Horseshoe pitching champion Sig Armitage is...
By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent July was a big month for Sig Armitage of Canby, Minn. He participated in the National Senior Games (held in Bloomington, Minn., this year), an Olympic-style event for elder athletes, and he was qualified to pitch in the National Horseshoe Pitchers Association World Tournament in Topeka, Kansas. But it is doubtful that either gave this former farmer more satisfaction than he got in 2014 when he was inducted into the Sig Armitage Minnesota Gopher State Horseshoe Pitchers Association’s Hall of Fame. He had been a MGSHPA member for 30 years and won numerous tournaments, and Hall of Fame recognition was a sweet reward. Armitage was nominated by his doubles partner, Bob Knudtson of Brooklyn Park, Minn., who was already a member of the Hall of Fame. Armitage was the 40th horseshoe pitcher to be inducted since the Hall of Fame started in 1969. When Armitage turned 70 and moved into the Elders division, his success grew even more. He has won the Elders Singles Championship three years in a row and with Knudtson the Elders Double Championship three years in a row. Last year he won the gold medal in his age bracket at the Minnesota Seniors Games, where he threw 86.66 percent ringers. That qualified him for the National Senior Games this summer. At 76, Armitage still has some things he wants to accomplish, but he expects it to get tougher as See RINGER, pg. 20
Thank you, readers!

judge, then the “remedy for misleading speech, or speech we do not like, is more speech, not enforced silence.” In short, Winmill noted, citing an earlier precedent, “‘Society has the right and civic duty to engage in open, dynamic, rational discourse. These ends are not well served when the government seeks to orchestrate public discussions through content-based mandates.’” Roger McEowen, director of Iowa State University’s Center for Law and Taxation and an attorney, strongly disagrees with the Idaho decision. Still, McEowen concedes, the decision stands unless overturned on appeal, a long shot at best. Also, it may encourage challenges to other state ag gag laws. Many of those laws, he guesses, will withstand challenge because they differ with Idaho’s just-tossed law. Legal challenge or not, the decision’s central point remains: If American farmers and ranchers hope to build more trust with consumers — as all swear they do — they need to shed more light on their farming and ranching practices, not more darkness.

To the Editor: This is in response to Alan Guebert’s column published July 31 blaming agriculture for the nitrates in the water in Iowa. (Editor’s note: The column is also available at The Land’s website — www.TheLandOnline.com.) Mr. Guebert, did you know Des Moines had elevated levels of nitrates in the river in the 1940s long before farmers were using commercial fertilizers? Did you know that after Des
Moines removes these “dangerous nitrates” that they dump them back into the river downstream? Did you know that many waste treatment plants convert ammonia to nitrates? So is it a wonder that nitrate levels are increasing in the river? Your turn, Mr. Guebert. Let’s tell the whole story if you really want to solve the problem. Greg Mikkelson Lake Crystal, Minn.

Letter: Alan Guebert not telling the whole story
‘You always make us think’ WOOD, from pg. 2 prairie. I got to hold a psalter, a liturgical book of psalms from the old country. “Farm and Food File” columnist Alan Guebert wrapped up the show, making The Land’s Farmfest booth a stop on his national book tour. Many readers shook his hand and
bought his book. One reader told him that even when he didn’t agree, the column always made him think. I could say the same about our readers. You always make us think. Thank you. Marie Wood is the associate editor of The Land. She may be reached at mwood@TheLandOnline.com. ❖

