We had it good, despite Grandma pushing lima beans OPINION
• In 2013, according to Harvard University, Americans spent “an estimated $190 billion treating obesity-related health conditions.” • Also, in 2013, U.S. organic sales (which USDA does not track) totaled an estimated $35.1 billion, an 11.5 percent increase from 2012 but still only 18.4 percent of the amount we spent to treat obesityrelated health problems that year. What’s it all mean, fellow former foodies? According to that brief survey, most of us ate less sugar and less fat when we ate more fresh, more local food at home 40 or 50 years ago than what we buy and eat (mostly) in town today. Also, most of us were skinnier and healthier (as
were our parents when compared to us today) and all of us had more neighbors and more community — local banks, medical care, grocery and clothing stores and the like — than almost any of us have anywhere in rural America today. In short, we had it very, very good — despite Grandma pushing the pickle beets and lima beans every chance she got. Little wonder, then, that a new food culture, a foodie culture, is taking root across the United States now. These folks just want to eat like we used to.

Commentary: Small, medium-sized family farms are state’s ‘real ag’ As a state legislator representing rural Minnesota, I believe that it’s important we articulate a future for rural Minnesota that includes a place for small and medium-sized family farms. Indeed, I think a key to a vibrant rural Minnesota is creating policies that support and encourage more small and medium-sized family farmers. These operations are the types of small businesses that spend money on Main Street and that can help attract young people back to rural Minnesota. That’s why I was disappointed to read about Sen. Julie Rosen, at a meeting of the Senate Rural Task Force, contrasting a 320-acre diversified crop and livestock farm with an 8,000-cow dairy saying, “That’s not real ag, this is.” Dismissing a farm because they graze or use other sustainable farming practices is wrong. Holding up an 8,000-cow megadairy as what it means to be “real ag” sends the wrong signal to the many people wanting to begin farming and those already farming. To put this issue in perspective, according to the University of Minnesota there are 3,808 dairy farms in our state and only 76 (two percent) of them are even larger than 500 cows. Holding up the biggest of the big as “real ag” and demeaning average-sized family farms won’t lead to farm policies that move rural Minnesota forward. The fact is we need more farmers on the land, not fewer. We must measure success not on how many
OPINION
These operations are the types of small businesses that spend money on Main Street and that can help attract young people back to rural Minnesota. cows or hogs we have in rural Minnesota, but how many farmers we have raising cows and hogs. There are some very tough issues facing new farmers, including not just the cost of land, but access to any land at all. I’m committed to finding answers to the tough questions facing our farmers, including how best to support our existing dairy farm families, especially when we have low milk prices, and how we use the growing demand for local, sustainably raised foods to put more farmers on the land. I think finding answers to these questions and others like them is key to creating a vibrant rural Minnesota. I’m talking with farmers and farm groups now about what polices we can implement at the state level to best support them. I welcome you to contact me with any ideas you may have at (800) 920-5882. This commentary was submitted by David Bly, Minnesota State Representative, District 20B. Bly is a member of the House Committees on Agriculture Policy and Agriculture Finance. ❖
Letter: Young farmer forced to defend career against ‘city slickers’ To the Editor: Today’s farmer is far and few between, their lifestyle is one of very little time for family, friends and vacation. Farmers used to be together, standing proud, one voice to share their livelihood with the world. Due to the lifestyle that farming brings to the individual who chooses farming as a career, farmers are a dying breed. These thoughts bring me to a recent public hearing in the Dodge County (Minn.) Courthouse, where a young man walked in to defend his career of choice against a band of people who had already temporarily stopped his operation to help feed this country and support his family. In this hearing, the facts about this operation were supposed to be heard and discussed. What actually happened was very different — the elderly man in charge of this band of people turned a public hearing into a high school name-calling and down-grading brawl. Did this man let time and age diminish his memories of where he started, when he, too, was a young man with livestock? Or was it the intruding uninvolved parties from the Cities who raise a ruckus and then go home, turning neighbor against neighbor? They lose no sleep as they park their car in their suburb garage, yet our young man involved in this story is up all night trying to figure out how to pay his bills.
There are already in place many regulations, permits, inspections and a whole heap of red tape to abide by to even try to own or raise a small herd of livestock in Dodge County. Why this band of people need to leave their offices to come to our small community and get trouble started, only they know. All the regulations are in place to keep the community and the county safe. If a young man or woman wants to start a livestock operation and the county agrees that they have met all regulations of that particular county and/or state, the community should commend them for taking on such a career. As for our city slicker troublemakers, what will you do when there is no more pork, beef, chicken, milk or eggs in your grocery stores for you to feast on, or maybe the prices are too high for even you to afford? Because you have forced all of our livestock growers to close and scared off the next generation, like our young man in this story. Fortunately in this story, our young man had his public hearing and they saw through the band of people opposing his operation; Dodge County granted the young man permission to continue with his livestock operation and now he, too, can sleep at night.

Letter: Social Security recipients not socialists To the Editor: The Land staff writer Dick Hagen loves to use the “S” word in his columns. Just recently, in his Dec. 19 “Land Minds” column he once again tossed out his favorite verbal red herring. He said Bill Wilson, a fellow he follows, wrote, “We have become a socialist state in dire financial condition.” Hagen then proceeded to write: “To which I agree; the figures pure and simple tell the story of the growing travails of this great country of ours.” According to his column there are 158.3 million people receiving some form of government benefit. As a Social Security recipient, Hagen said he’s one of the myriad socialists feeding at the government wallow. By including Social Security payments as one of the socialist projects bringing our great nation to its arthritic knees, Hagen and Wilson just smoke me. I am not a socialist. I am a card-carrying Social Security recipient and a libertarian, small-government-loving, petty capitalist. And over the last 50 years I’ve contributed some tens-of-thousands of dollars to my retirement insurance fund. That the fund is managed by the government, and not Hagen

and Wilson’s buddies at Merrill Lynch, Enron or some other failed government welfare cash cow for corporate capitalist crooks, is good by me. Thanks to the efficiency of the Social Security Administration, I’m drawing money from my retirement insurance account just like Hagen is. Retirement insurance
just isn’t socialism and as somebody who has worked hard for over a half a century to build up my account I resent his repeated claim that it is. Hagen should be happy to know the truth — he’s not a socialist. Tim King Long Prairie
To the Editor: I have to laugh when I read Dick Hagen’s nonsense. He writes for a farm magazine. No other part of society with the wealth of farmers has their hand out looking for more. He writes about extreme challenges. The taxpayers are paying the lion’s share of the cost to cover farmers for nearly any kind of loss they could have. Does he have any idea what is going on? Land that was worth $1,000 an acre not that long ago is now bringing $10,000. If you are a carpenter and you have a bad year, you’re on your own. If you have two or three bad years as some did, you lost your house! These farmers he’s feeling sorry for have left for Florida for the winter. Their five months of work is done. Who else lives like that?
I had an uncle from Iowa who built a million dollars’ worth of buildings on his farm — free. The taxpayers paid for them at the time with 26.5-cent storage payments that were paid to farmers by the government in order to store corn. Yep, those people working for the Walton family need to get going in life if they are going to pay for millionaire farmers’ winter vacations and increase the Walton’s wealth from the 40 percent on the bottom end that they already equal their wealth. Yes, it’s a shame we have people like Senator Elizabeth Warren who really do care about people, causing rich people a little heartburn. Tommy Stiles Henning, Minn.

