...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

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. 7B

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
INSIDE THIS ISSUE:
agricultural lands has equal or better water quality than before European settlement. 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. Five lakes in southern Minnesota were selected which represented predominately agricultural watersheds. Cores from the lakes were age-dated and phosphorus See COMMENTARY, pg. 3A

COMMENTARY, from pg. 2A concentrations for years 1750 and 1990 were determined. The average level for 1750 was 48 parts per billion, while the level for 1990 was 46 ppb. Water quality representing modern agriculture was slightly better than levels representing pre-European settlement. A second example is provided by the Department of Natural Resources. Trout stream quality water is viewed as the pinnacle of good water quality. Trout are not native to the Minnesota River Basin, because the native water quality would not support reproducing populations of Tell the trout. The DNR introduced European Brown Trout to Governor the basin many years ago. he should Initially, they didn’t reproget his facts duce because water straight ... warmed in the wetlands that fed the streams. However, today there are reproducing populations of Brown Trout in many streams within the basin fed by agricultural drainage ditches. Most of these ditches do not have the 50-foot “buffer” on the backslope. The agricultural practices in these watersheds are representative of modern agriculture throughout the state. The Governor’s perception that agriculture is producing “cesspools” is completely contradicted by facts and the evidence. Agriculture is actually improving water quality relative to the native conditions. Many other unbiased studies clearly show that agriculture is good for water quality and farmers should be proud of their stewardship. Some evidence actually indicates that the 50-foot buffer proposal could reduce water quality; as well as, reduce duck nesting success. The Governor needs to ask his commissioners why he is being misinformed. The proposed buffer law comes with significant cost to individual farmers and will negatively impact rural economies. In Brown County about $25 million of land will be taken out of production, with about $50 million in Redwood and nearly $75 million in Renville counties. Statewide, about $1 billion in land will be confiscated from farmers. In addition, the loss of production from this land could have an estimated $500 million annual negative impact on the rural economy. Call Gov. Dayton — (800) 657-3717 — and your

The Merger would result in a post-Merger HHI of 5,836 and increases in concentration of 2,800 points, or 14 times the increase necessary to establish a presumption of competitive harm.” In the above-mentioned 32 markets where the merged Sysco and US Foods would not compete head-to-head as they do now, the deal would deliver HHIs of “between 2,997 and 10,000.” In fact, notes the FTC report, “By eliminating vigorous competition between Sysco and US Foods, the Merger would significantly reduce these benefits, harming businesses that offer food away from home and, ultimately, their end consumers.” So, slam dunk, no deal, right? After all, the FTC shows irrefutable data that clearly establishes market concentration will increase by an “illegal” factor from four to “14 times necessary to establish a presumption of competitive harm.” In a story published in the May 4 Wall Street Journal — the day before Sysco and US Foods were to begin a seven-day court hearing to refute the FTC filing — “the companies call(ed) the FTC’s math ‘pure fiction,’” and promised a hard fight for their deal. No surprise. Too many rules, according to Sysco, is what ails business. The cure, it suggests, is anything that satisfies Big Biz’s big appetite. Even, as in this case, it’s just pure baloney.

Plus cover crops build nutrient value in your soils by deep rooting and bringing up nutrients naturally occurring in your soils but at deeper levels. A radish will punch roots down 3 feet or more to loosen up hardpan conditions. And a winter cover crop such as winter triticale or winter rye or winter peas can provide good forage value early the next spring, or as green manure in an

Diversifying forage sources reduces risk
THE LAND, MAY 15, 2015

<< MILKER’S MESSAGE >>
Pasture is the primary source of forage for organic dairies, and organic livestock production regulations require a minimum of 120 days grazing per animal. Profitability depends on pastures that provide a season-long supply of high quality forage. Compared to monocultures, diversity reduces risks associated with loss of any single pasture species, provides for variable resource use within a field, supplies potentially more uniform biomass during the growing season, and improves soil health. Pasture diversity can be increased by adding grasses and forbs and by increasing numbers of species within grasses and forbs. An example is to grow nitrogen-fixing legumes with grasses. Although legumes supply nitrogen to grasses and provide a higher energy feedstuff than grasses, legumes are generally less persistent and require higher levels of soil fertility than grasses. Increases in diversity in a farm’s forage base can be achieved by planting mixtures in individual pastures, and by planting separate pastures with different species. There are a lot of disagreements regarding the ideal number of species to include in pasture mixtures. Most agronomic guidelines recommend the use of a small number of species in grazed mixtures. Past research in the Northeast United States found that six to nine grass species were more productive than a white clover-orchardgrass mixture. See FORAGE, pg. 17A

