pwards of 70 U percent of Minnesota landowners have no idea what the buffer law says and what they need to do about it, according to farm drainage attorney Kurt Deter, of RinkeNoonan in St. Cloud, Minn. Deter has been traveling the state talking buffers to offer some clarity. “It’s the law,” he said. “We need to deal with it and hopefully make it something of a positive.” While Deter expects litigation to better define the law and make minor changes, he said the law isn’t going away. The clock is ticking, however, with buffers required on public waters by November 2017 and public ditches by November 2018. On Aug. 13, nearly 200 landowners, county commissioners, watershed districts, farmers and environmentalists attended an agricultural drainage workshop in Mankato, Minn. The meeting was sponsored in part by the I+S Group, a Mankato-based engineering, architecture and environmental planning firm. Both landowners and representatives from watershed districts expressed concern over the implementation, which is a work in progress. “It’s all a good idea, but to get it to work is the problem,” said Lee Johnson of St. Peter, See BUFFERS, pg. 6 Minn., a field representative for Minnesota Farmers Union.

Buss: Cash never played Farmfest Johnny Cash never played Farmfest, says Marlyn Buss. Responding to Marie Wood’s Aug. 21 “Land Minds” column in which a reader reported once seeing The Man in Black at the famous farm show. Buss called baloney. If anyboy would know, it’s Buss, who owned and operated Farmfest for 16 years. He purchased the Farmfest name in 1977 and revived the event on his father’s farm east of Lake Crystal in 1982, transforming it into an ag trade show. Buss sold Farmfest in 1997. In an e-mail to The Land, he noted that he

Buss said he understands that memory fails so he checked the Johnny Cash website — Farmfest was not on his list of live performances, although he did play the Minnesota State Fair in ’76. Buss is absolutely certain the country music legend (who died in 2003) hadn’t performed at Farmfest under his watch because he never wrote a check out to Cash. —Marie Wood

HAGEN, from pg. 2 gasoline alone was responsible for over 15 percent of their 1933 tax revenue. What’s curious is that the Senate Finance Committee issued a report the following year stating that the federal gasoline tax should be repealed. But that never happened. Instead it went up. Under President Eisenhower, the tax increased to three cents per gallon. Under Reagan, nine cents. It’s risen steadily through the years to a level of 18.4 cents for every gallon of unleaded fuel, and 24.4 cents per gallon of diesel. All of this tax revenue is supposed to go to the Federal Highway Trust Fund, something established back in the 1950s to finance the care and maintenance of the nation’s highways. And now it, too, is insolvent. Earlier I told you about Social Security’s Disability Insurance Trust Fund, which will become insolvent in a matter of months. The DI problem (just like the rest of Social Security) has been a long time coming. But rather than form some meaningful solution, Congress instead opted to commit financial fraud by commingling DI monies together with the other Social Security funds. Now comes the Highway Trust Fund. The difference between DI and the Highway Trust fund is that this one won’t be insolvent in a

DNR maps to show where buffers will be required BUFFERS, from pg. 1 Buffer law Scientific research shows buffers improve water quality, said John Jaschke, executive director of the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources. The law requires a 50-foot average buffer width with a 30-foot minimum on public waters and a 16.5 foot (one rod) width on public ditches. Public ditches run through private farm land. Considerable discussion went into the size of buffer strips. “You want to use the smallest amount of land you can to do the most public benefit,” Jaschke said. Buffers must be perennial vegetation, Jaschke noted, but they can be hayed, grazed or driven on. The one-rod requirement will also take effect on private ditches that are within the benefited area of a public drainage system, said Deter. Soil and Water Conservation Districts will still play a prominent role in working with landowners to get buffers installed. Landowners also may choose an alternative practice from a list on the BWSR website, said Jaschke. “Buffers are an important water quality practice,” said Jaschke. “They aren’t the only one.” Both Jaschke and Deter said the timeline and responsibility falls on landowners. Pat Duncanson, a corn, soybean and livestock producer from Mapleton, Minn., is involved in the Le

Sueur River Watershed Network. He questioned whether the state would see a measurable impact on water quality after so much private and public money and effort has been put into buffer strips, at a time when ag producers are feeling pressure from consumers regarding farming practices. “We have a window in the next five years to do things that we know really have an impact on our river,” said Duncanson. “The local watersheds are where the rubber hits the road. It’s one of those local issues that becomes global.” Jaschke’s advice to local watershed districts: “If a buffer isn’t the right practice for that place, then do something that’s better or equivalent to, and then I think we will see measurable gains.” Jaschke said he would take the suggestion to put mechanisms in place to measure water quality progress.

an analysis and prepare a map of where buffers are required. In some places these lines are clear, but not so in other places, said Jaschke. “A lot of landowners don’t know where buffers are required on their property,” he said. DNR may need help from drainage authorities and SWCDs to map out the benefited area of a public drainage system, he noted. “Whatever it takes so the DNR can have a clear line of where that benefited area is,” said Jaschke, “because then the ditches within it, both public and private, are going to be subject to that one rod.” As a ditch lawyer, Deter said his No. 1 piece of advice for landowners is to review the DNR map. “When the DNR map comes out, you need to study that map,” he said. “Those private ditches will be part of this map.” In addition, SWCDs can identify waters that need buffers or alternative practices. As far as financial assistance for buffers, Jaschke said the best bet is still the Conservation Reserve Program and Continuous CRP, as well as Reinvest in Minnesota buffer easements. According to the BWSR website, landowners may be eligible for compensation from the drainage authority. Exemptions to the buffer law include land already enrolled in CRP, roads and other activities. Buffers are not required on waterfront property to allow access, which Deter said he understands within reason. “To want to buffer everything and then put fertilizer right down to the lake so you can have a green grass,” said Deter. “That’s eventually going to have to be addressed.” Deter presented a list of possible impacts of the law, which include increased tiling to replace smaller ditches, redistribution of property taxes and redetermination of benefits. Compliance The SWCD is responsible for notifying the county or watershed district if a landowner is not in compliance. Then the county or watershed district must provide the landowner with a list of corrective actions and a timeline to meet the requirements, said Deter. “They (SWCDs) are not the enforcement, they are simply the reporters,” said Deter. If the landowner doesn’t comply, then a fine of $500 may be issued. The landowner will still have to install the buffer. Jaschke cautioned that the fine can be reissued multiple times and Deter advised compliance over paying the fine. While enforcing the law is local, the state may withhold funding from SWCDs, counties or watershed districts should they fail to enforce compliance, explained Deter. ❖

