Moines March 7 but, as you may have heard, we weren’t invited.) In several press interviews leading up to the summit (not one, we must report, with us) Rastetter repeatedly played up his total average-ness as he downplayed any talk of him as a cornfield “kingmaker” in state and national politics. “Bruce Rastetter is not amused by the ‘kingmaker’ label often thrown about by the press,” noted the Des Moines Register in a lengthy profile of him March 1. The very next sentence, however, offers two facts of plain old just Bruce’s un-average-ness: he is the “president of the Iowa Board of Regents” which oversees the state’s public university system, and has made “more than $1.1 million in state political contributions since 2003…” Moreover, Politico, the Virginia-based political journal, says that hog-chokin’ wad is really just “a fraction of his total giving to groups that don’t have to disclose their donors.” Whatever the complete, never-to-be-reported amount might be, Just Bruce told the Register that every penny of his campaign money goes to just “trying to make a difference. I don’t give to get access.” (Cough. Cough. Uh oh, sounds like a cold. Good thing we have nowhere to go this weekend because we were not invited to go… anywhere.) Some who received Rastetter’s money have a different idea of what the word “access” means. “Bruce does a good job of staying in touch,” Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad related to the Register. In fact, said the Gov., he and Just Bruce stay in touch “at least once a week.” But, Branstad added, “It has nothing to do with whether he supported me.” So… Branstad takes weekly telephone calls from people who neither support his policies nor contribute to his political campaigns? We don’t know, but we do know Iowa’s governor does take calls from Rastetter because, according to the Register, “‘I suggested,’ Rastetter told this reporter later that day, ‘that the governor speak with you.’ Rastetter’s staff soon called to confirm the appointment with the governor.” And, just as Just Bruce said, Branstad telephoned the reporter. Little wonder then that when Not The Kingmaker, Just Bruce asked potential White House hopefuls to report to the Iowa State Fairgrounds on a Saturday morning in early March, nearly a dozen Republicans wannabe presidents answered “one of the biggest GOP cattle calls” ever so Rastetter could “chat with each candidate on-stage for 20 minutes before 1,000 Iowans and dozens of media outlets” on agriculture policy. Wait a second, “dozens of media outlets?” Alas, good luck Jim Gilmore — whomever you are. The Farm and Food File is published weekly through the United States and Canada.

knew what the learning lesson would be for us kids the next day. We didn’t have kindergarten. Nor was there such a thing as elementary school. We just started in the first grade and wrapped up country school as eighth graders. Then it was off to “Town School” as we called high school with the school bus doing the delivery each morning and afternoon. Grant, I think that you are learning lots more in your third grade than we did as third graders because your world today is so much bigger. You have great teachers. My only advice: keep learning. It makes your life even better. And in the process our whole world gets better. So Dear Grandson, I’m counting on you and your classmates for a better world tomorrow!

If it took three or four students school roof and someone on the other to finally come up with the answer, we side would catch it. Then the person catching the ball would dash around the school house to the other side and throw the ball at one of those kids. Game over when every kid has been tagged by that ball. We didn’t have the push-button gadgets like you have today. We made our own fun in the school yard. Yes, we did have a swing, a two-seater as I recall. And when we played ball games, even us second graders got to play because we were needed. The usual ball game was three hitters with the rest of us in the field. When those three hitters made three outs, then it was the next three hitters. Grant, you ride a bus to school. There weren’t school buses for us country school kids. And we had only gravel roads, which were muddy when it rained; dusty when it didn’t rain. Either you walked to school (for me it was about one-and-a quarter miles), or perhaps your dad would deliver you when he was hauling cream to the local creamery, or if you were lucky you might have a bicycle.

HAGEN, from pg. 2A Our furnace had to be refired a few times during the day. When you got to be in the seventh or eighth grade, our teacher would appoint us kids to do the job. “Okay, Richard, today you keep the fire burning.” So I would walk down the basement steps and use a small shovel or pail to dump a few pieces of coal into the furnace. It seemed I always got some coal smudges on my hands. I’d come back upstairs and wash my hands. Our school had a pump and sink but I remember the water was always cold. In those days we didn’t have bathrooms in school with hot and cold water. Our toilet was an outdoor toilet and you had to ask teacher for permission to go to the toilet. But in the winter time, your trips to the toilet were few and quick. And in the winter, when we came in from recess and our mittens were wet, we’d lay them on the big furnace duct in the floor of our classroom. Next recess we’d have dry mittens until we came back into school. What were our winter games? Fox and Geese was a big one. We’d make a big wheel-shaped outline in the snow on the school yard. The job of the fox was to catch the geese one at a time. Lots of running and screeching and sliding but great fun. For lunch it was whatever Mom put into our metal lunch bucket. That usually was peanut butter sandwiches. Or Spam sandwiches. Or boiled egg sandwiches. Or sometimes a baloney sandwich. That’s a meat from pigs. Because we did our own butchering there was lots of different kinds of pork. And Mom liked us to eat an apple or orange. Sometimes there would be some chocolate chip cookies, too. Plus our thermos bottle would have water. Sometimes hot soup. But never soda pop. So how did we learn? Same way you kids learn. We listened to our teacher, did our assignments, took some homework home if we had to. But we also learned by listening to what the teacher was teaching to another grade. Remember we were 14 kids. Our teacher would teach each grade one at a time. So we second graders could also listen to what she was teaching the other grades. Sometimes there would be only one student in a grade, sometimes there might be three or four.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

I thought back to all those other Caring Bridge sites I’ve kept up on over the years. My friend Shandy documented the first tenuous year in her beautiful daughter Maria’s life on Caring Bridge. A million Facebook photos later, we’re all happily aware just how alive she is. My friend Mary used social media to update friends and family about her daughter, Rachel, whose health struggles were documented in a two-part series in The Free Press. Greater Mankato Growth’s Jonathan Zierdt’s battle with cancer has been well publicized. Mankato’s Eric Peters — a man I only met once but will probably never forget — lost his battle with cancer recently, and his family let people know using Caring Bridge. In none of these cases would I have been on their list of people to call. But I was among the thousands who knew. What business is it of mine to know how the latest battle has gone for Rachel Iverson? Why do I need to see another picture of a healthy little girl? And why should I care how some guy’s chemo session went? A better question might be: Why not? A cynic might look at this and say, “Sheesh, I’m so tired of seeing everyone’s darn Caring Bridge updates!” or, “Do people have to share every last part of their lives?” But I think there might be a better way to look at this. Everyone’s journey is different. A wise man (actually, probably a wise woman) once said, “Be kind. Everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about.” These days, we know a little more about those battles. And we’re better because of it.

