...keeps the beef cattle fed By TIM KING The Land Correspondent STAPLES, Minn. — Steve “Gilby” Gilbertson fed his last apples to feeder calves in early April. “I ran out. I don’t have any more,” he said. Gilbertson operates a 200-acre beef ranch and apple orchard south of Staples. The orchard has some 2,000 trees and the apples that aren’t sold for wholesale purposes are cut up, sun-dried, and stored in large coolers to feed to feeder calves. “I wean them and keep them for another month and then I sell them as 550- to 600-pound feeders,” he said. “I don’t give them too much. Just enough to give them the extra sugar they need.” Gilbertsons’ black baldy and black Angus calves don’t get any grain. “We don’t have any grain on the farm,”
he said. “They get what we have — apples and hay.” The calves relish the apples and are healthy and grow rapidly so Gilbertson isn’t overly concerned that there isn’t much information available on the nutritional value of apples for them. “I called the University of Minnesota a couple of times but they didn’t have anybody that could help me with this,” he said. “What I found out is that an apple has about 100 calories per apple. Basically they are getting sugar. I saw some studies from a while back and they fed some heifers and apples came up fairly identical to corn. If you have extra apples you can replace corn.” Gilbertson’s conclusions mirror those of a study done with lactating dairy cows in India. In that study Indian researchers replaced a third of the corn ration with apple pomace. Pomace is what’s left after apple juice is
(with hay)
made. Overall production, as well as milk fat, was the same with cows on the apple-corn ration as it was on the straight corn ration. Another study, done at Michigan State University, fed pomace to beef cattle and analyzed its nutrient value. The study found that total digestible nutrients for apples was 69.7, for pomace it was 63.4, corn silage was 72.0, and corn was 90.0. Fat was somewhat higher in the corn and silage than in the apple products. The Michigan study speculated that too many apples could damage an animal’s rumen but the researchers appear not to have pursued that issue. When a visitor sees a dozen of Gilbertson’s bred cows come thundering up at high speed to get some fresh apple treats, it is apparent that they haven’t pursued the matter either. See APPLES, pg. 8A

OPINION
Commentary: Mandatory 50-foot buffers won’t improve water quality Minnesota farmers and rural residents should be very upset with Gov. Mark Dayton’s “50-foot buffer strip” policy initiative. The proposed law would force farmers to take 50 feet of land out of production along the back slope of agricultural drainage ditches. Fifty feet doesn’t sound like much but it could equate to 5-10 percent of the acres in many fields. The proposed law started out as a way to increase pheasant habitat, but shifted to arguing that water quality would benefit, when it was clear that forcing farmers to provide habitat for pheasant hunters wouldn’t fly. Dayton accused farmers of creating “cesspools.” Nothing could be farther from the truth and the Governor should apologize for this statement. Much research done in Minnesota shows that water from

The impact of modern agriculture on water quality can best be demonstrated with a few historical comparative examples. One is from a 2002 Minnesota Pollution Control Agency report of historical lake phosphorus levels. The phosphorus concentration of lakes is a standard indicator of water quality. Lower levels indicate less nutrient enrichment. The MPCA identified lakes across Minnesota that could be used as “background” indicator lakes.

GUEBERT, from pg. 4A That means May is upon us and soon, too, will be warm June and heat-soaked The cool weather encouraged our July. Until then, I’ll be on the porch many flowering trees to remain in bloom for what has to be a record three weeks. Even today watching this almost eternal spring slip its perfect coolness and lingering color because, Lord knows, I the crabapples continue to be fluffy pink, red and cream-colored bows that tie the blue sky to surrounding carpets of ivy and grass. In the front of the house, a tidy line of four apple trees stands just in front of an untidy line of uncountable redbud trees. Both have held the edge of a nearby woods in pink and white gloves since Easter, an astonishingly long time. In fact, I cannot ever recall seeing apple trees and redbud trees in bloom for weeks and weeks. Each time I pass the colorful line on my way to the toolshed I think that same thought. Then, each time I walk from the toolshed back past the line, I think: You will never see this again. Indeed, last Saturday, while on another slow trip to the shed, I got lost in the color of the trees and stopped to stare at the soft, lovely haze. How long I stood there I can’t say. I can say, however, that afterwards I wondered if anyone had seen me. The maple trees and morels have been delayed by the delayed spring. Both need warmer nights, I reckon, before either will risk a daylight appearance. That’s two good reasons to look forward to a renewed run at warmth. The farmers, too, slowed corn planting a couple of days after Mother Nature slowed spring. Oh, they flew at their big task the same week I planted my tomatoes but they, like me, knew it was plenty early to go full throttle. Several days at idle, including another slow Saturday filled with cold drizzle, restored their zeal, though, and earlier this week all attacked again. Officially, government bean counters claim corn planting is but 38 percent complete. An unofficial windshield report puts it closer to completely complete.

Low-lignin alfalfa stretches days between cuttings By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Lignin, the complex organic compound that binds to cellulose fiber and hardens and strengthens the cell walls of plants, increases yields but makes alfalfa and other forage grass difficult for livestock to digest. Alforex Seeds’ solution is Hi-Gest Alfalfa with reduced lignin and improved fiber digestibility. Alforex Seeds introduced a dormant and semi-dormant variety in October

To minimize this mated to have a seven to 10 percent yield-versus-quality dilemma, produc- lignin reduction depending on harvest maturity stage and management practices. According to University of Wisconsin data, increasing neutral detergent fiber digestibility by one percent will increase relative forage quality 2-3 percent, increase milk per ton by 21 pounds and increase milk per acre by 167 pounds. Additionally, the study shows that a one percent increase in forage NDFD yields a 0.4 increase in dry matter intake and a 0.51-pound increase in milk yield. Low lignin technology benefits producers in that they do not need to adjust harvesting or feeding practices. “They can produce dairy quality hay at their normal 28-day cutting schedules, or choose to increase yield out to 35-days cuttings without sacrificing quality,” he said. Enchanted Dairy Ron Miller, of Enchanted Dairy, Little Falls, Minn., is interested in low-lignin alfalfa for his 1,800-cow dairy farm. “We can’t do a four-cut harvest very well because of timing. We’d like to stay in our current three-cut system but increase our quality comparable to that of a four-cut system,” said Miller. Extending the period in between cuttings without any sacrifice in quality, which low-lignin alfalfas apparently can provide, appeals to his business strategy.

