Letter: U.S. democracy in decline To the Editor: For once I agree with some of what (The Land staff writer) Dick Hagen writes, that civilizations fall. I would disagree with the timeline of 200 years.

Most historians would argue that the usual timeline is 300 years. We should hope that 300 years is correct because if we agree that the start of America was 1776, 200 years would put us 40 years overdue while 300 years would give us approximately 50 years left.

Historians are also pretty much in agreement that falls were not caused by external pressures, but internal corruption and misplaced military actions such as Vietnam and Iraq. Rome didn’t fall because its Social Security payments were too high. Rome fell because there was no Social Security.

The poor paid all of the taxes while the rich paid none. The generals walked away with the loot from the various wars while the soldiers died. The common people eventually refused to fight, forcing Rome to hire mercenaries, who learned that it was much more profitable to fight against Rome than for Rome.

Hagen keeps coming up with the statement that 50 percent of Americans receive payments from the government and are supported by the working 50 percent. This statement may or may not be true, but has the false assumption that these people are contributing nothing in return. This list would include soldiers, sailors, airmen, policemen, teachers, farmers, Social Security recipients, firefighters, road mainte-

People do not starve willingly. Feeding people is cheaper than keeping them in jail.

I agree with Hagen that American democracy is in decline and that the decline is probably irreversible.

Historians will date the day that the Supreme Court upheld Citizens United allowing unlimited secret campaign contributions as the day America started changing from a democracy to an oligarchy (rule by a few) similar to Mexico or Russia.

The results of the last election show that the vast amounts of dark money from the Koch brothers and others can change elections, regardless of the facts.

Unless the laws are changed, and I doubt that there will be any change, I predict that real democracy in America will end within 20 years.

Letter: ‘Save the family farm’ failed; Programs destructive to soils, land To the Editor: I am a small farmer in central Minnesota. (The Land staff writer) Dick Hagen wrote a kind article about my farm after a brief conversation at the 2014 Organic Conference. I am writing in response to Alan Guebert’s Oct. 31 opinion piece titled, “Ag economists slam farm bill for immense subsidies,” and Hagen’s Nov. 7 opinion piece titled, “Entitlements cloud our future.” Both were excellent and courageous.

I am not politically active. After the 2012 election, I decided to spend the rest of my years raising meat.

Spending my energy doing something that I know is productive. I have some familiarity with government involvement in agriculture since the early 1950s.

I have not participated in farm programs since the early 1980s. Government programs have been and continue to be terribly destructive. Not just destructive of farmers and farms but in recent decades

incredibly destructive to soils and land.

The evidence is as clear as it could possibly be. Programs to “save the family farm” have been a total failure. In fact, those programs have probably had a strong negative effect on the number of farms.

Hagen’s article on entitlements is good, but farmers are now an “entitled” class also. I get frequent email communications from a variety of farm organizations. More than half of the articles are about how to affect or benefit from farm programs. Not about how to farm. Not about how to build soil or care for animals. Not about how to be a better farmer.

I admire Hagen and Guebert’s courage in even bringing these topics up to farmers in your magazine when farmers themselves are a protected and entitled class.

Letter: Farmers lose profits on mega crop production OPINION

As I understand the situation, the reason corn is worth less money this year than it was last year is because farmers raised too much corn. were told to raise more food (the demand is there, or so we are told). Yet when we do just that (increase food production), we get rewarded with poverty and not prosperity.

We are told that in 30 years or so we will need to feed nine billion people. Do you think anything will be different then? If farmers are continually treated like this do you think there will be enough farmers or farm workers to meet the food and fiber needs of nine billion people?

If we are to feed 9 billion people we will need to make some major changes in agriculture. Some of those changes will be in production, and there is no

shortage of researchers trying to find ways to make those changes.

Look at dairy. This year conventional dairy farmers are enjoying some prosperity. I know of only one group that is advising dairy farmers to cut production in order to sustain that prosperity. That group is National Farmers Organization. History tells us that they are right. As farmers we tend to listen to agribusiness (and it is in their best interest to have full production) or commodity groups that get paid on volume.

If we are to feed 9 billion people we need a better way to price our product so the people working to grow our food can stay in business. Farmers working alone will never have the long-term prosperity required to face the challenge of feeding 9 billion people. Only organized farmers can do that. And only NFO points the way to how those organized farmers can use their strength in the marketplace to stay profitable in the long haul.

Mark Rohr Bluffton, Minn.

THE LAND, DECEMBER 12, 2014

To the Editor: Here we go with another season of agribusiness giants telling us how we need to maximize production with their special brands of seeds and fertilizers. Does this make any sense to you? Not to me, it doesn’t. As I understand the situation, the reason corn is worth less money this year than it was last year is because farmers raised too much corn. So my question is how will raising even more corn next year solve the problem?

As farmers we are told the population is growing, there are more mouths to feed. So then why are we punished with lower prices when we do raise more food?

Think about the people that have entered farming in the past few years. If they were in college and they did very well on a test or in writing a paper, do you think they were punished? If they were in agribusiness and they exceeded sales or manufacturing goals, how do you think they were treated? In my lifetime, there have been several times when farmers

USDA announces grants aimed at diversifying American agriculture Land Grant Institutions), Native American Land Grant Tribal Colleges and Universities (1994 Land Grant Institutions), Hispanic-Serving Institutions of higher education, and community-based and nonprofit organizations that work with minority and veteran farmers and ranchers.

The 2501 Program has distributed more than $66 million to 250 partners since 2010. The 2014 farm bill reauthorized the program and expanded assistance to include military veterans. The program is administered by the USDA’s Office of Advocacy and Outreach.

Of the announced grants, 31 (50 percent) will support efforts in states participating in USDA’s StrikeForce for Rural Growth and Opportunity Initiative, an effort to direct USDA support and services to

underserved rural areas experiencing chronic poverty. Twenty-five (39 percent) of the grants will go to partnerships directly targeting veterans interested in farming and are part of USDA’s enhanced commitment to expanding services to veterans in agriculture. Twelve grants (20 percent) will directly benefit tribal and native communities.

This year’s awards will be distributed in 34 states, Puerto Rico and the Federated States of Micronesia and are part of USDA’s efforts to support new and beginning farmers.

Cold temps raise storage questions North Dakota State University Grain Storage Specialist Ken Hellevang shared information about handling wet corn that has been harvested and put in storage at cold temperatures. Here’s an excerpt of a discussion with Hellevang.

Q: What is the best management strategy for running aeration fans on bins to cool grain without freezing the bin?

