OPINION

Letter: Cover helps clean our water To the Editor: We appreciate Gov. Dayton’s courage and persistence in calling out runoff from farm fields as a leading contributor to our state’s polluted waters. It is right for him to call on farmers to come up with solutions that will work for farmers. The Governor’s Water Summit held Feb. 27 was about bringing Minnesotans together to develop solutions to this problem. As farmers we have some ideas. First, we must all acknowledge that clean water is necessary for life itself. It’s our obligation to work for clean water and government has a critical and appropriate role in ensuring our water is not polluted. A large cause of farm runoff is the result of so much of farmland being without cover most of the year. Corn and soybeans are planted on 75 percent of Minnesota farmland and are green for only 110 days of the year. This creates a long brown season, in which there are no living plants protecting the land’s surface, and no living roots feed-

ing the soil’s biological life below. That leaves the land vulnerable to soil erosion and runoff for most of the year. We can change this by getting more living cover on our farms. By using more cover crops and perennial crops in our farming systems we can have living cover on the land for most of the year. On a farm that has abundant green living cover on the land year round, water is stored in the soil and filtered through plant roots and living soil. More water stays on the farm and water that leaves the farm leaves clean. Perennial crops include pasture for livestock. The market for grass-based meat and milk is strong and growing. Incorporating cover crops like winter rye, hairy vetch and tillage radish into row crops can increase profits by decreasing fertilizer inputs and sometimes increasing yields. And at the University of Minnesota the research through Forever Green is developing new cover and perennial crops and markets for these

crops. We know changing farming practices is hard and that federal farm policy often works against farmers using these practices. Current uses of cover crops is below 2 percent. We can do better. That’s why we encourage Gov. Dayton to set an ambitious goal of 20 percent living cover on farmland by 2020. Gov. Dayton can direct the many state agencies working on water quality to develop a plan to achieve this 20 percent living cover goal. These agencies (including the Department of Natural Resources, Department of Agriculture, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Board of Soil and Water Resources, Department of Health) can put resources into getting this done, giving farmers the tools and incentives to be stewards. This is no small task, but if we don’t do this we cannot clean our water. Ryan Batalden Lamberton, Minn. Loretta Jaus Gibbon, Minn.

Free trade pacts do not benefit U.S. farmers, ranchers almost every one since the early 1990s. It’s been a huge benefit to Big Biz and Big Agbiz but far less so for farmers and ranchers. See GUEBERT, pg. 4

That’s like buying a bull because it’s a bull; not because of its breed, pedigree or price. TPP is like many recent trade deals — it’s mostly about reducing agricultural tariffs in targeted American markets like Japan and Vietnam. “Tariff reductions are a core element of the TPP,” declares the Office of U.S. Trade Representative. But tariff reductions will have little to no benefit for U.S. farmers and ranchers if TPP nations counter cheaper imports with higher subsidies to domestic producers, as Japan recently announced. “In a set of measures to cut the impact of trade liberalization under the planned Trans-Pacific Partnership accord,” reported The Japan Times on Nov. 15, “the ruling Liberal Democratic Party has included stronger support for loss-making beef and pork farmers.” The support level “will be expanded to cover 90 percent of the losses incurred…”

Center releases 2015 Rural Minnesota Report By PAUL MALCHOW The Land Managing Editor ST. PETER, Minn. — Minnesota’s Center for Rural Policy and Development recently released its annual State of Minnesota Report. Each year, the Center assembles the latest demographic and economic data on subjects relating to population, household income and farm earnings. Since the 1990 census, the state’s population grew by about 1 million people, to a population of 5.5 million at the end of 2014. Not surprisingly, much of the growth occurred in the Twin Cities suburbs. Scott, Carver and Wright Counties more than doubled in population over that time. The central lakes region of Minnesota including Crow Wing, Cass, Hubbard and Beltrami counties also saw increases of 30 percent or more. On the other end of the spectrum, one-third of Minnesota’s counties lost

population over the same period of time. The hardest-hit counties line the southern and western borders of the state. Most counties in southwestern Minnesota saw a drop in population. The study shows these population changes are a continuing trend which dates back to 1960. Conversely, since 1960, the counties in a corridor from St. Cloud to Rochester have seen a cumulative population growth of 609 percent. In 2014, Beltrami, Benton, Blue Earth, Clay, Lyon, Nicollet, Ramsey, Scott, Sherburne, Stearns and Winona counties had the lowest median age in the state — under 36 years of age. It should be noted many of these counties are home to colleges and universities which could affect these figures. The core urban counties in the state are expected to see a significant growth in senior (age 65-plus) population over the next 30 years. The 12 counties surrounding the St. Cloud-St.

Paul corridor are projected to see a 90 percent increase in senior population by 2045. Other counties in that group are Clay, Douglas, Nicollet and Olmsted counties. The study also states Minnesota’s estimated median household income in 2014 was $61,473. The 23 counties in the St. Cloud-to-Rochester corridor reported a median income of between $75,122 and $91,688. Scott County had the highest at $91,688 while Mahnomen County recorded the lowest at $39,926. As a region, Minnesota’s north-central counties reported the lowest median income figures. If you were to draw a diagonal line northwest to southeast across the Minnesota map, you would roughly have the dividing line for average farm earnings in 2014. Counties on the left

have markedly higher earnings than counties on the right. Average earnings per farm worker in southern and southwestern counties typically fall in the $65,000 to $157,000 range compared to under $14,000 for counties in the north-northeast. That same diagonal line delineates the farm workforce in Minnesota. The study states about 2.2 percent of Minnesota’s workforce is employed directly in farming. However, that percentage jumps to 10 to 22 percent in northwestern, western and southern Minnesota. Marshall County had the highest percentage of workforce working directly in farming at 22.4 percent.

Expect tiny impact from TPP GUEBERT, from pg. 3 The handiest example is Mexico: it made enormous tariff concessions to the United States under the North American Free Trade Agreement. Since the deal was fully implemented in 1997 however, Mexico has sold the U.S. $9.6 billion more farm and food goods than U.S. farmers and ranchers sold Mexico. Even with all the happy talk about lower tariffs, TPP’s overall projected economic impact is so tiny it makes one wonder what all the fuss is about. And that’s only if the estimates are accurate — a remote possibility at best. According to the Peterson Institute for International Economics, (often cited as the gold standard of economic forecasters) TPP will “increase real (U.S.) incomes by $131 billion (or 0.5 percent of GDP), and annual exports by $357 billion (or 9.1 percent of over baseline projections) by 2030.” Both numbers, if even close to being accurate, are very modest indeed. Worse, the Peterson Institute quickly adds there’s no promise either forecast might include a growing American ag sector. It notes, rather glumly, TPP’s “agricultural provisions fall short of delivering ‘free trade’ on some sensitive commodities…” In truth, calculates Dean Baker, economist and co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, the tiny TPP projected income growth of