The Pulks Wannaska, Minn. Wheat harvest has just begun for Andy Pulk, and so far he likes what he sees. When The Land spoke with Pulk Aug. 14 he said he expects “yields will be above expectation.” He started harvesting the day prior, and figures it will take a week to complete — “I’ve got 1,400 acres to wipe out.” Pulk will get some additional help with the wheat; his brother-in-law will be lending a hand. Meanwhile, “The soybeans are doing good,” he
said. “Everything has been sprayed for the final time.” The sunflowers are in full bloom and are “being pollinated by bees.” The corn is currently in the sweet corn stage, which would make the crop on-schedule for a normal harvest date. “The biggest thing on our plate is to get the wheat off,” said Pulk. “It’s the culmination of what you’ve been waiting for all year.”
The Lees McIntosh, Minn. While Joan Lee is off enjoying the wonders of Ireland on the Minnesota Agriculture and Rural Leadership alumni trip, The Land interviewed Joan’s husband, Mark Lee, on Aug. 17. The rain that fell on the Lee farm Aug. 13 was a much welcomed sight. They received a little over an inch, but the crops could use even more. “The corn is starting to get a little bit dry,” Lee said. The same thing can be said for the soybeans —
“They are really burning up.” Lee estimates that in certain areas of the field, beans that would have yielded 40 bushels per acre will now only produce 10. They finished wheat harvest Aug. 16 — “probably the best wheat I’ve ever had.” With 48 bushels per acre, Lee is pleased with the results. Overall for the crops, he said, “In the heavier soil, everything looks pretty good.”
The Haarstads Rothsay, Minn. “Things are looking really good.” John Haarstad spoke with The Land on Aug. 14 and was pleased with the condition of his crops. “The corn is really good; it’s on pace to grow a good crop.” Nothing exceptional, he noted, but solid. Meanwhile, the soybeans are “bushy and have nice green color still.” As for the aphids, “I think we’ve
turned the corner,” said Haarstad. He feels fortunate to not have had much hot weather this summer, with the exception of the past few days. Haarstad is continuing to prep equipment for harvest, and is also keeping busy cleaning signs at the sign shop. “We’re happy with where we’re at,” he said, although he knows that “harvest will tell us how we did, and how much Mother Nature did for us.”
The Froemmings Garfield, Minn. Wheat harvest is in full swing on the Froemming farm. Speaking with The Land Aug. 14, Rodney Froemming estimated that “we’ve got two days left (of harvest). It’s the best wheat I’ve ever grown,” he said. Bushels-per-acre yields have been in the 60s, with some top wheat up into the 70s. He was also working on third crop hay this day.
According to Froemming, the crops haven’t been stressed at all this summer. The corn is looking “excellent,” and the soybeans also “look like an excellent crop.” Most of the bean plants are already filled. Planting of the rye crop will happen around the first of September.
The Filzens Renville, Minn. When The Land spoke with Dale Filzen Aug. 16 he was hoping the rain would quit missing his fields and finally provide some needed precipitation. “The soybeans need a drink,” he said. “You can really see the high grounds starting to suffer.” There was a pretty good chance of rain this week, which was music to Filzen’s ears. “The corn looks pretty good,” he said, and there’s “a lot of yellow in the navy bean field.” Filzen estimated
they’re a week to 10 days ahead of normal, which he attributes to “good growing conditions.” He plans on spraying his navy beans in about 10 days, meaning it would be a couple weeks before harvest. In the meantime, Filzen has two bins left to empty out and is getting harvest equipment ready to go. Even though they’re a little short on moisture, “I’d say it still looks real good.”

He’ll also take some to report that two inches of rain had fallen that time before school starts day. The soybeans are enjoying the moisture — again and harvest begins for Thorpe called the beans “excellent.” While a family vacation to Yellowstone. Going on this aphids have “definitely moved in” to his Minnesota ground, they have not been a problem adventure and making memories with the family is the perfect way to end the summer for Thorpe. on his South Dakota fields. Thorpe believes the corn should be a great crop this year. “In the next
The Pagels Winthrop, Minn. “I was a little concerned until yesterday but we got an inch of rain,” Delayne Pagel told The Land Aug. 7. He was happy for the precipitation that fell, but wouldn’t mind another shot. “The corn looks real good,” said Pagel, and the soybeans have really come around. He was waiting for a plane to come and spray for aphids.
The wheat harvest is done. Pagel began harvest at the end of July and it took a couple days to complete. “Can’t complain on wheat,” he said. Pagel’s wheat averaged 80 bu/acre. As far as the kidney beans go, he sprayed last week for white mold — “It’s hopefully the last time I have to spray.” — and they’ve taken “a little bit of a yield hit” due to all the heat. Pagel is hopeful the rain will help. Some tiling and getting ready for fall will be on his to-do list in the next two weeks.
The Marbles Mapleton, Minn. “I don’t think I can have it any better.” That was Harlan Marble’s sentiment when The Land spoke with him Aug. 9. The crops are thriving even with no rain so far in August on his farm. Marble said the corn is “doing great” — he counted 14 rows around and 38 kernels long in a cob he looked at in one of his fields. The soybeans are
still blossoming. Marble observed pods from the ground all the way to the top, with the plants around 38 inches tall. The beans were sprayed last week for aphids; none have been spotted since then. With the crops doing well, Marble is focusing on harvest. He decided to refurbish his 25-year-old corn head instead of buying new. He estimates that it should take about five solid days to do the job. Marble will also be cleaning the barn to make way for 4,000 pigs arriving sometime next week.

The Kemps Sibley, Iowa “Things are looking good here,” Brian Kemp told The Land Aug. 7. “We’ve gotten nicely timed rains.” Along with the rain, the weather has been kind to their crops. “We’ve not had the horribly hot and stressful days,” said Kemp. The corn is looking good and has “pollinated well.” The soybeans have “a lot of pods on them,” Kemp said, although he noted that they’re starting to see some water hemp out there. Even with that
concern, he said “They’re the cleanest fields though I’ve ever seen.”

different from other recoveries,” he said. “It’s been much slower, more shallow and it continues to be very fragile which will be why the Fed Reserve is cautious about interest rates ahead.” When it comes to land purchases amongst AgStar customers, Hebrink indicated that 80 percent of purchases have been by farmers as opposed to investors. “Investors are much more cautious,” he said. “With recent profits in farming it was only logical that farmers would see these opportunities. However those record-setting prices that got into the news were usually on an 80 acre next door parcel. We’ve seen some softening in land prices recently particularly with more marginal properties and that likely will continue for the near term.” AgStar Financial Services, headquartered in Mankato, Minn., is a cooperative owned by over 23,000 client-shareholders in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

That is unprecedented,” Hebrink said. “So interest rates will start nudging up but it will be modest is our expectation.” He added that the U.S. economy is still weak but the dollar is strong. Rising interest rates will only make the dollar stronger relative to other currencies. “That creates a lot of head winds for the economy. This recovery has been

