Letter: Stop blaming farmers Department of Natural Resources attempted to include private ditches in its buffer definition, before House Republicans convinced Dayton to call off the dogs. Enough is enough. Let’s not forget that farmers are also environmentalists, good stewards of the land, and care about clean water. We have a law in place that is being enforced so the environmentalists need to allow the process to play out before insisting on new, burdensome requirements and additional DNR overreach. We don’t need to tie the hands of farmers and unnecessarily blame them as the sole culprit of any poor water quality in Minnesota. They deserve our support.

To the Editor: When it comes to water quality, it’s time to stop blaming farmers for any perceived problems. During the last session of the Minnesota legislature, a “new” buffer law was passed which had many farmers upset. In reality, it reinforced the existing law by requiring installation of a 16.5-foot buffer on all public ditches by November of 2018. Many farmers feel these requirements will do very little to actually clean the water and consider it an illegal taking of land without compensation — all brought about by a last-minute midnight deal during the special session. Gov. Dayton wanted 50-foot buffers along all ditches, rivers, and streams which was an unconstitutional land grab. The Farm Bureau and Farmers Union signed off on the 16.5 foot compromise. Recently the assault on farmers continued as the

Commentary: Farmers most important one percent A mere 1 percent of our nation’s population are farmers, and this small percentage isn’t expected to grow anytime soon. In the five years between 2007 and 2012 the number of “new farmers” (those who had been operating for less than five five years) fell by 23.3 percent! So what? Why does it matter that as every year passes there are fewer farmers? To begin, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, there are 1.03 billion acres of combined crop and grazing lands in the United States. Or, in other words, almost 45 percent of the total land surface is used for agricultural purposes. As producers retire and fewer individuals pursue farming as a career, the average size of farm operations increases and the overall number of farms decreases. As a result, enormous tracks of land which purify water, sequester atmospheric carbon, provide habitat for wildlife, and produce food are under the stewardship of only a handful of individuals — farmers. The decisions and actions of this small cohort have immense implications for whole communities, cities, watersheds, ecosystems and even the world at large. Media reports which emphasize the negative impacts of agriculture on the environment are not uncommon. A very recent example is the degraded water quality of the Des Moines and Raccoon Rivers that supply the city of Des Moines. Other instances of environmental degradation
through farm management are perhaps underpublicized because their effects aren’t immediately apparent. Their impacts are easily overlooked at the farm scale, but are noticeable when considering an entire landscape. For example, tillage-induced erosion, biodiversity loss from unnecessary pesticide applications, and volatile flooding events following tile installation may not be impressive at the field level, but have additive effects that scale up to situations like the Gulf of Mexico dead zone. On a positive note, a small but growing assemblage of producers are making a concerted effort to reverse the negative environmental effects that agricultural practices have had through “regenerative agriculture”. The aim of regenerative agriculture practitioners is to produce nutrient-dense foods while restoring degraded natural resources (soil, water, and biodiversity). In collaboration with researchers from universities, government and non-government organizations, these innovative land managers use unbiased information to develop integrated, diverse and profitable production strategies. Farmers who focus on restoring soil health and biodiversity enjoy “underground insurance” — providing resilience during environmental hardships (such as drought, flooding, pests and diseases) usually resulting in long-term yield gain. The diversification of farm ventures by leading producers also offers economic stability by diversifying

the farm portfolio, mitigating the effects of market volatility in a select few commodities. Looking beyond on-farm benefits, the reversal of soil and biodiversity loss through regenerative agriculture restores the services poor management practices degrades. If soil health is improved, natural resource quality will follow. To a rural Midwesterner, agriculturally related events such as Des Moines’ poor water quality, or the Gulf Coast dead zone may be a case of “out of sight, out of mind.” But it is important to keep these occurrences in the forefront of our thinking. Planting diverse rotations, using cover crops, practicing integrated pest management, avoiding over-fertilization, and eliminating soil disturbance are only a few ways by which innovative producers are growing food while being environmentally responsible. Managers of agricultural land must ask, how are the decisions I’m making in respect to my farm impacting the world around me? The maintenance of clean air and water for future generations, providing habitat for wildlife, and the production of food are all grand challenges faced by farmers ... the stewards of the land ... the 1 percent. This commentary was submitted by Michael Bredeson, PhD student of Department of Natural Resources Management at South Dakota State University. ❖

GMO labeling shows free markets work when we let ’em
OPINION
GMO food labeling) to consumers could total as much as $82 billion annually — approximately $1,050 per hardworking, American family.” No one on the committee laughed, but all should have. It’s a preposterous estimate — just $10 billion under the combined farm value of 2014 U.S. corn and soybean crops. Labeling proponents placed the label cost galactically lower at about $2.30 per person per year. Later, the usually bipartisan Ag Committee approved Roberts’ bill by a lessthan-unanimous 14-6 vote. Several committee members believed Roberts’ “solutions” created new problems for the 66 percent of Americans who, poll after poll has shown, favor mandatory
GMO labels. The split vote also indicated trouble ahead for a full Senate. Roberts spent weeks looking for allies but found few. On March 16, a handful of Republicans sided with nearly all the Democrats to defeat a procedural vote on the Roberts bill. It was over. He was beaten. Stung by defeat, Roberts lashed out at Senate Democrats for failing to “address the problems facing the nation’s marketplace” because of “confusing and differing biotechnology labeling standards.” He added, “If we do not act, everyone loses.”

