perspective doing thirdparty assessments, I would say farmers are harder on themselves than I would be. They tend to score them-
selves lower even though they are doing 90-plus percent things that enrich conservation on their own soils. Q: Have the unusually heavy rain storms this spring screwed up the stewardship evaluations? Geske: I think we all realize that when you have these six-inch, eightinch and 10-inch deluges, the best conservation practices can’t control the results. But it does shed the light on simply the fact that we need to look at some things a little differently in view of these higher rainfall patterns that are becoming more common. It’s a matter of determining are there things we can do beyond what we are already doing. Q: Are these heavy storms put-
ting even more pressure on pattern tiling? Geske: Sure, the critics of tiling blame it for a lot of things and they’ve certainly added to their barrages this season. But the stuff we’re seeing on our participating farms is showing a lot of good things from pattern tiling. For example it has almost eliminated the overland runoff of soil, thus keeping our soils, and phosphorous on the fields, where it belongs. What this is doing is finding new and better ways of doing things to protect our total environment and that’s a win/win for everyone. more information visit For www.greenstarfarms.org or call Geske at (612) 756-1200. ❖

From the Fields: Corn, soybeans making a rebound By KRISTIN KVENO
The Thronsons Gary, Minn.
Winter wheat harvest is just three or four weeks away for Jared Thronson. When The Land spoke to him on July 10 he was pleased Jared Thronson with his first-ever winter wheat crop — “it looks really good.” Thronson’s combine is in his shop; he’s having a John Deere mechanic come out to look over the machine and let him know what things need to be fixed in order to have a smooth harvest. While the winter wheat looks good one of his soybean fields near Bejou, Minn., received some hail damage on July 7. “There were lots of stalks broken off,” he said. “(Beans) will lose some yield potential, I’m sure. ... I do have hail insurance so that’s a good thing.” The bean field Thronson seeded last looks the best, which he attributes to the fact that those beans were planted on sandy ground. “The bins are empty,” Thronson said, following a busy stretch of hauling grain. Cooler weather was forecasted through next week — “not great for growing crops” — and some rain was in the forecast, but “the last couple of days have been nice.” Overall Thronson believes that the crops look pretty good, and for that he’s thankful — “not too much stuff to complain about.”
“Where Farm and Family Meet”
The Wiltses Herman, Minn.
With all the rain that has fallen this summer on Dennis Wilts’ fields, he was happy to report that they’re “drying out pretty good.” The Land spoke with Wilts on July 10 as things were finally starting to get growing again after the June’s deluge of rain. The forecast called for a chance of rain over the following two days. “We don’t need any big rains,” he said, an opinion with which producers around his area would likely agree.
The Thronsons ❖ Gary, Minn ❖ Norman-Mahnomen Counties corn, soybeans and wheat
The Wiltses ❖ Herman, Minn ❖ Stevens County corn, soybeans, wheat and sugar beets
The Hoffmans ❖ New Ulm, Minn ❖ Brown County dairy cattle, corn, soybeans and alfalfa
The Hagens ❖ Lake Mills, Iowa ❖ Winnebago County corn and soybeans
“We have some corn that looks good, and some that looks not so good,” Wilts said. With fields drying out, the corn is “starting to green up again,” and it was ranging from “chest Dennis Wilts high to knee high.” He’d like to see temperatures rise to get some heat on the crop. Similarly, Wilts said the beans had “stood still for a while due to the wet weather,” but are now starting to grow. As for the sugar beets, the “first couple of fields are looking really good,” he said. Wilts cultivated the beet fields a few days prior to help get them going. He plans to be spraying beets in another week to 10 days. He has been keeping busy hauling grain into town, mowing the road ditches and around the fields, helping his son with an addition, as a well as finally “getting caught up on yard work.” All that busy-ness still allows Wilts time to reflect on the crops so far this summer. “They’re a little behind because we got planting late and all the wet weather,” he said. “At best we’re looking at an average crop.” Average is not great but it definitely could be much, much worse.
The Hoffmans New Ulm, Minn.
Don Hoffman is back from his vacation to Indianapolis and he’s happy to report that “it was a great time; no problems (at home) at all.” Don Hoffman The Land caught up with him July 9 as he was getting back into the swing of things on the farm. The baling of the second hay crop is complete, and it appeared that the quality was quite good. Quantity was good, too — he has “600 marshmallow hills already.” With the hay crop it’s “so far, so good.” The color of the corn plants are coming back, but there’s “unevenness in the crop.” Hoffman is concerned that the short plants may not make it. The beans are “pretty good,” although they’re still “a good week behind normal.” All of the rain set the crops back, but with “virtually no rain at the farm” the previous two weeks, Hoffman said he “would actually like to see an inch of rain again.” Meanwhile, Hoffman is working on “building an apartment for bad weather days” at the barn. Milking goes on at the farm 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so he wanted a place for employees to stay in case of emergencies. He knows that hitting “a
bad weather stretch” is only a matter of time. When that bad weather does happen he wants his employees to be housed at the farm, and not attempting to drive in unforgiving conditions. Calving is in full swing at the dairy, with “20 to 25 calves born in the last couple weeks,” Hoffman said. He’s “looking forward to some more milk in the bulk tank.” Even though the rain in June seemed to be unrelenting, Hoffman said he believes that “in the end will be a good thing.” Now if just a little more would fall, he said, that would be an even better thing.
The Hagens Lake Mills, Iowa
“Nothing’s under water.” The same thing couldn’t be said for many fields not far from Jim Hagen’s farm, when The Land Jim Hagen caught up with him on July 8. He knows that he’s fortunate to have his crops be in the shape that they are in. “It’s all coming along pretty good.” He did have to replant a few acres of soybeans, but already “they’re all up.” He’s also still spraying soybeans; he believes aphids will likely be here at the end of the month. Hagen said he planned on “cultivating soybeans today,” and was happy to report that they looked good. Hagen said that “perfect” weather in the mid-90s would provide some needed heat to get crop going; “It will be tasseling in a few days.” When not out in the field Hagen has been busy painting the vintage 1950s hog house in preparation for his wedding reception in early August. Planning the reception is “stressing me out,” he said, noting the incredible amount of planning and preparing required for the wonderful occasion. From wedding reception preparation to spraying beans, Hagen has been busy this summer, but crop conditions are making him take pause. “It’s good to excellent crops,” he said. There’s a lot to celebrate at the Hagen farm. ❖

