Economic advantage of coal may not be apparent to some MINDS, from pg. 2A extremely diverse economy. Unanswered is the provocative question as to what would Minnesota’s energy costs be if coal were not the major resource for delivering the state’s energy needs. Perhaps as expected, Republican skeptics picked up on the governor’s words. Said State Representative Pat Garafolo, R-Farmington: “Eliminating all coal power in Minnesota is a very sneaky way for Democrats to kill precious metal mining on the Iron Range.” Garafolo’s argument: High energy prices equals no mining. So how do these comments by Minnesota’s governor impact the future of coal-fired electrical power? At this stage the logical response is that no one really knows. However Steve Tomac, Basin Electric Power Cooperative’s Senior Legislative Representative, voices some concern: “We’ve got a strong membership constituency. We generate and transmit electricity to 135 member rural electric systems — about 2.85
million consumers in nine states — but the issues are getting bigger and more difficult to solve. We need to make certain that our membership is politically active so we can hit these challenges face on. “We used to think that if we got 25-30 members involved at the local level, that would be enough to sway the decision in their District. Now we’re at the point where double or triple that number is needed to urge the value and importance of the rural electric cooperative network. “The issues of the day are largely environmental, mostly coming directly from Washington D.C. It’s understandable that different people have different concerns about the environment. And today those folks are in the majority. We need to address their issues. We need to find reasonable approaches to their challenges.” So do most people in the “energy world” recognize that coal continues to be the lowest-cost energy? Tomac questions if the rest of the
OPINION
world considers the economic advantage of coal. “We define that argument readily because we have already made the investment costs,” he said. “At this stage we’ve depreciated only about half the useful life of our system. If there is a significant change in direction we not only have the ongoing costs of our existing generation but also the costs of the new generation that is more environmentally sensitive. It’s going to be a huge cost to our members if we can’t find a way to fully depreciate our coal facilities through long-time use but instead are forced to find new generation sources.” Today about 64 percent of Basin Electric’s generating portfolio comes from coal. What are the other resources? Natural gas has become a big player. Nuclear, at 2 percent, is likely to decrease. But renewables including wind, recovered energy generation and biogas are growing. “We have a huge investment in wind generation. We’re experimenting with solar because it has a lot of public interest. But being forced to switch too rapidly away from coal would be a huge cost,” said Tomac. Dakota Gasification Company, located adjacent to the Antelope Valley generating station, is a bright spot on the horizon of the North Dakota coal industry. Dating back to the fuel embargoes of the President Jimmy Carter era, gasification as a source of synthetic gas slowly emerged as a technology technique that potentially could generate new life for coal resources across America. However that excitement fizzled after the gas embargoes were lifted in the 1970s. But the potential opportunity persisted. A business called Great Plains Synfuels was launched in the early 1980s .Because of various reasons the firm went bankrupt. The Department of the Interior put the facility up for sale. To the rescue was Dakota Gasification Company, a subsidiary of Basin Electric Power Cooperative. “What we have found since about the year 2000 is that the co-products that we make at DGC have now become more of a profit center than the synthetic gas,” Tomac said. “Part of that is because natural gas is very low-priced right now. But we have found that fertilizers, tar oil, liquid nitrogen, carbon dioxide and other products now make up more than 50 percent of our income.” And with urea into the agricultural market in 2015, this new byproduct
will significantly boost total revenues for DGC. Also a surprisingly profitable venture has been the building of a pipeline to carry carbon dioxide into the Canadian oil fields about 200 miles north. CO2, essentially a waste product, is pumped into the rock structure of these oil fields and tremendously increases the “yield” of crude oil. Dakota Gasification handles about 28,000 tons of lignite each day with about 18,000 tons fed to the gasifiers. Intense combustion-induced heat from 14 gasifiers breaks the molecular structure of the coal to produce approximately 160 million cubic feet of synthetic natural gas daily, along with several agricultural and chemical coproducts. “The Dakota Gasification Company has a bright future because of these several co-products,” said Tomac. “It would be hugely expensive to build a similar plant today. Perhaps that will come around as the ‘greenhouse gas’ legislation moves forward and as our energy policy evolves.” Meanwhile other nations are challenging the global warming and carbon tax issues. After the Australian Senate recently voted to repeal the country’s carbon tax of $25 per ton, Heartland Institute President Joseph Bast commented, “The decision by Australia to repeal its carbon tax is further evidence that the global warming movement is now in global retreat. Australian voters realized the tax, which cost the average household more than $500 a year, had zero impact on the climate while it destroyed jobs and punished the poor and people on fixed incomes. “The odds of a new international treaty being adopted at the next United Nations meeting in Paris in 2015, already poor, have dropped even further. People all over the world are seeing through the hype and exaggeration of politicians and environmental activists. They understand that there simply is no climate crisis, and they no longer are willing to passively accept the taxes, regulations and subsidies passed at the height of global warming alarmism.” Canada, Japan, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom and other nations have also been rolling back efforts to stifle conventional energy usage in the scientifically unsupportable war against carbon dioxide emissions, said James Taylor, Heartland Institute Senior Fellow for Environmental Policy.

As the calendar turns to August, Congress turns to recess. What, our federal legislators haven’t earned a fiveweek furlough after 90 or so days of sweaty inaction since January? In preparation for their stopovers in fly-over country, FARM & FOOD FILE farmers, ranchers and foodBy Alan Guebert ies should read “Packing Political Punch in Rural America,” a six-part online series on, literally, the lay of the farm and food political landscape in today’s badly fractured Washington, D.C. Authored by Sara Wyant, Agri-Pulse Communication’s editor and publisher, the series dives into the changing demographics of rural America and how those changes have changed the way farm and food lobbyists and advocates work Capitol Hill. (Links to the four completed reports are posted at http://www.agri-pulse.com/ or links to individual reports are at http://farmandfoodfile.com/in-thenews/. The final two reports will be posted on AgriPulse’s website the weeks of Aug. 3 and Aug. 10.) For example, the series’ first report reminds readers that the foundation for all federal farm policy was laid in bipartisanship: In 1933, the newly elected president, Franklin Roosevelt, an ardent Democrat, chose an Iowa Republican, Henry A. Wallace, to serve as his secretary of agriculture. Over the years that bipartisanship frayed as America’s connection to farming and rural America lengthened. In 1960, writes Wyant, ag-based Iowa had eight members of the House of Representatives, the same as Florida. Today, Iowa has four, Florida 27. That math is as simple as it is overwhelming. Moreover, Wyant continues, America’s “non-metro” population now stands at 46.2 million, or about 15 percent of the national total, “spread across 72 percent of the nation’s land area.” Interesting, too, 2010 to 2012 marked “the first time there was an estimated population loss for non-metro America as a whole.” Those shifts change Congress and change how Congress sees farmers and ranchers, explains Wyant. Today’s more urban-based Congress naturally tilts more toward food programs than farm programs. Another change is redistricting; it has created highly “safe” seats — many rural and many Republican — observes former Secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman. For 18 years before leading the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Glickman served as the Democratic congressman from Kansas’ Fourth District, a mixture of rural and urban centers. That “blending,” he notes, “meant I had to build bridges that crossed party lines.” Today’s “safe” seats have made bridges unneces-