Sanford Westbrook Health Center is the smallest critical access hospital in Minnesota.

ent hospital under the direction of local residents. Benefits far outweighed the drawbacks because specialists started coming to Westbrook on a regular basis. Patients no longed needed to make a 200-mile round trip for a doctor visit. Another name change occurred in 2007 when philanthropist T. Denny Sanford donated $400 million to the Sioux Valley hospital system. Today, Sanford Westbrook Health Center hospital serves primarily by stabilizing patients before they are transferred to Sioux Falls, Rochester, Minn., or other major medical centers. “Community support is phenomenally strong in Westbrook. They understand health issues,” said Lori Hebig, Sanford marketing and community relations manager for Westbrook and Tracy hospitals. “The staff is phenomenal, the administration is great, and Dr. Andy (Kopperud) is home grown.” Kopperud grew up on a farm near Westbrook, just as Dr. Henry Schmidt did. ❖

THE LAND, MARCH 13, 2015

By CAROLYN VAN LOH The Land Correspondent WESTBROOK, Minn. — Shrinking population in rural areas has a ripple effect on all facets of everyday life, including health care. With eight patient beds, Westbrook has the distinction of having Minnesota’s smallest functioning hospital. The facility began as a dream of Daniel Schmidt, a Westbrook farmer, and his son Dr. Henry Schmidt, who returned to the area to practice medicine nearly 100 years ago. The elder Schmidt didn’t give up on his dream when Henry died during the influenza epidemic of 1918. Papers of incorporation were signed, and the Dr. Henry Schmidt Memorial Hospital was born in 1947. A large donation from Schmidt supplemented with funds from the community made the dream come true. In less than a year, more than 450 area women joined more than 20 hospital auxiliary units. Area nurses, 19 strong, formed the Clara Barton Club as another means of supporting the

Advocate’s bill aims to reform nursing home rates By MARIE WOOD The Land Associate Editor Beginning Oct. 1, 2014, Alexandria, Minn., nursing home Knute Nelson reduced the number of its beds from 108 to 85 because it was short staffed. The facility had a waiting list. Later that same month, Good Samaritan Society- Kari Thurlow Glenwood Lakeview nursing home in Glenwood, Minn., closed. One reason was lack of staff available. These examples and others were presented to the State of Minnesota’s Legislative Health Care Workforce Commission by Kari Thurlow, senior vice president of advocacy at Leading Age Minnesota, an association of organizations serving Minnesota seniors. “Throughout the state, the rates set by lawmakers are on average $35 per resident per day less than the cost of care. They are mandated to lose money no matter where they are in the state,” said Thurlow, whose organization has brought forward a longterm care reform bill. The bill is designed to reconnect rates with the cost of providing care, and to ensure that nursing homes are not set up to lose money. The bill is being carried by Senator Tony Lourey, DFL-District 11,

Equipment grants buy cardiac units for ambulances ‘Proud of my husband’ — Comments from an EMT spouse The Land Correspondent Carolyn Van Loh writes from experience as the spouse of David Van Loh, a long-serving rural Emergency Medical Technician. The following are some personal thoughts from being married to an emergency responder. ■ David began his service as an EMT over 25 years ago when our two sons were still in high school. Still a volunteer, he reflects on his years in service. “When I retired from a full-time job, I was able to devote more time as a volunteer for our ambulance service. While a person must carry and respond to a pager 24/7, only about half of the protocol to enhance the ability to give more detailed vital signs,” said Tim Hacker, director of the Windom EMS. “Then we send a snapshot of the heart via wireless transmission to our local hospital.”

home carrying the burden of a patient’s condition. There were also those times at community events when a family member of a former patient expressed thanks for the good service. I am proud of my husband’s part in the health of our community. The goal of emergency volunteers is saving lives, and lives cannot be saved unless EMTs are called into service. This system will work only if the patient calls 9-1-1 as soon as any symptoms or warning signs are experienced. Please think about volunteering for your community. Everyone will need some type of medical assistance some day. It could be you or a family member. Please consider helping out your community. — Carolyn Van Loh that the federal government supports specifically to care for the Medicare population reports the Office of Rural Health and Primary Care.

calls demand a quick response. Transfers to another hospital take more time, and folks who are employed are usually required to get back to work quickly,” said David. “That’s when a retired person can help by taking the time for those emergencies. If the retired EMT (or other volunteer) wants to take personal time off, the rest of the squad will reorganize schedules to fill in while the squad member is away.” Over the years, plans had to be changed, postponed or canceled because of an ambulance run. At the time, frustration over the inconvenience surfaced, but looking back, I would have made no changes. Yes, there were times when my spouse came

Legislators tackling health care worker shortage By MARIE WOOD The Land Associate Editor Rural health care is facing an aging population combined with physician and health care worker shortages. Ironically, that shortage is due in part to doctors and nurses getting older and retiring. Government officials, health care organizations and rural and metro State Legislators are working together to address this challenge. According to the Minnesota Demographic Center, the total number of adults 65-plus is anticipated to double between 2010 and 2030 with more than one in five Minnesotans being an older adult.

health care bills will pass this session. Then the bills go to a bipartisan committee of senators and representatives to combine the bills into a general omnibus bill. Some Vicki Jensen aspects will be accepted or rejected. Clausen is also writing a bill to fill the workforce pipeline by increasing the number of doctors and nurses that will mentor and supervise medical and surgical residents. The bill will provide grants to sites and compensation for trainers. “I think people recognize that we do have an impending problem in Minnesota and we need to address that,” said Clausen. “Medical care is one of those basic needs of people.” Visit www.health.state.mn.us/divs/ orhpc/ for more information on the Minnesota Office of Rural Health and Primary Care. ❖

“When you look at the state of Minnesota in mental health, (out of) 13 regions, only two have what they believe is a required number of psychiatrists, which is metro and southeast Minnesota,” said Clausen. Loan forgiveness is proven to work: 88 percent of physicians and 93 percent of physician assistants and nurse practitioners are still in the same or similar location, with most remaining in rural areas after 15 and 20 years, according to the MDH. “The loan forgiveness program attracts people to where they are going to have an opportunity to practice

Senator Vicki Jensen, DFL-District 24 which includes Dodge, Rice, Steele and Waseca counties, co-authored SF 3. Within her district, Jensen has formed a group of hospitals and clinics to find solutions to shortages. “We have to figure out how to attract these people in these professions to come and serve in these rural areas where there are shortages,” said Jensen. “If you think about the basic things you need in a community, having access to those services is critical.” Clausen reported that SF 3 has bipartisan support and expects several

By 2020, a shortage of 2,000 primary care physicians is predicted, and part of that is retirement. These effects are already felt in Ely, Minn., where a dentist is retiring and there is no one to replace him. Ely has also closed its maternity ward. These are the statistics that concern Sen. Greg Clausen, DFL-District 57. Like the House, the Senate has several bills addressing health care shortages in rural Minnesota. Clausen, cochairperson of the Health Care Workforce Commission, is dedicated to growing our health care workforce to meet the State’s needs. Clausen’s bill — SF 3 — appropriates $3 million to expand loan forgiveness to mental health providers, public health nurses and dental therapists in rural and under-served communities. From that $3 million investment, Clausen expects to turn out about 400 workers.

