Thanksgiving turkey prices up this year Thanksgiving holiday food shoppers will find adequate supplies of turkeys but at higher prices, depending on the type and whether grocers pass the increases on to customers or eat the loss themselves, a Purdue University agricultural economist says. Wholesale prices of turkeys are expected to be 8-10 percent higher than last year, said Corrinne Alexander, who tracks trends in food prices. The U.S. Department of Agriculture predicts wholesale prices for Eastern market whole turkey will be between $1.12 and $1.16 per pound in the fourth quarter of this year, compared with $1.05 per pound this time last year. The higher prices for turkeys primarily are being driven by higher feed costs following the drought of 2012, Alexander said. She said how the higher wholesale prices translate into retail prices depends on individual retailers' pricing decisions. “The actual price you pay will vary depending on whether you purchase whole or turkey parts; frozen or fresh birds; fresh, precooked or complete turkey meals; brand names; and the value of store coupons and price specials,” she said. More stores are offering free-range and organic turkeys at premium prices, she said. Fresh birds will be priced higher than frozen, with the price of fresh turkeys more sensitive to increases in wholesale prices. This article was submitted by Purdue University. ❖

learning opportunity. “I’m all ears,” he said. “I want to know what he thinks and what I can do to make my balance sheet look better.” Over the winter months, the Engles will complete a cash flow budget and run all their numbers through a computer software program. Then they update the cash flow budget as needed throughout the year. The process of completing a cash flow budget, recording expenses and income and marketing crops is timeconsuming. Completing the two-year agricultural production program at South Central College in North Mankato has been an advantage to Engles. “It just made me realize you need to keep good records and know your cost of production,” he said. To stay current on crop marketing and finances, Engles attends AgStar marketing events and conferences in the winter and early spring. He likes to catch a couple speakers every year to get different viewpoints on marketing. ❖
<< www.TheLandOnline.com >> “Where Farm and Family Meet”
With 40 years in farming to his son’s six, the younger Engles values his dad’s wisdom and experience. “We take stack corn for granted for its yield, drought tolerance and standability,” he said. Engles said that if he starts cutting costs on all inputs and managing his overhead, it will add up and can help to make the difference between making a profit or losing money. He doesn’t expect to make any major equipment purchases this year. In addition, tax incentives to buy new equipment were strong for about five years now, but those have disappeared, he said. Diversified Engles Farms is a diverse operation of three businesses in one. Brian Engles manages the hog operation and shares management of the crops with his father. His mother, Donna, provides the moral support for the family business. His brother and his wife, Jay and Ashley Engles, run the farm tiling business. After the crops are in, Engles will work in the tiling business until the ground freezes. The family bought the tiling business in 2009 to make room for the next generation to join the family operation. Engles has been working on the farm since he was a young boy. He’s been driving tractors since 5th grade and the hopper truck since age 16. One of
his first farm jobs was grinding feed, which they no longer do. To reduce risk, the Engles are a contract producer for Wakefield Pork in Gaylord, Minn.; Wakefield provides the feed. The Engles’ hogs have not been affected by the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, and while he understands he may have gotten lucky, Engles also enforces a strict bio-security policy. “I don’t allow anyone on farm site that’s been around other hogs,” he said. Balance sheets Engles and his dad work together on farm finances. They bank with AgStar Financial Services, meeting annually with their banker, who reviews all of the farm finances. Engles views the meetings as a
THE LAND, NOVEMBER 14, 2014
By MARIE WOOD The Land Associate Editor LAKE CRYSTAL, Minn. — On a warm October afternoon, 25-year-old Brian Engles was hauling corn, one of his favorite jobs on his family’s farm near Lake Crystal. With corn prices around $3 per bushel, storage is a No. 1 priority for the 2014 harvest. “You’d be farming for a loss if you sold today,” said Engles. That’s why he was moving corn from their on-farm storage site, where their corn dryer is, to a rented storage site down the Brian Engles road. They were making room for the last of the corn crop. “This year, you need all the storage you can get. We are storing it to capture the carry in market prices — the difference in price between now and July,” said Engles. One strategy that helped Engles Farms this year was contracting corn and beans on the futures market. “We had quite a bit of our crop priced last summer at a better price, but just like everyone else, we wish we had priced more,” he said. “We try to do a little bit each year to spread out the risk. You don’t want to put all your eggs in one basket.” While he is “pleasantly surprised” by this year’s harvest, he and his dad, John, have already discussed changes they will make in 2015. Like most farmers, the Engles were heavy on corn this year. “We will even-out the rotation between corn and soybeans to 50-50,” he said. As farmers plan for 2015, they will be making decisions on all aspects of farming: crop input, land leases, grain marketing, risk management and new farm bill programs, said Kent Thiesse, vice president at MinnStar Bank in Lake Crystal. Cutting costs While grain prices are down, crop input costs are not. Engles plans to shop around to cut costs “Farming is a business. You have to do what’s best for your own bottom line,” he said. “My dad and I briefly talked about going conventional for the cheaper seed.” However, the elder Engles remembers the days of conventional corn and doesn’t want to return to those days.