Growing up in Zomeren - 1990 the Alexandria FFA chapter, he was also involved in 4-H, Boy Scouts and church. Being involved in organizations was what he knew. In addition, his father, Bernie Van Zomeren, was the ag teacher and FFA advisor at Jefferson High School in Alexandria. His sister, Barbara Van Zomeren, served as treasurer on the 1987-88 officer team. Van Zomeren grew up on a 25-acre hobby farm with about 200 head of Rambouillet sheep, which he showed in 4-H, FFA and open class. Today, Van Zomeren has two children of his own and lives in Andover, Minn. He is an auto body shop manager for Roger’s Master Collision in the Twin Cities. Everyday he uses the leadership skills he developed in FFA. Through FFA, Van Zomeren gained people skills such as how to deal with conflict. He has worked in the auto body business for 22 years. When customers come in with a banged up vehi-
cle, he makes sure that the customer is happy and the car looks like new when the job is done. His work also includes negotiating with insurance companies for payments. When Van Zomeren looks back on his year as a state FFA officer, he recalls being very busy with school and FFA. He went to the University of Minnesota in St. Paul for agricultural engineering. “You see it as an opportunity and a lot of fun,” said Van Zomeren.
In planning the state convention, Van Zomeren said that everybody did their part and brought their own personality to the convention. For Van Zomeren, the highlight of his term was traveling across the state as an FFA representative. “I’m a people person. I liked the traveling, meeting people, dealing with business men and women, and farmers,” said Van Zomeren. “I learned how to stand up before a group.” ❖

Where were you in 1990? Garth Brooks and George Strait were rocking the country charts. We were all singing “Friends in Low Places”. In our cars and trucks, we were turning up “Blaze of Glory” by Bon Jovi and harmonizing “Hold On” with Wilson Phillips. “Pretty Woman” was playing in theaters, launching Julia Roberts into stardom. In 1990, President George H.W. Bush drew a “line in the sand.” U.S. troops were stationed in the desert of Saudi Arabia. In 1991, Operation Desert Storm was launched to liberate Kuwait from Iraq. Also in 1990, a proposal for the WorldWideWeb was published. Today, the internet has transformed both our personal and professional lives. Google, Amazon, e-mail and Facebook are at our fingertips 24/7 via our smart phones. 1990 and 1991 was a pivotal time for the United States. Current events of the day laid the grounddwork for the culture and politics of the 21st century. Meanwhile, the Minnesota State FFA Officer Team of 1990-91 was laying the groundwork for their own lives. Working together, they led and served FFA and its members. Leadership and service became the foundation on which they built their lives. See what this officer team is doing 25 years later.

Jim Lee: FFA gave me confidence, leadership Jim Lee Vice President To this day, Jim Lee, 1990-91 Minnesota State FFA vice president, remembers Mr. Paul Day’s catchphrase: Preparation promotes peak performance. Preparation has been a cornerstone of Lee’s career as a professional trainer. He began his career with NK Lawn and Garden in the packet seed division. Today he is the training manager for Metropolitan Mechanical Contractors, where he develops and implements training programs. Lee and Val Luhman-Aarsvold were tasked at the state convention to read all the FFA degree recipients. They spent hours practicing all the names to pronounce them correctly and keep the ceremony paced well. “The lesson was preparation,” said Lee. “Getting somebody’s name wrong was not an option.”
Lee and his wife, Christina, and their son Johnathan, live in Otsego, Minn., where they have a big garden and fruit trees. Lee graduated from the University of Jim Lee: 1990 Minnesota with a degree in ag industries and marketing. The best man in his wedding was his freshman year roommate, whom he met through FFA. Lee grew up on a hobby farm near Annandale, where he was in the Annandale High School chapter. His family raised sheep. Lee and his sister topped out at 40 head of Hampshire sheep that they showed in 4-H, FFA and open class. The sheep were raised for lamb meat to make the hobby farm pay. “That was always a tearjerker at the State Fair,” said Lee. “Market animals
don’t go home form the State Fair.” Raising sheep gave Lee a lesson in the responsibility of taking care of livestock. When it was 40 below, you have to bring warm buckets of water from the basement to the barn. Someone always had to be home to take care of the animals, especially during lambing. Looking back, he appreciates all his parents did to help him raise sheep. Besides showing livestock in FFA, Lee competed in many contests — soils, horticulture — and played in the state band. Lee said he was a shy kid and FFA gave Lee a chance to grow. “It gave me a great opportunity to build confidence and public speaking skills and develop those leadership skills,” said Lee. Lee even praised those blue FFA jackets.
“That official dress was a great equalizer for teenagers,” said Lee. “You got to know people for the person that they were.” He has fond memories of planning and putting on the State Leadership Conference at the Deep Portage Conservation Reserve in Hackensack. “It was such a cool environment. Our team worked well together in putting those weeks together so that the rest of the people there would learn something and walk away with something,” said Lee. The skills that Lee used as an FFA officer to plan camps and conferences are the same skills he uses today to plan training programs “FFA gave me the confidence to do things that I wouldn’t have done otherwise. It’s an organization that helps bring the best in somebody out,” said Lee. ❖
FFA Foundation director has perspective as state officer Many of you know Val Luhman Aarsvold as executive director of the Minnesota FFA Foundation. But executive directors have to start somewhere and Aarsvold began her FFA career in the Goodhue chapter, where she served at the chapter and regional levels before being elected secretary of the 1990-91 Minnesota State FFA Officer Team. “I fell in love with FFA when I was 15 and attended the state Greenhand Camp,” said Aarsvold. “I loved the positive messages and empowering people to learn and grow and develop and advocate for agriculture.” Aarsvold served her state term as a freshman at the University of Minnesota in St. Paul, where she earned a degree in agriculture education. For “seven awesome years,” she was an FFA advisor. Her husband, Paul