By MARIE WOOD The Land Associate Editor Rural communities are faced not only with the challenge of an aging population, but aging care facilities as well. Built in the 1950s and 1960s, many of these facilities are not adaptable to modern health care delivery. Take Burns Manor, for example, in Hutchinson, Minn. Built in 1964-65, this 120-bed nursing home had an inadequate heating system, no central air conditioning and rooms in need of repair. Of those rooms, 56 were doubles, with only a handful of private rooms. The date Jan. 18, 2012, is etched in Linda Krentz’ memory. That was the day they moved 115 senior residents from Burns Manor to Harmony River Living Center, a brand new senior assisted living, transitional care, memory care and long-term care facility in Hutchinson. Move-in day was extremely exciting, said Krentz, remembering the many

smiles, tears and varied emotions. Krentz, campus administrator for the non-profit Harmony River, was a key player in the 10-year journey that began Linda Krentz with Hutchinson Health’s research that determined a new facility closer to the Hutchinson Health Hospital was the best option to meet the community’s skilled care needs. Harmony River offers 138 units that include skilled nursing care for seniors — long-term, short-term and memory care. The vast majority of units are private rooms now. The center also offers assisted living memory care. Harmony River is usually full. “We are grateful for that,” said Krentz. “We have been blessed by a strong census.” Nursing homes were originally modeled after hospitals.

Collaboration Collaboration was key in building Harmony River, said Krentz. Partners included AgStar Financial Services, Presbyterian Homes, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Senior Housing Partners and Hutchinson Health. As associate vice president of AgStar Rural Capital Network since 2006, Bob Madsen’s focus has been investing in health care projects to help sustain rural communities. In Minnesota, AgStar has invested in about 10 health care facilities. “The need is great and a lot of that is due to the age of the facilities, especially on the senior care side,” said Madsen. “You can’t renovate anymore. It’s time to replace, which is a bigger capital investment need.” So Madsen brings public-private partnerships of developers, investors and government agencies to the table. Madsen works with USDA to secure government money at lower interest rates.

senior life. The end result of a renovated or new senior care center is access to services in the community and health care jobs to help sustain the community. “The only drawback is now you have debt to pay back,” said Madsen, “but they have invested in their community for the next 50 years.” Looking at Harmony River residents and employees, Krentz can see the investment is well worth it. Since 1985, Krentz has worked primarily in rural health care, where her heart is, she said. “Don’t give up on your dream. If you are in a community that values your seniors — collaborate, reach out, ask the leaders. Go to other communities and ask,” said Krentz. “Don’t give up on our seniors.” Presbyterian Homes & Services operates senior facilities across Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin — visit www.preshomes.org for details.

FACILITY, from pg. 14A senior living is to create a home-like environment. Harmony River is progressive in its care delivery, Krentz said. Harmony River, owned by Hutchinson Health and managed by Presbyterian Homes & Services, was built to deliver the “Liberty Model” of care. The center fosters choices and independence with private rooms and bathrooms, blocks of units that make up a household and small dining rooms for residents. “The Liberty Model is a holistic look at a person’s care, wellness, exercise, family involvement, community involvement, spirituality,” said Krentz. “We’re not looking at just the hip fracture, we are looking at the whole person.” Staffing Harmony River has about 240 employees working in all aspects of the facility. “Right now we are in better shape than most,” said Krentz, who said she is well aware of shortages in health care workers, especially in long-term care. Always looking forward and forecasting, she sees a larger demand for certified nursing assistants than there is supply. In addition, the average age of licensed practical nurses is 45 to 50, which means they are getting ready to retire, said Krentz. “We are passionate about partnering and advocating for careers in this field,” she said. Harmony River’s director of nursing partners with Ridgewater College in Hutchinson to offer clinical hours for LPNs and registered nursing students. Harmony River also reaches out to colleges such as Minnesota State University, Mankato and St. Cloud State University to fill workforce needs.

But a Mankato family wouldn’t have to make the drive to see a Twin Cities sleep doctor. They could visit Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare, which has a location attached to the Mankato Clinic, and consult with a St. Paul sleep doctor on a television screen. Gillette’s telemedicine partnership only involves a handful of doctors because of uncertainty with insurance billing. As it stands, some insurance companies don’t pay hospitals for video visits the same way they do for in-person visits. A bill sponsored by Sen. Julie Rosen, R-Vernon Center, aims to expand telemedicine access statewide by requiring insurance providers to reimburse doctors for video appointments. The bill aims to reduce health care costs, bring more specialty coverage to rural areas and make people healthier. Telemedicine can involve patients driving to a clinic and seeing a faraway specialist on a screen. Other services even allow patients to, say, show a doctor their rash using a smartphone. Nearly all specialties are amenable to telemedicine, Dr. Jon Pryor, CEO of Hennepin County Medical Center, said at a March 4 news conference. Ninety percent of what you can learn from seeing a patient in an office can be gleaned from a TV screen, he said, though there are exceptions. “It’s really tough doing a rectal exam through telemedicine,” he joked. And it’s not just about staring into a camera and saying “ahhhh.” There’s telepathology, where a patient’s data can be sent around the world and analyzed. And medications can be managed by video, too.

“There’s tele-virtually everything,” Pryor said. At the Madelia Community Hospital, an emergency room patient could see a specialist from Sioux Falls, S.D., instead of being sent there by ambulance, said Mandy Bell, director of eCARE Quality and Innovation for Avera Health. Avera’s doctors are just a button’s press away from a Madelia emergency room physician who might want a second opinion or a neurologist’s take on whether a patient is showing stroke symptoms. Rosen’s bill will likely have a small cost, she said, because it also applies to Medical Assistance, which is provided by the state. She expects the bill to have a long-term savings, though. When asked whether telemedicine might prevent sorely needed specialists from setting up shop in rural Minnesota, Rosen said the opposite was more likely. A specialist would be more likely to come to a rural area if they could supplement their local customers through telemedicine, she said. The state’s trade association for health plans isn’t ready to embrace the bill. In a statement, Kathryn Kmit, director of policy and government affairs for the Minnesota Council of Health Plans, said the bill needs more work. She said the group looked forward to working with the Minnesota Hospital Association, a key backer, to find ways to improve health care access, quality and cost.

Farmers adapting to environmental changes By ELIZABETH DUNBAR Minnesota Public Radio News As rains have gotten heavier, Minnesota farmers in recent years have been expanding a 150-year-old drainage system, pulling billions of gallons more water off soggy land and letting the state’s corn and soybean fields thrive.

Reduced tilling, cover crops can improve soil, water ADAPTING, from pg. 35A or I can raise it two feet,” he said. With this kind of control, swings from flood to drought become less of a factor. But Legvold, a longtime conservationist, doesn’t stop there. “You’ve drained this field, getting rid of all that pesky water — what happens to the water?” he asked. When Legvold decides to let the water out, it meanders downhill into some wetlands, which help absorb any remaining nutrients and prevent the water from rushing into a stream. Limiting the amount of water being let out of drainage tile is a relatively new strategy in Minnesota. Some farmers like it because it helps them respond to both wet and dry extremes. And those who monitor water quality in the state like it because it can slow down the polluting nutrients. Controlling drainage water and using wetlands aren’t the only practices farmers such as Legvold are using. Reduced tilling can increase crop residue and boost organic material to help keep soil in place. And cover crops — things like rye grass or oilseed radishes — gobble up unused nutrients and add organic material that helps absorb excess water. Slow adoption But so far, not a lot of farmers are taking those steps, said Reetz of the MPCA. “Through time, we’ve really focused on moving water off the land, and now it’s time we start thinkng ci u d tro In

ing about how we retain it on the land and manage it and look at it as a resource to be managed — not just a nuisance to be pushed downstream,” he said. Hatfield said farmers are starting to do that in small numbers. For instance, some are pumping tile water into holding ponds and are using it to irrigate fields during dry summers. Others are turning to reduced or no-till — about a quarter of Minnesota’s

cropland now gets less plowing, according to the latest Census of Agriculture. Planting cover crops alongside row crops just hasn’t yet taken off, the USDA’s Hatfield said, estimating that only two percent of Midwest cropland now uses them. “It’s this miniscule amount compared to what we need to have in terms of protecting our soil,” he said. ❖