west is a testament to the quality of the show,” said IPPA President Jamie Schmidt, a Garner hog farmer. “You’d be hard pressed to find what the Iowa Pork Congress offers anywhere else.” At least 281 different companies covering all facets of the pork industry will be represented at the tradeshow in more than 530 booth spaces. Iowa’s status as the leading pork producing state in the U.S. is recognized by companies worldwide and the exhibitor list includes many international firms that market products and services of interest to pork producers. Several companies will be introducing new offerings to the marketplace during the show. IPPA will welcome attendees to the Pork Information Plaza on the north tradeshow floor where guests can visit with Iowa’s producer leaders and representatives from the National Pork Board, National Pork Producers Council and other affiliated organizations. Damian Mason, known as “Agriculture’s Professional Funny Man,” will deliver the keynote presentation on Jan. 28 at 2 p.m. He will call on his sharp wit and intelligent humor in discussing modern ag trends, challenges and what lies ahead in telling farming’s story. Mason, the owner-operator of a beef, grain and hay farm, has addressed more than 1,600 audiences in all 50 states and eight foreign countries. Attendees will be able to expand their pork producing knowledge at any of the several business seminars that will be offered at Pork Congress. Sessions on Iowa regulations and nuisance cases, Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea virus, pit foaming, economic forecasts, policy and more will be facilitated by some of the industry’s best sources. IPPA has made arrangements to show Academy Award-winning filmmaker James Moll’s feature length documentary “Farmland” on Jan. 29. The film takes viewers inside the world of farming and the lives of six young farmers and ranchers in their 20s. Hog farmers also will be able to obtain or renew their Pork Quality Assurance Plus and Transport Quality Assurance certifications, and a certification session for confinement site manure applicators is being offered. IPPA is excited to host its 7th annual Youth Swine Judging Contest on Jan. 29 at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. Future Farmers of America and 4-H members from across Iowa are expected to journey to Des Moines to learn more about pork production, compete for scholarships and attend the tradeshow. “Despite the industry’s disease challenges, 2014 has been a pretty good year for most everyone associated with pork and we hope that producers can attend the show and get 2015 off to a great start,” Schmidt said.

How to handle care resistance from older adults Uprooting an elderly loved one and moving them into your home is difficult enough, but add to that the resistance you may receive, and the caregiving becomes an all-encompassing activity. Your loved one’s natural tendency is to resist care and assistance, if only because they do not want to think of themselves as old or frail. Often caregivers will become easily angered and irritated at the thought of a loved one refusing care and this conflict can be very damaging to the entire caregiver-care recipient experience. Understanding the stress and loss of independence your loved one faces when they give up their home is the first step in easing the tense situation. Here are a few other ideas that may be helpful if you are experiencing any resistance in your daily caregiving. • Allow the loved one to have a part in the decision making process surrounding their care and well-being. Do not let them feel they have no part in their future, and allow them the chance to voice
their view about the care they would like to receive. • The older adult may want to start a fight or bring up past actions that occurred, but remain focused on the matter of their care, and do not take part and say anything you may regret later. • Remember to think of your own needs, and set limits in the amount of work you’re willing to take on. Perhaps you provide the in-home care for them, but are unwilling to bathe them, yet your loved one refuses to allow a home-care aide to assist you. Explaining your feelings to your relative and being honest with what you’re willing to help with can allow you the control of the situation. • Be willing to work with the older adult in order to find some kind of agreement. Whether they refuse full-time care and you disagree entirely, consider alternatives such as a weekly visit from a health aide and Meals on Wheels service that may ease tension and be agreed upon by both of you.

After all, there are many who have never been blessed with family to create such a wonderful consumer of time, water and laundry soap. She will remember that caring about weather and markets will do more for her marriage than the local beautician ever could. Beauty is fleeting — and the weather and markets often make sure that happens. If you both get the same worry lines, who really cares about them? She will resolve to take better care of her husband by suggesting more firmly that he go to a doctor when necessary, then see to it that he extracts himself from the farm to go to an appointment. The farm wife runs many errands, but since his teeth and other samples they need are inside of him, there is only so much she can do about running that errand for him. Finally, she resolves to stop making promises. Once when she did that she ended up having to wash manure-laden clothing and deal with the markets for the rest of her life. Dang, that fine print.

CAREGIVING, from pg. 12A • Realize that they are more than likely not going to be happy about the situation, and focus on maintaining the quality of care. They may not look forward to having someone bathe them and cook for them, but you can see a difference in their care and let the senior in time grow accustomed to the change. • Do not make the situation entirely about them, instead allow them to see it through your eyes to get an idea the work you put forth. Tell them the stress and workload you face and their understanding and willingness to resist you in the future may be lessened. They will look at it as an opportunity to help you in the process of them receiving the aid. • Work up to changing your loved one’s life and do not suddenly start changing everything they have grown accustomed to over the years. Alert them to any fears you may have, prepare them for any changes, and be as calm and positive as possible to reassure them it is for the best. • Plan ahead in case of a sudden decline in health or hospitalization, because it is at these moments where you may face little resistance and can alter their daily care in the manner you see appropriate.

Location, quality driving current land values As 2014 came to a close, land values had stabilized from the double digit increases of the past few years, according to Farmers National Company, the nation’s leading farm and ranch real estate company. Location and quality of land continue to be main drivers of prices for a given tract of land. The lower supply of land for sale and the continued demand for agricultural land is maintaining general stability of the land market. “While lower grade land has seen drops in value near 15 percent from recent highs, top quality crop and grazing land still bring solid prices as owner operators and investors seek to expand their operations with the
most productive land,” said Randy Dickhut, FNC vice president of real estate operations. According to FNC, the supply of land for sale is less than in the past few years as there is no tax policy change driving sales and landowners remain tight holders of the asset. “Land is viewed as a long term asset and owners consider agricultural land a stable investment in a changing world,” said Dickhut. Demand for cropland and grazing land from owner operators remains good, but buyers are being more realistic in what they will pay given lower grain prices. Sellers are having to be realistic in evaluating the quality of their land and the expected selling
price in order to have a successful sale. Despite leveling or moderately decreasing land values overall, FNC has seen strong prices paid for specific properties within the last 60 days based on local competition and the desire for quality. According to Dickhut, farmland seldom comes up for sale in many locations, therefore local producers are willing to pay top dollar to grow their operation and asset base. Recent value adjustments in the land market still leave land values at historically high levels in the longer term view. Price softening is happening, but at different rates depending on the region, prices for major commodities in that region, and quality of the land. Profitability from record crop incomes supported by insurance coverage, has kept farm operations in the black and producers interested in adding land. “Buyers are being more realistic when considering land purchases which has reduced the fervor of rapidly escalating
prices seen at land auctions in recent years,” said Dickhut. “Owner operators continue to be the main purchasers of agricultural land comprising nearly 90 percent of buyers in many areas.” Investors are showing up in the market to purchase land, but are also being realistic in the timing of their purchases and the long term outlook for agricultural land. Profitability in recent years has left many farm owners cash rich and opting for land purchases for personal and business investments. The tangibility of land and the ability to grow their operation makes land a preferred investment for the owner operator. Producers are being more realistic with their land purchases as they give more attention to the economics of the asset and seek increased financing.

