Dark-to-dark milkings, second cups January was a quiet month on the southern Illinois dairy farm of my youth. Maybe it was quiet because we were quiet, drained after December’s month-long buildup to Christmas and New Year’s. Maybe it was quiet because most of our farm machines, like all of our fields, were quiet.

FARM & FOOD FILE Whatever the reason, JanuBy Alan Guebert ary still brought 100 Holstein cows to our dairy barn twice a day. These mid-winter milkings always began in morning darkness and always ended in nighttime darkness. That dark-to-dark schedule didn’t make the days longer but it sure made ’em pass more slowly.

Even the cows sensed it. They were slow to trudge into the parlor and slow to leave its semi-warmth.

Our slower-than-usual, nothing-to-do-today pace became their slow, nothing-to-do-either pace. It was the one time of the year man and bovine seemed to be in perfect synch. That January pace was the same pace Jackie, the farm’s full-time field hand, maintained year-round. Neither laggard nor speedball, Jackie mostly used this one gear — equal to about third gear our on farm’s fleet of Oliver tractors — whether he was bedding the dry cow shed in winter or hauling hay in summer.

Jackie was never in a hurry because time wasn’t something he watched. As long-time readers may recall, Jackie didn’t watch time because he couldn’t tell time. Time was a concept to him, not a fact.

As such, time to Jackie became the time it took for him to drink a cup of Folger’s instant coffee in the dairy barn as he watched the morning milking. Time then became the time the mailman drove by, about 10 a.m. most days. Noon was when he noticed everyone on the move — dinnertime, don’t you know — and quitting time, 6 p.m., was when he figured it was time for him to quit.

In more than 25 years of working on that farm, Jackie rarely missed any of those times by more than 10 minutes either way.

In January, however, Jackie’s slow pace slowed even more. He’d linger over two cups of Folger’s in the dairy parlor each morning. My father, always patient, said nothing. It was, after all, January. Soon enough, Jackie would disappear to do the chore he knew awaited him and, an hour or so later, he’d be back in the dairy barn for another cup of coffee.

These mid-winter milkings alway began in morning darkness and always ended in nightime darkness. That dark-to-dark schedule didn’t make the days longer but it sure made ’em pass more slowly.

Again, my father, always patient, said nothing.

Howard, the dairy’s full-time herdsman, had a similar no-clock clock. Unlike his younger brother, however, he could tell time; he just didn’t need to.

Most Januarys passed without my great Uncle Honey on the farm. Technically, according to the Social Security Administration anyway, Honey was retired so he often spent winter afternoons playing either euchre or pinochle with some friends as a baby bottle of Budweiser, his daily limit, warmed nearby.

One January he and Aunt Esther actually took a Caribbean cruise to — if memory serves correctly — all points south including Venezuela. My father, who did not inherit Honey’s hurry-up giddy up, must have been elated: an entire month with no iron to unbend or weld, no tractor clutch to repair or replace, and no fire to be on the lookout for or to put out.

The person on the farm who enjoyed January’s slack pace more than anyone had to be my mother.

With Christmas over, all the children back in school and no Uncle Honey to cook noon dinner for, she finally had time to pursue her passion, sewing.

Weeks-long sessions yielded dresses, shirts, winter coats, and blouses that were so finely crafted that no one could tell whether they were homemade or store bought.

Soon enough, though, February always arrived.

Along with it came Jackie’s single-cup mornings, the threat of a refreshed Uncle Honey reappearing and, usually, a long-enough thaw to remind us that another year’s fieldwork was about to begin.

And that was just fine; we had enjoyed a quiet January, after all.

OPINION

Letter: State must invest in roads, schools To the Editor: In The Land Jan. 1 issue, an article titled “Legislator talks property taxes” presented the views of Realtor Roger Heller and State Rep. Tim Miller. Heller said, “Land investors are heading to Iowa and South Dakota. Both states have more favorable property taxes.”

Personally, I would much rather see farmers buy-

ing land in Minnesota instead of land investors.

Miller said, “No” to any gas tax increase. As a longtime farmer, I do hope we continually invest what is needed to maintain our roads, bridges, and public schools to the best of our abilities.

Seeley: 2015 one of best crop seasons in 50 years

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Agriculture has stepped up and is assertively adapting to changing climates, said Mark Seeley, University of Minnesota “weather man.” Seeley specializes in weather and climate impacts on Minnesota agriculture so he knows Mark Seeley what he’s talking about.

“We see Minnesota and Midwestern farmers aggressively tackling the problems of erosion that occur with these severe events. Timing of fertilization is changing such as more split applications to minimize runoff or leaching losses during the grow-

ing season,” Seeley said. “Hybrid selection, even crop choices are being considered because farmers are more in tune with how the growing seasons have changed as a result of climate change.”

Seeley said he is certain that agriculture was a prime topic of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris in December.

Seeley sees evidence that adaptation changes are well underway and he expects them to accelerate.

“Admittedly it was a slow start some years back, but farmers today seem open minded about making changes in how they farm because of changing weather scenarios,” he said.

Cover crops play a role in the farming landscape.

“Items such as nutrient recycling, preservation of organic matter, cover and protection of the soil are key reasons why cover crops have now become such an important items of conversation and practice,” Seeley said.

“They have multiple benefits to our landscape. I’m pleased to see our Extension Service actively promoting the education and adaptation of this major change in the farming landscape.”

Weather forecast With 2015 being a near perfect growing season in most of Minnesota, there were fewer weather extremes that have become common in recent years.

“We did have a relatively quiet year from the standpoint of extremes and we had significant moderation through the entire crop season,” noted Seeley.