By TIM KROHN Mankato Free Press MANKATO, Minn. — The farmers of southern Minnesota who’ve listened to the Linder Farm Network for nearly 40 years can thank Don Linder for the fact it exists. “Don and his brother Bill were instrumental in getting our farm net- Don Linder work started. Don was a very forward-looking person and a real pioneer in getting a farm network started. We were one of the first farm networks in the country,” said Lynn Ketelsen, who’s been the voice of the farm network since it started in 1976. Don Linder died March 10. He was 89. Linder was part of a family with a broadcasting dynasty in southern Minnesota. Don, along with Harry Linder and Willard Linder, are in the Minnesota Broadcasting Hall of Fame. Don Linder founded KTOE and KDOG radio and lived most of his life in Mankato after growing up in Willmar where his dad, Harry, built a radio station. He also started the Travel Center in Mankato.

Linder was involved in numerous organizations in the Mankato area. “If I had to say one thing about Don, it’s that he was just a really nice, kind guy,” Ketelsen said. Linder studied electrical engineering at Iowa State University and graduated in 1946. After serving in the U.S. Navy, he returned to Minnesota. In 1950 he, his father and brother built a new station in Mankato. When they learned that an Arizona station already held the call letters they wanted, KATO, they signed the station on as KTOE. A sister FM station, KDOG FM (now Hot 96.7) took to the air in 1985. Other stations added to the Mankato group include KXLP, KXAC, KATO-FM, and AM1230 The Fan Mankato. Through the years he has also had ownership interest in stations in Marshall, St. James, Montevideo, Worthington and Hutchinson, as well as in Pella and Fort Dodge, Iowa. He was preceded in death by his wife Margaret in 2008, and son, Jeff. He is survived by sons Doug, John, Bruce, and Tom and their families.

Seed man: ‘Lots of decisions’ to make on non-GMOs agricultural world. Spring ahead Like everyone, Obermeyer is paying attention to predicted crop acres. Until the last planter stops, actual cutbacks in corn acres remain a lottery choice. He said he is comfortable with upwards of 3 million fewer acres into the ground this year in the United States. “Sure, it’s still a guessing game, but the tough arithmetic tells you soybeans are looking like a better choice to keep your money together this season,” Obermeyer said. “Up here in the northern Corn Belt we’ve had two years back-to-back of less-than-favorable growing conditions. Weather between now and planting time will dictate what we’re planting this year.” He suggested that with an early spring we may get more corn planted. The dairy farmers are committed to corn operations anyway. “But regardless the scenarios, I don’t think we’ll get nearly the same corn acres into the ground as we did last year,” said Obermeyer. ❖

to 40 years ago. “Enlist will have an experimental label in various geographies across the Corn Belt this season,” he said. “We have cleared approval through EPA in some areas but still waiting on Minnesota approval. “We think it will happen and we’ll be good to go for an early launch with Minnesota growers this spring. By 2016, we think there will be U.S. approval across the board.” Reflecting on the quick adoption of Roundup across the farm belt 15 or so years back, Obermeyer predicted an even quicker pick up on Enlist. “Perhaps key is that there isn’t a weed out there showing any resistance to the product,” he said. “It’s that growing number of weeds that Roundup no longer can knock down that is slowly squeezing the market life out of that product.” He’s not yet quoting costs on Enlist, venturing only that it will be fair market value because that’s one of the rules of marketing in the competitive

Rock Rapids, Iowa

ock Rapids, Iowa, makes the claim to be a “City of Murals,” and it is living up to that claim. There are 28 murals scattered throughout the city, with a high concentration downtown, making it possible to walk around and view the majority of them. The idea came from the town of Toppenish, Wash. Sandy Wynia was a business owner for many years and often thought about what she could do for her city. On a trip to Toppenish, she saw some of the 60 murals that beautify the town. “It was a long drive back to Iowa, and that gave me a long time to think,” Wynia said. She came up with the grand idea of making Rock Rapids a city of murals. She shared the idea with her husband. “He told me, ‘You can’t pull that off,’ and that was all the incentive I needed.” In 2002 the Rock Rapids Mural Society was formed. Wynia and four other volunteers currently spearhead the move to put Rock Rapids on the map as a City of Murals. The murals serve a two-fold purpose — beautify the city and preserve its history. Most of the paintings are of people and businesses from the city’s past. A long-term goal is to make Rock Rapids a tourist attraction.

Murals cover the sides of buildings, but second story windows also feature people looking down on the street. With only the street level being occupied, those paintings bring life back to the vacant floors, Wynia said. One traffic-stopper is a lawyer unlocking a nonexistent door in the place where the door to his office used to be. A mural of a painter painting the mural also draws a second look. Another has you looking through a “window” into the soda fountain that used to be in the building. The board of the Mural Society comes up with ideas, researches them, then sends packets to artists who submit a design and the cost, and the Society awards the project to the winning design. They often cost thousands of dollars, and are funded by Society fundraisers, memberships, donations, grants, and occasionally sponsors who have an interest in the mural’s subject. Wynia’s grandmother used to tell her, “Wherever you go, try to improve it.” That’s a mission the Rock Rapids Mural Society is carrying out. All of the Rock Rapid murals can be viewed at www.rockrapids.com. The Mural Society is found by clicking on the Chamber icon. ❖

Grain prices are effective cash close on March 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.

Once again the livestock markets are trying to move in opposite directions. The cattle market is remaining firm due to tight supplies of live inventory, while the hog market is slumping once again because of ample numbers of hogs. At an already historically wide difference between hog and cattle prices as well as pork and beef prices, how long can this continue? The answer will lie in the demand for each by the consumers. With the lighter number of available cattle for slaughter, the packers have been forced to compete for JOE TEALE live inventory each week for quite Broker some time. The immediate future Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. does not seem to hold a conclusion to this problem. This has kept the cash trade much higher than the futures market during this entire period. The main reason for the futures market to remain at a discount to cash has been the anticipation of the change in available cattle for slaughter. Another factor in the discount of futures is the fact that demand for beef has contracted over the past couple of years, due in part to the higher cost of beef and more recent the increase in the value of the U.S. dollar which has slowed export business. The battle between supply and demand continues, and will likely continue until either supply or demand dominates the market. This has caused the cash and futures markets to be relatively confined to a range trade in both awaiting that change. The expectation is that this range trade is likely to continue for a time. Therefore, producers should remain current and use See TEALE, pg. 2B

Some producers are seeing the down cycle in the grain markets as an opportunity to exit the business. Maybe it’s time to think about looking toward retirement and/or positioning the operation for future generations. All too often, however, planning for the transition is initiated at the same time the senior owner is walking out the door. Doesn’t the future of your operation — and your successors — deserve more?