MIELKE, from pg. 13A cent loss last time, and butter rounded up the losses, down 0.8 percent, following a 6.6 percent drop last time. FC Stone reports the average GDT butter price equated to about $1.36 per pound U.S., down from $1.3727 in the April 15 event. Contrast that to Chicago Mercantile Exchange butter which closed Friday morning at $1.9850 per pound. The GDT Cheddar cheese average was $1.37 per pound U.S., up from $1.3099. The U.S. block Cheddar CME price closed Friday at $1.6125. GDT skim milk powder, at 93 cents per pound U.S., is down from $1.0221, and the whole milk powder average at $1.08 per pound U.S., is down from $1.1093 in the last event. The CME Grade A nonfat dry milk price closed Friday at 95.75 cents per pound. ■ “U.S. dairy exports grow to nine month high,” according to the U.S. Dairy Export Council’s Alan Levitt in his latest blog posting. Levitt states: “In March, U.S. dairy export volumes reached their highest level in nine months, led by record-high shipments of nonfat dry milk/skim milk powder to Mexico and cheese to South Korea. In addition, global shipments of lactose and whey protein isolate topped previous highs.” Overall volume and value improved from previous months, though sales lagged year-ago levels. On a daily-average basis, exports were up 19 percent by volume and 14 percent by value from February. However, compared with last March, exports were down nine percent by volume and 24 percent by value. Comparisons with March 2014 look less favorable in part because U.S. exports last March were the most ever. Shipments of NDM/SMP were 55,022 tons, up 40 percent from February (daily average) and up 7 percent from last year. Sales to Mexico were 26,213 tons, the most ever and 68 percent more than a year ago. Cheese exports in March were 34,302 tons, up five percent from February (daily average) but down 5 percent from a year ago. Suppliers sold 8,410 tons to South Korea, up 48 percent from last year and a new high. Cash dairy prices in Chicago seem unfazed by what’s going on in the rest of the world.

First quarter butter exports way down from last year MIELKE, from pg. 15A 2015 and is the highest level since Dec. 12, 2014. NDPSR butter averaged $1.8049, up 4.7 cents. Butter demand is remaining steady, according to Dairy Market News. Some manufacturers still want to build inventory levels, but are unable to with the current demand levels. This has some manufacturers concerned about Third Quarter obligations. Churning remains active. Some reports say surplus cream is going into butter manufacturing. The Foreign Agricultural Service reports that U.S. butter exports in the January to March 2015 period, totaled 17.1 million pounds, down 75 percent from the same period in 2014. Butter manufacturing remains a mixed picture in the West. Cream availability appears to be long in some areas, and tight in others. Some plants have eased back on butter production and are selling more cream. Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed the week at 95.75 cents per pound, up two cents but 83 cents below a year ago. Fourteen cars traded hands this week at the CME. NDPSR powder averaged 95.06 cents per pound, down 0.1 cent, and dry whey aver-

The dairy farmer-funded Cooperatives Working Together accepted nine requests for export assistance Monday from Agri-Mark, Dairy Farmers of America, and Northwest Dairy Association (Darigold) who have contracts to sell 604,067 pounds of Cheddar, Colby and Monterey Jack cheese and 1.102 million pounds of whole milk powder to customers in Asia and the Middle East. The product has been contracted for delivery through October and raises CWT’s 2015 export sales to 29.485 million pounds of cheese, 24.388 million pounds of butter, and 9.841 million pounds of whole milk powder to 28 countries. ■ You’ll recall that March 2015 milk production totaled 16.9 billion pounds, according to USDA’s preliminary data, up just 1.1 percent compared to March 2014. USDA’s latest Dairy Products report issued Tuesday shows where that milk went and didn’t. Butter output totaled 162 million pounds, up 3.5 percent from February but three percent below March 2014.