Because of timely rains and moderate temperatures, Seeley called 2015 the best cropping season in well over 50 years. Now thanks to a wetter than normal November with soils still unfrozen, there has been good recharge of soil moisture. Any dry subsoil areas are mostly confined to northwest Minnesota, said Seeley. Once soils are frozen, recharge of winter moisture via snow and or rain is lessened considerably.

Now farmers are looking to the weather predicted for the 2016 cropping season So his take on how to ‘think your way’ into the 2016 cropping season as it pertains to weather?

“We’re a little bit uncertain on spring moisture patterns, but moisture recharge was good this fall. We’re noting that the first half of winter will be milder than normal and the second half is more uncertain,” See SEELEY, pg. 7

Midwest wind storms are becoming more significant Scientists are learning more and more about the Pacific waters and its ocean temperature cycles.

— Mark Seeley it’s much easier to get a handle on what the temperature trends are going to be,” Seeley said.

“I think we are looking at an overall similar weather situation as we just experienced in 2015.

The only complicating factor is that there may be a few more rainy periods this spring. But at this time with the Pacific still being in a mostly neutral standing, I don’t think we need to plan for any particular variation from the climate and weather patterns of the past year.”

Mark Seeley was interviewed by The Land in December 2015. ❖

SEELEY, from pg. 6A said Seeley. “We could go either way. We could accumulate some abundant snowfall but it’s a bit of a wild card.”

Seeley supports University of Minnesota Extension research results that indicate protective reduced tillage can minimize soil loss, especially during extreme winds of fall and winter.

He noted wind storms are becoming more significant across the Midwest. Reduced tillage protects the soils up to a limit but sudden wind events of 40, 50, even 60 mph winds literally scour the landscape regardless of tillage said Seeley.

El Niño Seeley explained that over time the Pacific has produced an El Niño current where the ocean waters in the eastern Pacific, just off the equator, are warmer than average. The energy that is part of that warm body of water gets moved away through a stronger southern jet stream out of the sub-tropics. That has been a good supplier of moisture into the southern and central United States, he noted.

Seeley said El Niño is the reason for occasional heavy flooding in the Southwest, which occurred again this winter season and generous rains across the Corn Belt.

“El Niño is associated with a generally favorable weather pattern during the summer,” he said.

He pointed out that occasional large scale areas of turbulence form in the Indian Ocean between India and Australia and move across the Pacific.

“These generally are short-time occurrences but when they do happen, they can influence weather patterns across the United States for up to six weeks,” he said.

“We experienced a couple of those occurrences in 2004 when suddenly around St. Patrick’s Day rain or snow in the Rockies patterns developed which persisted into mid-June. That set us up for the biggest crop year ever, which was reinforced with another rain period about six weeks later.

“Scientists are learning more and more about the Pacific waters and its ocean temperature cycles. Also those areas of scattered turbulence. We’re learning more about intermittent features like La Niña and El Niño, and long term observations of how ocean temperatures sequence back and forth every 10 years or so.”

Seeley explained that El Niño or La Niña and turbulence migrating out of the Indian Ocean really impact the Corn Belt.

“We’re learning how to better identify those storms and are now monitoring these disturbances on a weekly basis,” he said.

When it comes to forecasting temperature and moisture, Seeley explained that temperature forecasting has a more accurate component due to a multitude of thermometers at many locations where data has been cataloged, stored, and analyzed over a long period of time.

“So when analyses are done of the upper atmosphere and then incorporated with that surface data

PEDv in Feed: What’s new?, 2-3 p.m., L100 H Scott Dee, Director of Research, Pipestone Veterinary Services, will present.

PED has been relatively quiet this past year; however, as immunity in the national herd wanes and biosecrity efforts relax, understanding and managing the risk of contaminated feed becomes critical. This seminar will focus on the survivability of PEDv in individual feed ingredients, data on mitigation strategies, as well as the importance of biosecurity at the feed mill. In addition, results from a recently completed study modeling the risk of transboundary infection (China to the United States) will be shared.

Our total field hours went from 430 hours with two, 4-wheel drive tractors down to 210 hours with one 4-wheel drive tractor,” said Ryberg. “This rig makes the tilled strips plus applies fertilizer so essentially both jobs on one pass. And that’s it. Next spring we’re ready to plant.”

We started doing some serious looking at what we were doing to the soil structure of our farm land.

“This fall we were using six-tenths of a gallon diesel fuel per acre compared with almost five gallons per acre with our conventional rigs,” said Ryberg.

“That was both a tremendous surprise and recognition that we were making way too many trips across our fields.”

New routine At Ryberg Farms, the yearly cropping program involves 2,200 acres continuous corn, 600 acres of sugar beets and 700 acres of soybeans. Soils are mostly silty clay loams kept well drained through an extensive pattern tiled system.

The residue issue in 22-inch rows is not an issue on the soybean and beet ground, noted Ryberg.

“Corn stalks however can be a challenge. The Warrior has a deep cog wheel that handles trash better and moves more dirt. The tillage action of this cog wheel mixes trash into the row center building an 8-inch wide and 3to-4-inch tall berm in the process.

Trash wheels on our planter do the fine tuning that might be needed,” he explained.

Ryberg estimates $90,000 yearly savings in costs TILLAGE, from pg. 12A Minn. With a machine that both tills and fertilizes your soils, these rigs are $300,000 for the 24-row unit purchased by Ryberg Farms.

“We did some research. Lots of brands in this strip till equipment but very few with 22-inch rows so this one seemed to be the Cadillac. The fact that it’s built in Minnesota we think is a plus too. Quick service and any questions readily answered,” said Ryberg.

Going forward he estimates a $90,000 yearly savings in fuel, labor, and fertilizer costs, plus ongoing improvements in soil structure, which Ryberg says are priceless but vital to the future sustainability of row crop farming.

