aid provisions of the 2014 law, claim Erin Lentz of the University of Texas and Christopher Barrett of Cornell. If just one restriction of the food aid formula, the requirement that 50 percent of all U.S. food aid be sent abroad on American-flagged ships — which “only affect(s) six to 11 mainly outdated vessels” — was removed, “4-10 million acutely malnourished people … would receive food aid…” Or, “In other words, roughly 10,000 additional hungry people are not being fed for each domestic shipping job protected” in the bill. • Moreover, the global trade implications of the law, writes Colin Carter, an ag economist at UC-Davis, are in clear conflict with what farmers repeatedly claim they want, free trade. “The 2014 farm bill … may well cost the United States any credibility in future agricultural trade negotiations in the Doha Round. Perhaps even more importantly, the (law) has undermined U.S. credibility in regional trade negotiations…” such as the nowbogged down trans-Pacific trade talks. Two other articles dive into the farm bill’s impact on ag research and “U.S. Agri-Environmental Policy.” Both are equally blunt and equally unimpressed by the long-in-the-making, short-inreality policies the law dictates. Smith, who describes himself as “far more liberal” than the right-leaning American Enterprise Institute, the Washington, D.C. think tank where he serves as a “Visiting Scholar,” says “the empirical evidence that underpins the entire series of articles is rock solid.” So will be the lumps of limestone, granite and coal thrown at him and his ag econ colleagues by all the beneficiaries of the 2014 farm bill.

He also learned about some wonderful things the father did for her and their family before he had to leave them behind. Among them, she was especially proud that he built the children a chicken house for their poultry projects, and he bought her a calf to show at the fair. Our son loves cows and calves and could relate to how special that calf must be to her. As they visited, she said, “God must have really liked my dad to take him so early.” Our son said he was trying to think of something comforting to say, but most of all, was trying to hold his own emotions together for the sake of the young girl, who had been dealing with her own emotions about this for as long as she had known about her father’s illness. She was doing well, it seemed. She was leading that conversation. I wiped away quiet tears of my own as he was telling me this amazing story of a young girl who reached out to a total stranger and introduced him to her father in the only way she could do that now. And what a job she did. It gave his job there even more special meaning. I thought of all the amazing people she must have in her life helping her through something that is so difficult even for adults to understand. Of all of the man’s children, she would remember him the most. I thought about the tremendous gift that will be for her. For one day, farmers banded together with equipment and manpower to harvest a silage crop for a friend. They may not say it, but farmers all know the brotherhood they share, strangers or not. They don’t even have to say it. And in someone’s hour of need, they’re there — even if only to be a sounding board, giving a child a chance to let someone get to know her dad. Perhaps that was the most important job of all that day. Karen Schwaller brings “Table Talk” to The Land from her home near Milford, Iowa. She can be reached at kschwaller@evertek.net. ❖

Lorna Landvik sends a Minnesota girl to Hollywood
<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>
sweet — until something happened at Peyton Hall that was no laughing matter. Even though I’m a fan from way back, I have to admit that Press this new kinda-sorta-semiautobiographical novel by author Lorna Landvik initially didn’t impress me much. There’s a lot going on at the beginning of “Best to Laugh” and too many characters thrown in a mix. To say that I was lost is an understatement. Happily, even though the plot extended and even more characters showed up, it all started to make sense after a (short) while, becoming the kind of book Landvik readers love. We get the wonderfully nice Midwestern girl we crave in these kinds of books, a host of quirky folks who are also fun to know, a dream in the making, and an ending that might find you reaching for tissues. “Best” indeed. I’ve no doubt that you’ll want to mention this to your book club when you’re done reading it. You’ll want to pass it to friends because they like books like this, too, and “Best to Laugh” is best to read. ❖

After 34 years, adios readers; See you in the field More than 30 years ago — in 1980 to be exact — I innocently volunteered to my editor, now long departed, that I’d be willing to write a column relating to the outdoors for The Free Press in Mankato, Minn. Thirty-four years later, that’s a whole lot of water having flowed beneath the bridge. In those days, lead shot still was legal for waterfowling, not a single wild turkey called the Minnesota River Valley home, and meaningful conservation programs like the Conservation Reserve and Reinvest in Minnesota were little more than wishful thinking.
THE OUTDOORS
By John Cross
With a few notable exceptions and occasional mileage reimbursements, my outdoor pursuits — licenses, gear, lodging and more — all have been on my time, my dime. But all things eventually come to an end. Today marks the last time I will be featured in this space.
My passion still remains for the outdoors, for opening days, of following a favorite bird dog More than three decades later, steel shot is into a familiar pheasant haunt, of listening to the law of the land for waterfowling, and by the calls of a passing flock of honkers, the footmight be my last. Now, so many years later, I regret now, most of us have even stopped whining about it. not having taken the time to clip them and slip them falls of a whitetail’s hooves in the frosty grass.