that preserving grasslands and farming don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Naturally, grasslands can be a source of hay. But experiments in Iowa with strips of prairie grasslands interspersed with traditional croplands have improved soil conditions and improved yields. The state of Minnesota has begun to allow domestic livestock grazing in Wildlife Management Areas, traditionally off-limits to agricultural use, after discovering that when done so judiciously, the practice can improve the quality of grasslands as wildlife habitat. The Minnesota DNR has implemented a Prairie Conservation Plan to focus on protecting grasslands. Using local technical teams working with farmers, landowners, conservation groups and local officials, the PCP has focused grassland conservation efforts on 10 different areas in western Minnesota. One such area is the Minnesota River Valley stretching from Lac Qui Parle to western Nicollet County. The Many Rivers Chapter of the Prairie Enthusiasts is hosting a tour in that area to introduce visitors to the beauty and diversity of the prairie environment. The free event will be held from 1-4 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 10, on a prairie remnant on a bluff overlooking the Minnesota River on the Gerald Peichel farm near Fort Ridgely State Park. From Mankato, the site can be reached by taking Highway 14 west from Mankato, then north on Highway 15, then west at Klossner on Nicollet County Rd for 16 miles. Turn at the U.S. flag.

Horse-loving rancher dreams big, loses all in gritty memoir For most of your life, you’ve been told to dream big. Reach for the stars, they’ve said. Go for it. Just do it. Carpe diem. That’s all good advice, especially when you don’t yet know what your deepest dream is. It’s even better
advice when, as in “The Horse Lover” by H. Alan Day (with Lynn Wiese Sneyd), your dream is a little wild. Alan Day did not need another ranch. He already owned a 198,000-acre spread that “straddled” Arizona and New Mexico and a 45,000-acre ranch
THE BOOKWORM SEZ
in Nebraska, but touring the 35,000-acre Arnold Ranch in South Dakota felt curiously like coming home. Day fell in love with the land and, without a solid plan, made an offer to purchase. No, he wasn’t sure what to do with the ranch – until a friend coincidentally presented an intriguing proposal: the Bureau of Land Management had been in charge of capturing wild mustangs for years, but there was a problem with unadoptable horses. Day’s friend likened the animals’ holding pens to a sort of prison that was expensive to run. A privately held sanctuary seemed to be a good solution for Day’s new ranch, taxpayers and horses alike. And so – after months of preparation and piles of official paperwork – 1,500 horses were delivered to the newly named Mustang Meadows Ranch. The first business at hand was to train the horses. Day, a cattleman at heart, knew that skittish animals could be taught to acclimate to humans, so he and his cowboys set about doing so. This helped calm the mustangs and facilitated moving them and caring for their health. Out of old, tiny corrals and in an atmosphere they were “born” to roam, once-scruffy horses grew fat and sleek on prairie grasses, and individual personalities began to emerge. The BLM was happy, and so was Day. But then, as often happens, politics got in the way. Local government officials tried to have Day arrested due to an accident. BLM officers directed him to do something unimaginable. They took his horses for reasons he thinks he figured out. And on April 13, 1993, everything fell apart… I have mixed feelings about this book, and here’s why: “The Horse Lover” is a gorgeous book. Beautiful, really, but it’s littered with wince-worthy memories that I really wish I’d never had to read. Author H. Alan Day (with Lynn Wiese Sneyd) is a true gentleman cowboy and an exceptional storyteller: from start to finish here, we’re treated to one anecdote after another of horses he’s loved and people he’s known. Over and over, I felt like I was leaning on a fence while reading, smelling horseflesh, and listening to nickers and prairie – all good signs of a tale that pulls you in and keeps you there. But then there are peeks at the reality of ranch life, years ago, and that’s hard stuff to read. It doesn’t completely overtake this memoir, but it crops up and bears mentioning. Keep that in mind and beware, and “The Horse Lover” could be a dream book. The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terri has been reading since she was 3 years old and never goes anywhere without a book. She lives in Wisconsin with three dogs and 10,000 books. ❖

When our children were old enough for bikes and training wheels, I remember needing to get a bike so I wouldn’t have to run alongside them when we were out and about. No one wanted to witness that. I looked around at garage sales and came across one that looked a little like the one Miss Gulch rode on “The Wizard of Oz.” It was an older blue model with large tires and the fenders covering them — only it was all without the music, Toto or flying monkeys. As I was visiting with the owner, she said to me, “I think you’ll really like this one — it has a nice big seat.” So the bike description did fit; the Wicked Witch of the West showed up after all. Fast forward a few years, and I’d purchased a brand new red 10-speed bike. It hung upside down from the ceiling in the garage for several years, feigning a bat’s existence, and made a lovely garage ornament. If nothing else it gave visitors the illusion of physical fitness that — on the farm — usually comes from chasing after livestock, baling hay, climbing fences and carrying hay bales and feed pails across the yard. When we went to fetch my bike, we saw that the front tire was slightly bent from hanging for so long. I understood that — I have parts that are that way, too.

USDA to help new veteran, minority farmers U.S. Department of Agriculture Deputy Secretary Krysta Harden announced the availability of over $9 million in outreach and technical assistance for minority farmers and ranchers and military veterans that are new to farming and ranching. The funding, provided through the Outreach and Assistance for Socially Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers and Veteran Farmers and Ranchers Program, also known as the 2501 Program, will enable community-based organizations and other partners to work directly with these groups to successfully acquire, own and operate farms and ranches and equitably participate in all USDA programs. “The future face of agriculture needs
to be varied in experience, background and knowledge to meet the demand of the 21st century,” said Deputy Secretary Harden. “The 2501 Program enables USDA to bring more farmers and ranchers into American agriculture by partnering with the institutions, land-grant universities and other organizations that work directly with these diverse communities. Through these critical partnerships, we will build a stronger agricultural future for our country and for the world.” Deputy Secretary Harden made this announcement at the White House during the Future of American Agriculture Champions of Change event celebrating the next generation of America’s farmers and ranchers.
Through the 2501 Program, support is distributed to entities that work with minority or veteran farmers and ranchers — 1890 Land Grant Institutions, 1994 Land Grant Institutions, American Indian Tribal community colleges and Alaska Native cooperative colleges, Hispanic-serving and other institutions of higher education, Tribal governments and organizations, or community-based organizations. The 2501 Program, administered by the USDA's Office of Advocacy and Outreach, has distributed over $57 million to 188 partners since 2010. The 2014 farm bill reauthorized the program and expanded targeted communities to include military veterans. Applications for 2501 Program funding will be accepted through August 25, and must be submitted through www.grants.gov. More information about the 2501 Program is available at: http://www.outreach.usda.gov/ grants/index.htm America’s farmers and ranchers continue to become more diverse. According to the 2012 Agricultural Census, minority and historically under-represented communities are part of the continued growth among new and
beginning farmers and ranchers. According to the census, 22 percent of all farmers were beginning farmers in 2012. That means 1 out of every 5 farmers operated a farm for less than 10 years. The funding announcement was made possible by the 2014 farm bill. The farm bill builds on historic economic gains in rural America over the past five years, while achieving meaningful reform and billions of dollars in savings for taxpayers. Since enactment, USDA has made significant progress to implement each provision of this critical legislation, including providing disaster relief to farmers and ranchers; strengthening risk management tools; expanding access to rural credit; funding critical research; establishing innovative public-private conservation partnerships; developing new markets for ruralmade products; and investing in infrastructure, housing and community facilities to help improve quality of life in rural America.

