GUEBERT, from pg. 2 Fourth of July breeze. Given today’s global economy, poisonous politics and trans-national interests, however, many of Big Ag’s biggest trade backers don’t see as simple or divine. In fact, free trade’s newest star, the TransPacific Partnership, or TPP, may never rise (like the comatose, 14-year-old Doha trade talks) because of deep political and legal concerns both here and abroad. For example, the highly integrated, corporately structured U.S. hog industry wants Japan, the world’s biggest Will the White pork importer, to slash pork import tarHouse accept iffs from about $2 per the 50 percent pound to zero as part of pork tariff cut any TPP deal between the in return for 12 nations now negotiatdeeper cuts by ing the pact. Japanese Japan in, say, farmers offer cuts of $1 per pound but no lower. imported rice or cars? Can Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe defend the high-but-notas-high tariffs demanded by his farmers in TPP talks? Will the White House accept the 50 percent pork tariff cut in return for deeper tariff cuts by Japan in, say, imported rice or cars? Will U.S. hog titans oppose the TPP if Japanese pork tariffs aren’t cut bone deep? All are important questions as TPP talks stagger toward a finishing line. Not one, however, offers even a wink or nod to comparative advantage. In fact, all are far more political and corporate than economic. As such, trade deals like the TPP (Doha, too) transform Ricardo’s theory into something almost rustic or quaint when inserted into today’s 24/7 trans-national pursuit of profit. Long-time free trader Krugman acknowledged as much in a February 2014 Times column titled “No Big Deal.” In it, the free-trading, liberal economist declared that he’d be “undismayed and even a bit relieved if the T.P.P. just fades away” because “there isn’t a compelling case for this deal, from either a global or national point of view.” Indeed, what the TPP does, he explains, “is increase the ability of certain corporations to assert control over intellectual property … Is this a good thing from a global point of view? Doubtful. The kind of property rights we’re talking about here can alternatively be described as legal monopolies.” And legal monopolies, dressed up as “free trade” deals but still smelling like lard, are a long way from hiring the neighbor kid to rake leaves.

Sunday. Froiland was referencing verse two of Psalm 107 from the Bible — “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so” — during his sermon at Cowboy Church, a nondenominational Christian service hosted every month in Jackson before the Sunday horse sale. “I figured it would be a help to people that wanted to go to church, but wanted to come to the sale,” said Judy Weidemeier, president of the MinnIowa Cowboys for Christ, which organizes the service. Cowboys for Christ was founded in 1970 and has chapters across the United States. Its main focus is to share the gospel with those drawn to the cowboy image and way of life. Different chapters have been hosting “Cowboy Church” for more than 40 years. Weidemeier said she often missed the horse sale in Jackson herself because she didn’t want to miss church. Now she can attend both. “We just want to get Jesus to people in different places,” said Kim Olson, another member of the Minn-Iowa Cowboys for Christ. “Some people think you only hear about Him in church.” Each month, the service starts at 8 a.m., featuring music, often in a country bluegrass style, followed by a sermon based on the Bible. There are no formal scripture readings or communion. At Sunday’s Cowboy Church, Froiland, a gifted musician from Stewartville, led worship. Between playing a guitar and two different banjos and singing, he sermonized. “Pray as though it’s all up to God,

and then work as though it’s all up to you,” Froiland said. Former Jackson Livestock Exchange owners Trent and Kathy Kolander welcomed the idea of Cowboy Church, “and it’s something I kind of tried to just keep on with, because there is a following of people for it,” said K.C. Kolander, who now owns the sale barn. While its name and location are tied to those who deal with livestock, Cowboy Church is open to anyone. Next month will mark one year since the first service took place in Jackson, shortly after the Minn-Iowa Cowboys for Christ was organized by Weidemeier, a massage therapist by trade who owns several horses and lives near Buffalo Center, Iowa. She said God gave her the desire to start the local chapter and have a service to bring the gospel to people who won’t necessarily hear it in a church. “(Jesus) was out in the countryside; I guess we’ll be out in the countryside too,” said Olson, who lives near Albert Lea and owns several horses, “a lot of cats” and a couple chickens. During the week, she works as a para-educator for Albert Lea Area Schools. Currently, Jackson is the only regularly scheduled Cowboy Church the Minn-Iowa chapter members organize. They also do outreach at trail rides, fairs and horse expos in the area and are hoping to add more regular services at different locations in the future.

There is a nominal fee for soil testing. • “Why should I get my soil tested?” Using chemical fertilizers every year can increase pollution as well as waste money so it is wise to know what nutrients your soil has and what might be used to improve it. Testing eliminates guesswork. • “Can I test the soil myself with one of the soil testing kits I see for sale?” I don’t have experience using one of these kits. I recommend using the University for soil testing.