Alfalfa mulch shows potential as nitrogen source By TIM KING The Land Correspondent MADISON, Minn. — Farm research in Minnesota and research done at the University of Manitoba at Winnipeg show that chopped alfalfa mulch can be a source of nitrogen and other nutrients for crops such as corn, barley, and wheat. Carmen Fernholz, an organic farmer near here, no longer has a livestock enterprise on his farm and thus has no on-farm produced manure to provide nitrogen. He normally purchases manure from his neighbor but four years ago he decided to see what would happen if he put some of the alfalfa that he raised back into the soil on his farm. “In our current agricultural climate, many organic and conventional producers have operations without livestock,” Fernholz said. “Alfalfa is grown for its soil-building attributes. However, when the alfalfa is harvested as hay and sold off the farm, nutrients essential to plant growth are also exported in the hay.” In 2010, Fernholz received a two-year demonstration grant from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s Energy and Sustainable Agriculture Program. His idea was to see what kind of a nitrogen boost corn and barley ground would receive if he applied hay mulch to the field. “If the project is successful, it will go a long way in alleviating the growing issue of low fertility on my farm,” Fernholz wrote in his grant application. “The alfalfa mulch should also improve weed manage-

— Carmen Fernholz ment and enhance soil structure. On-farm production of fertility should reduce input costs and increase income by allowing me to maintain my certified organic status.” “The concern that I had prior to establishing a working relation with my neighbor on his livestock manure was that I was exporting significant amounts of Phosphorous and potash off of the farm when selling the alfalfa as a cash crop instead of being able to feed it to livestock,” he said recently. In late August of 2010, following a winter wheat harvest, he used a side delivery hay processor to shred one ton round bales of alfalfa into a mulch. An analysis of the alfalfa when it was applied showed that the mulch treatment provided 465 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Fernholz describes the layer of mulch as “reason-

ably even.” He incorporated the mulch with a chisel plow and in the spring planted barley. Fernholz did get a boost in fertility and yields by applying alfalfa mulch. In addition to the full rate of application he also did a plot with half that quantity of mulch and another plot without any mulch. Interestingly, the half rate mulch plots saw the biggest boost in available nitrogen and phosphorous whereas the full rate plots saw the largest increase in potassium. “Due to a narrow window for harvest, no yield data were collected from the barley plots in 2011,” Fernholz said. “However, visual differences in the plots were easily observed prior to harvest. The full rate mulch plots were darker green, had fuller grain heads, and plants were fully six inches taller than the control plots. The half rate mulch plots were visibly different from both the full rate plots and the controls in both height and density.” In 2011, following the barley harvest, Fernholz repeated the alfalfa mulch application in the same manner. He planted corn in the plots in 2012. It was a dry year so corn yields were down somewhat. The overall field average was 141 bushels per acre. “Yields were significantly higher where the mulch had been applied,” he said. “The half rate and full rate mulch yielded 149 and 153 bushels per acre, respectively.” See ALFALFA, pg. 19A

“If practical methods of field-scale application can be developed, using alfalfa as mulch will be an avenue for "straight-grain" organic farmers to increase alfalfa acreage in order to capture its soil building benefits,” Wiens wrote. Farm decisions Fernholz, who did have a field-scale application method, chose not to adapt the mulch-for-N system after his grant expired. He feels that the approach has potential but that a system to apply the mulch more evenly needs to be developed. He also believes that the time required to harvest and apply the nitrogen-as-alfalfa is too great. Finally, with high alfalfa prices, the nitrogen obtained was fairly expensive. “One can estimate that there are about 55 to 60 pounds of nitrogen in a good ton of alfalfa,” he said. “As a result we are looking at lots of dry alfalfa to meet the nitrogen needs. One can use green chop alfalfa which is much higher in protein but then the issue becomes all of the time, effort and equipment necessary to accomplish it. We need to address the overall cost,” he said. Researchers in the University of Minnesota’s Agronomy and Soil Science Departments have continued the work Fernholz began on alfalfa mulch as a source of nitrogen. They did not respond to requests for information about their research. ❖

Cover story: Growing interest in non-GMO seed By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer OLIVIA, Minn. — Ed Baumgartner, 54-year-old president of 3MG North, the Olivia-based seed firm with the mission to reintroduce new non-genetically modified corn hybrids, is bucking the trend. Most seed companies have spent millions over the past decade introducing new GMO hybrids. “My tendency is to go the opposite direction of what everyone else is doing. So if everyone was working on trans-genes, we figured the nonGMO market was a good place and that’s why we keep our focus on non-GMO, conventional breeding,” said Baumgartner. Without disclosing customers, Baumgartner said his firm had 14 hybrids produced this season by various seed companies for sale into the 2015 grow-
ing season. And he hopes that might triple for the 2016 growing season. “We think we’re on the verge within the next two years of significantly improving our presence in the marketplace,” said Baumgartner. The timing of 3MG (3rd Millenium Genetics) appears to be remarkable. Crashing commodity prices combined with expensive biotech hybrids are creating a growing interest in non-GMO hybrids. Conventional seed costs about $100 less per bag (80,000
kernels). After 10 years of developing and launching new conventional corn lines, Baumgartner said this trend is also consumer-driven. “Whether we believe GMO traits in the food chain
are harmful or not is almost immaterial from our point of view. Today it’s about consumer choice and if nonGMO foodstuffs are where they are heading, we want to be able to provide just that,” he said. Field testing Baumgartner operates a 900-acre research station in Puerto Rico which permits up to three cycles of testing observations per year. He employs upwards of 300 local people who are trained to work with temperate crops. “We are now approaching 30 crop cycles and are into our third generation of breeding work on selected material,” said Baumgartner. His firm also conducts grow-outs of hybrid potentials on a 40-acre research plot at his mother’s Olivia area farm and runs summer testing in North Dakota and South Dakota. “We collect different strains of corn from all over the globe. Some corns native to the tropics have See NON-GMO, pg. 21A

Baumgartner makes occasional travels to Europe and notes that European nations are more tuned in to the “healthy food” status of non-GMO grains. “I don’t see any reversal of their acceptance of GMO seeds any time soon.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Seven hundred and ninety-five Minnesota farmers and forest landowners have successfully reenrolled in the Conservation Stewardship Program for another five-year period. The program provides opportunities for farmers who are already established conservation stewards, helping them improve water quality, soil health and wildlife habitat. “The strong interest in farmers reenrolling in the program for another five years comes as no surprise as these were the first participants to enroll in the program back in 2010,” Minnesota National Resources Conservation Service Acting State Conservationist Walter Albarran said. For many farmers, CSP offers reward and recognition for the conservation they are already doing, plus a little extra incentive to try a few more or new practices. The average annual payment for reenrollment in the program was $13,107 per contract. Over $10.4 million in payments will be made to those farm families later this year, and over $520 million over the course of their five-year contracts. Apply now for 2015 Farmers interested in getting started with CSP may apply now for contracts beginning in 2015. Applications will be
accepted at the NRCS office in USDA Service Centers throughout Minnesota. CSP was reauthorized in the 2014 farm bill, and is a voluntary program that offers payments to producers who exercise good land stewardship and agree to further improve their conservation performance. CSP is available to all producers regardless of operation size, type, crops produced, or geographic location. Total crop and pasture land acres enrolled in Minnesota to date is 2,687,710 plus 11,237 acres of woodland (non-industrial private forestland) in 3947 active contracts. Average payment rates for contracts obligated during the last enrollment period were $21.20 per acre for cropland, $13.80 per acre for pasture, and $5.13 per acre for woodland. Payments are made annually for each of the five years of the contract. CSP is open to small and large operations, with farms already enrolled ranging from just a couple of acres to over 7,400 acres of cropland.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”
By MARIE WOOD The Land Associate Editor What will happen to your farm when you die and how your family will handle the farm in the event of incapacity or death is not a pleasant thought, but it’s a reality that needs to be faced — before either event happens. Attorney Scott Miller compares farm succession plans to puzzles and Miller, an expert in tax law and estate planning, is confident that his firm is very good at putting all the pieces together. “The biggest problem without planning is, in all likelihood, there’s going to be excess tax owed by the family and a lot of conflict, because Scott Miller you will run into what’s in it for me? Nobody knows what the rules are,” said Miller. Miller, managing and founding attorney of Miller Legal Strategic Planning Centers, with offices in Tyler, Dawson and Rochester, Minn., has dedicated his firm to estate planning and 95 percent of those estates include farm succession plans. “The legacy that all clients have when they’re gone is their family. Nobody rememLet’s figure out bers how much taxes all the human you saved; all they elements first remember is the famto make sure ily,” said Miller. “Let’s figure out all the this works. human elements first And then we to make sure this will add in the works. And then we taxes. If the will add in the taxes. If kids hate each the kids hate each other, then it other, then it isn’t a good plan.” isn’t a good plan. The average age for estate planning is 50 to — Scott Miller mid-70s. The kids are often pushing their parents to get their affairs in order, said Miller. “They need to start planning when they are emotionally ready to do it,” said Miller. At Miller Legal, all clients begin by completing a personal information form prior to the first meeting. The form is a very detailed balance sheet. Miller tells his clients to think about their goals for their farm and family. “We want them to think about in a perfect world, if they die today, what would they want to happen,” said Miller. For many clients, the balance sheet is their FINPACK, a credit analysis software tool used by farmers and bankers. Many clients print their most recent FINPACK balance sheet for the meeting. Once clients identify their goals and provide a balance sheet, the work is on Miller’s desk now. “It’s the expert that should solve the problem,” said