It was good for us to have a different perspective. — Val Luhman Aarsvold mark humor. He shared a memory of driving by a hog farm with Lowe. “Of course that wonderful aroma came into the car and Jerusha said ‘Smell that? It is the smell of money!’” said Lee. Brian Van Zomeren, 1990-91 president, also remembered Lowe’s smile and laugh, along with a voice that really carried. Van Zomeren admired her dedication. “She was a small town girl through and through. She had no interest in ever living in a big city,” said Van Zomeren. Biographical information in this report was from the obituary of Jerusha Lowe compiled by Benson Funeral Home in Worthington. ❖
<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>
Jerusha Solt Lowe, treasurer of the 1990-91 Minnesota State FFA Officer Team, embodied the FFA motto of “Living to serve.” Sadly, Lowe died of cancer at age 40 in rural Worthington, Minn., on May 7, 2013. She was raising a family of Jerusha Solt Lowe: 1990, 2013 three children with her husband, Charles Lowe. Lowe brought humor and perspective to the 1990-91 team. Val Luhman-Aarsvold, secretary in the 1990-91 team, recalled that Lowe had the most distinctive laugh. “She caught the attention of everyone in the room when she started chuckling,” said Aarsvold. Lowe pushed the team to do top quality work for FFA members. It was important to Lowe that FFA represented everybody. “She challenged us to think about things that we might not have thought about before. It was good for us to have a different perspective,” said Aarsvold. Lowe grew up in Reading and
began her FFA career in the Worthington FFA chapter, where she was the first female president there. She attended Worthington Community College, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, and Minnesota State University, Mankato. In both her career and personal life, she devoted herself to young people and education. She taught ag and shop at Fulda High School and Butterfield-Oden High School. She was a 4-H Extension agent for Jackson County. She also served as the youth director at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Worthington. As both a youth and parent, Lowe was active in Nobles County 4-H. Her most recent position was teaching special education in the Area Learning Center for Community Education in Worthington. Lowe was “straight-up honest,” said Jim Lee, vice president of the 1990-91 team. “She was passionate about what she believed and was never afraid to speak her mind,” said Lee. Lee also recalled Lowe’s trade-

In Oliva, she interned for Keltgen Seed Company. “During that internship I was primarily managing the seed corn, working with farmers and determining when the crew had to go in and detassle,” said Soltau. “I had a chance to look at the impacts of different agronomy chemicals on seed corn varieties.” Her internships taught her how to prove herself on the job. Today Soltau lives in Zumbrota, Minn., with her husband, Chris, and their two children. Tyler is in ninth grade and Anna is in fifth grade. For many years Soltau was involved in the FFA Foundation and FFA Alumni. While Soltau is not involved in farming, her husband works at Ag Partners in Goodhue as agronomy manager. Every spring, she supports him during those long hours. “We still are small town. Many of our friends are involved with the agronomy side,” said Soltau. “Farming will always be part of me.” ❖

By PAUL MALCHOW The Land Managing Editor NORTH MANKATO, Minn. – Farms in Costa Rica may be smaller, but the learning curve for 10 Minnesota ag students was big as they spent 10 days in the Central American country. The South Central College students made the trip in March as part of an international field study to experience practices and crops in a locale a little warmer than Minnesota. “It was hot,” admitted Leah Schloesser who was one of the students on the trip. “They’re used to the climate and they work through the day like it’s nothing,” she laughed. “We were dying.” Schloesser, 19, is an agri-business production student concentrating her studies in dairy. She grew up on a dairy farm near Le Center, Minn., which houses about 300 milkers and a like-number of heifers. “(Costa Rican) livestock is different from ours,” Schloesser observed. “They raise Brahman cows which are a little smaller than ours. They’re more heat tolerant.” Jake Huber also made the trip. The 21-year old Mapleton native is working on an agri-business major with an agronomy focus. “The (Costa Rica) farming culture is really different,” Huber said. “Almost everything is hand labor on the smaller farms. Even on the big banana plantations, it’s all picked by hand.” Huber stayed at a chocolate farm which was about 40 acres in size.