From the Fields: Harvest ends, field work yet to do By KRISTIN KVENO The Land Correspondent
The Thronsons Gary, Minn.
Jared Thronson was in the thick of corn harvest, and the conditions for getting it done, and soon, were in his favor. The Land Jared Thronson spoke with Thronson on Oct. 27 as he reported that he was “about half done.” “Today we got a pretty good chance of rain,” said Thronson. “We’ll go unless it starts raining.” He estimated that they would be done by Oct. 29. He began combining on Oct. 25. The corn is at 19 percent moisture, he said; Thronson planned to “just put it all in the bins with fans running.” “Pretty decent yielding crop,” he said. Thronson isn’t doing harvest alone. His harvest crew includes his dad, Lloyd, driving the combine, his great uncle Harlow driving the grain cart, and Thronson driving the truck. In the evening he’s been chopping the stalks in the field with his pullbehind shredder. Once corn harvest is complete it will take him another day to get all the stalks chopped down. He plans to use the disc ripper to go over corn ground. If time allows and snow and bitter temperatures stay at bay, he said “I’ll probably chisel plow after that.” He’s all caught up with ditching except for the corn ground; he hopes to get to that after chisel plowing. “Had an unusually warm October and that’s what saved it (harvest),” Thronson said. Overall he said harvest is going “really good; really happy with it.” That’s quite a positive statement from a guy who was concerned earlier in the season that he may be combining corn in the spring. To have harvest almost complete, and a chance to get field work completed this fall, is close to ideal.
The Wiltses Herman, Minn.
For Dennis Wilts, this year’s harvest is officially done. The Land spoke with Wilts on Oct. 27 and he was happy to make a report.
The Thronsons ❖ Gary, Minn ❖ Norman-Mahnomen Counties corn, soybeans and wheat
The Wiltses ❖ Herman, Minn ❖ Stevens County corn, soybeans, wheat and sugar beets
The Hoffmans ❖ New Ulm, Minn ❖ Brown County dairy cattle, corn, soybeans and alfalfa
The Hagens ❖ Lake Mills, Iowa ❖ Winnebago County corn and soybeans
“We finished corn yesterday,” he said. “Corn harvest went good; no major break downs.” The weather was the stable element this harvest. Dennis Wilts “Nice fall for getting work done,” said Wilts. The corn “yield was down; some fields did very good, some didn’t,” he said, but the corn “dried down pretty good.” It averaged between 18 to 21 percent moisture. “It dried down better than we thought,” Wilts said. Wilts said he would be applying anhydrous the following day, figuring it would take about a week to get it all done. It was raining lightly on Oct. 27 and that was just perfect for Wilts. “We’re glad it’s raining right now,” he said. “It’s perfect timing.” The moisture on the fields will help hold the anhydrous in the soil. “I can never remember an October like this,” he said. “Weather-wise, breakdowns — very few, it went very good. We were able to keep going steady.” Now Wilts will be “cleaning some ditches out” as well as cleaning up trees that were recently cut down. Things are slowing down at the farm. “Everybody got to take a little bit of a break (yesterday),” he said.
The Hoffmans New Ulm, Minn.
The manure lagoons on Don Hoffman’s farm are empty and he is happy and relieved to be done with that job. The Land spoke with Don Hoffman Hoffman on Oct. 29. He said he was grateful for the favorable weather conditions; the whole process took almost three weeks to complete. Hoffman began tillage on Oct. 28. “Ground is awful hard,” he said. “We haven’t had a quarter inch (of rain) in the last month.” Hoffman estimated that he would be done with tillage by Nov. 1. In the dairy, winter preparation has begun. Hoffman is watching the weather and said he will “get all the doors working” for when the temperature and weather conditions warrant them to be closed. He will also be putting panels on in the barns as well as getting all the curtains up. Hoffman is optimistic that November will be pleasant. “We’re past due for a beautiful November,” he said. Hoffman said that everything started late, including his corn silage harvest which was three weeks late. However, the weather made harvest go smoothly, allowing everything to “be done on schedule.”
The countdown is on for Hoffman — “Got about 10 to get it done,” he said. Deer hunting starts in two weeks and he wants to be done with field work by then. He and some friends hunt near Searles, Minn., something he looks forward to every year. He will be heading west mid-November for deer hunting in Wyoming. Hoffman’s been going since the mid-1990s. “It’s a vacation after the rush,” he said. Nothing’s better than enjoying a beloved hobby after wrapping up a solid harvest.
The Hagens Lake Mills, Iowa
The end is in sight for Jim Hagen. Only 300 acres of corn stand between Hagen and the end of the 2014 harvest season. The Land spoke with Jim Hagen Hagen on Oct. 27. Hagen reported that the yield average was “very good.” The corn harvest has “just been humming along,” he said. “Corn is probably testing 17 percent out of the field,” Hagen said. If the weather cooperates, he expected to be done with harvest by Nov. 1. Hagen finished combining soybeans Oct. 17. While the early frost hurt some of the beans, he said the yield was “above average.” He called them “good beans.” Once the combine is done for the year, tillage will be in full swing for Hagen. “Lots of tillage to do,” he said. While Hagen doesn’t till all his ground, he expects it will take two weeks to complete. A big tiling project is underway for 120 acres of ground, tiling every 60 feet. “We tile some every year,” said Hagen. “This is how you get the good yields.” As the season wraps up for Hagen, he’s beginning to look beyond the farm to upcoming adventures he has planned. This includes an 18-day cruise in January down the Panama Canal and traveling to Australia in February or March with his wife to visit her daughter. A good harvest almost complete and plenty of fun to look forward — it just doesn’t get much better. ❖

Peterson: No, that went to a farmer who said he’d be putting it into his power lineup right away. Q: So who’s buying these midsize tractors? Peterson: The livestock guys are making some money these days and they’re doing more buying of these units. Also older farmers appreciate how simple these older power units are. You don’t need to hook up a computer to fix it. They have the confidence to feel they can still mostly do the care and maintenance without needing the $75 per hour local tractor dealer mechanics. Q: AGCO recently announced a 20 percent reduction in sales but a 50 percent cut in profits. Is new equipment mostly just sitting on the dealers’ lots these days? Peterson: Somewhat yes, but new stuff is selling, just not like it was during those several golden years when net farm income was setting new records each successive year. Manufacturers are rightly concerned however about controlling production. That’s why layoffs by John Deere, Case-IH, AGCO and others. Plus many dealers now have too much of the one- to fiveyear-old equipment sitting on their lots — especially if they sit in cash grain country, too. Q: So in view of this volatility in agriculture, are there now some good buys in farm equipment? Peterson: I get across the country frequently and it’s encouraging to me to see younger farmers seeing these opportunities in good used equipment. Like seeing a six-year-old combine at
THE LAND, NOVEMBER 14, 2014
By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Is the commodity price crash also crashing machinery prices? Greg Peterson — better known by most as Machinery Pete — said there is Greg Peterson some crashing of machinery prices but only at the top end with newer and bigger steel. Peterson created www.machinerypete.com, an online equipment search with classifieds, auction results and upcoming auctions. Interviewed at the Oct. 31 Farm/City Breakfast hosted by KDUZ Radio, Hutchinson, Peterson shared the following comments in a Q&A with The Land. Q: Has $3 corn killed machinery sales? Peterson: If we’re looking at the one- to five-year-old large items like big combines, 24 row planters, 4WD 300 hp tractors, those prices are dropping. We’re in that 15 to 25 percent drop on that category of equipment. But get into older equipment and values are holding real well. Q: Why this trend? Peterson: I think it’s because of the dollars involved. Like a two-year-old combine that retailed at $280,000 now auctions at $210,000 to $220,000. That’s a big savings. But special items still trigger good money. Two days ago I was in North Dakota. On the list was a 20-year-old White tractor, model 6195 with 5,000 hours and really clean. That tractor brought $52,000. That’s the most money I’ve ever seen for that model. So even though $3 corn is creating lots of negative talk, here was a 20-year-old tractor that brought record money. And certain tractors continue in high favor. On the John Deere side, tractors like the 4440 which now are 30 to 35 years old and new price would have been in $32,000 to $35,000 range; I’ve seen 18 sold on

Credit crunch not imminent, but don’t overextend By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Many farmers and livestock producers are wondering how the crash of commodity prices will impact farming operations. Mark Knisely, CEO of United Farm Credit Services, responded to this issue with assurance that credit will remain available, but cautioned farmers to prepare for down cycles. “Agriculture is a cyclical industry with risks and rewards inherent with the very nature of the business,” said Knisely. “Part of our mission is to counsel with our customers, helping them prepare for these cycles. “Keeping your balance sheet structured right so that you are carrying decent working capital and haven’t overextended yourself is important going into this downward cycle on net farm income. But that also implies that you have the necessary risk management tools in place, such as crop insurance and marketing contracts. Crop insurance isn’t the end all, but it does provide pretty good risk management and risk mitigation.” Knisely acknowledged that corn deliveries this fall and propane availability if corn is wet could be issues. Even with the probability of chaos in the market system this fall, Knisely indicated there is plenty of lending capacity and availability of credit in the marketplace. “I don’t see that as an issue; borrowed capital will be available,” he said. “We’ve come through a cycle
Agriculture is a cyclical industry with risks and rewards inherent with the very nature of the business.
— Mark Knisely of extremely good growth of net worth for grain farmers albeit some stress with livestock was part of this golden cycle. But livestock’s financial posture is corrected. We’re not sensing panic out there. Yes, there might be pockets and some individual operations in a serious credit squeeze, but overall we see producers being level-headed and looking long term. That’s the sensible approach to the credit squeeze that likely will be settling in for producers.” About 70 percent of the portfolio of United Farm Credit Services is grain with the other 30 percent divided amongst the livestock protein sectors — be that hogs, beef, dairy, turkeys. The cooperative also is involved in multi-lender transactions which brings additional diversity into its overall credit portfolio, noted Knisely.