Hellevang: The kernels will not freeze together if the corn moisture content is below 24 percent; and should flow normally. The acceptable moisture content decreases with more foreign material in the corn.

I recommend that corn moisture be less than 24 percent to hold it until outdoor temperatures are above freezing and at or below 21 percent to hold corn until spring.

Some people are recommending that wet corn not be cooled below freezing because ice crystals will form in the void spaces between the corn with the moisture coming from the corn. I am not aware of this being a problem, again based on extensive experience.

Frosting will occur when moist air comes in contact with a surface that is below 32 F. It typically occurs when air from warm corn comes in contact with a cold bin roof and roof vent during aeration. It can occur with corn at temperatures below freezing when warmer air comes through the cold corn. This could occur if the corn at the top of the bin was cold and warm air from corn below is moved through the cold corn as the bin is cooled using aeration. Normally this will occur only in a shallow layer of corn at the top of the bin and only for a period of time until that corn has been warmed by the warm aeration air coming from the warm corn. The amount of frost accumulation expected in the corn increases as the corn gets colder and layer of corn gets thicker. Since corn is a good insulator, the cold layer is normally expected to be fairly thin and the warm aeration air removes the frost.

If the corn is warmer than the bin steel, condensation in the form of frost will occur on the bin roof and bin vents. The rapid drop in outdoor temperature makes this very likely. Running fans with frostplugged or iced-over roof vents can result in serious bin damage.

Cooling the corn in small steps reduces this potential. The general goal is to cool the corn to just below freezing, so operate the fans only when outdoor air temperature is above 20 F. Corn at 22 percent moisture has an estimated allowable storage life of about 60 days at 40 F and 30 days at 50 F. (We’re not likely to see those temperatures for a while, but we may have some warmer corn deeper in bins.) Cool corn at recommended moisture contents can wait for cooling until appropriate temperatures exist. Ideally the aeration air temperature would be 10 to 15 degrees cooler than the corn.

Give an exotic orchid to the gardener on your gift list If you are lucky enough to have a Phalaenopsis you are about to enter the wonderful world of growing orchids. I received one as a gift and liked the beautiful flowers so much I purchased several more and began learning how to care for these exotic plants.

They look fragile but are actually pretty tough and not diffiIN THE GARDEN cult to maintain.

By Sharon Quale Phalaenopsis (fayl-eh-NOPsis) are among the easiest orchids to grow in your home. The plants basically like the same temperatures we do — above 50 degrees at night and a range of 70 to 80 degrees during the day. The Phalaenopsis orchids are thick leaved plants with elegant, arching bloom sprays.

The bloom can last for several months and adds a splash of color to the winter home environment.

The growing medium for orchids is different than the potting soil used for most other houseplants.

Fine or medium orchid bark is the best growing material since these plants need to have their roots aerated and can’t tolerate bad drainage.

They do like high humidity and placing the pots on a pebble tray with water in it works well. It is important that the roots do not sit in water or they will readily rot. Bathrooms are good homes for orchids because of the high humidity.

Bathrooms are good homes for orchids becuse of the high humidity.

Sharon Quale

Depending on the temperature, orchids potted in bark should be watered once or twice a week and fed once a month with a fertilizer especially blended for orchids. It is best to water in the morning and best to use unsoftened water. Hold the plant over a sink and let water run through the pot for a minute or so and make sure it drains completely.

The Phalenopsis orchid is monopodial which means it grows upward on a single stem by producing new leaves at the top of the plant. Its common name, “moth orchid” is inspired by the moth like appearance of the flowers.

After flowering, cut the stalk just below the node that produced the first flower. With proper conditions, the stem will branch and produce more flowers within eight to 10 weeks. Repotting should be done every two years and ideally right after blooming.

A good book I recommend if you want to get started growing orchids is “Beginners Guide to Growing Phalaenopsis” by Bob Gordon. Sources for purchasing the plants are readily available on the internet.

Plant nurseries and some of the big box stores also have them available. A blooming orchid plant would make a wonderful gift for any gardener.

Showing up matters, even when all you bring is love

It’s been five weeks and counting since hubby Mike fell eight feet from a grain cart near the beginning of this season’s corn harvest. From the getgo, one of the chief lessons learned is that showing up matters.

On a cold October Saturday night, emergency medical technicians, first responders, and friends showed up.

Cookbook collects recipes from farmers worldwide Cookbook Corner

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent Minnesota farm wife Lorraine Brown had the golden opportunity to travel around the world with her husband, Glen, while he was a U.S. representative on the World Ploughing Organization Board for more than 30 years.

This group was organized in the 1950s in England (hence the alternative spelling) to promote the art and science of plowing. Each year a different country would host a plowing contest, and on these trips the Browns met farmers and their wives from around the globe, gathering up recipes along the way for a published collection.

Enjoy the global fare in “Cooking Around the World: Recipies Collected from Contestants of Past World Ploughing Contests.”

■ Plowing contestants from countries as diverse as Australia, Zimbabwe, Ireland, Spain, Hungary, Italy, Morocco and New Zealand offered their favorite recipes, proving that no matter where you go, farmers are hearty and appreciative eaters. The secret to these moist and succulent Carrot Bars is the ultra-smooth puree of the baby food carrots. An easy cream cheese frosting completes this decadent picture.

The first step in safe leftovers is preparing and cooking the food safely. Was a food thermometer used to ensure the turkey and stuffing reached 165 F? After dinner, cooling food correctly is important to prevent foodborne illness as bacteria grow rapidly at room temperature. Leftover hot food should be refrigerated within two hours to minimize time spent in the danger zone of 40-140 F. Have shallow containers and refrigerator space to cool remaining turkey and sides quickly. Remove legs and wings to help cool.

The refrigerator should be 40 F or below.

Properly roasted turkey can safely be eaten cold from the refrigerator or reheated. Bring gravies to a rolling boil. Leftovers should be reheated to 165 F. Use a food thermometer. As a general rule, leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for three to four days or frozen and eaten within four months.

For more information, call (888) 674-6854, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Meat & Poultry Hotline.

Advertorial As usual, the swing in various commodity markets will make for some interesting results for 2014. Also, future considerations will weigh heavily on attempting to target your 2014 taxable income.

Once again we will be looking forward to see what, if anything, Congress can pass for tax provisions after the election and before year-end. As it stands, 2014 deductions related to Section 179 and bonus depreciation are much lower than 2013. The 2014 allowances reflected below will require action from Congress before we can count on any increase in the deduction.

1.

