Cover story: Room in market for GMO, non-GMO By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer There is strength in numbers in the 8,000-member Iowa Corn Growers Association, but ICGA’s value to Iowa farmers lies in education, lobbying to curb unnecessary regulation, and advocacy for the environment, ethanol production and transportation infrastructure. According to ICGA, one in six jobs in Iowa is directly related to the agriculture industry. This grass roots association brings corn growers together across Iowa, giving them a voice in Iowa, Washington, D.C., and the world. Governed by a board of directors from each crop reporting district, growers are directly involved in the organization and the issues that affect their livelihood. Dean Meyer, a Rock Rapids, Iowa, corn producer and three-year Board member of ICGA, understands that Iowa corn growers play a major role in the food supply chain and feeding the rapidly-growing world population, as well as ethanol production and the world grain market. These issues put Iowa corn growers in the middle of the controversy surrounding genetically modified organisms and the viability of ethanol to reduce the use of gasoline.

Membership The Iowa Corn Growers Association is shooting for 10,000 members, which would continue the organization’s record of being the largest membership group of any Midwest state that grows corn. Minnesota Corn Growers Association is 7,000 members strong, while Illinois Corn Growers Association has 5,000 members. “We’ve been No. 1 for a few years. We’re on our way to 10,000 paid members,” said Meyer. There is strength in numbers. Visit www.iowacorn.org for more information.

Corn prices Like most large-scale farmers, Meyer acknowledges that record crop yields worldwide and depressed corn, soybean and wheat prices are likely on the agenda for a couple of years. “However, we do have a tremendous world demand for U.S. agricultural products and that’s going to keep us hopefully financially solvent until this market starts turning up again.

Confusion surrounds even the drivers of the growing fleet of flex-fuel cars across America and there seems to be a hangup on getting more E85 (85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline) into the market. Lay the blame on confusion and ignorance, said Meyer. “I think there still is some reluctance because of reports in the media. We had an E85 day in Sioux Falls this summer and were surprised how many drivers of flex-fuel vehicles didn’t realize that meant their car could use E85. Once we explained, they gladly filled up, especially with a 60-cent price advantage,” noted Meyer.

Value-added corn gaining in worldwide demand By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Corn exports and value-added exports of products produced from corn such as meats, dairy products, corn syrup and dried distillers grains are a major driver in the corn-growing industry. However, genetically modified corn is not accepted in some overseas market and there may be a growing market in the United States for non-GMO corn as well.
Roger Knoblock of Lyon “Exports are our bread and County, Iowa, cuts to the quick butter these days. In both when addressing corn exports, these trips it was very appara major issue facing today’s ent that our foreign buyers corn growers.

Distillers grains, a by-product of ethanol production, is gaining popularity as a lower-cost alternative feed ingredient. Knoblock addressed the debate around GMO versus non-GMO corn. Knoblock doesn’t see a quick solution, but the issue does not interfere with
his own farming strategy. “We switched to non-GMO corn twoand-a-half years back. This year I believe we are 100 percent non-GMO,” he said. Typically the argument for nonGMO corn is based on the consumer demand for non-GMO grains in foods. At Knoblock Farms, the consumer demand for non-GMO corn came from their hogs. “We farrow-to-finish. We noticed the difference when we switched to nonGMO corn in the nursery, the gestation, even with the breeding livestock,” said Knoblock. Knoblock cited less mortalities in the nursery, healthier pigs overall and improved conception, according to the manager of their swine operation. See CORN, pg. 10A

Ethanol powers farmer’s stock car By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer If you grow it, learn to sell it. That old fashioned phrase caught on with corn growers in the early days of ethanol production. Denison, Iowa, corn producer David Reisz went whole hog to sell ethanol. Reisz built an ethanol-powered stock car. His rig, running on pure alcohol, can hit up to 110 mph on the 3/8-mile dirt track at Denison and other area race tracks. “We’re cranking at 8,000 rpm. This 100 percent corn alcohol fuel provides about 115 octane so it’s got some real punch,” said Reisz, showing off his car to onlookers at the Clay County Fair in Spencer, Iowa. His alcohol-powered machine runs cool too. Dick Hagen “8,000 rpms, 20 laps on a feature David Reisz, of Denison, Iowa, created an ethanol-powered stock car, race and when my driver shuts which proves that corn can punch up the speed. down, water temp is only 180 to 190 degrees Fahrenheit,” he said. stacks up against the other cars.

If non-GMO corn is wanted, grow it CORN, from pg. 8A Knoblock sometimes gets into the crossfire of this debate because he promotes corn. “But if foreign countries want non-GMO corn we should offer them what they want. That’s the same with livestock. We don’t want to go overseas and tell them what they need; we want to provide what they want and we’ll produce it for them,” said Knoblock. “The world likes our products, be that our grains or our meat products. There are three reasons: food safety, supply and quality.” In view of these tugs and pulls in the market and seed industry, Knoblock said he does have concerns about the availability of seed stock. His firm uses AgriGold, Legend, and Federal non-GMO seed stock. He indicated that Pioneer also can provide non-GMO hybrids. He said he is not aware of any yield drag with the
non-GMO seed stock being used. “We hire a field scout that walks and monitors our fields. He’ll let us know if we need to spray and/or other issues out there. This year insects were not an issue,” he said. Nor were weeds. Knoblock said weeds are taken care of with today’s herbicides. He is no longer involved in chemical inputs used in the farming operation, but did note cleaner soybeans now than when they relied exclusively on the glyphosate or Roundup Ready chemistry. The use of cover crops is still questionable because dry soils each fall lessen germination of the cover crop seed, said Knoblock. This year that might not have been an issue, but since they strip till and plant corn-on-corn, they haven’t found a need for cover crops. Roger Knoblock was interviewed by The Land at the Clay County Fair in Spencer, Iowa, in September. ❖

before, when you’re as excited to get to work as you are to leave. I thought, if I can find a way to make a living doing that, I’ll be a very happy man.” His parents were supportive of his desire to farm, but with the price of land around Lamberton, buying would never pay out. Starting a farm Ryan got connected to a landowner who had 80 acres to rent, but she wanted it farmed organically. That was in line with Batalden’s thinking, since his parents had transitioned to organic farming while he was in college, and he had three uncles who farmed organically. The real benefit was that the landowner was willing to sharecrop (no cash outlay) and she gave him a 10-year lease in 2002 (renewed for another 10 years in 2012)
In 2005, he married Tiffany, “a city girl through and through,” as she describes herself, but she also was supportive of his desire to farm. The couple had 80 acres of organic corn, soybeans, and small grain, to which they added a herd of cattle for direct-marketing meat. It was a small beginning, but they had a foot in the door. Tiffany added income by grinding the organic wheat and baking 60-80 loaves of artisan bread each week to sell at a farmers market she helped organize in Walnut Grove, Minn. Now that they have three children, she no longer has time to do that. Then he got a phone call from Wisconsin-based New Spirit Farmland Partnership, which works to match like-minded investors and farmers. A landowner had a quarter section. She wanted cash rent, but wasn’t asking