As a primer, I’d like to look at the importance of taking a holistic approach (and the many things that includes) to the process. Discovery, development & implementation Ideally, the planning process should be carefully considered and begun years before the owner intends to exit. A holistic approach to this plan considers the goals for the individual, the family, and the business. The process begins with discovery to define the planning goals and objectives. The development phase begins exploring different strategies to meet those goals. Examination of strategies helps define the steps to implement the plan. At this point, it is important to start aligning advisors. The actual ownership transition can take on many forms and, while decisions are being made, the See OLSON, pg. 2B

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

The following market analysis is for the week ending March 6. CORN — Corn had a choppy, sideways week until Friday when the surging U.S. dollar sent it toward the lower end of the trading range we’ve been in since early February. The dollar’s late-week rally was inspired by the better-thanexpected non-farm payroll report for February. As of this writing, the U.S. dollar index was trading 97.685. The last time it traded above par or 100 was in April 2003. The payroll report showed an PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. increase of 295,000 jobs compared St. Paul to expectations for just a 235,000 increase. The unemployment rate fell from 5.7 percent to 5.5 percent. A stronger U.S. dollar makes our commodities more expensive to importers. The good numbers support the idea that interest rates may be raised/talked about at the June Federal Reserve meeting. All in all, corn tried to hold its own and failed this week, but it remains in the recent $3.80 to $4.00 per bushel trading range. Weekly exports were on the high end of forecasts, but were the second-lowest in the last seven weeks. Old crop sales were 32.6 million bushels and new crop were 6.2 million bushels. We need to average 15.3 million bushels of sales per week for old crop to hit the U.S. Department of Agriculture export forecast for 1.75 billion bushels. Ukraine is planning to send a delegation to China next month to discuss increasing their corn exports to them. See NYSTROM, pg. 2B

Brazilian beans at competitive advantage to U.S. NYSTROM, from pg. 1B Last week’s ethanol production was down 16,000 barrels per day to 931,000 barrels per day. Ethanol stocks were 66,000 barrels lower at 21.53 million barrels. The USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service monthly Grain Crush report on March 2 indicated that 445.7 million bushels of corn had been crushed for ethanol in January. The implied yield was 2.85 gallons per bushel, strikingly above the 2.7 gallons per bushel that the USDA uses for their balance sheets. Reportedly, a 280,000 barrel or 11.8 million gallon sale of ethanol was made this week to the United Arab Emirates, where it will be blended into gasoline for Iraq. Next week brings the monthly USDA crop production report. No big surprises are anticipated. We will likely absorb the fresh numbers before turning our focus to the Prospective Planting and Grain Stocks as of March 1 reports that will be released on March 31. The average trade estimates for the monthly report on March 10 are as follows: U.S. 2014-15 ending stocks at 1.826 billion bushels versus 1.827 billion last month, global ending stocks of 189.67 million metric tons versus 189.64 mmt in February, Argentine corn production at 23.54 mmt versus

23.0 mmt last month and Brazil’s corn production at 74.62 mmt versus 75.0 mmt previously. A case of H5N5 bird flu was discovered on a turkey farm in Minnesota last week. The farm was quarantined and all remaining birds were euthanized. Minnesota was added to the ineligible list to export live birds or poultry products by more than 20 countries. OUTLOOK: May corn fell 7 1⁄4 cents for the week to settle at $3.86 per bushel. The December contract was off 6 3⁄4 cents to close at $4.10 3⁄4 per bushel. May corn continues to be stuck in a $3.80 to $4.00 trading range. The December contract should have decent support until we see the release of Prospective Planting report with chatter that acres will be down and ending stocks tighter in 201516 than in 2014-15. Post-March 10 report, attention will concentrate on the March 31 reports that have a tendency to be market moving; however, there is not a high correlation for which way the market will close on the day of these reports. Since 2000, May corn has closed higher the day of the report nine times, lower five times and unchanged once. Last year May corn closed a dime higher on March 31. The USDA is currently conducting producer surveys for the planting report.

OLSON, from pg. 1B tax advisor, legal advisor, lender, insurance representative, financial advisor, and others should be consulted. It is common for a family business to engage the services of a professional to facilitate the planning process. People side of planning With everything else going on, it can be easy to forget about the “soft side” of the business. In order to prepare successors, the senior generation must be willing to release some responsibility and decision rights. The successor generation wants to take on more responsibility and will benefit from continued guidance from the senior generation. Introducing the successor to key advisors and allowing them to observe the senior owners’ interactions with various advisors, customers, vendors, and landlords will develop their credibility and knowledge. Additionally, clarify expectations for the successor. All too often the successor

is unsuccessfully trying to meet the senior generation’s expectations without fully understanding them. This can be frustrating to both generations, and in some cases, drives the successor away. Get started Communication is key. The owners, family members and business must be able to identify and understand their situation today and talk about what they want it to look like in the future. The next piece in this series on succession and transition planning will begin focusing on economics, including business profitability, budgets and business plans and family cash needs.

SOYBEANS — The trucker strike in Brazil is essentially over and harvest is back to normal. The strength in the U.S. dollar, which is the currency Brazilian exporters sell their soybeans, versus the weakness in the Brazilian real has made it attractive for the Brazilian grower to add to sales. The resulting basis weakness keeps their soybeans at a competitive advantage to U.S. soybeans. There were reports this week of China buying South American soybeans for April-May delivery. Brazil’s soybean harvest was pegged at 40 percent complete, slightly behind average. The result of the strike ending was a key reversal lower on the charts to begin the month of March and lower daily highs every day for the balance of the week. May soybeans traded a range of $10.39 to $9.76 3⁄4 for the week. They closed 46 3⁄4 cents lower for the week at $9.85 per bushel. The November soybean contract suffered the same fate, closing 32 1⁄4 cents lower for the week at $9.65 1⁄4 per bushel. Heavy rains in the northern areas of Argentina have caused local flooding. The Buenos Aires Grain Exchange anticipates that Argentina’s soybean production number could slip one mmt from their last estimate to 56 mmt. The USDA’s February projection was 56 mmt. Argentine farmers are set to halt grain sales for three days beginning March 11. They are protesting the 35 percent export tax on soybeans, and also want to draw attention to their overall plight ahead of the October presidential election. The Argentine government is now requiring that the sales of plastic storage bags be reported to tax authorities. The belief is this is the latest step to track stored soybeans and possibly force sales at a future date. Growers

hold soybean inventories as a hedge against inflation. Grower sales in the United States were non-existent once the rout began. Many ask what level prices need to hit to draw additional bushels to the market. At this point, everyone says $10 per bushel on the board, but it may be the calendar that affects sales versus price. The monthly USDA crop report is projected to cut U.S. 2014-15 ending stocks to 376 million bushels, down from the 385 million bushels forecast in February. Global ending stocks are expected to grow to 89.47 mmt versus 89.26 last month, Argentina’s bean production is forecasted at 56.88 mmt versus 56.0 mmt last month and Brazil’s bean production is expected to be 94.01 mmt compared to 94.50 mmt in February. Looking ahead to the March 31 USDA reports, May soybeans have closed higher six times since 2000 and closed lower nine times. Last year May soybeans settled 27 1⁄2 cents higher on the day of the March 31 reports. Weekly export sales for soybeans were 18.3 million bushels, dropping the average needed per week to 3.4 million bushels to attain the USDA projection for 1.79 billion bushels of exports. This was the biggest weekly sales number in three weeks and at the high end of pre-report estimates. We have 98 percent or 1.749 billion bushels of export sales on the books, which is in-line with past years for this point in the marketing year. OUTLOOK: Soybeans headed lower as the Brazilian trucker strike wound down. The soaring U.S. dollar also kept pressure on soybeans prices as end users moved to the sidelines. Call first support in May soybeans at $9.71/$9.61 per bushel with first resistance at $10.00 per bushel. ❖