The Ryberg’s Soil Warrior came with a fertilizer tank so feeding and tillage is a one-trip deal. They plant with either a 24-row or 36-row planter. They

use an RTK power steering system and strip and plant between the old rows.

“It works like a charm,” said Ryberg.

They did a trial run last spring with a leased Soil Warrior on 200 acres of sugarbeet stubble. This fall when strip tilling for next year’s corn they also applied between 50 and 70 pounds of urea in the strip along with variable rates of P and K ranging from 75 to 350 pounds per acre. Because their fields

are mapped and soil tested, their Soil Warrior is set up to handle variable fertilizer applications on the go.

Next spring when planting they’ll do a weed and feed program which includes 50 pounds of 28 percent N and Verdict herbicide to kick start the corn. Then they can side dress additional applications as needed.

See TILLAGE, pg. 15A

Ryberg sold equipment, cleaned out machine shed They’re not yet into variable rate populations, but it may be added to their agenda soon as they have the tools to go that route. With the need to trim input costs, variable rates on both fertilizer and seed are inevitable.

Ryberg said he is intrigued with this new technology working its way into crop production. And he has two great guys on his crew that understand these electronic tools.

“They set it up for me and I can then run it too but they are the head start guys on these new systems,” Ryberg said.

We think we did it for all the right reasons, the most important being rebuilding our soils.

“We feel good about this. We think we did it for all the right reasons, the most important being rebuilding our soils,” said Ryberg. “Yes, neighbors are watching and so are we! One of my biggest naysayers recently asked if we could do some strip tillage for him too.”

Grain Outlook Contract lows set The following market analysis is for the week ending Jan. 8.

CORN — Welcome to 2016! I hope this finds everyone healthy, happy, and looking forward to a great new year! The grain markets got off to a rocky start with a sharp push lower on the first trading day of 2016 with funds heavy sellers. New contract lows were set late in the week as prices trended lower; $3.48 1⁄2 per bushel in the nearby March contract, $3.60 1⁄4 per bushel in the July, and $3.74 1⁄2 per bushel in the new crop December contract.

A plethora of U.S. Department of Agriculture reports will be released on Tuesday, Jan. 12, PHYLLIS NYSTROM including the final 2014-15 crop CHS Hedging Inc. St. Paul report, December 1 stocks, and refreshed 2015-16 balance sheets. The average estimates for the 2014-15 crop year include a yield of 169.2 bushels per acre, production at 13.646 billion bushels and ending stocks of 1.785 billion bushels. The December ending stocks were 1.785 billion bushels. The ending stocks numbers for both corn and soybeans, if the estimates prove correct, will be the highest ever for Dec. 1. Corn stocks as of Dec. 1 are forecast at 11.237 billion bushels vs.

11.211 billion bushels last Dec. 1. Corn production in Argentina is projected at 25.64 million metric tons (25.60 in December) and for Brazil 81.33 mmt (81.50 mmt in December). World corn ending stocks are expected to be 212.1 mmt, up slightly from December’s 211.85 mmt.

Weekly export sales were a marketing year low at a dismal 10 million bushels and the second lowest See NYSTROM, pg. 19A

Livestock Angles Volatility is back The holiday markets that seemed slow are now over and the volatility for the most part is back in the livestock markets. This particularly true in the cattle complex and will likely continue for the foreseeable future. The hog appears to be a bit more benign but the volatility could increase in the weeks and months ahead for this market.

It would appear that the recovery rally in the cattle market has come to an end after the first full week in January. During the recent recovery cash prices jumped as well as the cutout values and the futures prices. However, the first full week in January ended with the futures market posting a weekly reversal JOE TEALE and cash cattle trading lower Broker than the previous week.

Great Plains Commodity An interesting fact that during Afton, Minn. this recovery that started just before the Christmas holiday, the cash price paid for cattle rallied over $17 per hundredweight and the beef cutout rallied over $40/cwt. in a very short period of time. The fact that the prices probably overextended on the downside, have now overcompensated on the upside. This still reflects the major problem affecting the cattle market, which is the battle between supply and demand. Obviously the supply of cattle is still a concern. However as reflected in the recent rally as the beef cutout rapidly moved higher the demand continued to shrink reflecting a slowing in demand at higher prices. With the competitive meats at much lower values on a pound per pound basis, beef should continue to struggle until there is more parity in price. With a flaying economy worldwide, this does not bode well for demand for beef in the larger picture.

See TEALE, pg. 19A

Grain Angles Challenging times When talking to producers who farmed in the 1980s you’ll likely hear about: interest rates, low commodity prices, declining land values (resulting in some consolidation.) Consistent with agriculture’s cyclical nature, today we are again facing a compressed margin environment in grain and livestock markets. The difference is that many producers have learned from history and their debt-to-equity and debt to assessed ratios are better than in previous market downturns.

Agriculture is a commodity business and that means prices and returns are volatile. The crude oil market is a prime example of this, with prices around one third of what they were just a LENSING year and a half ago. News of oil KURT AgStar Assistant VP & company bankruptcies are Industry Specialist becoming somewhat common.

Waite Park, Minn.

Fortunately, at this point, we are not hearing much about a great many agricultural operations folding. However, when talking to area farmers, most tend to agree there is a storm brewing on some farms. Managing risk like crop inputs, commodity price swings, and financial or debt management continues to be essential for any successful farm.

The excellent yields in the upper Midwest have helped hold balance sheets in the black and incomes from assuming large losses. This is not the case when you go to the eastern Corn Belt in states like Indiana and Ohio, where farmers there are dealing with below Actual Production History yields and significantly lower prices. Are we prepared for a lower yields at today’s prices? For many the answer might be no. Farmers realize they cannot control prices.

Hog market turning corner TEALE, from pg. 18A Producers should be cognizant of these market conditions and protect inventories as needed.