“top dollar,” Ryan said, and she offered a 15-year lease. Now they had 240 acres. This same landowner then purchased another 100 acres and rented it to the Bataldens. “We’re really happy with the situation,” Ryan said. “Having these longterm leases has allowed us enough financial stability that we can invest in equipment knowing that we’ll have land enough to justify it, and to take some risk.” He said that organic premiums “have stayed strong enough to make farming profitable.” Since corn and soybeans are the money makers most years, his risk taking is with the small grain portion of his rotation. After a few years of spring wheat, he switched to buckwheat for a while. “The buckwheat is planted really late, so it’s all different timing than any other crop,” he said, breaking up weed and insect cycles. “This next year we’re going to plant a field of barley and field peas. You seed them together, and actually combine and store them together.” There is a specialty hog market that likes them for their feed value, he said. “And growing peas, you get nitrogen for your next corn crop,” said Batalden. He has also planted oilseed radishes, which he described as the current “star” of cover crops. He said the big green tops make a good green manure, the roots grow deep and suck up nutrients that otherwise would leach out of the ground, and the taproot goes even deeper, breaking up hardpan. “If you plant it later in the summer, it doesn’t go to seed,” he said. “It’s become a popular cover crop, and I can attest to it. There is way better weed control the next year, and the ground, the tilth is just spectacular.” See COUPLE, pg. 12A
THE LAND, NOVEMBER 21, 2014
By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent The Obama White House has a program called Champions of Change, where citizens from different walks of life are honored for their innovation and efforts. This past summer a Minnesota couple joined 13 other recipients in ag-related enterprises to be recognized as Future of American Agriculture Champions of Change. Ryan and Tiffany Batalden, who farm south of Lamberton, Minn., knew they had been nominated but were surprised when the call came that they were among the few selected to be recognized. At the end of July, they were in Washington, D.C. where they heard from Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, met with Assistant Secretary Krysta Harden, sat on a panel explaining what they are doing, and toured the White House vegetable garden. The Bataldens were nominated by the Land Stewardship Project, where Ryan serves on a committee on land access for beginning farmers. One reason for their selection may have been because the long-term future of agriculture, not just their short-term profit, figures into all of the Bataldens’ planning. They feel blessed to have gotten connected with landowners who share that value. Ryan said that when he graduated from high school, he “did what every good farm kid does — leave the farm and get a college degree so you don’t have to farm.” His degree in journalism landed him a good job with a Twin Cities’ publication. He liked the work and the people, but felt stir-crazy sitting in a cubicle all day. After seven years he quit and did some traveling, then returned home in the fall of 2001. His parents hired him to help with the harvest. “A month or two into it, I realized that I was just as excited for Monday morning as I was for Friday night,” Ryan said. “I’d never had that in a job

‘Diverse eco-system’ benefits all, even farmers COUPLE, from pg. 11A Since there is a growing demand, this is the second year he planted 80 acres for seed production. Sustainable farming The Bataldens value diversification. Tiffany wanted to sell something besides bread at the farmers market, so they planted some popcorn. “I didn’t do my homework and we planted vari-
eties that did not do well in this area,” Tiffany said. Once the family started growing and there wasn’t time to bake all that bread, she did do her homework and talked to other growers, and thus was born Patriot Pops Popcorn. “Three years ago we planted an acre of red, white, and blue popcorn,” she said. “We were blessed that year. We had no problems.”
Through a website, contacts with co-ops and grocery stores, and word of mouth, they sold out that year. They planted 2-and-a-half acres the next year, and this year put in 4 acres. They also have a contract with a cosmetic company to raise pink popcorn for a breast cancer awareness fundraiser. Ryan does the planting and cleaning, while Tiffany combines, packages, labels, markets, and ships all of the popcorn. “We’re slowly building that enterprise,” she said. “It’s something I’ve been able to do as a stay-at-home mom.” Diversification is one value. Another is farming for the future. Their long-term leases allow them to try different practices. 1) Ryan put four acres into the Conservation Stewardship Program pollinator habitat, a program that pays farmers to plant tough farming acres with native flowering plants. It’s a five-year program, but he’s thinking of leaving it as habitat even when the payments stop. He explained, “Once you stop farming these tough spots, and you’ve got these nice flowers in it, then you realize you’re actually getting into the field earlier because you’re not waiting for this spot to dry out.” 2) He has started to put in grass waterways where spring rains suggest they are needed. 3) He plants cover crops wherever possible, for green manure and soil protection. “Soil organic matter helps you in drought years, it holds nutrients better,” he said, “but I don’t know if I’d spend $30-40 an acre to build organic matter if I didn’t know whether I’d be farming it the next year.” 4) He seeds clover and other plants along the fence line to get more flowers for pollinators. “I think the landscape around your field benefits your bottom line in the longer term,” he said. “Having more beneficial insects, wildlife…I really think a diverse ecosystem benefits everyone, including the farmer. You might not see it year-to-year on your grain check, but I really think it’s there.” Stewardship Ryan and Tiffany are very appreciative to have landladies who give long-term leases, and who share their values about diversification, caring for the land, and taking a long-term view. “That’s what I bring to my landladies,” Ryan said. “I’m going to treat the land like it’s my own. And them not asking for what we call top dollar means that I’m not forced to really push the land to its production limit.” With fluctuating prices, and the costs of inputs and land, Ryan understands why not everyone farms as he does. But the Bataldens think they have the approach that is right for them and fits their values. “You have to find that balance,” Ryan said. “You have to make a living.” And they do see their future in agriculture. This past year the Bataldens purchased 32 acres. Visit www.patriotpopspopcorn.com to learn more about the Bataldens’ operation.

Farmland sales soften; acreage still holds value ship. “In most European nations, the earnings and land price ratio is low. Land is a tightly held commodity mostly staying within a family generation after generation,” Heller said.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve in its recent October meeting decided to stay steady on interest rates. Heller said this should be encouraging private lenders to put more money to work. Loans on See HELLER, pg. 14A

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer With the drop of commodity prices, Realtor and Broker Roger Heller of The Heller Group 1 Stop Realty in Olivia, Minn., has seen a softening in the farmland market. But having been in the real estate business since 1963, Heller has experienced the lows of the farm crisis of the 1980s as well as the Roger Heller highs of recent years. In fact, The Heller Group made the 2013 Top Auction Houses, a listing of only 22 auction houses and the only auction house in the Great Lakes Region. “Thanks to very strong pricing on good crop land, 2013 was the largest sales revenue year we have ever experienced,” said Heller with modesty. In 2014, Heller has observed less sales activity, but that’s to be expected in view of reducing commodity prices. “There has been some softening in terms of price per acre, but good land is still surprisingly strong considering the economics of farming right now,” said Heller. The best indexes of land values come from Iowa, which has nearly 31 million acres of farmland. The Iowa Farm and Land Chapter #2 Realtors Land Institute released a survey of local farmland brokers that placed the average price of the highest-quality Iowa farmland at $11,674 per acre. Even the midgrade dirt was fetching $8,300 per acre. In the late 1990s, you could buy midgrade farmland for less than $1,700 per acre. Heller said the current softening of the local market may not signal a continuing reduction in farmland prices. “On the good land, price drops will be slow. There’s still capital available out there in the country. When a farmer has been looking at a piece of land at the end of his driveway for 40 years and it’s now up for sale, that land still brings good money, particularly if his neighbor is also looking at the same parcel,” said Heller. Credit availability Bankers are not worried about lending to potential farm buyers as long as the transaction will cash flow and the loan represents about 40 percent of the farmland value, said Heller. Heller indicated that bankers traditionally are conservative on farmland loans ever since the farm crisis of the 1980s when bankers were loaning in percentages in the mid to high 40s. For example, 47 percent instead of today’s 40 percent values. Due to this restraint, farmers who are buying land are doing so with a lot of equity capital. In straight talk: both lender and farmer are not in danger. Investors today are minor players in the farm real estate market, said Heller. “By far the largest driver in farm auctions are expanding farmers,” he said. Heller also said that the American farmer is unique in this onward quest for more land owner-

Multi-parcel auctions maximize sale revenue HELLER, from pg. 13A most farm real estate auctions are tied to the U.S. bond market. “So there is no question that these low interest rates (almost zero percent) impact bond money very
directly,” said Heller. Auctions Heller’s first live auction was in 1979 when he realized that auctions were becoming a major player in the farm real estate business.
“That was also the year we started doing multi-parcel Today, multi-parcel auctions, the first auctions are the in Minnesota. These were comnatural course of puter driven and virtually every provided services farmland auction... above and beyond what the normal — Roger Heller auction service might offer,” said Heller. “Today multi-parcel auctions are the natural course of virtually every farmland auction…selling 40-acre parcels; 80-acre parcels or whatever to generate maximum revenue to the entire farm being auctioned.” Back in 1979, most farmland prices were in the mid-$2,000 per acre range, but even then an exceptionally good piece of ground was doing $3,000 per acre. The 1980s farm crisis quickly rearranged the price of land and the price of money. “Farmers financing on variable rates quickly and painfully found out what cash flowed at 8 percent interest didn’t cash flow at 16 percent. Many of those farms ended up in the hands of banks; then the regulators forced the banks to sell those farms and too much land went on the market too soon which quickly collapsed farm values across the nation,” explained Heller. Looking at today’s real estate business, Heller pointed out that his group did multi-parcel auctions at five western Minnesota locations in 2013. The largest was a single-day event with three sales: a morning, afternoon and evening. See HELLER, pg. 15A
Heller: ‘Recreational land buyers have backed off’ finding out it was not always automatic to own real estate and resell for more money. Plus extra money just lying around to make these purchases no longer existed. Today recreational property has to be fairly outstanding and with good terms before it moves,”
said Heller. The Heller Group 1-Stop Realty is made up of five licensed realtors and two support staff members. The Heller Group in Olivia, Minn. is a business affiliate of 1-Stop Realty in Kason-Mantorville, Minn. ❖