MDA to conduct gypsy moth treatments in St. Louis County
The goal for these two businessmen is to set up their own U.S. manufacturing facility for production of EcoLife. That would involve FDA inspections and the assorted rules and regulations that are part of introducing new health products into the U.S. market. “We hope to build enough demand so that within one year we can build our own manufacturing facility in America. In the meantime, we will start out with the imported product directly from Korea,” Sickels said. Healthier livestock is their goal; healthier manure, meaning no antibiotic residue, would be a valuable byproduct. That would enhance the nutrient value of the manure making it more important in growing even healthier crops. Eliminating antibiotics in the U.S. livestock industry potentially is one of the most significant steps in the U.S. livestock industry and certainly adds to the excitement of American EcoLife. For further information check www.korsun.co.kr or contact Sickels: sales@sibainternational.com. ❖

in your livestock’s water, disagreeable odors are virtually eliminated, he said. Healthier livestock is the end result, according to Sickels, but also less use of antibiotics because EcoLife in the water acts to build up the immune system in intestines. If it works, this would be a major advancement in livestock production. Sickels and business partner Randy Kamrath have a trip to South Korea planned to get more knowledgeable about the production and culture of EcoLife, which is already being used by both livestock and poultry producers in South Korea, a technology-rich country especially as it relates to dietary needs of livestock and human nutrition. Kamrath, a former state senator and retired farmer and livestock producer, is excited about this new product. “It appears EcoLife has the potential to produce healthier animals and poultry because of improved and healthier water,” he said. “Yes, that sounds almost too good to be true. That’s why we’re going to Korea. I’ve got to see more with my own eyes what the product does.” He and Sickels are in the first chapter of exploratory work as to the potential of a product used as a water additive to replaces antibiotics. “Obviously if this is what happens and it is costeffective, it could catch on fast,” Kamrath said. They don’t yet have data for projecting costs in the U.S. market but they realize the expense of EcoLife to U.S. livestock and poultry producers has to be ST.