The hog market has quietly begun to turn the corner as prices both in cash and futures have advanced in recent weeks. It would appear that the value of pork versus the other competitive meats has been the driver behind the price advance.

Although the advance has not been very sharp, it is showing stability in the overall hog market. An example is the pork cutout has remained nearly unchanged over the past month and cash hog prices have increased slightly over that same period.

It seems apparent that at the retail level pork prices has captured the public interest because of the value in comparison the other sources of protein. Based upon recent USDA Reports, hog numbers are adequate to meet this rising demand for pork, which should help to stabilize the hog market.

The only concern would be the poor economic outlook for 2016. This could have a bearing on future hog prices which could be detrimental to any further advancement in prices. Therefore producers should continue to monitor market conditions and protect inventories as warranted. ❖

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

LENSING, from pg. 18A farmers revolve around what farmers are doing that they can control. Many growers have already locked in variables like rent, seed, and fertilizer. Have you thought about locking in inputs for the 2017 crop year and beyond, or talked to a grain marketing advisor? If you have multiple year land rent contracts have you considered securing a percent of other costs; for example diesel fuel? If you are only locking in land rents and no other inputs or outputs you are betting land rents will go up, commodity prices will go up, or non-land inputs will come down.

In the end, some of the best inventions were the result of necessity. The market will continue to leave opportunities for the most efficient or higher net margin producers. Hopefully, we have, as an indus-

compared to 2.528 billion bushels last year. Brazil’s bean production is pegged at 99.29 mmt (100 mmt in December) and Argentina’s at 57.28 mmt (57.0 mmt in December). World soybean ending stocks are anticipated to be 82.57 mmt, in-line with December’s 82.58 mmt number. Argentina’s government is predicting their soybean production at 60 mmt compared to the last USDA forecast of 57 mmt. Argentina has also been disappointed in grower sales post-export tax cuts. It’s estimated 20 mmt of soybeans are still stored in white silo bags and the extent of their currency devaluation hasn’t been big enough to inspire growers to sell heavily.

Crude oil in the week ending Jan. 8 fell to $32.10 per barrel, its lowest level since December 2003.

World oversupply and weak demand are on-going pressure points.

OUTLOOK: March soybeans were a penny higher for the week at $8.65 1⁄4 per bushel, July fell 2 cents to close at $8.74 3⁄4 and November beans dropped 4 1⁄4 cents to $8.78 1⁄2 per bushel. Looking into the coming week, the Jan. 2 final crop report for the 2014-15 crop, the grain stocks as of Dec. 1, and updated 2015-16 balance sheets will determine the week’s price direction. Conab will also release an update on Brazil’s soybean production on Jan. 12. Barring any report surprises, next support in the March soybeans is the contract low at $8.47 per bushel, then $8.44 1⁄4 per bushel. Improved weather in South America, concern over China’s economics, weak equity markets, in addition to the same negative influences that are affecting the corn market, continue to cast a defensive tone to the soybean market. ❖

since November 2013. If it occurs, be ready to reward the market as it may be short-lived. A report from the University of Illinois said there was a “significant chance of 2016 corn harvest prices below $3.00.”

SOYBEANS — Soybeans began 2016 on a sour note with losses across the board. Significant fund selling, beneficial rain in South America and a diving Chinese stock market were major factors in the decline. March soybeans avoided a new contract low ($8.47 contract low), but just barely when it fell to $8.52 per bushel at mid-week. Fund short-covering was apparent by the end of the week, pulling the nearby beans into the plus column, but deferred contracts closed in the red. Beneficial rainfall in South America to close out 2015 lent pressure to the soy complex, as did poor economic reports from China.

This past week is credited with being the wettest in central and northeastern Brazil, adding yield potential to maturing soybeans. As for China, their stock market plummeted 7 percent to begin the week. The government implemented a market circuit breaker trigger to try and limit market volatility, essentially halting trading for the day if their CSI 300 moves 7 percent. However, when the plunge occurred again during the week and trading was stopped for a second time, it was decided the stoppage was adding to volatility and the measure has been discontinued until further notice. China’s Producer Price Index fell for a tenth consecutive month, and their currency, the yuan, continues to devalue.

Weekly soybean export sales were in line with expectations at 23.5 million bushels, but were the second lowest of the marketing year. Year to date sales are running 11 percent behind last year. The USDA’s export forecast of 1.715 billion bushels would be a 7 percent year-on-year decline. The newly released November Fats and Oils report showed 165.8 million bushels of soybeans were crushed, down 2.5 percent from the previous month.

Trade estimates for the USDA’s 2014-15 final crop report include a 48.3 bu./acre yield, production at 3.981 billion bushels and ending stocks of 468 million bushels. On the December crop report, ending stocks were 465 million bushels. December 1 soybean stocks are projected at 2.720 billion bushels

NYSTROM, from pg. 18A weekly sales number of the marketing year. This compares to Brazil’s record corn exports in December of 6.27 mmt, well above December 2014 exports of 3.41 mmt. There were also rumors this week that Brazil was selling corn into South Africa where they are suffering their worst drought in 20 years. This makes it easy to understand why our corn exports continue to flounder. Our exports were the second lowest in 40 years for the September through November time slot. U.S. corn exports are 25 percent behind last year when the USDA is anticipating a 6 percent year-on-year decline. We need to average 29 million bushels of sales per week to hit the current 1.75 billion bushel export forecast. Traders’ expectations for the USDA report includes a cut in exports.

The November monthly census report released on Jan. 4 indicated corn used for ethanol was 435 million bushels, slightly higher than last year’s 434 million bushels. Also in the report, sorghum used for ethanol was 10 million bushels vs. 3.7 million bushels last November. Weekly ethanol production was the third highest ever, up 4,000 barrels per day week over week at 996,000 barrels per day or 293 million gallons per week. Ethanol stocks jumped from 847 million gallons to 886 million gallons, the biggest single week gain since January 2015.