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Halloween may be three months away, but a spooky word is already creeping into more and more farmers’ conversations: Resistance. Resistance is the inherited ability of a plant to survive and reproduce following exposure to a dose Rob Hanks of herbicide that initially was lethal to the plant population. The action word here is “inherited.” In essence, the more you use a particular herbicide, the more likely resistant weeds will be a factor in your fields. “(According to) crop consultants that I’ve talked with, many farm- Jim Willers ers are increasing their sprayer capacity so that they can more timely spray,” said Mower County corn and soybean producer Rob Hanks. “My impression is that a goodly number of farmers are now genuinely concerned about this weed resistance issue.” Hanks’ actions confirm his Jeff Gunsolus words. For the first time in 15 years he used a pre-emergence chemical (Sonic) at the rate of four ounces per acre as a “precautionary measure” on his 300-plus acres of soybeans. With glyphosate (Roundup), his solitary weed weapon since about 2000, he said he has yet to see noticeable resistance in his soybean fields. “But based on advice from my crop consultant, we decided to be proactive this year, and that’s why the pre-emergence application,” said Hanks. “Yes, it cost me about $20 an acre but hopefully this preventative will eliminate the need for any follow-up spraying.” Common sense would indicate that when farmers spray and the weeds don’t die, putting more of the same product out there probably won’t help, said veteran corn/soybean farmer Jim Willers of Beaver Creek, Minn. That’s partly the reason why he and his brother made some changes this year. “Last year we had a challenge killing some weeds,” said Willers, who has grown soybeans in 15-inch rows for several years. “I don’t know if we sprayed late and weeds got woody or we were seeing some resistance problems.” This year they used Sure Start, preplant incorporated on their corn; a new product, Zidua, was used on soybean fields right after planting. In a June interview, Willers said that if he sees some weed breaks they’ll follow up with Callisto on their corn; glyphosate on their soybeans. He noted that keeping up with the various new products is a challenge and that’s why teamwork with local crop consultants, crop service providers and extension specialists is important. But he’s aware that getting new modes of action into the pipeline for farm usage is often a four- to five-year process, or longer. “Getting new products cleared through the U.S. Department of Agriculture quicker would be a help, but there’s little likelihood of that happening.”

Staggering weed management costs for soybean producers WEEDS, from pg. 11A strategies. According to a soybean checkoff-funded survey, only 13 percent of U.S. farmers use preemergence herbicides to prevent weed development. “The developing issue is the impact of weeds that are resistant to multiple herbicide sites of action,” said University of Minnesota weed specialist Jeff Gunsolus, “as it creates uncertainty as to which herbicide treatment will be successful in a field and limits herbicide choices over time. “Because the likelihood of finding and developing new herbicide SOAs (Sites of Action) within the next 5 to 10 years is remote, we have to learn to manage the weeds with the existing tools at our disposal and be more open to nonchemical strategies such as cultivation, preventing these weeds from going to seed, and crop rotation to reduce weeds in the weed seed bank.” According to the International Survey of Herbicide Resistant Weeds, 400 resistant weeds have been reported globally. Of these 400, the United States reported 143, more than any other country. The stakes are huge — weed management is costing U.S. soybean farmers an estimated $2 billion a year. Yet there continues to be uncertainty about the impact of weed resistance. A soybean checkofffunded survey shows 86 percent of U.S. soybean farmers think herbicide-resistant weeds have little to no effect on their yield or profitability. That same survey shows nearly a quarter of U.S. soybean farmer use only post-emergence herbicides when
weeds appear as opposed to a comprehensive plan that includes multiple weed control practices. Minnesota challenges According to Gunsolus, the primary weed species of concern in Minnesota are common waterhemp, common ragweed, giant ragweed and kochia. All of these species have biotypes that have developed resistance to ALS (SOA No. 2 herbicides like Pursuit) and glyphosate (SOA No. 9) herbicides. “Based on responses in other states there is a high probability that we will find within this weed spectrum some biotypes resistant to HPPD herbicides (SOA No. 27 corn herbicides like Callisto, Laudis, and Impact) as well as PPO herbicides (SOA No. 14 soybean herbicides like Flexstar),” Gunsolus said. “This has already occurred in Iowa and other Midwestern states.” Over time the resistant population dominates in the field’s weed seed bank. Yes, there are different levels of resistance: e.g. glyphosate-resistant weeds may be killed if eight times the label rate is used whereas ALS-resistant weeds may not be killed at even 50 times the label usage. “Regardless, at economically viable use rates, the herbicide as a weed management tool is lost,” said Gunsolus. He’s cautious about aerial applications for postemergence herbicides for a couple of reasons: 1) Not all post-emergence products are registered for aerial application, and 2) Good contact of the herbicide with the weeds is sometimes questionable. Doug Dohlman with CHS Service Center in Le Roy, Minn., said there are now several post-emergence prod-

ucts that can be teamed with Roundup. But he’s definitely pushing the pre-emergence strategies with his customers simply to nullify what appears to be growing weed resistance problem with area farmers. He speaks confidently of Sonic, the product used by Rob Hanks. “It’s a decent product but dependent upon timely rains after application which ideally is immediately after planting. So there is some ‘weather risk’ but if rain activated, we’ve seen great results,” said Dohlman. He estimates over 80 percent of soybean acreage in his area is still on a Roundup Ready program — and a similarly high incidence on corn — so glyphosate chemistry is not history. In fact, there is a growing cadre of herbicides to compliment glyphosate, either used “pre” as part of a sequential strategy, or “post” as part of a tank mix with glyphosate. “Yes, glyphosate has lost a bit of its ‘magic bullet’ mystique when it could kill most annual and perennial weeds, grass or broadleaf, without injuring the Roundup Ready crop,” said Gunsolus. “This product will still be a baseline, widely used herbicide but it will be integrated with other pre-emergence and tank mixed with post-emergence products.” Dohlman gets directly to the point on the Roundup issue. “Monsanto has forced it down everyone’s throat by virtue of controlling the genetics of the crops that feature the RR trait,” he said. “In essence farmers are forced to buy the traits that they don’t need. When Monsanto bought Holden Seed Company 10 years ago they knew they then had control of the trait genetics that would keep Roundup in the saddle. They captured the seed market because Holden’s had most of the parent stock. So even though patents on Roundup chemistry expired some years back, Monsanto is still in the driver’s seat because of control of the RR trait package.” Gunsolus said the resistance issue can be confusing, partly because even weather can confound the detection of resistance, especially low levels of resistance. “One could logically blame the poor control on weather which may have reduced the herbicide uptake,” he said. “Too hot, too cold, too much rain after application, etc.” Challenges continue, and this growing resistance issue needs to be addressed very directly, said Hanks. Both he and Willers support the Take Action initiative which is an industry-wide partnership to help farmers manage herbicide resistance. The soybean checkoff is a big player in this effort which includes special research projects at universities across the U.S. soybean belt. What should farmers being doing? • Proactively develop a weed-management strategy which incorporates a diverse set of controls. • Better understand the weeds on their farms. • Incorporate cultural practices such as crop rotation and tillage. • Rotate herbicides. • Become aware of the cost of poor weed control. • Use crop consultants, weed specialists, extension assistance and retailers. This works best with a team effort. More information is available at www.TakeActionOnWeeds.com and at www.extension.umn.edu/agriculture/crops. ❖