It seems we’re always crowded in our work schedules. So if we can get into a 35-day cutting schedule, that simply works better in our total operation.
— Ron Miller “We don’t like cutting every 28 days. It seems we’re always crowded in our work schedules. So if we can get into a 35-day cutting schedule, that simply works better in our total operation,” said Miller. He’s looking forward to switching all their alfalfa stands to low-lignin as the seed becomes available. A four-year duration of alfalfa seedings is the norm at Enchanted Dairy. “If we let it go five years the stand quality is down as is the productivity,” said Miller. “Four years allows us to get manure back on those fields and rebuild their nutrient levels. You go too long and you’re holding back other acres that really should be back into alfalfa.” Forage grasses Forage grasses are increasing in popularity — both in mixing in with alfalfa or growing straight forage grasses. “Better feed value, increased palatability, more variety for the animals which in turn promotes better health and more longevity in your livestock are reasons farmers share with me,” Fabel said.

Nutritional value and longevity is what continues to keep alfalfa the queen of forages, said Fabel. As more producers get concerned about soil health, deep-rooted alfalfa is building soil nitrogen levels while improving soil texture. Cover crops are also working their way into Alforex products. “Cover crops can be used for fall and spring forage after harvest of a wheat crop.

Gilbertson: ‘They fatten, marble with apples really nicely’ APPLES, from pg. 1A “Once I sell the feeders I feed what ever is left to the bred cows,” he said.“They eat them out of my hands or out of the feeder or however they can get them from me. They come running up to me to get their apples and even the wild ones get tamer with an apple. They all get them either chopped or sliced. You can’t risk one of them choking on a whole apple.” Gilbertson invented a machine to slice whole apples. It operates on a one horsepower electric motor and consists of a chute leading to 18 table saw blades mounted on a shaft. Once the blades are spinning he dumps buckets of apples into the machine and the slices fall into a bin. He can feed the
sliced apples directly, or sun and airdry them before putting them in large apple storage coolers for later use. “I used to finish steers on the applehay ration but with the price of feeders I’d rather sell them,” he said. “They finish out nice on the apples but carrying them over for the extra year or more doesn’t make sense.” Low capital Gilbertson likes his location for raising and marketing beef cattle. He is centrally located between sales barns in Motley, Pierz and Long Prairie. “If I have a cow I need to cull I can take her a few miles to Long Prairie Packing and get a good price for her,” he said.

Thank You Leslie and all who returned your 2015 Subscriber Cards!
I used to finish steers on the apple-hay ration but with the price of feeders I’d rather sell them.
— Steve Gilbertson low-rust style of farming. His rust prevention program involves not owning tillage equipment or grain planting and harvesting equipment. “All we have is equipment for haying and a no-till drill,” he said. “With the notill drill we don’t have to plow. Normally, I seed a pasture mix that has orchard grass, timothy, brome, alfalfa and clover. I rotate the cows over our 200-acre farm from field to field and we also cut hay off the fields. Every year we leave one field of 10 to 20 acres fallow and let it grow. At the end of the season I’ll put the cat-
tle on that. They don’t really care for it that much, but it gives the soil extra organic matter on top and in the roots.” In the dozen years Gilbertson has been on the farm all of the fields have been converted to hay and grass. “I left the city and a job in computers when I was 40,” he said. “I really didn’t know much about plowing or managing grain crops but haying isn’t that hard. Besides, I didn’t want to tie up a lot of money in equipment and be equipment poor. This is a good way for the average person to get into farming without debt. Go out and buy some land and fund your own growth.” Gilbertson fully expects the price for feeders to drop in the not too distant future. When it does he’ll go back to finishing steers on apples. “I’ll get my premium by selling grass-fed and apple-finished beef directly to consumers,” he said. “They fatten and marble with apples really nicely. They just go wild for apples.” ❖

Tauer rejected utility offer; ‘I’m a little stubborn’ BUY THE FARM, from pg. 9A “In the end,” said Carlsgaard, “the Supreme Court came down with that decision. We respect that decision. We will work to come up with a settlement with the Tauers.” Eminent domain In November 2012, CapX2020 utility companies condemned the 8.86-acre easement and then took an additional 3.38 acres for an access easement, according to supreme court records. That’s roughly 12 acres altogether. While the matter is being settled in court, the power company, under quick take rules, can install power lines after 90 days. Two high voltage power poles were installed on the Tauer property in 2013. A third power pole was constructed on the corner of the plot, said Tauer. Utility companies have the power of eminent domain to take private properties for public use. Landowner’s rights are protected in the 5th Amendment by the clause: “nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” In Minnesota, landowners also have the Buy the Farm law. Buy the Farm was passed in 1977 by the Minnesota Legislature after farmer protests over a high-voltage power line from North Dakota to the Twin Cities. The law gives landowners the rights to make utility companies buy the entire piece of property. Dale and Janet Tauer were first contacted in June 2012 by a CapX2020 representative with the easement request. Tauer wanted it in writing that he could farm the easement and build and repair tile without permission from the power company. “I really wanted a few changes made in the language of the easement,” said Tauer. “They weren’t
You still own the property. The contract states that you can do anything in that easement as long as you don’t damage the pole.
— Tim Carlsgaard willing to do that.” Carlsgaard said that CapX2020 has no record that Tauer asked for that language. He said the structures consist of one pole on a cement foundation so farmers can farm right up to the structure. “You still own the property,” said Carlsgaard. “The contract states that you can do anything in that easement as long as you don’t damage the pole.” The CapX2020 appraisal value of the easement was $30,100, Carlsgaard said. Negotiations began at $4,000 per acre. Tauer rejected the final, best offer of $56,000, which averaged about $6,300 an acre. Adjacent land was $12,400 per acre at that time and Tauer said his land would have appraised for over $10,000 an acre. That’s one reason he elected Buy the Farm. “They felt ‘buy the farm’ meant buy the 10 acres,” said Tauer. “I’m a little stubborn.” Tauer was renting out the Redwood County field in 2012 and then his son began farming the field in 2013. “If he did not want to live next to the power line, I understand it,” said Carlsgaard. “But he didn’t live
next to the power line. We should be clear about that. We went through the scrubland.” Tauer exercised his right to take the money and buy a different parcel of farmland without the complications. In Jackson County, Tauer has farmland with power poles erected by enXco, now called EDF Renewable Energy based in California. Complications from power poles on that property cost him $23,000 in tile repairs. CapX2020 While the CapX project is winding down, the need for power and infrastructure will continue. Since 2009, CapX2020 utility partners have been constructing transmission lines that cover 800 miles and cost an estimated $2 billion, according to its website. The vast majority of easements have been purchased. CapX has dealt with about 2,000 landowners and only 100 have made Buy the Farm elections, said Carlsgaard. Of those 100, the majority have been single family homes with one or two acres who did not want a structure in the backyard, he said. Of the remaining 1,900 properties, he said most were farming and livestock operations. Carlsgaard said that CapX staff were dedicated to satisfying landowners in the field during the construction phase — repairing broken tiles and paying crop damages for up to three years. They purchased 7,000 mats to drive on to alleviate soil compaction. “These guys have worked really hard to make sure that landowners and farmers are happy after they worked on the project,” Carlsgaard said. ❖