Minnesota flavors, simple meals for busy cooks Cookbook Corner
By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent In 1981, a Minneapolis schoolteacher who moonlighted as a cooking class instructor penned a cookbook that was not only cute but also was wall-towall with useful, delicious recipes that were aimed at busy cooks without a lot of time on their hands — aimed at women who considered cooking a labor of love, with emphasis on the labor (groan). Betty Malisow came to the rescue with “Recipes From Minnesota With Love…”, featuring simple, Minnesota-themed meals with fresh food and ingredients most cooks have on hand. These relatively easy recipes hearken back to a time when processed and packaged foods were less available and less popular, when people generally bought fresh, whole vegetables and meats and cut them up and put them in a pan instead of defrosting somebody else’s corporate recipe in a TV dinner. Convenience, however, has always been a popular concept in the kitchen, so many recipes were short-

The Johnson clan gives four out of four ‘yums’ to Blueberry Wild Rice Breakfast ies that could be prepped quickly and easily. Have fun with these selections. ■ After enjoying something similar to the next recipe at Hell’s Kitchen in Minneapolis, we were eager to give Blueberry Wild Rice Breakfast a taste test. Although we found it to be laughably “traditional” (white sugar and dairy products were not available in pre-colonial America due to the lack of sugar refineries and cows), the wild rice and blueberries definitely fit the traditional bill and tasted heavenly together with that creamy half-and-half on top. We tried one bowl cold and one bowl warmed in the microwave, and preferred the warm version by a small margin. Four out of four yums from the Johnson clan! Blueberry Wild Rice Breakfast — “A traditional Indian breakfast”

2 servings 1 cup cooked wild rice 1⁄2 cup blueberries 2 teaspoons sugar 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg 1⁄2 cup cream Spoon wild rice and blueberries into two soup bowls. Sprinkle with sugar and nutmeg. Pour cream over and serve. ■ When you want a soup that’s not too heavy, perhaps a little sweet with your salty … try Curried Carrot Soup, which gives a starring role to a traditional understudy, the carrot. Carrots are amazing when pureed, mixed with cream and lightly seasoned. This version allows you to add as much (or as little) curry as you like (or dislike).
Curried Carrot Soup 6 servings 2 ounces butter 1 pound carrots, peeled and chopped 1 large onion, chopped 3 1⁄2 cups beef stock Salt and pepper 2 to 3 teaspoons curry powder Chopped fresh parsley Melt butter and add carrots and onion.

Add curry to taste. Let simmer 15 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley before serving. See COOKBOOK, pg. 15

Freezing tomatoes is a great option when you are short of time and energy or you are “tomatoed-out”! To freeze tomatoes, dip them in boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute to easily remove the skins. Core and peel. You can quarter, chop, or puree the tomatoes in a food processor. Put into a freezer bag or container, leave 1 inch headspace, seal and freeze. Tomatoes can be frozen raw or cooked. For convenience, freeze blended raw tomatoes in ice cube trays. Store cubes in a bag and take out as many as you need. Freeze tomato sauce as a base for many recipes. Wash, core, quarter and seed tomatoes (peel or not peel). Cook until soft. Stir often to prevent sticking. Puree in food processor or food mill. Simmer until reduced by half. Cool and freeze. For best results, season tomatoes before serving rather than before freezing. Freezing may change the flavor of garlic, onion and herbs. Remember that your freezer, to maintain quality frozen food, should be at 0°F or lower. Drying tomatoes Even if we can’t “sun-dry” in Minnesotas’s humind summers, we can dry tomatoes in a food dehydrator or oven. Plum or paste tomato varieties like Roma or Viva Italian work best. Slice tomatoes with no blemishes about half inch thick and dry until leathery, but still pliable and not sticky. Tomatoes can be dried with skins on or removed. Store dried fruits in a glass jar in a cool (60 F) dry, dark area for up to one year. This article was submitted by the University of Minnesota Extension.

Lemon-yellow daisy wonderful in hot, sunny garden

speaks the phrases “He loves me, he loves me not” while picking one petal off a flower for each phrase. The phrase they speak while picking off the last petal supposedly represents the truth between the object of their affection loving them or not. (The player is motivated by attraction to the person they are thinking of while reciting the phrases.) The Golden Marguerite works great for this game and young kids visiting our gardens are invited to pick a daisy and pull off the petals. Usually they go through about five flowers each which is fine since the plant has an abundance of blooms. I’ve heard that another version of the game uses the phrases “He loves me, he
loves me lots.” One issue some gardeners have with this plant is its ability to reseed and try to populate an area with its offspring. This is easily controlled by dead heading (cutting off the spent blooms) before the seeds ripen and fall to the ground or by hoeing out the young seedlings in early spring. It is a great plant to use in prairie gardens or natural areas when reseeding is welcome and considered to be an attribute. Propagation is by division or seeding. Daisies are from the Asteraceae plant family and have been around for cen-