U of M Extension studying two pasture systems are measuring the performance of dairy cows grazing two unique pasture systems designed to maximize seasonal forage yield and quality and extend the grazing season. System 1 will increase within-field species diversity targeting perennial cool season, polyculture pastures to enhance multiseasonal productivity (spring, summer and fall). System 2 will increase across-landscape diversity achieved by adding a combination of perennial
polycultures and annual warm season grasses fertilized with livestock manures. Regional differences in soil fertility and rainfall may favor different pasture species in other locations. Grazing systems using these different approaches to achieve diversity require biological, environmental and
economic analysis. Pasture management and forage species selection within a farm can influence the feed quality of forage for grazing animals. This article was submitted by Brad Heins, assistant professor, University of Minnesota Extension, West Central Research and Outreach Center, Morris. ❖

SEZ Eons ago, just after earth became By Terri Schlichenmeyer 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 rain to fall in times of drought. and it rained for years.

Centuries ago, people learned to harness and save By 1802, clouds were named water, yet they could do little but dance or pray for 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 other cultures say. And we may not know that the rain falling on our faces today may have wet the faces of our most ancient ancestors. Maybe because it’s as refreshing as its title, or maybe because it reminded me of spring, but “Rain: A Natural and Cultural History” made me very happy. That stuff that falls from the sky isn’t strictly what this book is all about, though. Author Cynthia Barnett also touches upon history, biology, earth science, global warming and all kinds of tiny facets of culture. We’re sprinkled with delightful surprises, as well as terrifying tales of droughts and floods, then introduced to majesty on one page and destruction two pages later. That, for sure, is not all wet. This book practically screams for weather fans to own it. It’s filled with fascinating knowledge, no matter where you live. Whether your pray for precipitation or curse it, “Rain: A Natural and Cultural History” is awash with goodness. Look for the reviewed book at a bookstore or a library near you. You may also find the book at online book retailers. The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terri has been reading since she was 3 years old and never goes anywhere without a book. She lives in Wisconsin with three dogs and 10,000 books. ❖

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 latest reports from the Northern Five... The Pulks Wannaska, Minn. Rain is in demand on the Andy Pulk farm. “We are very, very dry,” said Pulk on May 7. “(The ground is) short on topsoil moisture.” As for planting, he finished getting the wheat, corn and beans in the ground, but still needs to plant sunflowers. “We’re two-thirds to three-fourths done,” he
said. Pulk received some bad news. “We got notified that all our rye grass acres have failed,” he said. While not a complete surprise, it was “definitely disappointing.” Trying to look on the bright side, Pulk noted that no rye grass crop means no rye grass harvest, so they should actually be able to enjoy “some family time at the end of July.”
The Haarstads Rothsay, Minn. All the corn was in the ground for John Haarstad as of May 1, and he finished planting soybeans on May 5. When The Land spoke with Haarstad on May 7, he said a little precipitation had just fallen from the sky. “Not a lot, but nice to know it can rain,” said Haarstad. He said he’ll spraying pre-emerge on the beans and corn, as well as “side-dress urea on our corn
fields” as soon as the conditions are right. “We never complain about rain,” Haarstad said, because when it does come, he just heads over to his other business, National Sign Reclaiming. NSR takes traffic signs and uses a high pressure washer to strip the paint off, then cleans them and ships them back to the counties and cities they came from. Rain or shine, all signs point to Haarstad staying busy this time of year.
Bean There
The Lees McIntosh, Minn. Rain was needed on the Lee farm when The Land spoke with Joan Lee on May 7. A mere couple hundredths of an inch had fallen the day before, and
it was still dry in the area. Lee has planted wheat, organic oats and organic corn so far. “It’s mainly the beans we have left,” she said. The bottom line: Lee is “just hoping we do get some rain.”
The Froemmings Garfield, Minn. Things are off and running on the Froemming farm. “The rye is already a foot tall,” said Rodney Froemming on May 7; the corn was popping up, too. “Last couple of days you are starting to see rows,” he said.
Meanwhile, Froemming began planting soybeans on May 2, but with the rain that fell that week, he said “It will be a while before getting back in the field.” Once the planter is back at it, though, Froemming expects it will only take “two good days and we’ll be done.”
The Filzens Renville, Minn. “Corn, soybeans and sugar beets are all in,” Dale Filzen said on May 7. “I’ve got navy beans to plant.” Outside of a mere sprinkling, he said he hasn’t had “any rain to speak of” since planting. That dryness allowed Filzen to
finish planting soybeans on April 30. “I’ve never finished in April,” he said. Filzen plans to plant navy beans next week if temperatures warm up. “They don’t like cool weather,” he said. As for the corn, Filzen said it’s “starting to come up,” adding that they “definitely need the rain for a little more emergence.”