EcoLife might be a classic example. What is EcoLife? Now blessed with Food and Drug Administration clearance, EcoLife is described as a dietary product made from fermented green tea leaves by extracting 14 different kinds of lactic acid bacteria, actinomycete and enzymes. Sounds a bit simplistic but this new product is nothing more than something you add to water. Robert Sickels of Maynard, Minn., thinks EcoLife will be a perfect tonic for cattle, hogs and poultry. His company, SiBa International Corp, is the exclusive distributor for Korsun International, a South Korean firm that holds a world-wide patent for this new product. Sickels described EcoLife this way: A patented, proprietary additive to water provided to animals. Dilution rate would be one part EcoLife to 100 parts water. “It’s a probiotic containing these various bacteria that do good things in water, namely getting rid of the bad bacteria in the intestines of animals and birds,” Sickels said. And that means cleaner-smelling water and manure. After a couple weeks of EcoLife

ountry churches throughout Minnesota are often the only remaining institutions that hold rural communities together. Many of them were once part of a community that supported a creamery, a crossroads store, possibly a school and even a post office. These communities were more than the few houses clustered around the church and store. They served small farms for miles around. People might say, for example, “I’m from Belle River” even if the church and creamery of that Douglas County village was six or seven miles a way. Our village of Clotho is like that. We farm on the ground that once included the dance hall and creamery picnic grounds. But the creamery stands empty and decaying, the dance hall is long gone, and the schoolhouse is an attractive well-maintained residence. Across the street from the former schoolhouse is the Clotho United Methodist church. Although I don’t attend Sunday services there I recognize that little building as the cultural and spiritual center of our extended rural community. That is true thanks to a small and dedicated congregation, many of which are my friends. In addition to regular church services, this remarkable group is
Clotho United Methodist Church, Clotho, Minn. responsible for “First Friday of the Month” morning coffee, community game nights during the winter and even a run/walk fundraiser. But like so many country churches their big event is their summer festival. For more than 30 years, on the Saturday before the first Sunday of August, the congregation gets together to make countless gallons of homemade ice cream and to turn the grassy church grounds into a festival grounds covered with tents and a music stage. The next day, after Sunday service, the sound of music drifts from the festival grounds over pastures and fields. As the band warms up, visitors from as
far as the Twin Cities and Fargo come to enjoy the ice cream, pies, hot dogs, sloppy joes and the relaxed companionship of old and new friends. People from Clotho, people who grew up in Clotho, people who have heard about Clotho and people out for a Sunday drive all gather together to enjoy a pleasant summer Sunday afternoon. That’s the way it is at hundreds of rural churches across Minnesota. The success of church festivals in the face of declining rural populations is a testament to the hard work and dedication of parishioners and the desire of ordinary Minnesotans to stay connected to rural communities. ❖

Janesville to lose its iconic grain bins June storm blew down bins carrying city’s name The iconic grain bins outside of Janesville, Minn., that carried the town’s name and for years served as hometown, agriculture-themed welcome to visitors were partially destroyed in a mid-June windstorm and won’t likely be resurrected. But townspeople recalled their establishment with nostalgia. As Paula Arndt tells the story, it all started one day in 1988 or 1989, when Janesville

Iconic Janesville, Minn., grain bins that for years welcomed visitors to town were blown down in a June windstorm. The destroyed bins will be removed.
State Bank President and fellow Janesville resident Mike Finley counted the grain bins on the west side of town. There were 10. That’s the same number of letters in the town’s name. Since they were right along the highway leading into town, he thought painting one large letter per bin would be an interesting and unique way to welcome people into town. Dill Elevator owned the bins, and they were in use for grain storage at the time. The Dill folks were in favor of the idea. With a committed group of volunteers, a grant of paint from the Valspar Paint Co., loaned equipment from the City of Janesville and private companies and individuals, the project was ready to fly. Artist Laurie Dimmel, who taught art at the Janesville school, had created not just the outline for the letters, but also the eye-catching sun and rainbow backdrop for the letters. She drew it out on the bins, and the 20 or so painters arrived. “We finished it the weekend before Hay Daze,” Arndt recalls. Finley says the core crew was made up of bank employees, but the community as a whole came together to support and participate in the project. It took only two days to paint the rainbow flowing across all 10 bins. “They were two long, full days,” Finley recalls. The finished project was stunning. “I’d go to meetings in the Twin Cities, and people would comment on the rainbow bins,” Finley says. “I talked to politicians who right away commented on the bins. It was very well known.” “It was so fitting for a farming community to have this,”Arndt says. “It just said so much about who we are.” See BINS, pg. 3B