By CAROLYN VAN LOH The Land Correspondent Shiny grain bins dot the landscape of rural America. They represent the bounty of a good harvest but they can quickly become a tomb when a farmer doesn’t take proper safety precautions before entering a bin. The very nature of farming — working under pressure in potentially hazardous situations — has made the industry one of the most dangerous in the nation. Even welltrained, conscientious workers can fall victim to grain bin hazards. Studies have determined that an adult in a bin of grain can be engulfed in just five seconds, and completely submerged in flowing grain in 60 seconds. More than half of grain engulfments result in death. A Purdue University study revealed that a record number of 51 grain entrapments occurred in 2010, but the number declined slightly over the next two years. Volunteer fire and rescue units, often the first and only line of defense, respond quickly when the urgent call comes to them. Unless they have proper equipment, however, and advanced training to use the equipment, they may waste costly time or even fail to save the trapped individual. Since they are often manned by volunteers, fire and rescue squads depend on outside resources to provide funds for the equipment necessary to facilitate the rescue. Agriculture-related businesses frequently have moneys available for safety equipment. Grants DuPont Pioneer, producer of hybrid corn since 1926, has established a grant program to benefit its customers’ communities. First responders and fire

You’re glad to have (emergency rescue equipment) but you hope it’s never used.

• Lock entrances to grain handling areas. • Install ladders inside bins. • Do not enter grain bins that are being loaded or unloaded. Flowing grain can trap and suffocate you in seconds. • If it is necessary to enter a bin, shut off and lockout power before entering. Use a safety harness and safety line. Have several people outisde the bin to lift you out in case of emergency. • Wear proper dust-filtering respirators when working in and around grain handling areas.

viding funds to those who need it most.” The Emergency Equipment Grant Program enables rural volunteer fire departments or ambulance teams in an AgStar service area to apply for grant money to purchase emergency rescue equipment. Since the inception of this program, $713,245 has been given to this equipment fund. Rescue equipment Grain bin rescue tubes must be lightweight, and easy to put together and dismantle. The Westbrook, Minn., fire department purchased a rescue tube from Gingway Products with a Pioneer grant through local seed dealer Mike Haas. Having the rescue tube and auger packed in the rescue vehicle is similar to an insurance policy — you’re glad to have it, but you hope it’s never used.

The Westbrook squad plans to use Meadowland funds to purchase necessary accessories for the rescue tube, such as a harness, ropes and other equipment to facilitate a bin rescue. Another bin rescue system, the RESQ Tube, is available through GSI, the largest manufacturer of commercial grain bins. This device is lightweight and simple to use by keeping the grain from applying too much pressure on the trapped person. In the ag industry, it’s important to many companies to protect their customers and clients. One way to achieve that goal is to fund fire and rescue teams who are on call when an accident occurs on an area farm. Talking to other rescue groups or searching the internet will surface numerous sources of funding for groups who meet the company’s requirement. ❖

Agritourism law protects farmers from lawsuits

nesota Farm Bureau Federation and Minnesota Farmers Union. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture and the commodity groups were in favor, as well. Wisconsin, North Dakota and South Dakota already have agritourism liability laws on the books. Signs To be protected from lawsuits, farmers must post a warning sign so visitors understand the risks of agritourism. The exact verbage is not mandated. Thom Petersen, government relations director of Minnesota Farmers Union, is spreading the word about the new law and covering the topic in county meetings. Members have been asking questions about the signs. The signs need to warn people that they are on a farm and there are risks to a working farm, he said. Petersen expects the agritourism sign to be similar to the one he posts on the barn door of his horse farm. The signs identifies Minnesota Statute 604A.12 stating that sponsors of livestock activities are not liable for the injury or death of a participant or spectator arising from the inherent risk of livestock activities. The inherent risks, including kicking, biting or spooking, are listed. Eventually signs like this for agritourism will be available through a farm group or other entity, he said. Even with the law, Petersen advised discussing lia-

• Check your farm on a regular basis for hazards that can injure children on your farm. Deal with obvious hazards immediately. • Children who are physically able to be involved in farm work should be assigned age-appropriate tasks and continually train to perform them. They should be constantly supervised. • Equip all barns, farm shops, chemical storage areas, livestock pens, with latches that can be locked or secured so that children cannot enter. • Always turn equipment off, lower hydraulics and remove the key before leaving equipment unattended.

bility insurance for on-farm events with your insurance agent. “Keep your insurance agent in the loop,” he said. “The last thing a lot of people do is check with their insurance company.” Going forward, the agritourism law should help reduce the price of event coverage because farmers have shown a regard for safety, posted a sign and followed the law, said Petersen. Dairies Bob Lefebvre, executive director of the Minnesota Milk Producers Association, supported the bill for a couple reasons. “From a dairy farmer’s perspective,” he said, “we like to bring people on the farm so they can see how we care for the animal and the environment while we produce wholesome quality milk. It helps to eliminate one of the barriers for on-farm valueadded enterprises.” One such value-added enterprise is Redhead Creamery in Brooten, Minn. Alise and Lucas Sjostrom, with Alise’s parents, own the creamery where Alise makes artisan cheese. The creamery is located on the family dairy called Jer-Lindy Farms. “I was glad to see it pass,” Lucas Sjostrom said. “Every extra piece of protection for a business like ours is great.” Opens the barn door Dawn Lanning operates HHH Ranch in Hastings, Minn.

THE LAND, SEPTEMBER 4, 2015

By MARIE WOOD The Land Associate Editor Inviting the public out to the farm is a popular way to show people how food is grown and produced. That’s why on Aug. 1, an agritourism law went into effect in Minnesota. The law provides liability protection for farmers who host Breakfast on the Vicki Jensen Farm, grape stomps, dairy days, you-pick-fruit, pumpkin patches, farm-to-table events and more. With more people visiting farms, farmers assume more risk and the possibility of lawsuits for injuries. For example, walking on farm land can cause a minor injury such as a twisted ankle, or a major injury Thom Petersen such as a broken hip. The new statute states that an agritourism professional is not liable for injury, damage, or death of a participant resulting from the inherent dangers of farming, ranching, winemaking and other agritourism activities. Minnesota State Senator Vicki Jensen, DFL-Owatonna, was a co-author on the Senate bill. She is also an independent insurance agent. She explained that farmers can purchase extra coverage when they hold events. “This is that protection that you don’t need extra insurance to participate in an agritourism activity,” Jensen said. This is a signal to the agricultural community that we want them to let people experience what happens on a farm firsthand, she said — the way they grow crops and care for their animals. “The hope for it is that it lessens the anxiety for landowners if they want to participate,” said Jensen. Farmers still need liability insurance, she said, and the agritourism law will not offer protection in incidents of gross negligence or willful or wanton disregard for safety. Farmers also will not be protected if they have knowledge of a dangerous condition or animal or if they intentionally injure a participant. Farm groups across Minnesota supported the bill — Renewing the Countryside, Minnesota Grown, Min-