What makes the topic even more intriguing is what farmers are doing with this new elixir for the landscape. Troy Salzer, 43-year- Troy Salzer old cattleman at Barnum, Minn. — about 50 miles southwest of Duluth — might be a classic example. Interviewed while riding the bus on a July 8 Minnesota Cattlemen’s Summer tour, Salzer said this past June 2 he seeded 25 acres with what he calls a “seasonlong” cover crop that included turnips, sorghum, sweet clover, sunflowers, soybeans, corn and peas. Besides additional grassland paddocks at Sandyhills Ranch, Salzer said this will provide August grazing for his 200-cow herd including calves, then in late August he will interseed these same 25 acres with winter rye and more turnip seed. Next spring he intends to plant half of that pasture to corn, and seed the remaining acres to another cover crop mixture for continued season-long grazing. “It’s part of the process where we are trying to hit both warm and cool season portions of the year,” said Salzer. “Plus the addition of both legumes and grasses gives us the opportunity to see what kind of root structure profiles get developed within that soil structure.” Sandy soils predominate on the Salzer farm, but thanks to a variety of cover crops, he’s built the soil structure considerably.

Longtime organic farm naturally fits market By DAN OLSON Minnesota Public Radio News The soil on Loretta and Martin Jaus’ farm is premium stuff, brimming with organic matter and alive with billions of microbes. It calmly drank in a deluge this spring that flooded neighboring farmland. “It’s a different system,” Martin Jaus said of their 400-acre organic farm in Sibley County, Minn. “We view it as living entity. We try and feed the microbes which, in turn, feed our crops. They kind of glue the soil together so it’s in larger particles, it isn’t a fine power, so less susceptible to wind and water erosion.” The Jauses became organic farmers before grocery stores began to reflect widespread consumer interest. They got their first U.S. Department of Agriculture certification for some land in 1990; approval for the rest of the land and the dairy herd soon followed. Consumers caught up a decade later. U.S. organic food sales more than doubled over 10 years to an estimated $27 billion in 2012, the Nutrition Business Journal reports. Today the Jaus farm is a destination for people who want to learn more about organic farming techniques that create healthy soil to nourish crops and ward off pests without synthetic chemicals.

A recent visit reveals a farm that at first glance looks like many others. Nala, a big yellow farm dog, greets visitors. A couple of cats skulk about. At different times of the year there might be chickens, ducks and pigs. A deeper look reveals this farm’s a little different. Most of the trees and wetlands on neighboring farms have been bulldozed and drained. The Jaus land, though, is ringed with trees, dotted with a couple of wetlands for wildlife. Fifty dairy cows graze on organic pasture like it’s a salad bar. Many of their neighbors plant corn one year and soybeans the next, or sometimes plant corn followed by corn supplemented with lots of commercial chemicals for nutrients and pest control. The Jauses use a six-year crop rotation, a different crop every year to control weeds and increase soil fertility. The vast majority of Minnesota farmers still rely on chemicals for weed and pest control and to replace nutrients in the soil. Martin Jaus said their nearest organic farming neighbor is 13 miles away. The Jauses and many other organic farmers plant lines of trees or shelterbelts around their fields to See ORGANIC, pg. 17A

been free of chemical pesticides, herbicides and fertilizer for three years. For most farmers, the economic incentive to go organic isn’t powerful enough. Conventional farmers respond to the incentives offered by federal farm programs, Loretta Jaus said.
“Before it was crop subsidies,” she said. “Now it’s federal insurance that’s subsidized, and that drives these landscape changes.” The Jaus land was farmed conventionally for decades. Martin Jaus’ great grandfather homesteaded the land in 1877. Jaus said his father began moving away from chemical use after some cows aborted their calves and a veterinarian suggested a connection with Atrazine, a widely used herbicide. Although born and raised on the farm, Martin moved away to study wildlife biology and work in Illinois where he met Loretta, a native of Harvard, Illinois. Her wildlife biology degree from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point coincided with his interests. They moved back to the Jaus family farm in 1980. Farm life seems to agree with the Jauses. They’re lean and fit. But they wonder how many more years their 59-year-old joints can bend and crouch for the twice-a-day milking of 50 cows. Their son is interested in taking over. He’d be the fifth generation Jaus to oversee the farm and the complex set of biological forces at work on it. “Pullin’ those nutrients and bringing it down into the multiple layers of the soil,” Loretta Jaus said. “It’s a pretty sweet system when you let it work.” This article was distributed by the Associated Press. ❖

The Jauses hope a biological control will protect their soybean plants. They planted a companion crop to supply food for winged critters that will battle a soybeanhungry pest. “We planted buckwheat, which will be a food source for the trichina wasps, which will take care of a lot of the aphids,” Martin said. Dairy is the Jaus’ main source of farm income. A Wisconsin-based co-op, Organic Valley, buys the milk, processes it and sells it in grocery stores across the country. Organic milk commands a premium, at least 20 percent more than the price paid to conventional dairy farmers. “We’re not getting rich,” Martin Jaus said. Then his wife said, “But in ways we feel rich, I guess, from the farm, yeah.” Most of the money in agriculture still flows to conventional farming. While the organic movement has grown dramatically, it still only provides a fraction of the food Americans eat. Of the more than 74,000 farms in Minnesota, only about 700 are certified organic, according to the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. USDA grants organic certification when farms have