Knisely was straight up on the current excitement in the livestock sector. “It’s a function of demand. Keep consumer demand where it is and it appears livestock will stay healthy. We also see this run on animal protein continuing because grains and feed costs are likely to be lower for an extended time also,” he said. As for the 2015-2018 farm bill, Knisely said that how producers analyze the farm bill is a tough call because of its complexity. He explained that United Farm Credit Services has designated certain staff members to serve as experts on the farm bill; this also includes specially-trained crop insurance experts. “As a service gesture to our customers, we’re hosting several producer meetings where our specialists will explain some of the programs of the new farm legislation,” said Knisely. “But bottom line is still individual counseling because virtually every situation needs to be modeled separately.” Knisely said that staff experts are still learning since many rules of this new farm bill are still being written. “Having the process in place so our people don’t have to play catch up is our strategy as we head into this next cycle,” he said. Mark Knisely was interviewed by The Land at Farmfest in August. ❖
Minnesota crop progress report Minnesota farmers used the 5.8 days suitable for fieldwork to harvest nearly one-fifth of the State’s corn crop and 16 percent of the State’s sunflower crop during the week ending Nov. 9, 2014, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Statistics Service. Despite continued concerns over corn moisture levels, farmers put in long hours during the week harvesting and working on tillage to beat a forecasted winter storm. Ninety percent of Minnesota’s corn acreage was harvested, 10 days ahead of normal. This is the first time this season corn harvest has been ahead of normal. Corn harvest advanced 19 percentage points, the most harvested during this week in November since 2008. Moisture content of harvested corn was estimated at 17 percent, down one point from last week. As for Minnesota’s sunflower acreage, 84 percent was harvested, two days ahead of normal. Sunflower harvest advanced 16 percentage points, allowing harvest progress to move from being five days behind average last week to ahead of normal.

Cattleman calls for common sense, quality beef think we need to look at cattle that can eat less but grow just as much.

Several states have Beef Expos. But we do some things here different than other states and I think our Youth Experience program definitely sets us apart.
— Dar Giess our Youth Experience program definitely sets us apart. Thanks to generous breeders over the past 10 years donating heifers to give to selected youth who apply for these heifers, we’ve now given away 90 heifers. Special thanks to the Minnesota Corn Growers Association and the Minnesota State Cattlemen’s Association for their help in sponsoring this project. Also the University of Minnesota Beef Team puts on a great educational presentation at our Awards Banquet. It gives a lot of young kids’ great insight into how to get started in the Minnesota cattle business. We have a Quiz Bowl Contest; we have a judging contest; we have a Showmanship contest. Our Saturday sale, one of the best in the Upper Midwest, which is when several prospect calves are sold for kids going into 4-H beef business. I’ve been to every Beef Expo since the beginning and it’s great fun to see this show growing; to see the enthusiasm of the parents and the kids. And to see the tremendous dedication of the many volunteers that make this show work so great. ■ Assisting at the Beef Expo was Giess’s wife, Lynn Giess, who is the communications director for the North American South Devon Association. Daughter Leah Giess, a high school senior, is used to helping her dad at this show and others. Son Lane Giess, a senior at Kansas State University, helps coach the Lynn Giess KSU meats judging team. And at this 2014 Beef Expo, the Giess family donated a purebred South Devon heifer for the Minnesota Youth Beef Experience Program. Commenting on today’s cattle prices, Giess suggested that the 90 heifers which have been donated by individual producers since the start of the Minnesota Youth Beef Expe- Leah Giess rience Program would total about $250,000 of value. “Figure in the combined income that these heifers have produced over the past 10 years and you’re likely looking at over $1 million,” said Giess. “That’s a big number for our producers statewide to donate these heifers for the betterment of our entire beef industry. My congratulations to all the people, especially Mark and Claudine Goodrich, who really were the organizers of this youth program and continue to donate heifers from their own cattle operation. Those are the people who really do make dreams come true.” ❖

Youth beef program helping dreams come true By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Created in 2004, the Minnesota Youth Beef Experience Program is a unique and exciting segment of the annual Minnesota Beef Expo. Ten young students at the 2014 Expo went home with heifers proudly taking ownership of these individual animals donated by cattle producers.
“One of the main goals of the Minnesota Beef Expo, which began in 2000, was to identify original ideas to inspire young people to become involved in the cattle industry,” said Claudine Goodrich, who with husband Mark, have been key facilitators of this program since its inception. “Those Minnesota Beef Expo board members realized each had an important mentor while they were growing up who helped guide them in the right direction.

Mark and Claudine Goodrich have been key leaders of the Minnesota Youth Beef Experience Program.
“Therefore these board members wanted to generate a program that not only provided a heifer to a young person but also encourage that young person to connect with a knowledgeable cattle person. To date more than 60 donors and recipients have been united. This program effectively helps young people fulfill their dreams to become beef operators and helps advance their goals to someday become part of this great industry.” That pride and potential partially stemmed from experiences of the Goodrich expanding beef operation on their Emerald, Wis., Angus and Red Angus beef farm. “We had a young neighbor kid, Peter Heebink, helping us. We decided that one way to show our appreciation would be to give him a heifer because he loved cattle. We gave him one of our Angus heifers. We saw how excited he was about now having his own heifer,” said Goodrich. She also mentioned that her husband, Mark, worked at Kelly Farms near Scandia, Minn., as a young boy. “Mark thoroughly enjoyed that youth experience and learned so much from his mentor at Kelly Farms,” she said. “That mentorship meant so much to him and we could see the same impact when we gave our heifer to Peter. So that got us thinking, why can’t we duplicate this experience through the Beef Expo? “Cattle people love to give back. And our State Board at that time was so receptive of the idea so here we are today. There aren’t as many young people involved in the cattle industry anymore because its tough work, it’s expensive, and you need the right mentoring program.” Goodrich said Heebink is now married, has a lovely wife, two beautiful children and equally important, 20 head of cattle. In 2004, the Minnesota Youth Beef Experience Program’s first year, four heifers were given away. “And every year since then we’ve had kind, generous cattle people who offer animals to give away for our MYBEP,” said Goodrich. “With eight new recipients this year we’ve now reached 90 heifers. My goal for next year is 10 more to reach that 100 mark and See YOUTH, pg. 17A

grow as a future livestock producer.” Summed up Goodrich, “Until this year heifers were in that $400 to $500 category. Now they are between $2,500 to $3,000. What these good donors are giving away is not just the dollar value but it’s the genetics; the fact that these are registered animals and breeders spend hours and days of their lives studying genetics and matching, mating, figuring out how to get the best animal possible. So this each year shows the tremendous generosity of our beef industry people.” Industry support included:

YOUTH, from pg. 16A I’m sure we can.” What are the criteria to apply for a MYBEP heifer? • 12-16 years of age as of Sept. 8, 2014. • A member in good Dylan Smith standing of 4-H, FFA or breed association. • Must demonstrate a commitment to agriculture. • Must have clearly defined future goals. • Must establish financial need. • Must show an ability to raise the animal in a proper setting. Each recipient is responsible for raising, breeding and maintaining complete records on their animal. Also each provides monthly reports to the ‘donor’ of their heifer and the Minnesota Beef Expo staff. Dylan Smith, rural Benson, was a 2013 recipient. His Angus heifer named Misty was bred May 27. She was bred to an Angus sire out of Select Sires provided to him as part of being an EXPO heifer winner. “She stuck on the first straw so I’ve got my second straw for her next breeding,” said Smith.

