Change is coming; you can feel autumn on the wind
OPINION
<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>
liner by Mark Twain about dogs and their masters comes to mind. “Heaven goes by favor,” Twain once cracked, “if it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.” The wind builds and clouds begin to thicken in the southeast. More rain is coming. This summer’s rain has made Illinois look like Ireland. The only thing greener than the crabgrass in my backyard is the alfalfa in my neighbor’s field. He has taken four cuttings already and a fifth — a rarity in this part of Illinois — is all but certain. And, of course, given the good planting season and a near-perfect growing season, the corn and soybean crops for miles and miles around me will be huge. Both are now turning the corner into harvest and they, like my walnut trees, are showing September’s colors, not just June’s. Only luck can bring a fall as mild and beautiful as this summer, and winter is too far off to even care about. But change is coming; you can feel it on the wind.

Commentary: Is one size of farm better than another? There’s a kind of farm that has caught the imagination of the food-conscious among us. It’s relatively small, and you know the farmer who runs it. It’s diverse, growing different kinds of crops and often incorporating livestock. It may or may not be organic, but it incorporates practices — crop rotation, minimal pesticide use, composting — that are planetfriendly. Customers are local restaurants, local markets and us: shoppers who buy into a farm share or visit the farmers market. There’s a lot to like about that kind of farm, and advocates believe it’s the pattern for what our agriculture ought to look like. The vision of small, diversified farms feeding the world, one community at a time, is a popular one. But is it a viable one? I talked with a passel of people who either study (agricultural economist) or live (farmer) this issue, and there were a few ideas that generated enough consensus that I’m willing to call them facts. 1. Small, diversified farms are less efficient than large ones. Which means that food grown on them is more expensive. Marc Bellemare, an assistant professor in the University of Minnesota’s department of applied economics, calls farmers market produce “luxury goods,” and Tim Griffin, director of the Agriculture, Food and Environment program at Tufts University’s Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, explains the dynamic simply: economy of scale. “As the farms get larger, it’s easier to invest in labor-saving machinery, technology and specialized management, and production cost per unit goes down,” he says. It’s Econ 101. Even John Ikerd, professor emeritus of agriculture and applied economics at the University of
Missouri and an outspoken advocate of 1992 to 2007, from $404 million to $1.2 billion, they the idea that small organic farms ought leveled off afterward, growing to only $1.3 billion to feed the world — an idea Bellemare from 2007 to 2012 — despite a large increase in the calls “wishful thinking” — acknowledges that we’d number of farmers markets during that time, from need many more farmers to make that happen, and 4,685 in 2008 (there’s no 2007 data) to 7,864 in 2012. that food would be more expensive. How much more That’s 0.3 percent of total agricultural sales. Expand expensive is tough to estimate. Advocates of small- “local” to include sales that go through channels to and-local tend to say not much local restaurants and markets, and (Ikerd guesses 6 to 8 percent), and the figure is larger: $4.8 billion in skeptics tend to say quite a bit.

That doesn’t mean that all large farms pollute, or that no small farm does, but when you have tens of thousands of acres of a two- or three-crop rotation, with chemical fertilizers and pesticides as standard operating procedure, there are bound to be problems. (There are also animal welfare issues, but I’m leaving that important topic for another day and focusing on crops.) 6. Large industrial farms grow primarily corn and soy, which consumers buy as meat and processed foods. And there’s a strong argument that those foods are making us fat and sick. But that’s not the farmers’ fault. They grow what the market demands. If we want to fix that, and I think we should, we’d be better off talking to the government, which determines subsidies; food manufacturers, who turn crops into what we actually eat; and consumers, who vote with their wallets. Those are the major points, and although obviously each is complicated, in aggregate, they boil down to this: Small farms are inefficient but are more likely to grow healthful foods and might be more environmentally friendly, while large farms are sometimes environmentally unfriendly but raise large amounts of food efficiently and affordably. The idea that we should replace the large, polluting farms with the small, diversified farms ignores what might be the best solution: Get the large farms to stop polluting. There are some hopeful signs that it’s already hap-

Commentary: Both small, large farms have benefits COMMENTARY, from pg. 6A pening. Cover cropping and no-till farming, which help improve soil health and reduce runoff, are on the rise. Recent droughts have underscored the importance of building up organic matter, which
retains water, in soil. The kind of farm that doesn’t get talked about, and that may combine the best of small and large, is what economists call “the ag of the middle.” One of those farms, on 2,500 acres
in southern Minnesota, has been run by Matt Eischen’s family for generations. Eischen rotates sweet corn and peas, which are contracted to become Birds Eye frozen vegetables, with field corn and soy. Growing peas, which go in early and mature in 60 days, sometimes allows him to double-crop his land. He samples 1.5acre parcels and adds only the fertilizer that each parcel needs to support the crop he’s intending to grow there. He practices no-till, and he plants grass strips in low-lying areas, which act as a filter for any rainwater running off the fields. In the fall, he puts cattle out in the fields to eat the cornstalks, and he uses animal manure and crop residue to build organic matter in his soil. No, it’s not like the farmer growing 10 acres of vegetables just outside town, but neither is it the stuff of Chipotle commercials. As a small farmer, I see both sides of small. It’s immensely gratifying for my husband, Kevin, and me to bring people out to see our oysters, to show them the different growth stages, to describe how we bring them from pinheads to market size. Our visitors tell us that tasting an oyster right on the farm is a compelling, memorable experience. But our size means that we do many jobs in a way that is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Take tumbling, which we do to remove barnacles. Bigger operations have stainless-steel tumblers that can cost thousands of dollars. We use a ’70s-era cement mixer Kevin found on Craigslist. And, like many small farmers, we drive a truck that’s well past the first blush of youth, and an 80-mile round trip in a truck that gets 14 miles to the gallon, all to drop off 2,000 oysters at our wholesaler ... well, you do the math. Small and large both have benefits. Saying we need both isn’t some kind of namby-pamby, can’t-weall-get-along compromise. It’s the optimal system, with each kind filling a different demand. What if advocates on each side focused on getting their own house in order? If you’re in the small camp, work on efficiency. Perhaps you can reconsider organic’s natural/synthetic line in the sand, which increases costs without benefiting either customer or environment. Down the line, think about incorporating genetically modified crop varieties that are disease- or drought-resistant. Find ways to cut back on waste. And those in the large, why not make some of the basic organic-style practices, like cover cropping and no-till, standard? Consider a target level of organic matter in the soil, to cut back on water use. How about strengthening the conservation practices required for farms to receive federal dollars, even linking them to results like runoff reductions or increased organic matter? Ultimately, we all vote with our wallets, every day. The best way to get an environmentally sound system that grows healthful food is to buy healthful food from environmentally sound farms. And it doesn’t have to be farm stand kale. It could be frozen peas. This commentary was submitted by Tamar Haspel, a Cape Cod, Mass., oyster farmer and science and food writer.

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer The Youth Media Trip program, now in its third year as a Minnesota State Fair event, has become a growing attraction with 4-H’ers across the state, according to Anita Harris, University of Minnesota Extension educator and manager of the media experience program. “This year 24 4-H’ers participated. Our goal is to have at least one participant per county,” said Harris, explaining that the State 4-H Leadership Team wanted to provide other opportunities for youth beyond exhibiting at the State Fair livestock show. Participants were briefed on the “5-W” fundamentals of journalism when developing a story: Who, What, Where, When and Why. They also learned about the importance of photography, developing a story’s lead, how to conduct an interview, and making the story relevant to the reader. Each participant was writing a special story for their hometown newspaper and providing State Fair photos of their journalism adven- Anita Harris tures. A big chore? “Well sort of, but creating a story is fun and can be a very rewarding challenge too,” said Emily Hackbarth, 15, from Silver Lake and a Wright County 4-H’er. Her story selection was education Emily Hackbarth and human interest. “I will be interviewing 4-H’ers from my county. I’m looking forward to the opportunity,” said Hackbarth. She’s already a 10-year 4-H veteran with music education and communications in her collegiate future. She plans to attend Ridgewater Community College in Hutchinson before earning a bachelor’s degree. These enterprising young journalists are not graded on their writing skills. Instead, three experienced media presenters meet with the 24 youth the first day of the State Fair. They discuss the upcoming media trip each is about to embark on. James Symanski, a 16-year-old from Coon Rapids, completed a few interviews prior to his visit with The Land and was about to do more at the State Fair rabbit show. His first day interviews were with coordinators of the livestock encampment for youth livestock exhibitors. He also planned to interview people who feed the 4-H and FFA members, as well as some of the 4-H participants in the livestock show. (Editor’s note: An excerpt from Symanski’s finished story, published in the Union Herald, appears on the following page.) Symanski exhibited rabbits at the 2013 State Fair so he is familiar with the hectic schedule of the youth show. Somewhat undecided about his education future, he already likes the idea of being a news reporter. Media and even becoming a meteorologist are of interest. See YOUTH MEDIA, pg. 10A