0.5 percent over the next 14 years is akin to saying “the country will be as rich on January 1, 2030, as it would otherwise be on April 1, 2030.” Whoever said economists have no sense of humor? Neither number however, takes into account TPP’s potential cost to American food safety, suggests Steve Suppan, a senior policy analyst at the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy. “Only five of TPP’s 29 or so chapters actually deal with trade issues,” he relates in a Feb. 18 telephone conversation. “The others deal largely with dismantling regulatory systems in the U.S. and elsewhere to facilitate wider trade.” Little wonder Big Agbiz and its farm group allies fought to kill country of origin labeling. It doesn’t “facilitate wider trade.” Under the most optimistic TPP analysis, say economist Dean Baker, wider trade will deliver benefits equal to what Americans will spend “on St. Patrick’s Days, over-the-counter teeth whiteners, and tattoos” between now and 2030. No word on how many bulls that might buy. The Farm and Food File is published weekly through the United States and Canada.

Catlett offered many examples. Organic food wasn’t measured 20 years ago and now organic represents 4 percent of the food sector. And 10 years ago, we didn’t measure gluten intolerance and today gluten-free products are the fastest growing sector in food. Take craft breweries — none in 1970 and 4,000 today. “We have the most critical shortage of hops ever,” said Catlett, who prefers Coors Light over a microbrew. “You wanna make a fortune. Grow hops. It’s a weed.” Then there’s the baby boomer generation. According to Catlett, estimates show the net worth of 121 million American households is $87 trillion. Of that $87 trillion, 40 percent is real things — such as buildings, land and equipment — and two thirds of that net worth is held by baby boomers. “Get ready. You’re going to see in the next decade the largest intergenerational transfer of wealth that’s ever occurred,” said Catlett. While millennials get a bad rap for cell phone usage, Catlett said technology is second nature to them, which has the power to change the world. For instance, Catlett said millennials don’t know the word taxi cab, because they use Uber via cell phones to get rides. This is called smart locational services and it connects people with needs and wants with people that can provide the products and services. Nobody’s better at it than millennials.

By MARIE WOOD The Land Associate Editor NORTH MANKATO, Minn. — In 2014, the world economic output was the largest ever at $72 trillion and you may have not heard this news — carbon emissions were down slightly, according to the New York Magazine. Mother Nature sequesters carbon in oceans, trees and plants, and soils. Intensely managed corn and soybean crops, using prescription agriculture and minimum inputs, are proven to sequester eight times more carbon than Mother Nature. “Gee, I think agriculture is probably part of that, don’t you?” asked Lowell Catlett to an auditorium of ag students and farmers attending the Ag Symposium at South Central College on Feb. 9 in North Mankato, Minn. Catlett, known as a futurist, is dean of the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences at New Mexico State University. Using humor and statistics, he celebrated agriculture and brought a positive message to students. “It’s a fabulous time be alive. And it’s a fabulous time to be in agriculture,” said Catlett. Catlett admits he’s “weird as hell,” but he related well to his audience of all ages. Dylan Harbitz, a first year ag business production major at SCC, will eventually take over his dad’s farm outside of St. James. Catlett was his favorite speaker of the day. “I really liked his personality. He was a funny older guy,” said Harbitz. “It gave me some more optimism about ag.” Harbitz was paying attention to the growing world population which will rely in part on U.S. agriculture. Catlett noted the world population doubled to 7.2 billion people since 1970. Thanks to agriculture, people are fed at 2,900 daily calories for every man, women and child. “Agriculture is going to be highly depended on in the future. I look very forward to it,” said Harbitz. World wealth is one reason the future is bright for agriculture. “Beef consumption has doubled in India in the last decade. Enough Indians got enough money, they go ‘Hell, we’re eating a cow,’” said Catlett. In addition, agriculture now has the most differentiated market segments on the planet.

Russell: ‘You don’t have to be big to be profitable’ AG SYMPOSIUM, from pg. 5 “We’re very technology dependent. We need to use technology and cell phones to complement our career,” said Harbitz. So you’ve got corn in the bins, what about a smart Uber system to sell your grain to a dairy in the Southwest, Catlett asked. “What’s going to make more money? A smart overlay system or the old way,” said Catlett. “Build those systems because people will come.” Diversification Emily Spear, who majors in agribusiness service and management at SCC, is 19 years old and grew up on a small hobby farm in Good Thunder. Her family had Black Angus cattle. She learned a lot at the Ag Symposium. Based on statistics that caught her eye, Spear would like to have a diversified operation with crops and beef cattle.

“It’s looking like a good future for us,” said Spear. In agreement with Spear is Moe Russell, cofounder and president of Russell Consulting Group, which provides marketing and financial advice to crop and livestock producers. He was one of the speakers at the event. “There’s more money to be made farming than any other industry,” he said. Russell recommends diversification such as livestock, alternate crops, organic crops, non-genetically modified organisms and natural meat. He noted that the $34 billion organic industry is growing at double digit rates. “You don’t have to be big to be profitable,” said Russell. Trends are in place which will help make agriculture profitable again. Russell cited older farmers transitioning out, cheaper used equipment, livestock potential, slower growth in

Russell explained agriculture is cyclical and he said he believes we are in the third year of a three-year cycle. He predicts $5 corn in the next 10 years and that today’s prices will discourage corn acres. Meanwhile, his advice is to differentiate your farm in animal comfort, water quality, nutrient management and soil quality. “I’ll guarantee you, you’ll get opportunities five years from now that you’ve never dreamed of,” said Russell.

In the fall, Zippel will head to the University of Minnesota-Crookston to complete her degree. Growing up in Rosemount, Zippel showed and leased animals in 4-H. Zippel was honored to introduce speaker Laura Daniels, an ag advocate and dairy farmer from Heartwood Farm in Wisconsin. Daniels spreads pro-ag messages on social media each day. Zippel witnessed how well Daniels connects with the public. And Russell explained just how important the farmer-consumer connection is to an operation’s bottom line. This is a lesson that Zippel’s generation has received loud and clear. The students also got a history lesson from Russell. He asked the audience to raise their hands if they farmed in 1982-83. Many hands went up and Russell congratulated them. “You farmed in the toughest time in the last 100 years and survived it,” said Russell. ❖

Century farm applications due ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota families who have owned their farms for 100 years or more may apply for the 2016 Century Farms Program. Produced by the Minnesota State Fair in conjunction with the Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation, the Century Farms Program was created to promote agriculture and honor historic family farms in the state. More than 10,000 Minnesota farms have been honored since the program began in 1976. Family farms are recognized if the farm is at least 50 acres and at least 100 years old according to authentic land records. The farm must be in continuous family ownership for at least 100 years (continuous residence on the farm is not required). The submission deadline is April 1. Recipients will be announced in May. Previously recognized families should not reapply. A commemorative certificate will be awarded to qualifying families, along with an outdoor sign signifying Century Farm status.