Deer season 2014 to rebuild herd Like more than 400,000 others, I am anxiously awaiting Saturday, Nov. 8, when Minnesota’s firearms deer hunting season begins. There’s nothing like it. The days of advance scouting. The physical struggle of putting up the new stands. The straining for vision and sound in the predawn light of opening day. Anticipation is in full swing for weeks, and then it is upon us. As I prepare for this year’s hunt, I am fully aware that I, like many other hunters, am less likely to bag a deer than in recent years. In fact, the lowest deer harvest in decades is expected under a harvest plan designed to rebuild the herd. We are conserving deer — does in particular — this season to improve deer
numbers in the future. Overall, most hunters in the state will be able to harvest only one deer. In much of northeastern Minnesota, where two consecutive severe winters took a toll on deer, hunters will only be able to shoot bucks. For me, someone who loves to eat venison, it will be tough to let a big doe go by. But the deer herd can rebound quickly, and passing on the doe this year will contribute to a much larger herd next year. This is an excerpt from an article submitted by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Tom Landwehr. To read the complete article, visit http://news.dnr.state.mn.us ❖

Thronson called the crop “average” and is happy that he was able to get it harvested so quickly, thanks to cooperation from Mother Nature. He finished up on Oct. 9. Thronson has been working on tillage and ditching since then. “Dad’s been chisel plowing,” he said, while he himself has a “few days left of ditching.” He also said he plans to “spread some fertilizer where I’m going to plant wheat next year.” Thronson said the corn crop is “coming along,” believing that harvest is “two weeks away still.” The crop itself is “looking pretty good still.” With “pretty nice drying weather” forecasted, Thronson is hopeful the corn can dry out quickly. He has 160 acres of corn. “Fields are all dry everywhere,” he said. “Pretty much all of it will be going in the bin,” he said. “I didn’t sell any right off the field.” He’ll start hauling corn in December. With weather and equipment cooperating, the 2014 harvest to date has been a good one. “The best part is getting everything done,” he said. Just 160 acres to the finish line and Thronson can see the end in sight.
while Hoffman was going to make “another 500 bales of corn stalks.” “Every day is a working day now,” he said. Hoffman said he “gets up at 5 and runs until 10:30-11 at night.” He’s not complaining, but he is counting down the days until deer opener. He said some quiet time in a deer stand awaiting the perfect 10pointer sounds nice right about now.

the advantage of all his established connections.” Deborah said she started farming “on a dare.” After commenting about small imported cheeses at a food show she attended with her husband, he mentioned to some colleagues that his wife was going to make cheese. She determined to make that comment a reality. “I had no idea I would be doing this. I knew nothing,” she said. She had worked in marketing for over 30 years. For two years she researched sheep and cheese making, and worked alongside of sheep dairy farmers. Just before her 58th birthday, she left the corporate world and became a full-time farmer. They had purchased the land in 2006, the sheep came in 2007, and she started milking in 2008. She chose the Icelandic breed because she “wanted a pasturebased system.” “We keep the sheep out on pasture year-round. We use (portable) shade shelters so they can get out of the sun,” Deborah said. Those shelters also provide protection during a blizzard, though heat is harder on this purebred Icelandic breed than the cold weather. The sheep are rotationally grazed on 100 acres, with 60 acres used for raising hay. After weaning, the ewe lambs and ram lambs are on separate pastures. When the pastures die back, all the sheep are fed hay, with the rams eventually going to market, providing meat and pelts. Having recently sent the adult rams to market, this fall Deborah has a dairy flock of about 70 ewes in one pasture, around 100 yearling ewes in a second pasture and 150 weaned lambs. Icelandic sheep are indeed triplepurpose — milk, meat, and wool. Deborah uses the milk to make cheese. Since sheep milk can be frozen, she freezes enough during milking season for winter cheesemaking. “If it was a fluid milk system, the economics are not there on our farm,” Deborah said. “These girls are stingy with their milk. I’ve been doing genetic selection through seven breedings, and my goal has been three pounds per

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent Travis and Chelsea Kleine can give a number of good reasons for raising Icelandic sheep. “They’re hardy,” was Travis’ immediate response. Chelsea, whom you might call the sheepherder, added her own list of attractive characteristics: “Low maintenance. They’re pretty much on grass. They get hardly any grain. They’re supposed to be parasite free. They don’t require a lot of attention.” Icelandic sheep are known for their triple usefulness — wool, meat, and milk. Spinners and felters like the unique long wool. It’s a “niche” market, Chelsea said. “It goes for a good price if it’s cleaned up a bit but not washed, so you don’t want to just sell it at commercial price to the shearer,” said Chelsea. With all these advantages, why have the Kleines cut back from a flock of 30 sheep to just nine? They have found what many other farmers who have tried ag enterprises have found — you can have a good idea and a great product, but you still need a market. There is a market for the lamb, but most of that is in the Twin Cities, Travis said, which is quite a distance from their Westbrook farm in southwestern Minnesota. “We set up a stand at the Slayton Autumn Boutique,” Travis said. “A guy came by our booth who was interested in the lamb, but we didn’t have enough at that time and he never got back to us, so we (downsized our flock) a little more until we find someone who is interested in them.” Target market Deborah Pikovsky also raises Icelandic sheep. Even after sending the rams to market, she still has over 300 in her flock. She uses the milk for making cheese. Deborah’s Star Thrower Farm is more conveniently located near the urban area, at Glencoe, just east of the Twin Cities. While the location is an advantage for farmers markets, she said she has an even greater advantage. Deborah’s husband, Scott Pikovsky, owns a business called Great Ciao. “It’s a specialty food business,” she said. “He looks for real high quality, small production products to sell to chefs as ingredients. He gave me guidance on what cheeses to make, and he told me if the quality of the cheese is high enough, he will carry it. I have