Despite only 4.0 days suitable for fieldwork, Minnesota farmers planted soybeans at a near record pace during the week ending May 10, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Field activities for the week included planting, as well as applying fertilizer and herbicides. Recent precipitation helped improve soil moisture conditions. Topsoil moisture supplies were rated one percent very short, 16 percent short, 81 percent
adequate, and two percent surplus. Subsoil moisture supplies were rated four percent very short, 32 percent short, 64 percent adequate, and zero percent surplus. With Minnesota’s corn planting nearing completion, 39 percent of the corn crop had emerged, the second most in 30 years. Over one-third of the soybean acreage was planted during the week

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.
Small grains wrapping up
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.

CROP PROGRESS, from pg. 2B ending May 10, tied for the most planted in this week in 30 years. Soybean planting now stands at 70 percent complete, the most planted by this date in 30 years. Small grain seeding was almost complete. Barley was 78 percent emerged, well ahead of last year when none of the crop had emerged by this date and just over three weeks ahead of the five-year average. Seventy-seven percent of the oat acreage had emerged, just over three weeks ahead of last year. The first oat condition rating of the year was estimated at zero percent very poor, one percent poor, 16 percent fair, 70 percent good, and 13 percent excellent. Eighty-two percent of the spring wheat acreage was emerged, 31 days ahead of the previous year. The first spring wheat condition was rated at zero percent very poor, one percent fair, 38 percent fair, 51 percent good, and 10 percent excellent. Potato, sunflower, and dry edible bean planting now stand at the highest percent planted for week ending May 10 in 30 years. The first all hay condition rating of the year was estimated at three percent very poor, 10 percent poor, 23 percent fair, 59 percent good, and five percent excellent. Some farmers remained concerned about winterkill in alfalfa. This article was submitted by USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service. ❖
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.

The following market analysis is for the week ending May 8. CORN — For all the ups and downs last week, July corn closed unchanged at $3.63 per bushel while December corn fell two cents to $3.78 1⁄4 per bushel. During the week, July corn sank to $3.55 3⁄4 per bushel, its lowest level since last October. The July contract low is $3.46 3⁄4 per bushel. Excellent planting progress as of May 3 at 55 percent, with favorable crop development weather forecasts, kept buyers at bay. Planting jumped by 36 percent during that week, the second biggest weekly increase on record. PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. Minnesota was 83 percent comSt. Paul plete versus 34 percent average. Planting progress is forecast to hit 75-85 percent complete as of May 10 versus the five-year average for that date of just 58 percent complete. Corn emergence as of May 3 was only nine percent, three percent behind the average. Basis levels were firm with grower selling extremely tight and export sales at the high end of expectations. Ethanol plants were pushing for May deliveries from commercials to be brought in while lines were short and producer direct deliveries were light. The Commitment of Traders report as of May 5 indicated that directional traders, to include managed money and large reportable traders, increased their net short position in corn over the previous week from 29,000 contracts to net short 60,000 contracts. Weekly export sales were above expectations for old crop at 33.1 million bushels. Total corn export
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 past JOE TEALE few months of beef in storage has Broker grown and packers want to move Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. 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 See TEALE, pg. 5B
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, Indiana and Ohio had record or KURT LENSING AgStar Assistant VP near-record yields resulting in lit- and Industry Specialist tle no losses on insurance poliWaite Park, Minn. cies. 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.

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. ❖
were mostly steady for nearby delivery. Soybean planting was 13 percent complete as of May 3 versus the average of nine percent complete. Minnesota was 32 percent complete versus seven percent on average. Planting as of May 10 is anticipated to be wildly ahead of the average at between 30-40 percent complete compared to the five-year average of 20 percent complete. Weekly export sales for old crop were at the high end of expectations at 12.5 million bushels. Total soybean exports sales now total 1.815 billion bushels, above the USDA estimate of 1.79 billion bushels of exports. Last year, 50 million bushels of sales were rolled into new crop. The April National Oilseed Processors Association crush report will be released May 15. This may give us a hint of how the bird flu has affected meal demand. May 7 was the first day since April 15 that no new cases of bird flu were reported. The total number of birds affected is 25.7 million. An early estimate for the crush report is 147-148 million bushels versus last year’s 132.7 million bushels. OUTLOOK: The average trade estimate for the May 12 USDA crop report for 2014-15 ending stocks is 360 million bushels, down 10 million bushels from the April report. The first 2015-16 balance sheets are expected to show ending stocks of 443 million bushels. For South America, the average estimate for Brazil’s crop is 94.4 mmt and 58.5 mmt for Argentina, compared to 94.5 and 57.0 mmt respectively last month. Conab will also update its Brazilian production number on May 12. The United States is off to a zippy start on soybeans. The weather, the USDA and Conab numbers, as well as the upcoming NOPA crush report, will be heavy influences on price direction. Short-term support in the July contract is $9.61 1⁄2 with resistance at $9.95 per bushel. The November contract’s first short term support is $9.37 3⁄4 with resistance at $9.67 1⁄2 per bushel. Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending May 8: Minneapolis wheat rallied 6 1⁄2 cents, Chicago was 7 1⁄2 cents higher and Kansas City gained eight cents per bushel. June crude oil was up 24 cents at $59.39 per barrel,ultra-low-sulfur diesel fell nearly three cents and reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending dropped over 3 1/2 cents. ❖