Iowa ‘grape guy’ notes tourism trend in wineries levels,” he said. “There are only about five companies that pretty well control the alcohol industry in this world. They don’t like to see these small local wineries, or brewers or even these new distilleries sprouting up all over. That’s directly taking their market share. So when you do try to influence legislation for your particular niche, the big players will be there — California Wine Council, National Distributors, Distillers Association, and such. They don’t want the native industry to grow.” The good news, explained White, is that the big alcohol lobbying companies can’t get a foothold in Iowa because they don’t have a major city like Minneapolis and Chicago. So why such significant growth of the wine industry, and now the microbrewing industry in Iowa? “In Iowa all politics are local,” he said. “So our state senators and representatives stay local; they make laws local. Because we have local politics we get some pretty favorable legislation to help us grow.” Leader White did several years in ag retail marketing seed corn and chemicals,

then joined the ISU Extension agronomy department before getting hooked on helping to develop the Iowa grape and wine industry. White started working with grapes in 2000. In 2002, ISU decided they needed a viticulturist because of the high interest in growing grapes. “So I got to be the central Iowa agronomist and the state viticulture specialist but with no increase in pay. By 2007 they could see the need for a full time viticulturist and here I am,” he said. He enjoys the passion and willingness to seek and share information grape and wine people bring to their work. “It’s such a welcoming group of people. I don’t see this in corn and soybean growers. The wine business exists and grows because of discretionary spending,” he said. “They’re willing to stick around, talk and be friends. That’s what’s neat about this industry.” Mike White was interviewed at the Minnesota Grape Growers Association Cold Climate Conference on Feb. 12 in Minneapolis. ❖

tion,” explained White. It’s a three-year process for vineyards to become productive. Blue ribbon He gives Iowa vineyard operators a blue ribbon. They are producing quality grapes which is the start of quality wine. But it didn’t come quickly. For instance, he said in 2005, many people got into winemaking as a hobby. Not so today. “We’re producing fantastic wines just like Minnesota is doing,” White said. “We’re winning international competitions. We go to California and win competitions now.” White said Iowa and Minnesota wines are competitive with any wines in the marketplace regardless of origin. So whose wine is better — Iowa or Minnesota? White gave a tip of the hat to the more experienced winemakers in Gopher country saying that the quality of Minnesota wines is better than Iowa wines. “Because your wine people have worked with your cold hardy university-developed varieties, they’ve simply had more time learning how to make excellent wines,” he said. “A Minnesota Marquette or a Minnesota LaCrescent — you can take them anywhere in the world and win in competition!” In the national wine industry, 75-80 percent of sales is sweet wines, said White. “Surprising to many, the number one wine grape in the Midwest is Concord. It’s become a popular blending wine,” said White. Politics With the craft beer industry growing as rapidly as the wine industry, there seems to be room for both in Iowa. White related that the mirobrewery business is growing dramatically to the tune of 73 microbreweries in his state. But Iowa law does not permit a brewery and winery to operate together under the same roof, he explained. “However, our resourceful legislator is now writing up a law that says if a winery wants to also include a brewery, they can do that,” he said. Is that politically wise? “One thing you learn fairly quickly in this business is that the wine industry and the alcohol business are all politics both at national and state

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer When it comes to the Iowa wine and grape industry, Mike White is credited with putting Iowa on the map. He is the viticulture field spe- Mike White cialist at Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. But with trademark modesty, he says, “They mostly call me the grape guy.” White credits the winter hardy breeding program of the University of Minnesota as being the prime catalyst for Iowa vineyards and wineries. “The cold climate viticulture developed up here by our U of M friends has grown this upper Midwest industry tremendously. It’s growing faster up here than the French wine business in California in the 1970s and ’80s,” said White. “Canada is now onboard. Eastern Europe is getting into grapes and wines big time. And several of our northern states are now onboard.” In Iowa, the industry is maturing. “We ramped up to about 100 wineries five years ago and it’s flattened out today,” noted White. But existing wineries have a bigger footprint. They’re expanding by offering events, music, wedding receptions, meetings, gift shops, distilleries and bed and breakfasts. Wineries are becoming a destination for locals and travelers. The beverage industry relies on discretionary income and consumers are willing to spend it on wine. Iowans are having fun at their local wineries and that’s why this menu of entertainment plus food and drink is becoming the signature of more wineries, said White. While the number of Iowa grape producers have declined, most remaining ones are getting bigger. “Acres are slightly higher,” he said. “That’s simply economy of scale working.” In-state promotion through favorable legislation has been a driver. “We didn’t have a cost-share program to help jump start the industry,” he said, “but we did have very open laws for native wineries so it was very easy to start a winery in Iowa. And once that started happening the vineyard fever started catching on fast simply because now there were buyers for the product just as soon as your vineyard started coming into produc-

Minn. grape growers raising market awareness By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer MINNEAPOLIS — Though not a headline maker in the Minnesota ag economy, Minnesota’s grape and winery business now includes over 1,500 acres of vineyards and 70 licensed wineries. In an ancient industry, Minnesota is making inroads. Irv Geary, president of Minnesota Grape Growers Association, grows grapes in his North Branch vineyard and is a winemaker for Wild Mountain Winery in Taylor Falls. At the Cold Climate Conference 2016, Feb. 11-13, MGGA celebrated its 40th year. “It’s become a big industry in our state.

advertising and promotion program in concert with Minnesota Farm Winery Association that will raise awareness of Minnesota-produced wines to all Minnesotans and beyond. He told of a two-pronged program with emphasis on education and a vintner’s quality assurance program. In essence, a wine quality vetting program. “Wineries can submit their wines for a quality assurance testing which includes special labeling on each bottle of Minnesota wine that meets the standards. This has worked very well in other states plus Canada,” said Geary. Growing industry Licensed wineries with public wine tasting now number 45; but that number expands yearly. MGGA membership now totals 550 including members from adjoining states plus some Canadian grape and wine aficionados. “We have a lot of growers starting with their half acre and 1 acre vineyards. That has always been the pattern. But significant today is that we are seeing the launching of 40-acre vineyards. And very likely wine tasting and food tasting as part of that business complex once it’s operational,” said Geary. That’s exactly what the industry needs to get established as a major player in the Midwest economy and this is what’s needed to fill the supply gap for locally-grown grapes to our wineries he indicated. “When one winery opens they need 20 acres of grapes. Vineyards of that size are economically feasible and as vineyard size increases I think quality of production tends to increase also. This makes the entire industry more