The following market analysis is for the week ending May 1. CORN — Corn extended last week’s losses as planters rolled across the Midwest, bird flu continued to spread, and directional traders increased their net short position. Producers pushed to plant ahead of forecasted rain for the coming week. Country selling remains light at current prices, keeping basis levels firm. Weakness was felt across the agricultural sector despite the U.S. dollar index retreating in seven out of the last eight trading sessions. The Federal Reserve is indicating there is no pressing reason to PHYLLIS NYSTROM increase interest rates quickly, CHS Hedging Inc. but left the possibility that an St. Paul increase could still occur in June. The popular opinion is that rates may not rise until later this year. The U.S. Gross Domestic Product growth in the first quarter was only 0.2 when a 1.0 increase was anticipated. The July corn contract dropped 6 3⁄4 cents to close the week at $3.63 and the December contract was 8 cents lower at $3.80 1⁄4 per bushel. July corn dipped to its lowest level since last October. Weekly export sales were larger than expected at 32.8 million bushels and 4.4 million bushels for new crop. We need to average 15.2 million bushels of sales per week to hit the U.S. Department of Agriculture 1.8 billion bushel export forecast. Last year from this date forward, we averaged 9.2 million bushels of weekly sales. Weekly ethanol production was down 9,000 barrels per day at 921,000 barrels per day. Ethanol stocks were down 545,000 barrels to 20.8 million barrels. The Buenos Aires Grain Exchange updated their Argentine
The month of May has brought an increased movement in product for both beef and pork. Not only is grilling season moving into full swing but the bird flu is reducing the poultry population at the same time. There has been a distinct increase in retail interest in accumulating inventory of pork and beef, but whether this improved interest holds is yet to be determined. The cattle market has seen basically the cash price paid for cattle remain fairly constant, while the beef cutout has slipped slightly over the past few weeks. It appears the main reason for the slight decline in the beef cutout is the fact that the inventory over the JOE TEALE past few months of beef in storage Broker has grown and packers want to Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. move this excess inventory. All of this, with continued tight supplies of live cattle, has kept the live price paid for animals steady with a firm undertone. On the other hand, the futures market is anticipating that the cattle market will remain on a slow descent in price into the summer and fall months. This continues to leave the disparity of futures well-discounted to the cash price paid for cattle. The caveat still remains the large disparity between the pork cutout and the beef cutout, which makes the pork a much better value than beef at the wholesale and retail level. Obviously this is dependent on the consumer in the final sale. Therefore, the producer should continue to monitor market conditions and remain cognizant that discount in the futures are there for a reason, and protect inventories as warranted. It finally appears that the hog market has established its typical spring low with the continuation of the recent rallies. While interest in pork remains

In 2014 revenue protection crop insurance prices were projected at $4.62; however the harvest price of corn was $3.49 for this insurance policy. That meant large losses assumed by some states; Minnesota had the largest loss ratio at 3.01, according to the University of Illinois. This means that for every dollar of insurance premium paid in Minnesota there was 3.01 times that amount paid to the farmer for losses caused by lower prices or yields. The report goes on to show that Iowa, too, had high loss ratios at 2.21 for corn insurance policies. Many states such as Illinois, KURT LENSING Indiana and Ohio had record or AgStar Assistant VP near-record yields resulting in and Industry Specialist Waite Park, Minn. little no losses on insurance policies. In general, nationwide payouts on soybeans were 0.54, so the payments made to farmers was about half of the total premium. Corn loss ratios on 69.9 million acres insured were 1.04 nationwide which is essentially the goal, to keep loss ratios at the premium amount. The accompanying table shows how the revenue insurance loss ratios were paid out by state. After taking a look at the chart it’s evident that crop insurance continues to play an important role in farm safety nets. With volatility in prices, and unpredictable weather resulting in variable yields, crop insurance will continue to be at the foundation of farmers’ risk management plans. Given its important role, it is likely that attempts to make changes to the Federal crop insurance program will continue. Be sure to contact your elected officials and share your story about the importance of crop insurance as these proposals surface. Also, See LENSING, pg. 16A