Also in the news as 2016 got into full swing was North Korea’s successful test of some type of nuclear weapon. It was thought to be a hydrogen bomb.

Weapon experts disputed North Korea’s claims, saying the explosion measured similar to previous tests. Preliminary trading on the news supported the U.S. dollar and put pressure on commodities.

OUTLOOK: For the week, March corn fell 1 3⁄4 cents to close at $3.57 per bushel, July was off 1 1⁄2 cents at $3.69 while the December was unchanged at $3.83 per bushel. The contract low in the March contract at $3.48 1⁄2 is first support, then $3.46 3⁄4 per bushel. Expectations are for the January crop report to lean to the negative side. Outside factors including a strong U.S. dollar, weak global economics and global competition are all contributors to a weak outlook.

Dairy product demand drops after holidays Western butter makers felt less urgency to make butter this week now that the holidays have passed. Production is still active, but has slowed to match the reduced, post-holiday, domestic butter demand. milk clearing into bottled uses, higher cream volumes are spinning off of standardizing operations. Butter manufacturers report interest is flat to lower from retailers, but food service demand is steady. There is some concern that First Quarter needs were prefilled in December when prices were lower.

Thus, new butter sales may lag in early 2016, DMN warned. Western butter makers felt less urgency to make butter this week now that the holidays have passed. Production is still active, but has slowed to match the reduced, post-holiday, domestic butter demand.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed Friday at 73.25 cents per pound, down 2.25 cents on the week and 26.75 cents below a year ago, with 13 carloads traded this week at the CME. You’ll recall that preliminary USDA data showed November milk production totaled 15.6 billion pounds, up just 0.6 percent from November 2014.

USDA’s latest Dairy Products report shows where that milk went and didn’t. Total cheese output hit 975.5 million pounds, down 2.2 percent from October but 0.6 percent above a year ago. Year to date production, at 10.7

California vats produced 201.4 million pounds of cheese, down 1.3 percent from a year ago while Wisconsin output, at 251.9 million pounds, was up 4.0 percent..

Butter churns produced 150.8 million pounds, up 2.2 percent from October and 4.4 percent above a year ago.

Year to date output totaled 1.7 billion pounds, down 0.9 percent. California butter output, at 45.5 million pounds, was up 9 percent from October but 3.9 percent below a year ago.

HighGround Dairy’s Eric Meyer pointed out that November butter production turned positive vs. last year after being lower in October. “This was the largest monthly percentage gain (on daily average basis) between October and November since 2011 and at plus 4.4 percent, the highest YOY growth since December 2014.” He adds that while California butter output was down 3.9 percent or 1.9 million pounds from a year ago, collectively, Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Arizona saw production skyrocket, up 7.7 million pounds or 32 percent over November 2014.

Nonfat dry milk production totaled 126.1 million pounds, up 6.7 percent from October, 16.9 percent below a year ago, with year to date output at 1.7 billion pounds, up 4.1 percent.

Skim milk powder totaled 44.1 million pounds, up a whopping 44.1 percent from a year ago, with year to date output at 404.5 million pounds, down 19.2 percent from 2014. California’s nonfat dry milk output was down 21.6 percent from a year ago.

Global stocks tumbled lower after Chinese stock market trading was suspended for the second time this week, following a 7 percent decline.

The cheddar blocks closed Jan. 8 at $1.46 per pound, down 4.75 cents on the week and 13 cents below a year ago. The cheddar barrels finished at $1.54, up a penny on the week, a halfcent below a year ago, and 8 cents above the blocks. Two cars of block traded hands this week and nine of barrel.

■ Midwest cheese manufacturers are resuming regular schedules following the holidays, according to Dairy Market News. Production is active with discounted milk available into next week.

Although having Christmas and New Years on Friday this year cut into restaurant sales, cheese makers say food service demand has been relatively good. Domestic retail demand is also strong. Mozzarella demand is picking up as pizza companies resume production and push a little more in advance of the football playoffs and Super Bowl.

With the major winter holidays passed and many school sessions resuming, some additional milk is being diverted into bottling. Western milk is also readily available and manufacturers are choosing to make cheese with it. Cheese demand has remained relatively good but inventories are building, DMN says.

Speaking of the world market, U.S. exports in November totaled just $377.3 million. This is down 24 percent from the previous year and the lowest figure in nearly five years, reports the U.S. Dairy Export Council’s Alan Levitt in his first blog of 2016. “Shipments of nonfat dry milk/skim milk powder and lactose continued to track slightly higher than the previous year, but cheese and whey exports have fallen into a lower gear. Sales of butterfat, WMP and MPC have dwindled to negligible levels,” he said.

■ The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s latest National Milk Cost of Production report shows November’s total costs were down from October and November 2014. Total feed costs averaged $11.19/cwt., down 72 cents from September, down 64 cents from October, and $1.92 below November 2014. Purchased feed costs, at $6.01/ cwt., were down 71 cents from the September level, down 50 cents from October, and $1.30 below November 2014. Total costs, including feed, bedding, marketing, fuel, repairs, hired labor, taxes, etc., at $23.20/cwt., were down 59 cents from September, down 68 cents from October, and $1.76 below a year ago.

MIELKE, from p. 21 The report also shows November nonfat dry milk stocks at 200.5 million pounds, up 11.3 percent from October but 8.4 percent below those a year ago.

■ Eric Meyer wrote that “On the surface, cheese production appeared somewhat neutral versus HighGround’s expectations. November production can swing above or below October on a daily average basis, and American, cheddar and total cheese all fell within normal ranges. But what turned up bearish on these statistics was the 5 million pound upward (up 1.8 percent) revision in October’s Cheddar production data.”