Livestock Angles Grain Outlook December corn Livestock markets stay volatile decline continues
Grain Angles Good growing conditions
Editor’s note: Tim Emslie, CHS Hedging market analyst, is sitting in this week for Phyllis Nystrom, the regular “Grain Outlook” columnist. ❖ The following market analysis is for the week ending Aug. 1. CORN — December corn declined for the sixth straight week, reaching another contract low on Friday with improved rainfall in the forecast for the next week. Abundant June rainfall and no extreme heat have driven the month-and-a-halflong weekly losing streak, but now some additional rainfall TIM EMSLIE would be welcomed. And that was CHS Hedging Inc. St. Paul just what extended forecasts promised — rain for the first full week of August. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s crop rating dropped by one point in the good/excellent category to 75 percent, but that was still the highest rating at this point in the year since 2004. Ratings may well slip a bit again following a mostly dry week, but should remain near a historically high level. Now that pollination has taken place in most areas, there is less scope for adverse weather to hurt the crop. On Aug. 12, the USDA will release its first objective yield survey for the year. The wire services will release their surveys of market analysts’ yield expectations about a week before the USDA report. We anticipate a yield of 169.5 bushels per acre. Across the Corn Belt, July rainfall weighted by acreage location was roughly similar to last year, both on the dry
The livestock markets are definitely not for the faint of heart. The past several weeks have been very volatile and full of rapid change in directions on an intraday basis. This type of trade is not really expected to change in the upcoming weeks. The cattle market continues to find strength from the competition by the packers in attempts to gain inventory each week. The tight supply of market-ready cattle has kept the market extremely strong resulting in new cash highs almost on a weekly basis. Also supporting the market is the strong beef cutout which is also making new all-time highs over JOE TEALE the past few weeks. Demand is Broker still weaker than a year ago; how- Great Plains Commodity ever, the lack of supply of cattle is Afton, Minn. more than offsetting the weak demand. This continues to result in forcing the higher prices paid for cattle. The USDA released two reports on Friday, July 25, which should have some longer-range implications for the cattle market. The first report was the Monthly Cattle on Feed report which indicated the following: on feed 98 percent; placements 94 percent; marketed 98 percent. The second report was the Semi Annual Cattle Inventory Report. The results are as follows: total cattle and calves 97 percent; calf crop 98 percent; total cows and heifers calved 98 percent. All of the numbers are in comparison to the previous year. Obviously these reports are interpreted as friendly to bullish for the cattle market in the months ahead. The caveat for the cattle market will eventually be the further decrease in the demand for beef due to
Start making plans now for year-end cash flow requirements: The latest USDA crop condition report shows a rating of good to excellent on 70-percent-plus of the corn and soybean crop nationally, and market prices are certainly reflecting this potentially large crop. While the upper Midwest struggled with delays in planting and probably has a slightly lower crop rating than other parts of the Corn Belt, we’re experiencing good growing conditions going into August. Most producers I’m speaking with are expecting an average to above-average crop. Given the unusual weather and markets we’ve experienced the Darel Ness past couple years, I believe it’s AgStar Assistant VP important to review year-end Financial Services cash flow needs early this year. Rochester, Minn. This has been a difficult marketing year for most and, regardless of how well your marketing plan has worked, we’re typically talking fewer dollars for our crop value this fall, whether sold or on inventory. That’s fewer dollars to cover expenses, payments and manage taxable income with 2015 prepays. Take some time to consider how much taxable income you pushed forward into 2014; this is a sizable number for many producers. Things to consider include: • Deferred grain sales; • Prevent plant payments that were deferred to 2014 (note: if a deferral was elected, you can find this dollar amount on your 2013 schedule F); • Many producers didn’t receive their 2013 multi-

now appears on track for about 2.5 percent for the full year. The July jobs report on Friday showed an increase of 209,000 jobs, less than the 230,000 expected, but still the sixth straight month above 200,000. Equity markets saw a big sell-off on Thursday that included the largest daily drop in the S&P 500 since April. One trigger was an increase in the quarterly Employment Cost Index that showed an increase of 0.7 percent quarter/quarter, which was the biggest gain in nearly 6 years. The thinking goes that if labor costs are rising, inflation and Fed tightening might be closer than anticipated. The Fed held its July meeting this week, concluding with another $10 billion scale down in its quantitative easing program. Equity markets stabilized after the jobs number on Friday presumably achieved the balance the Fed is expecting along its current policy path. The final significant economic indicator in the U.S. was the ISM manufacturing gauge for July that came in with a sizable increase at 57.1 from 55.3 last month. For the week, the S&P 500 was down 2.5 percent. This material has been prepared by a sales or trading employee or agent of CHS Hedging Inc. and should be considered a solicitation. ❖

Review crop insurance NESS, from pg. 18A peril crop insurance revenue loss payment until the 2014 tax year. Will you have enough crop sales and operating credit available to cover your cash flow needs when tax planning is considered? Don’t wait until December to figure this out. You may need to talk to your lender about an inventory loan to free up operating money. Some producers may even need to set up some new term credit to replenish working capital. This process takes time; don’t limit your year-end options by putting things off too long. Another thing to review right now is crop insurance. Don’t discount the value of your MPCI Revenue Policy just because we have a good-looking crop coming, especially on corn. The February spring price on corn was $4.62; currently the Dec. 14 contract is trading around $3.70. If the current prices hold through October, the price failure on the corn revenue policy alone would increase the bushel guarantee to actual production
history levels or higher on an 80 or 85 percent policy. Or simply stated, the price drop has used up the deductible so an average or slightly above average crop may still be eligible for a revenue loss payment. So please pay close attention when you receive your schedules of insurance from your agent. Review the acres and share for accuracy; it’s very difficult to get corrections made in the fall, especially if you are in a loss situation. Finally, for planning purposes, remember that MPCI premiums are due before the end of September this year. This is a month earlier than in the past and could have impact to cash flow, so it’s important to plan accordingly. AgStar Financial Services is a cooperative owned by client stockholders.

SOYBEANS — The August soybean contract entered delivery this week and managed to eke out a small gain of 2.75 cents for the week. Cash basis levels had a weak tone this week. Competition from additional availability of dried distillers grains domestically due to the Chinese import ban is taking its toll on soybean meal demand. Turning to new-crop, the November contract fell 25 cents on the week. Condition ratings were down 2 points in the good/excellent category to 91 percent good/excellent. Weekly export sales were strong at 187 tmt for old-crop and 1.27 mmt for new-crop. New-crop bookings are now the highest ever for this point in the year. Also notable were new-crop meal sales of 707 tmt. Argentina defaulted on its debt for the second time in 13 years, although under very unique circumstances. In its last restructuring, some bondholders did not settle with the country, and those outstanding claims are the issue this time around. The court with jurisdiction ruled that banks serving as transfer agents could not pass on interest payments that Argentina is willing and able to make on its reissued bonds because of a clause in the original bonds that says all bondholders must be paid equally. Direct negotiations between the holdouts and the Argentine government went nowhere, and the best possibility for immediate resolution seems to be a plan in the works by major investment banks to purchase the claims and settle with the country. Alternatively, the dispute could drag on in the courts, further eroding Argentina’s standing in international markets and economic outlook. The key for the soybean market in the short term is the effect on the black market rate for the peso.

EMSLIE, from pg. 18A side of average. But the driving force behind the expectation of a record yield is the cool temperatures the likes of which were last seen 2009 across the belt. Official monthly temperature data is not available yet, but preliminary results show 2014 was about 4.5 degrees below normal during July. Weekly export sales dipped a bit for old-crop to 174 thousand metric tons, but were above 1 mmt for the second week in a row for new-crop. Despite the fairly strong weekly sales number, there was a negative tone to the demand side outlook based on wet wheat harvest weather in Europe. The issue is that too much rain is turning the wheat from milling quality into feed wheat. Last year, the EU imported 14.5 million metric tons of corn, but with so much more feed wheat available, some estimate its import needs may be as low as 5 mmt. The weekly ethanol production rate fell 5 thousand barrels/day to 954 thousand. We anticipate an increase in corn use for ethanol estimate to 5,125 mb for the marketing year that ends Aug. 31. OUTLOOK: For the week, the September contract was down 10.5 cents, and the December contract was down 9.5 cents. With the market having just set a new contract low to close out the trading week, no bottom has been identified yet. The rate of descent has slowed, and some consolidation ahead of the USDA’s yield estimate is anticipated. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission report showed funds are net short a little over 20,000 contracts. At this time last year, the net fund short was approaching 200,000 contracts. Weather will still dictate the markets through harvest, but look for a first resistance level of $3.78 in the December contract where a small gap was left in mid-July.