James Symanski’s Minnesota State Fair story The following is an excerpt from James Symanski’s story, about his brother Michael, published in the Union Herald, a Blaine-Coon Rapids, Minn., weekly newspaper. Symanski participated in the 4-H Youth Media Trip at this year’s Minnesota State Fair. Anoka County youth compete James Symanski at State Fair livestock show The day started with a lightning storm at approximately 5:55 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 21, 2014, the first real day of the state fair. Michael Symanski dragged himself out of bed, got dressed and went to go attend to his chickens, housed in the poultry barn. At 6:15 am, he started off from the 4-H building and into the rain. All the birds in the barn were making such a ruckus that it was hard to hear anything over them. A quick cleanup of his chicken’s cage and Michael was already heading back to the 4-H building where he relished eating a delicious meal prepared by Dede Hard and her crew in the spacious cafeteria filled with many other formerly famished 4-H’ers. Then Michael went back to the barns to start preparing for the day that would turn out to be beautiful. Through lightning storms and humidity, beating sun and heat, the 4-H state fair livestock encampment never stopped. The encampment ran from
Aug. 19-24 at The Minnesota State Fair. There were 2,862 4-H’ers who spent four nights in the fairgrounds participating in a multitude of shows and competitions, learning and experiencing from events like the Dairy Showcase to the poultry show. Youth compete at their county level in order to win a trip to the state fair, where the stakes are higher and the contenders tougher. All types of livestock are shown at the fair during the encampment; there are dairy cows that produce milk, and beef cattle that are raised so that you can have hamburgers for dinner. Swine and sheep are plentiful in all their different varieties and types. Goats, which also come in dairy and meat varieties, allowed eight youth to participate at the state level, from Anoka County. In total, Anoka County was represented by 26 youth from all over the Anoka County area, ten of whom participated in either the poultry or rabbit show. The poultry show was the first show of the entire fair, where many different birds were presented. Ducks, turkeys, and geese were the larger fowl in the show. There were also more uncommon poultry like doves that seemed like they came straight from a fairytale and Guineas which are about the size of a chicken, have a horn on their head, and make a noise much like a squeaky toy with a sore throat. An endless number of different types of chickens, from flashy show breeds with crowns of feathers on their

heads to birds bred and raised for eggs or meat, were the most common type of poultry in the barn. Michael, a 14-year-old 4-H’er from Coon Rapids, won his trip with his brown egg laying set of Black Stars. A brown egg laying set is two hens that ideally are in the peak of their production and lay brown eggs. He won a blue ribbon with his chickens at the State Fair and received a callback for showmanship. “Which I wasn’t expecting,” Michael said after the show. Showmanship is when youth are judged on their knowledge of their animal. He didn’t get to go to the round that would determine who would be the champion and reserve champion, but he commented later that he got “a blue ribbon for my chickens that I am very grateful for because I was scared to get a red.” To prepare for the big show, Michael had to wash his chickens to ensure that they were nice and clean. He also had to administer Vaseline to the wattles and combs of his birds so that they would be in healthy condition for the show. The wattles are the red fleshy protuberances on a chicken’s neck, and the comb — as Michael described it is “a little dillitybob on the head that’s like … A little mohawk.” Michael went on to the next round of showmanship, but didn’t go any farther than that.

YOUTH MEDIA, from pg. 9A Thanks to 4-H, Symanski is aware of the growing importance and scope of agriculture. His venture raising and showing rabbits at the 2013 State Fair helped groom him for interviewing rabbit show exhibitors at the 2014 State Fair. Symanski understands that curiosity is the starting point for conducting a good interview. “I have some questions in my mind before I start. But when they answer a few of my questions that usually generates more questions and more information. Often I’m asking what I would like to learn myself,” said Symanski. He’s excited about his State Fair journalism adventure since this was his first published article, always a source of pride for aspiring writers. ❖

impact in the lives of young people. “The fundamental premise of 4-H is learning by doing,” he said. “That means building something or creating something by yourself with your hands and your own mental skills. Plus you learn the importance of record keeping, including both time and money spent on a particular project. All those skills play into the picture and help set the stage for your success in life.” Despite the stereotype, building model airplanes and rockets isn’t exclusively the world of young men. In fact, Hokuf said that in recent years he’s often awarded a purple ribbon Award of Excellence to quite a few young women excited about the world of aviation. As a 1990 graduate of Bemidji High School, Hokuf was nominated by Congressman Arlan Stangeland to be a candidate for the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., from which he graduated in 1995. After a few years in the Air Force, Hokuf entered commercial aviation. Today he is a Delta Air Lines pilot, flying a Boeing 767. He lives in St. Paul, but he is based out of John F. Kennedy Interna-

4-H’er raises big birds and bio-energy By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Brian Prchal, 17, a 4-H’er from Montgomery, Minn., showed market poultry at the Minnesota State Fair. He had a pair of Cornish-Rock cross-bred birds, each weighing nine-and-a-half pounds. Prchal admitted that normally you Brian Prchal don’t grow market poultry that big, but because the State Fair was in late August, these June 9 hatched birds had a longer growing period. Prchal grinds his own grain, a 3-to-1 ratio of cornto-protein concentrate. Normal market weight for these birds would be 7-to-8 pounds for the heavyweight class and 5-to-6 pounds for the lightweight class. He sees a growing market for meat-type poultry, especially in the fast food industry. He has 45 birds back home soon ready for processing with the meat being shared amongst three families “I’m seeing more chicken salads and chicken sandwiches at our local fast food eateries. They’re raising prices on their beef sandwiches so I see a strong demand for chicken,” said Prchal. Even though he’s raising market poultry, the South Dakota School of Mines is high on his choice of college because he wants to be a mechanical engineer.
He loved his State Fair experience of bringing his birds in on Aug. 20 and showing them the following day. From Aug. 22-24, he had the opportunity to “just look around and enjoy the Fair.” Prchal got to bring his big birds to the State Fair because they were blue ribbon champions at his Le Sueur County Fair. But the State Fair judge decided his birds were a bit too heavy so red ribbons resulted. After the State Fair, Prchal was headed for California because his science fair project — which involved applying waste water bio-solids to switchgrass plots and bio-energy plots — earned him the trip. “My idea was to see if wastewater bio-solids would make switchgrass more productive by making it more efficient,” he said. “I used 11 different varieties of switchgrass in small containers and a bio-energy plot in the field called CT25, which is a mixture of different flowers, grasses and legumes. The whole idea is to make a well-balanced ecosystem.” His legumes did well due to the slow release of the nutrients from the bio-solid materials (a.k.a. compost, or sludge), especially the slow release of nitrogen, Prchal said. He also noted that it helped retain soil moisture. “All in all, I learned the bio-solids did help the soil and the plants. I’ve been doing science fair projects for eight years so this is a great reward,” Prchal said. ❖