Hot and sunny gardens are stunning with their vibrant colors and high level of visual energy. An underused plant, Anthemis, commonly called Golden Marguerite Daisy, is a IN THE GARDEN perennial that By Sharon Quale tolerates hot, dry locations and blooms from early summer to fall. It produces the loveliest of lemon-yellow flowers. My first start of this plant came from my mother, Eva Schroeder. She was a garden columnist who wrote for several publications in the Midwest and maintained a destination garden, Chapel Gardens in Eagle Bend, Minn., that was primarily filled with roses. If any of you readers remember my mother’s columns or have visited the gardens I would love to hear from you. The stats on the Golden Marguerite include: height – 2 feet; spread — 2 feet; foliage — gray green; planting — full sun Examining this daisy closely or looking at a macro photo, it appears as though the center is a cluster of tiny lemon drop candies. The actual size of the individual blossom is in line with the size of a quarter. It deserves close inspection to reveal the exquisite shape and texture. Children often learn to draw a daisy as their first flower art because it has such a simple, classic shape.

Grain Outlook Crop numbers shock market The following market analysis is for the week ending Aug. 14. CORN — The market was shocked this week when the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s crop numbers were much higher than anticipated. Anything that led up to the report was quickly forgotten. Starting with the 2014-15 balance sheet, imports were raised by 3 million bushels and Feed, Seed & Industrial increased by 9 million bushels. Ending stocks were down 7 million bushels to 1.772 billion bushels. The upward crop size revisions PHYLLIS NYSTROM for both 2015-16 corn and soyCHS Hedging Inc. beans were the largest deviaSt. Paul tions from estimates ever recorded. The 2015-16 corn crop at 13.686 billion bushels was 359 million bushels over the pre-report estimate and 156 million bushels above the July USDA forecast. On the 2015-16 balance sheet, planted acres found 100,000 acres for 89.0 million planted acres. Harvested acres were unchanged at 81.1 million acres. The yield was a huge surprise as it gained 2.0 bushels per acre to 168.8 bu./acre, resulting in a crop of 13.686 billion bushels! The range of yield forecasts was only from 160.4 to 167.5 bu./acre. If realized, this would be the second-largest U.S. corn yield ever and the third biggest U.S. corn crop. Minnesota’s corn yield was estimated at a record 184 bu./acre (156 last year), Illinois bu./acre (188), and Nebraska a record 187 bu./acre (179).

Livestock Angles Roller coaster ride continues
Grain Angles The role of spec funds
The livestock markets seem to continue their roller coaster rides. The interesting fact is that for the past several months this roller coaster ride that both the cattle and hogs have been in are still in the same ever so slightly declining trading ranges that they have been in for several months. The cattle market has seen the struggle between supply and demand continue into the month of August. There has been little change in either the supply of cattle, which continues to remain tight, or the demand for beef that remains well below years past. From a supply point of view, the number of cattle is not JOE TEALE Broker expected to increase for several more months. However, consider- Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. ing the weight at which cattle are currently being slaughtered, this increased weight is offsetting the decrease in cattle to some degree. From the demand side, the past few months of cold storage reports have indicated more beef in storage each month than analysts had anticipated. This could be because of the increased weights or more likely the weaker demand as reflected in the reduced boxed beef trade. With the U.S. dollar continuing to climb against foreign currencies, the likelihood of increasing the export business seems remote at this time. A further complication on the demand side of the equation. It would not appear at this time that the trading range that has developed over the past numerous months will be penetrated in either direction for a
We are now entering into August with much of the corn crop pollinated and beans setting pods. Weather in Minnesota and Wisconsin — for the most part — has cooperated, resulting in excellent looking crops. The Eastern Corn Belt has been struggling with excessive moisture and there is great disparity between our backyard (West of the Mississippi) excluding some states like Wisconsin and conditions in the eastern Corn Belt.

Beans ‘slice’ support levels on bearish numbers this coming week on the Pro Farmer Midwest Crop Tour and their yield findings. Their final numbers will be released on Aug. 20. SOYBEANS — Soybeans briefly touched their 70 cent limit lower on report day at $9.07 1⁄4 per bushel as it sliced through support levels on bearish crop numbers. The USDA increased the 2015-16 soybean production forecast to 3.916 billion bushels, up 31 million bushels from their July projection and 192 million bushels higher than the average trade estimate. The difference between the trade estimate and the actual number was more than twice the record deviation.