HELLER, from pg. 14A “That day we generated $13.3 million in sales on 2,000 acres with the highest parcel selling for $10,000 per tillable acre (Traverse County),” said Heller adding that a total of 11 parcels were sold that day to six buyers. A typical land auction occurs in a comfortable, well-lit restaurant or service club facility. “Often the farm family that is bidding, or the farmer and his banker, can sit comfortably at a table and calculate dollar totals as the sale progresses. Coffee and cookies add to the comfort of the event,” Heller said. The occasional no sale is a growing reality today. Toward the end of 2013, Heller said there were several no sales on low quality land. “I recall we had six or seven parcels involved in that situation. But almost all of those sold within a month after the no sale auction event. Sometimes when you have low quality land there just isn’t enough local buying power that day to take all the land that might be on the market,” Heller said. Recreational land buyers have backed off considerably, according to Heller. “There’s just not much demand. Up until the housing crises of 2008, people were of the opinion that you could always buy real estate and do well with it as an investment. A lot of people lost their homes

Workshop to aid in farm transitions with humor, hard talk By MARIE WOOD The Land Associate Editor Jolene Brown can harvest corn and beans on her West Branch, Iowa, farm until 2 a.m., run a financial consulting business by day, and never lose her sense of humor. For 30 years, Brown has been a family business consultant who entertains and educates in books and presentations on building, growing and transitioning the family farm to future generations. Do you know the top three farmers’ lies? Brown does. “One: Work hard, someday this will all be yours. Two: I’m going to retire. Three: Don’t worry about your brothers and sisters, they have their jobs. They’re not interested in this business,” said Brown. Brown may deliver her material with the punchlines of a stand-up comic, but she is all business when it comes to giving farm families the take-away tools they need to create and implement an effective farm business and transition plan. “I’m on such a mission. People are fighting on the way to the funeral home — brothers and sisters are not talking. My mission is to honor the family business by doing it right,” said Brown. “I’m here to wake them up, celebrate where they are at and let them know they have work to do to be where they need to be.” In four locations across Minnesota and North Dakota, Brown is presenting the workshop “Transitioning Your Farm: The Positives of Passing It On,”

“She brings real-life examples from farm families,” said Cathy Riley, MSGA regional communications manager. “The examples are both gratifying and horrifying — the things that can go on with a family business if things aren’t put down on paper. She’s very uplifting. You will not fall asleep listening to Jolene.” Riley wants the workshop to help farm families get motivated to take that first step to ensure their family farm will continue into the future. Direct and plainspoken, Brown peppers her lessons with anecdotes from her family and hundreds of farmers she meets at speaking engagements nationwide. As a consultant, she has worked with producers across the country and world — Midwest farmers, Western ranchers, kiwi growers in New Zealand. Brown cringes when she hears farmers tell her, “I thought my father’s word was good, but found out it wasn’t.” “The conversation is not a contract. You must have things clarified in writing,” said Brown. Take-away tools Workshop attendants will go home with eight tools beginning with a one-page template for a family See WORKSHOP, pg. 17A

WORKSHOP, from pg. 16A business plan. A “managing people” chart guides farmers to clearly define jobs, duties, the person responsible for each job, and salaries. Every business should have a code of conduct. A farmer in Mississippi told Brown that his son is a slow starter, which makes him late for work. Brown advised setting work hours and issuing three warnings before firing his son. “We show up on time,” said Brown. “You have just set the standard at 10 o’clock in the morning. Is that what you want?” “We tolerate stuff in a family business you cannot pull off in any other business. We also have so much joy and benefits when we work well together that no other business will,” said Brown. Take-home tools include templates for conflict management, pre-requisites for bringing a family member into a business and pre-requisites for transferring ownership in a family business. “We are hiring worthy employees who may or may not be family members. A family member is not a birthright in a family business,” said Brown. Both senior and junior farm generations present attitudes that drive Brown nuts. “When a senior generation says ‘I want all my kids to be happy and I want them all to get along; we’re going to let them tell us how we will divide the estate’ — It is your responsibility, not theirs,” said Brown. Brown is just as frank with the junior generation. “I have no tolerance with this thing called entitlement. Parents do not owe their children a business,” said Brown. Family dynamics Brown has sat at many kitchen tables with clients who want to get their farm business on the right track. When Brown begins the meeting, she asks the family members to switch chairs. “Now we have the daughter-in-law sitting in Dad’s chair. That makes everyone a little bit nervous,” said Brown. Another effective technique is to have the family patriarch play dead and ask the family members to figure out how to run the farm. One family learned they had to sell the farm. And Brown had to remind Dad that he’s still dead! Brown keeps her clients’ hearts and best interests in mind, but she does so with realism, humor and laughter. “There’s nothing better than passing on a legacy business, but you have to have a business worth passing on. Then we honor the family,” said Brown. Brown understands that getting your business affairs in order holds families and farms together in challenging times. “Get these things done when times are good, not when you’re fighting with a pitchfork in the barn,” said Brown. Now that the corn and beans are in the bin, Brown is jumpstarting the planning season with these farm transition workshops. “I want them to bring all generations, in-laws, outlaws, people who influence your business. We will have upstarts and ‘old farts.’ Each have different

Grain Outlook Winter appears, corn rallies
Livestock Angles Cattle are advancing
Grain Angles It’s planting time
The following market analysis is for the week ending Nov. 14. CORN — Corn extended its rally as winter weather made its first appearance of the season. Corn harvest was 80 percent complete as of Nov. 9, leaving nearly 3 billion bushels of corn to be harvested. Huge fund buying was a major factor to the market throughout the week, even when the soybean market was reluctant to rally and ultimately declined. December corn traded to its highest point since July when it reached $3.89 per bushel. PHYLLIS NYSTROM Corn volume Nov. 12 on the CHS Hedging Inc. Chicago Mercantile Exchange St. Paul hit its third-highest level ever on the 166-year-old exchange. For the week, December corn rallied 14 1⁄4 cents to close at $3.81 3⁄4 per bushel. The release of the Nov. 10 U.S. Department of Agriculture monthly crop report gave the corn market a small spark ignited by a smaller yield number than last month. In an unusual move, the USDA dropped the yield from 174.2 bushels per acre in October to 173.4 bu./acre this month. This is still a record yield number. The trade was anticipating an increase to 175.2 bu./acre. Since 1970 they have only lowered the November yield twice after raising it from September to October. In both years, the January yield saw small increases. This month, Minnesota’s yield was cut 5 bu./acre to 165 bu./acre and Iowa’s yield fell by 2 bu./acre to 183 bu./acre. Illinois was unchanged at 200 bu./acre and Indiana was steady at 186 bu./acre. Production remained a record 14.407 billion
The first half of the month of November started with the livestock markets moving higher. Cattle are advancing toward new high territory, while the hogs appear to have turned the corner and are recouping some of their earlier losses of this fall. The supply of cattle still dominates the market and has been the main focus for quite some time. Packers continue to be aggressive in their bidding for live inventory to fill their needs. This is happening despite the fact that they are deep in the red on each animal. For the time being the supply of cattle is not expected to increase, so this will JOE TEALE continue to dominate the market. Broker On the other side of the coin, so Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. to speak, is the demand for beef. As the beef cutout advances it is noticeable that the demand for beef products shrinks. It would suggest that at some point the supply of cattle will equal the demand for beef and this will end the continuous uptrend we have seen for the past year. The only question left is: what price does this equate to a top? This is a question no one individual can answer. This will only be answered by the consumers of beef, which falls under the category that the answer to ending high prices is high prices. Until that price is found, expect this current trend to continue with the ratcheting up of prices paid for live cattle. Producers should continue to monitor the market and protect inventories as needed. The hog market has apparently turned the corner and has begun to advance higher in prices paid for live animals. At the same time the pork cutout is improving, indicating increased demand for pork. It
You read correctly, planting is in full swing — in Brazil and Argentina, that is. By now most of the full season corn crop has been planted in South America and soybean planting is in full swing. The Brazilian state of Mato Grosso (the largest soybean producing state in Brazil) was estimated to have just short of 67 percent of the crop planted as of Nov. 10. South America competes with the United States on global corn and soybean exports. Although Brazilian corn production is only approximately 20 percent of what the United States produces, Brazil is typically in the top three global exporters of corn. Many times China is forgotten as the world’s KURT LENSING second-largest producer of corn, AgStar Assistant VP but China is a net corn importer and Industry Specialist Waite Park, Minn. therefore they look to South America and the United States for competitively priced corn imports. Soybean production is much more concentrated: roughly 85 percent of the world’s soybeans are produced in the United States, and South America (Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay). China uses about 25 percent of the world soybean production so again, the United States and South America compete for this business. With soybean crop returns looking to be more profitable in the 2015 growing season, both the United States and South America plan to plant more soybeans and less corn. There are currently many factors affecting the competitiveness of corn and soybeans in the United States versus South American grain. For example, the currency devaluation in Argentina has pushed many farmers to not sell their crop. As the currency devalues, soybeans and corn that are not sold appreciate in value so holding grain is the farmer’s way of hedging against the falling Peso. Another issue in