sheared before the animal is slaughtered and skinned. Then the skin is tanned. “Brain tanning is best,” Aakre said. “It makes the skin very soft. I have not found anybody in the U.S. that knows how to do that.” Once the skins are tanned and sewn together the skin side is decorated. Aakre’s finished skins have been displayed in art museums in New York Mills, Fergus Falls, and North Dakota. Aakre gives workshops and one-onone lessons in natural dying of wool, spinning, and other fiber arts to adults and children. She is also glad to show visitors the two restored log cabins on the farm. “I’m passionate about history; especially old spinning wheels and looms,” she said. “I have 18 old spinning wheels and 12 looms in various states of repair.” ❖

Icelandic fleeces grow rapidly and can produce as much as 18 inches of wool in a year. As a result, there often is a fall and a spring shearing rather than just one shearing per year. Aakre has struggled to find a good shearer that is willing to shear her small flock. “I’ve had people from around the state come and shear,” she said. “You have to make sure they don’t do a double cut on the wool. That makes it too short.” A fleece from an adult Icelandic sheep can weigh from three to seven pounds. They come in a wide range of colors including many shades of white, gray, black, and a variety of browns. Some are even spotted. In many fleeces the thel and tog are colored differently. Spinning wool On shearing day Aakre will often set up a skirting station for each fleece. This allows her to clean the fleeces by removing dirty or short wool. Aakre, a retired art teacher, has also used shearing day to educate youth. “Shearing day is an opportunity to teach children about sheep,” she said. “We can show them how to label the fleece bags and we can do a tasting of lamb. We can even do some spinning and make yarn.” Aakre says she can sell her Icelandic fleeces, but she generally saves them for more valuable projects. “I’d rather save them, hand spin them, and then use the yarn for art projects,” she said. “Sometimes I blend the Angora or llama fleece with the sheep’s wool.” Aakre does not sell hand spun yarn but has sold mill spun yarn.
“You can’t get a price that would pay for all the work you have in hand spun yarn,” she said. Sometimes the finished product from the mill has been less than satisfactory. “One mill sent me my beautiful yarn back on cones and not skeins,” she said. “The fiber looked hard and dead. I was devastated and didn’t know what to do.” But she did do something. “I put it in vinegar and water and heated it to 200 degrees in the oven,” she said. “That softened it up and brought it back to life. Jim wondered what we were having for dinner, though.” Aakre has also been experimenting with using the hides of her Icelandic sheep. A few years ago she traveled to Norway to learn the art of making shinnfelders. A shinnfelder is a number of sheep skins sewn together to make a blanket. The fleece is not

By TIM KING The Land Correspondent UNDERWOOD, Minn. — Karen Aakre is a fiber artist and teacher who raises Icelandic sheep, llamas, and Angora goats with her husband Jim Aakre on an 80-acre farm in the rolling hills near here. Aakre has been a shepherd almost as long as she has been a fiber artist. As a shepherd she didn’t start with sheep for fleeces, however. “My husband Jim brought home 10 sheep one day,” she said. “They turned out to be East Friesian so we went into the sheep milk business for awhile.” East Friesians are a breed that originated in northern Germany and are one of the most productive breeds for milk production. There are a number of other Friesian breeds, including the Zeeland Milk Sheep. “We set up a parlor where we could milk five sheep at a time,” Aakre said. “We were able to sell our milk.” Aakre said that she and her husband also milked Romanov sheep. Romanovs are known for lambing rates of 300 to 400 percent and the ewes give a lot of milk as a consequence, Aakre said. Due to her interest in the Nordic heritage of the area of Otter Tail County that she lives in and her passion for fiber arts, Aakre eventually transitioned to raising Icelandic sheep. The Norwegian Vikings brought Icelandic sheep to Iceland 1,000 years ago. The couple has had Icelandics since 1994. “We currently have 20 Icelandic ewes and an Icelandic ram,” Aakre said. Icelandic fleece is very versatile. As a hand spinner, Aakre can get a range of yarns from a single four- to five-pound fleece. Icelandic fleece has a long outer coat, called a tog, and a fine inner coat called a thel. This double coat is what allows Icelandics to thrive in harsh cold climates. The tog is a medium wool that is wavy and has little or no crimp. According to hand spinners, that makes it excellent for worsted spinning. The thel is three to four inches long with an irregular crimp. It is fine, lustrous, and as soft as cashmere. It makes a luxurious warm woolen yarn when used for next-to-the-skin garments. Aakre hand spins some of her wool. She also has some made into roving or yarn at woolen mills. She also sells an occasional raw fleece.