Breaking down the report, ending stocks were raised 45 million bushels from 425 million to 470 million bushels when the market was expecting a decline to 301 million bushels. The yield was also increased by 0.9 bu./acre from 46.0 to 46.9 bu./acre, the biggest August soybean yield forecast on record and the second largest U.S. yield if proven true. The range of yield projections was only 43.2 to 45.7 bu./acre. The average expectation was for a decline to 44.7 bu./acre. Minnesota’s soybean yield was pegged at a record 48 bu./acre (versus 42 bu./acre last year), Illinois at 53 bu./acre (56 bu./acre), Iowa 52 bu./acre (51.5), Indiana 49 bu./acre (56), and Nebraska a record 56 bu./acre (54). This month’s report included resurveyed acres in three states which resulted in a cut in planted acres of 800,000 acres to 84.3 million acres. Missouri alone accounted for 650,000 of the lost acres. Harvested acres, although reduced by 900,000 acres to 83.5 million acres, are a record. Categorically, the carry-in fell by 15 million bushels when the 2014-15 balance sheet cut crush by
15 million and seed usage by 1 million, and increased residual by 1 million bushels. The 201415 carryout went from 255 million to 240 million bushels. Back to the 2015-16 balance sheet, crush was raised 20 million, exports were cut by 50 million and residual was increased by 2 million bushels. The stocks to use ratio climbed from 11.4 percent in July to 12.6 percent for August. The average farm price slipped by a dime to $8.40-$9.90 per bushel. World soybean ending stocks for 2015-16 fell from 91.8 mmt last month to 86.9 mmt and compared to the average estimate of 89.89 mmt. Both Argentine and Brazilian production were left untouched at 57 mmt and 97 mmt respectively. China’s imports increased by 1.5 mmt to 79 mmt and compared to 77.5 mmt for 2014-15. Brazil’s exports jumped from 50.75 mmt to 54.5 mmt and Argentina’s from 8.7 mmt to 9.75 mmt. In an unexpected move, China devalued their currency a total of 3.5 percent this past week to try and stimulate their economy. China’s devaluation has brought to the surface concerns over China’s economic growth in the short run. A devaluation makes China’s exports more attractive to buyers; however, the devaluation makes imports costlier for China, i.e. soybeans. In the longer term, an easier monetary policy should support their growth. Weekly export sales for old crop were neutral at 3.5 million bushels. Old crop commitments of 1.864 billion bushels fall into the historical range of carrying over 60 million bushels of old crop sales into the next year. The USDA has 201415 sales projected at 1.825 billion bushels. For new crop, weekly sales of 24.3 million bushels were within expectations. Total 2015-16 commitments of 355.6 million bushels continues to trail last year when there were 665 million bushels on the books. Year on year, the USDA is forecasting exports to fall 100 million bushels from 1.825 billion to 1.725 billion bushels. This category will continue to be monitored to see if the USDA has cut 2015-16 exports enough. Soybean crop conditions as of Aug. 9 were unchanged in the good/excellent category at 63 percent, but there was a 1 percent move from good to excellent. The expectation was for a small decline in conditions. OUTLOOK: The July NOPA crush will be released on Aug. 17 with crush estimated at 141.5 million bushels. Comments and numbers from the Midwest Crop Tour this week will be closely watched for signs the USDA may have erred on the upside for this year’s yield. Wetter, cooler conditions are in the current forecast as the heat wave subsides which should make for a good finish to the crop. The next support level in November soybeans is the contract low of $8.95 3⁄4 per bushel with first resistance at $9.54 per bushel. November soybeans plunged 46 3⁄4 cents lower for the week to close at $9.16 1⁄2 per bushel. It traded a wide 95 cent range for the week from $9.96 1⁄2 to $9.01 1⁄2 per bushel. ❖

On the usage side, feed/residual jumped 25 million, FSI was raised 40 million of which ethanol was upped 25 million, and exports were cut by 25 million bushels. The change in exports leaves exports unchanged at 1.85 billion bushels year on year. Ending stocks of 1.713 billion bushels, 114 million bushels higher than the 1.599 billion July projection and widely different than the 1.424 billion bushel trade estimate. The stocks to use ratio went from 11.6 percent to 12.4 percent. The average on-farm price projection fell a dime to $3.35-$3.95 per bushel. The USDA’s outlook for world 2015-16 carryout was 195.1 mmt compared to the average guess of 187.91 mmt and last month’s 189.95 mmt. Brazil’s corn production figure gained 7 mmt to 79 mmt, Argentina’s number was unchanged at 25 mmt, EU’s number fell by 3.5 mmt due to hot, dry conditions, Ukraine production rose 1 mmt and China’s number dropped 4 mmt. Also this week, Conab raised their 2014-15 Brazilian corn crop forecast from 81.8 mmt to 84.3 mmt! The USDA was in line with 84 mmt. Weekly export sales were overall within trade expectations with old crop poor at 1.1 million bushels and new crop good at 19.8 million bushels. Old crop sales commitments are up to 1.856 billion bushels, slightly higher than the 1.85 billion the USDA has dialed in for the year. New crop sales commitments total 200 million bushels, still way below the 336 million we had on the books last year at this time for new crop. The USDA is now projecting 2015-16 exports to be unchanged from the 2014-15 to 2015-16 crop year. Beginning Sept. 1, China will implement a tracking system for imports of dried distillers grains, sorghum, and barley. Imports will be required to have permits and to register purchase details with the government. It is yet to be determined whether this will result in tighter control of imports of these commodities. China was only able to sell about two percent of the reserve corn they offered at auction this week, in line with previous sales this year. Corn conditions as of Aug. 9 were unchanged across the board at 70 percent good/excellent when the trade was anticipating a slight decline. Conditions were the second best in the last five years. Nine percent of the crop was dented versus 15 percent on average. OUTLOOK: December corn pierced support on report day when it bottomed at a new contract low of $3.57 1⁄2, but closed above the double bottom $3.62 1⁄2 support level from June. The contract low will act as first support with resistance at $3.94 per bushel. For the week, December corn dropped 8 1⁄4 cents to close at $3.75 1⁄2 per bushel. It traded a 44 1⁄2 cent range for the week from $4.02 to $3.57 1⁄2 per bushel. The Farm Service Agency will update acreage numbers on Aug. 17. There will also be a strong focus