Grain Outlook No news to move the market
Livestock Angles Volatility is alive and well
Grain Angles Small ‘wins’ an investment
The following market analysis is for the week ending Nov. 7. CORN — Corn traded entirely with last week’s range with little fresh news to move the market ahead of the monthly U.S. Department of Agriculture crop report on Nov. 10. The average production guess is 14.551 billion bushels using a 175.2 bushels per acre yield. In October, the USDA was using a 174.2 bu./acre yield to reach a 14.475 billion bushel production figure. U.S. ending stocks for 2014-15 are projected at 2.135 billion bushels versus USDA’s previous estimate of 2.081 bil- PHYLLIS NYSTROM lion bushels. World ending CHS Hedging Inc. St. Paul stocks for 2014-15 are estimated at 190.8 million metric tons. The new month brought light fund selling and an increase in grower selling. Better flat prices, and the end of free time that many growers get at elevators to decide whether to sell or store, coincided to pressure the market. Weekly export sales were dismal at 18.8 million bushels and again the lowest of the marketing year. We are now 12 percent behind last year when the USDA is projecting just a nine percent decline in export sales. This suggests that the USDA will need to lower the export category on the balance sheets. It is unlikely to happen on the November report, however. Ground piles on the farm are being reported, much more than in past years. The staggered harvest due to rain interruptions allowed both growers and elevators time to condition corn and find a home for it.
Volatility is still alive and well in the livestock markets as we move into the month of November. The erratic movement and the large swings in price on a weekly basis seem to be the norm these days. As for the cattle market it would appear that the market is at another crossroads in regards to moving higher or in for a setback. One week the price paid by the packer is into new high ground and the next week the prices paid are lower. This reflects some inconsistency in demand for beef at these higher levels by the consumer. Each time the beef cutout reaches over the $250.00 per hundredweight JOE TEALE level, the demand for beef prodBroker uct retreats. This despite the fact Great Plains Commodity that cattle numbers are tight at Afton, Minn. the present time. With hog, chicken and turkey numbers increasing at the present, the competition is more pronounced at the retail level. The question then will be whether the consumer of beef will switch to cheaper protein sources or stick with the more expensive beef. This dilemma will be settled at the meat counter by the consumer in the weeks ahead. There will continue to be reluctance by the packer to pay the higher price for live inventory when they are currently in the red on their profit margins. All of these factors will continue to keep the cattle market very unsettled and price discovery will be very erratic as packers fill their needs. The cash and futures markets could very well reflect this uncertainty by moving very independent of each other in the weeks ahead. Producers should continue to moni-

The hog market, on the other hand, has not been as erratic as the cattle since prices have been on a consistent decline for several weeks. As numbers have increased, the packer has had ample supplies to fill the production needs of the retail buyers. This has brought about a significant drop in cash hog prices over the past few months. At the same time, the pork cutouts have experienced a large price decline as inventories of product increased. Because of the disparity between beef and pork prices, the consumer may begin to lean more toward the pork product because of this price difference. It appears that the retailers are featuring more pork than beef because of this price differential. If this switch away from beef to more pork becomes a reality at the retail level, this could help stabilize the decline in hog prices in the weeks ahead. The futures market has anticipated this by the discounts that are reflected in the deferred contracts. Producers should continue to monitor market conditions and protect inventories as warranted. ❖

2014-15 crop year are estimated at 442 million bushels versus the 450 million forecasted last month by the USDA. The world ending stocks number for 2014-15 is estimated at 90.4 mmt. January soybeans were down 12 1/2 cents for the week to settle at $10.36 3⁄4 per bushel, December meal was up $1.40 at $390.40 and December soyoil was down 2.4 points at 32.40. OUTLOOK: The tight cash meal market has not yet been solved, but momentum waned this week to allow soybeans a small correction lower. On a 10-year seasonal chart, January soybean prices tend to move lower through the first half of November, then trend sideways through December. Overall, the world is well supplied with South American planting underway. The next direction will be influenced by the Nov. 10 USDA report, but it may be difficult to see a bullish report. Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ended Nov. 7: Chicago December wheat fell 18 cents, Minneapolis collapsed 28 cents and Kansas City tumbled 24 1⁄2 cents per bushel. December crude oil lost $1.89 per barrel to close at $78.54, its first weekly close under $80 since June 2012. December ultra-low-sulfur diesel and reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending each closed down about 1 1⁄4 cents per gallon. December natural gas benefited from cold forecasts to rally 53 1⁄2 cents. For the Nov. 10 USDA report, U.S. wheat ending stocks for 201415 are estimated at 660 million bushels compared to last month’s 654 million bushels. World wheat ending stocks for 2014-15 are forecast at 192.2 mmt. The Dow hit a record 17,575 this week. ❖

need to average just 10 million bushels per week in exports to achieve the current 1.7 billion bushel estimate. Turning to soybean inspections (what actually is being shipped), they hit a record 101.8 million bushels for the week ended Oct. 30. Beans are being shipped from virtually every port, not only the center Gulf and Pacific Northwest, but also from north Texas, the East Gulf Coast and the St. Lawrence Seaway. The large soybean inspections eat away elevator space for corn and wheat, which accounts for the lowest corn and wheat inspection numbers for the marketing year. On the meal export sale side, cancellations that have been talked about were finally confirmed. Weekly export meal sales showed net cancellations of 124 thousand metric tons. After an initial negative reaction, the big bean sales pulled meal higher along with it. No one is anticipating any big change for exports on this month’s USDA report, but if this pace continues, we’ll be looking for it on subsequent reports. China’s crush margins have returned to positive after trading in the red in the first half of the year. China’s National Grain and Oils Information Center expects their bean imports in December to grow to 6.8 mmt from 5.81 mmt this month. Farmer selling in Brazil picked up this week as their currency fell. Argentina bean crop is roughly 78 percent planted versus 15 percent on average. The average trade projection for the Nov. 10 crop production report is a crop of 3.967 billion bushels with a yield of 47.6 bu./acre. The USDA numbers in October pegged a yield of 47.1 bu./acre for a crop of 3.927 billion bushels. U.S. ending stocks for the

NYSTROM, from pg. 18A Argentina issued 8 million metric tons of corn export quotas this week which will go into effect March 15, 2015. Quotas can be issued at any time. The USDA is forecasting Argentina’s corn exports at 15 mmt, suggesting they anticipate future quotas to be released. The U.S. attaché in Argentina is forecasting a 14 percent drop in their corn acres this year versus the USDA expectation for a seven percent decline. U.S. weekly ethanol production was down 8,000 barrels per day to 929,000 barrels per day. Ethanol stocks in the week ended Oct. 31 were five million gallons higher than the previous week at 721 million gallons. OUTLOOK: The Nov. 10 USDA report may set the tone for the balance of the month, but harvest is reaching completion and the last 20 percent of harvested bushels usually move to the market as farm space fills. December corn has a short-term range of $3.42 to $3.81 per bushel. For the week, it closed 9 1⁄4 cents lower at $3.67 1⁄2 per bushel. Overall, I would expect prices to see some late-harvest hedge pressure in the next week or two. We’ll have to wait and see if the USDA supports ideas for a bigger crop than already anticipated, but a weaker market may be in the cards absent a friendly report. SOYBEANS — Soybeans broke lower this week after five consecutive higher weekly closes. The approaching completion of harvest and fund selling prompted some of the sell-off, but the sharp midweek pull back in meal prices was the major factor behind the decline. The tremendous soybean export sales halted the slide. Bean harvest is winding down with harvest expected to hit 90 percent complete as of Nov. 9. Weekly export sales were huge and gave beans a brief respite in the latter half of the week from their trek lower. Sales were 59.2 million bushels, much higher than expectations. Total export commitments are running 7 percent ahead of last year when the USDA is forecasting a 3.2 percent increase. Virtually all of the new sales this week were for China. We