TEALE, from pg. 1B strength to protect inventories. After some short-term strength, the hog market has once again begun to have prices slip lower again. This rally in price has come from the strength in the pork cutout which rallied on a shortterm reduction in hog numbers. As the weather has moderated hog numbers seem to be once again on the increase. With pork production on the climb and the export market slowing from the strength in the U.S. dollar, the likelihood of packers willing to increase

their bids seems a little remote. The cold storage situation is also a deterrent to much price appreciation as cold storage stocks are more than ample to meet current demand. The fact that pork is more or less the best value in the protein market could help in the macro picture and keep prices from a total collapse. That is the demand for pork could help offset the supply of hogs to some degree and slow the descent of prices paid for live inventory by the packer. Nonetheless, producers should approach the market with caution and protect profits when available. ❖

inventories begin to fill. Fresh cheddar is fairly easy to locate and purchase. Many cheese sellers do not anticipate any imminent factor that will significantly move markets off the current resting point, although there remains a “calm before the possible storm” apprehension with other manufacturers, who are nervous about the market’s lack of any clear direction and dread the unknown. There is an awareness of the potential for what some manufacturers believe could be minor softening in domestic cheese prices, as the spring flushes in the United States and European Union progress. ■ Cash butter jumped 8.5 cents Monday, then lost 3 cents Tuesday, and closed Friday at $1.75, up 5.5 cents on the week but 13 cents below a year ago.

January total cheese output was highest in 15 years MIELKE, from pg. 3B The Global Dairy Trade auction, March 3, saw the weighted average for all products jump 1.1 percent, following a 10.1 percent jump on Feb. 17. It is the sixth consecutive event of gain though the smallest since the Jan. 20 event. The gains were again led by Cheddar cheese, up 10.8 percent, following a 16.8 percent increase in the Feb. 17 event. Butter milk powder was next, up 6.8 percent, following a 1.9 percent increase last time. Next was skim milk powder, up 5.9 percent, which follows a 5.7 percent jump last time. Butter was up 2.5 percent, following a 1.1 percent increase last time. Declines were led by anhydrous milkfat, down 2.2 percent. It was up 6.4 percent last time. Whole milk powder followed, down 1 percent, after a 13.7 percent jump in the last event, and rennet casein rounded out the losses, down 0.7 percent, following a 1.2 percent increase last time. FC Stone reports the average GDT butter price today equated to about

$1.7744 per pound U.S., up from $1.7340 in the Feb. 17 event. Contrast that to Chicago Mercantile Exchange butter which closed Friday at $1.75 per pound. The GDT Cheddar cheese average was $1.5318 per pound U.S., up from $1.3854. The U.S. block Cheddar CME price closed Friday at $1.56. The CME Grade A nonfat dry milk price closed Friday morning at $1.0250 per pound. ■ Don’t let the stability in dairy product prices convince you that commercial disappearance is behind it. Jerry Dryer, editor of the Dairy and Food Market Analyst, said in Friday’s DairyLine that he would hesitate to use the word “stable,” when describing commercial disappearance. He said the market “appears to be in reasonably good balance,” but he thinks we’re going to get “overloaded with product here in the not too distant future.” Commercial disappearance of butter was down more than 5 percent during the most recent three months, Novem-

ber through January, he said, using his data and USDA’s Dairy Products report issued this week. Cheese was a “mixed bag” in that same three months, he said, with American type cheese sales up 2.9 percent. It staged a pretty nice recovery, he explained, because it was running in negative territory during third quarter 2014. Other than American cheese, sales were only up 1.1 percent, Dryer said, and in July, had been running as much as five percent ahead of a year ago. A year ago it was up 3.6 percent, he said so the 1.1 percent gain is “reasonably good.” Nonfat dry milk disappearance was up 10 percent, according to Dryer, but he attributes that to domestic use in the cheese vat, however he warned that will only generate more cheese and put more pressure on the markets. He also warned that inventory building is going to “fade into the rear mirror here soon so we’re going to have some cheese looking for a home as well.” When asked if the decline in butter disappearance was a result of the higher prices, Dryer replied, no, as domestic disappearance has been “pretty good,” but he stated that “the price is impacting our ability to export butter as opposed to any domestic resistance to the higher prices.” He admitted that there was some sticker shock but the lower prices have since lessened that impact.

MARKETING

When asked how low prices will go, he said butter only has a small amount of downside left but he sees the possibility of 10-15 cents coming off the cheese prices “pretty easily,” and his long range forecast has nonfat dry milk trading below $1 per pound as we get into the spring flush, he concluded. You’ll recall that January 2015 milk production totaled 16.5 billion pounds, according to USDA’s preliminary data, up 2.1 percent compared to January 2014. USDA’s latest Dairy Products report shows where the milk went. One place the extra milk didn’t go was the churn. January butter output totaled 179 million pounds, up 7.1 percent from December but 1.6 percent below January 2014. Some of the extra milk went to the dryer. Nonfat dry milk output, at 166 million pounds, was up 1.5 percent from December but 19.4 percent ahead of a year ago. The report also shows powder stocks at 239.8 million pounds, as of Jan. 31, up 0.6 percent from December 2014 and 60.8 percent above those a year ago. Total cheese output in January hit 980 million pounds, down 1.9 percent from December but 2.8 percent above a year ago. The Daily Dairy Report says January cheese output was the highest in 15 years.

starch molecules. “Michigan State is noted for testing forage corns. They say all corn starch isn’t the same. If you look at starch molecules under a microscope different hybrids have different sizes of molecules. Floury grain with large starch molecules has a low adhesion factor and will dissolve easily in the cow. Starch molecules from regular grain is small and tightly bound to each other and not readily digestible in the cow. It’s like comparing a loose soil structure like a sandy loam to a tightly packed soil like red clay. A nutritionist that is balancing a ration needs to know which type of starch they are dealing with.” Root structure is always important in corn production. “You need a big enough root to draw the nutrients out of the soil,” Mohr said. “That’s the primary function of roots; its secondary function is as an anchor.” Whether cobs are white or pink stems from the breeding background. Silage hybrids started as grain lines have white cobs. He prefers a white cob because if corn silage is put up at 65 percent moisture or higher, as the cob starts to dry, a white cob will remain softer and more chewable. He deals in 90-day to 102-day maturity silage corn in his southeast Minnesota, southwest Wisconsin and northeast Iowa market. He tells growers to hold back on population per acre in their silage corn fields. “Get up to like 38,000 PPA and the ratio of the outside of the stalk to the inside gets worse,” he said. “The more outside stalk you have the more lignin. When you plant lighter, that stalk gets bigger and the ratio gets better because that inside is softer with a little less lignin.” Mohr’s firm prices silage hybrids about $5 more than the conventional hybrids. “We do more research; we do more testing on the silage corn. And when you’re growing a crop for dairy cows