Great Pyrenees prove to be loyal guards, friends By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent Courageous guard dog whose size alone helps scare predators away from sheep, or big white cuddly pet? It appears the Great Pyrenees dog can fill either role. For the Chelsea and Travis Kleine family of rural Westbrook, Minn., the Pyrs (as they are sometimes called) started as pets. They had the dogs before they had sheep. “I had one growing up and I liked the breed,” Chelsea said. “We decided we needed some sheep for them to guard.” With their flock of Icelandic sheep down to nine, the dogs don’t have a lot of guard work, but the Kleines breed their Great Pyrenees and sell the puppies. According to dog breed websites, it is characteristic of Great Pyrenees to be very loyal and devoted to their family, which causes them to be territorial and protective. Not all are so Chelsea Kleine and her children enjoy their Great Pyrenees. welcoming to strangers as the Kleines’ Pyrenees, which tend to the gentle side. stranger, you better beware.

friend’s farm and were impressed by how well they keep the farm — and the neighborhood — free from predators,” Lea wrote. “Proactively, we bought two Great Pyrenees to keep our place predator free.” Richard Siemers Their decision has paid off. “In 18 years out in the country, we have not lost a sheep, duck or chicken to a four-legged predator,” he said. “We get feedback from our customers on the great job the Pyrs do as guardians.” About 40 percent of their customers purchase the pups primarily for guardians and about 60 percent go to families as pets. While most of the sales are in Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin, they’ve had people come from almost every state, even Alaska. Lea said the Great Pyrenees has a wide range of temperaments, just as people do, but overall he describes them as “regal, independent, gentle and loyal.” “They seem to have all the character traits that you wish a best friend has,” he said. In the end, these “friends” have guardianship bred into them. The Leas have been talking to a shepherd who has donkey guardians, and is still losing a lot of lambs. “He wouldn’t be losing any with Pyr guardians,” Lea said. “If people have trouble with bears, wolves or cougars, we advise them to get two Pyrs. One will die defending, but two will drive off any predator.” Their loyalty and guarding ability may never be put to that great of a test, but Lea admires their everyday usefulness just as much. “Great Pyrenees are the best guardians if you have children, or have strangers coming on your place,” he said. Both the Leas and the Kleines can be contacted through their websites. They not only want their customers to know what they are getting, they want to be certain their pups are getting good homes.

They didn’t like ash leaves early in the summer but they ate them later. This year’s group of lambs is the first that I’ve seen eat poison ivy leaves.” In the fall the sheep also graze oats that were seeded in early August in the fallow areas of the garden. They also enjoy time in our sweet corn and squash patches. Fall oats were originally seeded as a green manure crop in the garden’s fallow areas. Our idea was that bare ground is not good. Now the sheep graze and manure the oats after the first few frosts. They enjoy the milky seeds and sweet leaves but they leave plenty of stubble to cover the ground during the winter. This year Colin