higher cash rental rates that are currently being charged. In addition, crop input costs for seed, fertilizer, chemicals, fuel, and crop drying are not projected to decline much in 2015, as compared to the 2014 crop year. An alternative to the straight-out cash rental rates FARM PROGRAMS that may be difficult to cash flow for 2015 and beyond, may By Kent Thiesse be for producers and landlords to consider a flexible cash lease rental agreement, which allows the final cash rental rate to vary as market prices and/or crop yields vary, or as gross revenue per acre exceeds established targets. The use of a flexible cash rental lease is potentially fairer to both the landlord and the farm operator, depending on the situation, and how the flexible lease is set up. A true flexible cash lease allows for the landlord to receive additional land rental payments above a base land rental rate, if the actual crop yields and market prices, or the gross revenue per acre, exceed established base figures. A true flexible cash lease would also allow for the base rent to be adjusted downward, if the actual crop yields and prices, or revenue per acre, fall below the established base figures. However, many flexible leases have been modified in recent years, and only flex upward with added rental payment to the landlords, if the base crop yield and/or prices, or revenue per acre, are exceeded. The modified base rent plus a bonus approach is acceptable if the base cash rental rates are kept within a reasonable range. Flexible leases also work well for newer or younger farm operators that may not be able to afford the higher cash rental rates for farm land. A flexible lease makes it easier for producers to utilize risk management tools such as crop revenue insurance policies and forward pricing of grain. Most ag lenders are quite supportive of the use of flexible leases by farm operators in order to reduce financial risk in a farming operation. A flexible lease, with a fair base rental rate, allows landlords the security of a solid base rental rate, while having the opportunity to share in added profits when crop prices and/or yields exceed expectations. Flexible leases are a nice alternative for landlords that want to continue to work with long-standing farm operators, without setting cash rental rates too high to keep the current tenants. Base rent determination One of the biggest challenges with flexible cash rental leases is determining the base rent per acre, which in most instances to determine minimum rental rate for the year on a land parcel. The base rate should be adjusted upward or downward annually, depending on changes in crop price expectations, average crop yields, or the projected break-evens for crop production for the coming year.

possibly a minimum) cash rent per acre, as well as the method that will be used to determine the flexible rent payments. Typically maximum annual rental rates in a flexible lease arrangement are set at $50-$125 above the base rental rate. Setting base yields, prices, revenues, and expenses for flexible leases Many flexible cash leases require a base yield of some type. The easiest method to get a base yield is to use the crop insurance APH yield described earlier, which is updated annually. Another alternative to determine a base yield for a crop could be using the producer’s actual verified annual production on a farm, which is averaged over a period of years. Actual yield calculation in a given year on the farm can be determined by warehouse receipts, settlement sheets, scale tickets, bin measurements, grain cart weigh wagons, yield monitors, or any other method that is acceptable to both the landlord and farm operator. Many times, yield determination requires a certain degree of trust level between the landlord and the farm operator. As mentioned earlier, the base price for a crop could be the new crop price at the local grain elevator or processing plant for that crop on a specified date (March 1 or April 1 for corn and soybeans), and the final price is the price for that crop at the same location on a specified date in the fall (Oct. 15). In some cases a weekly or monthly average price at the local level from planting to harvest is used to determine the final price. Another alternative that is easy to follow, is to use the crop insurance expected harvest price for a crop on March 1 as the base price for the flexible lease and the crop insurance harvest price on Nov. 1 as the final price, which are based on Chicago Board of

PROGRAMS, from pg. 20A establish the base rental rate is to have a rental rate per acre that is agreeable to both the landlord and farm operator. Following are some suggested ways to arrive at a base rent for a flexible lease. • Most land grant universities, and some farm management associations, publish annual average land rental rates on a yearly basis. One possibility may be to take the average of the three most recent years for a county or area as a base rent; however, some of these average rental rates may be a bit high, given the projected lower corn and soybean prices for 2015. • Many universities and farm management groups also publish crop budget projections for the coming year, which could also be used as a resource for arriving at an equitable base rental rate. A base rental rate needs to be able to work for a crop production cash flow projection for the farm operator, and as they secure farm operating credit from their ag lender. • Another way to determine a base rental rate could be to take a flat percentage of the crop insurance actual production history yield on a farm times the expected harvest price, prior to the growing season (around March 1). The expected harvest price could be the expected crop insurance harvest price, which is announced on March 1 each year, and is the average February price for December corn futures and November soybean futures. Another alternative is to use the local grain elevator or processing plant price on or around March 1. The key is that whatever price source is used to set the base rent, is also used to determine the final rental rate, and that both the farm operator and landlord agree to the grain price source. The normal percentage used to determine the base rental rate would be approximately 30 percent of the APH for corn, and 40 percent of the APH for soybeans. Since the rotation and crops planted each year change, it is probably fairest to just do a 50/50 split on the calculated rent for corn and soybeans, if both crops are typically raised over a period of years. However, if a farm typically raises almost all corn each year, adjustments might be needed. Adjustments also need to be made for other crops, such as small grains, canning crops, sugar beets, etc. See the APH example above. Many flexible leases also contain a maximum (and