Corn Roast a sweet success at Minnesota State Fair By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Rumor has it that Sweet Martha’s Cookie Jar chocolate chip cookies are the Minnesota State Fair’s biggest seller year after year. But maybe... just maybe... Brad Ribar’s Corn Roast stand would be a close second. Corn on the cob never tastes better than sweet corn from this State Fair vendor. And sweet it is, indeed. The variety he serves — “Marai” — was developed in Japan. It does, in fact, have incredible sweetness. And equally important, it maintains its character after being cooked on the propane-fired roasters at Ribar’s unique food stand. His grower, Jerry Untiedt, a Wright County, Minn., corn grower, hand picks each day for delivery to the fairgrounds. In a private interview with The Land, Ribar said this was their 30th year at the State Fair. He reflected, “I was working at the Fair and saw a food product that just blew me away. It was roasted corn, and once I tried it I had to do it.” So how much corn on the cob gets eaten at the State Fair? Last year it was in the 180,000-ear range, according to Ribar. This year with a new State Fair record attendance, his Corn Roast stand also set a new record — slightly over 200,000 ears. “We were tremendously pleased,”

said Ribar in a Sept. 3 brief telephone interview. It was brief because he and his family crew were heading to Spencer, Iowa, for the Clay County Fair, billed as the world’s largest County Fair. His menu for the crowds in Spencer was a bit different — cheese curds and fresh-cut French fries from potatoes just harvested. Yep, it takes some labor to run a corn stand at the State Fair. Ribar said they hire about 100 kids for the 12-day run with about 55-60 working at one time. This means lugging the bags of corn from a refrigerated truck to the corn roasting area; then shucking down to just a couple of leaves are still wrapped around each ear; then placing ears into revolving trays of the eight upright roasters; then placing freshly roasted ears from upright roasters to the horizontal “tempering” grill. The remaining leaves are then shucked back, the roasted ear is butter dipped, and finally handed to eager customers with a paper napkin wrapped around the butt end of the ear. The remaining corn husks provide a bit of a handle for hungry fair-goers. It’s not exactly “on-a-stick” food, but you get the idea. Ribar’s clan includes his two daughters, two local nephews, plus three more nephews who come up from Arizona. So far nobody has gone on strike. See CORN ROAST, pg. 17A

tions when they got the okay by the State Fair Board to set up there. “It’s become such a popular item,” Ribar said. “We’ve got corn roasting at 8 a.m. The Fair officially opens each day at 9 a.m. and we’ve got folks stopping by eating sweet corn for breakfast.” They’re still selling corn at 11 p.m. when grandstand crowds are exiting — just one more bite of State Fair sweet corn seems to work as people walk to their bus stops and parking lots. It seems likely that future generations will continue to enjoy Ribar’s Corn Roast. “My kids love it. This is part of their lives,” he said. “They grew up here, so to speak, just like I did, so I imagine the Minnesota State Fair will be on our agenda for a long time. Plus the obvious — it’s paying tuition for a lot of our workers, too.” He doesn’t expect many changes in the future, other than always keeping an eye out for even tastier corn. “Nothing other than to keep looking for a better variety.

His biggest challenge when you’re feeding hundreds of thousands State Fair attendees? He hesitated a bit before answering, suggesting that keeping the crew happy, especially when customers are lined up 100 feet from the serving counter, is a concern. “But I’m always surprised and pleased how young people will work together to keep each other happy,” he said, “despite the heat and humidity that so often is part of the environment under our big tent.” His price for arguably the world’s best sweet corn? Three dollars per ear, the same, Ribar said, as he did nine years ago. If you figure 24 ears per bushel, it adds up to a $72 bushel, a far cry from the price farmers can get from the corn in their grain bins. “Granted, but not this corn,” said Ribar, smiling. “It’s something special and no one complains.” Looking back, he said their sweet corn stand has far exceeded expecta-

Despite the huge throngs of customers at his Corn Roast stand, Ribar said sweet corn is a tough sell at smaller county fairs and other events. “Some people will stop for an ear or two, and then they’ve left,” he said. “So it’s unpredictable until you get entrenched like we are here at the State Fair.

Butterflies well-fed during brief State Fair lives By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer If the Miracle of Birth center at the Minnesota State Fair ranks No. 1 in popularity, very likely the Butterfly House is No. 2. Now in its 19th year, this spacious tent-like structure houses a flurry beautiful butterflies and is, in fact, the “birthing center” to thousands of new butterflies during the 12-day State Fair run. David Bohlken created the original Butterfly House. He grew up on a farm that grew Christmas trees. David Bohlken They used a pesticide that killed everything but the Christmas trees and the milkweeds. “On a warm July afternoon you could literally hear the millions of butterflies eating the milkweeds,” he said. “I saw a magazine article about butterfly houses in Europe and thought, ‘Why not try that in the United States?’” So he did. Bohlken got permission from the Minnesota State Fair Board to put up a temporary display housing butterflies, the first such display in America. “We try to have about 5,000 at any given time,” he said. “There are about 12 different varieties, though Monarch is the most popular and most dominant. Many look quite similar but they’re tough, big butterflies that can take a little bit of handling.” He said that introducing more native American species is their growing goal, and the U.S. government is helping him do just that. U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced a

grant to propagate more native butterflies, including the Monarch. “(On Aug. 25) a petition was launched to make the Monarch butterfly an endangered species, which I don’t believe is going to happen,” said Bohlken, who noted that the Monarch is still a species of very special concern.
He said the big migrations of this beautiful insect are pretty much history. Partly to blame, he said, is the release of thousands of Conservation Reserve Program acres back into cultivated crop production, as well as logging in Mexico, which has largely devSee BUTTERFLIES, pg. 19A

Butterflies may not have a value in corn production, but Bohlken suggested that as new genetics develop new crop species, they will be more friendly to native wildlife. What do the butterflies eat during their brief State Fair romp?

fly species, said Bohlken. “Butterflies, like bees, are an extremely important pollinator,” he said. “One out of three bites of food you put in your mouth comes from a pollinator directly. With the exception of certain grains which are air pollinated, pollinators are going to be a bigger and bigger issue as time moves on. Drought, climate change, urbanization are factors much like pesticides in this ongoing challenges.” These are complicated issues, said Bohlken; “We’re not yet smart enough to figure out what to do.” He said that nothing in the world comes close to matching the magnitude of the Minnesota State Fair and the great butterfly exhibit at this 12day “Get-Together.” That’s saying something in view of the fact that he does exhibits in Iceland, Dubai, Mexico and elsewhere. Bohlken said butterflies aren’t important just as things of beauty and necessary for pollination. “They turn carbohydrates into proteins and they will feed some of the other animals that control some of the nuisance pests like aphids and other insects that can be a problem, even in vineyards,” he said. “But the one thing about butterflies is that everybody loves them. I don’t lose sight of the fact that they are insects, but they are incredibly beautiful.” And even though they may only live as beautifully winged creatures for a cou-

BUTTERFLIES, from pg. 18A astated their winter grounds. “It’s a very complicated issue,” said Bohlken. These are short-lived creatures, normally lasting only around 10-14 days, he said. In the Butterfly House at the State Fair, they live longer because his helpers take good care of them, and predators can’t get at them. “This is the only butterfly house in the world where we encourage the people to touch the butterflies,” Bohlken said. “This is an opportunity for urban children to pickup up a ‘wild animal’ for the first time in their life.” He estimated they get about 65,000 paid visitors, with another 240,000 to 340,000 viewing through the huge screened siding. Bohlken sets up his unique display at up to 20 large events, including the Iowa State Fair, the Houston Rodeo, and several events in Canada and beyond. “In the winter season we are under contract with the Dutch Bulb growers where we do their winter garden shows,” he said. “Plus this year we’re doing three shows in Minnesota — here at the State Fair, a show at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, and also at the Minnesota Science Museum in October.” The new pro-pollinator emphasis by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture is vitally important to the butter-

Boxelder bugs, Asian lady beetles beginning to gather Fall, to many, is a beautiful time of year as the number of mosquitos and gnats decrease, however homeowners find unwanted bugs in or around their home. The boxelder bugs begin to gather outside of some homes in large numbers. Another unwanted guest that congregates in and around the home are the Asian beetles. The Asian beetles are the multi-colored beetles often mistakenly called lady bugs. Both of these insects are seeking out a site to overwinter, and unfortunately many of them find their way into the home. These home invaders do not feed or reproduce in the home, but are definitely an annoyance. Boxelder bugs are easily identified by their black and deep-orange or bright-red colors; their wings lay flat on their bodies. The adult boxelder bugs are capable of flying several blocks and sometimes may even fly further than that. The boxelder bugs like sunny areas and are attracted to buildings with a lot of southern exposure. As weather cools, these insects will push into cracks and enter houses near the foundations. Many crawl under shingles and get into wall voids and attics. They also may enter through doors, windows, vent openings and other accessible areas. Populations of the boxelder bug vary each year and in each area. Environmental conditions often play a role in population numbers, such as warm, dry summers seem to lead to larger populations of boxelder bugs. The life cycle of this bug consists of reproducing and feeding on boxelder, maple and ash

Duck hunting for habitat — and for having a good time The 2014 Minnesota duck hunting season opener is just around the corner, and one doesn’t have to be an old timer to remember a time when opening was as much a social event as an opportunity to hunt. The traditional noon opener that had been in effect for years meant there was plenty of time to socialize, to travel to town to eat breakfast, kibitz with other hunters, before heading out to a
local duck haunt to claim of spot before legal shooting time rolled around. But moving the legal shooting time in recent years — first to 9 a.m. and more recently to the existing half-hour before sunrise — has made such a leisurely, social approach just a pleasant memory. Opening day now is pretty much business as usual, right out of the gate. Certainly, one half-hour before sun-

The cattle and hog markets are starting the month of September with more positive price outlooks. Both markets have seen the discounts of futures to cash either go to futures over cash or significantly narrow. The cattle market has seen a rapid rise in both cash and futures prices in recent days. Packers have had to scramble to find live inventories as numbers have stayed tight forcing the higher prices in the cash trade.