Many cheese makers have already booked orders through August. Inventories are tight in many plants. Plants with committed buyers are sensitive to preserving inventory levels sufficient to meet already booked future commitments, factoring anticipated production capabilities. Some plants were able to find surplus milk to boost last week’s cheese production. Others used condensed skim and nonfat dry milk to improve vat yields and production sched-
ules. Seasonally declining milk production is limiting cheese manufacturing. Manufacturers of mozzarella are increasing production to fill building demand from school lunch buyers ordering pizza, college students returning to the pizza nutrition program and football viewers adding to the mix. With barrels being at nearly the lowest closing prices of July during recent days, manufacturers who use process cheese have been active in seeking extra loads. Western cheese production is steady to lower as milk receipts continue to move seasonally lower. Hot weather is affecting milk volumes. Some plants are running near capacity as milk is being moved to keep production up. Retail demand is good as wholesale prices continue to move up and down within a rather narrow range. Process cheese demand is picking up as summer grilling is ongoing. Some increased demand from foodservice accounts for fall orders is also noted. Export demand has slowed and manufacturers are busy filling contract and spot orders for domestic needs. Cheese stocks are in balance for current orders.

Butter production rates remain mostly steady cent of total costs, compared to 54.5 percent the month before. Read the complete report at: http://www.ers.usda.gov /data-products/milk-cost-ofproduction-estimates.aspx. Consumer dairy product prices will rise 3 to 4 percent in 2014, according to forecasts by USDA’s Economic Research Service. That’s slightly above the anticipated increase for all foods consumed at or away from home. The projections were unchanged from last month’s report. The Consumer Price Index for food measures the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a representative market basket of consumer goods and services. June 2014 retail dairy product prices declined 0.6 percent from May, but were up 3.9 percent from June 2013. The report predicts that 2015 retail dairy product prices will rise 2.5-3.5 percent, compared to an expected all-food price increase of 2-3 percent. Dairy product prices rose just 0.1 percent in 2013, compared to a 2.1 percent rise in 2012. The ERS Producer Price Index shows June 2014 farm-level milk prices

The full-year 2014 PPI projection of farm-level milk prices looks for a 5-6 percent rise, following an 8.1 percent increase in 2013. Wholesale dairy prices are projected to increase 4 to 5 percent in 2014, after increasing 3.6 percent in 2013. The 2015 PPI projection indicates farm-level prices will rise 0.0 to 1.0 percent, while wholesale PPI prices will increase 1 to 2 percent. ■ The preliminary July milk feed price ratio was up from the revised June level, according to the Agriculture Department’s latest Ag Prices report issued Thursday.

Renewable biofuels have big day in Willmar, Minn. By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Willmar, Minn., was the epicenter of an E-85 rally day July 10. Thanks to promotional efforts on behalf of the Minnesota Corn Growers Association and the American Lung Association, E-85 was selling for an 85-cents-a-gallon discount at Walt’s in Willmar. Walt’s was one of the earliest gas stations in Minnesota to get equipped with an E-85 pump. According to Richard Syverson, Kandiyohi County corn grower and Minnesota Corn Growers Association Regional Representative, the three-hour, 85-cent discount at Walt’s was a great success. “In those three hours, we pumped 1,425 gallons of E-85. Flex fuel vehicles were lined up throughout the entire three-hour period,” said Syverson, who manned the E-85 pump and also told customers

New USDA program receives nearly 600 initial proposals Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said that U.S. Department of Agriculture's new Regional Conservation Partnership Program, which brings together businesses, tribes, communities and other non-government partners to invest in conservation efforts, has drawn an overwhelming response from partners across the nation. Nearly 5,000 organizations partnered together to submit nearly 600 pre-pro-
posals by the July deadline. "This program is an entirely new approach to conservation," Secretary Vilsack said. "By establishing new public-private partnerships, we can have an impact that's well beyond what the Federal government could accomplish on its own. And we put our partners in the driver's seat, allowing them to find creative solutions to the conservation issues in their local areas.

The RCPP is a way for private companies, tribes, local communities and non-government partners to collaborate and invest in cleaner water and air, healthier soil and enhanced wildlife habitat. It will allow USDA to partner with third parties or work directly with producers in watersheds and other critical conservation areas to leverage private sector funding to maximize conservation investments. USDA has invested more than $12.5 billion in farm bill conservation programs since 2009. RCCP is also one way that the Obama Administration's National Drought Resilience Partnership can support state, local and tribal efforts to plan and manage for long term drought resilience.

Cover story: Carousel saved from auction block “We read the story,” Boehm said. “And then we read it again, and read it again, and my wife said, ‘Somebody ought to do something.’” They started making phone calls to anyone they could think of connected with the State Fair, or carousels, even the owner. The owner sounded irritated, having fielded numerous calls from folks berating him for doing such
a dastardly deed, taking the carousel away from Minnesota. Boehm told him, “Look, I’m a businessman like you. You’ve got a carousel you want to sell. All I want to find out is if there is some way I can buy it intact rather than you selling it piecemeal at auction. And he said, ‘As See CAROUSEL, pg. 24A Gates Open at 7 a.m.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”
By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent Riding a carousel is not usually classified as a thrill ride on the midway. But the ride that Peter Boehm and Nancy Peterson took to save “our” State Fair carousel was a thrill by any definition. That beloved and historic carousel — it is 100 years old this year — is now permanently housed in a beautiful pavilion at Como Regional Park in St. Paul, just one Richard Siemers mile east of the Fair- This remarkable carousel found a permanent home at grounds where it sat Como Regional Park in St. Paul. for 75 years. 75th year at the fair, the fair was still The adventure for Boehm and Peter- only 12 days long.

A last-minute grass-roots effort saved a piece of history CAROUSEL, from pg. 23A a matter of fact there is. All you need is a starting bid of a million dollars and the auction house will sell it as a piece rather than the individual horses.’” The auction was four weeks to the day from when Boehm got this piece of information. The next day they gathered with a few folks and developed a business plan. They came up with the name Our Fair Carousel, Inc. and fundraising plans, and started getting the word out. Thousands of people donated, Boehm said. One donation stood out — a $100 check from Gerard Cafesjian. It was much larger than most contributions coming in, and the donor’s check had a West Publishing House address. After investigation, Boehm learned that Cafesjian was Executive Vice President in charge of sales at West, and a member of two carousel organizations. He called Cafesjian and asked him to serve on OFC’s Board of Directors. He agreed.
Richard Siemers
Gerard Cafesjian, a carousel enthusiast, bought the naming rights to the carousel as well as helped finance the carousel’s new pavilion in Como Regional Park. Two weeks went by. The five, 10, and 25-dollar donations kept flowing in. They were a week away from the auction and nowhere near their goal. Boehm received a call from Cafesjian. Cafesjian told him, “You know, I’ve always wanted a carousel of my own. I’ve even thought of building one. What would it take to put my name on yours?”
Boehm consulted his wife, who had experience fundraising. She said naming rights usually went with a donation covering half of the cost. He turned back to the phone. “How does $600,000 sound?” Boehm asked. “Done!” said Cafesjian. Still short of their goal, they entered into an agreement with the City of St. Paul who secured a loan for the remainder. The day before the auction, Boehm and Peterson flew to New York to negotiate with the owners. The morning of the auction, they reached an agreement with the owner’s lawyer, but there was still a stumbling block — the auction house. Everything OFC had accomplished, including their million-dollar bid, was in the news. They were aware that there was a bidder who was willing to outbid them to get one horse he coveted, after which he would put the rest back on the auction. Their only hope was to get the carousel taken off of the auction. “The owners of the carousel had consigned it to the auction house,” Boehm said. “The auction house stood to make a percentage on the sale. The higher the price, the more they would make. They weren’t ready to withdraw it from the auction and sign their rights away. We dickered back and forth and finally it was agreed that they wanted a certain amount of extra money. They came down a bit, the owners put up See CAROUSEL, pg. 25A

Nancy Peterson donated their expenses and most of four weeks in 1988 to keep the carousel in Minnesota, and have put in countless hours since. Twenty-six years later, Boehm still serves as president of Our Fair Carousel, Inc. He’s not looking for everyone’s thanks, though Minnesotans owe him a lot. These days he gets his satisfaction sitting on a bench, watching the smiles of young and old as they ride round and round on “our” carousel.