we think it’s important that you provide both production data and nutrition data,” he said. With grain corn, all that’s needed is a yield check, he added. Most companies rely on Near Infrared Reflectance tests. Mohr challenges the validity of the NIR tests. He indicated both some Wisconsin and University of Minnesota dairy scientists are questioning this procedure also. He’s suggesting wet chemistry techniques give better data. “We do yield checks (for tonnage) on our silage hybrids plus we do wet chemistry testing. We do a 24-hour rumen fluid test which is more expensive than the typical NIR tests done by most companies,” Mohr said. “The University of Wisconsin silage tests are NIR; they seldom do wet chemistry tests.” “There’s a cost,” he continued. “With our bigger customers close to our headquarters, I’ll test every field. I know the fields. I’ll get samples from every field; run those samples up the Forage Lab test at Marshfield for those 24hour rumen fluid tests. Cost is about $70. But nutritionally you then know precisely what you’re starting with. I get the results back out to the dairy farmers; they give them to their ration guy and mix it accordingly.” Mohr doesn’t predict shifting in the silage corn market. “If they got livestock they’re going to buy silage hybrids,” he said. “Because of the nutritional impact, I don’t advise buying the cheapest silage corn just to save a few dollars at the front end. Poor performance and you’re paying the price all season.” Quality of the finished product sets the price for silage corn. “Because the dairy farmer has a sharp eye for nutritional value, good silage corns are always in demand,” said Mohr. Mohr was interviewed at the Minnesota Organic Farming Conference in St. Cloud in January. ❖

Don’t forget about water for heifers

7 B THE LAND, MARCH 13, 2015 << MILKER’S MESSAGE >>

One may argue that the single most important nutrient on earth is water. Humans can survive weeks without any food, but only a few days without water. Most livestock can survive for two months without food, but, again, cannot go more than a week without water. Water is very important to all animals, and especially dairy cows. Cows require water for bodily functions like digestion as well as lactation. On average, milk produced by dairy cows is about 87 percent water. A cow’s daily water requirement can range from 30-50 gallons. Dairy cows spend about 4-5 hours per day eating, but only 20-30 minutes drinking water. It’s important to take steps in order to meet your cows’ needs and optimize water intake. Here are some tips: • Make sure waterers are easily accessible. There should be direct access to water as cows exit the milking parlor, as well as access to water within 50 feet of the feed bunk. • Provide trough space of 3.5 linear inches per cow, and have at least two waterers per pen. • Check flow rates, and maintain a minimum of three inches in the trough at all times. • Keep waterers clean, as clean, fresh water will lead to optimum intake.

Assessing the risks of HoBi-like viruses in cattle Scientists are tracking a new species of pestivirus that could pose a threat to U.S. cattle. Tentatively called “HoBi-like viruses,” they are related to bovine viral diarrhea viruses, which cause significant economic losses to cattle producers worldwide. Originally found in South America, HoBi-like viruses have since been associated with disease outbreaks in Southeast Asia and more recently in Europe. Signs of infection include slowed growth, reduced milk production, higher rates of reproductive and respiratory diseases, and a higher incidence of death among young animals. No vaccines are available to specifically prevent HoBi infection in cattle. At the Agricultural Research Service’s National Animal Disease Center in Ames, Iowa, microbiologist Julia Ridpath and her colleagues are characterizing HoBi-like viruses and determining whether available BVDV diagnostics and vaccines are effective in detecting and preventing them. “We’ve found that cattle vaccinated against BVDV have little or no protection against HoBi infections,” Ridpath said. “Our current BVDV tests and commercial vaccines are not adequate to detect HoBilike viruses and protect cattle against them.” These findings, published in Veterinary Microbiology and the Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, indicate a need for new diagnostics and vaccines specific to these viruses. Ridpath, who is in NADC’s Ruminant Diseases and Immunology Unit, also demonstrated that

Our current BVDV (bovine viral diarrhea viruses) tests and commercial vaccines are not adequate to detect HoBi-like viruses and protect cattle against them.

— Julia Ridpath

acute HoBi infections in cattle result in immunosuppression. Like BVDV, HoBi has the ability to cross the placenta, infecting the fetus and establishing a lifelong infection in an animal. Such animals are referred to as “persistently infected.” “A calf born persistently infected with BVDV is like a ‘Typhoid Mary,’ shedding virus into the environment through its tears, blood, urine, feces, and skin,” Ridpath said. “All of its tissues carry the virus. We have found that the same is true of calves persistently infected with HoBi-like viruses, and they can transmit the virus to other calves, sheep, goats, and pigs.” Ridpath and her colleagues at NADC are collaborating with researchers in Brazil and Italy to investigate the prevalence of HoBi. In a study published in the Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation in 2014, the team conducted a survey of fetal bovine serum collected from animals in the United States. No HoBi-like viruses were detected. This suggests that the viruses have not invaded the country. The first published report of HoBi in European cat-

tle was in a 2010 respiratory disease outbreak. However, ARS scientists and their colleagues from Italy demonstrated that HoBi had been in circulation in Europe earlier than previously reported. They detected the virus in archived samples sent to a diagnostic laboratory in Italy in 2007. Future efforts will continue to involve conducting immunology surveys to ensure that HoBi-like viruses have not entered the United States, Ridpath says. Additionally, scientists are working to develop tests to screen imported animals and animal products to make sure they are free of these viruses. This article was published in the Nov./Dec. 2014 issue of Agricultural Research magazine. It was written by ARS information staff member Sandra Avent. This research is part of Animal Health, an ARS national program (No. 103) described at www.nps.ars.usda.gov.

Dry cow mastitis management is just as important for your heifers. Fifty to 60 percent of all new infections caused by environmental pathogens occur during the dry period. In addition, over 50 percent of clinical coliform mastitis events in the first 100 days in milk originated during the dry period. Mastitis contracted during the dry period can result in an estimated loss of $200 per cow per year. Environmental organisms can infect the cow during lactation and/or during the dry period. Included in that is the spread of mastitis-causing bacteria on biting flies that congregate on teat ends. Another cause can be contagious organisms that spread through the herd. These risk factors increase a cow’s chance of matitis during the dry peried: cow’s lactation number, if she had a high milk yield at dry off, and the method used for drying off. Risk factors related to the udder quarter include teat end exposure to bacteria, teat end condition, and the timely formation of the keratin plug. To prevent dry cow mastitis, maintaining a clean environment is key. Cows with known infections should be separated from the rest of the group. As flies can be a threat to udder health, use an effective fly management program. Maximize immune defenses with vaccinations that have gram negative core antigens. Many options are available for dry cow mastitis treatment. The first is an intramammary infusion at dry off. This will eliminate existing infections and prevent new infections early in the dry period. These infusions will not prevent infections caused by resistant bacteria and

Another option is an internal teat sealant. They are insoluble in milk and thus have excellent persistence. Internal sealants can be hand-stripped out of the quarter after calving. If they aren’t stripped out in time, they can be safely ingested by the calf. Lastly, there are no antimicrobial properties or residue issues with internal teat sealants.

used.These are made of a plastic polymer and form a physical barrier around the teat. They are easy to apply, dry quickly, and are non-irritating and non-toxic. External sealants will shed off the teat in 3-7 days. For full benefit, external teat sealants should be applied at dry off, and then re-applied at 10 days before calving.