Chinese bean acres expected to fall 10-15 percent NYSTROM, from pg. 15A corn production from 23 million metric tons to 25 mmt. The USDA is at 24 mmt. Confirmed avian bird flu cases continue to grow with the first case in a broiler operation reported in Iowa. Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin have all declared a state of emergency. If the bird flu hit your operation, it is devastating; however, the overall effect so far to meal and corn demand has been minimal. But perception is reality, and the perception is that feed demand will suffer. Warmer weather should help curb the outbreaks, but it is “highly probable” it will return when temperatures cool in the fall, according to reports. The $84.2 million in Animal Plant Health Inspection Service funds for bird flu are reportedly nearly depleted. Ag Secretary Vilsack is asking for more funding to come from the Commodity Credit Corporation as we head for the largest death toll due to bird flu in U.S. history. Iowa is the nation’s largest egg producing state and Minnesota is the nation’s largest turkey producer. Corn was 19 percent planted as of April 26, lagging the 25 percent average for that date. For the week ending May 3, corn planting is estimated anywhere from 40 percent to 55 percent complete with emergence around 10 percent. The five-year average is 38 percent complete by May 3 and the 20-year average is 43 percent complete. The five-year average planting progress for May 10 is 58 percent. Forecasted rain in the western Corn Belt will be welcome with most of the area showing at least some level of drought. South Dakota had the driest January-March since record keeping began in 1895.

U.S. production in both corn and soybeans, so keep an eye on rainfall as we move into emergence. OUTLOOK: On a seasonal basis since 2011, December corn’s direction has been widely varied. In both 2013 and 2014, the sell-off began in early May and ended in September in 2014, but lasted until the end of November in 2013. In 2012, it rallied from midJune until mid-August before it fell. In 2011, the rally began in earnest in July and lasted until late August, before tumbling into harvest. Weather has been the driver in the past, and this year isn’t expected to be any different. Current forecasts for the Corn Belt look conducive to the crop getting off to a very good start, with the welcome rains predicted in the western Corn Belt and drier weather in the eastern Corn Belt. The May 12 USDA monthly crop report will include our first look at the 2015-16 balance sheets. July corn’s first level of support is $3.53 per bushel with first resistance at $3.70 per bushel. The trend is lower and any weather inspired rallies may be viewed as selling opportunities in both old and new crop. SOYBEANS — Soybeans posted weekly losses with the July contract falling 6 cents to $9.64 3⁄4 and the November contract tumbling 11 3⁄4 cents to $9.40 3⁄4 per bushel. Record Argentine crop estimates continued to climb. The Buenos Aires Grain Exchange bumped its soybean production from 58.5 mmt to 60 mmt. The USDA is carrying them at 57 mmt. Argentina’s soybean harvest was pegged at 60 percent complete, just two percent behind the average. Their corn harvest had reached 32 percent complete by week’s end compared to 47 percent on average.

could take some of the premium out of the futures prices. As long as demand remains firm and hog numbers do not increase substantially, the hog market could likely remain relatively firm into the summer months. The futures market could become a little more erratic until the premium to cash has narrowed into the May contract expiration. This would suggest that producers stay very aware of market signals and protect inventories as needed. ❖
Brazilian farmers were sellers early in the week, bringing their total sales to 61 percent of the crop compared to 69 percent sold last year at this time. Weekly export sales were within estimates at 15.9 million bushels for old crop with 4.4 million bushels of net cancellations for new crop. It looked like a couple of vessels were rolled back from new crop to old crop by China. Total soybean commitments are now above the 1.79 billion bushels USDA export projection. The five-year average rollover of soybeans into new crop is about 60 million bushels, suggesting we still need to average 2.0 million bushels of sales per week to actually hit the target. China’s soybean acreage this year is expected to fall 10-15 percent from last year. The government there is paying a $54 per acre subsidy to plant soybeans in certain regions, but even that does not make planting soybeans the most profitable crop. The Argentine government will meet with striking boat captains, and possibly docking and loading workers, on May 4. The strike began April 28 and closed the Rosario port. There were rumors the Argentine government had ordered striking unions back to work, but there were also rumors that other unions (stevedores and crush workers) would join the strike if no agreement is reached. Talk also circulated the strike had been settled. Many traders are expecting the strike will be resolved soon. In Brazil, the truckers strike has had minimal impact on grain movement. U.S. soybean planting was two percent complete as of April 26, only slightly behind the 4 percent average. This week’s expectations are for 7-9 percent complete as of May 3, slightly less than the five-year average of 11 percent and the 20-year average of 10 percent complete. OUTLOOK: On the weekly chart, July soybeans posted a key reversal lower. This suggests further weakness to come. First support in the July contract comes at $9.50, then $9.35 1⁄4; with resistance at $9.95 to $10.00 per bushel. The volatility in Argentina and the possibility of switching sales back to the United States sides with the bulls; however, with favorable weather and rapid planting, the trend may favor the bears. With the two sides trying to find a balance, the $9.50 to $10.00 range may stay with us for awhile longer. ❖

farm business that are using management, rather than labor, as their qualifying criteria for farm program payment eligibility. The proposed rule defines “active personal management” as “those items critical to the profitability of the farming operation.” It would divide the management activities into separate categories for farm capital, labor, and agronomics, and marketing. To qualify, a person must perform these management duties on a regular and consistent basis, which is defined as either 25 percent of total management hours required by the farm operation, or at least 500 hours of management annually. These requirements are not intended to apply to the first, or primary, farm manager in a farming operation. Following are the new definitions for the management activities listed under active personal management: • Capital, land and safety-net programs — responsible to arrange financing, manage capital, acquire equipment, negotiate land purchases and leases, and manage crop insurance or USDA farm program decisions. • Labor — Hire and manage farm labor. • Agronomics and marketing — Decide which crops to plant, purchase crop inputs, manage growing crops, and market crops in cash or futures markets.

