The NAFTA fight, argued Clinton’s top salesman, Chicago tough guy Bill Daley, wasn’t about losing today’s jobs to Mexico or yesterday’s markets to Canada. Instead, he preached, NAFTA was about how the United States would dominate tomorrow’s global economy with not-yet invented technologies, jobs, and markets.

Brilliant; how can you argue — let alone vote— against a technology, market or job you’ve never seen, heard of or used? NAFTA, Daley offered, wasn’t about Ford and GM moving factories to Mexico in 1995; it was about companies not yet named Google and Facebook creating American jobs in 2010. Not surprisingly, export-loving American farmers and ranchers embraced the Clinton view (without embracing Clinton) and promoted NAFTA to their representatives as the greatest thing to hit U.S. agriculture since rubber tires. Now, 22 years on, here we are again. A largely unread, secretly negotiated, un-amendable trade agreement awaits Congressional action as its unlikely champion, another Democratic president, encourages another Chicagoan, his secretary of commerce, Penny Pritzker, to again sell the deal to enough friends — Congressional Democrats — to drag it across the finish line. And all of it is about that great, hopeful unknown, the “future.” Will this White House close this deal? Realpolitik suggests not to bet against it or history. Since approving NAFTA, Congress has approved free trade deals with Columbia, Panama, and Korea by House votes of 262 to 167, 300 to 129, and 278 to 151, respectively. Stick a fork in TPP because it’s done. Well, probably. The Farm and Food File is published weekly through the United States and Canada.

Cover story: Straw man thinks small, sells big

Richard Siemers

Travis Kleine’s mini-bales are used for algae control in ponds and water gardens, as well as for decoration. The straw mini-bales are sold for fall decor at stores such as Menards, Runnings and Bomgaards.

THE LAND, MAY 29, 2015 “Where Farm and Family Meet”

Kleine himself modified a manure spreader to unroll the large round bales and feed the straw and hay into the baler. Basically, then, he’s buying straw and hay and repackaging it? “Yes,” he said. “That’s the FSA term. I didn’t qualify for a loan because I don’t grow the straw. There’s enough income off of it for what we wanted to do, but evidently it’s not (considered to be) an ag enterprise. We’re repackaging, similar to a Christmas tree lot.” He opened a semi-trailer to show his work. It was filling up with small straw bales, each individually packaged in plastic. In the fall, the retailer will drop off an empty trailer and take the full one to the distribution center. While the wheat straw bales people use to decorate their environment are the big seller, the barley straw bales have a more beneficial impact on the environment, since they are a natural replacement for using chemicals to control algae. Kleine’s website has a number of reports from university studies to support their use in algae control in ponds. “Think small” is not a mantra you often hear in agriculture these days. Kleine, however, has found that there is a market for mini-bales, and he’ll be spending another summer reducing large bales to the size that fills that need.

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent If you are old enough to have lifted, tossed, and stacked bales of hay and straw in your younger days, you might be pleased to know that bales small enough to be handled by hand are few and far between. Everything seems to have grown larger these days. Travis Kleine, however, knows there is also merit in growing smaller. Kleine has a thriving enterprise in making mini-bales. These authentic bales look like they are made with some future farmer’s toy machine. They measure 18 x 11 x 9 inches and weigh approximately 10 pounds. His young daughters can handle them. The barley straw bales are used for algae control in ponds and water gardens. The wheat straw bales are for decoration. “I started making mini-bales three to four years ago,” Kleine said. “First I sold them to Runnings, Bomgaards, garden centers, places like that. Then I contacted bigger retails and got a contract with Menards. Last year it was for 5,500 bales; this year they want 6,000.” Retailers sell them especially in the fall and around Halloween for decorations. Apparently, the “country” look never goes out of style. It takes Kleine most of the summer to produce the 7,000 wheat straw bales that he sells to retailers. By comparison, he bales only about 20 barley straw bales, which he sells directly to customers. “They use them for algae control in ponds in place of chemicals,” he said. He also sells about 80 grass hay and alfalfa mini-bales to folks with small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs. Most of these bales are sold in the Twin Cities, including to a guinea pig rescue facility. “Think small” If you are picturing Kleine pulling a child-sized baler picking up a windrow of straw, that’s not exactly how he works. It’s possible, he said, but would take a slow-moving hydrostatic tractor, so he has a more practical approach. He purchases large bales, breaks them up, and feeds them into a stationary baler in his yard. No one mass produces mini-balers. “The Amish in Pennsylvania shopbuilt the baler,” Kleine explained. “They chop down a regular baler and modify the chamber and plunger, and narrow up the knotters.”