As a result, the futures market has rallied rather abruptly to try to close the gap on JOE TEALE the discount of the futures to curBroker rent cash prices. Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. At the same time, the beef cutout has reversed and is now moving higher once again after being under pressure through most of August. This has changed the attitudes of market participants from slightly negative to a more price-friendly outlook. From an overview of the cattle market, it appears that the market is in a bubble situation. This bubble will continue to see prices rise until the lack of demand finally breaks this trend. This fall, the demand for beef will come from the retail level as consumers finally resist the higher prices for beef. Until this happens, expect higher prices to be in the future. Producers should stay aware of market conditions and know that when the bubble bursts in this market, prices will begin to fall in dramatic fashion. Therefore, producers should protect their inventories when needed.

The following market analysis is for the week ending Sept. 5. CORN — The market wasted no time in resuming the downtrend as traders returned from the long Labor Day holiday. December corn closed lower in three of the four days in the shortened trading week, slicing through $3.50 per bushel to a new low of $3.43 3⁄4 per bushel. Estimates for a monster crop continue to crowd into the market. In the boot heel of Missouri, a field of irrigated corn was being harvested at 20-25 percent moisture and yielding a whopping 280-300 bushels per acre. NYSTROM We’ve insinuated that the market PHYLLIS CHS Hedging Inc. will be low enough when we have St. Paul all the bearish news accounted for, and apparently we don’t. Even the crop rating as of Aug. 31 showed improvement. The corn crop good/excellent rating increased 1 percent to 74 percent which is the highest rating for this time of year since 1994. The Sept. 11 U.S. Department of Agriculture crop report is the next grasp at a rally.

Beans show improvement, sellers gain confidence NYSTROM, from pg. 25A asset backed securities and bonds in an attempt to boost their economy. This action spurred the U.S. dollar index to burst higher to levels not seen since July 2013. Pressure on commodities resulted from the higher dollar. Informa Economics upped their corn yield from 168 bu./acre to 170.3 bu./acre. This puts their crop production at 14.281 billion bushels compared to their previous 13.988 billion bushel estimate. In August, the USDA was estimating the yield at 167.4 bu./acre for 14.032 billion bushels of production. Weekly ethanol production came in as expected at 271 million gallons per week versus 268 million the previous week. This was 12 percent higher than the same week last year. Ethanol stocks rose 15 million gallons to 742 million gallons, but they are still the second lowest of the last 14 weeks. The latest prediction for the 2014 Renewable Fuel Standard mandate to be released is early October. Ideas are leaning toward 13.6 billion gallons versus last November’s ideas for 13.0 billion gallons. For the last full week of the marketing year, weekly export sales were negative 300,000 bushels for 2013-14 and positive 20.7 million bushels for the 2014-15 crop year. Total sales for 2013-14 are 1.915 billion bushels. This compares to the USDA forecast for 1.92 billion bushels. Total sales commitments for 2014-15 stand at 412.4 million bushels, less than the 455.7 million bushels of sales on the books last year at this time. The USDA’s current 2014-15 export projection is 1.725 billion bushels. Late in the week, there was talk of a letter from Russia’s Ag Ministry to the Russian Prime Minister discussing a ban on grain exports as an alternative for balancing their domestic grain sheets. The letter was reported by the Russian Grain Union and both gov-
ernment offices denied the letter exists. OUTLOOK: This year may serve to reinforce the old saying that big crops get bigger. On the continuous corn chart, we are trading at levels not experienced since June 2010. The old contract low in December corn at $3.58 will now act as first resistance. In high-yielding years of 1994 and 2004, the September to final U.S. corn yield surged 10-11 bu./acre higher. The next support in the December contract is $3.24 1⁄2, the low from June 2010. Weather will dictate direction as we head into the Sept. 11 crop report, but if no threat pops up, lower prices are still in the cards. December corn fell 8 3⁄4 cents for the week to close at $3.56 per bushel. SOYBEANS — Soybeans tried to reverse higher when trade resumed after Labor Day, but it was a short-lived attempt. Take your pick of reasons for the continued sell-off: Tremendous yields, non-threatening or good weather, technical selling, soaring U.S. dollar, talk of switching meal sales to Argentina, or a combination of any of the above. When the soybean rating showed a two-percent improvement, sellers regained their confidence. The good/excellent category actually rose two percent to 72 percent, tied for the highest rating for late August since 1985. Adding fuel to the negative fire was talk around the trade that the arbitrage window to switch U.S. meal sales to Argentina is now open. Informa Economics updated their 2014-15 balance sheets, increasing their bean yield estimate from 44.5 bu./acre to 46.1 bu./acre. Their refreshed production number is 3.876 billion bushels. The USDA in August used 45.4 bu./acre for a crop of 3.816 billion bushels. In 1994 and 2004, the September to final U.S. soybean yield increased 3-4 bu./acre. Reports of Sudden Death Syndrome are circulating, but it doesn’t seem to be widespread enough to put a dent in this year’s gigantic crop.
Weekly export sales for the last week of the 201314 crop year were net negative 3.2 million bushels and net positive for the 2014-15 crop year at 32 million bushels. This brings old crop sales to 1.688 billion bushels versus USDA’s 1.64 billion bushel projection. We have imported 71.2 million bushels of soybeans through July of this year. The USDA was predicting total 2013-14 bean imports at 80 million bushels. Sales for 2014-15 are up to 796.4 million bushels, ahead of 755.1 million bushels last year at this time. USDA is expecting 2014-15 export sales of 1.675 billion bushels. Argentina’s farmers have only sold 55 percent of their record crop this year, down from 64 percent last year at this time. They are holding commodities against inflation. The Argentine government uses the 35 percent export tax to finance public spending. OUTLOOK – Psychological support at $10 was nearly breached this week and will be expected to be penetrated this week ahead of the USDA balance sheets if weather remains favorable. The new contract low in November soybeans is $10.01 1⁄4 per bushel. Seasonally, the entire soy complex moves lower during the month of September. In eight of the last 10 years, November beans have moved lower from Sept. 2 to Oct. 2. November soybeans were down just 2 3⁄4 cents for the week to settle at $10.21 1⁄2 per bushel. December meal was $1.60 lower and December bean oil gained 34 points. Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ended Sept. 5: Chicago December wheat tumbled 28 1⁄4 cents, Minneapolis fell 18 1⁄4 cents and Kansas City dropped 14 1⁄4 cents per bushel. The energy markets were a wild rollercoaster this week with sharp gains one day and steep losses the next. World events and varied economic reports, including a rallying U.S. dollar, eventually led to weekly losses. ❖

In addition to our farm operations understanding current break-evens, it will be just as critical for land owners leasing property to understand their tenant’s break-even scenarios as well. Some important considerations for land owners include: • Stay in communication with your tenant and continue to build strong relationships by being knowledgeable of the current profit and loss situation. • Understand the value of your property, the relationship you have with your tenant and be prepared to be flexible and creative.
• Find the right rental rates for your farm. Think about the production history of your farm and your soil types. • Consider flexible leases. Be knowledgeable of this option and consider how this may benefit you and your tenant if the market moves up dramatically. Bottom line, we’ll need to work extra hard to protect our operations and keep them sustainable during this volatility. We’ll need to communicate openly and often to stay abreast of the current market environment and be prepared to stay flexible in our agreements. Volatility can be stressful if we don’t plan for these downturns; it can also offer positive returns when still practicing disciplined margin management. Big picture — agriculture is a great field to be involved in and its long term future is bright. Longterm rewards will be gained by all that can weather the storm.