The deal was signed literally in the seconds before the auction began.” When the auction house announced that the Minnesota carousel horses had been withdrawn from the auction and would be returned to Minnesota, Boehm said there were some boos, but most people applauded. In 1989 volunteers reassembled the carousel at the State Fair for its last appearance there. “Typical ridership was around 60,000 in a year,” Boehm said. “We had 107,000 riders.” Richard Siemers After volunteers restored the It only costs $2 to ride the Cafesjian Carousel, housed in this grand pavilion. machinery as well as who operate the the horses, the carousel are volunteers.

While agriculture is still the primary focus, the scope of activities has broadened to include large-scale entertainment features, technological and industrial exhibits, and scores of education and government institutions. Since its inception, the fair has been held every year with only five exceptions: in 1861 and 1862 due to the Civil War and Dakota Indian Conflict; in 1893 because of scheduling conflicts with the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago; in 1945 due to war-time fuel shortages; and in 1946 due to a polio epidemic.

New Highlights for 2014: An array of new exhibits highlight innovations in green technology, the latest in environmentally focused living, and easy, everyday conservation howto’s. The world’s largest wad of paper: Every year Minnesotans throw away a billion pounds of paper that could be recycled. Check out a very visual 10-foot wad of paper and love seat made of paper for your fair photo opportunities. Minnesota’s changing climate exhibit: Climate Change is impacting Minnesotans now and in many ways knowing what to expect can help us prepare for changes and improve the resiliency of our communities. The exhibit also explains how to reduce green-
house gas emissions at work, school and on the road. Nature adventure play yard: Research is showing us that Nature Deficit Disorder in children has negative impacts on health and our environment. Visit this play area to get ideas for your own yard that unplug your child (and you). Our ready-to-play nature area is designed by Fireflies Play Environments, Inc. and Aloha Landscaping. Come play with us. High-performance construction methods for new homes: Are you building or buying a new home? Check out this huge new exhibit about new construction that outlines four different approaches to highperformance building. These approaches create homes that are more comfortable; have lower maintenance and insurance costs; will last for generations; use less energy, water and construction materials; have better indoor air quality; and can have zero annual energy costs. You’ll also see beautiful, eco-friendly finishes and many Minnesota-made products. Our new construction home is packed with experts and led by the University of Minnesota’s Center for Sustainable Building Research, the University of Minnesota’s Cold Climate Housing Program, Minnesota Department of Commerce and many partners. Pollinators in the garden: While flying from flower to flower, pollinators help 70 percent of the plants around the world reproduce. Without pollinators, many fruits and vegetables would not be available. Field Outdoor Spaces has designed a garden space in front of the Eco Experience with straw bale gardens, urban gardens and beehives (no real bees in the hive). Relax and be inspired to create your own garden to support pollinators, no matter where you live. Healthy fish choices: Learn about how mercury gets into fish, what the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is doing to reduce mercury emissions, and how to make healthy fish choices for your family. Also learn about different species of fish and how they compare in mercury levels. Kids can put on a puppet show and tell their favorite fish stories. Open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. Located in the Progress Center on Randall Avenue. ❖

Little Farm Hands allows kids to experience agriculture firsthand “Little Farm Hands at the Fair” is an agricultural education exhibit for kids. Each year over 40,000 Little Farm Hands and their families don their work aprons and fire up their imaginations to help with farm chores, collect goods to sell at the farmers market, and then spend their “earnings” on real products made from the farm at the grocery store. This mock farm consists of a series of five miniature barns, a grain bin, a tractor yard, six garden plots, an apple orchard and a farmers market connected by a self-guided pathway that directs families from a starting point to the last step in the process at the grocery store.
• Lake Henry Impl. – Pierz, MN • Midway Farm Equip. – Mt. Lake, MN • Judson Impl. – Lake Crystal, MN
Each building provides hands-on tasks related to planting crops and the tending of animals. For example, at the chicken coop, the farm hands feed the faux chickens the grain they “harvested” and then collect the eggs. At the dairy barn, children milk a fiberglass cow and collect milk cartons, and at the tractor shed, they drive pedal tractors with wagons to haul the hay for the animals. After the children have gone through each of the miniature barns and collected their products, they “sell” them at the farmers market for “cash” to be used at the retail grocery store where they have the opportunity to “buy” finished products like apples, milk, cereal, soy nuts, cans of fruit and vegetables, etc. ❖

Minnesota State Fair’s Commemorative Art The Minnesota State Fair’s 2014 Commemorative Art was unveiled by artist Emily L. Taylor of St. Paul. Surrounded by State Fair fans, art enthusiasts and media, she presented her original watercolor piece to the public for the first time at the J.V. Bailey House on the State Fairgrounds. The artwork will be on display at the Fine Arts Center during the fair’s 12-day run. With a quirky perspective and playful representations of Minnesota’s people, crops, animals and landmarks, she illustrates the stories of those who gather for the annual State Fair. Living just blocks away from the fairgrounds, Taylor has developed a strong sense of tradition surrounding the Great Minnesota Get-Together, which helped her capture the essence of the fair’s place in our state’s culture. “This has been an amazing experience,” Taylor said. “Having the opportunity to work with such a great group of people in an effort to help preserve the State Fair we know and love is a privilege.

t may have a small footprint, a mere six feet by six feet, but the Popcorn Stand that sits on the corner of Prentice Street and Seventh Avenue in downtown Granite Falls is a city landmark and a thriving enterprise. Currently owned and operated by the Granite Falls Kiwanis organization, it is open every evening from May 1 to Labor Day from 7-9:30 p.m. And it is busy. Spencer Kvam was popping corn on this Tuesday evening, and almost a dozen people came to buy popcorn and 1919 Root Beer within the first 15 minutes after opening. Some were families on their way to the park. “A lot of people go out for a walk in the evening and stop,” Kvam said. There is such loyalty among some customers that they purchase a Saver Card for $20, good for $22 in food. The cards are kept at the stand and folks don’t have to carry cash to buy their treats. Popcorn is the mainstay, of course, but when the weather is warm the root beer, water, and frozen Snickers bars become popular. Speaking of loyalty, Kvam mentioned one woman who grew up in the community and moved to St. Cloud. Every year on May 1 she returns to Granite Falls for the season opener of the Popcorn Stand, a night when business is bustling. Not long ago a couple came to have wedding pictures taken by the stand. According to the stand’s history, Fred Ernston, Jr. erected the first Popcorn Stand in downtown Granite Falls in 1922. A few years later his uncles, Fred and Jule Ernston, erected a permanent stand one block north at the current location. The Ernstons replaced it with the present-day Popcorn Stand in 1969. Two generations of the Ernston family operated the stand for 60 years. Beginning in 1982, ownership passed through a number of couples until the last of them, David and Jill Kafka, donated the Popcorn Stand to Granite Falls Kiwanis in 2002. A Kiwanis volunteer opens the stand every evening during its summer season, and on weekend evenings during September. The money raised supports programs for children and youth. Strolling around while eating popcorn is a pleasant way to spend a summer evening in Granite Falls. There also is a bench and picnic table by the stand for relaxing. And if you can’t eat all of the popcorn, not far away is the Minnesota River where you can feed the rest to the ducks. ❖