sustainable,” he said. Nursery stock is available, both in Minnesota and some East Coast nurseries. Winterhaven Vineyard and Nursery in Janesville is one source. With 14 white and red wine varieties and two table grape varieties from Winterhaven, grape growers have a substantial number of choices. Choices are dependent on soil type, topography and location of the vineyard. Cold hardy Marquette and Frontenac are two popular grape varieties from the University of Minnesota. Geary suggested new growers may have gotten too bullish on Marquette when it was first released. “It was advertised as being fully winter hardy in Zones 4A and better; but people were planting it in Zones 3B and 3A expecting it to survive. That is why the heavy winter kill in 2013-14,” said Geary. “Also Marquette is not a Frontenac. Frontenac is a work horse. Get it into the ground and it’s off to the races. Marquette needs some coddling and encouragement those first two to three years. But you can’t plant it in 3A and expect it to perform like it does in 4B.” His prospect for the 2016 season? “We had ideal fall conditions with plenty of rain to get moisture into the vines. The winter has been relatively mild. The only concern is lack of snow in some areas but not an issue with mature vines. For the most part we’ve had a great fall and winter season,” said Geary. “Our vineyards should have a great spring.” For more information on the wine industry or growing grapes in Minnesota, visit www.mngrapes.org or mnhardy.umn.edu/varieties/fruit/ grapes. ❖

Pesticide drift is rising concern for local vineyards she said. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture has a program called Driftwatch. “It’s good to register your vineyard with that program. And talk with your neighboring farmers about when they might be spraying their fields that are in the vicinity of your vineyard,” Wixon said. Driftwatch is an online mapping registry to promote communications between producers and pesticide applicators in support of ongoing stewardship activities. After a drift complaint is filed with MDA, an investigator will contact the producer to obtain vegetation, soil, water, pollinator or other material samples from the property for lab analysis. This also includes application records,

maps, photos, weather records, statements and labels of products used. Do not wait to file a complaint. To learn more, visit https://mn.driftwatch.org or www.fieldwatch.com. Because of last season’s somewhat dry and extended fall harvest, residuals of ag chemicals could be more of a problem on dryer soils. The best procedure for a vine grower is to pull some soil samples for testing to determine not only soil nutrient content, but what residual issues might be present from chemicals applied last season. South Dakota Agricultural Laboratories charges $150 for pesticide residue testing. Soil testing for nutrient values is $20 to $30 per sample, depending upon the nutrients being measured. For pesticides residue sampling probes

Wixon: Growers should pull samples immediately DRIFT, from pg. 11 of 3 to 6 inches deep and several probes within the hot area of a suspected location are suggested. But with a drift problem, soil samples of zero to 3 inches deep are sufficient. If you suspect pesticide drift, how soon should you pull that sample? Immediately would be the correct answer; but a more logical answer is as soon as possible, said Wixon. Cut a few leaf samples into a freezer bag and send for overnight delivery to her South Dakota lab. For other issues, work through your local extension contact or a local agronomist. Turn-around time is a common com-

plaint when sending samples to ag testing laboratories. South Dakota Agricultural Laboratories, however, has an average turnaround time of seven days. “We make a special effort to minimize this time because it usually is of urgent importance to the farmer or the grape grower. Many labs doing pesticide work take upwards of six months to get information back to the sender,” Wixon said. “We have it down to a science. We’ve adopted elite manufacturing practices which permit getting results out quickly and accurately.” Call (605) 292-7325 for mailing kits or email: regina.wixon@sdaglabs.com or visit www.sdaglabs.com. ❖

Haug launches piloted aircraft for precision ag By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer WILLMAR, Minn. — The Federal Aviation Administration now permits companies to fly drones commercially so agriculture drones can gather data. Just as drones are taking off, the Willmar and Litchfield area John Deere dealer Sam Romain launched Aerial Imagery Services. But Haug Implement is bucking the trend by using a piloted aircraft to do aerial photography for its precision farming customers. “It’s a matter of efficiency,” said Sam Romain, Haug’s integrated solutions consultant. He explained Haug Implement began its foray into aerial imagery services two years ago with batterypowered unmanned aerial vehicles. In 2015, Haug switched to a pilot and Cessna 182 aircraft. “With a manned aircraft and better camera, we’re getting 10-inch resolution. That is getting rather precise,” he said. “Using a drone, you drive to each field, unload the equipment, set it up, then fly the field, hope you don’t crash, hope your battery power lasts, then bring the drone back to your base, reload the equipment back into your vehicle, then drive to the next field,” he said. “With this process you can only do a limited number of acres each day. “We have a Microsoft surface tablet set up as a computer screen that we give to the pilot. This screen tells him where to fly, what flight line to fly,

and each particular field over which to gather the imagery. We input all the fields into the tablet remotely. The pilot downloads that flight plan and the computer tells him where to go. With our current camera, fields are flown at 1,000 feet to 3,000 feet elevation depending upon the mission.” Jim Larson, a senior member of the Haug precision farming team, thinks this entry into aerial imagery with a manned aircraft is exactly the right technology at the right time. “I’ve noticed in recent years, farmers, both big and small, want to be more precise in everything they do on every piece of ground they have,” said Larson. “When the dealership started with precision farming technology back in 1995 we made a commitment to growers that we would teach them how to use it. Because of that commitment, a long-term relationship developed with growers.” Larson also does some farming and noted that he has 15 years of yield data sitting on a database. “If I choose to use aerial photos and NVDI maps I may need a little help integrating this new product into my current database,” he said. “Now we’ve got guys like Sam who can assist in that process.” Data analysis Haug’s image processing server is AgPixel, which offers a 24/7 data-viewing portal available with a login, explained Romain. A new server has the capability to process up to 1 million acres per day. “AgPixel is a great information server for this entire precision farming arena. Previously we haven’t been able to measure the performance of the crop during the growing season other than by driveby or manual scouting,” Romain said. “Now, through this mapping service, we can see precisely problem areas on every square foot of our fields. This gives growers the ability to measure the crop during the growing season and apply whatever remedial applications might be needed to correct a deficiency.” The number of acres per hour which can be covered with the aircraft depends on how close the fields are and how high you are flying. On a good day they could do 15,000 acres or more. It’s important to get multiple images of fields, even down to the same spot per field, explained Romain. “How many pictures depends upon how big the