morning. “This spring I was shooting for about 35,000 pounds.” The paddocks that Colin has his sheep in now are sandwiched between the field road and the area that the neighbor grazes fifteen or so cow-calf pairs for four or five weeks a year. I had always seen this little sandwich space as wasteland on the farm. But after three seasons of carefully managed intensive grazing by sheep and chickens, the grass is richer and thicker than it has ever been. The wasteland is now an opportunity to put some pounds on Colin’s grass-fed and pasture-finished lambs. “Grazing really improved the pasture,” Colin said. “There is more grass and there are more species of plants in the paddocks.” “The pasture is even better where the mobile chicken pens have been,” he said. “The object of management intensive grazing is to use the livestock to trample about half or a little more of the standing forage. This trampling creates a thick mulch which provides moisture retention and builds organic matter in the pasture.” By exploiting every square foot of unused land in the garden, orchard, bee yard, and cow pasture area, Colin has more than enough grass for this year’s flock of twelve. But this year, with all the rain, is unusual. Last year the grass in paddocks went dormant before Colin was ready to send his lambs to be butchered. He fed a small amount of hay, but the lambs also prospered on box elder and golden
expanded the fall oats project by plowing, summer fallowing, and seeding a third of an acre in the cow-calf pasture. The farm’s 10 acres was in alfalfa when we came here thirty years ago. Over the years the land that wasn’t used for garden, orchard, pasture, and bee yard has had trees and shrubs encroach on it. Colin has found all the old field borders and dead furrows and put up a perimeter fence using steel tposts and electrified high tensile aluminum wire. Then, using electric polywire and step-in fiberglass posts he’s created a series of small paddocks that he is constantly moving. “Paddock size is between 500-1,000 square feet, depending on grazing conditions,” he said. “The quick grazing and trampling has significantly improved pasture performance over the three seasons that I've been grazing. I’ve been able to more than double my stocking rate and my forage stands at well over five feet tall by the end of June. Prior to using rotational grazing, grass height in my pasture would not have reached past my knee. Management intensive grazing and rotational grazing requires more labor and fencing, but greatly improves the health of our farm and our profits.” When we started gardening in the old alfalfa field in 1985, the sandy loam soil was hard and pretty much without life. Since then, through green manures and compost, we’ve built a soil that is soft, full of life, and very productive. Now Colin is expanding upon that by building the health of the soil in the grassy and brushy areas. The question is: How much value can 10 acres produce when they are intensively and carefully managed? And, of course, do sheep fly? ❖
THE LAND, OCTOBER 31, 2014
By TIM KING The Land Correspondent Editor’s note: Please enjoy this rare first-person account from The Land, about how correspondent Tim King’s son Colin introduced Cheviot lambs to their family’s farm. CLOTHO, Minn. — After nearly three decades of fruit and vegetable production this farm is now also raising a small flock of feeder lambs. Since 1985, our family has had a commercial garden and orchard on our 10 acres of tillable land. We’ve also had a bee yard and have bartered 4 or 5 acres of pasture in exchange for manure which we compost. The beekeeper barters land rental for honey with us. We had experience with livestock of a sort in the 1980s. For three years we tried having a gaggle of geese for weeding our strawberries. It didn’t go well. Between owls and seemingly incurable and deadly eye diseases, we decided we didn’t really care to raise animals. Perhaps it was the sight of one of our Chinese geese flying over the neighbor’s flagpole that finally convinced us that we didn’t like them and they didn’t like us. We made a resolution: No more farm animals at Maple Hill Garden. So, why then, is there a flock of a dozen Cheviot lambs grazing around the bee hives and the second batch of 150 or so broiler chickens grazing in the orchard this summer? The reason is that we are in the third year of an evolving experiment. The initial experiment was for my son Colin to determine if he could raise sheep and chickens on the farm. He had no experience with either of these enterprises and no one he knew had any more than second-hand experience. My wife and I were generally opposed. We had known farmyard geese can’t fly over flagpoles and we’d heard that sheep can’t either. But we’d been wrong before. However, the young have a way of shifting the status quo. In 2012, there were three Cheviot lambs, purchased from the beekeeper, on grass on our farm. In 2013, there were six. This season there are 12 and there are tentative discussions about a 50 percent increase next year. The chicken flock has grown at a similar rate. Now, the experiment seems to be how much can this little 10 acre plot produce. “I am at about a 50,000 pound per acre stocking rate in the paddocks that I’m on now,” Colin told us the other

He believes the conditions are ripe for very strong U.S. milk production through the remainder of the year.

September butter stocks totaled 146.1 million pounds on Sept. 30, down 18.9 million pounds or 11 percent from August and 86.9 million pounds or 37 percent below September 2013, according to preliminary data issued Oct. 22. American-type cheese, at 631.3 million pounds, was down 16.6 million pounds or 3 percent from August and 29.8 million or 5 percent below a year ago. However, revisions reduced the original August inventory number by 14.5 million pounds. Total cheese stocks on Sept. 30 stood at 1.0 billion pounds, down 27.3 million pounds or 3 percent from August and 57.4 million pounds or 5 percent below a year ago. Cash cheese butter prices plunged the week of Oct. 20. The block Cheddar ended two weeks of “recovery,” closing Friday at $2.14 per pound, down 14.75 cents on the week but 26.50 cents above a year ago. The Cheddar barrels saw a fifth week of decline, finishing at $1.9225, also down 14.75 cents on the week, 10.25 cents above a year ago, but a much larger than normal 2.75 cents below the blocks, a spread that normally ranges 3-5 cents. This is the first time since July 31, 2014 that the barrels are below $2 per pound.
The blocks have plunged 31 cents from their recent record high and barrels have lost 56.75 cents. Generally, a penny movement on cheese equates to about a dime on the milk price. Only two cars of block and 15 of the once-tight barrel traded hands on the week. The National Dairy Products Sales Report-surveyed U.S. average block price fell to $2.2638, down 7.9 cents, while the barrels averaged $2.2149, down 11.5 cents. ■ Milk production remains strong in much of the upper Midwest, but less so in Minnesota, according to Dairy Market News. Nevertheless, milk continues to flow into Minnesota cheese plants from surrounding states and is available in needed volumes. Cheese plants in other Midwest states generally have adequate milk available. Some cheese manufacturers believe cheese inventory levels are "decent" while others note inventory levels being worked lower. Opinions about sales are mixed, with some cheese plants being sold out for much of this year, some reporting good sales, while some note customers are still purchasing hand to mouth while hoping for a price decline. Midwest demand for Italian cheese remains particularly strong and is expected to remain strong for a couple of more weeks. Halloween is regarded as one of the strongest food service day of the year for pizza sales, with frozen pizza sales also strong. ■ Cash butter appeared to have rounded the corner in its steep four-week descent when it inched back up a penny and a half on Monday and 1.75 cents Tuesday but the bleeding started again on Wednesday and fell below $2 per pound for the first time since April 30, 2014. It closed Friday at $1.81 down 19 cents on the week, 33.50 cents above a year ago, and down $1.25 from its recent record high. Forty carloads traded hands on the week. NDPSR butter averaged $2.7366, down 18.50 cents. Holiday orders are picking up, spurred by recent declining wholesale butter prices, according to Dairy Market News, but the market tone still has some uncertainty as to where prices will stabilize. Central production rates vary, but are generally higher as manufacturers look to fill seasonally increasing sales. Interest from both retail and food service accounts strengthened. U.S. prices are converging to competing global markets. Cream demand is weak as churn operators work current inventories lower. Manufacturers' supplies range from light to moderate. Some buyers note a few trucking challenges for large volume orders. ■ Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed Friday at $1.2450, down 13.50 cents on the week, and the lowest level since July 11, 2012. Five cars were sold in the spot market this week. NDPSR powder averaged $1.5147, up 1.9 cents, and dry whey averaged 65.23 cents per pound, down 1.4 cents.