Allowable First Year Deductions for Capital Purchases

*Section 179 depreciation **Bonus depreciation

2013 $500,000 50%

2014 $25,000 0%

*Sec. 179 allows taxpayers to expense the cost of USED or NEW qualifying property placed in service during the tax year subject to certain dollar limitations. Asset addition limitation phase-out range for 2013 = 2,000,000 - 2,500,000, 2014 = 200,000 - 225,000. **Bonus depreciation allows taxpayers to expense the cost of NEW qualifying property placed in service during the tax year with no dollar limitation phaseout.

2. The federal tax rates for 2014 are the same as 2013. As you recall, the upper rates and brackets increased in 2013.

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

3. Repair Regulations. There are new regulations regarding the ability to classify certain expenditures as a current-year repair expense or a capitalized expenditure for depreciation. Most all business activities will need to prepare IRS form 3115 “Change in Accounting Method” to be mailed to the IRS and also attached to their 2014 tax returns.

4. Minnesota Gift and Estate Tax Issues The 2014 Minnesota tax bill repealed the new gift tax law enacted in 2013 and revised the Minnesota estate tax exemption and qualified farm property estate tax exclusion.

• The Minnesota estate tax exemption has increased from $1,000,000 to $1,200,000 for 2014.

• Some of the highlights regarding Qualified Farm Property eligible for the additional $3.8 million exclusion are: o Need to be classified as “Homestead Farm Land” owned by a person or entity that is not excluded from owning agricultural land under Minn. Stat. §500.24 (there may be annual reporting requirements with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture). o For three years after the decedent’s death the property maintains a property tax classification of Class 2a agricultural property (if you have questions, please bring in your real estate property tax statements).

5.

Health Care Update. New regulations were enacted through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that will significantly restrict the use of employer provided health insurance and medical reimbursement plans. The ACA allows the IRS to impose a penalty of $100 per day, per employee for having a health plan arrangement that is not in compliance. There are many factors to consider depending on your situation. Contact your tax accountant to review how these new regulations impact your business.

6.

Pre-Paid Farm Expenses. Farmers are generally allowed to deduct the costs of supplies purchased during a tax year, even if the supplies will not be used until the following tax year. A cash-basis taxpayer must meet all four of the following conditions to claim a deduction in the year of the expenditure: • The expenditure must be a payment for a supply, rather than a deposit.

• The prepayment must be made for a valid business purpose.

• The expense should be used normally within 12 months of purchase.

• Typically cannot prepay more than 50 percent of the current-year operating expenses, including depreciation.

7.

Defer income to 2015. Farm income from grain or livestock sales can be deferred to 2015 by signing a deferred payment contract. This contract should be executed before ownership is transferred. These contracts will delay the payment to January 2015. Be aware that you are at risk if the business/buyer becomes insolvent before the check is received. In certain instances, the IRS will allow a cash-basis farmer to elect out of the installment sale treatment of these agreements on a contract-for-contract basis. For tax planning flexibility, it is best to use several smaller contracts instead of one large contract.

8. 2014 crop insurance proceeds for “yield” loss including prevented planting proceeds can be received in 2014 and you may elect to defer the income to 2014, if you are a cash-basis farmer and can document that normally more than 50 percent of your yearly production is marketed in the year after it was produced. The revenue-based portion of the insurance proceeds for price declines is not eligible for deferral. If the crop insurance claim is filed late enough, it may be possible to delay the receipt of the insurance settlement until January, which would then be considered 2015 income. Work with your insurance agent and adjuster to avoid any surprises when attempting to delay reporting of your potential insurance claim.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

9. Year-end is a good time to review your employment agreements (especially those containing commodity wage provisions) between family members and a closely held entity.

10. A non-tax item: The 2014 Farm Bill authorizes several new program options that are administered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA). Both producers and landowners have several options to be made regarding each FSA farm unit. Informational meetings and online analysis tools are available to clarify the issues and help individuals make the correct option choice. Ask your tax accountant to review the calculations and help analyze the information so that you can make the most informed decision regarding the options for your operation.

Clean ideas: Here’s to a greener, sustainable holiday

AMES, Iowa — Goals, lists and reinforcement should all be part of advanced planning when it comes to spending during the holiday season, according to Brenda Schmitt, human sciences specialist in family finance with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.

Schmit recommends setting shopping goals and making lists. This not only helps the shoppper manage spending, but family members better understand priorities of the season.

“Time and money are valuable resources during the holiday season,” said Schmitt. “If finances are tight this year, don’t try to hold yourself to expectations from previous years — allow yourself to make changes. Instead of spending beyond your means, make memories by spending time together and starting new holiday traditions.

Be happy with what you do have, not focused on what is missing.”

Here are some tips for managing time and money during the holidays.

• Plan ahead and don’t wait until the last mintues to do shopping and decorating.

• Make a to-do list. When things are written down they become important. Cross them off the list once they are done for a sense of accomplishment.

•Try chunking by breaking down the big task into smaller ones.

•Involve family members: Put them in charge of decorating, cooking or cleaning.

•Set up for success: If using credit cards is a weakness, tape shopping goals to the card as a reminder.

5. Switch from standard holiday lights to new, longer-lasting, lower-energy-use LED. Check with your local city public utilities or county recycling program to find out how to recycle old strings of holiday lights. There are programs that remove and recycle the copper, glass and plastic these lights contain.

6. Stock up on cleaning supplies so you don’t run out during the busy holiday season. Take advantage of the concentrated products that are on the market.

It’s the greener alternative because a little bit of product goes a long way and you’re using less packaging while getting more cleaning power.

7. Some of the best gifts don’t come from a store.

Consider gift certificates redeemable for activities

Easing financial strain of the holidays

that draw on your talents, time or energy — like cooking a meal, cleaning the car inside and out, organizing the garage, or doing the laundry once a week for several months. Busy moms and dads, as well as older relatives who have more than enough “stuff,” will be particularly appreciative.

8. Wrap green. Avoid foil or metallic wrapping papers, as they are difficult to recycle. Look for ecofriendly gift wrap made from recycled paper. When unwrapping large gifts, save the paper for reuse; it can often be cut down for smaller presents. Creased wrapping paper can be ironed flat. And if you keep the use of adhesive tape to a minimum, more of the wrapping paper will be reusable.

9. Ribbons and bows are ultimately destined for the garbage bin. Give them as many lives as you can before they are trash-bound. Fabric ribbon, in particular, can be ironed and reused many times.

10. When the festivities are over, make sure all glass, plastic and aluminum containers from your holiday cheer go into the recycling bin. If your entertaining calls for plastic utensils, buy the thicker, more expensive versions. They are actually dishwasher safe, so you can reuse them many times before disposing them in the recycle bin. In the long run, this makes them a more economical choice and better for the environment than the cheaper versions.