Landlord, farmer must fully understand lease PROGRAMS, from pg. 21A Trade futures prices. Whatever method is used to determine both the base and final prices should be consistent, using either local cash prices, or the crop insurance prices. With the occurrence of much higher crop input costs in recent years, some flexible cash leases have been modified, and are now based on gross revenue triggers that exceed the cost of production, rather than on crop yield and price triggers. In this type of lease, the landlord only receives additional cash rental payments beyond the base rent when the final gross revenue per acre (yield times price) exceeds the established cost of production for the year. Typically, the added flex rent payment to the landlord would be a set percentage of the added gross revenue per acre above the established cost of production per acre, which is usually around 30-35 percent for corn, and about 35-40 percent for soybeans, with a maximum rental rate per acre. Just as with crop yields and prices, determining the established cost of production for a crop for the year can be a challenge. Some possibilities would be to use cash flow statements for the year prepared by a farm management advisor, ag lender, or the producer themselves. Again many universities and farm management associations have average cost of production data available.
There also probably needs to be allowances in a flexible lease to allow for added costs or expenses due to weather or emergencies. Flexible lease examples There are many variations to setting up a flexible lease agreement between a landlord and farm operator, including using yield only, price only, or a base crop revenue compared to a harvest crop revenue, with or without using cost of production, and many more. The big key, regardless of the flexible lease agreement, is that both the landlord and tenant fully understand the rental agreement, and the calculations that are used to determine the final rental rate. It is also very important that flexible lease agreements, as well as all land rental contracts, be finalized with a written agreement. Following are examples of flexible cash rental lease calculations for corn and soybeans in the Upper Midwest: • Cash rental contract with a base cash rental rate ($200 per acre), plus the farm operator will pay the landlord an additional percentage (35 percent for corn and 40 percent for soybeans) of the amount that the final crop revenue (final yield times Oct. 15 local price) exceeds the base crop revenue (crop insurance APH yield times April 1 new crop local price). • Cash rental contract with a base cash rental rate ($200 per acre), plus the producer will pay the landlord an
additional amount ($25 per acre), if actual yield exceeds the APH crop insurance yield by 10 percent or more. (Corn example — APH of 180 bushels per acre, and final yield of 198 bushels per acre or higher.) • Cash rental contract with a base cash rental rate ($200 per acre), plus the producer will pay the landlord an additional amount ($25 per acre), if harvest-time (Oct. 15) local grain price exceeds the base (April 1 local grain price) by 10 percent or more. (Soybean example = $9.50/bu. local price on April 1, and Oct. 15 price of $10.50/bu. or higher.) There could be additional steps built in for higher price levels. • Cash rental contract with a base cash rental rate ($200 per acre), plus the landlord will receive 35 percent of the excess bushels for corn yields that exceed 180 bushels per acre (APH), and 40 percent of the excess bushels for soybean yields that exceed 45 bu./acre (APH). The landlord would receive the fall market price on those bushels at the local grain elevator or processing plant. (final corn yield of 210 bu./acre would result in landlord receiving 10.5 bushels of corn (30 bu. times 0.35) x $4 per bushel (estimated) = $42 per acre (bonus rent). • Cash rental contract with a base cash rental rate (ex. = $200.00 per acre), and the producer will pay the landlord an additional 35 percent of the difference between final gross crop revenue (if higher) than the base crop insurance revenue (APH x April 1 local price). Soybean Example Base Revenue = $450/acre (45 bu./acre x $10/bu.) Final Revenue = $522.50/acre (55 bu./acre x $9.50/bu.) Final Cash Rent = $290.25 per acre ($522.50/acre - $450/acre = $72.50/acre x 0.35 = $25.38/acre + $200.00/acre = $225.38/acre) • A price only example would be to use the APH for each crop on a farm times the expected crop insurance harvest price on March 1, which is based on CBOT futures prices, and then to use the actual crop insurance harvest price (Nov. 1), along with the same APH yield and formula to determine the final rental rate. If the final harvest price is lower than the March 1 price for both corn and soybeans, the base rent would be the final rent. Base Rent (Corn) 180 bu./acre x 0.30 x $4/bu. x
MARKETING
0.50 = $108.00/acre (Soybeans) 45 bu./acre x 0.40 x $10/bu. x 0.50 = $ 90.00/acre Base Rent = $198/acre Final Rent (Corn) 180 bu./acre x 0.30 x $5/bu. x 0.50 = $135.00/acre (Soybeans) 45 bu./acre x 0.40 x $12.00/bu. x 0.50 = $108.00/acre Final Rent = $243 per acre • Cash rental contract with a base cash rental rate ($200 per acre), with no additional provisions; however, the producer decides to give the landlord an additional $25-$100 per acre land rent because of excellent crop yields, and/or very good commodity prices.

Please e-mail kent.thiesse@minnstarbank.com for additional information and resources on flexible land rental leases. Bottom line Utilizing flexible cash lease agreements between farm operators and landlords can be a good management strategy as an alternative to extremely high straight cash rental rates; however, these agreements need to be fair and equitable to all parties. Landlords also need to be willing to adjust the base cash rental rates lower, if necessary, as the projected crop margins become much tighter in 2015. It is extremely important that all aspects of a flexible land rental lease agreement, including base rent, yield and price determination, as well as other aspects of a flex lease, be detailed in a written rental contract, which is signed by all parties. Successful flexible cash lease agreements, just as any other long-term cash rental agreement, have always involved cooperation, trust, and good communication between the farm operator and the landlord.

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent Finally, a cookbook for people like me who want to know everything about peppers but were afraid to ask — or taste! “The Great Pepper Cookbook,” an eye-popper of a book from the California organics company Melissa’s Produce (Oxmoor House, 2014), put all my pepper-related fears to rest with 140 colorful recipes and downto-earth advice about these magical, but sometimes daunting, ingredients. Most importantly for me, the book contains a pictorial guide to fresh and dried peppers, an invaluable aid for when I find myself staring at a pile of unfamiliar peppers and wondering, “Huh?” Included are descriptions of each variety’s flavor, hotness, uses and substitutions, from the zero-heat bell peppers to the “insanely hot” ghost and scorpion peppers. Recipes are featured for entrees, side dishes, sandwiches, soups and brunches, of course, but also included are some refreshing chile-infused suggestions in the beverage and dessert categories. These intriguing flavors from our Latin American neighbors are making their way north to us, and we are all the richer for it. ■ Orzo is a tiny pasta similar in shape and size to a grain of rice. One good way to serve it is to boil it and butter it and toss it with whatever you have on hand, including this variation with broccoli, feta cheese and a variety of mild, sweet peppers. I served this dish both as a hot side dish and again the next day as a cold salad, and the votes were unanimous both times: Four out of four “yums up” from the Johnson clan, plus extra points for its unexpected versatility. Veggie Orzo 1 (16-ounce) package orzo pasta 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 small sweet onion, finely diced (about 1⁄2 cup) 2 bunches baby broccoli, trimmed and chopped (about 1 pound) 6 fresh cherry bell chile peppers, stems and seeds removed, sliced into thin rounds (about 1⁄2 pound) 1 fresh red bell pepper and 1 fresh yellow bell pepper, stems and seeds removed, diced (about 1⁄2 cup each) 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 1⁄2 cups crumbled feta cheese (about 6 ounces) Salt Freshly ground black pepper Prepare orzo according to package directions. Drain. Heat butter and oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and broccoli; cook until onion is translucent, stirring occasionally, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add peppers and garlic; cook until vegetables are slightly tender, about 5 minutes. In a bowl, combine orzo, feta and cooked vegetables; add salt and black pepper to taste. Toss together. Serve. ■

Plants bring nature, energy, balance into your home Mother-in-law’s tongue is a house plant that is currently enjoying a surge in popularity. It gives an undeserved bad rap to mothersin-law because of the sharpness of its pointed IN THE GARDEN leaves. It is freBy Sharon Quale quently used as a set decoration in movies and TV shows because of its toughness and large dominant presence. It is also known as the “snake plant” but its official name is Sansevieria trifasciata. My Sansevieria is old and has been moved to new houses several times. It started as a small plant given to me by a friend when she divided hers. It has been in many different locations but it seems to be happiest in a north window in the summer and a west window in the winter. It thrives on neglect and stays attractive with only an occasional leaf cleaning with a damp cloth. According to Feng Shui (the Chinese practice of creating harmonious surroundings by directing energy) Sansivieria plants can be used for Feng Shui purposes in homes because the leaves grow upwards. All kinds of plants emit a positive energy in our homes and help to cleanse the air. Plants convert carbon dioxide to oxygen and also trap and absorb pollutants. Large green plants can disguise harsh angles as well as create transitions from one area to another. Green is the color of nature and is considered the most restful of colors. It is associated with learning, growth and harmony. I read that green is a favored color of well-balanced people. It is now my favorite hue. Green is a safe color and if you don’t know what color to use somewhere, select green. Plants change with growth and that ability to sustain change is a key to the energy the color green emits. Of course green is also the color of money. House plants have been around for a long time and the Sansivieria began its original popularity in the United States when Woolworth Drugstores began selling them in the 1950s. Shopping malls, restaurants and many public buildings use them for ornamenta-

tion because of their dramatic shape and easy care. Growth is comparatively slow and the plants are long lived. Some tips for growing include: • Place in an east, west or north window about a foot away from the window. • Turn the pot a quarter turn every week for even light exposure. • Water sparingly. (More house plants die from overwatering than from anything else.) • Fertilize once in the spring with houseplant fertilizer mixed according to the label. • Transplant when the plant gets too big for the pot. They don’t mind being root bound but when the roots start to grow out the drain holes it is time to repot. It has been estimated that people spend about 90 percent of their time indoors during the colder winter months. Growing house plants is an engaging hobby as well as a great way to create a restful environment that will enhance a sense of well being. To enjoy a fresh new sense of balance and harmony get some great new plants for your home or office. Put some green in your life. Sharon Quale is a master gardener from central Minnesota.