Grain Outlook Livestock Angles Weather keeping Livestock markets producers in fields remain uneasy
Grain Angles Transportation strained Grain producers faced spring planting challenges, extreme commodity price declines, and now they’re looking at challenges with transporting a projected record production. We learn price is the equilibrium of supply and demand in “Economics 101.” This is true if we have an efficient transportation link between a buyer and seller. Today, basis numbers indicate that transportation in parts of the country remain extremely strained. For example, at the time of this writing some North Dakota corn bids are $3.00 a bushel less than KURT LENSING corn bids in Herford, Texas. AgStar Assistant VP When looking at transportation & Industry Specialist Waite Park, Minn. of grains and oilseeds, two major modes play an important role in moving the increased production of corn and soybean crops due to yield gains: rail, and the lock and dam system. There has been a lot of talk of the needed investments in additional rail crews, equipment, and track; however, nothing is happening as fast as the increased demand for railroads to move more freight. Additionally, the lock and dam system, which was mostly built in the 1930s, requires improvements to ensure timely and efficient transportation to domestic and export markets. A major transportation logjam started during last year’s harvest, and we have seen delays that will continue into the current harvest. We have about two months left until the upper Mississippi River

The volatility is still present in the livestock markets, as well as the continual change of direction. It’s more prevalent in the cattle market than the hogs but it still remains as markets are very uneasy. This uneasiness has developed because of the world events taking place, such as the Ebola outbreak, the ISIS situation in the Middle East, and the faltering economies worldwide. The cattle market has been very erratic of late, as the futures market has run into resistance and fallen back despite the fact that the supply of cattle is as tight as it will be all year. JOE TEALE This is a definite indication that Broker demand is beginning to slow Great Plains Commodity because of the high price of beef Afton, Minn. in comparison to other competitive meats. This is evident by the beef cutout that has been improving while the volume in the boxed beef trade has slowed in response to the higher prices. With pork, chicken and turkey prices drifting lower, beef could have a difficult time maintaining any price strength despite the tighter supplies. With packer margins already in the red and facing these tight supplies, the battle will ensue as what level packers can pay if demand continues to falter. The possibility still exists for cash prices to go higher as packers try to accumulate inventory. However the futures market may lag in price as it looks beyond the supply problems and looks at demand declining affecting future prices. The fourth quarter should be seen by the producer as the opportunity to

The following market analysis is for the week ending Oct. 24. CORN — Corn pushed to new highs this week, hitting $3.65 per bushel on spillover strength from the soy complex that prompted fund buying. Open weather through at least the end of the month will keep producers in the field with the expectation that hedge pressure should increase from extremely low levels. Growers did reward the rally this week with sales, but don’t discount the fact that every space will get filled before harvest is complete. The intermittent stoppages of harvest have given PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. producers and elevators alike St. Paul time to catch up on drying and find a home for the crop. Harvest progress as of Oct. 19 was only 32 percent complete. Export sales were at the high end of expectations at 40.6 million bushels. Total export commitments are running four percent lower than last year, but the U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting exports to be nine percent lower year-on-year. Total sales commitments stand at 41 percent of the USDA’s forecast. A new factor in the market this week was the chatter about two European feed wheat cargoes headed to the Southeast feeder market. This reinforces the fact there is a plentiful supply of world feed wheat available. Freight problems in the eastern market are another issue that makes imports attractive. The December corn chart this month is similar to 2011 when corn rallied from an Oct. 3 low of $5.72 1⁄4