Vegan cookbook serves up classic Italian cuisine Cookbook Corner By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent For a wide variety of reasons — from healthwise to ethical — people are “eating vegan” more and more. But what does that mean? And how can a regular Jane or Joe fit veganism into their lifestyle? Turns out eating vegan is easier than it seems, and you don’t have to do it full time to get many of the benefits. Loads of foods you already enjoy are already vegan, from your morning cereal to your evening snack of chips and salsa, and many more can become vegan with simple tweaks. Eating vegan simply means avoiding any food from an animal source: meat and dairy products. “Living vegan” means also avoiding other animal products like leather, wool and honey. Cookbooks abound to give instruction and inspiration, and one of the best in the genre is Chloe Coscarelli, author of “Chloe’s Kitchen,” “Chloe’s Vegan Desserts” and now, “Chloe’s Vegan Italian Kitchen” (Simon and Schuster, 2014). ■ She uses a neat trick in her Baked Italian Onion Rings to keep the batter from getting too “clumpy.” The Johnsons loved these much lighter versions
The Johnson clan gives four out of four ‘yums’ to Baked Italian Onion Rings of the usual greasy onion rings — as well as the flavor of the Italian bread crumbs — and bequeath four out of four “yums” to this recipe. Baked Italian Onion Rings 2 cups Italian bread crumbs 2 teaspoons sea salt 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional) 1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1⁄4 cups water 1 large onion, sliced into 1⁄2-inch rings Olive oil for brushing Sauce of choice for dipping Preheat the oven to 450 F. Generously grease one or two large baking sheets. In a large bowl, combine bread crumbs, salt and red pepper, if using. Mix thoroughly until combined, then divide the mixture into two small bowls and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk flour and water until a thick batter forms. Separate onion rings. Dip each onion ring into the batter, letting any excess drip off. Using one of your bowls of bread crumbs first, dip the onion ring into the bread crumb mixture, coating completely, and
place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining onion. About halfway through the process, when your bowl of bread crumb mixture gets too clumpy, discard the first bowl, and move on to the second bowl of bread crumb mixture. Then, using a pastry brush, dab each onion ring with oil. Do this by dipping the brush in oil and patting each onion ring, rather than brushing. Bake for about seven minutes until nicely golden, turn over each onion ring, and bake for four to five minutes more until golden. Season with salt and serve. ■ As soon as this season’s new potatoes are ready, grab a sackful along with some fresh parsley for your gremolata, a traditional Italian seasoning blend that’s often served on fish or chicken but also goes heavenly with vegetables, especially potatoes. A match made in heaven! Roasted Potatoes with Gremolata Roasted Potatoes: 1 1⁄4 pounds new potatoes, cut into bite-size pieces 3 tablespoons olive oil 3⁄4 teaspoon sea salt Gremolata: 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley 2 garlic cloves, finely minced or crushed Zest of one lemon 1 tablespoon olive oil 1⁄4 teaspoon sea salt 1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper For the roasted potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 F.

Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake fine and line the bottom with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk wine, water, oil, vine-
gar and vanilla. Pour this wet mixture into the dry mixture and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix. Fill the prepared cake pan with batter. Bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out dry with a few crumbs clinging to it. Be sure to rotate the cake halfway through baking time. Let the cake cook completely. For the topping: In a small saucepan, combine wine and sugar and cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture begins to boil. Let boil for one to two minutes and remove from heat. Place raspberries in a bowl and pour the wine mixture over the raspberries.
Refrigerate and let soak for at least 30 minutes and up to two days. Slice cake and dust each serving with powdered sugar. Then top each slice with a dollop of whipped cream and a spoonful of wine-soaked raspberries.

Draft horses still pulling their weight in the field By MARIE WOOD The Land Associate Editor When Mike Berthiaume was a boy growing up in Wright County, Minn., his dad used draft horses to farm. He recalled that his dad practiced crop rotation, and fertilizer was manure from their 50 cows. “If I could do it, I would go back and do it that way,” said the 68-year-old Berthiaume, who still lives in Wright County today. Berthiaume and his friends are keeping the old ways alive with the draft horse and equipment presentations at the 2015 Minnesota Horse Expo. Draft horses and drivers will show how farm work was done in the early 1900s at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds’ AgStar Submitted Arena, April 24 and 25 at 1:30 p.m. David Holthaus, of Richmond, Minn., shows how he would This is the first year that the Expo has offered bring Queen and Bonnie in from a good day in the field. a draft horse and vintage farm equipment show, said Glen Eaton, Minnesota Horse Expo Minnesota Draft Horse Association and Minnesota president. Horse Breeders Association. The result is a show “I used to work that type of equipment when I was that features 19 teams of horses pulling a wide varia kid. That’s something to see,” said Eaton, who ety of equipment: a manure spreader, plows, digger, sulky plows, corn planter, grain drill, corn binder, grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin. stone boat and more. Berthiaume, a farrier who has bred, raised and Draft horse teams range from single horses to shown Belgian draft horses for 35 years, has brought two draft horse clubs together — Northern three and four abreast, along with a six-horse hitch with two teams of three horses. “We have 26 units total that will be demonstrated that day,” said Berthiaume.