Turkey truths for Thanksgiving Check out these turkey myth busters. Myth: Turkeys are pumped full of added hormones and steroids so they fatten up quickly. Truth: All turkeys in the United States are raised without any added hormones and steroids. There are no hormones or steroids approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in poultry and haven't been since the 1950s. Turkeys are fed a healthy diet of whole and pelleted grains as well as vitamins. Feed for turkeys comes from Minnesota’s soybean and corn farmers. Turkeys always have access to fresh, clean water. Myth: Turkeys are cooped up in barns, so close together they can't move. Truth: Turkeys are raised in barns that provide a safe, comfortable home with plenty of space to move around. Barns, which are specially designed just for turkeys, keep predators away, help farmers control germs and diseases from getting to the birds, and allow maximum comfort. Turkeys stay cool in the summer, warm in the winter and dry during inclement weather. Turkeys are not raised in cages. Myth: The use of antibiotics in turkey production doesn't have any oversight and turkey farmers use a litany of antibiotics regardless of whether their birds are sick or healthy. Truth: Antibiotic use in turkeys is overseen by veterinarians and follows strict guidelines. Approved antibiotics in poultry production can be used to individually treat sick birds; control disease within an entire flock that has sick birds in it; and prevent disease completely. Depending on the situation, a farmer may choose to treat only the birds that are sick with antibiotics, but it is also true that a farmer may want to administer antibiotics to an entire flock after some sick birds in the flock are diagnosed. As is the case with humans and germs, sick birds can spread illness to healthy birds quickly so sometimes the best way to ensure a flock stays as healthy as possible is to treat all the birds with medication. Some poultry companies have announced they are ending the use of See TURKEY, pg. 29A

TURKEY, from pg. 28A antibiotics for the overall prevention of disease; however, they will continue to use antibiotics as needed to treat sick birds and control disease within an entire flock because it's the right thing to do for the birds. Turkey farmers feel it is the humane thing to do to treat sick birds with antibiotics, if that is the treatment prescribed by a veterinarian. We don't know any farmer who wants to see his or her birds suffer from illness. If antibiotics are prescribed to a flock, there is a mandatory withdrawal period and random testing by U.S. Department of Agriculture before the birds can be processed, insuring that there are absolutely no antibiotic residues in the birds when they go to market. Myth: There are very few family farmers who raise turkeys. Truth: Most turkey farms are operated by family farmers. Minnesota has the most independent turkey farmers of any U.S. state. and many of our 450 turkey farmers are third, fourth and even fifth generation farm families. Myth: Eating turkey makes you very tired. Truth: No, it’s not the turkey’s fault! Recent studies have shown that it is more likely a large, carbohydrate-rich meal — like the kind we eat at Thanksgiving — rather than just the turkey that causes sleepiness. A carb-heavy meal like this releases tryptophans in the brain, causing drowsiness. Myth: I have to get up at 4 a.m. to roast the turkey for Thanksgiving. Truth: Not these days! A whole turkey (unstuffed) that's 8-12 pounds will take 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 hours to roast (a little longer if you stuff the turkey), so if you are planning a noon feast, you do not have to get up at 4 a.m. And remember, the best measurement of doneness is with a meat thermometer that reaches 180 degrees in the thigh and 165 degrees in the breast. This article was submitted by the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association. ❖

ast May, Torkwase Dyson was digging a hole at the Franconia Sculpture Park in Chisago County, Minn. She would dig a little and then pump the water out of the hole. Then dig some more. “I’ve worked on worse installations,” the New York City sculptor said as a light rain fell on her. Dyson had come to work at Franconia under a Jerome Foundation Fellowship. She described the project she was working on as a combination of landscape and physical architecture that would involve engineering challenges. Many of the dozens of sculptures at Franconia look like they involved solving difficult engineering problems. There is, for an example, a 25-foottall sculpture with large steel I-beams and two mining excavation shovels. There is also a ramshackle barn hanging at a precarious angle in midair. It is suspended by cables or something. “I really don’t like that,” a visitor said. “It’s too strange.” It may be strange, but it poses some interesting questions like: How did they do that? Why doesn’t it just fall apart? Another sculptor has created a work where she seems to have peeled the earth back. The sod hangs about 10 or 12 inches above the soil. If you get down on your hands and knees you can peer under the sod and see what’s going on. Doesn’t that strike you as an attempt to answer a child’s question: Dad, what is going on under the surface of the earth? I don’t know honey. Maybe we should peel it back and look. Most people grow up and forget those questions. But people like Dyson, and her colleagues from around the world who come to work at Franconia, grow up, study engineering, physics, and art and keep asking those questions. Kids like digging in the mud and so do engineers with a master’s in fine arts from Yale. Franconia is a playground for adults with the complex and interesting questions that only kids have the imagination to ask. In case you don’t believe it is a playground, there is a stockade with long black cannons pointing out of it. The stockade protects the house and the play station that just landed from Jupiter. It leans badly and the cannons are poised to shoot low flying pirates. It is clearly the work 12- and 13-yearolds. Or not? Visit www.franconia.org and check it out. ❖

Dairy tour highlights milking, animal health large footprint in the cheese industry worldwide. Home to 4,000 Jersey cows and young stock, New Sweden utilizes a 72-cow carousel. A unique aspect of the New Sweden Dairy is its role as a teaching and research facility for the University of Minnesota. University nutritionists and veterinary medicine professionals are involved in projects at New Sweden. From an observation deck overlooking the 72-cow carousel, Jessica Yost, educational coordinator with the University of Minnesota, shared these items: • Since Davis Family Dairies only uses milk for cheese production at the Le Sueur cheese factory, Jersey is the preferred breed. Jerseys are smaller, eat less, produce less manure and though they also produce less milk — like 66 pounds per day versus 75 pounds per day from a Holstein — the higher fat content of Jersey milk results in more cheese per cow. • The milk delivery schedule is three tanker trucks per day.

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer During South Central College’s first dairy industry tour on Oct. 28, participants learned on-site and gained insight into the changing dairy industry by visiting a large scale and a smaller family operation. “Our intent is to provide a tour of interest and intrigue to our college students and also high school students about the many facets of agriculture. Most simply don’t realize the huge scope of agriculture,” said Sara Hewitt, project coordinator of the Southern Minnesota Center of Agriculture Excellence which involves the North Mankato and Worthington campuses. Leaving the North Mankato campus, a comfort travel bus headed to New Sweden Dairy near Nicollet, Minn.; Annexstad Dairy Farm, St. Peter, Minn.; and Udder Tech, a Lakeville firm specializing in clothing and gloves for the dairy industry.