Nystrom: Jumping meal market pulls beans higher NYSTROM, from pg. 15 to $6.65 1⁄2 on Oct. 21, then moved sideways to Nov. 9 when it broke to a December low of $5.70 per bushel. If yield reports continue on pace, a further pullback should be in the cards. The expiration of the November options this week may also take a leg of support away from the market. Keep in mind that we probably won’t have half the crop harvested by Oct. 26. Harvest progress is predicted to be just 45 percent complete as of Oct. 26 versus 65 percent complete on average. On the commitment of traders report as of Oct. 21, non-commercial traders increased their net long position by 32,000 contracts to net long 58,000 contracts. With most of the length assumed to be in the December contract, the roll forward or liquidation should lend pressure on the contract. The cattle on feed report was neutral with on feed 99 percent of last
year, placement 101 percent and marketing 99 percent. All the numbers were within one percent of the estimates. Weekly ethanol production was up 11,000 barrels to 896,000 barrels per day. Stocks were 416,000 barrels lower at 7.9 million barrels. In February, the USDA will begin issuing a new monthly report that will include U.S. ethanol production, individual feedstocks used and by-products produced. Reporting by the industry will be mandatory. Effective Nov. 2, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange will implement new daily trading limits for the agriculture sector. This is part of the new procedure established earlier this year. The daily trading limit for corn will drop from 35 cents to 25 cents, soybeans will be cut from $1.00 to 70 cents, Chicago Board of Trade wheat will decline a dime to 35 cents, Kansas City
Hogs have topped out TEALE, from pg. 15 take advantage of these high prices for finished and feeder cattle. The hog market appears to have topped out as cash prices have slipped during the middle of October. Numbers appear to be increasing and therefore supplies are on the increase. This is allowing the packer to be more selective in the pricing of live inventory. The effects of the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus appear to be lessening and therefore we should see more hogs available for market. The futures market has anticipated this as discounts are deep in all contracts
at present. Obviously these discounts will disappear in time as the futures and cash come together at the futures contract expiration. The fact that hog numbers are increasing, it is more than likely the cash market will continue to weaken in the latter part of the year. At the same time the futures market could maintain near current levels as the cash market slides. All things considered, the hog market is still at multi-year highs and producers should take advantage of these high prices and the good hog/corn ratio at present. ❖
LENSING, from pg. 15 lock and dam system is closed for the season. Today we are seeing barge freight rates increase as shippers try to get the harvest moving as quickly as possible. Rail freight or rail cars used to haul grain has also been climbing as the 2014 harvest is off to an excellent start. Just as some expected, eastern corn belt states that are a bit further along in harvest are already experiencing delays in transportation (some locations are rumored to have NO rail bids) causing storage shortages. It’s only a matter of time as harvest progresses to the north and west,
before we have strain added to our transportation system here. In the coming months and years expect to hear more about how the billions of dollars invested in rail and river logistics will benefit farmers, in maintaining the United States’ competitive edge, the ability to efficiently transport and export grain to demand sources around the globe.

MARKETING
from three cents, meal ton to $25 remain at bushel. OUTLOOK: December corn managed a nickel gain for the week, closing at $3.53 per bushel. This week’s high at $3.65 will act as first resistance with the first really heavy week of harvest for everyone at the same time ahead of us. We just haven’t felt any urgency to harvest this record crop. Fund buying and the upswing in meal and soybeans took corn along for the ride. The focus should return to a record corn harvest in the coming weeks. The CME is cutting electronic trading hours in livestock futures and options effective Oct. 27. The new hours in central time are: Monday 9:05 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Tuesday to Thursday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Friday 8 a.m. to 1:55 p.m. Open-outcry hours will remain the same. SOYBEANS — Soybeans were the star of the show this week as traders positioned ahead of the Oct. 24 expiration of the November options. A jumping meal market pulled beans higher as technical buying, slow grower selling, a lack of hedge pressure, and increased demand offset more favorable crop conditions in Brazil. Although nothing has been confirmed, it’s also thought that up to six meal cargoes were switched from the United States to Argentina origin or canceled this week. November soybeans hit a new high for the move at $10.02 per bushel on Friday before reversing lower into the weekend. Oil World floated the expectation that South American soybean acreage could be lower than last year as prices squeeze margins. However, they seem to be the only ones anticipating a decline rather than a 3-4 percent increase in bean acreage at the expense of corn acreage. Weekly export
sales were an astonishing 79.6 million bushels. The surprising part was there were no daily announcements during the week. Total soybean sales commitments are already at 71 percent of the USDA forecast. Total sales are running 7 percent ahead of last year when the USDA is projecting sales to increase 3 1/2 percent year on year. In comments, the USDA said that a large portion of the sales were switched from optional origin and another big portion should have been announced on the daily reports. They stated that the USDA records “misreporting” and does remind exporters of their responsibilities regarding reporting. Meal sales were dismal at just 23,000 metric tons compared to pre-report estimates for at least 150,000 mt. Soybean harvest in the northern belt will finish up in many areas by Oct. 28 and progress should accelerate in the East as conditions dry. November soybeans were 25 3⁄4 cents higher this week at $9.77 1⁄2 per bushel, January soybeans rallied 23 1⁄2 cents to $9.83 1⁄4, December meal raced $19.70 higher and December soy oil was 37 points higher. Non-commercial traders cut their net short soybean positions as of Oct. 21 by 9,600 contracts to net short 51,000 contracts, according to the latest commitment of traders report. OUTLOOK: Growers should enjoy clear weather this coming week as they finish up the last 25-30 percent of soybean harvest. Harvest is usually 75 percent complete as of this week. The weak close for the week may set the market up for further downside. A Bloomberg survey indicated that of the 26 traders participating 15 were bearish, six were bullish and five were neutral for price direction in the last week of October. First support in the January contract is the 14-day moving average at $9.62 1⁄4 per bushel and resistance at the Oct. 24 high of $10.08 3⁄4 per bushel. ❖