Liability law may ‘open barn door’ for others in ag AGRITOURISM, from pg. 9 Lanning supported the agritourism bill even though the law doesn’t directly help her operation. “Any time you help a farmer diversify, it’s going to help their bottom line,” said Lanning. “This bill was huge in making it easier for farmers to do that.” Lanning also plans to create community sustained agriculture on her property. To sell shares, marketing is focused on inviting people out to the farm. You-pick events are one popular way to market CSAs. Indirectly, the new law could help Lanning in accessing funding for her ranch. While horses are large livestock, her stable is not considered a farm. The U.S. Department of Agriculture defines farms as raising anything that you can eat, she explained. “It opens the door to recognition of services as an agricultural product,” said Lanning. “It’s setting a precedent.” Lanning reasoned that if ag-related services are being recognized then more funding programs may be

Dawn Lanning of Hastings, Minn., is hopeful the precedent set by Minnesota’s new agritourism law may soon help her horse and husky operation.

offered through the USDA and Farm Service Agency. Lanning doesn’t agree with the argument that horses aren’t part of the ag community. She goes through 750 pounds of feed per week bought from the local grain elevator, 800 pounds of hay per day bought from local farmers, and 60 pounds of beef per day bought from local farmers. “We support it,” she said, “but we are not part of the ag community?” Also, the equine liability law in Minnesota only covers non-profits. However, the new agritourism law protects for-profit businesses, said Lanning. So next year, the horse industry can lobby to change the equine liability law to cover for-profit businesses the way the new agritourism law does, she said. ❖

animals as young as three months of age. The Polzin Embryo Center, one of the stops on this year’s tour, is doing technology so when heifers are only one year old, they’re having calves. This rapid generation turnover is allowing us to make improvements at dramatic increases from former times. Q: What’s the impact for the consumer who buys your product? Schiefelbein: It should mean improvements in all areas of carcass quality, whether it be taste, tenderness, palatability, healthfulness — and of course important to the cattle feeder is faster growth and improved feed efficiency, too. Plus healthier critters in the feed lots. Q: What’s the turnover rate of females in your cow herd? Schiefelbein: We get six to eight calves per cow but because the newer genetics are so much more impressive, right now our turnover is even quicker. We have a simple philosophy when it comes to our cows. They either work for us or they work for McDonald’s. We do not tolerate open cows, cows with an attitude, cows that don’t raise a calf every year or cows that don’t wean a high percentage of their weight. It’s as simple as that. I look at my dad’s hobby of antique farm equipment and the Claus forage chopper we use today as an example of the amazing progress both in farm equipment and beef genetics now taking place. Q: So you’re not bashful about culling? Schiefelbein: With today’s genetics rapid culling is the new ballgame. Extreme genetic diversity like easycalving heifers that produce super fast growing offspring, or animals with incredible amounts of internal marbling but very little outside fat — these are the genetic antagonism

Rapid culling ‘the new ballgame’ SCHIEFELBEIN, from pg. 11 we’re breaking like never before. We’re working with Polzin Embryo Center virtually on a day-by-day basis. Embryo transfer is already big in the beef industry and will only get bigger. We just purchased a facility that Polzins are leasing from us to take their operation to the next level. They mostly deal in females; the male part of this business we do through established studs where they buy our genetics (our young bulls) and propagate them in mass quantities. Everything we do is about genetic improvement in genes. There used to be a time when we sold beef cattle, then we switched into selling only Angus beef cattle, now we’re selling GenX. We’re selling genes — the outcomes of what we expect things to do. Q: So black critters won’t necessarily dominate the cattle business? Schiefelbein: It’s all about genes. If they have the genetic makeup to compete with what the Blacks are doing today, they will win regardless the color of their hair coat or their hide. In our game, our concern is with customers one, two and three. We don’t care the color or the label. We want to provide the genes that will make them the most money. We have a strong contingency of SimAngus cattle that we merchandise. We’re selling about 100 bulls yearly from that blood line. Sometimes the Simmental brings the

genetics we need to make the Angus even better. We DNA test every young animal. In essence what that does is give us a proof as if that animal has already had 10 to 12 calves. What we are doing is selling young animals with incredible genetic makeup that have the accuracy of an old animal. Q: Is the genetics or the fed cattle the key driver in your business? Schiefelbein: The core of our business is seed stock but our gross revenue is much larger on the feeder side. To make the fed cattle operation work for us, however, is buying feeder calves from cattle that already have our genetics. So we know what the feedlot performance will be when we restock each year and that’s what makes fed cattle profitable. Q: Rubber-covered slats are getting the big push these days. Any rubber on slats in the Schiefelbein operation? Schiefelbein: We have a couple of test pens that now have rubber. We’re like a lot of folks — we have to see it with our own eyes. If it makes enough difference to cover the significant cost of putting in rubber, then it could happen. If animals are more comfortable they do better. That’s always been my talk with animal rights people. Cattle comfort is the starting point when you’re in the beef business.

No rail shortage expected for 2015 harvest The Associated Press STERLING, N.D. — The grain elevator that towers over this small prairie town has been humming with workers loading crops onto rail cars destined for domestic and worldwide markets. It’s a welcome sight in Sterling and across the upper Great Plains, where in the past two years grain elevators overflowed and mountains of wheat, corn, soybeans and other crops lay in piles, awaiting rail cars that seemed to never come. Just in time for what the U.S. Agriculture Department expects to be near-record corn and soybean harvests, grain train cars are in abundance. The reversal is attributed to unprecedented spending on track upgrades, political pressure from politicians in agriculture-rich states and a drastic decrease in trains hauling crude and freight to and from western North Dakota’s oil-producing region. “There had been some uncertainties but it has gradually gotten better,” said Josh Mardikian, grain manager at the South Central Grain Cooperative elevator in Sterling. As he spoke,

Oil activity in North Dakota was partly to blame for the widespread shortage and backlog of rail cars from North Dakota and Montana down to Kansas and east into Illinois, National Farmers Union President Roger Johnson said. “It doesn’t take too much more on the tracks to really get things snarled up,” he said. 2006 INTERNATIONAL 5500i NEW 2015 MAURER 48’ Cummins ISM eng., 350 hp., Air ride susp. 22.5 tires, all steel The long delays added to costs for 6-spd., Allison auto., spring susp., wheels, wood floor, spread axle, grain elevators and agricultural pro4:88 ratio, LP 22.5 tires, alum.