Strong cash meal market takes center stage cause for excitement. This month’s yield number was raised 0.4 bu./acre to 47.5 bu./acre and just under the 47.6 bu./acre estimate. Minnesota’s yield was unchanged at 42 bu./acre, Illinois unchanged at 56 bu./acre and Iowa increased 1 bu./acre to 52 bu./acre. This year’s production at 3.958 billion bushels is up 31 million bushels from last month to a new record. This was only marginally under the 3.967 billion bushel trade forecast. In five of the last six years, the January production number exceeded the November figure. Exports were raised 20 million bushels to 1.72 billion bushels. With current export commitments at 1.349 billion bushels, they represent over 78 percent of the new export forecast. Crush got a 10 million bushel boost with strong crush margins and the magnitude of the meal export line. Residual use was increased 1 million bushels. Ending stocks for 2014-15 were unchanged month-to-month at 450 million bushels. World ending bean stocks of 90.3 mmt were in line with forecasts but well above last year’s 66.9 mmt carryout. Brazil and Argentina’s crop estimates were unchanged, but Argentina’s exports were cut from 8.5 mmt to 7.8 mmt. Informa’s 2015 new
acreage number is 88.3 million acres, down 200,000 acres from their previous estimate and up 4.1 million acres from this year. The November FSA certified soybean acreage number was 81.39 million acres, up 390,000 acres from their last report. The USDA is using 84.2 million on their balance sheets. As in corn, there is no inherent connection to expect the bean acreage number to be lowered significantly in January. If acres were to be reduced, an offsetting yield increase would be expected. OUTLOOK: The burdensome ending stocks of 450 million bushels should eventually be felt in the market, as long as South American weather doesn’t raise any red flags. Demand has been extremely strong for beans and meal, but can this pace be sustained when cheaper South American supplies become available? Fundamentals don’t seem to support the current price level, but until meal relinquishes its lead, the pipeline is refilled, and funds reach their buying fill, soybeans will be pulled along. The poor close to the week in beans and meal, plus a negative seasonality picture, weaker prices may be expected. ❖

whole scenario for the hogs is the question of expansion in the industry. It appears that the hog industry is going through some expansion currently and as numbers increase this could halt the price advance in hog prices. In other words, supply could exceed demand which could slow or end price appreciation down the road. Therefore, producers should be aware of the market conditions and use caution and protect inventories if the opportunities present themselves. ❖
Teale: Hogs are expanding would appear that retailers are featuring more pork these days because of the much higher price of beef at the wholesale level. Because of this disparity in wholesale prices, pork should continue to find increased demand, which should reflect into higher hog prices over time.

tremendous crop. Even though this month’s balance sheets were on the friendly side, a two-billion-bushel carryout is huge. Growers were on the ball this week and sold into the rally. Tremendous strength in the wheat markets lent a supportive tone to corn throughout the week. Talk of winterkill in the United States, increased tensions in Ukraine, and quality concerns around the world pushed wheat prices significantly higher. Corn closed higher four out of the last five trading days, keeping it in an uptrend. Seasonally, December corn trends lower into December, and with the pullback in the soybeans, a sideways to lower pattern is expected as we head into holiday mode. SOYBEANS — The November soybean report was kicked to the curb with activity in the meal market taking center stage. The USDA report was slightly friendly to the market and provided underlying support, but the main thrust of early week gains came from the strong cash meal market. November soybeans worked steadily higher as they followed meal, but questions lingered over how long such a rally could be maintained when rumors intensified of South American meal cargoes being booked into Wilmington swirled around the market. These concerns were addressed mid-week when it was noted that South American meal was trading a record $85-per-ton discount to U.S. origin and several cargoes had been traded into the United States. Meal soared to a new contract high, and hit an air pocket that sent prices over $6 per ton higher than the old contract high. The euphoria was very short lived before prices reversed and meal closed $22.60 off their new contract high of $417.60 per ton. Soybeans mirrored the play and closed 38 1⁄2 cents off the new high for the move of $10.86 1⁄4 per bushel. This left many wondering if this was a blow-off top that could signal the end of the rally. The job of the market is to ration the tight pipeline and it may have accomplished that assignment. In the big picture, a 450 million bushel carryout is burdensome. Producer selling for both the 2014 and 2015 crop picked up substantially on the midweek surge higher, rewarding the market with bushels into the pipeline. Soybeans crumbled the last two sessions of the week to settle at $10.22 1⁄2 per bushel, down 14 1⁄4 cents for the week. December meal was down $10.50 per ton for the week at $379.90 per ton.

This was the biggest lower deviation from the trade estimate on a November report in 20 years. This will be the last supply update until the final January report since the USDA does not make crop updates in December. Usage categories may be updated in December. On the demand side of the balance sheet, ethanol usage rose 25 million bushels, industrial usage fell 20 million bushels. Ending stocks for this marketing year at 2.008 billion bushels are 73 million bushels less than the October projection and 127 million below the pre-report estimate. While the report was viewed on paper as slightly friendly, the trade seemed unwilling to latch on to a lower yield figure. Post-report chatter indicates many anticipate a rebound in the yield on subsequent reports. In six of the last seven years, the January crop report production number was less than 100 million bushels from the November number. The exception was in 2009 when production increased from November to January by 230 million bushels. World ending stocks for 2014-15 were higher than the expectation at 191.5 million metric tons compared to an estimate for 190.8 mmt and last year’s 173.0 mmt ending stocks. China’s corn production was cut 3 mmt to 214 mmt and its imports were reduced from 3 mmt to 2.5 mmt. Weekly ethanol production was up 17,000 barrels to 946,000 barrels per day. Ethanol stocks rose 500,000 barrels to 17.7 million barrels. There has been discussion in the market about ethanol demand with the freefall in gasoline prices and strength in ethanol prices. This does not, however, encourage excess usage of ethanol or export demand. The Farm Service Agency released certified acreage updates that showed corn acreage up 640,000 acres from last month’s FSA number at 85.84 million acres. The USDA is currently using 90.9 million planted acres. The FSA and USDA acres never come into agreement since not all planted acres must be reported to the FSA. There is no agreement that the January corn acreage number needs to be changed, but a small decrease would not be a surprise. OUTLOOK: The job of the market over the course of the year will be to figure out how to find a home for the

Ten cars were sold in the spot market. NDPSR powder averaged $1.4633, up 0.6 cent, and dry whey averaged 64.54 cents per pound, up 0.6 cent. Falling powder prices are indicative of what’s ahead, according to HighGround Dairy’s Eric Meyer in his analysis of last week’s Dairy Products report. He writes that “Though U.S. supply-side fundamentals have been lining up bearish for the past few months, it has taken until now to witness some global market price convergence. CME butter prices dropped by $1.29 per pound or 42 percent of its value during the month of October and cheese prices have likely seen the last of the $2.30s for a while. However both markets are in a short-term upside correction phase, meaning domestic holiday building is not yet through.” Meyer says “There is one U.S. market that is downright weak. CME Grade A nonfat dry milk prices have declined by 22 cents or 16 percent over the past three weeks and settled at two-and-a-half year lows (April 2012) this past Friday. “Though domestic sales ran hot in September due to favorable cheese manufacturing economics and value buying, monthly exports were their lowest in 20 months. Once domestic inventory building subsides, there will still be plenty of powder available as U.S. farmers will likely not get the signal to produce less milk until first quarter, then count four-six months to see year-over-year declines.” Why is this important? Meyer believes nonfat dry milk is a leading indicator for many U.S. dairy commodities. “The cheaper NDM gets, protein substitutes (dry whey, whey protein concentrate) become less attractive and cheese manufacturers begin using more in their make process, increasing yields which requires less fluid milk to make a pound of cheese. And as U.S. exporters either lose or choose not to participate in international tenders for first quarter or first half 2015 delivery, the reality of NDM backing up domes-