11. Hold off on running the dishwasher until it is full. Frequent small loads wastes detergent, water and energy.

12. Keep stain sticks and stain wipes in convenient locations around the house so that even if the laundry has to pile up, stains can be treated promptly. This will help preserve those special holiday items so you can enjoy them again next year.

ing dirt and dust. Invest in a storage bag or bin so that the tree can be stored in a dust-free environment.

4. When doing your holiday shopping, take along some canvas tote bags so you can leave the paper and plastic shopping bags in the store.

THE LAND, DECEMBER 12, 2014

Although it wouldn’t be the holiday season without a bit of excess, just a little thoughtful effort and imagination can keep the celebration high and the environmental impact low.

1. A real tree can be a more sustainable option than an artificial tree. Because the latter is often made from petroleum products, when discarded, an artificial tree ends up in a landfill, where the plastic content makes it last forever. A real tree, on the other hand, can be turned into mulch, which protects plantings and returns the tree to Mother Earth.

2. Instead of a large cut tree, consider a smaller, live potted tree. Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to reuse the tree for two or three years without having to plant it or re-pot it. Once it gets too tall or too heavy for indoor use at the holidays, plant it outside.

3. In a household where someone suffers from allergies or asthma, an artificial tree may be a better choice because it doesn’t have the allergens of a real tree. To insure a longer life for this type of tree, follow the tree manufacturer’s instructions for remov-

Grain prices are effective cash close on Dec. 9. The price index chart compares an average of most recently reported local cash prices with the same average for a year ago. *Cash grain price change represents a two-week period.

Grain Outlook Seed orders running behind

Livestock Angles Markets are a battleground

Grain Angles Eight cash flow drivers

The following market analysis is for the week ending Dec. 5.

CORN — Corn edged lower for the first half of the week, before rebounding into the weekend to close 6 1⁄4 cents higher for the week at $3.95 per bushel.

March corn has been stuck between $3.75 and $4.01 1⁄4 per bushel since early November.

Early weakness was a result of a lack of fresh bullish news or business.

The market caught a bid at mid-week when a Monsanto official speaking at an investment conference stated that 2015 seed corn orders were running behind PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. last year.

St. Paul The U.S. Department of Agriculture will release their December crop report on Dec. 10. The average estimate for the Dec. 10 USDA crop report for U.S. ending stocks is 2.027 billion bushels and world ending stocks of 191.42 million metric tons. In November, the ending stocks numbers were 2.008 billion bushels for the United States and 191.50 mmt for world ending stocks.

On Dec. 15 updated certified planted acreage will be released. From 2009 through 2013, the average difference between the USDA planted acreage number and certified acres have been 3.23 million acres (USDA over-certified). If the Farm Service Agency acreage is significantly lower than the current USDA 90.9 million acres, it will likely push traders’ ideas in the direction of lower acreage expectations on the final January USDA report.

The livestock markets are a battleground between supply and demand. The funny thing is that the cattle and hog markets are just the opposite in their supply and demand ratios. The cattle are dealing with short supplies, while the hogs are faced with expanding supplies. On the demand side, beef is shrinking and pork is expanding mainly due to the price difference to the consumer. These battles will eventually change the direction of both the cattle and hog markets.

The struggle continues in the cattle market as the tight immediate supplies of cattle continue to force the packer to remain JOE TEALE aggressive in accumulating Broker inventory to fill the slaughter Great Plains Commodity needs. This has continued to Afton, Minn. keep finished prices near or at all-time highs. To compensate the packer has diligently tried to force the beef cutout prices higher to offset the high cost of production. As this is taking place more and more resistance has emerged by the retailer to the higher wholesale prices. Thus the demand for beef is contracting along with the supply of cattle.

At some point the supply-demand equation will be at parity and the high for cattle will emerge. Currently the cattle market appears to be getting closer to that point as the prices paid for live inventory seems to be fluctuating back and forth at these higher prices. For the first time in quite some time the Futures market has failed to make a new monthly high and closed lower for the month. Therefore, producers should approach the market with a

Although it’s impossible to precisely predict what will happen to margins in the grain industry, it is apparent that industry projections point toward compressed margins. Today’s compressed margin environment will push crop farmers to make improvements to cash flow drivers. We all know agriculture is a cyclical business that is becoming increasingly competitive. I’d like to highlight eight drivers that significantly impact cash flows of grain producers that may help you identify ways to make improvements on your farm.

1) Commodity Prices: We can’t control the market prices, but we can manage risk by lock- KURT LENSING ing in prices. For example, if you AgStar Assistant VP plan to plant more soybeans next and Industry Specialist Waite Park, Minn. year due to lower corn prices, have you protected a portion of your expected increased soybean production from further price decline? Farmers assume market risk by not selling just the same as if they sell everything at once. A written risk management plan can be very simple and does not have to involve complex contracts you do not understand.

2) Yields: This one gets a lot of attention since everyone knows increasing yields will lower the cost of production on all bushels. The hardest part is managing inputs to find the most profitable yield goal.

3) Land Rents: Property taxes seem to be increasing and farmers projected returns are mostly negative. This will be an area of great concern but must be addressed since it is typically the single largest expense.

Demand expands

LENSING, from pg. 18A 4) Other Operating Costs: The most profitable producers typically are good at controlling, not only the big three expenses, land, seed, and fertilizer but also all other expenses. Some farms have benchmarked themselves against their peers to help identify where improvements can be made.

5) Living Draws: This is an expense that sometimes gets overlooked, but, like in any business, controlling what and how much the owner withdraws is an area that some may be willing to adjust.

6) Income taxes: What are the implications of spending versus paying taxes?

7) Capital Spending: Have we made capital expenditures that can carry us through a couple years? Do we have non-productive assets on our balance sheet?

8) Finance Structure: This is an area that we can help you identify options that are tailored toward your farm. You may want to rebalance debt to help improve working capital and cash flow.

Improving your risk management plans, costs and yields are all areas to consider. Rebalancing how your debt is structured is also important. Regardless of your financial position and cash flow, it’s essential for you and your lender to understand what your current and future goals are. If you are looking to expand your farm for a future generation, considering retirement in coming years or just looking to maintain your farming operation for years to come; these goals will likely impact how you choose to control your cash flow drivers. As always having a vision for your future goals will likely have an impact on how you make important decisions today.

TEALE, from pg. 18A bit more caution and protect inventories when warranted.

The hog market is just the opposite of the cattle market. Demand for pork product appears to be expanding along with the number of hogs. The porcine epidemic diarrhea virus looks as if it has run its course for the time being and production is on the increase.