field and how low your flight paths. If you’re lower to the ground, you have more pictures,” he said. The imagery can help farmers identify and pinpoint crop issues. The “bread and butter” of the imagery is normalized difference vegetation index, explained Romain. “NDVI is really good at telling you where the plant has stress. It’s not going to say, ‘that’s a disease’, ‘that’s a bug’, ‘that’s nitrogen deficiency’ but it will tell you where you have problems, even down to the square foot within your field,” said Romain. “So it’s up to the grower or his crop consultant to then go into that field and visually determine what actually is the problem at each of these problem locations. “When you or your crop consultant gets into that particular field we provide a map which details precisely where to go to identify the issue.” Since correction time can be vital, the time it takes for the information to get in the hands of the farmer or crop consultant is vital as well. “It could be the same day,” said Romain. “We have a seven day acquisition window because of particular weather disturbances that could impact our flying response time. Last summer, Canada caught on fire. All that smoke drifted down to us and we couldn’t fly. But ideally we can get the necessary information back to the grower the same day we fly his fields. From the time we fly a grower’s field to the time we have that information on a web portal so the grower can log it on to his own computer, our goal is 48 hours or less.” Plant populations can also be counted, but Romain said that will mean flying lower and using a more precise camera and extra processing. The aerial images can detect nutrient deficiencies that can be remedied with foliar applications. “The image will guide you to where you need to go look in your field,” said Romain. “Essentially if you see green you are looking at healthy plants. If you see red you are seeing issues. Then it’s a matter of what particular corrective action needs to be taken. This is why a professional crop consultant is often needed for definitive answers.” For more information, visit www.haugimp.com. Romain can be reached at samromain@haugimp.com or (800) 428-4467. ❖

Grain Angles Letter to landlords Farmland rental rates are in flux. Many clients I work with are negotiating rental rates for coming years which are lower than where they’ve been in the past few years. How do you build a rapport and work together to cultivate a mutually beneficial relationship with your landlord?

As the month of February comes to a close, the livestock markets have either rallied slightly or stabilized in a trading range. The volatility which has been present for the past several months has also relaxed to some degree. However, the return to more volatility in price movement in the weeks ahead seems very likely as the disparity in livestock prices continues.

It is unlikely this pattern will change drastically in the weeks ahead until more cattle are available for slaughter or the disparity in price between the competitive meats substantially improves. On Feb. 19, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released the Monthly Cattle on Feed Report. The results were almost equal to the estimates and were seen as neutral and should have little or no effect on the overall price action in the weeks ahead.

Positioning ahead of the U.S. Department of Agriculture February Outlook Forum on Feb. 25 and 26, a lack of bullish news, weak demand and a higher U.S. dollar pressured Chicago Board of Trade prices into the USDA Outlook Forum. Michael Cordonnier raised his South American corn PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. production estimates, taking St. Paul Argentina up 1.4 million metric tons to 25.0 mmt and adding .8 mmt to Brazil’s estimate to 84.0 mmt. Weekly export sales were neutral at 36.8 million bushels. Sales will need to average 24 million bushels per week to achieve the USDA’s forecast for 1.65 billion bushels of exports. Total export commitments are down 24 percent from last year when the USDA is projecting a 12 percent year-on-year decline in exports. The sale of another 210 thousand metric tons of corn to Columbia will be included in next week’s numbers. U.S. corn is competitive with South American origins through May. China’s January grain imports fell for the fourth consecutive month with less than 2 mmt and the lowest since November 2014. China’s January corn imports were just 8 tmt, the lowest since September 2013. U.S. ethanol production last week was up 19,000 barrels per day at

Nystrom: Watch for seasonal strength to sell NYSTROM, from pg. 15 994,000 bpd. Ethanol stocks were down modestly at 23.1 million barrels, the first decline in four weeks. At the USDA’s February Outlook Forum, corn acreage for 2016-17 was forecasted at 90 million acres, slightly above the trade estimate for 89.6 million acres. Last year, U.S. farmers planted 88 million acres to corn. In the last seven years, the Outlook Forum’s planted acreage number has deviated from the March 31 intentions number by more than 1 million acres just one time. On the Forum’s balance sheet for 2016-17, they used a yield of 168.0 bushels per acre for production of 13.825 billion bushels. This would be the third-highest production ever if proven correct. Carryout is projected at 1.977 billion bushels with a stocksto-use ratio of 14.4 percent, the highest ratio since 2005-06. If correct, this would be the largest ending stocks since 2004-05. The 2015-16 carryout is estimated at 1.827 billion bushels with a stocks to use ratio of 13.6 percent. The Forum’s on-farm average price for 2016-17 is $3.45 per bushel compared to this year’s mid-point estimate of $3.60 per bushels. This February Forum estimate is not survey-based We have to wait for March 31 to see those numbers. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange announced this week they will immediately publish vomitoxin levels on wheat shipping certificates for wheat delivered against the CBOT futures contract. New CME trading hours for live cattle, feeder cattle and lean hog electronic futures and options went into effect Feb. 29. New hours are

8:30 a.m. to 1:05 p.m. central time, Monday through Friday. Open outcry options trading hours will be from 8:30 a.m. to 1:02 p.m. central time, Monday through Friday. OUTLOOK: For the week, May corn tumbled 9.75 cents to $3.59.5 per bushel, July fell 9.5 cents to $3.64.25, and December was 8.25 cents lower at $3.78.25 per bushels. This contract low in May corn is $3.54.25 and is likely to be tested or taken out relatively soon. On the continuation chart, the 2014 harvest low of $3.18.25 is the next support. First resistance in the May contract is $3.73.5 per bushel. On the weekly May chart, a key reversal lower was posted this week which puts a bearish spin on the market. Mother Nature and/or the March 31 Prospective Planting and Grain Stocks reports may be the next hope for a decent rally. Without some help from a weather issue somewhere, we’re looking at increasing year-on-year stocks. Watch for any seasonal strength if you need to make sales. SOYBEANS — The rally in soybeans to begin the week was erased as the week progressed. Weather in South America may slightly hinder harvest; but in general, no significant problem has developed. Brazil’s soybean harvest was estimated at 35 percent complete vs. 21 percent on average as of Feb. 26 by Safras. Monday’s uptick was inspired by outside markets and short covering by funds. There was no follow-through on Tuesday and technical selling emerged. Export basis also collapsed this week. Brazil’s Abiove cut their soybean production estimate by 1 mmt to 98.5

On the other hand, AgRural in Brazil raised their estimate from 99.2 mmt to 101.6 mmt. China imported 5.7 mmt of soybeans during January with 4.6 mmt from the U.S., 621 tmt from Brazil and 188 tmt from Argentina. The USDA’s Forum outlook for soybean acres this year was 82.5 million acres vs. estimates for 83.3 million acres. Last year, we planted 82.65 million acres to soybeans. In the previous five years, the final soybean acreage number has been 3 to 4 million acres higher than the February Outlook estimate. Using a yield of 46.7 bu./acre the USDA is pegging 2016-17 production at 3.81 billion bushels. Their new 2016-17 balance sheet also shows the carryout at 440 million bushels vs. this year’s 450 million bushel ending stocks. The 2016-17 stocks-to-use ratio is projected at 11.4 percent compared to the 2015-16 stocks-to-use ratio of 12.2 percent. The average farm price for 2016-17 was forecast at $8.50 per bushel, down from this year’s midpoint estimate of $8.80 per bushel.