COSTA RICA, from pg. 13A Roberts organized the trip partnering with Earth University, a Costa Rican institution renown for agriculture academics. Earth University was established by Costa Rican law in 1986 as a private, non-profit, international university. The school is designed to prepare young people Megan Roberts from Latin America, the Caribbean and other regions, including Africa and Asia, to contribute to the sustainable development of their countries. The university offers a four-year undergraduate program in agricultural sciences and natural resources management. Earth University has two expansive campuses. The Guácimo campus is in the heart of the tropical rainforest in the Caribbean lowlands of Costa Rica. The 8,342-acre campus includes classrooms, laboratories, academic farms, student and faculty residences, a commercial banana plantation, reforested areas and a forest reserve. The second campus is called EARTH-La Flor and is located in the dry tropics of Costa Rica’s Guanacaste province. The 3,700-acre campus is used by students working on various projects; and also hosts seminars in areas such as solar, wind and mini-hydroelectric energy, biomass, biogas and waste management, as well as in carbon neutrality, entrepreneurship and sustainable agriculture. The campus farms also produce rice, sugarcane, mangos, hay and beef. Roberts was involved with Earth University when she was an undergraduate student. She maintains connections with the institute which helped organize and coordinate the SCC trip. “We spent about two years marketing the trip,” Roberts said. “Finally in the last week of January we got the go-ahead so we had to move pretty fast. We needed 10 students to make (the trip) work and we did that easily.” Most of the students had to secure passports and the group met every week to prepare for the trip. However, even with preparation, there were a few surprises awaiting in Costa Rica.

Monkeys wake you up and there’s lots of big bugs. — Leah Schloesser Leah Schloesser “Monkeys wake you up,” laughed Schloesser, “and there’s lots of big, big bugs.” “We had a very good driver through the entire trip,” Roberts added, “but people drive really fast on their narrow roads. There were lots of crashes.” Everyone agreed the Costa Ricans are very frugal with their resources and waste nothing. Biodigesters are commonplace. “They’re smaller systems,” said Schloesser, “but they can be when the temperature is always around 90 degrees. I was surprised by some of the equipment and technology they had available.” Huber had some hands-on biodigester experience. He took part in digging a 50-foot long trench, 5 feet wide and 4 feet deep by hand. “No backhoes,” Huber shook his head. “The soil was so rocky. It was hot. It was a lot of work.” Huber was also impressed with an aquaponics system he visited. Fish are raised in a tank and byJake Huber products from the fish are used to provide nutrients to plants. “My job is to expose (students) to new things,” Roberts explained. “The trip made me think more about composting and recycling. My goal is to do this every year, hopefully going to different places. We have 110 students in the ag program and the interest is there.” Both Schloesser and Huber said they would make the trip again. “Totally,” Schloesser said, “No question.” She paused. “I’d learn Spanish though.” ❖

National FFA Champion juggles farming, education By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer WILLMAR, Minn. — At age 20, Brett Petersen sports an impressive resumé in the business of farming. He’s partners with his brother, Hunter, and cousin, Cody Suder, in PeteCo — a 1,000 acre crop enterprise. Petersen is also a junior partner with his parents, Kyle and Paula Petersen, in their 5,000-plus acres of corn, sugar beets, sweet corn and peas. Skilled in farming technology and public speaking, he’s a secondyear student at Ridgewater Commu-
nity College in Willmar, studying agronomy and farm management. Now, add this achievement to his resumé: at the 2015 National FFA Convention in Louisville, Ky., Petersen was named the National Champion in Specialty Crops. The Land caught up with Petersen in the family’s farm shop for this Q&A. Q: How important is continuing education for you? Petersen: I think it’s vital.

We have only about 220 students in grades 7 through 12. It’s been a great road for me to travel with our KMS program. ■ As you might expect, Brett Petersen held some FFA offices throughout his career. He was chapter reporter in the ninth grade; vice president in tenth grade; president during his last two years in high school. Plus, he was elected Region 5 FFA treasurer. He considered a run at a state FFA office, but decided his plate was already full. Petersen sets high standards; but as he so well knows, nothing is accomplished until goals are set. ❖

But this starts with 50 since each state has a state winner qualifying for the nationals. These judges are from the industry so they ask some tough questions. All four of my judges were men, but women were also part of the judging group. Q: Is the National FFA Convention a highlight event in your young life? Petersen: Absolutely. I’ve attended five conventions. Yes, it’s a tremendous learning event. You meet fellow FFA’ers from across America. You meet and hear some dynamic speakers. You get even more enthused about this dynamic industry called agriculture and the reality that down the road you might be a key contributor to the future of this industry. A bonus of my national award is a one-week trip to Costa Rica in June to tour their ag industry along with 49 other FFA members from other states.