Succession plans get assets to rightful heirs PLANNING, from pg. 23A “To create a good succession plan to meet all goals, it has to be customized,” said Miller. “Not every plan is the same — they have similar issues, but they are so varied from one operation to another,” said Miller. “They both may have trusts, but those trusts are designed very differently.” Revocable living trusts are used 100 percent of the time and serve as the foundational estate planning document, said Miller. Revocable trusts ensure the estate will be kept out of probate. In the event of incapacity, Miller looks at how the farm can continue. He addresses land rental rates, equipment, agriculture buildings, upkeep, maintenance, seed inventory, debt and many more details. In the event of death, the succession plan outlines how the farm and assets will be transferred. For

Your plan is not a one-anddone. It’s getting it completed and then maintaining it. It’s just like a combine — you just don’t go out and buy it; you have to maintain it, too.
— Scott Miller instance, is the equipment given or sold to the farming son or daughter? “There are usually concessions given to that kid who stayed home to farm. Other than the last five years, farming has been hard to sell at full value,” said Miller. “So much of the income is in the form of equity.” Miller advises that the farming son or daughter receives the main building site and that co-ownership is not part of the equation. “That farming kid needs to control that particular parcel. Should he or she want to expand, the nonfarming kids will wonder what’s in it for me,” said Miller. Attorneys also protect the farm’s assets from unintended beneficiaries. Miller offered this example: a daughter is divorced from her husband. If the daughter dies, the farm’s assets would go to her husband and not her children. The plan needs to state that the assets will go to the grandchildren. “We spend a lot of time in our planning to make sure assets get to the people you want them to get to,” said Miller. Miller also looks closely at debt. The plan will define how the debt will be paid and in the event a parent enters a nursing home, the plan will define how that bill will be paid as well. One of the biggest issues in farm succession plans is land. That’s where option agreements come in to play. These agreements can have a variety of terms to make the plan economically realistic for the non-
farming and the farming children, said Miller. For instance, the son or daughter who doesn’t farm may have the first right of refusal to the land by selling it to the sibling who farms. The price can be set at a percentage of the appraised value, but instead of a cash sale, a contract for deed may be required, explained Miller. Parents can even require that a non-farming sibling rent the land to the farming sibling. Then Miller will draft a rental agreement that will stand the test of time by building in inflation and deflation. Telling the kids Kids should not be involved in the planning process until the parents want them to be involved. “We recommend that parents do the planning without the kids and tell them this is what we did and why we did it,” said Miller. However, some farm succession plans are designed as an ongoing transition to their child or children as the parents retire from the daily farm business. “The hardest part is that as moms and dads, we are wired to please our kids. If the kids only care about themselves, you can’t please all of them,” said Miller. Oftentimes, Miller will lead the meeting when his clients inform their children of the plan. As an independent, unbiased party, Miller can best explain the terms of the plan. Maintaining your plan “Your plan is not a one and done. It’s getting it completed and then maintaining it. It’s just like a combine — you just don’t go out and buy it; you have to maintain it, too,” said Miller. Miller recommends at the very minimum to update your plan every three years. Laws change, as do circumstances. Some clients see Miller every year. “The plan you have at 44 may not be the same as the plan you’ll have at 54. That’s where maintenance helps to keep it on target because the target is moving, your assets are changing,” said Miller. Visit www.millerlegal.com to learn more about estate planning. ❖

THIESSE, from pg. 26A 2015 crop year. If future crop prices remain at current levels or lower, the ARC-CO benchmark prices for corn and soybeans are likely to decline significantly in 2016, 2017 and 2018. ARC-IC — The ARC-IC program must include all eligible farm program crops on a FSA farm unit(s), with no option for either the PLC or ARC-CO programs on specific crops. The ARC-IC program operates very similar to the ARC-CO program, but is based on farm-level crop yields, rather than county average yields. The ARC-IC program combines the five-year weighted revenue (actual farm yields x MYA) for the previous five years for all crops on FSA farm units in a given state that are enrolled in ARCIC, in order to calculate benchmark revenue for ARCIC, rather than the crop-specific approach used in the ARC-CO program. The weighting for the ARC-IC program is on the basis of the percentage of planted crop acres on the FSA farm units in the production year. Potential ARC-IC payments are made on crop base acres, and the maximum payment is 10 percent of the weighted benchmark revenue for the farm, rather than the crop specific method in the ARC-CO program. Potential payments in the ARC-IC program are made on only 65 percent of crop base acres, as compared to 85 percent of base acres with the ARCCO program. Individual crops must be planted each year in order for that crop to be considered for ARCIC calculations for a given year, which different from the PLC or ARC-CO program options. Expected 2014 farm payments All potential farm program payments for the 2014 crop year for the PLC, ARC-CO, and ARC-IC programs will be based on the 12-month 2014 MYA price from Sept. 1, 2014, through Aug. 31, 2015. The potential ARC-CO and ARC-IC program payments will also be impacted, respectively, by the final level of 2014 county and farm-level yields. Following is an analysis of potential farm program payments for the 2014 crop year: PLC — Based on the most recent U.S. Department of Agriculture Supply and Demand Report, USDA is estimating the 2014 MYA price at $3.65 per bushel for corn, and $10.20 per bushel for soybeans. Based on these price levels, there would be a $.05 per bushel payment for corn, and no payment for soybeans for the 2014 crop year. Based on the current market trends, it would appear that we may get a very small 2014 PLC payment for corn, if any, and no PLC payment for soybeans. ARC-CO — Based on the $3.65 per bushel price 2014 MYA price estimate for corn, most producers in the ARC-CO program will receive the maximum ARC-CO payment level for 2014 (approx. $50-$80 per corn base acre in most Minnesota counties). If the 2014 MYA price ends at $4 per bushel or lower, producers will likely receive the maximum ARC-CO

THIESSE, from pg. 27A payment amount, with 2014 county average yield levels that are at or below the county benchmark yield. If the final MYA price level is between $4$4.50 per bushel, ARC-CO payments would still occur, but at a gradually reduced basis. There would be very limited corn ARC-CO payments likely at MYA prices beyond $4.50 per bushel. If 2014 county yields are above the benchmark average yield, the price thresholds for ARC-CO payments would be reduced slightly. Based on the $10.20 per bushel price 2014 MYA price estimate for soybeans, most producers in the ARC-CO program will receive a partial ARC-CO payment level for 2014 (about $8-$5 per soybean base acre in most Minnesota counties). If the 2014 MYA price ends at $9.30 per bushel or lower, producers will likely receive the maximum ARC-CO payment amount, with 2014 county average yield levels that are at or below the county benchmark yield. There would be very limited corn ARC-CO payments likely at MYA prices beyond $10.50 per bushel. ARC-IC — These payment calculations are harder to estimate because they involve farm average yields, and are based on annual planted acres; however, ARC-IC payments do utilize the same MYA prices as the other programs. A good estimate for ARC-IC payments is to take the ARC-CO payment estimates at the same yield level and to reduce them by 25 percent, and then to prorate the ARC-IC payments based on the percentage of planted acres in a given year. The 25 percent reduction is due to the ARC-IC payments only being made on 65 percent of crop base acres, rather than on 85 percent.