Because of the wide discrepancy between beef and pork, retailers are appearing to feature more pork than beef. This is bolstering the demand for pork simply because of price. So far this has not changed the hog market from a price decline. However, as the supply and demand picture closes in on equilibrium, the live price for hogs should begin to stabilize.

Now that winter is on the doorstep, weather will also become a factor in the price disposition of the overall market. Cold and winter storms could disrupt marketing and provide short term spikes in the market. Producers should stay on top of the market and take advantage of large premiums when provided to secure inventories. ❖

weeks. However, we only need sales to average 23 million bushels per week to hit the USDA’s 1.72 billion bushel forecast.

The monthly supply/demand report due to be published Dec. 10 is expected to show increased exports and a tighter carryout number of 427 million bushels. The current carryout is 450 million bushels, which would still leave a very comfortable carryout. On Dec. 15 we’ll get an update on certified planted acreage.

From 2009-2013, USDA planted acres have averaged 1.32 million acres higher than certified acres.

Informa Economics updated their world crop estimates this week in anticipation of the USDA’s Dec. 10 report. They are pegging Brazil’s bean crop at 93.5 mmt, up slightly from their previous estimate and compared to the last USDA estimate of 94.0 mmt. For Argentina, they are at 55.5 mmt, down 0.5 mmt from their last forecast. USDA’s November figure was 55 mmt and this week the U.S. attaché put Argentina’s bean crop at 57 mmt. There are presently no weather threats in South America. Brazil’s bean planting is over 90 percent complete and Argentina’s is 55 percent done.

OUTLOOK: Over the last 10 years, January soybeans have had a tendency to rally through December. Traders will be eyeing the monthly USDA crop report on the 10th, weekly export sales and South

NYSTROM, from pg. 18A If realized, March corn prices may respect the $3.60-$3.70 area as support.

Weekly ethanol production was moderately lower in the week that ended Nov. 28 at 962,000 barrels per day, but was still five percent higher than a year ago. Since the beginning of the crop year, production is running at an annualized grind of 5.2 billion bushels.

The USDA is projecting a grind of 5.150 billion bushels.

We’ll see how production stands up when gasoline is running at a fairly large discount to ethanol prices, which discourages discretionary blending.

Ethanol exports however are up 31 percent over last year at their highest point since 2011. This is keeping production margins comfortable. Weekly corn export sales were as expected as 29.3 million bushels and the highest in the last seven weeks, but are running behind the 34 million bushels we need to average on a weekly basis to achieve the UDSA’s 1.75 billion bushels export estimate.

Informa Economics cut their Brazilian corn crop estimate from 69.7 mmt to 68.7 mmt and lowered Argentina’s projection from 23 mmt to 22 mmt. The November USDA estimates were 75.0 mmt and 23.0 mmt respectively. Argentine corn planting is estimated at just 53 percent complete versus the 66 percent average for this time of year.

OUTLOOK: Heading into the end of the year, if crude oil continues to contract and funds head to the sidelines, it may well limit further upside potential in the agricultural sector if funds head to the sidelines. Crude oil is not believed to have seen its low yet after trading last week to its lowest level since July 2009 when it hit $63.72 per barrel.

Global supply outweighs demand and no one seems interested in being the first to cut production.

Saudi Arabia signaled their willingness to protect market share at the expense of price when the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries did not cut their production quota at the Nov. 27 meeting and this week cut January oil prices for the U.S. and Asian customers.

Crude oil and corn have a strong directional correlation; if crude oil continues to slide, March corn may struggle to push over $4.00 per bushel.

SOYBEANS — If not for Friday’s rally, soybeans would have had a losing week. The surge higher to end the week pushed January beans to a 20-cent gain for the week, closing at $10.36 per bushel. The January contract briefly slipped out of the $10.00 to $10.55 per bushel range that they’ve been trapped in since mid-November, hitting a new low for the week at $9.83 3⁄4 per bushel. This was short-lived after technical selling was fulfilled.

Weekly export sales were less than trade estimates at 67.9 million bushels and the lowest in seven

Church crew works together to cover silage piles

By RENAE B. VANDER SCHAAF The Land Correspondent Darkness was descending fast, a cool breeze was blowing Oct. 16. The day had already been filled with farm chores and work, whether at the veteri-

nary clinic, at home, grocery store or any other livelihood they pursued.

All that was forgotten. Now it was time to begin a work project that would benefit families in the Bethel Christian Reformed Church of Sioux Center,

Iowa, and a cattle feeder near Royal, Iowa.

For the past five years, members of the congregation have been donning work boots and gloves, getting dirty, dusty and stinky. Working shoulder-toshoulder, they physically assist dairy and cattle farmers who need large silage or earlage piles covered with plastic and tires.

“These are practically impossible to do alone or with just a few people,” said Jim Christensen. “The plastic is large that needs unrolling and securing without ripping, there are few windless nights, and it must be covered soon after harvest to promote good anaerobic fermentation and reduce spoilage.”

This was the first year that Jim and Julie Christensen, owners of Royal Beef and Christensen Feedlot, recruited the church workers. The church group was recommended to them by their custom chopper.

Pastor Lee: ‘The Body of Christ at its most beautiful’ The farmers have a lot of money invested in the piles and like them covered as soon as the chopping crews are done. We do our best to get there and get the job done.

Time, effort and coordination are required to pull off one of these work projects smoothly. For instance, manpower is needed, the more the better; a few of the bigger piles require 80-plus people, Vanden Berg said.

“It’s much more personal than just giving money. There’s the laughter and kidding around with fellow church members. In that camaraderie and sense of accomplishment that you feel when the job is done, this process binds us together,” said Vanden Berg.

Pastor John Lee sees Jesus at work in each project.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

The silage pile is tucked in tightly for the winter.

“It is great to see the church with its sleeves rolled up. The Incarnation is the miracle of God taking on human flesh and being born in a manger.

Silage piles are a parable of that,” said Lee. “This community C.S. Lewis described as ‘rooted in eternity, terrible as an army with banners’ serving with smudged work boots and torn work gloves. Mud on our faces and a common purpose in our hearts. That is the Body of Christ at its most beautiful.”

The Christensens said the service that the church work group provided was very helpful.

Bethel Christian Reformed Church has a worship attendance of 650 with a membership of 178 families. ❖

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

SILAGE, from pg. 20A Bethel members are on the chopping crew.

The payment is determined by the amount of tonnage that is in each pile.

The church has a suggested amount recommended for doing this service.

Then the money is used toward the church’s Fair Share program, which pays a portion of the tuition for church members who have children in the local Christian schools.