Hogs may have Volatility stressful, offers rewards ended downtrend TEALE, from pg. 25A The hog market appears to have finally ended its recent downtrend that has lasted since early July. Cash prices have firmed and the futures market has rallied from being a discount to cash to a fairly large premium. The pork cutout has also firmed adding further optimism that the possibility is there for prices to rally further in the weeks ahead. Hog numbers could likely drop over the next few months as the effects of the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus could bring the tightest numbers during that time period. From a value standpoint alone, pork offers a much better value than its competitive meats such as beef chicken and turkey. All of these factors combined could further help hog prices to recover further in the near term. The fact that the futures market has moved from a discount to a fairly large premium should alert the producers to keep a close eye on the market conditions. This could provide an opportunity to lock in inventories at a positive basis if warranted. ❖

With Federal Crop Insurance, every year is different, and with the multiple options available to producers, there are many variable results from crop insurance coverage at harvest time. Things will be no different in 2014, with some producers choosing Yield Protection policies (yield only) versus Revenue Protection FARM PROGRAMS policies (yield and price). ProBy Kent Thiesse ducers also have differences in the level of coverage, and some producers chose “optional units”, while other producers chose “enterprise units” for 2014. Even with all these differences, a large number of corn and soybean producers in Minnesota with RP policies are likely to qualify for crop insurance indemnity payments in 2014.

Pronity payments. ducers like the flexibility of the RP policies that provide insurance coverage for reduced yields, as well as in instances where the harvest price drops below initial base price. In 2014, corn and soybean crop insurance losses with YP policies and RP policies will function differently, due to the level of Chicago Board of Trade corn and soybean prices being well below the 2014 crop insurance base prices. The established base prices for 2014 YP and RP crop insurance policies were $4.62 per bushel for corn and $11.36 per bushel for soybeans This will be the payment rate for 2014 YP policies for corn and soybeans, and at current CBOT price levels, will also likely serve as the final price to calculate revenue guarantees for calculating potential RP crop insurance indemnity payments for corn and soybeans. The final harvest price for RP insurance policies with harvest price protection is based on the average CBOT December corn futures and CBOT November soybean futures during the month of October. If the 2014 CBOT price in October is below the $4.62 per bushel base price for corn, and the $11.36 per bushel base price for soybeans, which seems likely, the initial base price is used to calculate the RP guarantees; otherwise, the October harvest price will be used. The CBOT average price for October is used to calculate the value of the actual harvested bushels in 2014 for all RP insurance policies. As of Sept. 5, the CBOT futures prices were approximately $3.55 per bushel for December corn and $10.23 per bushel for November soybeans. If these average CBOT prices stay at these levels, the base prices of $4.62 per bushel for corn and $11.36 per bushel for

If the actual 2014 yield was 190 bushels per acre, with a $3.55 per bushel harvest price, the producer with 85 percent coverage would receive a gross indemnity payment of $71.63 per acre, while the producer with 75 percent coverage would receive no indemnity payment. Some farm operators in Minnesota and surrounding states will be facing reduced yields on some farm units in 2014, due to the very late planting, excessive rainfall, and severe storms. Many growers purchased upgraded levels of Revenue Protection crop insurance for the 2014 growing season, which included the higher “trendadjusted” yields that were available. See PROGRAMS, pg. 29A

Contact your farm’s tax advisor Producers that sold a large amount of 2013 grain in 2014 may have questions regarding the potential for deferring 2014 crop insurance payments to 2015 for income tax purposes. Here is a summary from some tax experts on the deferral of crop insurance payments: • Crop insurance proceeds received in 2014 for crop production losses, but not market price reductions, may qualify to be deferred until 2015, if the farm operator’s normal business practice is to collect 50 percent or more of the crop proceeds in the year after harvest. This must be documented; otherwise, the crop insurance proceeds must be claimed in 2014. • The potential crop insurance deferral is for all crops, and there is not a partial deferral. The 50 percent means test for crop proceeds is for all crops (corn, soybeans, and other crops) in aggregate, even if one crop (soybeans) is normally sold at harvest, and sales from another crop (corn) are usually delayed until the following year. • If the crop insurance claim is filed late enough, and the crop insurance proceeds are not received until after Jan. 1, 2015, the crop insurance proceeds will be counted as 2015 income. • If you delay your crop insurance proceeds until 2015, those proceeds can not be transferred back into 2014 for income tax calculations, and must be counted as 2015 income. Producers that are expecting significant crop insurance payments are encouraged to contact their tax advisor before finalizing any crop insurance payment deferral decisions.

Young farmers renting land rather than owning By MARK STEIL Minnesota Public Radio News LAMBERTON, Minn. — When Ryan Batalden graduated from college, he worked for a time in a Twin Cities office. But Batalden, who grew up on a farm, always felt the tug of the land. “I was in a cubicle and I just couldn’t deal with it,” he said. “I didn’t really have any direction, but I knew I had to work outside.” So about 12 years ago, he left the office job and went to work on his parents’ farm and looked for opportunities to start his own. He managed to rent 80 acres but that wasn’t enough to support him and his family. He couldn’t find any other affordable land to rent, and to buy land he would have had to spend more than $3,000 an acre, which was out of reach. As the nation’s farmers age, the aspiring young farmers who might replace them often find high land costs

Today, he farms 260 acres with the assistance of the program, enough to support his family, but still scratches his head at how long it took for him to become established. “It’s really hard,” Batalden said. “It shouldn’t be this difficult, to farm.” Karp said he helped match five other farmers around the United States with investors. 11 SILVERADO EXT.

culture and we should be trying to help as many as them as we can find their way into farming,” he said. Karp said his effort works on a relatively small scale, and more needs to be done. Toward that end, other organizations also are working to help young farmers. Among them is the Minneapolisbased Land Stewardship Project. It helps evaluate and instruct young farmers on what they need to do to get started, said Karen Stettler, who oversees the organization’s Farm Beginnings program. “The farm beginnings program really helps people to think about their deeply held values and beliefs, put that into a goal, and then to also make sure to follow that goal up with helping them to assess finances and marketing strategies,” she said. In the past 17 years about 600 people have gone through the program, about 60 percent are still farming, Stettler said. Batalden said he was lucky to find the help he needed to expand his farming operation. But he said with the average age of the U.S. farmer approaching 60, the nation needs to boost efforts to give young farmers a start. “I don’t know who we think is going to farm all this land,” he said. “As the baby boomers move off the land, we’re going to need a lot more people.” ❖

ditions are conducive to winter injury. Do a website search for “Minnesota Extension winter wheat varieties” or call your Extension office for more information. Plant winter wheat into standing stubble Survival of winter wheat during the winter is enhanced when it is covered with snow during the coldest months of the year. Standing crop residues can effectively retain snow and help insulate the crop during the winter. Abandoned stands of alfalfa that have been killed with glyphosate can work well. Even standing soybean stubble is capable of trapping some snow and reducing winterkill. Planting winter wheat into wheat stubble is not ideal due to the increased risk from residue-borne diseases. However, if disease management is planned, planting into wheat stubble is better than seeding into a clean tilled field, maybe depending on fall growth potential. Calculate the correct seeding rate The MN Extension Variety Trial publication suggests 75-plus pounds per acre. An optimum stand for winter wheat in the spring is 23 to 25 plants per square foot (900,000 - 1,000,000 plants per acre). At 14,500 seeds per pound, that’s 62 to 69 pounds per acre. Calculate a seeding rate based on known seeds per pound. A poor seedbed and planting past the optimum window will mean a higher percent stand loss and/or more winterkill. If planting is delayed or conditions exist that may delay germination and

As we enter the month of September, we are approaching the optimum time for planting winter wheat in Minnesota. The optimum planting date windows are between Sept. 1-15 in the area north of I-94, between Sept. 10-30 south of I-94, and between Sept. 20 and Oct. 10 in the part of the state south of I-90. Performance of winter grains the next year can be hurt if planted too early or too late. There’s a preferred amount of growth you’d like to see in the fall, not too much, not too little. In recent research, the early planted treatments have been more productive than those planted later than the optimal dates, though the difference was not always large, depending on the year and the variety grown. Getting some growth helps to hold some snow for insulation, if there is snow to hold. Below are key points to establish winter wheat successfully and give it the best chances to survive Minnesota’s winter. Plant winter-hardy, adapted varieties Use a winter hardy variety, especially if you are not planting into residue or you are seeding past the optimum planting window. Late planted seedlings will be small as winter approaches and will be more prone to winter injury, particularly if there is little snow cover. A winter hardy variety will help reduce the risk of injury and be more productive when con-

Northey: Cover crops on the rise Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented on the latest Iowa crop progress and condition report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service. The report is released weekly from April through October. “Crops continue to mature as we move towards harvest, with a few farmers starting to chop silage when the weather allows. Aerial seeding of cover crops is also taking place as an increasing number of farmers are starting to use cover crops,” Northey said. Crop report Precipitation early in the week slowed fieldwork to only 3.7 days suitable across Iowa during the week ending September 7, 2014, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Average temperatures for the week were above normal aiding crop development. Disease concerns were reported in both corn and soybeans across parts of the State. Activities for the week included chopping silage, harvesting hay, and seeding cover crops. Recent precipitation increased soil moisture. Topsoil moisture levels rated 0 percent very short, 7 per-
cent short, 79 percent adequate, and 14 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 2 percent very short, 12 percent short, 78 percent adequate, and 8 percent surplus. Almost all of Iowa’s corn crop was in the dough stage or beyond, and 72 percent had reached the dent stage, 1 week ahead of the previous year but 3 days behind the five-year average. Six percent of the corn acreage was mature, slightly ahead of last year but almost 2 weeks behind normal. Unchanged from last week, 76 percent of the corn acreage was reported in good to excellent condition. With almost the entire soybean crop setting pods or beyond, 26 percent of soybean leaves were turning color, 5 days ahead of the previous year, but 4 days behind average. Seventy-three percent of the soybean acreage was in good to excellent condition, equal to the previous week. The third cutting of alfalfa hay was 64 percent complete, almost 2 weeks behind both last year and the five-year average. Sixty-seven percent of all hay was rated in good to excellent condition. Pasture condition rated 63 percent good to excellent. Livestock conditions were reported as excellent with limited heat and insect stress.