BINS, from pg. 2B No one remembers how much paint it took to paint 10 large grain bins in rainbow colors anymore. “Math was definitely involved in the calculations,” Arndt says. Knowing there would need to be touchups, extra paint was figured in, says Finley. “We stored the extra paint in the bank basement for years, so the colors would match.” In the ensuing years, it was discovered that some colors fade faster than others, and touch-ups were needed. The first touch-up was needed in 1994, the second in 1997. When fading colors failed to live up to the vibrancy of the community in 2004, someone suggested painting the bins to match the City’s water tower, which is blue and white. Less upkeep would be needed, and the original volunteer painters, who were by then 25 years older than when the project began, liked the idea. Frank Galler owned the grain bins by then, and for the most part, they sat empty. “Because they were empty is probably why they blew over,” says Finley. In a wind, rain and hail storm in mid-June, three bins bearing the letters “I,” “L,” and “E” were tipped over and destroyed. “Maybe we can get some volunteers and go tip them back up,” Arndt joked. But the insurance company says they are totaled, Finley says, and that means the landowner will be removing them. Since the rainbow bins were first painted, U.S. Highway 14 has been re-routed to the south, so the bins were no longer as important as they once had been in welcoming people to Janesville. Though it was a large project to coordinate, and a labor-intensive project to keep up, Arndt says, “It was worth it. People enjoyed it for many, many years.” The Free Press of Mankato, Minn., is a sister publication to The Land under The Free Press Media. ❖

In a Friday June 27, 2014 photo, homes are surrounded with sandbags in Prior Lake , Minn. for protection from flood waters by Prior Lake. Minnesota communities are trying to bounce back from last month’s flooding as damage estimates continue to rise.
sack designated Rock County a primary disaster zone. That’s where storms also damaged about 100,000 acres of farmland. Under federal regulations, counties bordering the primary disaster zone also qualify, allowing farmers in Murray, Nobles and Pipestone counties to seek federal assistance. Residents of Waterville scrambled to pile sandbags against the rapidly rising water of two neighboring lakes. It’s estimated the town sustained millions of dollars in damages after 20 percent of it was covered in water. Waterville Mayor Stephen Mihalik said Minnesotans will likely remember this summer for a long time. “Ultimately, we were lucky, he said. “Nobody got hurt or killed. We just have to recover and come back stronger than we were before.” Emergency assessment teams have already visited more than two dozen counties and are expected to continue next week. “Minnesotans are a pretty resilient lot,” Kelly said. “The weather is a fact of life for us up here and we tend to get back on our feet, try to clean things up and make things good as new.” ❖

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota communities are trying to bounce back from last month’s flooding as damage estimates continue to rise. The state’s deputy director of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, Joe Kelly, said last month’s excessive rainfall led to a unique disaster. “It’s across our whole state, and the communities and counties are all in different stages of recovery,” he said. More than 11 inches of rain was recorded at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in June. Gov. Mark Dayton last week asked the Obama administration for a formal disaster declaration. He said a preliminary assessment of just eight counties estimated $10.8 million in damages. At least 51 of the state’s 87 counties have reported flood damage. The Star Tribune reports — http://strib.mn/UcltGQ — flash floods in southwestern Minnesota washed out roads, bridges and railroad tracks. They also damaged a power plant and a dam at Blue Mounds State Park. On Tuesday, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vil-

Farmfest forum panelists tackle farm bill questions By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer This year’s Farmfest, at the Gilfillan Estate southeast of Redwood Falls, Minn., will feature a special forum — “Farm Program Decisions with the New Farm Bill.” Panelists include: Duane Voy, U.S. Department of Agriculture Risk Management Agency director; Kevin Klair, University of Minnesota Center for Farm Financial Management; Paul Simonsen, Minnesota Soybean Research and Promotion Council chair; John Mages, Government Relations Committee chair with the Minnesota Corn Growers Association.; and farm financial consultant Paul Gorman. The Land asked them to give a brief preview of what they expect to talk about at this forum, scheduled for 1:15 p.m., Aug. 5 at the Wick Buildings Farmfest Center. Paul Simonsen “At this stage as a farmer I don’t have a lot of information on the details of the new farm bill. As usual, the devil is in the details but it appears even more emphasis will be on keeping records of your crops, acre
by acre and yield details, too. The previous farm bill I recall we had to go back the previous 10 years for documentation of yields and acres. So likely we’ll Paul Simonsen have a chance to do or redo some of that stuff. Vegetable crops are in the program now, too. I raise sweet corn and peas and I’m not sure how that’s going to affect me. “Last year some of us in this area agreed to grow for Birds Eye because they wanted to establish production up here. So the deal was that if we gave up some of our acres with Seneca, we could grow for Birds Eye. But last January they called and told us they weren’t coming up here after all. All these canning companies had such great yields last year so they cut back on acres. And I’d guess most are wishing they hadn’t made that decision in view of the difficulties with this year’s canning crops. “It sounds to me like there will be lots of meetings by Extension, crop insurance outfits, our commodity groups, etc., simply to explain in more