Farm kids left on their own find new way to sled When our children were in middle school, we decided they could spend the afternoon on their own while we had some running around to do. We got a lot done that day. And apparently our children did, too. They had created a way to have a little fun outside on a winter day while we were gone. Doing as their dad always did, they went to the shop to see what was around to create a sled. They had the junk couch which wasn’t doing anything. Now they needed runners. And once again, the iron pile provided the answer, as it had so many
times before. “We put some disk blades on the bottom of the couch so it would slide,” explained one of our grinning sons. By now, his dad was grinning too. The kids all worked on the “sled” together, then found a rope to hook it onto the four wheeler. What resulted was an afternoon of bonding in the great outdoors and a whole new definition of sledding. Everyone could participate at the same time, and it offered a new suggestion for “kicking back and enjoying a cold one.” Their shrieks of joy proclaimed success. If only the laundry pile held as much excitement as the iron pile does. Shrieks from the laundry room usually mean something totally different. Especially on the farm.

Grain Outlook Corn price plunges
Livestock Angles Tight supply of cattle
Grain Angles Next level management A goal of any good lender and/or financial counselor is to have their farmer clients move their management to the next level. In regards to better management through better financial reporting, that next level is moving from farm records used primarily for tax management purposes to farm records used for financial management decision-making purposes. Some of the key financial management related questions that I hear every day include: “Is my business truly profitable? I’m paying income taxes, yet my debt isn’t going down.” “Where is all the money going in my operation? It seems like we are falling JOEL LARSON behind.” “What changes should I AgStar Financial Services make in my operation to adjust to Credit Director lower grain prices?” “How do I Blue Earth, Minn. know if it’s a good time to sell my grain when it’s time to pay some bills or when the market is going up or down?” “How do I know if I should grow my business with my own cash or use borrowed money? Or should I be growing my business at all?” And, “How can I bring my son or daughter into the business?” Relying on farm records only for tax management purposes makes it very difficult to answer these questions. If a producer can upgrade their records and financial reporting to financial management quality, then it’s easier to answer management questions with confidence. So what’s included in good financial reporting for a grain producer? The following reports are my “Best in Class” management reporting: • A fiscal year-end balance sheet with supporting

The livestock markets appear to have run into some resistance after posting some early spring rallies. Nothing appears to be changing in the battle between supply and demand in either the hogs or cattle. The anticipation of a change in this battle is really not expected in the near future. This continues to make the livestock markets trade very erratic until supply or demand take over the majority of the price discovery process. The cattle market is the primary example of the continuing struggle between supply and demand. For months the market has been dominated by a tight supply of market-ready cattle and JOE TEALE weakening demand. This has put Broker the market in a seesaw battle Great Plains Commodity each week as to which way prices Afton, Minn. will move depending on the inventory needs of the packer. This has caused a very erratic and volatile price movement on a week-to-week basis. For the near term, the outlook for any change in this pricing behavior looks unlikely since there is very little change in either the supply outlook or in the demand for beef. Based on a longer-term outlook, unless demand picks up significantly, the supply of cattle looks to be on the increase, which could tilt the trend in prices lower for finished cattle. Given the poor economic conditions, it would be surprising if demand could significantly pick up; given the relationship of beef to the other competitive meats which are of better value to the consumer. Therefore, producers should be wary of the overall

The following marketing analysis is for the week ending April 1. CORN — The long anticipated U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Grain Stocks as of March 1 and Prospective Planting reports were released March 31. Leading up to the reports, corn began the week on a strong note supported by Federal Reserve Chairman Yellen’s comments stating economic conditions have changed since December’s view that interest rates would rise sooner than later. Current statements included taking a cautious stance on future rate increases, which pulled the U.S. dollar index lower PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. and pushed commodity prices St. Paul higher. Chairman Yellen stated “…meeting our objectives for employment and inflation will likely require a somewhat lower path for the federal funds rate than was anticipated in December.” May corn posted a key reversal lower mid-week, and the day prior to the USDA reports, after hitting its highest level at $3.74 per bushel since Feb. 5. In the December contract, prices matched the March 17 high of $3.90 per bushel before succumbing to selling. Cash grain sales by growers had picked up during the last couple of weeks as prices rose then came the release of the stocks and prospective planting reports. The Prospective Planting report was a bombshell at 93.6 million acres! The trade was anticipating 90