Most of the horsedrawn farm equipment dates back to the early 1900s. Brands include John Deere, McCormick, Pioneer, Minnesota and International. “Some of these plows will be back in the era of the late 1920s up to maybe about the early ’40s. Most of the equipment was made in that era,” Berthiaume said. For the grand finale, the draft horse teams will be ground driven to line up in front of the crowd. Draft horses Belgians, Percherons, Clydesdales, Shires and Norwegian Fjords will be pulling equipment. These draft horses have long histories. The Shire can be traced to 12th century England where it was first used as a war horse. The Belgian, believed to be the most direct descendant of the “Great Horse” of medieval times, carried knights onto the battlefield. See DRAFT, pg. 9

tion, you extend their work time until they are physically fit,” Berthiaume said. He has seen a renewed interest in draft horses for farming. Northern Minnesota’s Draft Horse Field Days last fall was their largest ever, with 120 horses, 2 mules, four oxen and over 1,200 spectators. The demonstration takes place in a field so the audience can see how the ground is worked by the different equipment. The demos inspire oohs, aahs and applause from the crowd. “We do all kinds of tillage work, plowing, discing, cutting corn, hauling to the shredder, picking corn, threshing grain,” Berthiaume said. “There are so many different activities going on.” A growing Amish community in southern Minnesota is still making a living with farm horses. In fact, a Blooming Prairie man makes modern horse-drawn farm equipment. Berthiaume demonstrated a culti-mulcher from him. He has also seen renewed interest in driving horses. As people are getting older they get into driving, and not just the heavy breeds — light breeds and

DRAFT, from pg. 8 The draft horses coming to the Minnesota State Fairgrounds are magnificent animals weighing around 1,600 to 1,800 pounds. At about 16 to 17 hands, these horses aren’t the largest of the the draft horses, said Berthiaume. Show horses, such as the famous Budweiser Clydesdales, are even bigger versions. Bigger isn’t always better, though, when it comes to working horses. “The farm horses that we use here aren’t those gigantic horses,” he said. “Some drafters are around 18 hands, but most guys don’t like them that big because they don’t have as much stamina in the field. Not as athletic.” Berthiaume and his colleagues condition their horses by driving sleigh rides in the winter and hauling manure in the spring. For most, farming with horses is a hobby, but they do practice in the fields once the ground thaws. He rents most of his land out for cash crops, but has land set aside to work with his Belgians. “If we’re going out and start spring field work, you can only work a few hours the first few days.

stones into the rock box. Heavy duty, steel-hardened teeth can be reversed for longer useful life in this cumbersome chore of cleaning fields. Just launched this past November, Anderson said he’s getting lots of good comments because this system can really take the chore out of cleaning a field of rocks, even rocks weighing up to a couple hundred pounds. “Just eliminating the getting on and off your ATV should cut your time by 50 percent to 70 percent. And it’s a one-man operation instead of two or three which a farmer often deploys if he can find the rock pickers,” said Anderson. The Marshall Picker is being marketed wherever field rocks are a problem. He already has distributors in South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota. Purchase price is $5,500, complete with deep cycle battery and two-inch coupler connecting hitch. The machines are black and powder coated.

Like it even better when those rocks are gathered into a 10-gauge steel rock box with mesh floor that hydraulically dumps them when and where you wish? And all the while, you’re still riding in comfort on your ATV. Such a beast is now on the market. Called the Marshall Picker because it was invented and now manufactured in Marshall, Minn., Doug Anderson describes his unique tool and how it came about. “People are picking rock by hand and often using their ATVs to transport them across their fields,” said Anderson. “So I thought, why not a contraption that lets them do that very job without getting on and off their ATV.” His stone picker weighs 680 pounds and can haul up to 1,700 pounds of field rock.