So likely there will be spread sheets where these agencies will fill in their data and then determine which of the various crop insurance programs works best for them, and their farmer customers. There’s been USDA money allocated to various universities to develop information analysis. We (the Minnesota Soybean Research and Promotion Council) will do a series of webinars starting in August and into September. “We’ll have Al Kluis and others to help determine the financial impact of these decisions. And as I understand, final decisions by individual farmers won’t have to be made until well after harvest.” Paul Gorman “I’ll attempt to explain and detail how various insurance options pencil out — I’m talking individual Agriculture Risk Coverage, County ARC, or how Paul Gorman Price Loss Coverage might work for a particular land parcel at different corn prices. Growers will have those three options. So by doing
some projections on corn prices and corn yields, I’m hoping we can at least provide some guidelines so that when they sit down with their insurance agent they’ve got a starting point for their decision. For example, I intend to provide some numbers so that if you live in Blue Earth County and the average corn price for marketing year 2014 was $3.75 you might get ‘this much per acre’ from the various options. “As far as farmer payments, I worked on that quite a bit this spring including some specific work for a farmer who was short on cash flow. His rent was high; his landlords weren’t willing to lower their figures. We were looking at how we could stick extra money into his cash flow ... which meant using various corn prices and corn yield projections or project what his total cash flow per acre might be. At this stage the bottom line is telling us that unless corn yields are exceptional, there likely won’t be a positive cash flow on corn this year especially when you factor in family living expenses. Illinois data, which we just looked using yields of 197 bushels per acre and $293 rent with corn at $3.75, projSee FARM BILL, pg. 3F
Klair: ‘Information that you absolutely must have’
Kevin Klair John Mages Duane Voy into the implementation, they changed the rules. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen this time.” John Mages “Sign-up deadlines for the options on USDA crop insurance program won’t be until sometime this winter we’re told, so we’ll have some hindsight on 2014 crops and some projections perhaps on pricing for the 2015 year. I think a big assist will be these Farm Calculator information systems. Three universities — Texas A&M, University of Missouri and the University of Illinois — are developing the input data for this Farm Calculator package. We’re told this info
will be available later this summer or early fall. “With that decision aid, surveying the long-term, five-year plan as to which particular insurance option might be the better choice will be more doable. That apparently covers us better on Target Price packages plus the Supplemental Coverage Option should you want to purchase which is only available through the PLC program.” Duane Voy “As a Farmfest panel member, I plan to briefly discuss the Risk Management Agency’s changes to the crop insurance program in response to the farm bill, which provides more risk management options for farmers and ranchers. “It also continues the growth of the crop insurance program and provides expanded farm safety net options for organic and specialty crop producers. Specific topics to be briefly touched on include the Supplemental Coverage Option, beginning farmer provisions, increased program integrity, organic expansion and conservation compliance.”

FARM BILL, from pg. 2F ects losing about $48 per acre before any family living draws, depreciation, etc. Toss those in and the projected lose is about $140 per acre. The point being we’ll have to make some good adjustments on our crop programs going into the future it now appears.” Kevin Klair “Information that you absolutely must have when you start making decision about your farming strategies, especially when it comes to marketing your products and insuring that production is one issue I’ll be talking on. We’re talking about national efforts to develop a decision aid program to help farmers when it comes to deciding what crop insurance program might be best for them. “I admit at this stage this might be mostly wishful thinking because we definitely need to have these rules spelled out and into the hands of our local agencies so they can they properly advice and inform farmers. In the past we’ve worked with farm bills that had specific rules, and then two to three weeks