Soybean sales increase sharply with price rally NYSTROM, from pg. 21A million acres and last year we planted 88 million acres. If correct, this would be the largest corn acreage since 2013 and the third highest since 1944. This may be the biggest corn acreage number we see this year. The biggest decline from the March report to the final number has been 1.9 million acres. Even at that switch, we’d still be planting nearly 92 million acres. Prices crumbled in the wake of the report with May corn falling to a new contract low of $3.47.25 per bushel and the lowest level for a lead corn contract since September 2015. December corn plunged to a new contract low of $3.64.75 per bushel. Corn volume on the Chicago Board of Trade was near a record on March 31 at 930,300 contracts traded. The grain stocks as of March 1 were 7.808 billion bushels. This was in line with the trade estimate of 7.801 billion bushels. Last year we had 7.75 billion bushels of stocks on March 1. Last year on report day, May 2015 corn closed at $3.76.25 and December 2015 corn closed at $4.00.75 per bushel. For the week, May corn plummeted 16 cents lower to close at $3.54 per bushel, July was off 16.75 cents at $3.57.75 and the December contract was the biggest loser at $3.69.75 per bushel for a weekly loss of 17.5 cents. For the month, May corn lost 5.5 cents. Weekly export sales at 31.1 million bushels were a disappointment. However, the gap between this year’s total sales commitments vs. last year at this time continues to narrow. Total sales are 15 percent behind last year vs. 17 percent behind last week. The USDA is forecasting an 11.4 percent year-on-year decline. Average sales over the last seven weeks have averaged 39.4 million bushels compared to 23.8 million per week in the same period last year. We need 20.5 million bushels of
sales per week to attain the USDA’s 1.65 billion bushel export projection. China announced its new corn policy this week. They want to move to a more marketdriven scenario. Their domestic corn price is about 30 percent higher than international prices. It reportedly includes paying direct subsidies to farmers and an end to the government’s corn stockpiling program. Commercial firms will be encouraged to buy corn from farmers at market prices instead of the government buying directly from the grower. This would push production into the domestic pipeline and reduce the need for imports. China’s corn stocks, of questionable quality, are estimated between 110 million metric tons and 250 mmt. Importers presently have to buy some reserve corn before they are allowed an import permit. China’s new policy won’t take effect until October and was largely expected by the trade. Brazil made their largest purchase of Argentine corn in 15 years when they bought 90,000 metric tons this week. Brazil’s ag minister is proposing temporarily cutting the corn import tax, which would essentially lower corn import prices by 10 percent, to help accommodate the country’s livestock industry. The government is also considering selling 160,000 metric tons of government stocks to livestock producers to alleviate local shortages. Corn prices are at record levels in some areas. Some pork and poultry producers said they have already purchased up to 500,000 metric tons of corn from Argentina and Paraguay for April-May delivery. Brazilian traders said imports will probably not last past the start of winter harvest in the second half of 2016. OUTLOOK: For the month, May corn fell 5.5 cents. For the week, May corn collapsed 16 cents to settle at $3.54, July declined 16.75 cents to $3.57.75

Figure out your projected cash flow LARSON, from pg. 21A schedules. It is important that this is done consistently and at year end. • An Accrual Income Statement ties changes in balance sheets to income and expense information so you can determine true profitability. • A Reconciliation of Change in Owner Equity to Accrual Income Statement allows you to determine true net worth change against any appreciation or depreciation of assets. • A Statement of Cash Flows accounts for all dollars in and out, including all asset purchases and family living. • Develop an Enterprise Analysis indicating yields, cost per bushel, and cost per acre. Knowing your break-even point is a critical consideration when determining when to market and how to manage your inputs and land costs. • Figure your projected cash flow for the coming year. This is your road map for decisions on grain sales, asset purchases and borrowing money. It is particularly important for establishing your operating loan needs.
and the December contract dove 17.5 cents lower to $3.69.75 per bushel. Attention will now focus on planting weather for price direction. The current spring forecast doesn’t foretell any delayed planting conditions for the Midwest. As for El Niño, Iowa State University climatologist Elwynn Taylor indicated the transition from El Niño to La Niña will not adversely affect corn yields. SOYBEANS — Soybeans continued their trek higher in the first couple of days during the week, before finding selling prior to the USDA report release. The report numbers however, were friendly enough to push beans to their highest level since August 2015 on the continuous (lead month) chart. Producer sales of soybeans have increased sharply during the month as prices have rallied. New crop sales have also been impressive as growers made catch up sales. The Prospective Planting report was not a game stopper at 82.2 million acres compared to estimates for 83 million acres and last year’s 82.7 million planted acres. The planting survey was done the first two weeks of March, when the corn/soybean new crop ratio was near 2.3 and now it is 2.5. Will we see some acreage shift on this change, in addition to the wet conditions in the Delta? In six of the last seven years, soybean acreage has risen from the March intentions report to the June planting report. Soybean stocks as of March 1 were 1.531 billion bushels compared to the 1.556 billion bushel trade estimate. Last year on March 1 we had 1.327 billion bushels of soybean stocks on hand. On-farm stocks this year are up 19 percent from last year and off-farm stocks are up 12 percent compared to last year. Soybeans managed to close higher on report day despite the huge sell-off in corn. Weekly export sales were on the low side of prereport estimates at 10 million bushels. Total export commitments are 9 percent behind last year. The USDA is looking for an 8.3 percent fall in year-onyear exports. We need to sell 4.6 million bushels per week to achieve the USDA outlook for 1.69 billion bushels of exports. New crop sales were 3.3 million bushels, bringing them to 64.5 million bushels. Last year we already had 123.3 million bushels of new crop sales on the books. Harvest in South America is going strong with Brazil 70 percent complete and Argentina just gearing up at 7.6 percent complete. The Buenos Aires Grains Exchange upped their Argentine bean production estimate by 2 mmt to 60 mmt. The USDA is at 58.5 mmt. OUTLOOK: May soybeans were up for the month of March rallying 49.75 cents per bushel. For the week ending April 1, May beans were up 7.75 cents at $9.18.25 per bushel, July beans gained 8.25 cents to $9.26 and November soybeans were the leader with a 9.5 cent increase to close at $9.32.25 per bushel. The lower than expected acreage number was a supportive factor as was continued fund buying. First support in the May contract is the 20-day moving average at $8.99.25 per bushel will resistance at $9.29.25 per bushel, the high from October. Weakness in corn may weigh on the soybean market to limit further gains, but weather and planting ideas should dominate price action. ❖
MARKETING
• Finally, a marketing plan is a guide for making sales including marketing and risk management tools which may be used. One of your first considerations in building “Best in Class” management reporting is selecting the accounting system and/or software which is right for your operation. From my experience, many producers benefit from the assistance of a program like Adult Farm Business Management to guide them through the process. Other operations choose to work with an accountant who may be knowledgeable in both grain production and financial reporting. Your financial services officer can be a great resource in getting you networked with the right support. Good financial reporting has many advantages, including the ability to benchmark your operation vs. others. It’s never too late to improve your financial reporting and move to the next level of management. AgStar Financial Services is a cooperative owned by client stockholders. As part of the Farm Credit System, AgStar has served 69 counties in Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin with a wide range of financial products and services for more than 95 years. ❖