Winter’s frost rapidly coming out of the ground By TIM KING The Land Correspondent In mid-March, with temperatures climbing into the 60s from East Grand Forks, Minn., to Estherville, Iowa, the winter’s frost was rapidly coming out of the ground. “The first two to four inches of top soil thawed on March 10, and I expect that by the end of the forecasted warm period frost should be out down to eight to 10 inches,” said Jeff Vetsch of the University of Minnesota’s Southern Research and Outreach Center at Waseca. Vetsch said that the 25-inch frost depth at Waseca measured on March 9 was about average and that it was similar to last year’s maximum frost depth. March 9 was the last day downward movement of frost was measured anywhere in the region. Frost did not penetrate as deeply at the University of Minnesota’s research station at Lamberton this year as it did last year. This year, on March 9, the frost depth at the Southwest Research and Outreach Center at Lamberton recorded frost at 37 inches on bare ground. Frost on ground with sod on it was at 19 inches at the SWROC on March 9. A year earlier, on March 17, 2014, bare ground frost was at 54 inches. “Last winter’s frost was unusually deep,” said Bruce Potter, assistant Extension professor for integrated pest management at SWROC. “This winter we did not have the prolonged extreme cold temperatures.” Based on weather forecasts, Potter said he believes the frost will be out before fieldwork begins in southwestern Minnesota this year. That wasn’t necessarily the case last year.
“In parts of Minnesota last year, the upper soil thawed and dried deep enough to plant corn but there was still some frost lower in the profile,” Potter said. The Research and Outreach Centers at Lamberton and Waseca are part of a network of weather stations that, among other things, report frost depth to the National Weather Service’s Northwest River Forecast Center. Frost depths are measured using tubes that go 5 to 6 feet into the earth. In Long Prairie, which is the most northerly frost tube station in the state outside of Duluth and Grand Forks N.D., the frost just kept getting deeper this year. On March 9, Steve and Nancy Potter, who operate the weather station, measured frost at 40 inches. Their frost tube is on soil covered with vegetation and not in an open field. “In the middle of March of 2014 the frost depth was 11 inches,” Nancy Potter said. “It did not go below 12 inches last year.” The frost tube at Grand Forks measured frost at 46 inches and Duluth was at 39 inches, on March 9. South of Duluth, in northwestern Wisconsin, frost was at 57 inches. Other frost depth measuring sites in Minnesota include Morris at 30 inches, Montevideo at 42 inches, Blue Earth County at 23 inches and the University of Minnesota at St. Paul at 32 inches. The River Forecast Center does not have frost tube stations reporting to it in northern Iowa but a tube in the area of Prairie du Chien, Wis., across the Mississippi from Iowa, measured frost at 27 inches. A tube at Sioux Falls, S.D., had frost at 15 inches. Soil temps Most areas don’t have frost tubes to measure frost depth so estimating frost depth is a guessing game.
CONCRETE HOG SLAT
“I don’t know of official deep soil temperatures locally,” said Dan Martens, University of Minnesota Extension educator for Stearns, Benton, and Morrison Counties. “Reports from well drillers, plumbers, grave diggers are as good as it gets. And I’d guess it varies widely across the landscape.” Martens’ colleague Beth Berlin, an Extension educator for horticulture, said she’s heard informal reports of frost as deep as 60 inches or more. “In regards to the impact on perennial plants, depth of the frost is not as big of a factor as temperatures near the soil surface where the roots for most of the plants are concentrated,” Berlin said. “Due to the lack of snow, it is concerning how hardy the perennials will be. Those who insulated their gardens with mulch such as leaves, straw, or pine needles, will likely have less loss, but for those who were relying on snow cover, plant loss is possible.” Martens and Vetsch both agree with Berlin that it’s the temperatures near the soil surface that put plants at risk. Vetsch recalls that last year, from March 10 to 22, temperatures reached the mid-30s to mid-40s. That caused alfalfa to break dormancy. Then temperatures plummeted to 10 to 11 F. That damaged the new growth on the alfalfa, Vetsch said. “Generally if the soil temperature around the crown drops below 15 degrees, there can be damage to the alfalfa crown,” Martens said. “Under those conditions we could have concern for winter wheat and rye as well. Rye is more durable than winter wheat.” “The frost is down five inches from top and one inch at bottom,” Nancy Potter said of conditions in Long Prairie on March 14. “Only 34 inches to go.” Visit http://tinyurl.com/lgajfpc to monitor the Northwest River Forecast Center’s frost tube network.

Minnesota farmers divided on buffer strip legislation It just doesn’t have the legs to stand on.

tions, such as situations where a 50foot buffer would not protect or improve water quality. The draft states that landowners are not limited in their usage of these buffer strips which suggests they could be harvested as hay or grazed with livestock. DNR would be charged with establishing and maintaining county maps of all waters subject to buffer requirements; correcting violations; and withholding funds to soil and water conservation districts for failing to implement the requirements. Farmers on both sides Farmers are on both sides of the fence when it comes to buffer strips. Both the Minnesota Corn Growers Association and the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association are voicing concerns. So, too, the Minnesota Farm Bureau. In its March newsletter, the Minnesota Farmers Union stated it does not support buffer strips in a one-sizeSee BUFFER, pg. 14
<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>
Torkelson said 50-foot buffer strips on all waterways is too simple of a solution to a complicated problem. Torkelson also expressed doubts that the bill will get out of committee, noting that he was asked to introduce the proposal on behalf of Denny McNamara, R-Hastings, who chairs the House Environment and Natural Resources Policy and Finance Committee. “It just doesn’t have the legs to stand on,” said Torkelson. “We can’t expect land owners and farmers to be O.K. with this legislation unless there is combined assistance on the many issues that are part of water quality.” Meanwhile, in the Minnesota Sen-
ate, Senator John Marty, DFLRoseville, co-authored and introduced the senate bill, Senate File 1537, to the Environment and Energy Committee, which he chairs. The Committee passed the bill and referred it to the Jobs, Agriculture and Rural Development Committee. If the bills pass, land owners have until Sept. 1, 2016, to install 50-foot buffers of perennial vegetation along state waters that have flows during the majority of the growing season. Soil and Water Conservation Districts will implement the policy and provide assistance to landowners to install buffers. Cost-sharing provisions for the implementation of buffers is not yet determined. Existing law calls for one-rod (16.5 foot) wide buffers alongside all manmade drainage ditches, but this only applies to ditches dug after 1977 or on subsequent re-determinations of ditch cleanouts. In some cases, 50-foot buffers are already required. Enforcement is under criticism by Gov. Dayton. The legislation allows for exemp-
THE LAND, APRIL 3, 2015
By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Minnesota Gov. Dayton’s 50foot buffer strips proposal is now a state initiative and bipartisan legislation in both the House and Senate. As expected, the riparian buffer bills have picked up both advocates and adversaries. Dayton introduced his proposal for 50-foot buffer strips along the state’s streams, drainage ditches and rivers at the annual Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Roundtable. Taking the environmental and agriculture camps by surprise, he said the buffer strips would improve water quality and provide an estimated 125,000 acres of potential habitat cover. Minnesota State Representative Paul Torkelson, R-Hanska, is a farmer who co-authored and introduced the buffer bill, House File 1534, in its first House hearing on March 9. However Torkelson, according to an article from The Free Press of Mankato, Minn., doesn’t support the bill as proposed.