Climate change talk forecasted at Farmfest forum of the country to another. This current growing season being a prime example. “Once the Upper Midwest got into a more typical season in terms of temperatures and sunshine patters, crop conditions have improved virtually everywhere. Granted, simply too much water late into this spring season wiped out significant crop acres across southern Minnesota, northwest Iowa and even into the Dakotas. But we’re now seeing the potential of records crops in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and eastern Iowa. Even parts of our Minnesota landscape will be getting 200-plus bushel corn.” Brian Buhr — Dean, University of Minnesota Economics “From a global perspective depending upon temperature ranges one of the big issues of climatic change will be the moisture content of our weather world wide. That issue of water
becomes a primary factor of growing conditions in global agriculture. These extreme variations seem to be quite evident in the models; California, for example, continuing in Brian Buhr extreme drought while here in the Upper Midwest one of the wettest spring and early summer seasons on record. “As this happens we’ll see more intensive agriculture in those regions where the favorable weather patterns exist — the ‘haves’ so to speak versus the ‘have nots.’ This will generate a shifting of crop patterns. This will also generate very interesting trade patterns occurring across the globe. Yes, we’ve seen corn movements mostly north, and northwest, of about 150 miles the past few years.

tendency to focus more in the spring and in heavier occurrences. Research is showing that pattern is likely to continue. “But will this impact a redistribution of our major crop production areas? I think not. Yes, we are seeing more crop land farming across the Dakotas and into Canada. But that partly is a result of the genetics being provided to these farmland areas. Yes, there is an assumption that the Corn Belt will keep expanding, mostly westerly and northerly. But I question if that takes into consideration the several nuances that are part of the landscape. “I think as we learn more about weather and climate we’ll be putting more focus into how to better grow these crops where the environment is most suitable. That to me questions if the Corn Belt geography is expanding or is more likely a matter of shifting just a little bit.” Does a cooler growing season for 2014 suggest a trend towards fewer growing degree day units in the future? “We get asked that question frequently but I don’t know if we can really put a tag on that. GDDs (growing degree days) for a particular growing season are somewhat unpredictable based on today’s scientific knowledge. Safer to say that seasons tend to have their own character with tremendous variation from one section

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Farmfest 2014’s feature forum “Climate Change — Impact on Future Ag Production Practices?” takes place 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 7 at the Wick Buildings Farmfest Center. Panelists include DTN ag weather and climate analyst Bryce Anderson, University of Minnesota College of Food, Agriculture and Natural Sciences Dean Brian Buhr, and U of M climate specialist Mark Seeley. Anderson, Buhr and Seeley were asked to give a preview of what they would be discussing at Farmfest. Bryce Anderson — DTN Meteorologist “What I’ll most likely speak about at Farmfest will very much depend on the questions from our audience. And in view of the remarkable diversity of weather across our nation and Bryce Anderson our globe, I suspect we’ll have plenty to talk about. “One issue that I will share are details on the changing rainfall patterns over the upper Midwest the past few years. Very likely what we’re seeing are not flash-in-the-pan incidents. We’re seeing rainfall do several things. First we’re seeing that the Upper Midwest is quite likely to be the focal point of more heavy rains. Also rainfall has a