Mind your ‘Ps’ and ‘Ns’ for winter wheat survival Choose the correct planting date Noted above. Consider treating seed with fungicides and possibly an insecticide If the seed is going to lay in the soil for an extended period of time or if conditions favor disease development, a fungicide applied to the seed will help protect it. An insecticide may be beneficial if wireworms are likely to be present. Rye is another crop that can be considered for farmers who want straw and then to make the best use of feeding or selling the grain. For better grain

yields, winter rye would be planted Aug. 15 to Sept. 10 in northern MN; and Sept. 5-30 in southern Minnesota. Rye can be planted 2 to 8 weeks earlier if you’re looking for a fall grazing or hay crop. Rye has less risk for winter injury. Plant ergot free seed. Triticale is a cross of wheat and rye.

WHEAT, from pg. 31A Apply phosphorus at time of planting Phosphorus fertilization can help winter hardiness, especially if soil tests for P are low. Phosphorus helps develop strong roots and crown tissue overwinter. The rate of P applied with the seed should be limited by the amount of nitrogen in the fertilizer, since excessive N prior to freeze-up can reduce winter survival. In narrow rows, nitrogen should not exceed 15 pounds per acre with the seed, particularly if conditions are dry. I’d have to wonder how that plays out then with land where lots of manure has been applied. Plant 1 to 1.5 inches deep Adequate moisture for establishing winter wheat is often a concern as the soil profile is usually depleted of moisture in the fall. If there is little or no moisture in the soil’s surface, planting shallow (1 to 1.5 inches deep) and waiting for rain is recommended. Furthermore, these relatively shallow planting depths allow for faster emergence when temperatures are rapidly declining. Avoid the “green bridge” Avoid fall infections of Wheat Streak Mosaic virus, Barley Yellow Dwarf virus, Hessian Fly, and/or tan spot by not planting too early and ensuring the removal of any volunteer wheat and grassy weeds at least two weeks prior to planting.

Cooperatives Working Together accepted 9 requests for export assistance this week to sell 2.26 million pounds of cheese and 617,294 pounds of whole milk powder to customers in Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, South America and Oceania. The product will be delivered through February 2015. Year-to-date, CWT has assisted member cooperatives in selling 84.3 million pounds of cheese, 48.188 million pounds of butter and 20.494 million pounds of whole milk powder to 43 countries on six continents. These sales are the equivalent of 2.012 billion pounds of milk on a milkfat basis. Numbers are adjusted for cancellations that occurred during the month. Speaking of exports, the U.S. Dairy Export Council reports that U.S. dairy exports in July were the lowest in six months. The farmer-funded agency reported that U.S. dairy exporters shipped 171,516 tons of milk powders, cheese, butterfat, whey and lactose in July, down 9 percent from June (on a dailyaverage basis). Export sales slowed across the board, reflecting pricing disadvantages for U.S. suppliers and more competition from Oceania and the European Union. Compared with June, nonfat dry milk/skim milk powder exports were down 17 percent, cheese was

down 8 percent, butterfat was off 10 percent, dry whey was down 14 percent and lactose was down 11 percent. Total exports were valued at $622.5 million in July, down 10 percent from June (daily-average basis), but up 2 percent from last year. That brings year-to-date sales to $4.54 billion, up 22 percent versus 2013. Sales to the United States’ top two single markets — Mexico and China — held up fairly well in July, each slipping just 4 percent vs. June (by value, daily average). And shipments to several other top customers, including Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Algeria, were above the prior month. But U.S. exports slowed considerably in a number of key markets, including South Korea (-25 percent vs. June), Japan (-22 percent), Vietnam (-19 percent), Malaysia (-57 percent), Thailand (-53 percent), Canada (-17 percent), Dominican Republic (-24 percent), Peru (-44 percent) and Morocco (-71 percent).

Foxtail millet, sorghum impressive as cover crops I talked with several beef producers about foxtail millet as an annual hay crop where they wanted something that could readily make dry baled hay. It could be good for dairy cows and growing heifers also when a late-planted crop is needed that has potential for dry hay.
This will be a year to see what we can learn from some of these situations; and I’d welcome opportunities to see and hear how some of these things turn out. This article was submitted by University of Minnesota Extension Educator Dan Martens. ❖

wanted something that could readily make dry baled hay. It could be good for dairy dry cows and growing heifers also when a late-planted crop is needed that has potential for dry hay. The foxtail millet was 20 to 24 inches tall and quite leafy on Aug. 6. I clipped a sample for testing. It tested 19% protein at this point with Acid Detergent Fiber at 33, Neutral Detergent Fiber at 55, NDF digestibility at 68 percent, Relative Feed Value at 105, and Relative Feed Quality at 150. This is about what I’d expect for a fairly immature, leafy grass. The BMR sorghum sudangrass ranged from about 30 to 48 inches tall, maybe a little taller than you might cut it the first time. I clipped about half the plot to see how well it would regrow and to see what the remaining crop would do. It should regrow if cut above the lowest node with maybe a 6 inch stubble. With adequate moisture it could be cut again in about 30 days. This forage lab test came back at 16 percent protein, ADF at 36, NDF at 60, NDF digestibility at 68 percent, RFV at 94, and RFQ at 142. So it was not a lot different than the foxtail millet; but more of it, with potential for more, with a second cutting. I laid the cut material out in my driveway, and it looks like making dry hay with this could be a challenge. In cutting a small amount, I did not try to estimate yield. Farmers who planted alternative forage crops where they hope to take partial or full prevented planting payments should check with their insurance agents to make sure they stay in
compliance with rules related to what they do with these fields. Farmers needing better quality feed might also watch feed quality and crop conditions and consider the value of the feed related to the value of full or partial prevented planting payments.
THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 12, 2014
FOLEY, Minn. — I stopped by the Gregory family’s Mill Creek Dairy, north of Kimball, in August to look at some alternative forage and cover crop plots that I planted there on June 30. I was most interested in watching crops that might produce forage feed. These crops were not much more than out of the ground when we held the Central Minnesota Forage tour there on July 16. On June 23, the Gregorys planted corn in this field where alfalfa had been tilled up after a late first cutting on this field. We suggest corn as a good crop to plant even through the first week of July for silage feed. Some corn was planted later than that this year. I planted plots on the edge of this field that are 6 feet wide by 20 feet long. Looking from bottom to top in the picture, they included tillage radish, berseem clover, spelt, forage oats, annual ryegrass, foxtail millet, Brown Midrib sorghum sudangrass, dwarf forage sorghum, and BMR forage sorghum. Foxtail millet was also planted along the right side of the plot, next to the road ditch. The front edge of the plot got singed with herbicide in turning a sprayer on the edge of the field while spraying the corn. That’s easy to do with a small plot on the edge of a field. I dug out one healthy tillage radish plant where the tuber was about 7 inches long and an inch or so in diameter. The berseem clover, annual ryegrass, and spelt were quite small yet. If they were a cover crop intermixed with a crop, that might be good at this point in the season. The forage oats was smaller than I expected, but looked very healthy. I was quite impressed with the foxtail millet and sorghum crops. Moisture did not appear to be a limiting factor at this point. Corn on some sandier soil in the neighborhood was wilting badly. Foxtail millet is an annual grass hay crop that makes one cutting. It is usually ready to harvest 50 to 60 days after planting when it is at or near heading. As with other hay crops, cutting earlier provides higher protein and digestibility. It makes dry hay very similar to brome grass or less mature reed canary grass. I talked with several beef producers about foxtail millet as an annual hay crop where they