Conservationist: Farmers ready for ‘common sense language’ BUFFER, from pg. 13 fits-all manner. MFU passed a special order requesting the Legislature to direct a buffer issue study due back to the 2016 Legislature. In a press release from the Minnesota Corn Growers Association, Bruce Peterson, a Northfield-area Bruce Peterson farmer and president of MCGA, questioned if a political debate during the few weeks remaining of this 2015 legislative session can adequately address all the issues. “Therefore, we do not support the governor’s onesize fits-all proposal,” said Peterson. The press release stated that MCGA supports the use of buffers as one of several best management practices farmers use to protect water quality. “We also support existing buffer laws and their vigorous local enforcement, which allows farmers and local authorities to work together to seek water quality solutions that take into account the diversity of Minnesota’s farmland,” Peterson said in the press release. One reason water quality is a heated issue dates back to the Clean Water Act of 1972 which exempted agriculture. “The agricultural industry is the only industry that does not need to regulate its discharge water and therein lies much of the problems of today,” said longtime conservation advocate Tom Kalahar, Renville County Soil and Water Conservation District. “What’s needed is common sense language that is fair to land owners,” said Kalahar. “We have farmers lined up out the door to put buffers on their land. Farmers have been ready for this for years. It’s the

politicians and the — Tom Kalahar bureaucrats that can’t get it done because of their loyalty to ‘Big Ag.’” Kalahar talked with Renville County producers, including Swede Elfering and Myron Macik, about buffer strips. “Swede’s exact words to me: ‘It’s about time. We should have done this 20 years ago.’ Last year we had 26 applications totaling 177,000 linear feet of drainage ditch buffers that went unfunded,” said Kalahar. “This is not an issue that farmers won’t do,” he said. “They know the value of their land resources. They want to protect that resource. This is an issue the state commodity groups don’t want to do. Plus your talking heads of other farmer organizations including Farm Bureau don’t do.” According to a recent analysis from the Board of Water and Soil Resources, 64 percent of all waters in the southern and western regions of Minnesota are not subject to any buffer requirements under current law. Buffers serve a dual purpose. They “drink up” some of the pollutants such as nitrates from fertilizer that might wash off farm fields into waterways. They also help keep stream banks and riverbanks in place. After intense rains, sloughing of soils in sharp corners of waterways often happens with resulting build ups of soil in the basin bottoms. Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has created the Governor’s Buffer Initiative website. Visit www.dnr.state.mn.us/buffers/index.html to learn more about buffer strips. ❖

The following market analysis is for the week ending March 27. CORN — Corn benefited from a pre-U.S. Department of Agriculture report rally to close 6 cents higher for the week at $3.91 per bushel and 5 1⁄2 cents higher in the December contract at $4.14 3⁄4 per bushel. Grower selling was flat with any selling interest concentrated in old crop. Wet weather has slowed corn planting in the Delta and the South and along with it new crop sales have been PHYLLIS NYSTROM fairly stagnant. CHS Hedging Inc. The main event for the agriculSt. Paul tural commodities is the March 31 USDA reports that include the March 1 Grain Stocks and Prospective Planting report. The USDA does not release supply/demand balance sheets next week, saving that for the April 9 monthly crop report. The importance of the grain stocks is the implied feed usage. On the Dec. 1 report, the trade was disappointed when usage indicated a 4 percent decrease from a year earlier. Increasing animal numbers implies that second quarter feed usage will rise as a result. In five of the last seven years, there has been a tendency for March 1 corn stocks to be below pre-report traded projections. Safras raised their Brazilian corn production projection to 75.9 million metric tons from 74.7 mmt. Argentina’s corn harvest was estimated at 7.5 percent complete versus 10.2 percent complete last year. Weekly export sales were at the lower end of expec-
The livestock markets continue to amaze with their volatility and erratic tendencies. The past few months have seen just about everything there is to offer as far as price movement in trading livestock contracts. The thought at this point is that little is likely to change in the near future. The cattle market has proven to be the fast mover with erratic price movement since the November price high was established. This has been caused by what seems to be the struggle between a short supply of cattle and a JOE TEALE decreasing demand for beef. As Broker the beef cutout has fluctuated, so Great Plains Commodity has the sentiment toward the Afton, Minn. price direction, causing a very erratic price development in the live market and the futures. The U.S. Department of Agriculture released the Monthly Cattle on Feed Report on March 20. The results were as follows: on feed 99 percent, placements 92 percent, and marketed 98 percent. This report was seen as friendly as the placement number was a little less than expected and the marketing number was a little higher than anticipated by the trade. This continues to confirm that cattle numbers are tight, and this should continue to support the bulls approach towards higher prices. Because the futures continues to remain at a discount to the cash trade, one would suspect that this discount should narrow in the near term. This will test the demand side of the market as competitive meats continue to slump in price, making competitive meats more attractive at the retail
On March 31, the U.S. Department of Agriculture will publish the Prospective Plantings Report, which is a survey-based estimate of the number of acres expected to be planted of each crop. Preliminary estimates published by private analyst/consulting companies projected slight reductions in corn and wheat acres and a rather large increase in soybean acres. The USDA Outlook Conference held last month had much smaller changes in the corn and soybean acres, with estimates for 2015 at 83.5 million acres of soybeans and corn at 89 KURT LENSING million acres. AgStar Assistant VP and Industry Specialist The USDA Outlook Conference Waite Park, Minn. acre estimates are from economists on the USDA staff versus the farmer surveys used in the USDA’s March Prospective Planting Report. Private analysts expect corn acres dropping to 88 to 90 million acres, and soybeans acres increasing to 84 to 88 million acres. These 2015 acre estimates would have soybean acres at or near record highs and corn acres the lowest since 2010 when there were less than 90 million acres planted. Impact on ratios If South American soybean production is indeed 350 to 400 million bushels larger than last year’s record, and large increases of soybean acres are planted in the United States next year, the corn-tosoybean price ratio may be strained further. The soybean-to-corn price ratio has traded over 2.90 times the price of corn futures in 2013 and 2014 to as low as 1.90 times the price of corn in 2011. If