Checking the price front, the California Department of Food and Agriculture announced its December Class I milk price at $23.72 per hundredweight for the north and $23.99 for the south, lowest level this year since February. Both are down 61 cents from November, $1.99 above December 2013, but $2.37 below the record high set in October. That put the 2014 average for the north at $24.76, up from $20.29 in 2013 and $19.06 in 2012. The southern average is $25.03, up from $20.56 in 2013 and $19.33 in 2012. USDA announces the Federal order Class I base Nov. 19. U.S. Department of Agriculture’s World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report, released Nov. 10, raised the milk production forecast for 2014 from last month “as growth in milk per cow has increased.” However, for 2015, the production forecast was lowered “as the expansion in cow numbers and growth in milk per cow are expected to be more moderate.” The 2014 production and marketings were projected at 206.2 billion pounds and 205.2 billion pounds respectively. Both are up 100 million pounds from last month’s projections. If realized, 2014 production and marketings would be up 2.5 percent from 2013. The 2015 production and marketings were projected at 212.3 billion pounds and 211.3 billion, respectively. Both are down 500 million pounds from a month ago. If realized, 2015 production and marketings would be up about 3 percent from 2014. Export forecasts for 2014 and 2015 were lowered as U.S. dairy products, especially on a skim solids basis, remain less competitive in world markets. Cheese and nonfat dry milk prices were raised for 2014, reflecting current price movements, but the price forecasts for 2015 were lowered as domestic supplies are expected to be relatively large. Butter prices were reduced for both 2014 and 2015 based on prices to date and weaker expected exports. Whey prices were unchanged from last month. The Class III milk price average for 2014 was raised on stronger cheese prices, but weaker cheese prices in 2015 result in a lower expected Class III price. The 2014 average is now put at $22.50-$22.60 /cwt., up a dime from last month. The 2015 average, at $17.50$18.05, is down a dime from last month’s estimate. The Class IV price was lowered for 2014 as lower butter prices more than offset a higher NDM price. For 2015 both butter and NDM prices will be weaker, resulting in a lower Class IV price forecast. The 2014 Class IV average is now at $22.05-$22.25, down 35 cents from last month’s projection. The 2015 average, at $17.05-$18.05, is down 40 cents from what was projected last month. While a cloud remains over U.S. dairy exports, the farmer-funded Cooperatives Working Together accepted 18 requests for export assistance this week to sell 4.99 million pounds of cheese, 2.87 million pounds of butter (82 percent milkfat) and 17.7 million pounds of whole milk powder to customers in Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and South America. The product will be delivered through May 2015

Kurzawski: MPP or LGM — ‘It’s one or the other’ MIELKE, from pg. 21A uct prices mean lower milk prices ahead and the Dec. 5 deadline is approaching for signing up for the new Margin Protection Program. They also have the option of the Livestock Gross Margin program, and there’s the trading of CME dairy options and futures. I asked FC Stone dairy broker Dave Kurzawski in Friday’s DairyLine, if dairy producers need anything beyond the Margin Protection plan. Kurzawski admitted that his “crystal ball is not that clear,” but warned if producers go with the MPP, they can’t use the LGM, “it’s one or the other.” The use of dairy options and futures and forward contracts with co-ops, on the other hand, can be used with either program, he said, but a lot depends on a producer’s location in the country and how much feed has already been purchased for next year. “It’s a unique year to go into the MPP,”
Kurzawski stated, “Because there are some folks who have some higher priced feed in inventory already, which would negate some of those potential benefits that might kick out from the MPP.” Going into next year, Kurzawski said he believes more people will sign up for it, though he thinks we’ll see “widespread participation but we just don’t know what level people are going to look at it.” The question, he added is “How meaningful it would be if a producer already has feed inventory already put away.” If a producer elects to use dairy options and futures, what does Kurzawski recommend? While he admits that “things have got a little worse for 2015,” he still believes you can get some “decent coverage that would rival anything you can get on the Margin Protection Program for next year.” He suggests a “min/max type structure where you have a floor that might be around $16 on Class III and maybe $15

on Class IV and a ceiling closer to around $18.” It depends on a farm’s basis, he said. The use of futures or forward contracts on a portion of their milk at a $17 Class III average or a $16-$16.50 Class IV average would be “wise strategy,” he concluded, “But it depends on what their profit margin looks like, where they got feed locked up or where they don’t, so it’s really a case by case basis.” ■ Checking milk production, USDA reports milk output is steady across the northern tier of states. Milk haulers serving indicated declines in milk load volumes have tapered down. In the South Central and Southwest areas, California and Florida, milk production is increasing. Milder weather throughout this southern tier has improved cow comfort. Bottler orders are generally steady to declining as some school systems did not operate meal programs on Veteran’s Day. However, orders for Thanksgiving week are increasing as that is generally an active week for consumer sales of milk products. Western Europe milk production has declined to its lowest levels of the season, according to USDA. Week to week production levels are mixed with some countries continuing to decline, others are

showing steady production, and a few are showing some marginal increases. Milk production in Eastern Europe continues to decline, but remains significantly above year ago levels. An undetermined amount of cream and raw milk is making its way to Belarus manufacturing plants. Skim milk powder manufacturers in Poland and Finland saw increased exports to China during September. Going “down under,” Australian milk production has peaked in most states with intakes above year ago levels. Domestic dairy commodity stocks are rebuilding with additional supplies available for the export market. Concerns are growing regarding the dry conditions. New Zealand production is very strong with volumes above year ago levels. The seasonal peak will be reached this week in some areas with volumes at or exceeding historic highs.

• Landowners with cash rented land will likely need to work with their farm operators in order the get the actual yield data for 2008-12. • FSA payment yields will be used for payment calculations for the new Price Loss Coverage program, but not for the Ag Risk Coverage program options. • It may still be a wise choice to update the FSA program yields for eligible program crops on FSA farm units where there is an advantage, as these updated yields may be carried forward for future farm programs beyond 2018. The opportunity to update FSA payment yields has not been made available since 2002, and if the program yields were not updated in 2002 (counter-cyclical program), the current payment yields are the “direct payment yields,” which date back to the early 1980s. • If no decision on is made on updating FSA payment yields by the sign-up deadline, the current FSA payment yields (CC) will remain in place for the 2014-18 crop years. Farm Program Choices (2014-18) Farm operators will be given a one-time choice for the farm program option on each FSA farm unit (2014-18) that they are listed as the “producer” at the FSA office, at the time that the farm program choice is made. The farm program choices (2014-18) are Price Loss Coverage or Agricultural Risk Coverage-County or Agricultural Risk Coverage-Individual Coverage. Key points to consider on the Price Loss Coverage program option: • Producers will have a one-time choice to select the PLC program option for each eligible crop on each individual FSA farm unit (2014-18). • The PLC program is based on established crop reference prices (formerly target prices) for eligible crop commodity, which will be in place for the 2014 to 2018 crop years. Crop reference prices for common crops raised in the Upper Midwest: Corn = $3.70 per bushel; Soybeans = $8.40/bu.; Wheat = $5.50/bu.; Oats = $2.40/bu.; Barley = $4.95/bu.; Grain Sorghum = $3.95/bu. • PLC program payments will be made if the 12month market year average price falls below the established reference price for a given crop. The marketing period for the 12-month marketing year average price for corn and soybeans is Sept. 1 in the year that the crop was produced until Aug. 31 of the following year. The MYA year for wheat, oats, and other small grain crops is June 1 to May 31. • PLC payments would be made in October of the year following crop production, and will be made on 85 percent of eligible crop base acres for a given crop. • PLC payments can occur even if an eligible crop is not raised in a particular year on a FSA farm unit, as payments are made on crop base acres, and not on actual planted acres. • Maximum PLC payment rates are $1.75/bu. for corn, $3.40/bu. for soybeans, and $2.56/bu. for wheat. Based on the recent November USDA MYA price estimates, the 2014 PLC payment rates would be See PROGRAMS, pg. 25A