In the past, Christensen has relied on high school students and members of the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity at Iowa State University. Once Christensen had the earlage pile prepared, tires cleaned and ready, plastic twine cut as the tires needed tying together, it was time for the church work crew to come.

“Each situation is different,” said Wade Vanden Berg of Sioux Center.

“There is a bit of planning that goes into each pile so that the proper amount of machinery and manpower is at each pile.”

It’s not unusual to use pay loaders, loader tractors and telehandlers donated from church members.

The work project brings together the whole church. Young and old show up to help. Members bake bars and cookies or make sandwiches. Members work behind the scenes to organize each trip and church bus drivers transport workers.

“There were a couple weeks this fall, where we had a pile almost every night,” said Vanden Berg. “And even a Saturday morning. It gets to be a very busy season, but it is also a short season. The farmers have a lot of money invested in the piles and like them covered as soon as the chopping crews are

Dream turning ranch into gathering place for family, music, bygone ways

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

Richard Siemers

Robert Mohn is transforming his 13-acre farm site into a circa 1890s farmstead called Prairie Heritage Ranch in rural Green Valley, Minn. With his wife, Elaine, they host Country Christmas Gathering.

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent Robert and Elaine Mohn host a Country Christmas Gathering at their Prairie Heritage Ranch.

It is not a typical ranch, being situated in southwestern Minnesota between Marshall and Cottonwood. Much of it has not yet been realized as Robert Mohn pictures it.

“I had always kind of dreamed of living on a ranch,” he said. “I decided to make our place into a ranch.”

Mohn’s vision is not that of a cattle ranch, but of a place for family and the community to gather.

Some years back Mohn went through difficult times.

He had a grass seed business, and high commodity prices led to cultivation of grassland, cutting into the business. In addition, he sold his farmland, except for the building site, to pay off a bad business decision.

Mohn also had physical problems.

“I lost energy,” he said. Exams showed he had a defective heart valve. “I was so far gone they said my heart was down to 10 percent operational.”

In 2006, he had open heart surgery to replace the valve and get a triple bypass.

For a long time he had been thinking about providing a gathering place where folks could enjoy music and time together.

“I had eight hours to pray about it when I was waiting for surgery,” he said. “I told God if I made it through the surgery, I would come home and start doing this project. I didn’t have a real plan, but I just said I would come home and have some music.”

Labor of love The Mohns have a 13-acre building site. The first two to three years after surgery he wasn’t that strong, so he worked at cleaning up the place and the grove. All that work was good exercise, and as his health improved, he started to tackle the buildings.

“I’m in better shape than when I was 30,” said Mohn, who is now 63.

Mohn and his two sons are rebuilding the grass seed business, and he plans to purchase land back someday. The older son harvests the seed in South Dakota, which Mohn brings back to his place just north of Green Valley and cleans. His younger son operates Green Valley Seed, handling the sales. The Mohns also have a daughter, who is a missionary.

Since Prairie Heritage Ranch is a labor of love, Mohn is not concerned that his vision is far from complete. He works at it mostly by himself, and the seed business has to come first. He has also spent time getting materials from old buildings that have been donated to him. The old material fits with the goal of a farm site with an 1890s era look.

He isn’t dreaming small. He wants to turn the barn into a kind of bunkhouse where folks can stay and food is served. He has a spot cleared for a horse arena because he has nursed some rescued horses back to health. Another old building, he will convert to a pavilion where folks can assemble to watch the horses or dance to live music.

See RANCH, pg. 23A

Mohn working on dream to create old-time fun events like to encourage people. I’m hoping that by having this gathering place, people have fun and maybe I can add some fun to a person’s life.”

For details on events, check his web-

site, www.prairieheritageranch.com. If you’re curious about kicksledding, search the term on the internet to see pictures of what looks like a scooter on runners. ❖

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

His wife, Elaine, helps organize the events. She has been real supportive, saying that this is his dream and he’s going to work it out. He would like to host four events a year for neighbors and the region and, most of all, provide a place for children and grandchildren to get together.

If you stop in these days, however, don’t expect to see Prairie Heritage Ranch looking like an 1890s theme park.

The realization of the dream is slow going. But as Mohn continues to piece together this dream, the vision toward which he is working continues to provide healing and is all-around good therapy.

“After surgery, time doesn’t mean anything to me anymore,” he said. “If it takes a while to get it done, I just enjoy doing what I’m doing. I always try to think of something positive when there is negative happening.”

Robert Mohn has learned that adversity is not the end of life. In fact, sometimes it provides a new beginning.

“I considered myself a Christian before surgery, but now I’m much more dedicated to helping others,” he said. “I

RANCH, from pg. 22A In line with the 1890s look, he has a collection of horse-drawn equipment, and envisions a work horse museum along with field demonstrations. He also plans to plant an orchard where visitors can pick apples during the September Heritage Harvest Gathering.

“I enjoy the work,” he said. “It’ll never get done because when I get something completed, I’ll just think of something else.”

This year was the fourth for the Heritage Harvest Gathering. The weekend event featured bands playing gospel, bluegrass, polkas —“old time music” as Mohn calls it. There was picking corn by hand, horse drawn hayrides, a barbecue using a wood cook stove, and cowboy church. He said many of those attending drove from a distance.

The Sunday afternoon Country Christmas Gathering has a chuck wagon barbecue, a bluegrass gospel band, and kicksledding, in addition to Christmas music and Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus, a role one could easily see Mohn playing himself.

Cover story: Barn dance honors ‘golden’ couple

By RENAE B. VANDER SCHAAF The Land Correspondent JACKSON, Minn. — It was an evening to remember. The end of a perfect summer day. The kind of day one dreams about this time of year — sunshine, warmth, but not too hot or humid; a slight, gentle breeze. Yes, that fourth Saturday in August, was perfect for an old-fashioned barn dance.

Dave and Sandee Svoboda capitalized on the idea of celebrating their golden anniversary with a dance, but not just any place or dance would do.

Recalling the bit they knew of the family’s history, they decided it would be a bit more special to make the Wilhelm barn come alive again, if only for this special night.

THE LAND, DECEMBER 12, 2014 << www.TheLandOnline.com >>

BARN DANCE, from pg. 24A Once agreed on, plans were made for a traditional barn dance, complete with a polka dance band, straw bales, lanterns and food.

“My grandfather Henry Wilhelm built the barn in 1924, obviously for livestock and storing hay,” Dave said. “He also put in a special floor for hosting barn dances.”

The farm was often referred to as Joe Wilhelm’s, a son of Henry.