Stop childhood lead poisoning before it starts Lead is all around us Hobbyists use lead in their stained glass windows, lead crystal, pottery and low grade pewter projects. Lead can be found in fishing sinkers and bird shot. Many houses have lead solder in copper pipes, which was banned in 1988. Wheel weights used to balance tires are solid lead. The natural home remedies of Greta and Azarcon contain as much as 90 percent lead. Lead also can be found in candy from Mexico and southeast Asia, imported toys or jewelry. Lead is even found in soils. Paint scraped from houses with exterior paint containing lead, ends up in the soil and stays. The New York Times reported high levels of lead found in eggs raised in the city possibly due to lead gasoline exhaust and former lead paint usage. Urban gardeners should be aware of this possible contamination. – Renae Vander Schaaf trom. Specific guidelines need to be followed when renovating. The main objective is to prevent dust from forming that can potentially be inhaled or ingested. To learn more about these guidelines check with your county health department. Other proactive measures include washing hands and children’s toys often. Regularly clean floors, window sills and other surfaces. Eating healthy, low-fat foods, high in iron, calcium and Vitamin C help because children with good diets and regular eating absorb less lead. “There really is no safe level of lead exposure,” said Nystrom. “Preventing exposure is the only cure. Once exposed it is too late; the loss of IQ is irreversible.” Whenever there is anemia, unexplained colic or abdominal pain, lead toxicity should be considered. ❖

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

The only way to tell if a person has a high lead level is to have a blood test done. But that is only accurate if there has been a recent exposure. There is no way to tell what has accumulated in the bones or brain. In Iowa, all children under the age of six years should be tested annually. “If we know there is a problem,” said Nystrom, “we can prevent younger or future siblings from lead exposure.” Homes built before 1940 have an 87 percent chance of containing lead; 69 percent for homes between 1940 and 1959; and 24 percent between 1960 and 1978. The major source for lead in homes is paint, stain, and varnishes. A certified inspector can check your home for lead. Testers are also available at hardware stores. Some are instant read while others require a sample to be sent in. “When there is a positive reading for lead, renovate carefully,” said Nys-

Topics include energy usage in swine and dairy, energy-efficient farm lighting, incentives, grants and loans for renewable and energy efficient systems, tour of WCROC’s dairy and energy systems, as well as the center’s renewable hydrogen and ammonia pilot plant that uses wind energy to drive the process. New technologies from the U of M have made the process to manufacture nitrogen fertilizer

more efficient, said Reese. A second renewable energy tour includes a bus trip to Riverview Dairy, an 800-head operation in Morris. Many incentives and rebates for solar energy exist in Minnesota. With economists on hand to discuss the feasibility of solar electric systems for livestock barns, farmers can get a good idea of what will work for them, said Reese. “You can put a lot of solar on those roofs to potentially save energy costs,” he said. WCROC has converted its dairy to be more energy efficient. The dairy’s energy system includes a wind turbine and solar energy system with a goal of being a “net zero energy consumer and produce all of the power on site,” Reese said. Swine operation Lee Johnston, WCROC swine professor and director of operations, is looking at ways to drive down the use of fossil fuels in hog barns. You can tour the center’s hog barns equipped with newly installed solar panels. “A lot of this is driven by markets saying they want a lower carbon footprint on food products,” said Johnston. See ENERGY, pg. 9

Marketplace driving trend to reduce use of fossil fuels ture back at night and up in the morning. Control strategies for livestock buildings will be discussed at the conference. While programmable controllers are at the high end, Johnston said it may be cost effective for high

volume barns. For smaller operations, it may be cost effective when the old controller wears out. He is also monitoring electrical and heating fuel use on six commercial barns for a year to generate figures on what farms are using. ❖