Aspirations to become agricultural ‘Silicon Valley’ If you are a person or a business that finds value in being connected to the ag business industry, the South Central Minnesota Agricultural Region is where you will want to be.
— Jonathan Zierdt “It’s likely to be someone already established in the agribusiness sector,” Zierdt said. The group will focus on four areas: promoting agribusiness, public affairs, education, and developing a support system for existing business and marketing for new ag-related businesses. “If you are a person or a business that finds value in being connected to the ag business industry, the South Central Minnesota Agricultural Region is where you will want to be,” Zierdt said. Mitch Davis, of Davis Family Dairies and a steering committee member, said that while the region already has a host of major and smaller agribusinesses, there are many ancillary busi-

top talent and businesses and retain existing ones. Jonathan Zierdt, president and CEO of GMG, said there’s no reason the region can’t become identified as an ag mecca in the same way Silicon Valley or The Research Triangle are known for their industries. The GMG board approved a plan to commit $370,000 to the effort during the next three years. Of that, $250,000 comes from GMG’s reserves with the remainder generated through new revenues and external funding. GMG and various ag groups have been working on the idea for two years. The group will hire an executive director to lead the effort with a goal of having someone on board by Jan. 1.
nesses that could be attracted here. “A lot of the technology is just getting started,” he said, referring to things such as drones used to analyze farm fields, vaccine research and new seed technologies. The region, with some of the richest farm land in the country, has long been a leader in agriculture and agribusiness. The area produces more soybean oil than anywhere in North America. The state is fourth in the nation in ethanol production. Area hog production is among the highest in the state and nation. Mankato is home to Ridley, one of the largest animal feed producers, has a large Dupont/Pioneer seed research facility, and is home for most of the state’s farm organizations. Zierdt said that besides hiring a point person for the new effort and getting the organization rolling, they will need to come up with a catchy name like Silicon Valley. “Right now we’ve just been calling it Project Ag.” The Free Press of Mankato, Minn., is a sister paper to The Land, under The Free Press Media. ❖

By TIM KROHN Mankato Free Press MANKATO, Minn. — A major effort is being launched to symbolize southcentral Minnesota as the “agribusiness epicenter of the United States.” “We’re going to take the best kept secret in the Midwest and make it the best known,” said Gary Koch, of Gislason & Hunter and a member of the agriculture steering committee organized through Greater Mankato Growth. Sheryl Meshke, of the large buttermaking/dairy cooperative AMPI in New Ulm, called agriculture “a quiet giant” and said the new effort aims to increase and expand the agribusiness potential in a large swath of southern Minnesota and northern Iowa. “It’s the original industry in southcentral Minnesota and it’s the largest,” she said of agriculture, which has more than $6 billion in annual sales — nearly double that of the retail or manufacturing sectors.

Barn-moving delivers both history, future to farm family

people watching with great anticipation, as if the barn were to be revered. The giant structure seemed nearly personified as it neared its new home. I was imagining it being happy to be with a family again who would restore and care for it, to have life breathed back into it after so many years of abandonment. And to once again house animals and grain. It would be repurposed, in a manner of speaking. As the barn slowly and steadily made its way onto its new home, I asked the owner if he had overdosed on antacids yet. We moved a house a few years ago. I remembered. “As long as she keeps moving, I’m okay,” he said with a nervous smile. The movers delivered the barn, and the barn delivered the anchor to the farm. And it was plain to see that everything was good. Our son had driven by in the midst of it all to check the cows in the nearby pasture. “Only in Iowa do you get stuck waiting because there’s a barn on the road,” he joked, openly proud of his own Iowa heritage.

hen David “Bear” Anderson and his wife, Carol, move next year from Johnson, Minn. — population 29 — the town will lose more than two of its long-time citizens. It will also lose its fire engine and museum. Neither one was official, but both were the work of “Bear” Anderson. The “museum” was housed in the Bear’s Den, the bar along Highway 28 that Anderson operated for many years, closing in 1999. He was a collector of advertising mirrors, wheel covers, license plates, and pens, along with whatever else his customers donated. “I’d come to work and find a wheel cover sitting inside the entry,” Anderson said. He had license plates from 43 states. He had over 1,800 pens strung above the bar, looking like holiday

He has owned three fire trucks. “I always wanted to be a fireman,” he said. “When (the neighboring town of) Beardsley sold its 1948 Ford Super Pumper in 1980, I put in a bid.” His was the highest bid and he had his first fire truck, which he owned for more than 20 years. When Beardsley sold its flat-nosed 1963 Ford fire truck, his bid won again. His third winning bid got him a truck from the Morris, Minn., Fire Department, the only one he still owns. Instead of going to fires, Anderson drove his trucks in parades, wearing his fire chief helmet. “They were fun to drive,” he said, with sirens blow-
ing and lights flashing. He usually pulled a trailer loaded with picnic tables and kegs and some of his patrons, a not-so-subtle promotion of the Bear’s Den. Five years ago he drove the 1963 Ford all the way to Casselton, N.D., and joined a parade of 181 fire trucks, setting the Guinness World Record for the largest parade of fire trucks. (The record was broken in 2012 by a parade of 220 trucks in Atoka, Okla.) Anderson, who is 79, has had his fun and has put away his fire chief hat. He hopes to sell his last truck before leaving Johnson. His said his “museum” collection may end up on eBay. “Bear” Anderson has been a local legend during his time in Johnson. Now he is moving his den to another small town — Dumont, Minn. But don’t expect him to go into hibernation. ❖

totally complete for Wilts — there were “about two days of work left to do” he admitted — but that was close enough as the snow put an end to any more chances of getting into the Dennis Wilts fields. He said he was pleased to get in as much field work as he did. Wilts said this fall was “wonderful for getting stuff done,” including applying anhydrous which “went on better than we thought it would.” “Overall I’d say we had an average crop,” he said, although he was “pretty satisfied with what we ended up with.” As for next year, Wilts said he will stick to the same crop rotation. There will only be a few changes — “Just ’cause of the low prices, we didn’t put as much fertilizer on in the fall. ... (We) might side dress our corn with nitrogen.” Wilts isn’t going to spend the whole winter freezing in Minnesota. He and his wife, Marcy, will be heading to Gold Canyon, Ariz., in January to thaw, and to Texas with some friends in February. Wilts’ plan is simple: “Head for warm places most of the winter.” Wilts said Marcy — a nurse at the clinic in Morris — will be retiring the first of the year. This will allow “more time with the grandkids.” As for looking ahead, Wilts said “it’s
going to be a while before prices come back.” He’s not very optimistic about 2015, but has been farming for a long time so he knows “you take the good years with the bad years.” Ultimately, he said, despite the uncertainty that is always there, “you got to have hope.”
The Hoffmans New Ulm, Minn.
In between doing tillage over deer opener weekend, Don Hoffman was able to squeeze in a little hunting. With two bucks to show for his Don Hoffman efforts, it was back to work Nov. 9 from afternoon into evening. When The Land spoke withHoffman Nov. 12 he was “thankful we didn’t get the snow they were talking about.” On the dairy side, the overhead doors and curtain installation has been a full-time job. The cold weather came on quickly so it ended up being a big job. “I think by the end of the day, we’ll have it in control,” Hoffman said. “Milk has been coming up again in the last few days,” he said. “Put in wheat gluten last week that might be showing signs it’s working for us.” Overall, he said 2014 was a “very average year.” On the plus side the “silage tonnage was a little better than last year,” said Hoffman. Cow production was average but prices were “fantastic, best ever ... The dairy side of things shines, I prefer that.”
The Hagens Lake Mills, Iowa
Corn harvest finished on Nov. 1 for Jim Hagen, and it “worked out pretty good.” When The Land spoke with Hagen on Jim Hagen Nov. 12, he said they “saved the best for last” when it came to combining. He “finished all the tillage work on Sunday,” just in time for a few inches of snow to fall right along with the mercury — “it got pretty cool.” Looking forward to next year, Hagen said he will continue with a “50-50 rotation.” He’ll also keep with “mostly minimal tillage; a little notill.” Hagen did some vertical tillage this fall, his first attempt with that practice. He believes that “the best I can do is side dress the corn.” He also will “buy the corn with genetics.” Spraying fungicide on his beans this year made a difference. “For being such a cool wet spring,” said Hagen, “it’s kind of amazing we got that good of a crop.” The fall helped, he said, with “only one rainy day.” Hagen said he worked 58 days straight this fall without a day off. He took Nov. 11 to spend the day with a seed corn dealer, noting that “the early bird gets the worm” when it comes to seed. Hagen said they “finished everything we want done.” And that’s good, he noted, because “it looks like January here,” adding that there were still some fields in the area with unharvested corn. “The next few years in farming are going to be interesting,” Hagen said. “I wish more young people would get into it.” He’s hoping for more 1,000acre farmers than 6,000-acre farmers in the years to come. ❖