THE LAND, OCTOBER 31, 2014
By MARIE WOOD The Land Associate Editor The banner reads “Para Los Ninos” (for the children) and hangs outside the Migrant and Seasonal Head Start and Early Head Start center housed in the old grade school in Elysian, Minn. Inside, migrant children, six weeks to age 5, are getting kindergarten ready as they learn, play, eat and nap. Most of the parents work at the pea and corn packing plants in Waseca and Montgomery, Minn. One of the biggest challenges for migrant children is the disruption of their education. That’s why the national Migrant Education Program, provides educational and support services to eligible migrant children between the ages of 3-21 each year. Head Start and Early Head Start serves pregnant women and children through age 5. Isabel Ramirez and Eric Silva of Faribault, Minn., have three children that are bussed to and from the Elysian center, which provides Head Start services from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays. The couple worked first shift at Birds Eye Foods in Waseca, Education, health services The Elysian Migrant and Seasonal packing peas in June and July and then rolled into corn packing through Head Start and Early Head Start Center is one of 14 centers in Minnesota September. operated by Tri-Valley Opportunity “This is a really great place for all Council.

Dream for children: Happiness, health and education EDUCATION, from pg. 25 learned how to use the seats properly. “They (car seats) are very expensive and we can’t afford it,” said Isabel. At Head Start parent meetings, Isabel has made friends — most of whom she won’t see again until next summer. Already a loving mom, the meetings taught her about child care and development to improve her parenting. “I learned how important it is to brush their teeth,” said Isabel. Isabel and Eric are looking to their children’s future. Eric graduated from high school in Guana- Laura Elfert joato, Mexico, but Isabel never graduated from high school. While Isabel wants to earn her GED, she has higher aspirations for her children. Isabel’s dream for them is “to study, be happy and healthy, and to go to college.” Serving migrant families The Migrant and Seasonal Head Start and Early Head Start mis- Melanie Wolff sion is to cultivate lifelong learning in children and families, while the short-term goal is kindergarten readiness. To that end, children are screened for development. If delays are diagnosed, family advocates connect the families with services such as speech or physical therapy. Sometimes family advocates or the center nurse will transport the children to medical appointments. Throughout the process, Zamora sees

To identify families in need of migrant services, Tri-Valley’s recruiters and family advocates meet with human resources and managers at packing plants, as well as with farmers and orchard growers. Sometimes the plant managers are not interested, said Melanie Wolff, recruiter and family advocate at the Elysian center. Many managers are grateful so the recruiters go to break rooms to talk to workers. All the recruiters and family advocates speak Spanish and English. “We work to form partnerships with workplaces and farmers, as well as local community resources including food banks, churches and landlords in order to meet the needs of families,” said Elfert. For three summers, Zamora has been helping migrant families in southern Minnesota. The three biggest needs are clothing, food and housing. One of Zamora’s families needed a table where they could eat their family suppers. Most are in need of warm clothes, hats and sweaters for their children. “They don’t come prepared for this weather,” said Zamora. Support services can also include helping parents get scholarships to obtain their GEDs. Zamora’s heart goes out to her families that pack up and head back to Texas and other states every
October. With each family, Zamora sets goals and makes a plan to transition them to the next school district. “It’s hard for school-aged children because they just get started at school,” she said. In Minnesota, Tri-Valley Opportunity Council identified 1,767 migrant children in 2012-13. On average, 1,300 children age 3 to 21 are served annually in the Migrant Education Program.

The still of morning
This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Managing Editor Tom Royer
I
t’s the middle of fall harvest season, in the middle of farm country, but all is quiet. Even farmers need rest. Early on a late-October morning, driving north out of Albert Lea, Minn., on Highway 13, there are plenty of combines, tractors, grain carts and semi trucks in half-harvested fields, but they’re parked, and cold. Scanning the landscape in all directions, the only movement is the slow rotation of a wind farm’s massive turbine blades. The air is heavy and almost still, dampening the barely-audible ‘whoosh’. The farmers aren’t sleeping in, of course. Most have already been up for hours, drinking coffee, eating breakfast, checking the news, planning out the day. Soon enough the boots and overalls will be on, all of the combines’ Zerks greased, and the countryside will be bustling with activity until long after the sun sets once again. But for now, for the moment ... silence. ❖