Dairy groups support end of trade restrictions to Cuba million pounds, up 11.5 percent from October and up 48.9 percent from a year ago. Milk also flowed to the cheese vat. Italian production hit 410 million pounds, down 3.7 percent from October but was up 5.1 percent from a year ago.

nificant upside risk on butter prices” That said Global Dairy Trade results this week has butter priced in the low $1.60s per pound so there may be support from dairy buyers that want to own product and build inventory at below average levels. It does not mean there has been a change in the bearish trend, according to Meyer. Cheese production remained solid and inventories were strong in November signaling that current spot prices are fair. But there is nothing in this report’s data that would suggest a sharp move higher or lower from today’s levels. However, after the losses posted in December and during the first few days of 2015, it would not surprise us to see last minute Super Bowl orders or end-users building inventory to cause a slight bounce in CME spot prices, Meyer said. ■ Cash cheese prices at the frozen CME inched higher the first full week

and reform financing rules for U.S. food products destined for Cuba. “NMPF believes that unilateral U.S. government actions should not hinder U.S. dairy exporters from selling their products to any nation,” said Mulhern. “We look forward to expanding our ability to more easily provide the Cuban people and those Americans wishing to travel to Cuba with the nutritious and safe foods that we produce in such abundance here in the U.S.” USDEC’s Tom Suber said, “The U.S. has been forced to largely cede this neighboring market to our competitors. Cuba has been importing approximately $200 million worth of dairy products in recent years, but virtually none of that has come from our exporters due to the restrictions they face in trading with Cuba.” ■ You’ll recall that November 2014 milk production totaled 15.5 billion pounds, according to preliminary data, up 3.5 percent from a year ago. U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Dairy Products report issued Jan. 6 shows where it went and one place the extra milk didn’t go was the churn.

MIELKE, from pg. 28A Total exports were valued at $500.5 million in November, down 14 percent from last year and about the same as October (daily-average). That brought year-to-date U.S. sales to $6.63 billion, up 9 percent versus 2013. ■ The National Milk Producers Federation, U.S. Dairy Export Council and International Dairy Foods Association joined other food and agricultural organizations in support of additional changes in U.S. policy to facilitate U.S. dairy exports to Cuba and permit open travel for all Americans to that nation. The dairy organizations are members of the U.S. Agriculture Coalition for Cuba, a coalition of more than 30 trade associations and companies championing an end to the U.S. embargo against Cuba. The dairy groups say one of the biggest impediments to trade is the lack of financing to allow for payment in a manner that it is commercially viable. They stressed the importance of policy changes that would remove costly and unnecessary burdens on U.S. agricultural exporters by allowing payment to pass from Cuba directly to U.S. banks in place of the current requirement that payments be routed through banks in other countries. NMPF’s Jim Mulhern urged members of Congress to seek changes in policy that would remove travel restrictions

Mielke: Is there a silver lining, or is it just aluminum foil? MIELKE, from pg. 29A of 2015. The block Cheddar closed Friday at $1.59 per pound, up 2 cents on the week but 61 cents below a year ago when they jumped 15.75 cents. The Cheddar barrels finished at $1.5450, up a half-cent on the week and 61.50 cents below a year ago when they jumped 24 cents. They are now 4.50 cents below the blocks, a spread that typically runs 3-5 cents. The lagging National Dairy Products Sales Report U.S. average block price hit $1.6111, down 2.3 cents, while the barrels averaged $1.5672, down 2.2 cents. Dairy Market News says “With the holiday season over, Midwest cheesemakers are cautiously looking forward, wary of getting too far over the tips of their skis, but aware of the volume of milk flowing behind them which must be reckoned with.”
The current situation is unusual for early January. Milk volume available to cheese remains unusually high. Cheese production is ahead of orders for many plants, due to higher than typical milk production for January. This week some milk spot loads in the Midwest moved at $6-$6.50 below class, keeping cheese production very high in many plants. Sales are mixed. Cash butter closed Friday at $1.54 per pound, down 1.50 cents on the week, 13.50 cents below a year ago when the butter gained 10.50 cents, and is at the lowest level it has seen since Dec. 31, 2013.

minum foil,” Gould replied and he began by detailing butter. Looking at the three month numbers from November backward, Gould reported butter demand was down 15.5 percent from a year ago, after trailing 16.7 percent in October. He said demand has fallen away as retailers passed on the higher prices and butter exports were not much of a factor. Looking at nonfat dry milk, Gould stated that commercial disappearance was up seven percent in November and the fourth month in a row it was above five percent however, that’s not keeping up with the growth in nonfat production and American cheese has seen a similar situation. It was up just 0.3 percent in November far from the 3.5 percent growth in American cheese output. When asked about imports affecting this scenario, Gould answered, “That’s why there isn’t a silver lining.” Lee Mielke is a syndicated columnist who resides in Everson, Wash.

“D
utch treat” is a phrase often used to politely suggest that everybody pays their own bill when they eat out. In northwest Iowa, home to many descendants of settlers from the Netherlands, the phrase has a much sweeter connotation. One good example of that is a visit to Casey’s Bakery in Sioux Center. Now located in the Centre Mall, the bakery originated in downtown Sioux Center in 1946. Casey and Ann De Groot opened the bakery specializing in some traditional Dutch recipes. To this they added a tried and true formula: Make everything from scratch + Use high quality ingredients = Satisfied customers that keep coming back. Four of their popular Dutch items are Almond Patties (a traditional Dutch puff pastry filled with almond paste), Spice Windmill Cookies (made with a cookie press), Rusk Buns (used for open face sandwiches), and Raisin Buns. There are other Dutch cookies and cakes
and anise candy, too. Glenda Mulder, head barista, said travelers often stop to take home foods that they remember from childhood. And as if Casey’s didn’t offer enough of their own Dutch baked treats, they also have imported Dutch foods and baking mixes, as well as Delft china. A third generation of the De Groot family is now involved in the management of a business that just keeps growing. Their Centre Mall location has a Kaffee Huis (coffee bar), deli and dining room in addition to the bakery and gift shop. The Baker’s Pantry offers kitchen
tools. Their store fronts in this indoor mall have a traditional Dutch look, so you can pick up a bakery treat, add a drink from the Kaffee Huis, sit at a table in front of the store, and imagine you are lunching on an Amsterdam street. While Casey’s is a good place to sample a Dutch baked treat, this is a full-line bakery with breads, cookies, decorated cakes, and other sweets. Mulder said their highest volume item is the good old American hamburger bun, and their delivery trucks supply other retailers in northwest Iowa and into South Dakota. If you are heading to or through Sioux Center, it’s worth a stop. The Centre Mall is along Highway 75. Visit www.caseysbakery.com to learn more about Casey’s. ❖