the Surface Transportation Board to press the railroads, which it oversees, for plans to address the backlog. BNSF Railway Co. said it has invested billions of dollars in upgrades across its rail network since 2013, including $1 billion in North Dakota alone. The railroad is now shipping all freight “faster, more predictable and more consistent,” according to John Miller, a vice president who oversees the Fort Worth, Texas-based company’s grain-related business. “We put the pressure on the railroads and were willing to be a pain to them but we are also willing to give them credit that they’ve owned up to this problem and appear to have fixed it,” said U.S. Rep. Kevin Cramer, a Republican from North Dakota who was one of the politicians who pressed for solutions. “We’ll see.” Lochiel Edwards, a grain farmer who represents Montana’s Grain Growers Association on rail issues, said the “only logical solution was to build a bigger rail network.” Also contributing to the turnaround is a slowdown in drilling activity in western North Dakota’s oil patch due to depressed oil prices. While the state’s oil production has remained stable at about 1.2 million barrels a month, the percentage of crude shipped by rail has dropped below 50 percent due to increased refining capacity and additional pipelines. “I hope we don’t have to put up with the crap we had to in the past,” Minnesota Farmers Union President Doug Peterson said, especially in a year when his state is seeing bumper crops. Johnson, the National Farmers Union leader, remains optimistic. “Almost no one is talking about it,” he said. “That’s the best indicator things have eased up.” ❖

Grain Angles Benchmark comparisons As you prepare for what is hopefully a great harvest, you may want to take some time to compare your numbers to a benchmark in order to achieve a potential competitive advantage. Three years ago AgStar began putting together an Annual Grain Benchmark Report which allows our grain producer clients to compare themselves vs. other AgStar grain producer clients. The table on the next page are some select grain industry factors showing the benchmark averages for 2013 and 2014. Also shown are AgStar’s Long-term Sustainable targets. We use these during discussions JOEL LARSON with our grain producer clients AgStar Financial Services Credit Director (representing an operation with Blue Earth, Minn. at least 185 bu./acre actual production history and 165 bu./acre APH). In a review of the data, what conclusions can we make? Firstly, the grain industry factors shown do not necessarily guarantee profitability. All of these grain factors do, however, translate into how healthy your operation might be. Working capital per acre is showing a drop (for the second consecutive year) in part due to lower grain prices. You might be getting tired of hearing lenders discuss the need for having enough working capital, but having a higher working capital per acre does allow you the freedom to take advantage of business opportunities as they arise and enables you to weather periods of lower prices or lower yields. The 2015 long-term sustainable target suggests a minimum of $250 working capital/acre. Even with the

The third week in August was not a very good week for livestock prices. Cattle, hogs and feeder cattle all finished lower and near the week’s lows. Most of this weakness will be pointed at the Chinese as they devalued their currency at the beginning of the week. But it appears that was only the catalyst to start the concern over the prices for all commodities. In reality all things point to a slowing global economy which in part is our own U.S. economy. This is having a direct effect on the demand for all economies and is in danger of continuing unless there is a turnaround in the economic outlook in all global JOE TEALE economies. Broker Great Plains Commodity Both the futures and the cash Afton, Minn. cattle markets suffered a sell-off as a result of the Chinese news, losing any positive momentum they had in previous weeks. The supplies of cattle remain rather tight; however, it would now appear that demand will become the more important factor in price discovery. With cattle weights well above a year-ago levels, the beef production is at or near last year’s levels, the supply of beef has not suffered as much as one would have anticipated. This would help explain the past several cold storage reports that showed more beef in storage than expected. On Aug. 21, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released the Monthly Cattle on Feed Report. The results are as follows: On feed 103 percent; Placed in July 100 percent; Marketed in July 97 percent. The report was interpreted as neutral by the trade. Looking forward, more emphasis will be put on demand

The following market analysis is for the week ending Aug. 28. CORN — When the dust settled on the corn market for the week, we hadn’t moved much despite a fairly wide weekly trading range. China’s stock market plummeted 8.5 percent to begin the week and the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 1,100 points at one point! It was not surprising when agricultural markets also spiked lower. The range for the week in December corn was from $3.65 1⁄2 to $3.86 3⁄4 per bushel. For the week, December corn was down 2 1⁄4 cents at $3.75 per PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. bushel. St. Paul The main market mover was the action in world equity markets. Corn spiked lower as we returned from the weekend, but by the end of trading on Aug. 24, prices had turned higher. The balance of the week was sideways to lower as the market tried to decipher world equity markets. A plunge in the U.S. dollar was ignored on Aug. 24, but it helped to limit the upside in commodities as it rallied through the balance of the week. The dollar index tumbled to its lowest level since January before recovering. Crude oil dropped to $37.75 before regaining traction in short-covering. Corn conditions were unchanged this week at 69 percent good/excellent, but there was a one percent switch from good to excellent. Conditions should begin to decline as the crop matures, but the fact the rating has held suggests yield estimates may not be as low as earlier thought. As of Aug. 23, 85 percent of the corn crop

As goes China’s economy, so go U.S. soybeans NYSTROM, from pg. 15 was in the dough stage versus 81 percent on average. In the same report, 39 percent of the crop was dented versus 43 percent on average. Harvest has begun in the South with Texas 47 percent complete as of Aug. 23; Louisiana 87 percent; Mississippi 52 percent; Georgia 62 percent; and Arkansas 25 percent complete. Weekly export sales for old crop were a negative 5.2 million bushels while new crop sales were very good at 53.5 million bushels. This was the largest weekly new crop sales of the marketing year. This still leaves new crop sales commitments at 261 million bushels versus 392 million bushels last year, a 10-year low. Brazil is on pace to export a record amount of corn for August. It’s predicted they will ship 4.5 million metric tons for the month compared to the record for any month of 3.9 mmt. It’s expected they will remain competitive in the world export market into January.

Weekly ethanol production was down 13,000 barrels per day for the week at 965,000 barrels per day. Stocks were unchanged at 18.6 million barrels. OUTLOOK: This week’s low at $3.65 1⁄2 per bushel will act as first support with secondary support at the contract low of $3.57 1⁄2 per bushel. Resistance lies near $3.80 per bushel. Grower selling increased with a late week rally as producers prepare space for the new crop harvest. Overall our markets direction was dictated by what happened in China’s stock market this week. Next week we’ll see private crop estimates in preparation for the Sept. 11 USDA crop report. SOYBEANS — Soybeans gapped lower to begin the week, which was barely filled on Aug. 25, and ended the week with a four-cent loss in the November contract that settled at $8.85 1⁄2 per bushel.