For four years, 1925 through 1928, the Wilhelm farm place filled up with Ford Model Ts, Dodge Touring automobiles, and probably a horse and buggy or two for the Sunday night dances. They began the first Sunday after Easter and continued to the last Sunday in September. Dave estimates that 97 dances were held.

The family put a lot of effort into planning these dances. They secured dance orchestras from across the Midwest. Handbills were posted announcing the next dance. The Svoboda family still has a few of the original handbills from which they had copies made.

Those were displayed in the barn along with an original “No Smoking” sign from 1925.

In keeping with tradition, handbills were made announcing the anniversary dance.

“My mother, Alma, her sister, Ann, and their mother — my grandma, Josephine Wilhelm — spent Saturdays baking cakes and cookies on the old cookstove that was heated with wood,” said Dave. “Those were served free, but pop and Kool-Aid were sold.”

The building is a Wisconsin-style barn, a rarity in See BARN DANCE, pg. 26A

The hay carrier would pick up the hay from the wagon delivering it east or west, dropping it where it would be stored for winter feeding.

Built of tile and mortar, the barn still stands tall and straight.

There was room for milking 40 dairy

ter Marge was dating Chuck Svoboda, Dave’s brother. Before Chuck left to serve in active duty in the National Guard, he told Dave about Sandee. By the time he returned, the couple were making wedding plans for Aug. 1, 1964.

(Chuck and Marge married in 1965).

Dave and Sandee were married in the St. Wenceslaus Church in Jackson.

They settled down on another farm site amidst Wilhelm farming relatives.

Working together on their cattle and grain farm, the couple occasionally took time off to attend dances at Fox Lake Ballroom in Sherburn or the nearby Sioux Valley Log Cabin Ballroom.

Sandee was as comfortable driving any farm machinery as cooking a hearty meal for their three children — Doyle, Dave and Pam. Doyle continues to farm with his parents.

For this golden anniversary celebration, they chose Minnesota celebrity Wally Pikal and his band to provide the music. Pikal plays any music but rock ’n’ roll. He is a master of many musical instruments, but it was his talent with the trumpet that gained him national attention. Pikal could play not one, not two, but three trumpets all at the same time. At age 87, he still manages to play two trumpets simultaneously.

Many of the guests walking to the

barn were side-tracked. The 1931 Model A coupe’s rumble seat started many conversations. The Svodobas restored the auto to perfect condition.

A hay loader from the 1930s brought back a few memories for many. A wooden Rock Island Special running gear purchased in 1911 by Dave’s great uncle now serves as the base for a wagon.

Other original buildings on the farm include a house built in 1885, which was added to in 1908. When Dave’s grandfather built a corn crib in 1898, he was told by a neighbor that is was too big. There was no way the 205-acre farm could produce enough corn to fill it, the neighbor said.

That same year the corn crib was built, Henry Wilhelm’s brother Ed also built a Wisconsin-style barn. It was built of wood held together with wooden pegs. Located across the road from the tile barn, it, too, still stands true.

The enchanted August evening was indeed a special night for all at Dave and Sandee’s wedding anniversary barn dance. The Svobodas and all who attended enjoyed the fun night on the farm.

Congratulations to the Svobodas on this special anniversary, and wishes for many more. ❖

Many different themes for Christmas decorations TREES, from pg. 28A themed ornaments, the other with gingerbread ornaments.

Four trees in the family room parade in front of a large window. One also has a kitchen theme, along with a Santa-filled tree, one with frog ornaments, and another with a patriotic theme. Two tabletop trees on a buffet have garden themes.

Among Elly’s favorites are two in her bedroom, covered with shoes, purses, and hats.

“A lot of the shoes were gifts,” Elly said. “When people know what you collect, they add to your collection.”

Elly taught school for many years, and Mark is soon to retire as a teacher, so they have received numerous ornaments from students.

One of Mark’s favorites is a collection of clock-themed ornaments, and he always has an eye for a bargain. A tabletop metal ornament tree is hung with glass ornaments of vegetables, all of which he purchased for a pittance at a sale.

The largest tree is in the living room, and each time they set it up, it is a walk down memory lane. There is a story to go with each ornament. Some they purchased as souvenirs on their travels around the United States.

Others are commemorative ornaments from the anniversary of their former country church, and of the year they moved to Tyler. Still others are gifts — some handmade — from family and friends. This tree holds the ornament they received from the funeral home the first Christmas after Clarence’s death.

More decorations Trees aren’t the only decorations filling the house. A Christmas village is displayed year-round. There is also a Santa collection, a display related to the book “A Cup of Christmas Tea,” and a set of shelves with a postal theme, which recall Clarence’s time as a mail carrier and a postmaster.

As you may expect, having all of these decorations is not for the faint of heart, since it takes a few days to set up and take down every year. Mark has learned a few shortcuts. The smaller trees he stores fully decorated.

With the other trees, he packs away the ornaments with the larger ones on top.

“That way I can put them on first, then fill in with the smaller ones,” he said.

For the non-tree decorations, he uses photographs to set them up the same from year to year. No one would ever notice, since you can’t possibly take in

all the decorations on one visit.

Back to the trees. A Swedish tree is hung with straw ornaments, reflecting their Swedish heritage, but there is also a German themed tree, since Clarence was a German-Swedish mix.

The tree filled with silver ornaments gleams like a jewel.

One tree in the basement has “oldfashioned” ornaments, including the candle-shaped bubble lights. In fact, the trees display a number of styles of lights they have collected — roses, vegetables, fruit, stars, lanterns. They’ve also collected a variety of garland.

Even before all the decorations are up, the baking begins for their Christmas gathering. Just thinking about all the work of baking and decorating might tire some folks out, but not this mother-son duo. As you may have guessed, Christmas is a favorite season of the Schwanebecks. One visit to Elly’s home leaves no doubt in your mind. ❖

watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.

This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and yours, from everyone at The Land

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored!

The Lord is with you.”

Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.”

“How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”

The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God.” “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it be to me as you have said.” Then the angel left her.

At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!”

And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me — holy is his name.

His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble.

He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, even as he said to our fathers.”

Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, 31 who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread A the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.

But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise him, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he had been conceived. When the time of their purification according to the Law of Moses had been completed, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”), and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”

Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.

Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts.

When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your servant in peace. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all people, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel.”

The child’s father and mother marveled at what was said about him. Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: “This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.”

There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, and then was a widow until she was 84. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying. Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.

When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth. And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

went to his own town to register.

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

Lark Toys, Kellogg, Minn.

iny Kellogg, Minn., just south of Wabasha, is home to one of the 10-best toy shops in the United States, according to Reader’s Digest. It’s also the best toy shop in Minnesota, according to WCCO-TV. But you don’t have to take their word. Go with your kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews or neighbor kids. Or all by yourself.