• Free stall housing uses sand with manure vacuumed out daily. Sand is separated from the liquid portion, dried and recycled for additional usage as bedding. Liquid manure is injected into about 4,000 acres of neighboring farmland. This liquid manure is free to participating farmers but they pay for the injection costs. These same farmers are also contract growers for the thousands of tons of corn silage and alfalfa used by New Sweden Dairy. • An extensive video monitoring system is continually checking all animals. Each day, 25-30 calves are born. Birth weights are recorded. Heifer calves are tagged; bull calves are purchased by a local farmer. Newborns are kept in a 60 degrees space for the first few days, then transferred to a calf ranch site for early growth; then trucked to Texas for next growth stage. Why Texas? More comfortable climate and a more affordable environment in terms of housing, forage and grazing costs. Also artificial insemination and vaccinations are administered at the Texas location. Heifers are then trucked back to Minnesota for calving. Once ready for the milking line, cows are transferred to one of the three Minnesota milking centers. Annexstad Dairy Farm Annexstad Dairy Farm, a 200-cow
family operation, features a double-9 herringbone parlor and free stall housing with a two-man crew milking at 4:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Colostrum milk, known as liquid gold, is gathered, pasteurized, then frozen and kept refrigerated until needed for newly born calves. A single 10-cow parlor is used for milking cows that have been medicated with antibiotics. At Annexstad Dairy, Mike Annexstad said about 175-180 cows are in the milking line each day. They average 3 to 3 1⁄2 lactations per animal and are right at a 28,000 pound rolling herd average on a two-times milking schedule. The current milking barn dates back to 1996 which was a tie-stall barn at that time. But a holding pen at one end and a calf-feeding space plus that 18cow parlor now occupy the other end. The farm dates back to the Depression when Annexstad’s grandparents purchased the property with cows already in place. His parents took over the operation in 1959. Now Mike and his brother Rohlf Annexstad manage the farm with help from family members, plus two full-time hired men. The farm includes 500 acres of cropland, mostly corn and alfalfa along with some canning peas. Sizing up the See DAIRY TOUR, pg. 3B

— Mike Annexstad with our horizontal bunkers, we have enough storage to be mostly using second-year silage for the milking herd. We also use earlage stored in horizontal wrapped containers as part of our TMR ration,” Annexstad said. He credits the seed industry with significant improvements in the digestibility of their hybrids best suited for silage. The fiber is more digestible and changes in the starch of the kernels also are improving digestibility and feed value, Annexstad said. Distiller’s dried grains has been part of their feeding regime since an area ethanol facility started in 2006. Annexstad offered a word of caution with distiller’s grains “…because cows like the stuff, they’ll eat lots of it but its hard on fat tests of your milk. It’s just like kids eating candy.” A 3.7-3.9 percent fat test is their desired milk level. Every two days when the milk truck arrives their

is why Annexstad likes to minimize moving of cows between groups. They keep younger animals which are typically first-calf heifers as a separate group from older animals. “It sort of boils down to simple physics — that 1,100-pound heifer is easily intimidated standing next to an 1,800-pound cow,” said Annexstad.

trucker can provide milk tests. “So if the test is up or down, we can adjust our ration quickly by taking out some corn, or adding more corn. Like if we’re switching from high-moisture corn to dry corn, or switching to new haylage, we can adjust accordingly based on milk tests,” Annexstad said. Whether it’s 4,000 cows at New Sweden or 200 cows at Annexstad, cows establish their own social system. That

DAIRY TOUR, from pg. 2B crop year 2014, Mike said there were some drowned spots, but where water didn’t prevail, this turned out to be a surprisingly good crop year with corn silage yields of around 23 tons per acre and grain corn doing 150 to 180 bushels. “This surprised us considering the late spring and the cool summer,” he said. There was no winter kill on the alfalfa and four good crops off their alfalfa fields this year. Manure is both injected and top spread depending upon timing during the season. The Annexstads use sand bedding and are working on a longterm manure storage system, which would permit injecting all the manure. “Compared to straw or saw dust, sand is low-cost bedding and with the right equipment sand can be reclaimed and reused. We’re not using a bedded pack system but sand is six to eight inches deep in the free stall housing building,” said Annexstad. Cows get fed three times daily at Annexstad Dairy with largest feeding in the middle of the day. “After the evening milking, I’ll feed about three-fourths of a load of TMR just to refresh feed still available; then again during the morning milking we feed the rest of that TMR load,” he said. Annexstad noted that aged corn silage is better than new. “The bacteria in corn silage are continuously working, breaking down the fiber and making it more digestible. So

Family dairy trends toward medium-size cows DAIRY TOUR, from pg. 3B Cull cows go to a local buyer at Zumbrota, and perhaps from there to a large dairy processing plant in the Green Bay, Wis., area. The Annexstads are pleased about cow prices these days. “A cull cow today is almost worth the price of a springing heifer. With these prices, and now cheaper feed costs too, we’re culling tightly. Also we have so many heifers coming up so older cows are getting pushed pretty hard,” said Annexstad. Because cows spend lots of time on concrete, Annexstad said they pay lots of attention to feet and legs. “We’re trending toward a more medium sized cow — backing down from 1,800-pound mature cows to 1,600-pound animals. That makes a difference in wear and tear on feet and legs,” said Annexstad.

They also use ground-up soybean bales and corn silage for bedding for the dry cows. Mastitis is kept in check by strip testing each animal before putting on milkers. Annexstad uses two antibiotics that are injected directly into the teats of infected animals. “We take a milk sample to our local vet’s office to identify the organisms we’re dealing with and then make antibiotic choice accordingly,” said Annexstad. They use Genex AI semen with breeding by a local technician. Mike and Rohlf Annexstad look at bull stud histories via computer software which determines the better mating bull for a particular cow. Even when prices weren’t good, Annexstad has always been a positive thinker about the dairy business. But he doesn’t deny the fact that profitability is good these days. ❖

There is less than month left to sign up for the Margin Protection Program. Sign-up ends on Dec. 5, and if you haven’t started thinking about the Margin Protection Program, now is the time to do so. The Margin Protection Program is replacing Milk Income Loss Contract which officially expired Aug. 31. The switch from MILC to MPP has left many farmers with questions. MILC compensated farmers when domestic milk price fell below a certain level. MPP offers protection to dairy producers when the difference between the all milk price and the average feed cost, “the margin”, falls below a certain dollar amount selected by the producer. Eligibility for MILC was all producers who commercially produce milk in the United States. Eligibility for MPP also includes that requirement, as well as providing proof of milk production at time of registration AND the farmer cannot be concurrently enrolled in the Risk Management Agency’s Livestock Gross Margin for Dairy program, also known as LGM-Dairy. Sign-up for MILC extended through the termination of the program, and once enrolled farmers did not need to reapply. For MPP, producers must register for coverage at the Farm Service Agency office that maintains their farm records. Along with sign up, there are two forms to complete and the $100 administrative fee and any applicable premiums need to be paid. Additionally, farms must reregister for the program each year. Once you have enrolled in the program, you must remain in it for the duration of this current farm bill, which will expire in 2018. There is a great online tool available that allows producers to see how the MPP works, using real data and a farm’s own production numbers. This free tool is available at www.dairymarkets.org/MPP/Tool. This is an excerpt from an article submitted by University of Minnesota Extension educator Emily Wilmes. Contact her at (320) 255-6169. ❖

ELITE SERIES ROTA-DISC CORNHEADS GENERATIONS AHEAD OF THE COMPETITION
1) Slices stalks vertically with 15 serrated discs. No swing blades 2) Ground speed and moister have very little effect on material size. 3) Much lower horse power requirements than competition. 4) Corn head driven with drive shafts and gear boxes. No chain and sprockets like the competition. 5) Aluminum alloy gear boxes to reduce weight and dissipate heat. 6) Self-tightening gathering chains. 7) Double acting stripper plates with welding on hardened edge. 8) Large diameter auger that turn slower, reducing ear loss. 9) Corn stalk stubble in field is splintered to reduce tire damage if driven over. #1 Dealer 10) Optional Integrated Crop Sweeper and End Row Augers for improved crop. in the USA