Catch lameness early in dairy cattle

<< MILKER’S MESSAGE >>
ST. CLOUD, Minn. — To reduce pain and negative impact, catching lameness early is important. Let’s review locomotion scoring using the scale developed by Zinpro, which scores cattle 1 to 5. • A score of 1 indicates a normal cow. She stands and walks with a level back, and makes long, confident strides. • A score of 2 is a cow that is mildly lame. When standing, her back will be flat, but will arch when she walks. Her gait will be slightly abnormal. • A score of 3 is given to a moderately lame cow. She stands and walks with an arched back and short strides with one or more legs. Slight sinking of dew claws in limb opposite to the affected limb may be evident. • A score of 4 is a cow that is lame. When standing and walking, her back is arched. She’ll favor one or more limbs, but can still bear some weight on them. Sinking of the dew claws is evident in the limb opposite of the affected limb. • A score of 5 indicates a severely lame cow. There will be pronounced arching of the back, she will be reluctant to move, and will almost completely transfer weight off of the affected limbs. Catching and treating lame cows early, before they are 4s or 5s will improve animal welfare and prevent long-term problems. Learn how they walk so you can see a problem more easily. Observe them heading to the parlor, exiting the parlor, and as they wander in the barn. The key to good management is early detection and aggressive prevention.

here was a time when the sound of water rushing over the dam on the Otter Tail River at Phelps, Minn., was drowned out by the sound of human industry. One hundred years ago, during harvest, as many as 35 wagons could be lined up at the wheat delivery area of the three-story Phelps Flour and Feed Mill. Farmers came from as far as Wadena to have their wheat milled. So many came to trade that a bunkhouse and stable for overnight stays was built. A general store was also built. At the same time as the farmers were streaming into Phelps, wagons of the mill’s popular Bakers Choice and Gold Foil flour were being carted from the mill to stores in the area. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning
of the 20th, wheat, not corn, was the king of crops, and Minnesota hosted nearly 1,000 small mills like the Phelps Mill. Prior to the full expansion of the railroads and the centralization of flour-making in Minneapolis, these mills were hubs of local industry and economy. Today, almost all of those mills have disappeared. But thanks to local history advocates, The Friends of Phelps Mill and the Otter Tail County Historical Society, the 125-year-old Phelps Mill is sound and open to the public for tours. If you visit the mill today, you can walk through all three stories and learn how flour was made from wheat. On the first floor, there are five roller mills that ground the flour and removed the bran. On the
second floor, the ground wheat was run through a separator and three purifiers. The purifiers allowed for the manufacture of white, or patent, flour. On the third floor, flour was sifted and bleached and sent back to the first floor for bagging. All of this was operated with belts and pulleys powered by a 7,000-pound water turbine. The turbine is horizontal and completely submerged under 5 feet of water. Visitors can see the water turbine houses on the mill’s river side. If you go to Phelps, you can tour the mill and then sit on the general store’s porch, eat your ice cream and watch the river slip over the dam. You can also fish for catfish below the dam and picnic in the spacious county park next to the mill. ❖

“We don’t want any more rain this fall.” Dennis Wilts made this request when The Land spoke to him Sept. 4. With between seven to 10 inches of rain in the last three weeks, he said, “We’ve got enough.” All that rain made the wheat harvest a late and drawn-out one. “It took us about

two-and-half weeks,” he said of the harvest which wrapped up Sept. 3. Looking back, Wilts said he “can’t ever remember combining wheat this late.” He said the protein was low, but the Dennis Wilts yield was good. Meanwhile, “I think we’re going to have a pretty good corn crop in some fields,” he said, “but if we get any frost in September it’s going to hurt the yield.” The corn is beginning to dent, said Wilts, who believes the corn needs another 25 days to mature. As for the beans, he said they “look real good. I think we should have a fairly good bean crop.” The sugar beets are also “growing pretty good right now; looking better than they did a month ago,” he noted. Wilts will begin pre-lift on Sept. 23, as he grows sugar beets for Minn-Dak. For pre-lift harvest, it’s “just run on daylight hours,” he said. Regular harvest isn’t set yet, but he said it’s “usually when it gets cool enough to store beets.” The date is typically around Oct. 5. Wilts said his job now is to start tillage on his wheat ground, as well as get things ready for pre-lift. “The crops are looking fairly good,” he said, but “we need a lot of time before frost.”

A little over three inches of rain has fallen at Don Hoffman’s farm since
mid-August. When The Land spoke with Hoffman on Sept. 2, he commented on the fact that the “grass is as green as can be” and, overall, the “crops look great.” He said the corn Don Hoffman resembles sweet corn rather than silage corn, and predicted it would be “at least two weeks before chopping.” Corn isn’t the only crop that is a little behind; the beans are “as green as grass.” They look good, he said, but they need some time — there are “no tints of yellow.” Hoffman said that almost everything’s going to be late. “Pretty sure that we’ll need the dryers this fall,” he said. This will be “the first time in four years,” he said, “that the crop will have a chance to mature normally.” Hoffman’s alfalfa crop, however, hasn’t been behind all season. In fact, “We’ll take our fifth crop on Sunday or Monday, weather permitting,” said. Meanwhile, Hoffman is getting other parts of the farm ready for the fall and he has “worked on where we’re going to pump our manure.” He’ll do the manure application right after corn chopping is finished. Hoffman hosted a Mycogen corn silage plot day on Aug. 28; the weather was terrible, he said, but they had a good turnout. His son Brad manned the grill so “everybody ate good.” This was his second year as a host, and he noted that the 25-30 people in atten-

It may not have officially been raining cats and dogs at the Hagen farm, but it may as well have been. When The Land spoke with Jim Hagen Jim Hagen on Sept. 2, he noted that nine inches of rain had fallen in the previous two weeks. Thankfully, though, “it all soaked in,” he said, and the forecast was clear for the rest of the week. We’ve got “nice weather now,” said Hagen. He said the corn was doing “real good” and in the denting stage, and “some of the beans are turning now.” He predicted they’d be harvesting by the end of the month, as the rain had helped “fill the beans out.” The aphids seemed to have gotten the hint they weren’t welcome in their fields and have stayed away. Hagen spent a little time off the farm attending the Farm Progress show in Boone, Iowa, on Aug. 29. Due to the excessive rains, the show was canceled on the last day. The day Hagen went it was raining but manageable to get around the show. It was a “big crowd,” he said. Field demonstrations were canceled because of the rain, he said, but overall the show was “way bigger than it’s ever been, I think.” They’re now “getting things ready for harvest.” With the new combine this year, he has to get the settings just so in time to make its maiden trip through the field. He said he’s also “trying to figure out fall fertilizer prices,” although “most places haven’t set their prices yet.” Overall, Hagen said, it “should be a good crop.” Will it be a wet or dry harvest? “Time will tell,” he said. ❖

Jared Thronson’s crops got a little too close for comfort to a hail storm. Hail fell just five or six miles south; he’s relieved none of it Jared Thronson landed on his farm. As a matter of fact, not too much of anything has fallen from the sky for quite some time. When The Land spoke with him on Sept. 3, Thronson said they’d received about half an inch of rain the previous weekend. Their corn “hasn’t changed a whole lot in the last two weeks” he said. Thronson said it’s “at least two or three weeks behind .. but not bad for the condition of the plants.” He described the beans as “pretty good,” with early varieties “really starting to turn colors” and “most of the pods really full.” What little rain they’ve gotten has been “enough moisture to fill out all the pods.” Thronson’s wheat is not where he’d like it to be moisture-wise. “I like to get it below 20 percent before doing a lot,” and under 18 percent is ideal.“That would get it dried down relatively fast,” he said. He’s got 160 acres to harvest, and is “hopeful that in a week I’ll have my wheat combined.” Meanwhile, he kept busy helping his girlfriend’s dad combine his wheat last week. Combining then may have been an exception rather than the rule — “most of the wheat is still out there standing in the fields.” Thronson said he believes that not a lot of corn will be combined before November — “it needs some more heat” — and he predicts there’s a good chance there may be a lot of corn still standing in fields until March or April. With nights getting down into the mid-40s, it’s beginning to feel like fall, but Thronson is “hoping for a warmerthan-average September.”
dance was “a pretty nice group.” The mattresses for the dairy barn have now been ordered. Once they arrive, it will be a two-man job getting them in the barn and in place. “It will take some time,” Hoffman said. “This week we better get the equipment out.” While harvest may not be soon, Hoffman knows that from here on out there are “not going to be any days off.” “The crops are going to be better than we think in the area.” Hoffman said. “It will be a good crop. I don’t think people will be too disappointed when the combines finish in the field.”