This definition is intended to apply to non-family members of a broadly by the USDA, which has allowed a large number of extra individuals to qualify for farm program payments. The controversy since the beginning of the current actively engaged requirement, which still continues with the current farm bill, has been that passive investors in farm operations that invest in land or capital have been able to qualify for farm program payments, due to claims of providing regular management to a farm operation. By using this definition of the rule, farms that are organized as general partnerships or joint ventures have been able to increase total government payments to a farm entity by having more than one individual in the entity qualified for farm program payments. Some of these entities have 10 or more individuals that qualify for farm program payments. There are many legitimate general farm partnerships and joint ventures, where multiple individuals deserve to qualify for farm program payments, and USDA does not intend to affect these types of operations by any proposed changes to the actively engaged rules. This includes husbands and wives, father and sons, bothers, other family members and other legitimate farming partners that meet the requirements. However, the U.S. Government Accountability Office filed a recent report that showed several examples of situations where the current regulations have been used to expand farm program payment eligibility well beyond the original intent of the actively engaged rule. The GAO report found that general partnerships were responsible for approximately 27 percent of the total farm operations that received farm program payments in 2012, but that the individuals in these

based on the size of the farming operation. A crop farm of at least 2,500 acres would meet this requirement, which is based on farm management data showing that a full-time farm manager (2,040 hours per year) is capable of managing 2,527 crop acres. The USDA would allow for a variation in this requirement of up to 15 percent, or 375 acres, depending on unique circumstances in the farming operation. A sheep operation with more than 3,500 ewes, or a honey bee operation with over 10,000 hives, would also qualify as a large farming operation. There are separate farm program payments for both wool and honey that fall under farm program payment eligibility rules. A farm entity could also meet the criteria for one additional person to qualify for farm program eligibility as a farm manager, based on the complexity of the farming operation, which is a bit more complicated. The complexity of the operation refers to multiple crops being produced, other non-program farming entities (livestock, canning crops, etc.), and non-traditional marketing channels (export, organic, etc.). Evaluating the complexity of a farming operation is more subjective than determining the size of a farm and would require FSA review and approval. The proposed changes to actively engaged rules would apply only to general partnerships and joint ventures, since these are the only type of farm entities that currently allow multiple individuals to receive farm program payments. Corporations or limited liability corporations are currently not eligible for more than one payment limit, and this would not change under the revised regulations. The farm program payment limit under the farm bill is $125,000 per individual for payments from all types of farm programs. So, in a general farm partnership or joint venture that payment limit would increase to $250,000 for two qualifying individuals, $375,000 for three individuals, and so on. The proposed USDA changes in the actively engaged rules would be implemented under the farm bill for the 2016-18 crop years but would not affect farm program payments for the 2014 or 2015 crop years. It has been estimated the proposed rule changes would affect approximately 1,400 farm operations in the United States, possibly resulting in a reduction of farm program payments by as much as an estimated $50 million

However, since farm program payments from both the new price loss coverage and agriculture risk coverage programs are based on commodity market prices, actual federal dollar savings may vary. The proposed USDA changes to the actively engaged rules are currently under a 60-day review period for public comment, which is scheduled to end on May 26, unless the comment time is extended. The USDA also wants input on its revised definition of “active personal management” of a farm operation, and whether or not this is good criteria to utilize for farm program payment eligibility. The USDA is also wondering if there should be additional criteria or practices applied toward determining farm program payment eligibility, or if there are some activities not listed that are unique to certain farming enterprises. Even though the USDA has stated that the proposed actively engaged rule changes do not apply to family members in general partnerships and joint ventures, they did not exclude this provision from being part of the comment process. Following the 60-day comment period, the USDA would be free to implement the proposed changes in requirements for future farm program payment eligibility, beginning with the 2016 crop year. If these proposed changes become too controversial, or if some leaders in Congress get involved, the comment period could possibly be extended. These proposed rule changes will likely be welcomed by some as positive changes in farm program payment eligibility, but will likely not be accepted as well by the farm operations that are directly affected, or by groups that would like to see actively engaged criteria be made even stricter.

pound. Only three cars traded hands this week at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. NDPSR butter averaged $1.7577 per pound, up 2.3 cents. Some Central butter manufacturers are trying to increase inventory but cannot with current demand, according to Dairy Market News. The increase in pricing at the CME has some producers in flux. Butter production remains steady with some increased competition for cream from ice cream manufacturers. Butter manufacturing is a mixed picture in the West. Some plants are only manufacturing prints for orders in hand and selling extra cream. Other plants are moving cream from other states to support butter production levels. In plants churning print and bulk butter, there is a shift toward a higher percentage of production being bulk. Bulk butter from the West is moving into the Central Region. Some concerns are voiced about meeting print demand during Quarter Four. Speaking of fat; consumers are returning to the flavor of fat. It started with the premium, high-fat ice creams, then butter, and now fluid milk. The April 24 Dairy and Food Market Analyst reports that “Consumers are drinking higher fat milk.

Interest in Cheddar remains strong, but Italian varieties, while still receiving good demand, are closer to a desired balance. Most cheese manufacturers are satisfied with customer demand accommodating higher available seasonal milk supplies going into cheese. Most cheese plants in the West have active schedules and there is good demand for the output. Customers are still buying good volumes of cheese. The question is increasingly asked, is current demand active or holding inventories of cheese for consumption later in the year? Whatever the answer, sales are strong and that is enough to keep production schedules active. Recent demand spikes for barrels were taken as typical by some manufacturers who cite building inventories for the grilling season as a factor in higher seasonal demand for process cheese, made primarily from barrel cheese. ■ Cash butter saw a fourth consecutive week of gain, closing Friday at $1.85 per pound, up two cents, but 22.5 cents below a year ago when the spot blasted 16.5 cents higher, to $2.0750 per