What weather patterns mean to crops, insects, invasive species FORUMS, from pg. 5F kets grow, I think we’ll see these somewhat dramatic patterns continuing. “This will likely trigger a shifting of the pest and disease issues as well. We’ll be seeing new occurrences across the landscape somewhat in concert with these shifting cropping patterns. If crops weren’t being grown intensively previously but now are, we’re creating a new habitat with these crops that likely will be hosting new pest and disease issues too. But this also depends somewhat upon winter weather conditions so this is likely to be a moving target so to speak.” Will these changing world climates impact the Genetically Modified Organism debates? “This adaptability cycle of GMO crops is also relevant to crop season and crop tolerance. And not to be ignored is a growing consumer demand of nonGMO foods which is apparently prompting both General Mills and Cargill to make some changes in their food products. So I think this trend is more triggered by world economics than changing weather patterns. According to recent U.S. Department of Agriculture data our food costs in the United States are now down to 6.6 percent of our budget. So either disposable incomes have grown or our food resources have increased enough to exert a downward spin on food costs. And at this stage consumer costs are not yet a factor in the trend toward more consumer demand of non-GMO foods. However the value of drought tolerance and pest resist-
ant traits is likely to be tested more and more in this non-GMO food arena.” Here in Minnesota Buhr said the tile and drainage issue continues, particularly as it relates to water quality. And this is a portion of the overall climate — a virtual trading of water certainly is part of this debate. “Improved water utilization is the genetic challenge to our seed industry and this is key to the world climate change challenges ahead.” Mark Seeley, University of Minnesota Extension climatologist “We have an occupying area that is changing. Here in the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Dakotas the climate attributes that we measure, notably temperature and precipitation, are changing the most. That said we are giving weather a tremendous amount Mark Seeley of attention. “Some of the magnitudes and frequency of weather are also changing. With temperature, for example, portions of the state are no longer experiencing the extreme low temps that we once had but they are experiencing extremely warm nights … even situations where the night-time temp never drops below 80 F. That of course has a tremendous affect on crop production because that directly relates to respiration of these crops. These heat waves have caused some livestock losses.
“I’ll talk about how the growing seasons have lengthened, both at the front end and later frost dates in the fall. That has generated significant expansion of corn and soybean acres to the North and Northwest. Plant hardiness zones have shifted also so now the Minnesota Nursery Association, for example, markets plants for landscaping into areas that we formerly did not consider acceptable. “Yes, the pest and disease issues are also moving into these areas. What we used to see only in the central and southern plains states have now made their way into the Upper Midwest, specifically these new row-crop agricultural areas of Minnesota and the Dakotas. Invasive species fall into that category also but that is not to say all invasive species are immigrants into our area because of our changing climate. They may have come in because of other reasons, but once here they find a climatic niche that is suitable. “Perhaps most noticeable is our changing precipitation patterns — both quantity and intensity. We’re seeing a larger annual precipitation, this year 2014 being a prime example. And a larger fraction of that total precipitation is coming in the form of these intense thunder storms. The frequency of 3-inch, 4inch, even 5-inch thunder storms is on the rise. And this accounts for the increasing flash flooding of our landscape. This past June was the wettest June in Minnesota history, and also the wettest single month in Minnesota history. “This is having impacts on water and soil management across the state, especially across the agricultural landscape where tile drainage strategies are an issue, and perhaps amplifying tile drainage through pattern tiling has become a major strategy to lessen the impact of surface drainage and runoff of soils and soil nutrients. Better residue management to protect the soils from erosion certainly was much apparent this spring. It really verified the importance of leaving more soil residue on the landscape all times of the year.”

Farm Families of the Year honored at Farmfest Representing agricultural achievement in diverse farming operations, 74 families from throughout Minnesota are being honored as a 2014 Farm Family of the Year by the University of Minnesota. The farm families will be recognized in ceremonies beginning at 1:30 p.m., Aug. 7, at the annual Minnesota Farmfest on the Gilfillan Estate near Redwood Falls. The event is in the Wick Buildings Farmfest Center on the estate grounds. The farm families represent each county participating in the program. They were chosen by local University of Minnesota Extension committees based on their demonstrated commitment to enhancing and supporting agriculture. “The farm families receiving this year’s honors exemplify what makes Minnesota agriculture strong. They bring innovation, science and hard work to farming. They care greatly about the land and animals and delivering quality products to consumers worldwide,” said Bev Durgan, dean of Extension. “The University of Minnesota takes great pride in honoring these families.” A sampling of farmers and their contributions to agriculture follows, as does a complete list of 2014 Farm Families. Northern Light Farm — Beltrami County After many years of being sustainable farming advocates, Paul Conklin and Becky Marty finally decided to buy a farm of their own in 2000. They produce two acres of market vegetables distributed through a CSA and a farmer’s market. The couple also has a small herd of Highland cattle, honeybee hives and a free ranging flock of laying hens. Paul is a full-time farmer and Becky is a DNR regional ecologist; they have two children. They’re long-time members and supporters of the Minnesota Sustainable Farming Association, the Land Stewardship Project and the organic program of the Carolina Farm Stewardship Association. John Irrthum Family — Goodhue County John grew up on the Irrthum family farm near Wanamingo where his parents, Walter and Pat, milked Ayrshires and Holsteins. Along with his mother Pat, wife Linda and two children, he continues the dairy tradition. The Irrthum family is wellknown for their quality dairy livestock, and was recently awarded the Progressive Breeder Award at the All-Dairy Breeds Convention. Pat coordinates the County Extension Home Study Program; John has been a 4-H leader, which has allowed him to volunteer in many ways at the county fair. John also serves as president of the Minnesota Ayrshire Association. Van Lin Family — Houston County Van Lin Orchards on South Ridge was bought in 1958 by Frank and Helen Van Lin.