Southern Minnesota growers: Early apples are ready By ELIZABETH BAIER Minnesota Public Radio Growers in southern Minnesota say this year’s early-season apples are ready to be picked. Minnesota Public Radio News reports this year’s apple harvest is running a week late because of the long winter and wet spring, but varieties like Paula Red and Zestar apples are ready. The Sekapp orchard near Rochester has about 7,000 fruit trees with 25 apple varieties. Owner Fred Kappauff says they’ve been fortunate this season to be spared hail that hit parts of central Minnesota and wiped out apple crops. Jim Luby, professor of horticultural science at the University of Minnesota, says the crop looks very good in some areas but spotty in others.
Reasons to visit your local apple orchard • Many apple orchards also offer hay rides, corn mazes and other fun fall activities for families. • An apple orchard makes for a great family trip and it isn't far from home. • You are buying the freshest, locally grown apples around. Many apple orchards also have apple baked goods that you can take home with you. • Apples are healthy for the entire family. They help protect bone health and lower LDL cholesterol.

These are the most common questions asked by gardeners and consumers about apples. Q: What is the most popular University of Minnesota apple? A: Without a doubt it is the Honeycrisp Apple. Explosively crisp, juicy, and with a sweettart taste, Honeycrisp is a true favorite. This exceptional apple has been honored as a significant technological discovery in the 2006 Better World Report and is the Minnesota State Fruit. It’s worth waiting for Honeycrisp Apples that ripen late in September to mid-October. Q: What are the names of the newest University of Minnesota apples? A: Three new apples have been introduced in recent years. The Zestar! Apple has a sprightly sweet-tart taste with a hint of brown sugar. It is an unusually crunchy, crisp and juicy early season apple. The SnowSweet Apple has a delightful sweet taste, with a slight tart balance and rich overtones. A unique characteristic is the fruit’s snowy white flesh is very slow to oxidize and turn brown after cutting. SnowSweet can be sliced for snacking or cut for salads well in advance and the apple pieces still maintain a white appetizing appearance. SnowSweet ripens late in the season. The Frostbite Apple was named by 8 Minnesota consumers in a 2008 contest. Frostbite is a unique, small apple that is extremely sweet. It’s flavor has been likened to sugar cane and molasses. It is extremely cold hardy and is an exceptional apple for cross pollination. Frostbite will ripen in late September to midOctober, but because of its recent introduction, fruit won’t be available to consumers for several years. Q: Where can I buy a tree to plant? A: Your best bet for purchasing one or just a few trees is to contact your favorite garden center and specifically ask for the University of Minnesota variety you want. In Minnesota, if you shop early, the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum Summer House will have a selection of varieties. Plus, many retail nurseries and garden centers in Minnesota will begin carrying new Zestar! and SnowSweet Apple Trees in Spring 2008. Q: What if I want to buy a number of apple trees? A: Large quantities (typically a minimum of 100) of patented University of Minnesota varieties must be ordered from a Licensed Wholesale Nursery.

‘Egg’ unlocks secret of world’s most versatile ingredient Cookbook Corner Michael Ruhlman’s done it again with “Egg: A Culinary Exploration of the World’s Most Versatile Ingredient” (Little, Brown & Co., 2014): He’s crafted a cookbook that’s an instant classic, one that’s a perfectionist’s dream but also accessible to the “common cook.” The author of some of my all-time favorites such as “Ratio: The Simple Codes Behind the Craft of Everyday Cooking” and “Ad Hoc at Home,” Ruhlman infuses all his subjects with charm and genius. His cookbooks are devoured by foodies, studied by culinary students, honored by peers, committed to memory, and passed around at parties. He’s that good. Why devote an entire cookbook to a single ingredient? Ruhlman explains that eggs are like a Rosetta stone, unlocking the secret language of the kitchen. Learn to use eggs properly, he reveals, and you become a far better all-around cook, because eggs make food behave in spectacular ways. Think “scrambled eggs and angel food cake and ice cream and aioli and popovers and …,” he writes, and you’ll get the idea that eggs are multi-taskers to the max. ■ Pretty much every egg dish you could imagine, and dozens more you didn’t, are included in this book, including this one for a beautiful, fresh herb-studded egg salad. Soaking the onion in salt water first mellows out its “bite” and makes it sweeter. My family gave this egg salad four out of four “yums” when I added garden lettuce and tomatoes, taking these simple, wholesome sandwiches to soaring heights of late-summer deliciousness. Egg Salad with Tarragon and Chives (serves 4) 3 tablespoons minced red onion Salt 8 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and coarsely chopped Freshly ground black pepper 1⁄2 cup Hellmann’s mayonnaise 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives Put the red onion in a small bowl and sprinkle liberally with salt, then cover with water for five to 10 minutes. Put the eggs in a medium bowl. Give them a three- or four-finger dose of salt and a liberal application of freshly ground pepper. Add the mayonnaise. Strain the onion and add it, along with the herbs, and stir with a rubber spatula until all the ingredients are uniformly combined. ■ Change up your usual weekend omelet with the potato-friendly version from Italy called a frittata. Omelets and frittatas are very similar in ingredients, but the frittata is started on the stove top, finished under the broiler, and then inverted onto a plate and sliced up like a pizza. Buon appetito! Potato, Onion and Cheese Frittata (serves 4) 1 small potato, peeled and cut into small dice (about 1 cup) 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Salt 1⁄2 onion, cut into small dice (about 1⁄2 cup) 6 eggs, thoroughly blended
The Johnson crew gives four out of four ‘yums’ to Egg Salad 1⁄2 cup shredded cheddar cheese Freshly ground black pepper 2 avocados, peeled, pitted and diced (optional) Preheat the broiler. In a medium nonstick frying pan, combine the potatoes and olive oil over mediumhigh heat and stir or toss them in the pan to coat the potatoes with oil. Add a three-finger pinch of salt, just to coat the surface. When the potatoes are lightly browned, add the onions; add salt to coat the onions; and continue to cook until the onions are tender, stirring or tossing the potato and onion. Place the eggs in a medium bowl and add the cheese, along with 1⁄2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper, and stir to combine and disperse the cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes and onions and reduce the heat to medium, swirling the pan so that the eggs even out. Cook until the edges are set, a couple of minutes depending on the heat level, checking to make sure the eggs aren’t sticking. Place the pan underneath the broiler until the eggs are just set, a minute or two depending on your broiler. When the top is set, invert the frittata onto a cutting board, cover with the diced avocado, if using, and cut into wedges. ■ Cool-as-your-grandmother’s-icebox Italian Drop Cookies are the perfect antidote to the dog days of summer. The butter and eggs add the richness while the lemon juice and zest add the zing, making these cookies melt in your mouth. A simple, yet perfect, lemony glaze completes the picture.
Italian Drop Cookies with Lemon Glaze 1⁄2 cup granulated sugar 1⁄4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature Zest and juice of 1⁄2 lemon 3 eggs 2 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1⁄4 teaspoon salt For the glaze: 2 1⁄2 cups confectioners’ sugar 1⁄4 cup fresh lemon juice Zest of 1 lemon Preheat the oven to 350 F. Combine the sugar, butter and lemon zest in a standing mixer and paddle on medium-high until thoroughly creamed, about five minutes. Reduce the speed to medium and add the eggs one by one while paddling, followed by the lemon juice. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the egg-butter mixture while paddling, just until the dough comes together. The dough should be pale yellow and sticky. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper. Using two spoons to scrape the dough off each other, drop the sticky cookie dough onto the lined baking sheet. You can make the cookies teaspoon- or tablespoon-size. Leave about 2 inches between the cookies; they will spread a bit. Bake until the cookies are lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool. To make the glaze, in a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, lemon juice and half of the zest until the sugar is completely dissolved. The icing should be nearly a paste that falls in ribbons when you lift the whisk from the bowl. When the cookies are cool, hold each one by the edges and dunk just the very top in the glaze. Once they’re glazed, place the cookies on a wire rack to allow any excess glaze to drip off. Garnish with the remaining zest while the glaze is still soft and not yet set.