Ice cream wishes
This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondent Richard Siemers
I
n 1994 the Iowa legislature designated Le Mars as the “Ice Cream Capital of the World.” The basis for that title is that more ice cream (150 million gallons) is produced by one company (Wells’ Dairy) in one place (Le Mars) than anywhere else in the world. For ice cream lovers, the title may be attractive, but what really attracts is the Blue Bunny Ice Cream Parlor in downtown Le Mars. It is easily spotted by the huge ice cream sundae sculpture in front of the parlor and the neon “Blue Bunny Ice Cream” sign projecting from the corner of the building. The interior of the historic structure was rebuilt to tell the story of the Wells company. The main floor ice cream parlor includes a marble ice cream bar, plenty of other seating, and a glassfronted counter that will challenge a person’s ability to choose among multiple flavors. One corner of the first floor is set apart as a gift shop. A grand staircase leads to the second floor, a mezzanine style area which has additional seating and a museum, including a video history of the company. There is also a private meeting room for conferences and parties. In 2013 Wells’ Dairy celebrated its 100th anniversary by partnering with Make-a-Wish Foundation to grant 100 wishes. Naturally, every wish granted came with ice cream. According to Lesley Bartholomew, corporate communications manager for Wells’ Dairy, the venture was so satisfying that the company has continued the partnership, granting 20 wishes a year. It is evident as soon as you drive into town that Le Mars and ice cream are linked, as you begin to spot decorated ice cream cone sculptures dotting the landscape. The connection is even more obvious if you happen to be there during “Ice Cream Days,” their community celebration in June, when plenty of ice cream is served. But any time of year you can stop at the Blue Bunny Ice Cream Parlor and taste it for yourself. For more information, parlor hours, and the story of the “Blue Bunny” label, check out www.bluebunny.com. Ice Cream Days this year are June 17-20, with more information at www.lemarsiowa.com. ❖