ST. CLOUD, Minn. — Mastitis can have several negative effects: decreased milk production, high bulk tank somatic cell count, potential loss of milk quality premiums, and an overall decrease in farm profitability. Milk quality and mastitis management tie in to several aspects of the farm: parlor management, cow comfort, facilities cleanliness, hygiene, milk production and profitability. Mastitis management is considered to be most important in our lactating cows. However, mastitis must be managed in heifers and dry cows too. Taking the time to manage your pregnant heifers for mastitis matters. Milkproducing tissues in the udder undergo the most development during the first pregnancy. Mastitis during this time can cause permanent damage and lead to reduced lifetime production. There are several causes of mastitis in heifers. Bacteria that are present on the udder skin surface can enter through the teat orifice. If your calves suckle on each other, the bacteria from their mouths can transfer onto the teats. Bacteria present in a dirty environment, including those on biting flies, may congregate on teat ends. When it comes to fighting bacteria the most important thing you can do is keep the environment clean. Regularly remove manure, change bedding, and keep the heifers’ pens dry. Cleanliness is key in mastitis prevention. Watch for calves sucking on each other. If you notice it, separate the problem calf from the rest of the group. Heifers can be treated for mastitis during any of their three trimesters without any effect on calving. However, treatment should not be administered within 45 days of expected calving date. When treating heifers, it is best to use a non-lactating cow product. Lastly, consult with your veterinarian before administering any sort of mastitis treatment to a heifer.

Glischinski’s photo collection also records the hay days of Minnesota railroading during the 1940s and 1950s. That was the era when steam was giving way to diesel and even a few gas-electric trains. A 1947 photo, by Ronald V. Nixon, records the panorama of the Mississippi River Valley from the top of Barn Bluff as a steam-powered mail and express train heads toward Red Wing. Glischinski tells the reader about that train: “The steam locomotive is a streamlined 4-6-4-F7class Hudson. Designer Otto Kuhler styled the shrouding with orange and gray paint and silver wings. Six Hudsons were built by American Locomotive in 1938 for heavy high-speed passenger service.

They once pulled glamour trains such as the Hiawathas, but by 1947 diesels had taken over many runs and the beautiful engines wound up on secondary trains such as this.” Each of the four photographic sections of Minnesota Railroads begins with a few pages of text that analyzes that period of railroad history. “The Revival and Revitalization, 1980-2000” text concludes with the following regarding that period’s final years: “There were fewer miles of track, but those that remained were well maintained and carried more traffic. The large railroads of 1980 Burlington Northern, Chicago & Northwestern, Milwaukee Road, and Soo Line had morphed into BNSF Railway, Canadian Pacific, and Union Pacific. Lines that once might have been abandoned were operated by short line and regional railroads. Railroads, once spurned by investors as a declining industry, had become an attractive investment.” Most Americans are familiar with the big railroad names, but Glischinski’s Revival and Revitalization section is full of photos of trains and names of companies that were created during those years. There are the Otter Tail Valley Railroad and the short line

conglomerate RailAmerica. There are the Minnesota Commercial Railway, Twin Cities and Western, St. Croix Valley Railroad and others. These are the companies, along with the big familiar companies, that are moving freight, or not moving it, in the 21st century. There were 19 railroads operating in Minnesota in 2012, according to Glischinski. The longest was BNSF with 1,598 miles of track and the shortest was the Red River Valley & Western Railroad that operated on two miles of track. Glischinski’s photo collection presents a remarkable history of Minnesota railroading. Sometimes they are more than that. Many hint at or show a broader American history such as the 1949 photo of pistol toting mail workers sorting mail in a railway post office or Byron D. Olsen’s June 1961 photo of a train on Minneapolis’ Stone Arch Bridge which also shows the St. Anthony Falls Lock and Dam No. 1 under construction. Some photos, like William D. Middleton’s 1959 shot of the steward in the North Coast Limited dining car, are art and history combined. “Minnesota Railroads: A Photographic History, 1940-2012” is an entertaining and educational look into the state’s past and a thoughtful analysis of what the future may hold. It can be obtained directly from the University of Minnesota Press or from bookstores. ❖

By that time, Close was “isolated and lonely,” prone to picking at a spot on her hand until it bled. She felt abandoned, and started acting out until she was sent back to the States, to various family members and schools in an attempt to control her behavior. She began drinking and sleeping around, much to her parents’ horror. At 17, she married her first of See BOOKWORM, pg. 14B

Your friends think you’re made of rubber. You always bounce back, as they point out. You’re always happy when the good times roll but when they don’t, you reach for your bootstraps. Nothing lays you low for long because you just bounce back. THE BOOKWORM And it seemed that way for SEZ Jessie Close. But in her new By Terri Schlichenmeyer memoir “Resilience: Two Sisters and a Story of Mental Illness” (with Pete Earley), she wasn’t bouncing back. She was bouncing around. The Creature lived right behind her left ear. It had been screaming “over and over and over again,” taunting Jessie Close to kill herself. She didn’t want to do it, but that wasn’t the first time suicide had entered her mind. Born the last of four children, Close had always been “the family troublemaker.” The trouble, however, wasn’t all hers: when she was five years old, Close’s parents joined the Moral Re-Armament, which was “a cult, plain and simple.” The family moved to New York, to an MRA estate where they were purposely separated. Eventually, Close’s father was sent to Africa and the family joined him there.

‘Close brings readers to edge’ BOOKWORM, from pg. 13 B five husbands, a man whose abuse drove her further into the mania she’d been experiencing for years. But the relationship Close had with him wasn’t the only thing that turned bad: through the 1960s and 1970s, she held a series of jobs in various parts of the country, married and left men impulsively, had an abortion and gave birth to three children. She received tentative diagnoses and medications but their effects didn’t last. By the time Close neared her 50s, the Creature was winning…. Of course, there’s much more to this story and therein lies the issue I had with this book: there’s almost too much to take in when you’re reading “Resilience.” Author Jessie Close (with Pete Earley) packs a tornado in this memoir, in the form of multiple moves, jobs, and loves. She’s here on one page and there a page later, only to move the story to a new locale again in a few paragraphs. Yes, you could argue that the narrative explains the illness, but it was a bit too much. The appeal of this book, I think, lies between those lines. Close brings readers to the edge with her,

Close brings readers to the edge with her, clearly giving us a sense of the helplessness and fear that accompanied her mental illness. clearly giving us a sense of the helplessness and fear that accompanied her mental illness. That, not the frenzied travelogue, is what’s worth reading. Add in a few second-viewpoint chapters from big sister and actress Glenn Close and you’ve got a memoir that, as a whole, is pretty powerful. See if you can overlook the relentlessness of it, and “Resilience” could be a book you’ll bounce for. Look for the reviewed book at a bookstore or a library near you. You may also find the book at online book retailers. The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terri has been reading since she was 3 years old and never goes anywhere without a book. She lives in Wisconsin with three dogs and 10,000 books. ❖