THE LAND, MAY 29, 2015 << www.TheLandOnline.com >>

ENERGY, from pg. 8 “Electricity and fossil fuels are not a huge part of pig production if you look at the barn, but if you fold in the crop production for feed, the footprint gets bigger.” Johnston completed two studies in reducing the nocturnal temperature in their nursery as a way to lower heating fuels and costs. “You put a weaning pig in there at 18 to 20 days, he needs a very high temperature in the room. It usually takes a lot of propane to keep the temperature up,” he said. Studies showed that if you set the temperature back by 10 to 15 F and then bring it back up in the morning, a producer could save almost 20 percent on fuel usage. For example, if the barn is heated to 85 F during the day, the producer would set back the temperature to 70 or 75 F at night. “We are pretty confident that data is strong,” said Johnston. Three other upper Midwest university studies found similar results. The data came out ahead of the propane crisis a year ago so it was very timely. In fact, after two weeks of setting the temperature back at night, the furnaces didn’t run because the pigs were generating so much heat it kept the room at the target temperature, said Johnston. “We have leaner genetics and those pigs tend to produce more body heat,” he said. Johnston said producers watch their pigs closely to set a target temperature. If the pigs are piling on top of each other, the pigs are cold. At night, pigs “spoon,” laying side-by-side to stay warm. In the morning, pigs need the temperature higher so they can be comfortable and active. With advancements in barn controllers, producers can program the heating system to set the tempera-

“I think they should just get their foot wet by trying just a single choice, such as rye or oats,” said DeJong-Hughes. “I like to start them off with something that doesn’t over winter so they don’t need to do a spray out in the spring. Oats are good but rye covers quickly; also consider tillage radish.” When to seed is a matter for debate, and Extension is working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Risk Management Agency on insurance coverage. “You cannot hurt your primary crop so we’re looking at around V8 growth stage in corn,” she said. “Aerial application can work if you have some rain shortly after the fly-on. I like to see some seed-to-soil contact, otherwise you’re just out there feeding the rodents and bugs.” High-boy Hagies are being retrofitted to seed cover crops, and she added, “so, too, are farmers — where there’s a will, there’s a way” DeJong-Hughes suggested robots could walk the fields while interseeding cover crops. She also advocates for more diversity in our farming landscape. “If you want to have more management options for variable weather, variable weed control issues, variable marketing, then crop diversity is key,” she said. “Crop diversity also helps build soil structure but if you don’t have a market that’s where we get shot down.” Jodi DeJong-Hughes was interviewed at Earth Day at Prairie Woods Environmental Learning Center in Spicer, Minn.

farmer answered our questions, he looked puzzled one time because Paul repeated the question in English instead of translating. We slowly learned about typical farming practices in central Parana. Miguel had his three combines and other harvesting equipment all ready to go when the rainy weather let up. After a short night’s rest in the Pedroso’s home, we ate a typical breakfast of bread, cheese and meat with our sweet strong coffee. We partially filled the cup with coffee before adding warm milk. Knowing how much Susan and I liked the rice cake dessert served the previous evening, the hostess served the leftover dessert for breakfast. Our tour started in Reserva at the “LoJa Do 1,50” store owned by Ednir. We likened it to a dollar store or similar discount store that carries numerous Chinese products. From there, we visited a hobby farm where the family kept 20 sows to raise piglets for roasting on a spit. Wild pigs are a problem for Brazilian farmers

just as timberwolves cause problems for northern Minnesota farmers. A domestic sow (porco) crossed with a wild boar (javali) produces a javaporco. A wild boar (captured in a hunting cage) produces better quality meat with less fat. Visiting Miguel’s farm site was like the main course of a banquet. Because of wet fields, he was able to spend time answering our questions on a sunny morning. He uses a narrow-row precision notill planter with a bulk fertilizer box and individual seed boxes. Two older John Deere combines and a newer John Deere rotary combine stood ready for harvest. You could tell he was partial to green combines, but he didn’t mind having red and blue tractors — New Holland and Case — to do the other farm work. See BRAZIL, pg. 12