The Haarstads — Rothsay, Minn. John Haarstad jokingly describes himself as a “lazy farmer,” growing corn and soybeans on a farm six miles southeast of Rothsay, Minn. While growing “just” corn and beans probably doesn’t qualify a producer as “lazy,” livestock was once an integral part of his family farm. “Grandpa quit cows in the early ’50s,” he said. From then on the farm was strictly a cash crop operation. Growing up on the farm Haarstad said he was pretty sure he wanted to farm. In high school he already had a few of his own acres. After high school, Haarstad got the opportunity to go to Australia for nine weeks and take part in farming “Down Under.” After that there was no turning back “I’ve been farming since ’94,” he said. Haarstad and his father, Michael, are in their fourth year of farming together. His brother, Paul, works off the farm but is becoming a larger part of the operation. The brothers do the planting each spring. Haarstad and his wife, Angela, have two sons, Kaden and Isaac, and a daughter, Hailey.
Kaden is 10 and “really interested” in farming, said Haarstad. Unfortunately in this age of big, expensive machinery, he said there’s “no small jobs that I would trust a 10year-old with.” Still, Kaden helps out when he can. Already in the field as of April 13, Haarstad is choosing to be optimistic about this growing season. “It’s a new year and you never know what can happen,” he said. Unfortunately with this new year comes the fact that soil moisture is very low, partly due to a lack of snow this past winter. “We are really dry here,” he said. “I don’t know if we had six inches of snow this year.” Haarstad is holding off planting until the wind settles some, as he doesn’t want to lose precious topsoil. Once conditions are right, he’ll be planting with a 60-foot planter this year, with the goal to have all the corn planted in five or six days. While wind, rain, or the lack thereof, can all be cause for a chaotic spring, Haarstad said, “I enjoy the stress of spring work.” Nothing beats the smell of freshly turned dirt, he said. Simple things for a not-so-lazy farmer.
The Pulks — Wannaska, Minn. A southern Minnesota guy and his family take a chance and move to far northern Minnesota to live his dream of farming. Doesn’t sound like the typical Minnesota farm producer story but it is Andy Pulk’s story. Raised in New Prague, Pulk was always helping his grandfather on his farm. It wasn’t until after college that he started doing Conservation Reserve Program management that led to custom farming in the New Prague area. An opportunity to farm near Wannaska, Minn., arose, so Pulk, his wife Heidi and young family headed north. Getting used to a new area, different ground, even different crops was all part of the learning experience for him. With five years of farming in northern Minnesota under his belt, he’s ready to take spring planting head on. Pulk grows corn, soybeans, spring wheat with grass seed under seeded and sunflowers. “Last year was my first year of grass seeding,” he said. He has found that “grass seeds are proving very good for us up here.” Currently the grass seed is dormant in the ground, Pulk said he is hoping for “for no winter kill on the seed.” Only time will tell. The couple has five little future farmers: Sarah, 6; Madi, 3; Emily, 2; and twin boys Henry and John who will turn 1 in July. While the kids may not be able to help farm yet, Pulk’s brother-inlaw comes from the Twin Cities every spring to help with planting, as well as two high school kids and one full-time employee. Pulk has found that the temperature in Wannaska is usually 10 degrees cooler than his old stomping grounds down south. Even with cooler temperatures Wannaska is now home. “The community up here is similar to New Prague when I grew up,” he said. “There’s lots of young families here.” Pulk is involved in the local community and served on the Northwest Grain board of directors for the last two years, which has been a learning experience. “I’m one of the younger board members. We have a nice mix of ages on our boards,” he said. On April 13, Pulk said he was still two weeks out from “really getting rolling” in the field. Until then, he said he will be feeling “the anxiety of scheduling and planning.” Pulk knows that there’s just nothing better than “when the seeds are popping out of the ground.”
Meet the 2015 “From the Fields” farmers The “Northern Five”...
The Froemmings — Garfield, Minn. Even though Rodney Froemming grew up on a farm, that didn’t mean farming was going to be his only occupation. “I tried a bunch of other things too,” he said. From working as a mortician for 10 years to a John Deere mechanic for 19, Froemming has enjoyed working both on and off the farm. He has now been farming five miles north of Garfield, Minn., since 1975, growing corn, soybeans, wheat, alfalfa and rye. Froemming and wife, Mary, have two children — Patty, who lives in Sioux Falls, S.D., and Janelle, who lives in Alexandria, Minn. Besides farming his own land, he also does “a fair amount of custom work.” That includes custom
combining and haying. This spring has been a dry one on the Froemming farm. As of mid-April, “We haven’t had any rain this spring,” he said. The lack of rain allowed Froemming to finish planting corn on April 17; he also had all his wheat planted by April 10. He was hoping to plant less corn this spring, but instead he “had to go with more corn this year to keep our rotation up.” He will wait until ground temperatures warm up to plant soybeans. So far, compared to last year, he’s ahead of schedule. Froemming said he looks “forward to spring; always optimistic.” He’ll need that optimism, as the moisture situation has become critical. Rain or no rain, he said, “Field conditions are pretty good, and work conditions are excellent.”
The Lees — McIntosh, Minn. Last September ushered in change on the Lee farm in rural McIntosh, Minn. Joan Lee and her husband, Mark, sold their organic dairy operation. Their youngest child, Samantha, graduated from high school in 2012 and after that it was hard to find help — plus Lee said there are “other things we want to do.” The Lees wanted to keep the herd together and remain organic. She had a friend who knew someone who wanted an organic herd. All of the buyer’s guidelines fit Lee’s and it ended up being the perfect fit for all involved. She isn’t sitting on a porch swing taking in the scenery all day. Besides being a Polk County Commissioner, Lee grows organic hay, corn, oats and possibly soybeans this year, as well as conventional wheat and beans. Lee was born and raised on a dairy farm near Princeton, Minn. It was through an agricultural magazine that Lee met Mark, even though “I was one of those that said I was never going to marry a farmer.” The publication put out a farm dating book and some of Lee’s coworkers encouraged her to put her information in the book. “I started receiving letters from different guys. Mark wrote in
September 1985 and I wrote back,” she said. Mark proposed the following April and they got married in October 1986. They live on Mark’s parents’ farm. Lee and Mark have three children: Rebecca, who works in Minneapolis at Gander Mountain corporate office; Joseph, who works at Polaris in Wyoming, Minn.; and Samantha, a junior at the University of Minnesota. Spring work was in full swing on the Lee farm as of April 14. “Mark has been working up some land,” Lee said. They are getting fertilizer from one of their neighbors who has pigs. Mark is also plowing up some hay ground. As planting is about to begin, “Moisture is definitely going to be a concern,” she said. Though this spring may not be so hectic with the absence of the dairy herd, Lee is hoping she will not feel like she is being pulled in so many directions. She and Mark “still haven’t figured our new normal yet.” Lee relishes spring on the farm. “I love that smell when the dirt first gets turned over,” she said. If the weather cooperates it shouldn’t be long until that fragrant smell will be in the air. Lee knows, though, that planting is “definitely at the mercy of Mother Nature.”
The Filzens — Renville, Minn. Dale Filzen has been farming on his own since 1991, six miles south of Renville, Minn. He grew up on a farm just two miles down the road. He knew that farming was in his future. “None of the older brothers did it, so I thought I better,” he said. Filzen’s farming operation consists of corn, soybeans, sugar beets and navy beans. He’s been growing those same crops for at least 10 years. Besides farming his own ground, Filzen also does custom planting and harvesting. “I’ve done some custom work for 10 years,” he said. Filzen is also a Mycogen Seed dealer, something he’s been doing for 18 years. Despite the consistency of his operation, each year is a little different on the farm, and this spring is no exception.
As of April 14, Filzen reported “There’s a fair amount of sugar beets and corn going in.” Conditions have been favorable for planting. “It’s probably the earliest I’ve started,” he said. He likes to get corn planted by April 20. A seasoned producer like Filzen knows that “We could see quite a bit of snow yet.” So for now, he said he has put a couple fields in and will see how that goes. His forecast for this year’s growing season? “I would have to say today there’s potential for a good crop.” Filzen expects to get the crops planted within a two-week span. During that time he will be taking in the wonderment that is spring planting. “I like getting out there and smelling the freshly worked dirt,” he said. Filzen and wife, Tina, have three daughters — Emily, Katie and Melody.
The Pagels Winthrop, Minn. The life of a farmer was all Delayne Pagel ever knew. His father and grandfather were farmers, and he grew up wanting to continue that legacy. He has done that very thing since 1983. Pagel and wife, Kay, raised their three children, David, Karl and Trevor, on their farm two and a quarter miles north of Winthrop. While Pagel farms alone, he has some part-time hired help and said he “swaps equipment and labor” with a neighbor, something he’s been doing for the past seven years. Pagel grows corn, soybeans, wheat and kidney beans. This spring has been dry for much of the region, and the Winthrop area is no exception. “It’s the first year that tile lines aren’t running yet,” he said. Dry conditions allowed Pagel to get in the field early, starting to plant wheat on March 10. After dealing with some mechanical breakdowns, he was hoping to start on corn by April 15 — a typical
planting date for him. While pleased that the weather has cooperated to get the crop in, Pagel expressed concerned that he’s “losing a bit of dirt from wind erosion.” He’s hoping to avoid last year’s disaster. In June of 2014, Pagel experienced a seven-inch rainfall overnight, and “It just kind of flooded everything out,” he said. That resulted in a loss of a quarter of his corn to drown out. This year with the lack of moisture he’s hopeful that prices might begin to rise due to the drought in some areas. Only time will tell. With planting off and running on the farm, Pagel is busy. “It’s just a rat race,” he said. “Kind of run around like your head’s cut off.” Once the crop is in the ground things will slow a little bit, and then it will be time for Pagel to add a new title to his name: Grandpa. His first grandchild is expected in July. New life in the plants sprouting from the ground, and a new grandchild on the way. Lots to look forward to on the Pagel farm.