The following market analysis is for the week ending Jan. 9. CORN — Everyone was back in their offices this week as attention turned to the Jan. 12 U.S. Department of Agriculture reports, which will include the final crop report for 2014-15 and grain stocks as of Dec. 1. Money flow into the market was also a factor in early- and late-week strength. Funds bought an estimated 10,000 corn contracts to begin and close out the week to manage a slightly higher close for the week. Informa Economics’ updated estimate for 2014-15 planted PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. corn acreage was the same as the St. Paul last USDA number at 90.9 million acres, but they adjusted harvested acres to 83.5 million acres, up from USDA’s 83.1 million acres. For yield, Informa pegged it at 172.7 bushels per acre versus USDA’s 173.4 bu./acre. This put production at 14.425 billion bushels, 18 million bushels higher than USDA’s December figure. Their carryout forecast for 2014-15 is 2.041 billion bushels compared to the December USDA forecast of 1.998 billion bushels. The USDA has shown corn production increases on the January report in seven of the last 11 years. Informa’s projections for the 2015-16 crop year are 88.0 million planted acres, 165.9 bu./acre, production 13.393 billion bushels and carryout of 1.744 billion bushels. Weekly export inspections this week were 21.2 million bushels; down nearly three million bushels from
Well the livestock markets started off the new year with some its own fireworks, especially in the cattle market. It seems the volatility that has been present as of late will continue in the livestock markets. The struggle of supply versus demand is still an important factor in weeks ahead. The best word to describe the cattle market is “explosive.” The first week of January saw the cash market act extremely strong, with cattle trading as high as $172 — $4 higher than the previous week. At the same time the beef cutout made a very good advance, with the boxed beef movement improvJOE TEALE ing from a lackluster holiday trade. Broker While these advances were taking Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. place, the futures market advanced into previous resistance well below the current trade in the cash market. After struggling for several days at this resistance level, the futures began to see some liquidation that drove the futures sharply lower. By Friday the market had come under severe pressure finishing with limit losses in the nearby months. This put the futures contracts extremely discount to the latest cash prices at that point. Several factors were noticed to create such a sell off. It appeared that funds were liquidating their recent long positions, and margin call selling ensued as traders just wanted to vacate their long positions. The other factor ever-present is the fact that the futures market is always anticipating the next move instead of the current market. It would appear that some in the trade are afraid that demand has at least equalized with the tight See TEALE, pg. 2B
Just over three months ago commodity prices hit lows not seen in years. Some advisers were suggesting producers hold onto corn and soybeans because better prices were to come. Today corn futures are 60 to 70 cents a bushel higher than March futures were on Oct. 1, 2014. We are definitely experiencing “better” corn prices, but have we made any additional sales since October? Or do we simply keep moving our targets up or down as markets continually fluctuate?

Likewise if the market goes up after I sell, do I have additional bushels I can sell at an incremental profit? No matter how you look at it, it’s important to think of grain marketing as risk management. How can I reduce my risk throughout the marketing year and remain comfortable with my decisions? For example, if you do not have any of your 2015 crop marketed today, you are likely under the opinion that prices will go up. The next question is a challenging one: Are you willing to bet 100 percent of your 2015 production on that higher-priced assumption? If you decide that maybe you are only 70 percent sure prices will See LENSING, pg. 2B

Too wet? Too dry? Brazilian farmers still selling beans NYSTROM, from pg. 1B the previous week and below estimates for 26.6 to 31.5 million bushels. Approximately 34.7 million bushels need to be shipped each week to hit the USDA export forecast of 1.75 billion bushels. Shipments are running one percent behind last year and sales are 3 percent behind last year when the USDA is projecting exports to be down 9 percent year on year. On the export sales side, weekly export sales were 15.3 million bushels, a marketing year low. We need sales of 21.3 million bushels per week to hit the 1.75 billion bushel USDA export forecast. Total sales commitments are 61 percent of the USDA prediction. South Korea was a buyer of nearly 400,000 metric tons of U.S. and optional origin corn this week. There was trade chatter this week of Chinese interest in U.S. dried distillers grains, but this time exporters are reportedly requiring a 25-35 percent down payment to cover the risk of getting rejected at delivery. Weekly ethanol production fell 23,000 barrels per day to 949,000 barrels per day. Stocks at 18.5 million barrels are the highest since March 2013. With the price of gasoline and diesel at five-year lows, alternative fuel margins are taking a hit. China auctioned five million metric tons of government-owned reserves this week, but only 1.79 mmt were sold. Due to the poor participation, China may delay issuing corn import allocations as they revise their reserve program. Conab increased their Brazilian corn production estimate to 79.1 mmt compared to their December forecast of 78.7 mmt. The last USDA forecast was a 75.0 mmt Brazilian corn crop.
Average corn estimates for the Jan. 12 reports: stocks as of Dec. 1, 11.123 billion bushels versus 10.453 billion last year; 2014-15 ending stocks 1.927 billion bushels versus 1.998 billion on the December report; 2014-15 production 14.349 billion versus 14.407 billion on the November balance sheet; yield 173.3 bu./acre versus 173.4 bu./acre in November; harvested acres 82.765 million acres versus 83.097 million on the last estimate; world stocks 191.19 mmt versus 192.20 mmt on the December report; Brazilian production of 74.66 mmt versus 75.0 mmt last month; Argentine production 22.49 mmt versus 22.0 mmt in December. OUTLOOK: The January crop report has given us big moves in each of the last six years, ranging from 22 to 54 cents, three years with a move higher (two of the last three years) and three years with a move lower. March corn’s recent range is $3.92 to $4.17 per bushel. For the week, March corn rallied 4 1⁄2 cents to close at $4.00 1⁄4 per bushel and the December contract closed 2 cents higher at $4.21 1⁄2 per bushel. The report will provide direction for the next week. The daily trading limit for corn is 25 cents per bushel. SOYBEANS — Soybeans saw a huge early week gain inspired by a 233 tmt sale to China (plus another 123 tmt for old crop and 120 tmt for new crop announced on Tuesday), fund buying and talk of areas of either too wet or too dry in Brazil. Someone needs to tell the Brazilian farmer though; he was a big seller of soybeans this week that pushed their basis levels lower. The sharp early-week rally was a surprise with no one single outstanding fundamental reason behind the surge higher. Conab raised their Brazilian bean production late in the week to a record 95.9 mmt versus their previous
TEALE, from pg. 1B supply of cattle and may further suffer as competitive meat prices continue to drop. Regardless, it now would appear the cattle market may have made a major top back in the month of October. Therefore, producers should become more cognizant of market conditions and be prudent about protecting inventories. On the other hand, the hog market almost seems benign in comparison. Cash prices have continued their descent as the new year got under way and have not yet ceased. The outlook continues to show a fair amount of hogs; however the price decline has slowed which may indicate there is increasing inter-
est by packers in acquiring inventory since their margins are positive. The supply-demand scenario is just the opposite for the hogs to the cattle. The supply is more than adequate to meet the demand for pork. One major problem for the demand for pork is the export market in recent months. The strength in the U.S. dollar has slowed foreign buyers as the dollar has increased in value. However domestic demand has held fairly well and could increase in the months ahead since, from a value standpoint, pork is a good value in comparison to competitive meats. Producers should remain current and keep a watchful eye on market conditions and protect inventories as needed. ❖

Write down, execute your plan LENSING, from pg. 1B increase, it may be reasonable to consider how you will reduce or eliminate price risk on the other 30 percent of your production. Selling in increments will help mitigate risks. If you sell at current prices it may be wise to hope that it is the worst sale you make. Regardless of your opinion on the market direction, most marketing professionals would advocate for not only writing down a marketing plan, but also actually executing upon it. We have seen $1.20 rally
in soybean futures and 70-cent rally in corn futures in the past few months. Will you “reward” the market rally we’ve seen? If not now, at what price level will you make your next sale, and what percentage of confidence do you have in achieving that goal?