Lark Toys has perched on a hill, in a nondescript brown building, above Highway 61 for the last quarter century. It started with lovely handmade wooden toys crafted for the Kreofsky family children. Those wooden toys are still made by Lark and available for sale in the store, which has mushroomed to 20,000 square feet of delight for children, parents, grandparents and anybody with a child still lurking somewhere in their soul.

Just in case you have no need for marbles, puzzles, books, bath and beach toys, dragons, costumes, brightly polished rocks, toy trains, puppets, dolls, stuffed animals, chemistry sets, toy tractors and airplanes, lunch buckets, masks, a teepee, and, oh you get the idea, you or your young friend can just sit down at the childsized tables and play.

You can choo-choo on the wooden toy train a bit or conquer Greenland with the Viking helmets and masks like the two seven-year-olds we saw did.

Bored? Go visit the hand-carved 15-foot Stegosaurus in her jungle cave or chat up the friendly river monster that decided to live in the toy store because he likes children.

We went to Lark Toys without intending to buy anything. But the place made us so happy, we bought a cute wooden rabbit on wheels and two secret items that only Santa knows about. In case you don’t want to shop for toys you can visit the toy museum called Memory Lane. Beware! If you, like us, are of a certain age you may be shocked to discover toys from your childhood in the museum. A museum!

“My God! That’s my dollhouse in that display,” gasped one pretty silver-haired visitor.

If you do suffer such a shock you can take a ride on a carousel populated with deer, dragons, horses, swans, giraffes and loons all hand-carved by Lark’s artisan wood carvers.

That’ll show ’em you’re still a kid at heart. ❖

MIELKE, from pg. 5B 2013. Nonfat dry milk output totaled 132 million pounds, up 15.1 percent from September and an eye grabbing 54.1 percent above a year ago.

The Daily Dairy Report says, While this was the highest butter output for October in the past decade, the uptick in production has done little to rebuild U.S. stocks at this point in the year.

American-type cheese totaled 383 million pounds, up 1.2 percent from September and 3.2 percent above a year ago. Italian-type, at 421 million pounds, was up 1.2 percent from September and 2.9 percent above a year ago. Total cheese output for October amounted to 977 million pounds, up 3.5 percent from September and 2.3 percent above a year ago.

FC Stone reports the average Global Dairy Trade butter price equated to about $1.2924 per pound U.S., up from $1.2048 in the Nov. 18 event. Contrast that to Chicago Mercantile Exchange butter which closed Dec. 5 at $1.9850 per pound. The GDT Cheddar cheese average was $1.3686 per pound U.S., up from $1.2978. The U.S. block Cheddar CME price closed Dec. 5 at $1.58 per pound. GDT skim milk powder, at $1.0992 per pound U.S., is up from $1.0429, and the whole milk powder average at $1.0111 U.S., is down from $1.0885 in the last event.

The CME Grade A nonfat dry milk price closed Dec. 5 at $1.11 per pound.

■ Cash cheese prices saw a fourth week of decline, with the blocks closing the first Friday of December at $1.58 per pound, down 10.25 cents on the week, 29.25 cents below a year ago, and the lowest block price since March 6, 2013. The 500-pound barrels stopped at $1.55, down 9.75 cents on the week, 28.25 cents below a year ago, and a more typical three cents below the blocks. Seven cars of block and 11 of barrel traded hands on the week in the spot market.

The lagging National Dairy Products Sales Reportsurveyed U.S. average block price plunged 11.1 cents, to $2.0229, while the barrels averaged $1.9683, down 12.5 cents.

Midwest cheese production is mostly steady but ahead of current buyer interest, according to Dairy Market News. Surplus milk is being purchased by some cheese makers near $3 below Class. This is encouraging cheese production beyond current buyer interest, keeping production schedules active. Surplus milk near $5 below Class is anticipated near the week of Christmas.

Western cheese output is steady for retail buyers, the market is softening, and inventories are uneven.

Many manufacturers are meeting orders but remain wary of growing inventories. Lower prices of foreign cheese concerns manufacturers, but opportunities to export are still presenting themselves. Some manufacturers, who have been exporting cheese to Mexico, are increasingly being challenged on price by other regions, making it difficult to profitably compete.

Cash butter, dropped 4.75 cents Monday, then reversed gears Tuesday jumping 6.25 cents, and closed Friday at $1.9850, up 1.50 cents on the week See MIELKE, pg. 7B

Seems USDA is a little behind in reporting fluid sales.

July sales of conventional products, at 3.73 billion pounds, were down 4 percent from a year ago; organic products, at 205 million, were up 8.3 percent. Organic represented about 5.2 percent of total sales for the month.

January-July 2014 total packaged fluid milk sales, at 28.94 billion pounds, were down 2.6 percent from the same period a year earlier.

Year-to-date sales of conventional products, at 27.5 billion pounds, were

tal premiums, dairy farmers can cover up to $8 margin swings,” said Vilsack.

“Those who apply this year will receive a slight increase in production protection that will not be available in the future.

Farmers who do not sign up for the MPP for 2015 will forfeit the 1 percent base production increase. For a 400cow operation, this would equate to an additional 80,000 pounds of milk that are eligible for coverage. It's a small step to take to ensure your business is covered.”

Uncle Sam’s new dairy safety net appears to have a few holes in it.

Signup wasn’t going as expected, according to Bob Gray, editor of the Northeast Dairy Farmers Cooperatives Dec. 2 newsletter.

Gray reported that just 6,132 applications for MPP signups in 2015 had been received by Farm Service Agencies, as of last week. Of that number, 2,668 dairy producers had purchased insurance above the $4.00 basic margin level, only six percent of the 45,000 dairy farmers across the U.S. Another 2,895 producers completed the necessary paperwork in their local FSA offices so they will be able to go back

and elect a specific margin level, if they so choose.

Gray advised his readers to take advantage of the program as farm milk prices are expected to drop significantly in the months ahead. He reminded producers that, if they do not sign up by Dec. 19, they cannot get MPP coverage for 2015.

National Milk praised the extension of the MPP and, in Thursday’s DairyLine, Chris Galen echoed lower milk prices ahead in 2015 and the need for producers to protect themselves.

He said the $100 fee for the “barebones protection” was worth the cost.

The basic plan may be all they need, according to Galen, as the futures portend that 2015 won’t be as good as 2014, but it won’t be a “bad year, as we look at them right now in early December.”

He emphasized the importance of signing up so that the percentage increase in 2014 milk output gets applied to an individual producer’s production history.