Late-week sell-off pushes soybeans into red NYSTROM, from pg. 15 tations at 17.1 million bushels. Total export commitments fell to 8 percent behind last year when the USDA is calling for 6 percent decline in sales year on year. Sales need to average 17.6 million bushels per week to hit the UDSA’s export forecast. We haven’t averaged sales over 16.7 million per week from this point through the end of the marketing in any of the last four years. Will exports see a cut on future balance sheets? Ethanol production last week was up 6,000 barrels per day to 953,000 barrels per day. Ethanol stocks were up 497,000 barrels to 21.32 million barrels. The hogs and pigs report as of March 1 indicated all hogs and pigs at 107.2 percent of a year ago, kept for breeding at 102.2 percent and kept for marketing at 107.7 percent. It was mixed report with all hogs and pigs slightly higher than estimates, the breeding number was lower than expectations and marketings slightly higher. OUTLOOK: The average trade guesses for the March 31 USDA reports are as follows: March 1 corn stocks at 7.609 billion bushels, range 7.459-7.8 billion bushels, and compared to last year’s stocks at 7.008 billion bushels; prospective corn planting at 88.731 million acres, range 87-89.7 million acres,
and 90.597 million acres last year. I would expect the stocks report to carry more overall weight for direction as it will come down to yields as the biggest influence on the new crop size. The USDA extended the deadline to sign up for either the Agricultural Risk Coverage or the Price Loss Coverage until April 7. Technically, corn established a key reversal lower on March 26, breaking a four-day streak of high closes. The reversal lower could be extended if the USDA doesn’t provide a reason to test $4 again. Grain markets will be closed April 3 for Good Friday. SOYBEANS — A late week sell-off pushed soybeans into the red after an uneventful news week. May soybeans finished the week 6 1⁄2 cents lower at $9.67 1⁄4 per bushel and the November contract dropped 7 1⁄2 cents to $9.48 3⁄4 per bushel. Brazilian truckers met with the government this week with little information coming from the meeting. Is no news, good news? There was chatter that if the government did not make concessions or step in to promote minimum freight rates, independent trucks would go on strike April 23. With Brazilian soybean harvest over 70 percent complete, the window for affecting harvest logistics is shrinking weekly. How this would affect switching soybean cargoes from Brazil to the United States would depend on how quickly China needs the soybeans they have bought from Brazil. AgroConsult upped their Brazilian bean production forecast to 95.8 mmt from 94.7 mmt. USDA’s last figure for Brazil was 94.5 mmt. Argentina is scheduled for a one-day transportation strike on March 31, but is not expected to have an impact on exports with their bean harvest only around five percent complete. Argentina’s early bean yields have been reported at 59-67 bushels per acre versus 53.5 bu./acre last year. Soybean weekly export sales were the best in six