‘Rebuild working capital’ LARSON, from pg. 15 potential for great yields, if prices stay low, will you have enough working capital to make it through the lean years ahead? I am encouraging farmers to take the opportunity now to rebuild working capital for the future. A lower land cost per acre does translate into profitability. Driving this overall cost down continues to be the No. 1 activity most grain producers are working on for 2016, either through negotiating land rents or restructuring land debt to improve working capital and possibly cash flow. The 2014 average shows the average land cost at $233/acre which is under the sustainable target. No doubt there is more work to be done here. Noting where your total land debt per owned crop acre is and where you and your lender’s comfort level is should always be a consideration. One grain industry factor to keep Grain Industry Factors Working Capital/Acre Land Cost/Acre (Rented and owned including RE tax) Total Land Debt per owned crop acre Intermediate principal, interest, and equipment lease/acre Machinery and vehicle investment/acre

your eye on is intermediate principal, interest, and equipment lease per acre. There is a correlation between this factor and machinery and vehicle investment per acre. Grain producers have increased their investment in machinery possibly due to tax management, better technology, and/or lower overall labor costs, but in the end, the higher investment does have an impact on profitability.

The soybean market is very dependent on China’s economy so any disruption there in demand will spill over to our markets. bushel on the same day. A sharp selloff in China’s Shanghai Composite of 8.5 percent caused prices to spike lower on Aug. 24 and then spent the rest of the week recovering. The soybean market is very dependent on China’s economy so any disruption there in demand will spill over to our markets. Soybeans and corn were able to stage some rebound when China’s central bank announced the lowering of their lending and deposit rates by 25 basis points each to 4.6 percent and 1.75 percent respectively and cut the banks’ reserve requirement ratio by 50 basis points to 18 percent. This came as their equity market lost another 7.6 percent on Tuesday. We did see a pickup in announced new crop sales this week of 460,000 metric tons to unknown for the 2015-16 crop year. Argentina’s farmers held a five-day strike this week to protest export policies they say have stymied profits. The strike did not disrupt shipments since ports had enough stocks to continue to ship. More protests could be expected as the Oct. 25 presidential election draws near. Growers would like to see export limits on wheat and corn lifted, as well as the 35 percent export tax on soybeans. Weekly export sales for soybeans also

showed net cancellations of 4.8 million bushels. New crop sales were very good at 53.5 million bushels. New crop sales commitments are the second lowest in the last seven years at 438 million bushels compared to 765 million bushels last year at this time. China’s portion of the new crop sales are only 4.9 mmt versus 12 mmt last year. Soybean crop conditions were unchanged at 63 percent good/excellent for the fourth week in a row. Recent rainfall around the Midwest lends better confidence that yields may not slip much, if any, from the July 46.9 bu./acre forecast. As of Aug. 23, 96 percent of the soybeans were blooming compared to 98 percent on average and 87 percent were setting pods versus 88 percent on average. OUTLOOK: China, China, China! As goes China’s economic scene, so goes the U.S. soybean market. At least that was the case this week. First support for November soybeans is the new contract low at $8.55 per bushel with resistance at $8.89 1⁄2/$8.92 1⁄2 per bushel. Beans are beginning to turn and warmer weather in the coming week should push that process along. Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending Aug. 28: December Chicago wheat plunged 20 1⁄4 cents lower, Minneapolis only lost 6 1⁄2 cents and Kansas City dropped 9 1⁄4 cents per bushel. Crude oil stage a significant rally, up $4.77 at $45.22 per barrel, ultra-low-sulfur diesel rallied 11 3⁄4 cents, reformulated blendstock for oxygenate blending only managed a 1 1⁄4 cent gain and natural gas was up 1 3⁄4 cents. The U.S. dollar index up 1.119 higher for the week at 96.127 (as of Friday afternoon) after falling as low as 92.621 to start the week. ❖

Pork exports could slow due to currency events TEALE, from pg. 15 while supplies remain relatively tight. Producers should take market action under consideration and protect inventories when the opportunity presents. The hog market seemed to get caught up in the international events these past few weeks. The export market has the possibility of slowing due to the currency events that have taken place. Not only the devaluation of the Chinese currency but also the strength in the U.S. dollar could have a significant influence on the export of pork.

With an increasing hog herd and slower demand, this could spell trouble ahead for hog prices. The fact that pork is one of the best values in the meat complex could aid in keeping the market from a severe price slide. Demand versus the supply of pork will be the dominant feature in the price discovery in the weeks and months ahead. Because the future market is already at a large discount, producers should be cognizant of this situation and protect inventories as warranted. ❖

Cool temperatures and dry weather across most of Minnesota allowed farmers 5.3 days suitable for fieldwork during the week ending Aug. 30, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Only extreme southern and northern parts of Minnesota received significant rainfall throughout the week. Other field activities for the week included harvesting hay and chopping corn for silage. Sixty-five percent of Minnesota’s corn acreage was in or beyond the dent stage, 10 days ahead of last year and six days ahead of the five-year average. Corn condition rated 88 percent good to excellent. Corn harvested for silage was five percent complete, over one week behind normal.

2014 ARC-CO payment on soybean base acres in Minnesota and northern Iowa would range from zero to $50 per soybean base acre. Approximately half of the counties would likely get either a partial or maximum payment for 2014, depending on the 2014 average county soybean yield, compared to the fiveyear average county yield. As a result, producers in one county may receive a significant 2014 ARC-CO payment on their soybean base acres, while producers in the neighboring county may receive no payment. Based on the current 2014 MYA price estimates of $3.70 per bushel for corn and $10.05 per bushel for soybeans, there would not be a 2014 PLC farm program payment for either corn or soybeans.

The historical MYA prices are also used to determine the “benchmark revenues” for both the ARC-CO and ARC-IC program options. The MYA price for a given commodity is not based on the Chicago Board of Trade commodity prices, or any specific local or terminal grain prices. The MYA price is the 12-month national average price for a commodity, based on the average market price received at the first point of sale by farm operators across the United States.