Horseshow passion began on the farm in 1950s RINGER, from pg. 1 younger pitchers move into the Elders division. The standard horseshoe court is 40 feet. When men turn 70 they join the Elders, who throw from 30 feet. Women and Juniors (ages 13-17) also throw from 30 feet. Cadets (ages 12 and under) throw from 20 feet. Armitage said that when men turn 70, it is common that their percentage of ringers increases, since they move 10 feet closer to the stakes. “My ringer average jumped about 20 percent after I turned 70,” he said. “People 70 and over have the highest average statistically.” Moving to the 30-foot mark means that in some tournaments Elders are competing with women. He was at an invitational tournament in St. Louis earlier this year. The top percentage throwers in the 30-foot division included four women. He said in those four matches, he won two and lost two. Farm pastime For Armitage, this all started on the farm in the 1950s. His father, Harry Armitage, lost his Minnesota farm in the Depression and moved his family to California where they grew grapes. Having recovered financially, he brought the family back to Minnesota and purchased land, giving land to his two older sons, Gerald and Ralph, to start farming. At the time, Sig was still in school, living in Canby with his parents, but every day he and his father would help his brothers on the farm. Two horseshoe stakes were set up beneath two

— Sig Armitage cottonwood trees on Ralph’s farm. Father and sons would pitch horseshoes on their lunch hour. “I liked to play at noon because the more we played the less we were working,” Armitage said. They started out with real horseshoes, the kind horses actually wear. Later a brother purchased two sets of regulation horseshoes. After 60 years, those stakes and cottonwood trees are still there, though they haven’t been used for 30 years. When Armitage graduated from high school, his father gave him 160 acres to start farming. “I farmed for 32 years,” he said. “I quit when I was 49 (and rented out the land) and I’ve been driving school bus ever since.” All that time he was pitching horseshoes, as well as pitching fast-pitch softball and bowling. “All underhand delivery,” he said, where you are trying to throw to one spot. When he quit softball, he got involved in a horseshoe pitching league. Armitage has put serious effort into pitching well. “I throw 12 months of the year and pitch 1,000

shoes a week, often more,” he said. “With practice my average is currently 74 percent ringers and has been the top average in Minnesota for the last four years.” Keeping the sport alive Three years ago he and his wife sold the farm house and built a house in Canby. He set up a 40-foot court in his backyard. He also found room in the basement for a 30-foot court, so he can pitch yearround. This past winter he pitched 18,000 shoes in his basement. When they spend part of the winter in Arizona, he plays in tournaments there. Minnesota’s horseshoe leagues operate during the summer, but horseshoe tournaments are held all year. The town of Upsala, Minn., has indoor courts where winter tournaments take place. MGSHPA lists 24 clubs in the state. Membership numbers in the Association have declined slightly in recent years as some older members are lost and not so many youth have taken up the sport. Armitage tried to remedy that this summer. For the first time he conducted a class in horseshoe pitching in Canby’s summer recreation program. He hopes this introduction will get some youngsters interested. He was part of the effort spearheaded by teammate Curt Olson to build “state of the art” horseshoe courts in Canby, which in June hosted the Best of the West Tournament. While official membership in sanctioned leagues may have declined, there are still numerous nonsanctioned leagues, sometimes called “bar leagues,” that are keeping the sport alive. A ringer July was a very good month for this horseshoe pitcher. At the National Senior Games, his 75-79year-old class was the largest, with 15 contestants from 10 states. When the top eight players squared off in a round robin playoff the second day, Armitage went undefeated and won the gold medal. He finished 12th in the World Tournament last year in New York, and would have been pitching in the top bracket of his division at the World Tournament in Topeka, but he pulled out. “It would have been another 10 days of being gone and six days of pitching,” he said. That was more than he wanted considering he had six tournaments lined up for August, plus league playoffs and the Minnesota State Tournament on Labor Day weekend. “No rest for the wicked,” he said. Or more to the point, for those who just love pitching horseshoes. There may be plenty of casual horseshoe pitching going on around Minnesota, but tournament players take it seriously. “When you’re playing in competition, it’s tough,” Armitage said. “Sometimes it is stressful. We laugh and make jokes beforehand and afterwards, but when we’re playing, it’s business.” For more information, visit the Minnesota Gopher State Horseshoe Pitchers Association website at www.minnesotahorseshoes.com.

Spec funds influence market, adding volume, liquidity The other major group of commodity markets are individuals; many times these are farmers or individual investors. Farmers, of course, are using these markets to reduce risk of rising or falling prices. Corn has fallen about 70 cents in a few short weeks and market volatility is expected to remain high. Using futures and options involves risk much like other types of grain marketing. However understanding who the three major groups of market participants are may help you bet-

LENSING, from pg. 18 funds, use commodities as investments much like those investing in the stock market. Typically these speculative funds are long (buying) futures contracts and it’s common to hold them until they roll their position forward. “Rolling” a position is simply moving their position to a different option month, usually “rolling” (selling a nearby month and buying a deferred month) as time goes by. These funds influence the market greatly, and one of the greatest benefits provided to the market is liquidity and volume. In late July, spec funds actually had the biggest long (bought) position since the drought of 2012. With liquidity and volume, the market becomes much more transparent. Commercials or users of grain and oilseeds depend on this liquidity and volume to hedge their risks as they buy, process, or ship grain.