Weekly soybean export sales were a disappointment this week at 12.1 million bushels, the second lowest of the current marketing year. Sales need to average 6.6 million bushels per week for the balance of the marketing year to hit the USDA outlook for 1.69 billion bushels. Last year we only averaged 4.8 million bushels per week from this time through the end of the year. We continue to run 11 percent behind last year on total export commitments when the USDA is projecting an 8.3 percent decline year-onyear. OUTLOOK: May soybeans plummeted 17.25 cents for the week to settle at $8.63.5 per bushel, July dropped 15.25 cents to $8.70 and November declined 12.5 cents to $8.76 per bushel. On the continuation chart, nearby soybeans closed at their lowest level since December 2008. First resistance in the May contract is $8.90 per bushel, with support at $8.53.5 per bushel. Record South American bean production, sluggish U.S. export sales and a stronger U.S. dollar should limit any rally potential — unless a weather problem crops up somewhere to inspire buyers. As in corn, watch for any seasonal rally if you need to add to sales. Nystrom’s Notes: Contract changes for the week ending Feb. 26: May Chicago wheat plunged 14.5 cents lower, Kansas City fell 12 cents and Minneapolis wheat dropped 7.75 cents. April crude oil rallied $1.03 to close at $32.78 per barrel, ULSD was 2.5 cents higher, RBOB jumped 8.75 cents higher and natural gas declined 7.5 cents. The U.S. dollar index gained 1.6 percent. ❖

over the past several weeks as demand for pork products and moderate numbers of hogs has inspired the rally. However, as the pork cutouts moved into the mid $70 area, resistance has begun to surface. As a result, the packer has backed away from being as aggressive in acquiring live inventory. This could result in the hog market finding a momentary peak and prices weakening or at best stabilizing for a period of time. Overall, pork remains one of the best

values for protein vs. other sources. This will continue to be an underlying support of the hog market in the near future. Producers are urged to continue to monitor market conditions and protect inventories on an as needed basis. From an overall livestock market outlook, producers are to be aware of the outside markets which can directly affect the livestock price movement. Any negative price action in the financial markets can quickly change the outlook in the livestock markets and other ag-related markets. ❖

Propose changes for rental agreement based on prices However, the savings will not be enough to offset the major cost of renting land. The Federal Reserve Bank in Chicago has recently stated farmland selling prices have dropped by a total of 7.5 percent since the middle of 2013. At the same time, the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank reports cash rents decreasing by approximately 5 percent last year and they expect the trend to continue. Please see the attached chart. I am in the process of reviewing my projected budget and have outlined some proposed changes for our agreement, which I have attached.

WACHTLER, from pg. 15 problems created by unsound investments in their own economies, overspending, monetary policy, and politics. Closer to home, U.S. farmers continue to increase productivity and farm more acres. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports over one-third fewer acres in the Conservation Reserve Program since 2007. Those acres are now used primarily for producing corn, soybeans, and other major commodities. Corn prices have experienced more than a 50 percent drop from their highs of nearly five years ago. While we have faced low crop prices in the past, experts believe this time may be more of a long-term cyclical downturn and have described the commodity outlook as “lower for longer”. As I mentioned, nearly all commodities are going through the down cycle. the Commodity Research Bureau index is down almost 60 percent in the last five-year time frame. Demand for commodities was encouraged by very low interest rates along with quantitative easing by our government and others. The supply responded to the new, increased demand. Now, after the monetary policy has come and gone, we are left with an oversupply of most commodities. Plus there is a faltering demand from other countries which are not able to withstand this rapidly changing environment. The amount of expense allocated to owning and renting land is the largest line item expense in typical corn, soybean and other farming operations. Some expenses, such as fuel and fertilizer have already dropped in price.

5,000 more cows. It was up 4.8 percent in December. South Dakota posted the biggest gain again, up 12.2 percent on 2,000 more cows. Michigan bulk tanks are also bulging — up 5.9 percent, thanks to 10,000 more cows and a 70-pound gain per cow. Idaho was up 0.7 percent on 7,000 more cows although output per cow was off 10 pounds. Minnesota was up 3.4 percent on a 60-pound gain per cow. The report also showed the number of licensed U.S. dairy farms in 2015 stood at 43,584, down 1,225 farms or a drop of 2.7 percent from 2014. Arizona showed an increase — up 10 farms, while the others were down or unchanged. Farm Journal’s Jim Dickrell says, “With an estimated 9.317 million cows on farms, that suggests the average U.S. dairy farm now houses about 215 cows.” He adds Wisconsin dipped below 10,000 farms to 9,900 — a loss of 390 farms; but the number of dairy cows in the Badger State was actually up in January, to 1.28 million head. Dairy cow culling was up from December but below a year ago, according to USDA’s latest Livestock Slaughter report. An estimated 265,500 head were slaughtered under Federal inspection in the month, up 10,100 head from December but 19,900 head fewer than January 2015. ■ There’s plenty of butter in the cooler according to the latest Cold Storage report, which sent a chill to dairy traders.

MIELKE, from pg. 18 last week of February at $1.48 per pound, down three-quarter cents on the week and 6.5 cents below a year ago, as traders anticipated Tuesday’s Global Dairy Trade. The barrels closed at $1.43, down a nickel on the week and 6.25 cents a year ago. On the week, 11 cars of block traded hands and six of barrel. Relatively mild winter weather is keeping the milk flowing to Midwest cheese plants, reports Dairy Market News. “Cheese production is steady. Inventories are building, even with good demand from food service and retail. Western cheese makers are also actively producing cheese but some are finding milk intakes to be a little short of needs to run at full production. Domestic cheese demand is still strong, especially for retail and cheese for pizza. Inventories for cheddar varieties are trending steady to higher on lighter demand and a weak export market.” Speaking of pizza demand, CNN Money reports Domino’s Pizza’s fourth quarter sales were up 10.7 percent from a year ago and Papa John’s overall samestore sales are up 3.4 percent. Where would the dairy industry be without pizza? ■ Tuesday’s Cold Storage report sure cooled butter’s resiliency, dropping it 8.5 cents the following day, and Thursday it fell below $2 per pound for the first time since August 2015. It finished Friday at $1.97.75, down 7.75 cents on the week and the lowest spot price since July 30, 2015. But it is still 28.25 cents above a year ago. Ten cars traded hands on the week. Churning remains active throughout the Central region, says Dairy Market News. “Butter sales into retail is active as many club stores plan butter features ahead of the spring holidays. Bulk sales are steady, but many manufacturers report they are less concerned about bulk inventories building at this time of year. A larger concern is establishing stocks to withstand second, third, and fourth quarter demand. “Western butter makers say there is a good amount of cream available and butter production continues to be active. Domestic sales continue strong in advance of the spring holidays, but some contacts note demand is slightly slower as those orders are filled. Inventories are building, which is typical for this time of year. However, the large increase in January led some to question whether end users were storing butter for future needs or if the market was getting filled,” reports Dairy Market News. ■ Jerry Dryer, editor of the Dairy and Food Market Analyst newsletter, said in Friday’s DairyLine there’s going to be plenty of milk, and while the growth in dairy product stocks was pretty typical, the inventories are record or near record highs for Jan. 31. He adds that they have been high for several months and that is persisting. But, “it’s coming home to roost,” said Dryer, “especially in butter.” Dryer believes falling prices will help kick-start exports; but people are telling him cheese could dip to the $1.30s and butter to $1.65-$1.70.