Reports drive prices down; demand lifts them back up This column was written for the marketing week ending Aug. 28. Cash dairy product prices were on a roller coaster the last week of August. After all, this is fair season. The bearish July Milk Production and Cold Storage reports provided the downward ride, demand was the uplifting force. Block Cheddar cheese lost 8.25 cents by Thursday

but regained 4.25 on Friday to close at $1.70, down four cents on the week and 63 cents below a year ago. The barrels finished at $1.60, down 9.5 cents on the week, 74.5 cents below a year ago, and an unsustainable 10 cents below the blocks. Product is making its way to Chicago, particularly barrel, as 10 cars of block and 31 of barrel traded hands on the week. The lagging National Dairy Products Sales Report-sur-

veyed U.S. average block price gained 2.7 cents, hitting $1.7365, while the barrels averaged $1.7471, up a penny. Some Central cheese manufacturers report milk intakes are down slightly, due to the seasonal decline and the increased bottling demand for MIELKE MARKET schools, reports Dairy market WEEKLY News. A short stretch of hot, humid days created a little dip By Lee Mielke in milk production, but with cooler temperatures and the good cross-ventilation of newer cow barns, the impact has been minimal, says Dairy Market News. Cheese production is active with little extra capacity available. Cheese makers are buying occasional loads of milk to fill capacity, but only when they can be purchased at or below Class. Cheese demand continues to be good. Western cheese output is steady. The beginning of school terms and increase in bottling has pulled some milk away from processing, but the impact has been minimal. Manufacturers report a slow seasonal decline in milk production but an adequate supply for processing. Domestic cheese demand and retail sales have been strong throughout the summer, according to Dairy Market News. Spot butter, after skyrocketing 30.5 cents last week, shed almost eight cents this week in reaction to Friday’s Cold Storage data, and dropped to $2.2925 per pound. It regained a nickel Thursday, slipped a quarter-cent Friday, and closed at $2.34, down three cents on the week and 41.5 cents below a year ago. Four cars were sold this week. NDPSR butter averaged $2.0210 per pound, up 3.8 cents. Cream availability for churning is tight as butterfat content in milk remains low, says Dairy Market News. Some processors prefer to sell cream as demand and multiples remain strong. Consequently, butter production is marginally lower. At this point, the market tone is unsettled but some manufacturers expect an increase in production this fall to meet the seasonal Fourth Quarter high demand. Looking westward, Dairy Market News reports that butter demand is steady, but the increased draw down of butter supplies normally seen in late summer has not fully started. Some manufacturers are beginning to see retail orders build for the holidays. Current production is steady to lower depending on the strategies of cream use. Ice cream production is slowing somewhat, but processors trying to build or maintain retail freezer space are still creating demand for cream. The increase in school milk bottling is also making more milk fat available for butter or ice cream. ■ Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk climbed to 81 cents per pound Aug. 27, highest spot price since July 8, but lost four cents Friday and closed at 77 cents per pounds, down 1.5 cents on the week and 55.5 cents See MIELKE, pg. 23

Cold Storage report puts pressure on dairy prices 87 cents below June 2014. Total costs, including feed, bedding, marketing, fuel, repairs, hired labor, taxes, etc., at $22.70/cwt., were down 14 cents from May, 35 cents below April, and $2.05 below a year ago. Feed costs made up 50.2 percent of total costs in June, compared to 51.1 percent the month before and 53.9 percent a year ago. Milk production is lower across the

country, according to Dairy Market News. Bottling orders are increasing as most public schools reopened or will be in the next few weeks. Manufacturing milk supplies are fairly strong in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, steady in the Northwest, and lower in the rest of the regions. Cream demand for churning is good. Inventories are mostly tight throughout the country. See MIELKE, pg. 24

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

The Cold Storage data for both cheese and butter were “disappointing for dairy farmers,” according to Meyer, “as stocks rose instead of contracting as is sometimes seen this time of year and that put a damper to the market.” He viewed Thursday’s rally in butter as “seasonal and fleeting” and said the gain in the nonfat dry milk price is “somewhat temporary as we feel the global market is still on the skids and still could have room to float. Those prices don’t translate well into an All Milk price for U.S. farmers,” he said. Meyer is concerned about the cheese market heading into the end of the year and advised dairy producers to “view the international markets and the volatility there as something to be very cautious over as they could bring our prices down by the end of the year and the first half of 2016.” And, when asked how low they’d go, Meyer said he’s nervous that cheese could fall to $1.30 to $1.40 by year-end and hold there through First Quarter “as we try and reshuffle.” “Our milk production is just not falling at a rate that it needs to,” he concluded. ■ On a brighter note, June 2015 packaged fluid milk sales totaled 3.8 billion pounds, up 1.4 percent from June 2014, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture tracking, first increase since December, 2014. June sales of conventional products totaled 3.6 billion pounds, up 1.5 percent from a year ago, while organic products, at 199 million pounds, were unchanged. Organic represented about 5.2 percent of total sales for the month. Looking at January to June, total packaged fluid sales, at 24.6 billion pounds, were down 1.8 percent from the same period a year earlier. Year-to-date sales of conventional products, at 23.4 billion pounds, were down 1.8 percent; organic products, at 1.2 billion pounds, were down 1.6 percent. Organic represented about 4.96 percent of total fluid milk sales in the first six months of 2015. The USDA latest National Milk Cost of Production report shows June’s total costs were down from May and well below June 2014. Total feed costs averaged $11.40 per hundredweight, down 26 cents from May, down 48 cents from April, and $1.95 below June 2014. Purchased feed costs, at $5.94/cwt., were up three cents from May, down 19 cents from April, and

MIELKE, from pg. 22 below a year ago. A whopping 33 cars traded hands at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange this week, “the market of last resort.” NDPSR-powder averaged 73.55 cents per pound, down 2.2 cents, and dry whey averaged 29.96 cents per pound, down 4.2 cents. California’s latest surveyed nonfat dry milk price was 74.6 cents per pound, down 3.7 cents on the week. The aforementioned Cold Storage report showed July butter stocks at 254.5 million pounds, down just 1.55 million pounds or one percent from June but, surprise, stocks were up 73.6 million pounds or 41 percent from July, 2014, and revisions added 1.3 million pounds of butter to the original June estimate. American-type cheese, at 698.3 million pounds, was up 12.55 million pounds or two percent from June and 37.9 million pounds or six percent above a year ago as shrinking exports result in more product going to storage. The total cheese inventory on July 31 stood at 1.16 billion pounds, up 20.2 million pounds or two percent from June and 107.5 million or 10 percent above a year ago. The report adds more bearishness to the markets, especially on butter, and the highest butter price in the world has resulted in a magnet and banner year for imports. It was a rocky road this week for Wall Street due to, what the Drudge Report called, “the Great Fall of China,” and CME dairy prices came under pressure in reaction to last week’s bearish July Milk Production report and the Aug. 28 bearish Cold Storage data. EU Milk production was up 3.9 percent in June and Mexico was up 2.5 percent. ■ HighGround Dairy broker, Eric Meyer, speaking in Friday’s DairyLine, stated “There’s certainly a lot of volatility,” but he pointed back to the Aug. 18 Global Dairy Trade auction which he said, “caused a bit of angst in the dairy industry.” He admitted that the previously mentioned factors have also had a negative impact on the U.S. cheese market and, while butter and nonfat dry milk have seen a bit of a lift, Meyer viewed that as “temporary and seasonal.” The 1.2 percent increase in July milk doesn’t sound like much, he reasoned, but it was above expectations and needs to be viewed against the 3.5 percent growth in the second half of 2014.