The Heusinkvelds Wykoff, Minn. On the Heusinkveld farm seven miles south of Wykoff, Minn., cows reign supreme. Nate Heusinkveld has a 350-cow dairy and also grows corn and alfalfa. The operation includes his father, Jeff, who has been farming since 1973. “I always liked farming,” said Heusinkveld, who followed in his father’s footsteps in 1996. “I knew the opportunity was there when I came home.” Home now includes his wife, Misty, and children Lucas, 12, and Kensie, 9. “It’s a normal spring for once,” he said. Barley and peas were planted on April 13, which Heusinkveld said is a little earlier than usual. The four inches of rain that fell the week before made sure the soil moisture was good, he said. This fall Heusinkveld will be planting winter rye again. He had been planting winter rye for five or six years but couldn’t last year due to late spring planting — which translated into late harvesting in 2014. On the dairy side, he reported that prices had been down, but drought in California had begun to move dairy prices up. How high remains to be seen. With good soil moisture, planters going, and weather cooperating, Heusinkveld is pleased with planting so far. “I enjoy spring as long as it’s spaced out a bit,” he said.
The Kemps Sibley, Iowa While Brian Kemp didn’t grow up on a farm, his father ran the horticulture research station for Iowa State University. “I’ve been around agriculture in some form all my life,” he said. “The first 15 years of my career I was a county Extension agent.” During that time Kemp helped his father-in-law farm on the weekends and holidays. Eventually he took over the farming operation three miles southeast of Sibley, Iowa. “My wife and I operate the farm with seasonal help,” he said. Kemp and his wife, Cindy, have two children: Courtney, who lives in Burbank, Calif.; and Andrea, who lives at home. Kemp grows soybeans and corn; he started planting his corn on April 17, nearly a week ahead of most of his neighbors. “It’s been going well,” he said. Planting this year has been “pretty typical,” said Kemp, although “maybe a tad bit later than I want to start.” After he wraps up the corn he’s hopeful he can move right into beans. Kemp said he is concerned that with so little snowfall this past winter, the need for moisture is becoming great. “Subsoil moisture is short,” he said. That said, he still has a positive outlook for 2015. “You’ve got to be an optimist,” said Kemp. “Even though it’s dry, it’s better planting conditions than if there’s too much moisture.” Precipitation this growing season will be critical. “We are going to have to have timely rains to produce a crop this year,” he said.
The Marbles Mapleton, Minn. Harlan Marble of Mapleton, Minn. has figured out the key to longevity in farming. Leave town and head to Arizona from Nov. 1 to April 1. He’s farmed since 1964 so he figures a break during the harsh Minnesota winter months to give his arthritis a little dry heat treatment is much deserved. Marble said he “never left the farm.” This fifth generation farmer grows corn and soybeans, and finishes 15,000 hogs a year for Hormel. Son Allen farms alongside his dad. Raising hogs is in Marble’s DNA. “When my forefathers came to Minnesota when the territory was settled, they brought hogs with them,” he said, so his family knows a thing or two. Besides working with hogs, Marble also milked cows for 10 years when he started farming. “I don’t miss the cows at all,” he said, noting that he didn’t have a modern facility so it was extremely labor intensive. Marble and wife, Elaine, have enjoyed 53 years of wedded bliss. They first met at the Minnesota State Fair when he was 15 and she was 13. It was love at first sight, but she being a St. Paul girl and Marble a rural boy, they had to have a long distance, letter-only relationship for a while. They married six years later and Elaine fit right in, out in the country. “She couldn’t wait to get down to the farm,” he said. The couple has two daughters, Emily and Pamela, and two sons, Allen and James. As of April 23, spring had been going well at the Marble place. “We’re half done with the corn,” he said. He predicted they would be done planting corn by April 24 and, if conditions were right, would be planting beans in another week. “Depends on what Mother Nature gives,” he noted. If you farm for 51 years, you must really like what you’re doing, and that’s exactly the case for Marble. “I’ve never hated Monday or looked forward to Friday,” he said. What does he enjoy the most about farming? “Everything,” he replied.

farm is a “great confidence builder for him.” On April 10, Thorpe was hoping to tackle the field work “pretty hard this week,” figuring he’d start planting by April 13. When planting is done, of course, depends on rain. “If we don’t have moisture,” he sad, “I think we’ll have our crops in, in a couple weeks.” Even with the lack of winter snow, Thorpe said there should be enough moisture to get the crop going. As far as predicting how the crop year will go, he said “I don’t think it’s going to be a highly profitable year,” before quickly adding, “There’ll be better years.” For Thorpe, getting out in the planter and putting that seed in the ground is as gratifying as watching the crops come off in the fall. “Both are very rewarding,” he said.

The Thorpes Canby, Minn. Nathan Thorpe has been farming for 22 years, and it’s been in his blood from day one. Even through the high school years when “it wasn’t the popular thing to do,” he said, he knew it was what he wanted to do. “(In) 1994 I purchased my first piece of ground and I was in,” he said. Thorpe grows corn and soybeans with his brother, Brian, seven miles northwest of Canby, Minn. He and his wife, Lisa, have three children — Andrew, 13; Levi, 11; and Leah, 4 — and he can already see the love of farming taking root with Andrew. “Last fall he started chisel plowing,” he said. Thorpe said that he believes that Andrew’s helping around the

Centuries ago, people learned to harness and save water, yet they could do little but dance or pray for rain to fall in times of drought. In the early 1400s, King Sejong the Great of Korea understood how to measure what fell. In the late 1500s, witches were blamed for dry spells; barometers were invented a hundred years later, and a fad for weather-watching captivated America and Europe.
By 1802, clouds were named by a man whose father thought weather prediction was folly; later that century, rainmakers were paid fortunes to make clouds form over dry fields. Today, even though we have modern methods of predicting rain and there are thousands of local precipitation reporters around the world, meteorologists sometimes still miss storms and showers. Even if we could tell where it was going to come down (or not), there are things about rain we tend to overlook. Doodlers get raindrop shapes all wrong, for instance. We ignore that rain has changed elections, societies, and wars. We mightn’t understand that pruny-wet fingers could be an ancient rain adaptation, or that “raining cats and dogs” isn’t what

The kids were unbelievably disappointed. There isn’t much you could do, though, when a long-anticipated event gets rained out. You can rant and shake your fist at the sky but you know that’s energy wasted. The best you can do is rent a movie, re-schedule your event – and read “Rain: A Natural and Cultural History” by Cynthia Barnett. Eons ago, just after earth became more than a bit of debris flung off in the birth of the sun, water vapor got trapped in our planet’s atmosphere. Eventually, earth’s surface cooled enough that moisture poured down and it rained for years. That’s a good thing: without it, there would be no life here. Early civilizations came and went with the rains. Humans moved from forest to savannah and picked up hoes, tamed livestock, and built boats. They created gods to explain where rain comes from and who ruled lightning, and just about every culture passed down a cataclysmic flood story.