request is needed due to the condition of the crops. “Our wheat, we’d usually start (harvesting) in a week to 10 days; this year it will be two to three weeks until harvest.” The corn is behind as well — “It’s just starting to tassel now.” Their sugar beets are all over the board. “The first beets (planted) looking real good,” Wilts said, but the last beets planted, not so much. He attributes this to the not having a good root system due to all that rain that fell shortly after they were planted. He estimates that his sugar beets as whole are “behind two to three weeks.” Wilts is staying busy by “doing stuff around the yard” as well as getting ready for the wheat harvest. He has the combine in the shop, getting it prepped for harvest. Wilts will be spraying beans and beets with Roundup next week, both for the second time. It’s not all work on the farm for Wilts. He spent some time at the Grant County fair in Herman last weekend, as well as cheering on his granddaughters as they played in softball tournaments in the Twin Cities. He’s also getting his place ready for a family reunion the first weekend of August. With 40 to 50 people expected, Wilts is crossing his fingers for nice weather. The crops may be behind, but they look good, he said. Good looking crops, good moisture and adequate heat may mean a happy fall for Wilts.
The Hoffmans New Ulm, Minn. The rains that soaked the New Ulm area for much of June feel like a distant memory for Don Hoffman’s crops. When The Land spoke with Hoffman
on July 23, he admitted that “we could really use a dose of rain.” There were chances of precipitation forecast for Friday and Saturday, and he hoped they panned out. Without Don Hoffman additional moisture, “it would be critical in about a week.” He noted that the farm had only received four-tenths of an inch during the entire month of July. Hoffman cut hay on July 23, and it was “not too bad for a third crop.” He planned on making baleage out of the hay on July 24. As for the other crops, “if it’s on the light ground it’s starting to hurt.” Hoffman hasn’t just been staring at the sky, watching it not rain. He’s been doing mechanical work on a tractor as well as “lots of odd jobs around the yard.” The apartment he’s setting up for the employees to use during inclement weather is taking longer than he’d hoped to complete. Hoffman said his goal is to “at least get the outside stuff done before we move on to the mattresses in the barn.” On the dairy side, lots of calves born in July have been keeping things busy. “There were seven new babies on Saturday morning,” Hoffman said. “It seems to come in streaks.” His son Scott and wife Kendra take any heifer calves that are a day and a half and older and raise them. They took 32 calves in July alone. Hoffman and his crew will be heading to Farmfest next week. “We ask anybody on our outside crew if they want to go.” The employees get paid to go. Hoffman definitely enjoys Farmfest
The Hagens Lake Mills, Iowa “From feast to famine.” That is how Jim Hagen sums up the rainfall situation on his farm this growing Jim Hagen season. The Land spoke with Hagen on July 24 as he explained that precipitation totals were “three inches behind for the month.” He’s of the opinion that a bit more rain “wouldn’t hurt anything.” Hagen said his corn is pretty much all tasseled now, and the beans are flowering and closing in the rows. The crop has “caught up quite a bit,” he said, but they’re “waiting to see if we see any aphids.” The next 10 days of the growing cycle is when the aphids usually make their appearance on the plant. Some believe that last winter’s extremely cold temperatures may have killed off many aphids, keeping infestation numbers down this year. Hagen is all caught up on spraying, finishing up beans four days prior. He plans on having an aerial sprayer handle fungicide and insecticide if aphids do appear. Hagen is working on a tiling project: “Closing up a ditch and putting in a new main instead.” Tiling is essential in his “prairie pothole” area. “If there’s no tile, there’s no farming it,” he said. With no run-off, tiling may be needed for a successful crop. Hagen showed some school pride at his 35th class reunion the weekend of July 12-13 in Lake Mills, Iowa. With a great turnout for the event, he said a good time was had by all. Meanwhile, he has been busy at home putting a deck and patio on the house. He had some help on the big project but did indeed do a lot of it himself. The Iowa bicycling craze known as RAGBRAI passed just 20 miles south of Hagen’s farm this week. “Twenty thousand people on bike come through,” he said. One of those riders was Hagen’s own brother, Jeff. As for the status of the crops, Hagen simply said, “Keep the hail away and it will be fine.” He said the lack of rain isn’t too concerning. “We’ll get a crop even if it doesn’t rain,” he said. ❖
“Where Farm and Family Meet”
“We’re behind by quite a bit.” That sums up the growing season according to Dennis Wilts. The Land spoke with Wilts Dennis Wilts on July 23 as he gave an update on field conditions at his farm. They received a quarter inch of rain of July 21, “so we’re sitting real good moisture-wise,” he said, although a bit more rain “wouldn’t hurt anything.” Wilts is quick to point out that “we don’t want a frost until October.” This

Jared Thronson knows he dodged the proverbial bullet on July 21 when a huge line of storms struck northwestern Minnesota. A tornado was Jared Thronson reported south of Crookston and straight-line winds did damage around the area. The Land spoke with Thronson on July 24 as he reported his farm received sixth-tenths of an inch of rain during that storm but no damage to the crops. That’s been all the moisture that has fallen in weeks — “We’re ready for some rain again.” The corn is “looking really good,” said Thronson. “A lot of the corn around is starting to tassel; mine should be there in a few days.” The beans are doing well and while they haven’t closed the rows yet “they’re getting bushy.” Meanwhile, the winter wheat is starting to ripen. Thronson planned on spraying with Roundup on July 25. He believes the wheat is a week to 10 days away from harvesting. “I’m still waiting for a mechanic to walk around the combine with me,” he said. Other than that, he’s ready to tackle his first winter wheat harvest. He is also working on “getting some tillage equipment ready for after harvest,” along with the dreaded task of “trying to keep up with mowing the lawn.” Thronson’s schedule is full as he’s helping with tree removal due to the storms in Crookston. He said he’ll be busy “all day today and a few more days after that.” In general Thronson feels that his crops are “still doing pretty good,” and is pretty happy with the way everything looks. If gentle rains can fall in the fields, and the severe storms can continue to stay away, Thronson will be one happy farmer.
THE LAND, AUGUST 8, 2014
— “It’s usually an entertaining day.” In general he believes that their crops aren’t great but they’re good — “they have potential.” He emphasized, however, that one thing they don’t need is an early frost. One can only hope that Mother Nature is listening.

Auctioneers note: Most of Gordy & Doris’ newer equip. was used on 300 acres so that’s why low-houred. All equipment was kept inside and best of care. Day pictures were taken equipment was in buildings so pics might not be best. Will be the biggest sale in area this year, so be sure to attend! Won’t find a better line of equipment. – Dave