By CAROLYN VAN LOH The Land Correspondent When my husband, Dave, and I were planning a trip to visit his brother Paul and sister-in-law Susan in southern Brazil, I suggested we tour a farm. Like all farmers, we are interested in learning how farmers in other countries produce their crops. Paul and Susan live in Curitiba, capital of the state of Parana, where he pastors a church. Nercy and her husband, Adir, who attend that church, arranged a visit for Feb. 20-21 with Nercy’s cousin Ednir and his wife Matilde Pedroso who live near Reserva, population 32,000. The city celebrates its heritage each year on March 26 with the theme “tomato capital of Parana.” This year marks the city’s 94th year as an independent municipality. Adir led the way in his Chevy S-10 pickup, similar to a Chevy Colorado in the states. His passengers were Nercy, their daughter Tatiane, her husband Lui, and son Murillo. We rode with Paul and Susan in their PT Cruiser. The three-hour drive west into the interior of Parana took us from Curitiba city streets to a four-lane toll road, two-lane highways, and narrow country roads. Large fields of corn and soybeans in varying stages of development stretched across rolling hills that reminded us of Tennessee. We saw a combine harvesting corn in one field, while other fields were in varying stages of maturity. Some soybean fields were nearly ready to harvest, but others were still green. It was dark when we arrived at the Pedroso’s home. More than a dozen family members gathered to spend the evening with us four Americans. After indulging in an abundance of food that included Brazilian beans and rice, the family did what families do when they get together: talk and enjoy each other’s company. Five-year-old Murillo sucked on his pacifier while playing an electronic device when he wasn’t running around with cousins. I’m thankful Paul grew up on a farm so he understood the nature of questions we asked him to translate into Portuguese as we got acquainted with Miguel Taborda, who farms 500 hectares (about 1,000 acres), what he said was a medium-size farm. His wife, Cristina, is a niece of Ednir. As the young

Corn is planted in August and is sometimes harvested at 25 percent moisture in February so the next crop

can be planted. This year may be different because of frequent rains after our visit. Soybeans are planted in October and harvested in March and April. Miguel rotates soybeans, edible beans, corn and wheat. When we walked into a soybean field for a photo, we noticed that the plants were loaded with four-bean pods. Dave estimated a 100-bushel-peracre yield at that spot of the field. Miguel and his sister both studied agronomy at nearby University of Ponto

Grossa. Family members work together to harvest their fields before Miguel begins custom combining for neighbors. We discovered that Brazilian farmers fertilize and provide nutrients for growing crops in ways similar to ours, and their expected yields are similar. There is a limited program for federal crop insurance, but it’s administered on a first-come-first-served basis. Miguel forward contracts a portion of the expected crop every month.

We experienced gracious rural hospitality and learned much about farm practices during our less than 24-hour visit to Miguel’s farm. It was amazing the wealth of information we acquired even though we couldn’t speak directly to each other.

Wannaska, Minn. Andy Pulk is playing the waiting game, with sunflowers still needing to be planted. He’s waiting for the ground to finally dry out from over four inches of rain, two inches of that falling on May 7. “I’m hoping this weekend we can start doing some field work,” Pulk told The Land on May 21. With that much rain, he said “all the rivers went to basically flood stage.”

There was also “some overland flooding (but) the river levels are starting to level off and drop,” said Pulk. On the evening of May 18, the temperature dropped all the way to 27 F; the following morning the farm had some snow. “We haven’t had any emergence yet,” he said, but “by this weekend we’ll see some emergence.” With crops still needing to be planted and those that are planted still needing to emerge, a good forecast is much needed — “Hopefully the weather straightens out.”

The Lees McIntosh, Minn. With three inches of rain in about a week, Joan Lee is ready to get back in the field. On May 21 she was looking to get some soybeans planted; she’ll be planting both organic and conventional beans this year. While Lee still has beans to plant, she said

that “most farmers around here have been done for quite a while.” Once beans are in the ground, her focus will be on hay — “The first part of June, we’ll be able to hay organically again.” Three years ago a co-op accidentally sprayed their organic field, and it takes three years to get it certified again. “Seems like things are going pretty well,” Lee said, of things overall. “Just waiting for the sun and warmth now.”

The Haarstads Rothsay, Minn. The rain was abundant on the Haarstad farm these past two weeks. “Four to five inches fell in the past two weeks or so,” Lee Haarstad told The Land on May 22. Even with that amount of moisture, the field conditions “were not as bad as I’d thought it would be,” he said. Haarstad is back in the field custom spraying for a neighbor for wheat and spraying a few acres of no-till beans; he hates dandelions. He said he would start side dressing corn

that night or the next morning. Along with wet weather, the crops had to endure frost. “We had some frost damage on corn and soybeans,” said Haarstad. “They took a pretty good burning.” He’s concerned that it will hurt the stand, which could possibly hurt the yield, but doesn’t foresee any replant. With cold weather hopefully a thing of the past, he said the bottom line is that his crops “need more sunshine.”