“Digging deeper into the data, the entire October revision can be attributed to the Atlantic region. The East Coast represents just 8.4 percent of the country’s total Cheddar production, but 5 million pounds of unaccounted cheese is enough to add more to the balance sheet which will keep a bearish tone in the market.”

to University of Wisconsin Emeritus Professor, Dr. Robert Cropp. The U.S. uses about 50 percent of its milk for cheese, Cropp told Wisconsin Public Radio, while we only drink about 25 percent. As I reported last week, U.S. cheese consumption is at an all-time high but still lags per capita consumption of several other countries. So any time U.S. cheese consumption can be grown, it helps support farm milk prices.

We talked about one of those ways in Friday’s DairyLine with Brent Charleton, Vice President of EnWave Corporate Affairs in Vancouver, British Columbia. Charleton developed a new cheese snack called Moon Cheese that’s crunchy and about the size of popcorn.

Moon Cheese has exploded eastward as far as New York. It is now featured by Starbucks corporate coffee chains.

In dairy politics, a joint press release this week from the National Milk Producers Federation, the International Dairy Foods Association, Milk Processor Education Program, and the National Dairy Council praised the final version of the 2015 federal Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The groups state the guidelines “affirms the vital, unrivaled contribution made by dairy foods, and reminds Americans that they will continue to benefit from three daily servings of low-fat and fat-free dairy.”

“The DGA notes that current intakes of dairy foods for most Americans ‘are far below recommendations of the Healthy U.S.-Style Pattern,’ and they call for a shift to consume more dairy products. Milk, cheese and yogurt are important answers to the question of how Americans should change their diets for the better,” the press release stated.

“As America strives to create a culture of wellness, the 2015 DGA embraces flexibility to help people build and enjoy healthy eating patterns that will nourish them physically, while also nourishing cultural and personal connections. Regardless of one’s path to a healthy diet, three daily servings of low-fat or fat-free dairy foods like milk, cheese or yogurt can play an important role in healthy eating and wellbeing, from childhood through adulthood,” the DGA states.

Cutting costs by $100 per acre won’t turn profit enue reduction curve but a reaction of the third year of lower prices.

Cutting costs Schnitkey has evaluated the reality and challenge of cutting costs by $100 per acre.

While cost reductions can come solely from cash rent, this is not popular among landowners. Schnitkey pointed out that many landowners have noted the need to reduce costs, but question why those cost reductions necessarily have to come from cash rent.

Many non-land costs also increased from 2006 through 2013. Schnitkey noted that many non-land costs increased, often proportionately more than cash rent. He listed cost increases for corn grown in central Illinois from 2006 to 2014 were: 1.

Machinery depreciation — 230 percent from $20 per acre in 2006 to $66 per acre in 2014; 2.

Seed — 164 percent increase from $55 per acre in 2006 to $119 per acre in 2014;

3.

Crop insurance — 145 percent increase from $11 per acre in 2006 to $27 per acre in 2014; 4.

Drying — 109 percent increase from $8 per acre in 2006 to $23 per acre in 2014; 5.

Fertilizer — 98 percent increase from $82 per acre in 2006 to $163 per acre in 2014; 6.

Cash rent — 95 percent increase from $150 in 2006 to $294 in 2014.

According to Schnitkey the extent to which non-land costs decrease likely depend on two items: the ability of farmers to postpone or reduce purchases thereby putting pressure on input suppliers to lower prices and the competitiveness of firms within each agricultural supply industry.

“However no matter what happens to non-land costs, sizeable reductions are needed in cash rents to put corn into a profit scenario in 2016,” said Schnitkey.

might increase for 2016 production.

After all, price swings are not unusual.

However, the price increase will have to be large. The proposed 2016 budget contains a $3.75 corn price resulting in $800 gross revenue, with $50 coming from Agriculture Risk Coverage payments. An increase to $4 would result in $800 crop revenue (200 bushel x $4).

However, ARC payments will likely be zero dollars per acre. As a result, a $4 corn price results in roughly the same gross revenue as a $3.75 price factoring in the reduction in ARC payments.

A $4.20 price results in $840 gross revenue but that is still below total costs. Corn price has to be above $4.36 to cover $872 production costs. That $4.36 price does not seem likely at this point.

Third, prices in the $3.75 range are not new. Farmers likely averaged near $3.70 for 2014 production. Given current expectations, much of 2015 production would be sold at below $4 prices. Therefore, 2016 could be the third year of sub-$4 corn prices. Hence, cutting 2016 costs is not ahead of rev-

THE LAND, JANUARY 15, 2016

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Even the potential of cutting costs by $100 per acre likely won’t create a profit opportunity for corn and soybeans in 2016 according to Gary Schnitkey Ph.D., University of Illinois Farm Management specialist. This creates an interesting scenario on profit challenges facing producers.

“Many farms are financially strong and can withstand financial adversity,” he said. “However if costs are not cut and low commodity prices continue, financial problems in the grain sector are inevitable.”

Using 200 bushel yields and $872 per acre production costs for corn in 2016, significant increases in corn and soybean prices are the quick and easy solution. Schnitkey offered three responses to whether higher commodity prices could save the day.

First, the current $3.75 corn price is a reasonable expectation for sales on 2016 production. Futures markets suggest this cash price.

Second, corn and soybean prices

General CRP enrollment continues through February The 49th enrollment period for the General Conservation Reserve Program began on Dec. 1, 2015, and continues through Feb. 26 at local U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency offices throughout the country. The last General CRP sign-up period was in 2013. There appears to be more interest in the CRP enrollment in 2016, due to the current lower crop prices and reduced farm profitability. Currently, there are over 630,000 CRP contracts in place on over 350,000 farms, with just over 23.4 million acres under some type of CRP contract.