Jared Thronson earlier feared that he would be combining corn this spring, but those fears were quieted Oct. 30 when he finished combining Jared Thronson the last of it. When The Land spoke with Thronson on Nov. 11 he was happy with his corn harvest — it “went good,” he said, adding that this fall was ideal. “I got everything done I wanted to get done.” He was also able to do “dozing work on ground that came out of CRP last year.” There are now a few more acres that will be ready. Eighty acres were taken out of Conservation Reserve Program ground in 2013, and 60 of those acres were tillable last year when Thronson planted winter wheat. His plan is to continue to get more and more of those acres next summer ready for planting. As for what Thronson will be planting next year, he expected the same amounts of soybeans, wheat and corn, although he said he is “tossing around the idea of growing barley.” He wants to gather more information before making his final decision, but said he likes that it’s an earlier crop. “It wouldn’t be a bad deal to get into earlier crops than later crops,” said Thronson. He said this year’s harvest “went pretty well.” Thronson is keeping to a budget due to the low commodity prices and will “spend as little as I can.” He did put some fertilizer down this fall for next year’s wheat — the first time he had done so in the fall — in hopes that it would translate into “less to do in the spring.” Thronson’s only complaint about the 2014 growing season was it “would’ve been nice to get in the fields earlier.” But in the end, “it all worked out.”
Looking forward, he said winter is a “time to sit down and figure out what you actually did.” He’ll also go through insurance policies, and tax season “is around the corner.” “Seed selection happens in the winter months,” said Hoffman. He also uses that time to put a crop plan into place. As for the conclusion of the 2014 growing season? “It’s a relief when it’s all done.”

Poorest acres may get better payout from CRP By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Founded in 1968, the Minnesota Agri-Growth Council brings together members from the state’s diverse food and agriculture sectors to represent and advocate for all Minnesotans involved in agriculture. On Nov. 6, Agri-Growth hosted its annual meeting at the Minneapolis Convention Center, and The Land’s Dick Hagen was there to report on the key issues facing modern agriculture. He’s a veteran agricultural forecaster. He develops credit and risk strategies for his customers. He’s keenly listened to when he gives an international perspective on agricultural production and agribusiness. He’s Michael Swanson, Ph.D., agricultural economist and senior Michael Swanson vice president at Wells Fargo. At the Nov. 6 Agri-Growth Annual Conference in Minneapolis, Swanson spoke directly to farmers about future income prospects. “I’m putting the burn on our farmers. I’m telling them they need the discipline to step away from their worst acres,” said Swanson. “If you know it’s not going to make you any money, why would you lose money farming it? No farmer wants to downsize, but you need to identify your poorest-performing acres and have a definitive plan for what you’re going to do about those acres, whether you like it or not.” Conservationists could be hugging Swanson. His comments certainly suggest a chunk of poor-produc-
ing farmland could and should be returned to a nonfarming status. Of course, that depends upon what the government’s Conservation Reserve Program or private entities are willing to pay for the land. Swanson refers to the Federal government as “the world’s silliest landlord.” “Right now they are paying some of the best CRP rates that we’ve ever seen because they are looking backwards at what they need to compete against,” he said. “So if you are a farmer or land owner with a CRP option on the table, you might get the best rental rates you will ever see on a relative basis so consider your CRP opportunity very carefully before you walk away from it.” In a Q&A session, Swanson suggested rather than looking at total production, policy specialists should be looking at production on a per capita basis. “We consume on a per capita basis. What dimension you use is important when looking at the numbers,” said Swanson. “Landlords are paid by the acre; farmers are paid by the bushel. So knowing the right metric is vital when doing the numbers game.” Q: How do you see the agricultural landscape
today? Swanson: Most obvious is the flip within our commodities. Grain and oil seeds had four years of phenomenal profitability while livestock paid; now livestock are enjoying nice prices and great profitability. And this shine could be for two to three years for the livestock industry. Q: What impact will this have on land rental rates? Swanson: When you look at the pre-cash flow with $3.50 corn and the same yields, something has to give. These are the big board items: cash rent, fertilizer, seed and machinery. These all have to adjust to lower revenue per acre. Landlords don’t want to hear that. If you’re already top dollar you’re going to get more push back. Q: What about interest rates in this new scenario? Swanson: The Fed is a tough one to predict. We’ve been wrong for five years on the curve, but that doesn’t mean that we won’t be right sooner or later. Zero is not a normal interest rate even though we’ve been there for six years. We’re closer to that going up logic than we’ve been for five years. Q: With profitability questionable for both corn and soybeans right now, what acreage shifts do you foresee? Swanson: The market reacts quickly. If the shift is to more soybeans, prices will logically decline. There’s about a 2.4 ratio on the price of soybeans relative to the price of corn. The point being that you can’t move one without affecting the other. Q: You mentioned 80 percent of the world’s population gain is likely to be in just one continent, Africa. Can the world continue to produce enough food? Swanson: My quick answer is yes. There’s still a lot of hand cultivation going on in the various countries of Africa. Yes, it is a huge land mass. Any agronomist worth their salt will tell you that yield is dependent upon number of plants per acre times the number of grains per plant times average weight of that grain. In Africa, the number of plants per acre is a fraction compared to what we do in the United States ... basically because they aren’t mechanized. They could increase yield dramatically with just a little mechanization. So I think with just a few adjustments and some adoption of some rather minor agronomic strategies, there is potential for much greater food production in Africa. Q: Will China continue to be a major driver of agricultural exports? Swanson: Currently 70-plus percent of China’s soybean needs are imported. So far the United States continues to be the key source. Also the sweetness trend in eating habits keeps ramping up in China and elsewhere. Because of better incomes, these people want to eat better which leads to stronger export markets for our soybean industry, our pork industry, our beef people, our poultry industry and even our dairy industry. China continues to be a shining star, but recognize that China is also a very volatile customer. ❖

Transparency in food practices key to public trust By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer With consumers voicing concern regarding genetically modified organisms in America’s food chain, the agricultural and food industry has an opportunity to educate people about safe practices in food production. Charlie Arnot Charlie Arnot, CEO of of the Center for Food Integrity, a national non-profit organization dedicated to building consumer trust and confidence in today’s food system, addressed the GMO issue at the Agri-Growth Conference. “Transparency is no longer optional. Whoever defines the issue gets to control the debate,” Arnot said. In a conversation with The Land, Arnot talked
about how producers and processers can approach the GMO debate in a way that is not polarizing. “GMOs have become an icon for what people don’t like about big foods. They’ve become a focal point about the big food conversations. I think we start by embracing the concerns and embracing the skepticism and welcoming their dialogue by letting them know they have a right to safe food that is produced responsibly,” said Arnot. The agricultural industry must relate to consumers in a way that is meaningful to them. “Our historical approach is to use science to convince people that we are right and they are wrong. Our research is telling us that approach is no longer successful,” Arnot said. “We need to engage people where they are and answer their questions in a very authentic, transparent way and continue in that dia-
logue on an ongoing basis.” Arnot is not GMOs have become surprised by the an icon for what growing interest people don’t like and trend about big foods. toward conventional corn seed — Charlie Arnot by some farmers. “What we are seeing is that opportunities can and do exist in all sectors of agriculture. We’re fiercely agnostic when it comes to production practices. We have members who are fully into organic farming, members who grow conventional and members fully into biotech seeds. I think we’ll see plenty of opportunity in the marketplace for all of those crop choices,” he said. “Farmers generally have the skills to choose the technology or system that works best to make their farming business profitable. The great thing about American agriculture is that there is plenty of opportunity for all of them.” Arnot is founder and president of CMA, a consulting firm that helps clients across the food system build customer trust. His company has offices in Missouri and Iowa. ❖
Rabobank reports on record harvest Rabobank Food & Agribusiness Research and Advisory Group’s finalized a new report, “Waiting for the Record U.S. Harvest to Flow” with these bullet points: • A late 2014 harvest and strong incentive to store corn has created an early season U.S. corn deficit. • Due to storage and potential for transportation disruptions, opportunities for securing physical corn stocks may be best in November. • Storage liquidation is only expected to begin in the second quarter of 2015. • Despite a record 2014 U.S. soybean harvest, October rallies in soybeans (plus 14 percent) and
soymeal (plus 38 percent). Futures were fuelled by strong demand and a near-empty soybean pipeline. • A long drawn-out harvest has slowed the restocking of U.S. soybean inventories. • Harvested U.S. soybeans have gone directly to both the export pipeline and domestic crushing facilities to fill both back and current orders. • It will take time for U.S. crushers to fill all their orders, so end users should not expect cash prices to decline until the end of November or shortly thereafter. -Dick Hagen