also likely affect land values in the Midwest in particular.” Gray also alerted the industry Friday that Federal U.S. District Court Judge Ralph Erickson issued an injunction late Aug. 27 blocking the implementation of the Waters of the U.S. Rule that was scheduled to go into effect Aug. 28. Gray wrote that “The judge made several points as to why the WOTUS Rule, as written, should not be allowed to be put in place.” He stated among other items that “EPA and the Corps of Engineers violated its grant of authority by Congress when it promulgated the Rule and that the agencies did not properly follow the Federal Administrative Procedures Act when it published the Rule and solicited public comments. He also added that the Rule is ‘likely arbitrary and capricious.’” However, EPA has taken a defiant stand on the court’s ruling saying it will enforce the Rule in all other 37 states that were not party to the law-

The 13 states bringing the case included Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming. The narrow interpretation by EPA on the scope of state coverage in the injunction blocking implementation of the Rule will have to be sorted out by the courts. ■ Cooperatives Working Together accepted only one request for export assistance this week from a member cooperative that has a contract to sell 176,370 pounds of Cheddar cheese to a customer in South America.

said the corn should reach The Pulks maturity this fall, which Wannaska, Minn. doesn’t necessarily happen For Andy Pulk the wheat harvest is about half every year for corn that far done. Rain showers had kept the combines out of north. “It’s started to dent,” the fields and slowed up harvest, Pulk told The he said. Pulk noted that with Land on Aug. 28. “Hopefully by the middle of next the crops doing well, it means week, we’ll be finished,” he said, noting that “quality is excellent, yield is great. ... It gets to be that “I’m pretty sure I can feed my family this year.” a fun time of year at harvest.” Meanwhile, “the sunflowers are through blooming; now are filling,” and “the soybean fields look really good.” Pulk

Meanwhile, the corn is McIntosh, Minn. “kind of starting to dry,” and Back from her international travels, Joan Lee the soybeans are “really was happy to report that the trip was “wonderful starting to turn.” Lee expected ... (Ireland is) probably one of the friendliest it would be a couple of weeks countries.” The Land spoke with Lee on Aug. 28 before the beans were ready as she was getting back into the swing of things on the farm. She and her husband, Mark, had just for harvest. “For the most part we’ve had a good finished baling straw the day before. She has more year so far for weather,” she said. “Overall, it’s hay to cut down with her third crop — a relatively been a good year.” new notion for Lee. “I only remember one other over two other rains.” Froemming said the corn looks good, with early day corn 100 percent dented, and 92-day corn half dented. The soybeans will be ready to harvest after rye planting is complete, he said, as “some of the early soybeans are starting to turn yellow.” Froemming predicts that “by the middle of September we’ll be rolling.”

The Haarstads Rothsay, Minn. The calm before the harvesting storm is upon the Haarstad farm. John Haarstad reported the farm was “kind of in a holding pattern,” when he spoke with The Land on Aug. 28. The focus right now is looking ahead to harvest and getting equipment ready. As far as corn quality and yield goes, Haarstad said it’s looking like “average to

above average is attainable.” The soybeans are “really good ... just starting to turn with one variety (and have) lots of pods.” Haarstad estimated it would be three weeks until harvest. In the meantime, he said, they’re “starting to get the bin site up and ready to go.” He said that cropwise, “we’re sitting as good as we can be. Our biggest enemy right now would be the frost.”

The Froemmings Garfield, Minn. Most folks are talking about harvesting, but a little planting was also on Rodney Froemming’s mind. When The Land spoke with Froemming on Aug. 28 he reported “we’re starting to get ready to start planting rye.” He was looking to possibly start his third hay crop on Aug. 29. “Last week we got 1.3 inches, then we got another sixth-tenths

The Filzens Renville, Minn. Navy bean harvest will soon be underway for Dale Filzen. The Land spoke with Filzen on Aug. 28 as he was “getting ready to combine navys.” He planned on starting either Aug. 29 or 30 — “a little on the early side.” Filzen’s happy with how the navy beans look and expects that “they’ll be real good.” The soybeans “got a fair amount of white mold after the rain,” although the two inches that fell the previous weekend were certainly

needed. “Some of the soybeans are starting to turn,” said Filzen. He expects it will be three weeks until harvest. “The corn looks pretty good,” he said, observing that “some early corn is starting to dent — it’s coming along good.” Filzen said the sugar beets are doing quite well, also. He said he’s pleased they “got some moisture to finish (the crops) off.”

The Thorpes Canby, Minn. Five inches of rain fall at Nathan Thorpe’s farm Aug. 18. “We are really wet,” he told The Land three days later. But even with the abundance of rain, he said both the corn and soybeans look excellent. “This corn and bean crop is made at this point,” said Thorpe. His main thought now: “If the rain keeps coming, think how much fun we’ll have at harvest.” He’s also thinking harvest equipment, and is happy to report that it’s getting

The Pagels Winthrop, Minn. The crops are in “pretty good shape” in terms of moisture on Delayne Pagel’s farm. The Land spoke with Pagel on Aug. 21; he reported that two inches of rain had fallen in the past week. Before the rain, the heat was a factor: “It did a little damage to the corn. I think we got a little bit of ear tip back but not much,” he said.

The moisture had “pretty good timing for the beans,” Pagel said; after the rains they were “a nice dark green again.” Meanwhile, the kidney beans are turning colors and Pagel said that “maybe in two weeks we’ll start harvesting.” Until then he’ll be cleaning out bins getting them ready for corn. Pagel predicts that “it’s going to be a normal fall” for harvest.