In December, 2015, USDA celebrated the 30th anniversary of the CRP program, and three decades of conservation success. The CRP program was developed as part of the 1985 farm bill and was established by USDA on Dec. 23, 1985. CRP has been the largest and most important conservation program in the United States since that time. CRP continues to make major contributions to national efforts to improve water and air quality, prevent soil erosion, protect environmentally

sensitive land, and enhance tion of an annual average of wildlife populations, Some of 49 million tons of greenthe benefits of the CRP prohouse gases, which is equivgram over the past three alent to taking about 9 mildecades recently cited by lion cars off the road.

CRP contracts will expire on just over 1.65 million acres on Sept. 30, 2016.

This includes 92,409 acres in Minnesota, 99,645 acres in Iowa, 58,712 acres in South Dakota, 44,595 acres in North Dakota, and 22,885 acres in Wisconsin. Nationally, slightly over 2.5 million contracted CRP acres will expire in 2017, and nearly 1.5 million acres in 2018.

MARKETING

Enrollment periods for the General CRP program only occur when USDA deems necessary to try to attract additional crop acres into the CRP program, in order to maintain the desired CRP acreage. Sign-up for the Continuous CRP program is on-going, and is likely to continue that way for the foreseeable future. The Continuous CRP program targets the most sensitive environmental land areas, such as filter strips, buffer strips, wetlands, etc.

The Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) program is a CRP partnership with state Conservation Programs, which target specific watersheds, which includes several CREP programs in Minnesota.

The average CRP land rental rate in the United States in 2015 was about $70 per acre, with an average of $51 per acre on General CRP acres, $114 per acre on Continuous CRP acres, and $144 per acre on CREP acres. CRP rental rates vary widely from state to state, and within different regions of a given state.

The current average CRP rental rate in Minnesota is $95 per acre, with an average of $70 per acre on General CRP acres, and $118 per acre on Continuous CRP acres. Most CRP annual land rental rates in southern Minnesota are considerably higher than the state average rate. Some other current average CRP rental rates for Midwestern States are Iowa at $181 per acre, South Dakota at $82 per acre, North Dakota at $45 per acre, and Wisconsin at $111 per acre.

New CRP contracts take effect for 10 or 15 years The last General CRP sign-up was in 2013, when a total of 1,271 CRP bids were submitted in Minnesota, and 985 bids were accepted. There were 25,609 total acres in Minnesota accepted under the 2013 General CRP sign-up. As of November 2015, there were a total of 54,476 CRP contracts in place in Minnesota, with a total of just over 1.1 million acres. Just over 530,000 acres are under a General CRP contract, and slightly over 582,000 acres were under a continuous CRP contract.

USDA adjusts the maximum annual CRP rental rates for Continuous CRP sign-up each year on a county-by-county basis, which are also used as the maximum CRP rates for General CRP enrollment period in a given year. The maximum rental rates are based on the relative productivity of the soils within each county, as well as on the average dry land cash rental rate for each county, based on the National Agriculture Statistics Service annual land rental analysis. Landowners are provided the maximum allowable CRP rental rate prior to making a decision to submit a General CRP bid.

• New CRP contracts for 2016 are for 10 or 15 years, and will be initiated on Oct. 1, 2016, with annual rental payments taking place in October each year.

• Landowners may also receive cost-share assistance up to 50 percent of the costs to establish approved cover crops and practices on CRP acres.

• FSA will rank all bid offers for the General CRP enrollment on the basis of the Environmental Benefits Index. The EBI is used to target the most environmentally sensitive land with the accepted CRP enrollment bids.

Following are the EBI factors used by FSA to evaluate CRP contract offers: • Water quality benefits from reduced erosion, runoff, and leaching.

• Wildlife habitat benefits from land covers on CRP contract acreage.

• On-farm benefits from reduced soil erosion.

• Air quality benefits from reduced wind erosion.

• Benefits that will likely endure beyond the CRP contract period.

THIESSE, from pg. 24A Details on current 2016 CRP enrollment period The enrollment period for the current General CRP sign-up at local USDA FSA offices ends on Feb. 26, 2016. Landowners submit CRP bids on the acres that are desired to be enrolled into the CRP program, which are then evaluated by USDA to determine which acres are accepted.

Following are some things to consider regarding potential enrollment into the General CRP program: • Both new crop land acres and current CRP acres that expire on Sept. 30, 2016 may be offered for enrollment into the General CRP program during this sign-up period.

• Producers with existing CRP contracts that are expiring in 2016 will have no preferential status for keeping their land in the CRP program after this year, and must re-submit a new CRP bid to be reenrolled in the CRP program.

Buffer strips qualify for CRP;contact your SWCD office THIESSE, from pg. 25A may increase the likelihood of acceptance of the CRP offering, since land cost is one of the factors considered by USDA in approving CRP contracts. The Table compares the average per acre CRP bid accepted in the 2013 General CRP sign-up to the average 2014 cash rental rate for crop land (based on University of Minnesota data) for several counties across Minnesota.

For more information on the current General CRP sign-up, or on Continuous CRP enrollment, land owners and producers should contact their local FSA Office, or go to the USDA CRP web site: http://www.fsa.usda.gov/crp Impact of Minnesota’s New Buffer Law

In 2015, a new Buffer Law was initiated in Minnesota by the State Legislature, and signed into law by the Governor. The law calls for buffer strips of a minimum of 16.5 feet along all public ditches, which includes most agriculture drainage ditches in the state, as well as buffer areas that average 50 feet near public waters, such as rivers.

Buffer strips generally qualify under both the General and Continuous CRP programs, which would allow producers to receive some compensation for up to 15 years on the acres that are taken out of production to implement the required buffer strips. Many landowners may prefer to enroll in the Continuous CRP program, since no bidding process would be involved. The CREP program may also apply; however, this

you can make almost anything taste like something else — or you can enhance its taste by adding flavors.