But after an extended diet, China’s appetite for foreign dairy products may be returning.” “Chinese imports of whole milk powder reached 264.9 million pounds in January, just 10.4 million pounds shy of the record set two years before. That volume is more than six times greater than December WMP imports and up 52 percent from January 2015. China’s skim milk powder imports in January were 116 percent higher than December 2015 and up 43 percent from the prior year. Combined WMP and SMP imports were up 50 percent from January 2015.” ■ Back home, Cooperatives Working Together accepted 12 requests for export assistance this week to sell 1.48 million pounds of cheese, 220,462 pounds of butter (82 percent milkfat) and 352,740 pounds of whole milk powder to customers in Asia, Central America, the Middle East and South America. The product has been contracted for delivery through August and raises CWT’s 2016 cheese exports to 7.49 million pounds, plus 5.4 million pounds of butter and 5.75 million pounds of whole milk powder to 11 countries on five continents.

■ Speaking of the global market, Ireland’s Agriland reports Rabobank’s dairy global strategist says “Europe needs a better way to establish the world market milk price than following New Zealand’s Global Dairy Trade auction. “I think people here in Europe have been known to quote the GDT price and taking it for the world price. It’s just one factor that says something about world demand, but it is not the world price,” Netherlandsbased Kevin Bellamy said. “In 2008 the world’s largest dairy exporter, Fonterra, established the fortnightly GDT auctions with the aim of providing a ‘reliable, transparent, price discovery platform’ for globally-traded dairy commodities. However, it traded less than one-third of its products through the GDT auctions last year, with the balance of dairy products sold direct to customer sales.” “Bellamy rejected suggestions that Fonterra manipulates the GDT. ‘I think that is just how their business works. It is supply and demand, but there are some opaque bits as well.” Lee Mielke is a syndicated columnist who resides in Everson, Wash.

Cyclamen plants have flowers in shades of purple, red, pink or white. The entire plant when in flower reaches about 10 inches high and requires very little care. They are perfectly suited to a cool window sill environment with a northern exposure. In fact, they prefer cold temperatures (a warm room is deadly) and bright, but not direct sunlight. An hour or so of direct sun is OK, but more than that and the risk of having the plant suffer sunburn is increased. Keep the soil moist by immersing in a pan of water for a half hour and then drain. It is best to avoid getting water on the crown of the plant, which could cause it to rot. Use your finger to check the moisture in the growing medium. They like relatively high humidity so setting them in a tray filled with gravel and water is a good idea. Cyclamen bloom for many weeks at a time. Feed with a low nitrogen fertilizer during the growing and blooming winter months and quit feeding and watering when the plant begins its dormancy period.

Cookbook delivers takeout food for new cooks Cookbook Corner

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land correspondent The title of this month’s cookbook selection — “How to Boil Water: Life Beyond Takeout” — took me back to the dinosaur days of my college years when I was stymied by all sorts of cooking situations. Teaching myself how to fry an egg, make a meatloaf or roast a chicken was partly exciting, partly painful, and always a lesson in humility. I didn’t have a nice guide to gastronomy like Food Network Kitchens’ “How to Boil Water” published by Meredith Books in 2006. But I wish I had its thousand photo-filled recipes to help me navigate my kitchen. It probably would have saved me all sorts of burnt stuff, from food to fingers. Here are some sophisticated sample recipes from the more advanced section to whet your appetite. ■ With this single recipe, a budding chef can learn to prepare a wide array of sandwich fillings, adaptable to the ingredients she or he has on hand. The amount of mayo listed makes a nice, light salad; use more if you like yours extra creamy. I tried my luck with leftover turkey meat, spicy dills and green onion. Four out of four “yums” from the Johnson clan, but no leftovers! Next time I’ll have to double the recipe. Chicken or Turkey Salad Sandwiches Serves 4 1/2 rotisserie chicken, 2 cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, or about 12 ounces turkey breast meat Something crunchy: 1 rib celery, 1 small apple, 1/2

■ Just because you’re a new cook doesn’t mean you can’t rock the kitchen with some gourmet eats. These “lacquered” ribs have a sweet, smoky, chewy bark on top of melt-in-your-mouth pork for a restaurant experience in your own home. Chinese Lacquered Baby Back Ribs Serves 4 2 racks baby back ribs (about 2 pounds total) 1 (3-inch) piece fresh ginger 5 cloves garlic 1 cup rice vinegar 1/4 cup soy sauce 1 tablespoon dark sesame oil Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 1 teaspoon five-spice powder (optional) 1/2 cup hoisin sauce 3 to 4 teaspoons Asian chili sauce, such as sriracha or sambal oelek 1 tablespoon water 4 scallions, for garnish 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish (optional) Remove the inside membrane from ribs. Roughly chop the ginger to get about 1/2 cup. Smash, peel and roughly chop the garlic. Whisk the ginger, garlic, vinegar, soy sauce and sesame oil in a nonreactive dish (basically, any dish not made out of aluminum). Add the ribs, turning to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for one hour. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Remove the ribs from the marinade, brush off the ginger and garlic, and discard the marinade.

Freshly ground black pepper 14-ounce can diced tomatoes 1 tablespoon cider vinegar Topping: 1 red or yellow bell pepper 5 scallions 1 cup sour cream 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper Preheat the oven to 350 F. Rinse the beans in a colander. Cut the bacon crosswise into thin strips. Cook in a medium Dutch oven (or a soup pot with a tight-fitting lid that can go in the oven) over medium heat until almost crisp, about 10 minutes. Roughly chop the onion. Smash, peel and chop the garlic. Stir the onion, garlic, cumin and bay leaf into the bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender, about eight minutes. Add the beans, water, whole jalapeno, salt and some black pepper. Stir with a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits in the pan. Bring to a boil, cover, and bake for one hour. Uncover, add the tomatoes and their juices, and bake until the beans are tender and soupy, about 45 minutes to one hour. Stir in vinegar. While the beans bake, make the topping: Cut the sides off the bell pepper, chop into small pieces, and put in a medium bowl. Trim the scallions, thinly slice the white and green parts, and add to the bowl. Stir in the sour cream and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and some black pepper.