The Marbles Mapleton, Minn. “The crops all look great,” Harlan Marble told The Land on Aug. 23, but he was hoping that summer would make a reappearance in the forecast. “We need some heat to bring this corn along further,” he said. The corn has started to slowly dent and “we’ve got relatively good ears.” The soybeans are still setting pods, and Marble is

The Heusinkvelds Wykoff, Minn. Nate Heusinkveld’s crops are doing “real good” on the moisture front, with two inches of rain in the past week. The Land spoke with Heusinkveld Aug. 21 as he was gearing up for corn silage harvest — most likely the second weekend of September. He finished up his third crop hay which “yielded really good,” and in about 10 days, the fourth crop hay will be ready for harvest. The corn is maturing, Heusinkveld said: “A lot of it,

the milk’s gone out of.” He reported that the Mower County Fair went well, with one of his heifers moving on to the Minnesota State Fair. “The kids did good.” Now it’s time to get ready for harvest. “We’ll go through the chopper, get the corn head ready.” He likes what he sees out in the fields: “There’s going to be a lot of 200-bushel-an-acre corn. The only thing left to worry about is a frost.”

attributes to “good growing The Kemps conditions and a lack of Sibley, Iowa stress” this growing season. “The crops are looking good,” Brian Kemp told Meanwhile, he said the The Land on Aug. 23. He was happy to report the soybeans are doing well, too. crops aren’t showing any signs of heat stress, and Kemp did not have to spray with two and a half inches rain in the last two for aphids this year, as they weeks they are doing well for moisture. “We’re behind in heat units,” he said, although warmer seemed to mostly keep their distance from his weather was in the forecast. Kemp said the corn neighborhood. Overall, he said, “Prospects are good for a decent crop.” is “just starting to dent,” and he’s pleased that the ears are filled to the tip — something he

somewhat concerned that the crop is growing up rather than filling out. Overall, however, he said he has “no concerns with the crops whatsoever.” Marble will be taking a break from the farm to have surgery on his wrist on Aug. 28, then on to physical therapy. He is bound and determined to get all healed up and “be back in good shape to drive the combine.”

Author rebels against military food in her kitchen You are hungry. It’s been a long time since you’ve eaten and you’re ready to recruit the family, march to the oven, draft a couple recipes, and attack your plate. And whatever it is you’ll chow on, you can bet the U.S. military had a hand in it, as you’ll learn in “Combat-Ready Kitchen” by Anastacia Marx de Salcedo. What’s inside the food you eat? As a “passionate home cook” who devoured cookbooks “like novels,” Anastacia Marx de Salcedo wondered. With two school-age children, she naturally wanted to feed them the most nutritious breakfasts and pack for them the healthiest lunches possible — but while doing some research, she was handed “an unpleasant surprise.” It should come as no big news that the U.S. military has a lot of mouths to feed. In order to do that, an entire department has been toiling for decades to create meals that are nutritious but efficient. What de Salcedo learned was that the government’s methods for making those meals have

affected what goes on your table. Thanks to the military, for instance, we consume granola bars (meant to give soldiers an easily-toted energy boost) by the ton. We know what foods remain tasty, packed in (and stored for years in) tin cans. We enjoy freezedried produce at breakfast, but not on our sandwiches; researchers tried to freeze-dry meat but soldiers hated it. Because the military saw that microwaves worked well to heat food,

those appliances are ubiquitous in our kitchens. Uncle Sam finessed methods for moving meat to far-flung eaters, which affects the way we buy our pork chops and steaks. Our bread, chips, snacks, “practically every bag, box, can, bottle, jar, and carton we buy” has been tinkered with by the U.S. military because it needs commercial food producers to be ready and able to ramp up production quickly in times of war. In other words, says de Salcedo, you and your children are “chowing down like special ops,” just in case. And that, she believes, isn’t the healthiest idea we’ve ever deployed… Certainly, you love to eat. You might even enjoy making said meal, but will that which you read in “Combat-Ready

Kitchen” put you at ease? Possibly not, because some of what author Anastacia Marx de Salcedo shares is rather disturbing but surprisingly… not surprising. Using that conundrum, de Salcedo takes readers back to ancient times, helpfully explaining how the feeding of Roman troops has evolved into the grab-andgo we enlist at home. In describing somewhat of a historical timeline mixed with an untangling of modern technology, de Salcedo eventually leads us to her conclusion of why military messing isn’t good for civilians — even though it’s almost necessary — and then she peeks into the future. Be aware that this book is filled with everything you forgot from high school science class, and it’s a mess of acronyms. My advice, therefore — and especially if you love to eat and like to know where your food comes from — is to try “Combat-Ready Kitchen,” but take it in small bites. 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 three years old and never goes anywhere without a book. She lives in Wisconsin with three dogs and 10,000 books. ❖

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Legal issue info available A new eight-part series of fact sheets on farming and agricultural legal issues is now available online. The new topics cover entity selection and restrictions, trusts, landowner liability, water rights and drainage, mitigating counter-party risk, labor law and the Affordable Care Act. The fact sheets are from the University of Minnesota Extension Agricultural Business Management team and attorney Phillip L. Kunkel and others from the Gray Plant Mooty law firm. The eight new fact sheets are part of a 24-part farm legal series aimed at protecting business viability and regulatory compliance for farmers. “The new fact sheets cover topics that producers have been asking questions about...” said Bob Craven, University of

Minnesota Extension economist. “The updates to the existing fact sheets assure the series is current with changes in Minnesota and federal law.” Sixteen existing online resources in the series have been updated to reflect regulatory changes. The revised fact sheets cover topics including farm leases, agricultural production and marketing contracts, financing the farm operations, mortgages and contracts for deed, tax considerations of liquidations and reorganizations, and bankruptcy. The complete series of fact sheets can be found at http://www.extension.umn. edu/agriculture/business/taxation/ or call Gary Hachfeld at (507) 389-6722.

Tracy, Minn.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

t has been decades since most people would go to town on Saturday night and listen to a community band concert. But the sound of the community band has not died away completely. Some small towns still boast a band that stirs its listeners. The Tracy Community Band celebrated its 25th anniversary this year under the leadership of Clint Peterson. Peterson was the local high school band director from 1960-1986. Many of the approximately 35 members played under Peterson in high school, while some are current high school band members. In 1990, Tracy held an all-school reunion, and Peterson directed a 100-piece alumni band for the occasion. After the reunion, Peterson said, “a group decided to stay together and play.” First trombone player Harold Hewitt is a retired

farmer who still helps his son on the farm. He pointed out a number of men and women who come in from the farm for the weekly rehearsal and to play at special occasions and in parades. The oldest member is 79-year-old Chauncey Muedeking who still farms because “I’m still having fun,” he said. He has also been playing taps at veterans’ funerals for over 60 years. The band plays at fundraisers and special events, and in local parades. They left the area once to go to Washington, D.C., when they were invited to represent Minnesota at the National Festival of the States. They make good music, but they have good fun, too. Joking around before an outdoor concert on a beautiful summer evening, one woman remarked that when she raised her hand to keep a band going after

the reunion, “I thought we were voting for pizza.” Asked if they march in parades or ride a bandwagon, there was a ripple of laughter. “We play or we march,” a member said. “We don’t have breath to do both.” Their program of marches, hymn tune arrangements, and other band music brings back memories for listeners who once sat at a bandshell and enjoyed a concert. Playing in the band is also memorable for some of its older members. “Clint was the high school band director,” one member said. “I feel like I never left school.” The Tracy Community Band’s last performance of the summer season will be at the town’s Box Car Days parade on Labor Day.