Our palates are hungry for those flavors, which are as addicting as tobacco; in fact, tobacco can be flavored. Schatzker calls it “The Dorito Effect”; it’s “what happens when food gets blander and flavor technology gets better.”

It’s how a corn chip can taste like salad dressing, how many restaurants can offer a large menu and serve it quickly, and it can explain why we eat things that are bad for us.

It also makes nutrition a lie, which

Author uses humor, metaphors to make his point BOOKWORM, from pg. 27A “may be the most compelling lie humans have ever told.”

When I first saw the cover of “The Dorito Effect,” I wanted to raid my pantry. Now, after reading the book, I’m not so sure. I’m not sure about anything I eat anymore. This is the kind of book that makes you call someone up and read passages aloud

because it’s so shocking — even though there are parts that you might already know (or sense). Yes, it’s complicated, but author Mark Schatzker makes it readable through the use of metaphors and food history, and humor that’s wry and sometimes hollow.

Still, his final determination to have a meal sans added flavorings can’t be missed.

If you plan on shopping for food at a grocery store

this year, you’re going to want to read this book. For foodies, snackers, noshers, or between-meal nibblers, “The Dorito Effect” might be a better treat.

Look for the reviewed book at a bookstore or a library near you. You may also find the book at online book retailers.

The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terri has been reading since she was 3 years old and never goes anywhere without a book. She lives in Wisconsin with three dogs and 10,000 books. ❖

Every year farm women can resolve to stay on top of the house cleaning by doing a little bit every day, but it lasts until her husband needs her help outside. Often, by the time she comes back in she’s an accomplice to the dirty crime that is already well underway.

But having a spotless house isn’t necessarily at the top of her list either, because by helping on the farm, she’s contributing not only to the family busi-

THE LAND, JANUARY 15, 2016

I’ve often said the difference between my older sister and me is that you could eat off of her floor and not even think twice about it; but you could eat off of my floor and get full.

For all these years I could have blamed it on the fact that I had more children to clean up after than she did, or I TABLE TALK could blame it on the farm.

By Karen Schwaller My sister — an immaculate urban housekeeper — used to secretly leave me notes in the dusty furniture and wait to see how long it took me to find them. For her it wasn’t a matter of whether or not she would find the dust; it was simply of matter of where to write the note.

My housekeeping skills were targeted one day when our (then) elementary-school-aged daughter asked me what that yellow can was in the cupboard, as she pointed to the furniture polish. Apparently she had never seen me use it. Oh, how ashamed my mother would be.

I made up for my lack of dusting skills by using my time to hang our laundry out in that greatsmelling country air. That is, when it wasn’t manure hauling day.

Yeesh. I think my nose hairs have all grown back in over the years.

Now we live in a different home and live on the north side of a gravel road. That means when people drive past the place, the prevailing southwest winds blow the road dirt right into the yard. If conditions mimic the Sahara and a Siberian-like wind is blowing, it looks like the Dust Bowl days here at home.

Amana’s Living History Farms has nothing on us.

For us, corn chopping and fall harvest mark the end of open-window season. If we opened the windows during that time we could be buried alive right in our own home.

And as for drying the clothes these days, they don’t see a clothesline any more than my husband sees the dentist. The gas company must love our prevailing winds and dusty gravel roads. At our previous home it was birds with bowel issues that gave me the most angst about hanging clothes out to dry.

Snow day at Mount Kato S

kiers and snowboarders of all ages can be found enjoying a winter day at Mount Kato off Highway 66 in Mankato, Minn.

The family friendly ski hill is a favorite among the local junior high set. Younger kids bomb down the hill and little ones sometimes get a hand with their mittens from mom. Many a parent can be seen skiing with a new skier as they guide them down the bunny hill.

Beginners from young to old can attend ski school to get started. It’s fun and safe!

The more daring skiers and boarders hit the runs with moguls and jumps. A terrain park has been created for boarders to do tricks.

If the snow is scarce from Mother Nature, Mount Kato makes their own. You really can ski great snow at Mount Kato.

Mount Kato is open for skiing and snowboarding daily. Snow tubing is available on the weekends. Visit www.mountkato.com for the snow report, hours and more. ❖

Mount Kato, Mankato, Minn.

Keynote Speaker David Okerlund on Building Attitude Survival Kits: Making the Best of a Challenge Wednesday, Jan. 27, 1-2 p.m., Banquet Hall David Okerlund grew up in a rural, Midwestern town of Manchester, Iowa where as a young teenager he saved up money to go on to college by working on the town’s garbage route. To this day he still says that, “It was the best job I have ever had in my entire career. It taught me more about the value of commitment and endurance than one might ever dare to believe.”

From there he went on to Hastings College in Nebraska where he became David Okerlund a nationally ranked speech and forensic speaker. After graduation he became a teacher in Iowa where in his first year he was nominated as the Outstanding Young Speech Educator for the state. After leaving teaching, David became what he calls a “road toad warrior.” He defines that as a salesperson who can drive over 100,000 miles a year and still love selling. Shortly after that he became fund development director for a large hospital. And then an administrator for a 350-bed trauma center hospital.

In 1983 David’s speaking abilities gained national attention when he finished in the final three of the World Championship of Public Speaking; a contest that includes over 20,000 contestants from over 45 different countries. In 1984 David was an instructor at Oxford University where he taught speech and debate. In 1987, David decided to pursue a speaking career on a full-time basis.

Today he has a reputation as one of the finest speakers in the United States. He is a member of the International Hall of Fame for speakers and has shared the platform with American greats like Bob Hope, Lee Iacocca, Robert Schuller, and others. He taught a masters degree class in organizational ethics and persuasion at the University of Minnesota.