Hog market more steady-as-she-goes TEALE, from pg. 15 level. This could restrict how high the cattle prices can go before meeting resistance from the prospective buyers at all levels. Thus far little has changed in the overall market conditions; therefore look for a continuation of sharp and erratic moves in cattle prices in the weeks ahead. The hog market has been the more steady-as-shegoes market. That steadiness has been in the form of a decline in price for weeks on end, and shows little sign of ending. Once again, like the cattle, this is classic supply versus demand. However, in this instance in the hog market, it is the big supply versus a moderate demand. The strong U.S. dollar has slowed export business which has obviously hurt demand for pork in an increasing supply of product. There may be a light at the end of this tunnel, however, as it appears that a possible top has come to the U.S. dollar in the middle of March. Expectations for the USDA All Hogs and Pigs Report on March 27 are for an increase in the hog herd, which if true will cast a further negative tone to the hog market. With the hog futures market very oversold and discount the lean index, a short covering rally might occur as we approach the Quarterly Hogs and Pigs Report. Nevertheless, producers should continue to approach the market with caution and protect inventories as needed. ❖
weeks at 18.6 million bushels and brought total commitments to nine percent ahead of last year at 1.781 billion bushels. The USDA’s last estimates pegged exports to be up 8.6 percent year on year. We only need 2.5 million bushels per week to hit the USDA’s target. New crop sales were 8.1 million bushels. New crop sales are running less than half of last year. OUTLOOK: Soybeans faded this week in preparation for the USDA reports as they closed lower for four consecutive sessions heading into the weekend. Soybean acreage is expected to jump from last year and basis levels were firmer as farmer selling dried up in the interior and crush margins over 75 cents per bushel on the board and 80-95 cents per bushel on the cash side, depending on location. If the USDA reports don’t provide the fodder for a higher market, the next support level for May soybeans is closer to $9.50 per bushel. The average trade forecasts for the March 31 USDA reports: March 1 soybean stocks at 1.346 billion bushels, range 1.273-1.404 billion bushels and compared to last year’s 994 million bushels; prospective planting at 85.919 million acres, range 83.1-88 million acres, and 83.701 million planted acres in 2014. In five of the last seven years, March 1 stocks have come in above trade forecasts. In five of the last six years, prospective plantings have come in less than expected. Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending March 27: Chicago wheat fell 22 1⁄4 cents, Minneapolis dropped 14 1⁄2 cents and Kansas City was 16 1⁄2 cents lower. Wheat losses came at the hands of better crop conditions as of March 22 and scattered rains in the Plains. May crude oil rallied $2.30 to $48.87 per barrel, ultra-low-sulfur diesel and reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending were essentially unchanged, and natural gas slipped 19 1⁄2 cents lower. ❖
Grain producers to feel pressure LENSING, from pg. 15 we see over 84 million acres of soybeans planted along with less than 90 million acres of corn, it will be a five-year low on corn acres and record number of soybean acres. Commodity marketing and risk management is and will be as important as ever this year. There’s little doubt about it — grain producers are going to feel the pressure. Now is the time to position your operation for a compressed margin environment. In addition to managing risk and margins, taking a close look at expenses including family living expenses, along with building adequate working
capital and liquidity will be critical for success. It will be interesting to see if we actually see a significant drop in planted acres in 2015, especially since Conservation Reserve Program acres look to be decreasing by 2.5 million acres from 2014 to the 2015 growing season.

wise specified. The average price for diesel fuel was assumed to be $2.94 per gallon. A fuel price increase of 50 cents per gallon would cause most custom rates to increase by approximately 5 percent. These average rates are only meant to be a guide for custom rates, as actual custom rates charged may vary depending on continued increase in fuel costs, availability of custom operators, timeliness, field size, etc. Custom farming agreements An alternative to leasing farmland is a Custom Farming Agreement. In a typical Custom Farming Agreement, the custom operator agrees to perform all the machine operations on the owner’s land in exchange for a set fee or rate. (Note: Average Custom Farming Rates for 2015 are listed in the 2015 Custom Rate Survey Table on Page 19.) The landowner pays for all seed, fertilizer, chemicals, crop insurance, and other input costs; receives all grain produced, as well as all eligible farm program payments on the land; and is responsible to store and market the grain. One obvious advantage to the custom operator is that a Custom Farming Agreement provides some extra farm income, with little or no additional operating capital or farm machinery investment. Fuel, lubrication, and repairs are usually the only added costs. In addition, custom farming offers a fixed return per acre to the custom operator, and although there is some possibility of higher repair bills, this is minor compared with the price and yield risks typically faced by a farm operator in a normal cash rental contract. Of course, in a good year, profits from a Custom Farming Agreement will be lower than under most cash rental leases; however, in this era of much higher land rental rates there is much more risk to the farm operator with a cash lease, as compared to a custom agreement with a landowner. Landowners also find several advantages to a Custom Farming Agreement. Landowners with small acreages can make most of the crop production and grain marketing decisions without the investment into a full-line of farm machinery. The landowner does not have to negotiate land rental rates, or worry about collecting lease payments, since the owner See THIESSE, pg. 20

Typically, these agreed upon practices are part of the per acre custom farming payment that is negotiated between the custom operator and the farm owner. • Additional tillage trips or replanting due to weather conditions, or added spraying applications of pesticides to control weeds, insects or diseases, which are provided by the custom operator, are usually charged to the landowner at a custom rate per acre, which is over and above the base custom farming rate. • Timing of planting and harvesting operations should be discussed and negotiated between the custom operator and the landowner prior to the growing season, and possibly be included in the written contract. This can become a tenuous issue, especially in years with challenging weather conditions. • The custom operator may be asked for advice by landowner regarding the seed corn hybrid or soybean variety to plant, fertilizer rates, chemical applications, levels of crop insurance, farm
program sign-up choice, or grain marketing decisions. However, the final decisions on these type of items lie with the farm owner/operator, and the custom operator needs to be careful not to take responsibility for the final authority on those decisions. • Typically, the harvested grain of the landowner is delivered by the custom operator to a farm storage facility that is owned or rented by the landowner, or to an agreed upon area grain elevator, as part of the Custom Farming Agreement. Any grain deliveries beyond the local area usually result in the landowner paying an extra custom rate charge for grain hauling. Also, if the landowner uses the custom operators grain drying and handling facilities, there is typically an added charge for these services.