TEALE, from 21A condition of the cattle market and protect their inventories as warranted. It appears the hog market has reached a price level where demand has softened and supply of inventory is adequate to more than meet that demand. The pork cutout has been struggling to break through the mid-$70 range for several weeks; but has been unable to accomplish that feat. As a result, the cash and the futures markets have retreated recently from their respective highs. This would indicate demand resistance at these levels. Unless violated in the near future, it could signal a potential top in hog prices for the moment. This would be a little out of the ordinary, considering the typical seasonal pattern of the hog market. The high

ou can’t miss it driving through Arlington, Minn. — a helicopter either landing in or taking off from Memorial Park. Stop to check it out and you will find yourself on the Veterans Walking Path of Honor, part of Arlington’s memorial to all veterans. The ambitious project grew in phases. Back around the bicentennial of America, the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign War erected a pedestal holding three flag poles flying the U.S. flag and those of the two organizations. In time, the pedestal deteriorated. “When the bricks were falling off the pedestal, it was talked a lot at meetings that we should do something,” said Arden Kreft. “Nobody stepped upº so we decided to do it.” The “we” was Kreft, who at the time was the American Legion Post Commander, and Elroy “Blackie” Schwirtz, who was (and is) the VFW Post Commander. They spearheaded the effort to which the city council gave permission to enlarge the memorial, and gave them $10,000 from a park improvement fund. They borrowed an additional $20,000 from the city (which was shortly paid back). Veterans Walking Path of Honor was formed as a separate entity from the city and the veteran organizations. The group has since put approximately $750,000 into building this area in Memorial Park to honor veterans. Everything is paid for by donations and the sale of paving blocks. After rebuilding the pedestal, embellished with plaques commemorating all wars since the Civil War as well as the attacks on Pearl Harbor and 9/11, the memorial continued to grow with 50 more flag poles, a helicopter, statues, and the Veterans Walking Path of Honor. The path, leading from the street to the pedestal, is lined with paving blocks naming veterans, both living and dead. The helicopter is a Cobra obtained from the Army. It was shot down in Vietnam, restored, and saw action in Desert Storm before being retired. Around its base, a collection of dog tags jingle like wind chimes. Five statues representing all branches of service were added to form an honor guard around the helicopter. When nurses from the local hospital noticed none were female, they purchased a statue of a nurse to complete the circle. Fifty flags fly in the wind all summer. The memorial is a fitting backdrop for Arlington’s Memorial Day remembrance each year. Schwirtz said there are 730 paving blocks honoring veterans with room for 300 more. If there is a veteran you want to honor, you can contact Arden Kreft at (507) 9642401 or Blackie Schwirtz at (507) 9642787. ❖

The four week USDA-surveyed MIELKE MARKET cheese price used WEEKLY in calculating the By Lee Mielke month’s prices averaged $1.5162 per pound, down fractionally from February. Butter averaged $1.9905, down 14.5 cents. Nonfat dry milk averaged 75.22 cents per pound, down 1.7 cents, and dry whey averaged 24.77 cents per pound, up fractionally from February. California’s March 4b cheese milk price is $13.24/cwt., up 19 cents from February but 73 cents below a year ago, and 50 cents below the comparable Federal order Class III price. The gap is the smallest since June 2011, thanks to a state-mandated, temporary 4b price adjustment. The 4b average for 2016 now stands at $13.12 — down from $13.83 a year ago and $21.20 in 2014.