TEALE, from pg. 18 few more weeks. Therefore, producers should keep abreast of market conditions and protect inventories as warranted. The hog market is an interesting market these days. Hog prices seem to have stabilized in a narrow trading range over the past few weeks. The cash market has been back and forth reflecting the fact that supply and demand are nearly equal on a broad basis, while the futures market reflects the day-today increase or decrease in supply or demand. This has left the overall market very choppy in recent days. In a broader look at the market, hog numbers are expected to increase in the months ahead while demand should remain pretty much on pace with the increasing supplies. From the retail perspective, pork by far is the best value in the meat protein market for consumers at the present time. One look at the disparity between beef prices and pork prices is the main reason for the fairly consistent demand for pork, rather than for beef, over the last several months. Producers should continue to monitor market conditions and use market strength to protect inventories. Too many rely on supply alone to forecast prices, whereas demand is the underlying factor that ultimately determines price in any market. ❖

reflected in all pricing mechanisms. Spot butter hit a new high for 2015, finishing at $2.0650 per pound, besting the May 13 level by a half-cent, up 7.5 cents on the week, but 59.5 cents below a year ago when it shot up 26 cents, to $2.66. Twenty-one carloads traded hands. Butter demand is active from food service for near-term use, according to Dairy Market News. Churners also report some grocery chains placed early orders for the holidays. Western butter production is slowing with most manufacturers selling excess cream. Inventory is at comfortable levels. Consumer demand remains steady. Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed Friday at the record low 69 cents per pound, unchanged on the week and 73 cents below a year ago. Ten cars traded hands this week at the CME. ■ The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report left the 2015 milk production forecast unchanged from last month, but stated that weaker milk prices in late 2015 and 2016 will result in lower production for 2016 than forecast last month. Production and marketings for 2015 were reported at 208.8 billion pounds and 207.8 billion pounds respectively, unchanged from last month’s report in production but down 100 million pounds in marketings. If realized, 2015 production would be up 2.8 billion pounds or 1.4 percent from 2014 and marketings would be up 2.7 billion pounds or 1.3 percent. Production and marketings for 2016 were projected at 213.0 billion pounds and 212.1 billion pounds, down 600 million pounds and 500 million pounds respectively from last month’s projection. If realized, 2016 production would be up 4.2 billion pounds or 2.0 percent from 2015. Milk marketings would be up 4.3 billion pounds or 2.1 percent from 2015. Exports were reduced as competition in world markets is expected to be robust in both 2015 and 2016 and relatively strong domestic demand will likely encourage increased imports. Stocks at the end of 2015 were forecast higher than last month as a result of increased imports and reduced exports. Skim stocks for the end of 2016 were also forecast higher than last month. Larger domestic supplies as a result of increased imports and weaker exports are expected to pressure 2015 product prices. Forecast prices for butter, cheese, nonfat dry milk and whey were lowered. Price forecasts for 2016 for cheese, whey,
and NDM were also reduced. Domestic demand and expectations that milk will flow away from butter and NDM production in 2016, support an increase in the butter price forecast. NDM prices are expected to be pressured by continued competition in global markets. Class III and IV milk price forecasts were reduced for both 2015 and 2016. Look for the 2015 Class III to average around $15.95/cwt., down from the $16.30 projected a month ago and compares to $22.34 in 2014. The 2016 average is put at around $15.95, down from $16.40 expected last month. The 2015 Class IV average is projected at $13.15, down from $13.90 expected a month ago, and compares to the 2014 average of $22.09. The 2016 Class IV is expected to average around $14.05, down from $15.00 projected last month. ■ Meanwhile, there doesn’t appear to be much “silver lining” in the “dark clouds” of global dairy product prices, based on USDA’s latest export data. Cheddar cheese exports were down 55.3 percent from a year ago and total cheese was down 22.3 percent. Butter exports were down 73.5 percent. Nonfat dry milk and skim milk powder was down 23.2 percent, whole milk powder was down 43.5 percent, and dry whey was down 12.9 percent Dairy exports for 2015 started surprisingly well, but June exports fell below 2013 levels, the largest year to year decline since October 2014, according to HighGround Dairy’s Eric Meyer, but it was the fourth consecutive month with exports exceeding 100 million pounds. Meyer stated that, while he expected second half export volumes for cheese and NDM/SMP to begin a downward trend, “June volumes may be indicating an early start to that decline. Both categories broke down a bit from their previous year-to-date averages and help confirm the weakness in the U.S. and global markets. Is this a slight blip or a continuing trend? “Given excess global milk supply, the anticipation of renewed cheese and SMP production in New Zealand this upcoming season and the spread between U.S. and Oceania prices, it is HighGround’s view that export volume losses will continue to accelerate versus the prior year and begin putting pressure on domestic prices in the coming months.” See MIELKE, pg. 26