When The Land spoke with Filzen on May 21 he was going to begin planting navy beans. “We had about three inches (of rain) in about a week,” he said, but with the fields drying out he’d be spraying sugar beets the next day. The crops in the ground are showing the

effects of the rain and wind. “The corn looks kind of wind-torn and yellow,” said Filzen, but warmer weather “should straighten things out.” Overall, he said most of the corn has good stand and the soybeans are “looking pretty good.” The sugar beets are “kind of torn up from the wind,” Filzen said, but still “look decent.”

The Thorpes Canby, Minn. Crops are growing and the rain is falling on the Thorpe farm. The Land spoke with Nathan Thorpe on May 14 in the middle of all that precipitation. The previous few days’ rainfall totalled two and a half inches, with more in the forecast. “Emergence is looking

good; my crop is all out of the ground,” Thorpe said of his corn, even though all of the rain had made it a little tough-looking. He noted that “some sunshine will cure that,” but he’d also observed “lots of wind damage on the corn.” Thorpe expects that “probably in about a week we’ll be out spraying,” and haying will likely be done around Memorial Day weekend. “It’s been a good start to the growing season,” he said.

Unpredictability is the only way to describe the livestock markets these days. The cattle market has especially been one that has been the most unpredictable while the hog market appears to be the more steady in finding direction at the present time. The cash cattle market and the futures market most definitely have different ideas on the current and future direction of live cattle prices. This continues to express the difference between supply and demand outlooks into the next several months. The current situation is that there continues to be a tight supply of cattle, while the demand for beef continJOE TEALE ues to shrink as the price elevates.

Packer margins are tight at times, despite the fact that the beef cutout is at all-time highs. Part of the problem is the bird flu epidemic has put retailers in a position to buy more red meat to replace the tightening availability of poultry. The weight of cattle remains well above last year which is offsetting the fewer numbers of animals. This, in turn, has made up in tonnage of beef produced to nearly equal last year’s production. Therefore, as demand shrinks because of the high price of beef, and numbers once again begin to increase, cattle prices are not likely to advance but remain at these levels or possibly even decline. Although the bird flu epidemic may hold prices in the near term, the high in live cattle prices made last October look

The following market analysis is for the week ending May 22. CORN — Another week of limited news for the corn market. Any support was gleaned from the wheat market, which rallied on concerns of hard red winter quality due to excessive rain mainly in Texas and Oklahoma. A weak close heading into the long Memorial Day weekend came at the hands of a surge higher in the U.S. dollar and profit-taking. Corn movement picked up as bushels headed to elevators and ethanol plants, but selling was still described as limited. The crop has gone into the PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. ground in a timely fashion and, in St. Paul general, weather and weather forecasts have been kind to crop development. Corn planting is expected to hit 90-92 percent by May 24 when the average is 88 percent complete. After the Memorial Day holiday, we’ll get our first look at crop ratings for the year. The five-year average first rating is 69 percent good to excellent. The highest first rating was in 1986 at 81 percent good to excellent and last year we started out at 76 percent good to excellent. China imported 605.4 million metric tons of dried distillers’ grains in April, the most in the last seven months. This is impressive, but it’s 1.3 percent less than a year ago. From January through April 2015, China’s DDG imports are down 50 percent from a year ago. For corn, China imported 140,000.8 metric tons in April, up 53.3 percent from a year ago. Ukraine has captured 85 percent of China’s corn imports in the first four months of 2015. There are