from January and $1.10 below February 2015. February corn, at $3.57 per bushel, was down 9 cents from January and 22 cents per bushel below February 2015. Soybeans averaged $8.51 per bushel, down 20 cents from January, and $1.40 per bushel below February 2015. Alfalfa hay averaged $142 per ton, down $5 from January, and $25 per ton below 2015. Looking at the cow side of the ledger, the report shows the February cull price for beef and dairy combined averaged $77.50/cwt., up 3.3 cents from January; $32.50/cwt. below February 2015; but compares to the 2011 base average of $71.60/cwt. ■ The Daily Dairy Report points out that the dairy Margin Protection Program margin for the January to February 2016 period is $8.01 which is $1.55 less than the prior two-month period and is a penny above the maximum protection level of $8/cwt. National Milk adds, “most forecasts now project the (MPP) program will make payments every month through August, with the low point ranging from $6.50 to $7.00/cwt. The forecasts indicate the all-milk price will average $1.60–$2.10/cwt. below 2015’s average for all of 2016.” ■ Chicago Mercantile Exchange cash dairy product prices saw little change the last week of March as traders anticipated the next Global Dairy Trade auction on April 5. The cheddar block cheese closed Friday at $1.47 per pound, down 2 cents on the week and 11 cents below that week a year ago. The cheddar barrels finished at $1.4550, up a half-cent on the week but 14 cents below a year ago. Seven cars of block were traded on the week at the CME and 11 of barrel. Midwest cheese makers say production is at or near full capacity, reports Dairy Market News. Milk is readily available and pushing into the vats. Some processors are trying to sell excess loads of milk to ease the pressure. A few manufacturers were willing to take it at $2 to $3 under Class to keep the vats full. “Inventories for commercial cheese types are generally long, but manufacturers are finding specialty cheeses are moving well and stocks of these varieties are tighter,” Dairy Market News
Lower feed prices offset a lower allmilk price to nudge the latest milk feed price ratio a little higher. The February ratio, at 2.15, is up from 2.14 in January and up from 2.05 in February 2016, according to the USDA’s latest Ag Prices report. The index is based on the current milk price in relationship to feed prices for a dairy ration of 51 percent corn, 8 percent soybeans and 41 percent alfalfa hay, in other words, one pound of milk today purchases 2.15 pounds of dairy feed containing that blend.

mer grilling season. “Western cheese manufacturers continue to report good retail demand for natural cheese. However, supplies are outpacing demand for process cheese and cheese entering manufacturing lines. Many contacts perceive cheese inventories are already long and growing and cheese production is very active. Some additional milk is being diverted to cheese vats as educational institutions go on spring break. Currently, milk supplies are in fairly good balance. But, as the region more fully enters into spring flush, some industry contacts are concerned growing milk intakes could further translate into heavy cheese inventories.” ■ Spot butter shot up early in the week, jumping 2.75 cents March 29 and closed April 1 at $1.96, 3.75 cents higher on the week. This reverses three weeks of decline and is 22 cents above a year ago. On the week, 15 cars were sold. Dairy Market News says, “cream availability in the Central region is steady to higher as increasing milk volumes clear to bottling to meet orders from educational institutions reconvening after the mid semester break. Also, milk intakes are higher at various butter/powder plants as farm milk production moves toward the flush throughout the region. Cream loads from both the east and west regions are clearing into central churning operations as cream supplies in those regions outpace manufacturing room.” “Butter churn operators are focusing on bulk production with an eye toward building inventories ahead of summer,” according to Dairy Market News. Inventories are steady to growing. But-
ter demand from retail outlets is lower and food service interest is reported as steady. On a bright note, Dairy Market News adds “with recent research showing the health benefits of dairy butterfat, many restaurant account managers continue to offer butter as a regular menu item.” But, the butter market is “unsettled.” “Market participants expected butter prices would moderate after the spring holidays. However prices on the CME Group trading venue have yet to show a downturn.” Dairy Market News says cream is “readily available for western butter production. However, churns are already full, or nearly full, and many butter makers are not overly eager to buy excess cream. Domestic retail butter demand is holding steady, Dairy Market News concludes, “but inventories are building at both manufacturers and secondary marketers.” Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk finished the week three-quarter cents lower, closing at 71.75 cents per pound, 25.75 cents below a year ago, with eight carloads trading hands on the week. The February Consumer Price Index for all food was 248.6, up 0.9 percent from 2015.

American Dairy wants visas for foreign workers able ‘prevent-plant’ acres from last year come back, with Missouri planting nearly an extra million acres of soybeans versus the previous year. The data also suggests USDA may have over-stated the size of the 2015 soybean crop by up to 25 million bushels, while spring wheat acres were much smaller than expected — putting more emphasis on forecasts for dryness in the northern plains and Canadian prairies for the growing season ahead. In the end, the margin for error against a weather threat got smaller for soybeans and spring wheat, while it became much larger for corn.” ■ Cooperatives Working Together accepted 11 requests for export assistance on the week from Dairy Farmers of America, the Michigan Milk Producers Association, the Northwest Dairy Association (Darigold) and Tillamook County Creamery Association, who have contracts to sell 2.216 million pounds of