South American production to increase by 1 mmt to 25 mmt and Brazil’s increase to 76.9 mmt from 75.0 mmt in April. The next level of support in the July contract is $3.55 3⁄4 per bushel with resistance near $3.69 1⁄2 per bushel; support lies at $3.72 1⁄4 in the December contract and resistance at $3.85 per bushel. Weather factors, the USDA crop report, and money flow will help determine if enough premium has been taken out of the market for now. Unless the trade believes the crop is being threatened, it may be difficult to support a significant rally. SOYBEANS — Soybeans got off to a robust start this week with prices climbing to mid-week before cutting gains. For the week, July soybeans were up 11 1⁄2 cents at $9.76 1⁄4 and November soybeans were 11 1⁄4 cents higher at $9.52 per bushel. The early rally saw heavy farmer selling in South America, but very little in the United States as planting progressed. Soybean loadings in Brazil are on pace for record loadings in May. Of the 2 mmt already shipped this month from Brazil, 1.6 mmt were bound for China. China’s October to April soybean imports were 39.6 mmt compared to last year’s 39.5 mmt. The USDA is forecasting China’s soybean imports to increase 5.1 percent year on year. If shipments from Brazil continue to be heavy, China’s May-June imports may be at record levels. The possibility of a dockworkers and boat captain strike in Argentina lent underlying support to the soybeans, but as of this writing any vote has been postponed until May 14. Only a few processors in southern Rosario have been affected. Soybean basis levels

NYSTROM, from pg. 4B commitments are 1.62 billion bushels, quickly approaching the 1.8 billion bushels the U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting for this marketing year. We need 14.1 million bushels per week to hit the projection. Last year we averaged 9.4 million bushels of export sales from now until the end of the marketing year. Weekly ethanol production dropped 34,000 barrels per day to 887,000 barrels per day and stocks fell 35,000 barrels to 20.76 million barrels. Production is running five percent ahead of last year, but is the lowest since October. China’s National Grain and Oils Information Center is predicting a record 2015 corn crop of 232 million metric tons. The USDA is forecasting China’s 2014 corn crop at 216 mmt. The three-day hard red wheat tour took place this past week. The Kansas wheat crop was estimated at 35.9 bushels per acre compared to the five-year average of 40.3 bu./acre. Their production forecast is 288.5 million bushels versus the five-year average of 331.6 million bushels. OUTLOOK: The monthly USDA crop report will be released May 12 and we will get our first look at the 2015-16 balance sheets. The average 2014-15 ending stocks projection is 1.864 billion bushels, up from 1.827 billion on the balance sheet in April. The average estimate for the 2015-16 crop year ending stocks is 1.752 billion bushels. The 2015-16 yield forecast at the Outlook Conference in February was 166.8 bu./acre. Many traders are not looking for a yield increase on this month’s initial report, although history would suggest otherwise. Predictions are for

tion. If the farm entity seeks to qualify more than one person as a manager than each additional person would be required to keep a record or log of their additional management activities, which would be required to be submitted to the Farm Service Agency office. Qualifying additional managers would not be automatic, and would need to be approved by the FSA. A farm entity could qualify for one extra person for farm program eligibility through the management definition 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 much 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 current 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 See THIESSE, pg. 7B

teria 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 specifically 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.

THIESSE, from pg. 6B 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 current farm bill for the 2016-2018 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 over the three year period. 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 their 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. They are also wondering if there should be additional cri-

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.” ❖

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