estimate of 95.8 mmt. The USDA is carrying them at 94 mmt. Conab is pegging their soybean exports at 49.6 mmt, while the USDA has them at 46.4 mmt. If Conab’s numbers are realized, U.S. exports would be expected to see a sharp decrease in the last half of the marketing year. The Brazilian farmer is estimated to have priced just 31 percent of their soybean crop versus 43 percent last year, but selling was said to have picked up this week. As for USDA’s Brazilian January to final production forecasts, in four of the last eight years it has risen, while the Argentine number has been cut in each of the last four years. Informa Economics updated their 2014-15 crop numbers, their new bean production estimate is 3.969 billion bushels, up 11 million bushels from the December USDA forecast. Informa’s yield was 47.6 bu./acre versus USDA’s 47.5 bu./acre. They made no changes to USDA’s acreage numbers. The Informa 2014-15 carryout forecast is 333 million bushels compared to the latest USDA 410 million bushel projections. Informa’s 2015-16 balance sheet is as follows: planted acreage of 88.8 million acres, yield of 45.0 bu./acre production at 3.959 billion bushels and ending stocks of 511 million bushels. Export inspections were decent at 51.7 million bushels compared to the 17.3 million bushels needed each week to achieve the USDA export forecast of 1.76 billion bushels of exports. Weekly export sales were a five-week high at 33.5 million bushels. Sales are running 6 percent ahead of last year. The USDA is predicting a 7 percent increase in exports year on year. Total export commitments are at 85 percent of the USDA forecast. We only need to average 5.6 million bushels per week in sales to achieve the USDA’s 1.76 billion bushels export projection. China’s bean imports are estimated at 5.4 mmt for January compared to 7.3 mmt in December, according to the Chinese Ministry of Commerce. Average soybean estimates for the Jan. 12 reports: stocks as of Dec. 1, 2.59 billion bushels versus 2.154 billion last year; 2014-15 ending stocks 393 million bushels versus 410 million on the December report; harvested acres 83.044 million acres versus 83.403 million in November; yield 47.6 bu./acre versus 47.5 bu./acre on the November balance sheet; production 3.956 billion bushels versus 3.958 billion in November; world stocks of 89.35 mmt versus 89.87 mmt last month; Brazilian production 94.6 mmt versus 94.0 mmt last month; Argentine production at 55.45 mmt compared to 55.0 mmt in December. On seven of the last nine January crop reports, U.S. soybean production has shown an increase. OUTLOOK: Unless the Jan. 12 report is bullish for soybeans, a revisit to the December low of $9.91 per bushel may be expected. Interesting note, speculators have begun 2015 with their biggest net short futures and options position for this time of year in over 10 years. For the week, March soybeans jumped 44 3⁄4 cents higher to settle at $10.52 1⁄4 per bushel. The new crop November contract closed at $10.19 1⁄2 per bushel, up 26 1⁄4 cents. March soybean meal climbed $8.70 per ton higher and bean oil rallied 1.59 points. The daily trading limit for soybeans is 70 cents per bushel. In the past six years on the day of January reports, March soybeans have closed higher twice and lower four times. ❖

Waterbeds offer comfort, longevity to dairy cows By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Waterbeds are coming back — not for people, for cows. Dairy farmers were talking about cow waterbeds at the Minnesota Dairy Expo in St. Cloud. Mark Misch, Midwest sales representative for Dual Chamber Waterbeds, explained what’s so spe- Mark Misch cial about waterbeds for cows. “Cows get a custom fit every time they lay down,” said Misch, who works out of DCC Waterbeds in Reedsburg, Wis. The water contained in each bed surrounds each animal so a cow’s hocks aren’t sawing back and forth which tends to happen when cows are laying on a flat surface. It’s on par with sand bedding without the continuous replenishing that’s needed with sand, said Misch. In 1999, Dean Throndsen, CEO of Advanced Comfort Technology brought waterbeds for cows from Europe to the North American dairy industry. The large single bladder filled with water had potential, but Throndsen saw flaws in the design. In 2003, he patented the dual chamber cow waterbed. Two chambers provides additional stability and comfort
Freudenthal
for the knees and hocks. And this added comfort apparently adds to a cow’s life. Misch showed data involving 100 fourth lactation cows on waterbeds with about six percent improved longevity. “So you’d have six less cows to replace versus sand or flat mats,” said Misch. DCC Waterbeds are sold with 10-year warranties but Misch said the company’s waterbeds are 20 years old in some Wisconsin barns. “We’ve got hundreds of thousands of waterbeds out in over 30 countries around the world. Holland is a huge market. So to is Taiwan, Indonesia, New Zealand ... wherever there are sizeable numbers of dairy cattle,” he said. A DCC Waterbed costs about $250 to $300 per cow depending upon the installation. For example, a tie stall barn might be slightly higher because there would be more posts to cut around and more total time doing the job. Upon order, shipment and installation can begin in about a week. DCC Waterbeds keeps an inventory of 5,000 waterbeds on hand at their Mondovi, Wis., warehouse so beds could be shipped within a week with install starting just as soon as a crew is available.

“We like to have one of our installers go out and get that farmer properly started. After that most farmers can handle this job. They would need the special fill meter from a local dealer. This device measures the right amount of water for each bladder,” he explained. Cow waterbeds are not relegated to large dairy herds. Misch knows of Amish farmers in the Marshfield, Wis., area putting in just three beds. They liked the results. “They started installing 10 at a time until they had their 70-cow barn totally equipped. I have a dealer in that area who now has installed over 700 beds and most of his customers are Amish farmers. “We’re in the process of waterbeds for a 4,500-cow operation in South Dakota. We’ve got an 800waterbed barn in western Minnesota; a 1,200-bed install near Green Bay. So it’s been a good year. Obviously stronger milk prices are spurring the adoption of waterbeds,” said Misch. Misch also recommends some sawdust or straw sprinkled over the waterbeds, but not sand; sand would be abrasive. “I suggest about a gallon of sawdust or straw or bean stubble on each waterbed,” said Misch.

SALFER, from pg. 3B “Perhaps the primary reason cow numbers stay down is because cull cow prices are so high,” said Salfer. “It they have any issues with particular cows, dairy farmers are moving them to market rather quickly these days. And that may help temper some of these price drops in milk. It’s easy to sell a cow when she’s worth $1,500.” Cheaper feed prices and more aggressive culling is also slightly boosting milk productivity per cow. Robotic systems are still only on a small percentage of dairies in Minnesota. There continues “I don’t have an to be a tremenexact figure.

This will be a business adjunct of the 20,000-cow River View Dairy southwest of Morris, Minn. “They are a very good dairy business,” said Salfer. “Their dairy facilities gleam with cleanliness; they’re great with neighbor relations; their stewardship is exemplary. I think they’ve been a role model of environmental cohesiveness. Their concerns about how to work with neighbors sets the stage for all of us. They listen to the concerns of neighbors’ and they address those concerns accordingly. They just do a great job.” Despite a few of these “biggies” on the Minnesota landscape, according to 2013 Minnesota Agricultural Statistics, the Gopher State still ranks sixth nationally in number of milk cows.