Bosma: International dairy markets ‘like a falling knife’ MIELKE, from pg. 24 To see more of Meyer’s analysis, write him at ericm@highgroundtrading.com. ■ Adding to the bleak outlook, HighGround Dairy’s Curtis Bosma writes in his latest Feed Market Update: “Over the last several months international dairy markets, particularly in New Zealand, have been like a ‘falling knife.’ Skim and whole milk powders offered at the Global Dairy Trade auction have made fresh 13 year lows for two consecutive auctions. Using the Farmgate Milk Price Calculator from our friends over at AgriHQ, the results from the most recent GDT auction produce a spot milk price of NZ$2.49 kilogram per milk solid. “After converting for components and the current exchange rate, this is equal to a U.S. All-Milk Price below $6.00/cwt. By no means do I believe that this is where U.S. milk prices are

headed, but it does tell us just how severe the premium is that we hold over New Zealand. “Dairy producers in the United States should take heed from these events because of the increasing reliance on exports as a source of demand. Since overseas products are now so extremely discounted to the United States a loss of market share is likely for U.S. dairy exporters unless prices drop quickly. “Domestic dairy prices tend to lag behind the international market by several months, but once recovery begins internationally the United States could remain near the lows until market share is recaptured. HighGround believes that the dairy markets will continue to feel some downward pressure in the intermediate future. Seasonality could instigate some volatility through the end of the year, but an overall price recovery may take longer than most are expecting.”
MANUFACTURING
REMODELING, EXPANSION OR REPLACEMENT
There have been some interesting developments regarding the GDT. Land O’Lakes, which joined the GDT last March to sell skim milk powder, withdrew this week, though it wasn’t a big player — and there have also been calls on Fonterra to pull out of the GDT. Wednesday the New Zealandbased cooperative announced a significant drop in quantities that it will offer at the GDT in the next 12 months. I asked Matt Gould, editor and analyst for the “Dairy and Food Market Analyst” newsletter in Friday’s DairyLine, if this was the beginning of the end of the GDT. Gould answered, “No,” pointing out that the GDT was originally designed to be a “transparent pricing mechanism for New Zealand dairy farmers” to “show what a ton of whole milk powder or skim milk powder is worth and that gets passed to the dairy farmer.” Outside of New Zealand, Gould said “It’s an international price setting mecha-
nism, representative of the world’s pricing, but that’s been called into question,” he said, with Land O’Lakes pulling out of the GDT this week, as did European dairy co-op Molkerei Ammerland in April. Gould emphasized how tough a year it’s been for New Zealand dairy producers and said the criticism of the GDT is “shooting the messenger” saying, “we don’t like the market signal even if it’s true.” Add to that, Fonterra’s latest forecast milk price is well below New Zealand’s cost of production. When asked what that means, Gould said that “a lot of cows will be sent to slaughter instead of through the milking parlor,” so milk output will fall and that pain is showing up in the rhetoric of calls for the end of the GDT, etc. Lee Mielke is a syndicated columnist who resides in Everson, Wash.

White Pine Studio, Clitherall, Minn.
ake a wineglass. Hold it in your hand. Is it cool and smooth? It is hard. Is it clear or colored? It is brittle. Put it on the table. Does it float above the table on a delicate stem? What is this glass? What is this common but beautiful thing? Where did it come from? “My glass is made from sand, soda ash, and lime,” John Oleson says. Hand blown glass isn’t common. Oleson crafts his at White Pine Studio near Clitherall in Otter Tail County, Minn. “The furnace has 60 pounds of molten glass at 2,000 degrees,” he says, sticking his blow rod into the inferno and rotating it. He does this twice. Then he shapes the fiery ball on his stainless steel marver or palette, leans back, puts the long rod to his lips, and blows a fat bubble of glass. “This will be the cup,” he says as he places his glowing rod on his workbench and rolls it back and forth shaping it with steel tools and thick wet newspaper mitts. A pointed tool opens a small round hole in the rotating glass bubble. Oleson enlarges that, forming the wineglass mouth. “Glass is easiest to shape between 1,500 to 1,800 degrees,” he says, putting the cup-to-be into the glowing white eye of a small reheating furnace. After shaping the cup, Oleson sets it aside, still hot and attached to the blow rod. Using another rod he returns to the large furnace to gather glass for the stem and base. “The glass in the furnace is clear,” he says. “I add color after I take it out.” Oleson turns the incandescent ball that will become the stem on a tiny pile of fine broken glass called frit. Some of the orange frit melts into the soft glass. He heats and reheats the stem glass as he elongates and shapes it like he is making taffy candy. Swirls of orange appear inside the spiral stem that is forming. Then, in a series of smooth quick movements, he joins stem to cup. Now, separating the completed wineglass from the rod, he places it in another furnace to cool slowly overnight. “Each piece of hand blown glass, even if it’s part of a set, is unique,” he said. Oleson welcomes visitors to his studio during the summer and fall. You can call him at (218) 405-0234 or visit www.whitepinestudio.com. ❖