Paap calls on lawmakers to compromise, cross aisle By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer After the midterm election results, Kevin Paap, fourth generation farmer and president of Minnesota Farm Bureau, discussed the potential impact on agriculture at the state and federal level with The Land at the Agri-Growth Annual Conference in Minneapolis. “It means pure and simple that the people who voted sent the message that they want their elected officials to work together and, more importantly, get something done,” said Paap. Paap said the best example of this is the willing-to-compromise attitudes
of agricultural committees at both the State Legislature and U.S. Congress. “We’ve seen that on our ag committees, whether in St. Paul or Washington, D.C. Hopefully our state legislature and our Federal congress will look at these committees and say, ‘Hey, we need to reach across the aisle and

Consumers to get traceability of food, at a price By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Consumers are asking two questions about the American food chain: 1) “Where is my food grown?” and 2) “How is my food grown?” Steve Peterson, chairman of the Minnesota AgriGrowth Council Board of Directors, said these two questions need to be answered by the agricultural and food industries. Peterson owns and manages Peterson Farms, a grain and livestock operation in Paynesville, Minn. He also is the director of sourcing sustainability at General Mills and It likely adds to recently returned from a trip to the Nestle the cost of food Foods Corporation in since the cost/ New York City. price ratio gets “Nestle has hired a impacted in the marketing/consumer developent of consulting firm to map traceability. the farm and plantaAnd consumers tion source of all the will have to ingredients in their Nestle brand foods. accept that ... This study will also identify by location all — Steve Peterson the intermediary handlers and processors of these various ingredients,” said Peterson. Studies of this nature do not suggest that more precise food product labeling is at hand, according to Peterson. The information is important to consumers in order to better understand the source of the ingredients in their food products and to make sure these ingredients are the result of safe and ethical procedures from the source to consumer, he explained. Peterson said it’s OK that consumers want to know more about their food. Agriculture and food manufacturers have built a modern supply chain that doesn’t have the capability of traceability, Peterson said. However, Nestle staff indicated that their study proves that traceability is doable. “So, yes, I think this is a trend underway. It takes time. It likely adds to the cost of food since the cost/price ratio gets impacted in the development of traceability. And consumers will have to accept that economic reality of the food business world,” said Peterson. Family farmers As a farmer of corn and soybeans in Stearns County, Minn., Peterson understands the plight of farmers in this area of Minnesota which got hammered by spring rains that resulted in lots of “prevent planting” acres. Peterson shrugged. “We did not do so well. Maybe only about 140 bushels on corn. And lots of variability in our fields so certainly not our best year. FortuSee PETERSON, pg. 9B

Public opinion The ongoing strength of Agri-Growth Council will continue to be lobbying and education, both of politicians and those activists heading up food identification issues, said Peterson. “We have not done much shaping of public opinion. That’s obviously of growing importance but to do that we need more resources,” he said. “In Minnesota we have an awesome story to tell about both production agriculture and our tremendous food industry. That story needs to get to our consumers. They have a high regard for farmers and the job they do in producing food.” Since its founding in 1968, AgriGrowth has sought to define common goals among agribusiness industries and organizations, family farmers, and the service sector that support them. The organization is non-profit and
non-partisan, which allows Agri-Growth to be a credible advocate on behalf of its membership. “Agri-Growth functions well in being a catalyst for bringing other groups together for a coalition to advance the quality of our foods and the sustainability of the resources and inputs that are part of this tremendous food chain,” said Peterson. Peterson was interviewed by The Land at the Nov. 6 Annual Meeting.

PETERSON, from pg. 8B nately we don’t have land debt so we can weather these challenges.” In 2015, Peterson expects that producers will shift away from corn to soybeans in Stearns County. The region is also known for dairy and turkey production. In fact, Peterson’s dad was an original board member of the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association. “On our farm we’re using alfalfa as a cash crop to area dairy farmers as we go forward. We’re a small beef operation with a 45-cow calf operation, plus feeding out 200 to 300 steers, so we’ll use livestock manure to reduce fertilizer costs,” said Peterson. When it comes to growing non-gentically engineered food, Peterson said that producers need to look at what consumers want and provide accordingly. Conventional crop producers can learn from organic producers and vice versa. “This is a very real thing in the food chain already,” said Peterson. “It bothers me that we sometimes polarize ourselves in agriculture, but there is room for both and we need both under the tent as we go forward.”

Aasness: Industry working to grow public’s trust By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Organized in 1968 to define common goals among agribusiness industries, family farmers, and the service sectors that support them, Minnesota AgriGrowth Council celebrated its 47th birthday at its Nov. 6 annual conference in Minneapolis. Perry Aasness, the council’s executive director, identified three key priorities of Agri-Growth: 1) Being an effective advocate in a competitive business climate with special emphasis on lobbying at both state and Federal levels. “Working with other partners at the State Capital is important,” said Aasness. 2) The annual meeting of Agri-Growth displays the diversity and strength of Minnesota agriculture, including the important connection with the academic world, particularly the University of Minnesota and its College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences. “This event provides that network of our entire agri-industry that is so important in presenting a unified voice to the nonagricultural segment of our society and business world,” he said. 3) Another function, growing in importance and publicity, are the changing demands of the consumer, and their lack of trust in the food system and the entire food chain. “We need to build that awareness, that trust, by explaining how our food is produced and why it is produced in this manner,” said Aasness.

Today food labeling is the thrust of the consumer’s concerns about food. But are consumers driving an agenda that realistically can’t meet all their many demands? “There’s a segment of consumers tuned into this issue and they are trying to convince all consumers that there is something wrong with our food. This suggests we haven’t done a good enough job explaining these new technologies and how it is permitting farmers to produce more per acre while cutting back

on inputs such as fertilizer, pesticides, and tillage,” said Aasness. “But rather than being reactionary and defensive about their questions and criticisms we need to work on building that social license. This means being comfortable about tough questions that consumers ask. It also suggests being very precise about nutrition information on a food label such as health issues relating to allergies and the GMO ingredients in a particular food. “There are certain things that need to be on a label but where do you draw the line?” asked Aasness.

across the state. Aasness said he sees media as receptive to cover new technologies, new marketing strategies especially into foreign markets, and new foods into the food chain, with particular notice of the growing organic foods market. “But I think it’s a charge to all of us involved in agriculture that we need to reach out to those media sources and build relationships so that they can feel comfortable asking us questions,” he said. “That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t complain when we view a story as being very negative about Minnesota agriculture. We have every right to voice our issues but being proactive early on is the best way to ensure compatibility with the media.” ❖

TRUST, from pg. 10B Aasness acknowledged a disturbing challenge is the growing disconnect between agricultural producers and processors and the non-ag segment of the population. “Trying to put a face on our industry is vital to building this confidence,” he said. “Many of our producer groups are doing this via video clips featuring farm families and what they do on their farms. Many host tours and do ‘show and tell’ explaining exactly what goes on in today’s modern farming. Just being as transparent as we can be in the process. Agriculture is always about continuous improvement which means new technology, new research, and new production strategies are the tools making Minnesota agriculture better. But we’ve got to share that information with consumers because they don’t quite see it that way.” Aasness credited the media with being attentive to the business scope of Minnesota agriculture and the role it plays in the total financial landscape