2015 Prospective Plantings The annual Prospective Plantings report published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service is based on the voluntary responses from nearly 2,000 Minnesota producers. This report provides an indication of the acres farmers intend to plant in the 2015 crop year. Actual plantings will depend upon weather, economic conditions and the availability of production inputs at the time producers must make their final planting decisions. Minnesota farmers intend to plant 8.5 million acres of corn for all purposes in 2015, 300,000 acres more than last year’s actual planted acres. If realized, this would be the third largest

Midwest cheese manufacturers are maintaining busy schedules to accommodate increasing volumes of milk, according to Dairy Market News. This may sound like repetition of recent weeks, but this week’s conditions continue to repeat the recent past. Curiously, the sameness of conditions for several weeks is causing some nervousness, precisely because extended general equilibrium conditions seem aberrant. Nevertheless, significant volumes of milk are being trucked from dairy farms and cheese continues to be a profitable outlet among dairy processing options. Domestic cheese demand in the United States is still strong both in the
retail and foodservice segments. Some Midwest cheese manufacturers note that cheese orders are up and inventories are decreasing. Buyers and sellers each seem comfortable with inventory levels. Western output is steady to higher on a week-to-week basis. The impact of seasonally increasing milk supplies and offers of surplus milk are keeping as much milk into cheese making as desired. In addition, nonfat dry milk and condensed skim are available and affordable to fortify/standardize cheese vats.

New Zealand’s entry is really “late in coming,” he said, and you have to look at the product mix.

NDPSR powder averaged $1.0085, down 6.3 cents, and dry whey averaged 46.68 cents per pound, down 0.9 cent. Nonfat dry milk prices are lower in all regions on a weak to flat market, says Dairy Market News. Many buyers are maintaining a cautious buying approach due to perceived market uncertainty as much of the country moves toward the flush of milk production. ■ The USDA’s National Milk Cost of Production report, issued Thursday, shows January total costs were down significantly from December 2014 and from January 2014. Total feed costs averaged $11.45 per hundredweight, down $1.34 from December, $1.66 below November, and $1.81 below January 2014. Purchased feed costs, at $6.08/cwt., were down $1.09 from December, $1.23 below November, and $1.32 below January 2014. Total costs, including feed, bedding, marketing, fuel, repairs, hired labor, taxes, etc., at $22.87/cwt., were down $1.57 from December, $2.09 below November, and $2.02 below a year ago. Feed costs made up 50 percent of total costs in January, compared to 52.3 percent the month before and 53.3 percent a year ago. ■

MIELKE, from pg. 23 increase consumer food prices while driving smaller farms out of business, according to Vermont dairy farmer Joanna Lidback, who said that the use of GMO crops is important to her farm’s economic sustainability. In testimony presented March 24 before the House Agriculture Committee, Lidback, who farms in Westmore, Vermont, with her husband and two sons, said that building an economically viable small family business has led them to “fully embrace using technology to farm better and with less impact on our surroundings,” and part of that entails using GMO seed varieties that grow best in New England. “We would want the choice of the best seed regardless of breeding technology; genetic engineering offers the best options,” she said, explaining that their 200 acre farm in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom has a shorter growing season that limits the variety of crops they can grow. If marketplace demands were to force them to use non-GMO feed grains, most of which would be certified organic, the farm’s feed bill would more than double each month, from $5,328 to $12,000. “I do not see how we could profitably farm in the long term with those increased feed costs,” Lidback said. “I also believe that biotechnology enables us to lessen the environmental impact that growing can have because less fertilizer and pesticides are used to grow an abundant crop.” Lidback testified on behalf of Agri-Mark Dairy Coop-

hen Ed Krugmire opens the gates to start the underwater turbines that drive the grain milling process, the hydraulic force is awesome. “There are thousands of gallons of water racing through every minute,” said Krugmire, whose family has owned Schech’s Mill near Caledonia, Minn., for about 130 years. Krugmire said he believes Schech’s Mill is the oldest waterpowered grain mill in Minnesota that is operating with its original equipment. He did some maintenance on the mill’s turbines not long ago. “The new turbine was installed in 1924,” he said proudly. The other two turbines were installed in 1876, when the mill was built. Krugmire’s family, on his mother’s side, bought the mill a few years later. The original underwater bearings on the 1876 turbine are still in place. “Those self-lubricating bearings are made from a dense South American wood that doesn’t float,” he said. The turbines turn the huge stones that grind wheat, corn, buckwheat, and hulless oats into flour. Schech’s Mill has always had a commercial function for the family. However flour production halted temporarily in the 1940s. “They ground livestock feed at that time,” Krugmire said. In the 1970s, the family started giving mill tours. Visitors that take tours can watch the flour-making process at a water-powered mill from grain elevator to mill wheel to bag. Krugmire even shows them how flour is sifted and screened. “You can sift it down through finer screens so it is almost a white flour,” he said, “but the whole wheat is more nutritious.” Visitors get to watch Krugmire make corn meal as the water rushes through the turbines as well.
“Where Farm and Family Meet”
Schech’s Mill, Caledonia, Minn. “Everybody leaves with a bag of flour or corn meal,” he said. “They can also buy flour bags from the ’30s and ’40s. Some of those had elaborate designs and people collect them.” There are also old photos to look at and old milling and farming equipment. Krugmire even has a water-powered corn sheller that he demonstrates. “People are free to look around,” he said. “They can also have a picnic along the mill stream and go trout fishing if they want. It’s a great family outing and it’s near Beaver Creek State Park.” Tours of Schech’s Mill are available Friday through Sunday from May until October. The cost for adults is $5, and $1 for children.