Dairy farmers move nine times, one more likely By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Duane and Louise Holker of Litchfield, Minn., are a bit unusual in the agricultural world. They’ve moved nine times since their start as dairy farmers. When a dairy farmer moves it’s not just tractors and field implements but also cows, calves and milking equipment. “My dad sold his cows when I was in the 8th grade,” said Duane. But there were still four heifers on Duane’s family farm in Beardsley, Minn., on the South Dakota border. “My dad said to me ‘If you want to be a dairy farmer, you can start with those four heifers.’ So I started milking four cows when I was a freshman in high school. By the time I graduated in 1980 my herd was up to 18 cows.” Vocational agriculture wasn’t available, but there was a nice looking farm gal two miles north. “I decided to start dating her. We became high school sweethearts and have been together ever since,” said Duane. Louise hadn’t exactly been dreaming of marrying a dairy farmer. “No, I didn’t. I wanted to marry a farmer. It was okay if he had cows but at that time I was scared of dairy cows. I soon got over that,” said Louise. Duane and Louise married in 1981. Their second move was to a nearby farm Duane’s dad had purchased from his mother. “And again Dad said to me, ‘If you want to get a start on your own, you can move to that farm, fix that barn up and expand some more,’” said Duane. He and his dad did some fixing. They set up that old barn to handle 40 cows. That was one year after graduating from high school. “So we were milking 40 cows on what was originally my father’s home farm. We were there from 1980 to 1995 and expanded that farm up to 75 cows,” said Duane. During that 15-year span, dairying wasn’t exactly profitable; $10 milk was fairly common but $12 milk did happen occasionally. Making a buck wasn’t easy. “Things were pretty tough. Still lots of work needed to be done to that farm. We put more concrete down. We had to build a feed storage facility. We were

— Duane Holker sort of struggling along,” said Duane. Expansion A life-changing bit of advice from the Holkers’ local Land O’ Lakes advisor changed all that. He told Duane that if he wanted to get anywhere in this dairy industry he had to invest in a larger dairy business. That’s when he met Greg Jans, dairy farmer at Grove City, Minn. “Louise and I made an agreement with Greg and Nickie Jans to put our dairy cows into his brand new facility. We moved our cows there in September 1995. That was about a 100 mile move for our herd and family,” said Duane. Business in the third location worked out “fairly well,” said Duane. “It was a drive-through six-row free stall barn with 200 free stalls and a double-6 milking parlor which was expandable to a double-12. We had a great deal of success. But we were filling up with heifers so fast that we were running out of space,” he said. Cow numbers were up to 270. They were on a 3X milking schedule. They were doing 26,000-plus pounds of milk per cow. It became obvious that the facility would have to be expanded. But Duane and Louise were having second thoughts. Instead they decided to venture out on their own again in move number four. In June 1998, they found a farm to rent near Paynesville, Minn.; signed a threeyear lease; the barn built in 1970 had a double-six parlor with pit underneath. “It was decent, but we had some ups and downs with the facility. The stalls were a little small and a few issues like that were sort of nagging at our herd. We weren’t able to get the production we had wanted to attain,” Duane said. A dairy farm came up for sale at Kingston, Minn., south of Kimball. Their farm business management See MOVE, pg. 7B

they came over to this new location and continued with their big help. It was a God-send that these younger folks and other neighbors were there to help when we desperately needed help,” said Louise. There were challenges, but one of heaven’s angels decided to wrap its wings around the Holkers. A neighbor, Vernon Matheis who is a contractor said to Duane, “Let’s get you into a parlor.” Matheis and Holker went to work and again in two weeks there was a new parlor. “We put a double-7 parbone inside a building that measured 22 feet wide and 32 feet long. We built in a milk room; even found space for a utility room. And we did an outside holding pen. The building was a Lester’s Calf Nursery originally,” said Duane. That was move number seven. “We brought our cows home. Got them used to our new little parlor. We were at about 200 cows then. We’d sold off some cows because there wasn’t enough room anymore after the fire. We did that from 2009 until September 2011. At that point, finances caught up with us.

This farm had a new barn with a stepup parlor from the old tie-stall barn. “So we decided it was time to try a step-up parlor. We brought our 100 cows, then bought another 60 cows,” said Duane. Move number five occurred October 13, 2000. Unfortunately, the step-up parlor didn’t work out. “We didn’t like it. It just wasn’t a convenient operation to work in so we decided to build our own milking parlor,” said Duane. Duane is a handy guy and his cousin and two friends went to work with him. In about two weeks, this crew built a double-7 herringbone parlor suspended totally from the ceiling of the old barn. “We enjoyed our new parlor very much. Had our office in the barn, restroom in the barn, we had really nice facilities. We were happy. We’d built our herd up to 240 cows and built another free-stall barn,” said Duane. Barn fire Disaster struck April 23, 2009, at 8:30 p.m. A devastating fire ignited in their adjacent farm shop. Strong winds quickly moved it to the barn and into the stored hay. Even a 17-by-50 foot blue silo with fiberglass roof, a Seal Store silo, filled with high-moisture corn, was on fire. Five fire departments responded. “It was a horrible mess. We still had all the cows but no milking parlor. We had to find a home for 200 cows in four hours time. Jason Maas, a dairy farmer friend near Litchfield had just quit milking. He had a swing 10-cow parlor now sitting empty. He always milked around 120 cows. We took 170 of our cows to his farm, the remainder to other friends. Now we had cows in three locations and suddenly we got to milk in another parlor,” said Duane with a chuckle. This was move number six. “God’s been good to us,” Louise said quietly. Their two children, Albert and Morgan Holker, now 28 and 26 respectively, were a huge help in this sudden transformation to yet another location for their parents’ dairy business. “We had some neighbor kids that were milking with us. They really were remarkable. When we moved our cows

— Duane Holker Odie and his crew for two years … he had approximately 160-170 cow dairy and let us build up some of our own cow numbers again. “But soon the same situation like we experienced at the Greg Jans place … too many cows and not enough space,” said Duane.

Louise have 26 cows currently. They have seven milking units. Lots of bending and squatting and standing so lots of exercise for Duane, now 52, and Louise, 51. These milking nomads named the farm Shuffle Dairy. “We’re going to try to make this work out for us and Paul Schilling. I don’t have any plans to move on, at least not at this point,” said Duane. His wife however noted, “Yes, there will be one more move. We’re currently living in an apartment in Litchfield. We’d like to be into a house of our own.” And that would be move number 10. “I’ve always had a passion for dairy farming. We love our Lord. We follow him and he tells us where to go,” said Duane. Duane and Louise Holker were interviewed at the Minnesota Dairy Expo, St. Cloud, Minn, in December. ❖

Paul Schilling was looking for someone to rent his dairy barn. “We always longed to move back to Meeker County because we love the area so much. Also our feed guy Brian Carlson wanted us to come back here,” said Duane. That dreaded stray voltage challenge flared up on the Schilling farm. Even after trying several corrective measures, he finally decided to call it quits. But those electrical issues were later corrected when the local utility put in a new power line to the farm. Duane said that he, Schilling and Carlson together prayed about this next decision, which would be move number nine. Now the Holkers were losing some amenities. This barn didn’t have a parlor. They were back to tie-stalls and pipeline milking. “Back to how we started,” smiled Louise. Schilling owns 40 cows; Duane and

MOVE, from pg. 7B were buying all our feed so the cards were stacked,” said Duane. So a total “sell out” in September 2011. Again one of those Holker angels intervened. “Our veterinarian was running a dairy and she asked if we would be interested in managing her dairy. So we moved over there and managed her 90-cow dairy. It was like a breathing spell for Louise and me after all our various stresses the previous months. We were still in Meeker County so still felt at home.” That was Move number eight. “We worked there for one year than a friend at Danube, Minn., asked if we wanted to come down and join his gang for a stint until we could get going on our own once again. We had known Odie (Jansen) for several years. He knew about our situation. It sounded like an opportunity. We worked with