COOKBOOK, from pg. 22 for 45 minutes. Whisk the hoisin sauce, chili sauce and water in a small bowl. Remove the ribs from the oven and brush all over with the sauce. Cook uncovered, meat side up, until the ribs are tender and nicely glazed, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer the ribs to a cutting board and let rest five minutes. Thinly slice the white and green parts of the scallions. Cut between the rib bones and place ribs on a serving platter. Scatter scallions and sesame seeds, if using, on top. ■ The longer I live, the more I respect and adore beans of all sizes, shapes and colors. I never saw a black bean or a computer until I was in my teens, but I can’t imagine life without either of them now. The little beauties shine in tacos, burritos, soups, salads and all by themselves, like in the recipe below which also features a fabulous fresh topping. Baked Mexican Black Beans Serves 4 to 6 1 pound dried black beans 6 slices bacon 1 large onion 5 cloves garlic 2 teaspoons ground cumin 1 bay leaf 6 cups water, chicken broth, or a combination 1 jalapeno 2 teaspoons kosher salt

Book nook passes love for reading to next generation As a kid my favorite place ect of our own, what matin our farmhouse was the tered most to me was creatbay window in the living ing a book nook. I wanted room. The seat was covered our grandkids to experience in gold shag carpet that what had powerfully matched the floor. It was a shaped my story. place to pose for Christmas As I showed the cabinetpictures, provided extra maker a picture I had seating when the house was pinned, I could tell he wasfull of company, and it n’t seeing the necessity. “Are housed a few of Mom’s THE BACK PORCH you sure you need more hanging plants as well. But By Lenae Bulthuis bookshelves?” he politely for me, its ultimate purpose asked. A fair question since was to serve as a book nook. he built a wall of them in an For as long as I can remember, books adjoining room a few years back. I nodhave been special treasures to me. Dur- ded and cast the vision to countless ing our elementary school summer hours I would spend in this space readvacations my younger brother and sis- ing to the grandkids. ters would beg me to go outside and He smiled and half-joked, “How are explore groves and ditches with them. you going to keep them in there with I’d stubbornly refuse, planting myself in you? Should I build doors to lock them the bay window to read. Hence earning in?” the nickname “Houseplant” from my When the nook was complete, the brother. books in place, and the seat covered The bay window is no more. It was with cushions and pillows, I had Laneventually replaced in one of my par- don, age 5, sit on my right and Jackson, ents’ remodeling projects. And when age 3, to my left and said with all seriMike and I took on a remodeling proj- ousness, “Guys, do you see what I see?”

And I dramatically drew their attention to the children’s books on the shelves that sandwiched us. Then I continued, “This is the coolest place in the whole world to read.” And wonder of wonders, they believed me. Not that they won’t outgrow it, but for this precious sliver and slice of their stories, they think there’s nothing better to do with Nana then plant themselves in this spot to read. When our front door opens, that’s where they run. And when their dad said, “I bet you would’ve paid three times that amount for the nook if you knew it would actually work,” he was right. Not that Mike would’ve agreed to that plan. Here’s the thing. We all have a thing that has shaped us and made us who we are. For me it’s books — primarily ones that cultivate my faith and increase my love for God and people.

For you it may be farming, travel, cooking, quilting, sports, or some other passion. And that thing that has shaped you is the thing you get to enthusiastically share with the next generation. My cabinetmaker may not be a book person, but he still gets what it means to pass on his passion to the next generation. How do I know? Because the nook he designed for us was installed by his two sons. As people age, it’s said they revert back to their childhood. Better still to recognize what was good and right about our childhood, and pay it forward to the children entrusted into our care.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Agriculture Deputy Secretary Krysta Harden announces the U.S. Department of Agriculture will begin offering farm ownership microloans, creating a new financing avenue for farmers to buy and improve property. These microloans will be especially helpful to beginning or underserved farmers, U.S. veterans looking for a career in farming, and those who have small and mid-sized farming operations. “Many producers, especially new and underserved farmers, tell us that access to land is one of the biggest challenges they face in establishing and growing their own farming operation,“ said Harden. “USDA is making it easier for new farmers to hit the ground running and get access to the land that they need to establish their farms or improve their property.“ The microloan program is in its third

year and has provided more than 16,800 low-interest loans, totaling over $373 million to producers across the country. Now, microloans will be available to also help with farmland and building purchases, and soil and water conservation improvements. The Farm Service Agency designed the expanded program to simplify the application process, expand eligibility requirements and expedite smaller real estate loans. Microloans provide up to $50,000 to qualified producers, and can be issued to the applicant directly from the FSA. To learn more about the FSA microloan program, visit www.fsa.usda.gov/microloans, or contact your local FSA office. This article was submitted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. ❖

Street hockey

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

Hockey Plaza Eveleth, Minn.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

t’s Cold. It’s snowing. It’s a beautiful day in Eveleth, Minn., home of the Hockey Museum Hall of Fame and the world’s largest free-standing, builtto-scale, authentic hockey stick. We grew up playing baseball on the streets. So we’re going to believe the story that this town raised spunky and tough kids with big hearts who learned to play hockey on the streets and ended up with their stories and portraits in the Hall of Fame and on the sports pages of newspapers around the world. The Big Stick which commemorates and celebrates these remarkable players, championship teams, and the spirit of this iron mining town is very big. It weighs 10,000 pounds and is 110 feet long. The Big Stick is forever poised to slap a 5-foot diameter, 20-inch high puck across Monroe Street into a net. But this being Eveleth, that puck is not going to sail unopposed into the net. There is a 30 foot high by 80 foot wide goalie painted on the wall of the building across the street. He looks capable of stopping even 700 pound pucks. For good measure, a giant defensive player stands ready to assist. The Big Stick has been in place at Hockey Plaza, at the intersection of Grant

and Monroe, since September of 1995. It was replaced in 2001 with a stronger, slightly more gargantuan stick. In 2014, another mural was installed behind the stick. It’s called the Miracle Mural and it is made up of paintings, photographs and text which tell the story of Eveleth’s hockey history. There are mural sections for those Eveleth kids who went on to national fame such as John E. Connie Pleban, Mike Karakas, Frank Brimsek, John Mariucci and Willard Ikola. There is a section for those heroes who stayed close to home to show the kids how to be the best. Coaches Sergio Gambucci and Cliff Thompson are examples. Visiting the Big Stick and Hockey Plaza in downtown Eveleth in the summer is a pleasant thing to do. Then the Plaza is easily accessible and is an agreeable place to sit. In the winter there is no place to sit and it’s hard to get close to the Miracle Mural. But, if you listen closely as the snowflakes fall and the cold bites your nose, you may hear the sound of skates swooshing and kids voices as they play out their dreams on Eveleth’s back streets. ❖