Soybeans set contract lows as planting goes well NYSTROM, from pg. 15 rumors that China may toughen the approval process for genetically modified organism corn varieties. With heavy sales of U.S. sorghum into China this year, there is chatter that more stringent inspection of imports by China may slow down this business. China is projected to import nine mmt of sorghum this year with most of it coming from the United States. Corn exports continue to be somewhat of a good surprise. Old crop sales were 32 million bushels, bringing total commitments to nearly 1.7 billion bushels. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is projecting exports of 1.825 billion for the year. However, total year on year sales are running six percent behind last year when the USDA is forecasting a 4.7 percent decline. We still have to wonder if the USDA wasn’t premature in raising exports 25 million on the last update. Interesting, and depressing, that new crop corn

sales are on par with new crop sorghum sales. Growers are believed to be way behind this year on pricing new crop bushels, which goes along with poor new crop export sales. Producers will be looking for rallies to play catch up, or will old crop bushels be carried into new crop at a higher percentage rate than usual? If so, new crop bushels may be pushed into the pipeline during harvest. A study done by the University of Illinois suggests that the 166.8 bushels per acre yield estimate used by the USDA for 2015-16 is realistic, and could be 12 bu./acre low. Without a negative weather event, it may be difficult to build a bullish scenario this summer.

down. U.S. numbers were mixed. China’s crush margins are moving into the red. U.S. weekly export sales were in line with estimates for old crop and disappointing for new crop. Old crop sales were 6.1 million bushels and we only need 1.5 million bushels per week to hit the USDA 1.8 billion bushel export forecast. Total old crop commitments stand at 1.8 billion bushels, but there will be some rollover into new crop. The rollover usually averages around 50-60 million bushels. New crop sales commitments are only 165 million bushels compared to 315 million bushels on the books last year at this time. Estimates for South American production continue to rise. The Argentine government raised their estimate by 1 mmt from 59 mmt to 60 mmt. The USDA’s latest number was 58.5 mmt. In Brazil, Agroconsult bumped up its soybean estimate slightly from 95.8 mmt to 96.1 mmt. U.S. soybean planting was 45 percent complete as of May 17 and is expected to jump to 60-65 percent by May 24. ❖

she expects interest rates to increase this year if the economy meets forecasts. SOYBEANS — Soybeans set new contract lows as we headed into the long weekend as growing and planting conditions improve and South America increases their crop estimates. One lingering supportive factor is the strike in Argentina. The crushing plant workers are still on strike after most everyone else settled with a 27 percent wage increase earlier in the week. Argentina’s largest union, which includes dockworkers at the Rosario port, is now threatening to strike June 1 if an agreement is not reached. If they strike, trucks and trains will be stopped from delivering into Rosario, which accounts for 80 percent of Argentina’s grain and soy exports. A vessel also ran aground in Argentina this week due to low water, which suggests monitoring to determine if it will cause loading delays.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced the June Federal order Class I base milk price Wednesday at $16.14 per hundredweight, up 31 cents from May but $6.72 below June 2014, and equates to about $1.39 per gallon. The six month average stands at $16.31, down from $23.02 in 2014 National Dairy Products Sales Report and compares to $18.22 in 2013. The NDPSR-surveyed butter price average used to calculate the Class I value was $1.8462 per pound, up 10.8 cents from May. Nonfat dry milk averaged 94.89 cents per pound, down 2.2 cents. The cheese price average was $1.6520, up 3.8 cents, and dry whey averaged 44.43 cents per pound, down 1.6 cents. Cash dairy prices at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange entered the Memorial Day Weekend relatively strong as product, particularly cheese, made its way to Chicago. Block Cheddar cheese closed Friday at $1.65 per pound, up 3 cents on the week, the highest level since Dec. 4, 2014, but 37 cents below a year ago. The Cheddar barrels rolled out the week at $1.62, down a quarter-cent and 40 cents below a year ago. Thirteen cars of block and 19 of barrel traded hands on the week. The NDPSR-surveyed U.S. average block price hit $1.6271, up 1.4 cents, and the barrels averaged $1.6669, up 0.1 cent. ■ Milk volumes being utilized by many Midwest cheese plants have reached all time high levels for this year, even up from recent weeks which have had high volumes, reports Dairy Market News. In the Central region and Wisconsin in particular, the volume of milk reaching cheese plants has resulted some running seven days a week every other week to keep up. Surplus milk was being shopped around at prices reaching $4.00 below Class midweek and $5.00 below Class over the holiday weekend. Surplus milk is already being shopped for delivery in June, also $5.00 under Class for multiple loads. Some of the surplus milk is resulting not only from the flush, but from the ending of school year fluid milk contracts, which leaves processors with milk to find other customers for. This may counterbalance the impact on cheese plant milk availability of any decline in milk production in coming weeks. In part of the region, surplus milk is reportedly being dumped because no buyers can be found,

according to Dairy Market News. ■ In politics, the U.S. Dairy Export Council and the National Milk Producers Federation warned this week in a joint press release that “American dairy products headed to Canada and Mexico could face stiffer tariffs and ultimately, reach fewer foreign customers unless Congress repeals Country of Origin Labeling requirements for meat products that violate international trade rules.” They spell out that “Under the World Trade Organization ruling announced May 18, “Canada and Mexico are entitled to retaliate against U.S. exports, and that could well include higher tariffs on U.S. dairy products,” said Jim Mulhern, NMPF president and CEO. He noted that Canada has already indicated it will target the U.S. dairy industry, while Mexico retaliated against U.S. dairy products in a past NAFTA finding against the United States. “America’s dairy farmers should not suffer collateral damage as a consequence of our COOL policy. The U.S. government needs to rectify this situation before we lose any export customers,” Mulhern said. “Mexico is our largest export market, and Canada is also a significant destination for U.S. dairy products,” said Tom Suber, president of USDEC. “At a time of softer global dairy demand, we need to be focused on ensuring we keep exports moving and doing all we can to avoid new roadblocks from being put in our exporters’ paths.” The World Trade Organization will finalize by the end of May the recent decision faulting U.S. COOL requirements, after which Canada and Mexico can formally request permission to retaliate against the United States. ■ USDA’s monthly Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry Outlook, issued May 12, offered its first preview of 2016. The Outlook reported that milk production was lower than expected for the first quarter of 2015. Milk cow numbers were revised downward to 9.306 million head for both January and February. Feed price forecasts for 2015-16 are expected to be: $3.20-$3.80 per bushel for corn and $305-$345 per short ton for soybean meal. Lee Mielke is a syndicated columnist who resides in Everson, Wash.

Double Fern Leaf Peony is the earliest bloomer of the peonies and is usually showing off its lipstick red inflorescence by Memorial Day. The plants resemble bloodshot green eyeballs when they emerge in the spring. The foliage is different from the familiar garden peonies. It is IN THE GARDEN feathery and looks just like the leaves of cosmos plants. By Sharon Quale An established clump can produce 30 or more blossoms and each develops from a single stem giving the illusion of a frilly scarlet bouquet. It is a rare gem of a plant and is expensive and somewhat hard to find. It is difficult to propagate and slow to reach blooming size so many nurseries don’t bother growing it. The plant is shorter than regular peonies growing only 15 to 20 inches tall. Once established Fern Leaf Peonies are incredibly hardy and will last for years. Our clump is 15 years old and I divided it for the first time last fall. The tubers resemble large garlic cloves in size and are easy to separate. Early spring or fall is a good time to divide them. In fall it should be done as the leaves are going dormant. Pick a garden spot that will get at least six hours of sun a day. It is important to have the top of the roots only 1.5 to 2 inches below the soil surface. They will not bloom if planted too deeply. Good drainage is also essential. It is wise to remove the foliage in the fall after the first hard frost to eliminate disease that might overwinter. I shared some tubers with my gardening friends last spring and several said they thought they had killed the plant because the foliage turned brown. It is not unusual for the tuber to be dormant in the ground for an entire season and then spring to life. So mark the spot where it was planted and don’t disturb that site. My grandmother said “pinies” when talking about peony plants. Depending upon the area of the country pronunciation varies. Pee-oh-nee is a commonly heard pronunciation, pee-a-nee is also considered correct. Many folks have fond memories of their grandmother’s peonies. Chances are good that decades later those plants are still blooming. Peonies are considered a symbol of remembrance and are frequently planted in cemeteries since they are so long-lived. Fern Leaf Peony (Paeonia tenuifolia) is a gem of a plant because of its rarity, unique beauty and longevity. It blooms around Memorial Day when many other herbaceous perennials are not even in bud yet. Peonies thrive in our cold north and need winter dormancy to flourish. Southern gardeners look with envy at our peonies. If you have gardening friends willing to share some of these plants by all means accept them. If you would like to grow Fern Leaf Peonies and don’t know where to buy them, send me an e-mail and I will reply with some sources that have them for sale.
