OPINION
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Pat Roberts (R-Kansas) and Ranking Member Debbie Stabenow (D-Michigan) announced compromise legislation on biotech labeling on June 23. AgriGrowth Executive Director Perry Aasness released the following statement: “We strongly support the GMO labeling legislation drafted by Chairman Roberts and Ranking Member Stabenow, because it will help avoid the economic costs and confusion that would result if we allowed a patchwork of state laws to go into effect. “Biotechnology in agriculture has provided numerous benefits, including increased crop yields,
decreased use of pesticides and it is absolutely safe for consumers. A national standard for labeling biotech food that will also prevent confusing and costly state-by-state GMO labeling requirements is crucial for farmers, food producers and for consumers. We thank Chairman Roberts and Ranking Member Stabenow for their leadership on this issue, and we urge the Senate to pass the biotech labeling agreement as soon as possible.” A cloture vote was scheduled for July 6 in which 60 votes were needed to limit debate to 30 hours and set up a floor vote as early as July 7.

the farmers’ soon-to-go CAP payments or when it might flow. For two years at least however, CAP will remain the key farm income scheme in the UK. Writing for the blog CAP Reform.eu, Irish ag economist Alan Matthews believes any EU-UK farm program changeover (something, he says, he will “deeply regret”) will be a long time coming. When it comes however, the vote “means that trade costs will rise because UK exports… to the EU will no longer be considered ‘internal’ trade.” Even then, he suggests, UK farmers should strive to remain in EU programs like its European Food Safety Authority, the European Chemicals Agency, and the European Emissions Trading Schemes to maintain “as much mobility of goods, services, capital, and people as possible.” Ultimately however, it’s people — not markets, not politics, not regulations — who will be most affected by the dramatic Brexit choice. Nationwide, it was a narrow victory for the Leaves. In the countryside though, farmers voted “more than 2 to 1” to go it alone. “Possibly,” explains economist Matthews, “this was because UK farmers are in the older age group…” Well, the oldsters won. And what they won was something they already had — yesterday — and what they lost could be something far more fleeting: tomorrow.

Historic Beef Royale emerging as top cattle show By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer LAMBERTON, Minn. — Wrapping up its 50th year, the Beef Royale attracts cattle producers from Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakota, and the public. This popular live show for market beef animals offers educational events, judging, youth and adult divisions. The Cottonwood Cattle Producers hosted the show at the Lamberton Stockyards on June 14. The event began with a morning weigh-in of competition animals, followed by judging team practice in the afternoon and a spectator contest at 5 p.m. The show wrapped up with viewing of cattle, awards and a ribeye steak supper. Prize money is awarded for the top three animals in steer and heifer divisions; pen-of-three; carcass. Payouts in the steer and heifer divisions are $250 for first place, $150 for second and $75 for third in both categories. In the pen-of-three competition (steers and heifers combined) prize money is $500, $250 and $100 for first, second, and third. The carcass competition has payouts of $500, $250, and $100 (steers and heifers combined). Dave Hansen is Lamberton Stockyard field representative and hands-on coordinator of the show. A great staff at the stockyard and dependable volunteers help sort the cattle and get the job done each year. This is the third year at Lamberton Stockyards. “We’re a non-profit event so we have a $35 entry fee for an individual animal; $100 for pen-of-three,” said Hansen. “Thanks to some great sponsors, we can offer some good payouts to winning individuals and pens. Besides pride in winning, good prize money makes this an attractive show to cattlemen.” Cattleman At 61, Glen Graff, long-time Sanborn-area cattle

He said that education is a primary purpose of the show. “We’ll have Minnesota cattle feeders plus a few Iowa and South Dakota feeders bringing animals for this show. There isn’t another beef show like the Royale, so we’re proud of what we have,” said Graff. “We get a goodly number of young folks, both 4-H and FFA, that get involved. And surprisingly, that spectator contest attracts both farm and non-farm people.” “We want everyone to better understand the Minnesota beef industry,” said Graff. “Our Royale is one way to do just that. And when you combine it with carcass competition, then you definitely are doing some teaching to everyone.” Graff Feedlots runs two separate feedlots. The home farm (a century farm) is permitted for 1,500 animal units. The feedlot where his daughter Hilary and husband Troy Paplow live has a county permit for 850 cattle. Graff is a long-time feeder of Western cattle but he will source a few Kentucky and West Virginia feeders during the summer because Western cattle aren’t available at that time. Black Angus predominates in Graff feedlots simply because, “the Blacks have more market options.” For this year’s Beef Royale, he trucked in nine ani-

mals for both pen-of-three competitions plus individuals in the steer and heifer on foot division which he hoped might qualify for individual carcass competition. Lamberton Stockyards Darvin Voge, with brother Arlon Voge, is the owner of Lamberton Stockyards, which handles about Darvin Voge 50,000 head of feeder cattle each season. “We get feeder cattle from Minnesota and some cattle shipped in nationwide. But Western cattle, the Dakotas, Montana, and Wyoming are the primary sources,” said Voge. “We’ll deal with any breed, but the majority these days are Black Angus. They’ve improved their genetics so they have a bigger frame and that lets a feeder grow them bigger.” At the end of the day, consumers have the biggest say, said Voge. “They like lean beef but with enough marbling to give lots of flavor and tenderness. More consistent carcass quality is the image of the Black Angus and that is why they dominate,” said Voge. Voge joined his brother in 1980 who owned the Stockyards for five years previously. His brother moved West to buy more cattle. The biggest change he’s witnessed in 40 years is online buying and selling of cattle. “We’ve got a network of buyers, so the large percentage of our cattle is first viewed by our buyers,” said Voge. “We keep lots of records so we do lots of sourcing from the same producers year after year.” He also noted feeder cattle are bigger than they used to be when they come in off the range. “Now our fall calves are weighing 600 to 700 pounds,” Voge said. “Years back they were 450 to 500 pounds. Yearling these days are in the 800 to 1,000 pound category. ” Lamberton Stockyards features 15 pens with a handling capacity of 800 to 1,000 head. Most cattle sourced by the stockyards go direct to the farmer feeder. Good service generates loyalty. “It’s sort of humbling to see cattle feeders who have never bought a hoof anyplace else but right here,” said Voge. Voge sees the cattle industry moving out of the Southwest into the upper Midwest where feed supplies are dependable and so are cattle feeders. “The advent of the ethanol industry was a big boost for cattle feeders in this area because of all the new feed stocks,” he said. “The DDGs (dried distillers grains) cut feeding costs significantly.” Live show winners at the 2016 Royale were: Steers — first, Jackson Kids (Carlie, Cole and Jake Jackson), Sanborn; second, Minnesota Supreme Feeders, Lamberton; third, Graff Feedlots, Sanborn; Heifers — first, Matt and Larry Evans, Russell; second, David Englin, Comfrey; third, Matt and Larry Evans, Russell. After the show, the cattle were taken directly to Tyson Foods, Dakota City, Neb., for harvesting and collecting carcass data. Carcass winners will be announced at the Beef Royale banquet on Nov. 12. ❖

gathering some thoughts for my writing assignment, when my husband said he was going to the bank and wondered what our immediate finances looked like. Of course I hadn’t balanced the checkbook yet, so I put my writing aside and worked on that so he could go to the bank a more informed borrower. I’d been back at it a short time before our son came in asking if he could have a haircut before he was to leave the next day for an event. By the end of the day, by the time their needs were met, the laundry was done and put away, supper was over and the kitchen was cleaned up; but before it was time to check the impending sheep and cow mothers before we went to bed, my family had everything they needed to keep themselves going. But my writing was in only slightly better shape than it was when the day began. I made the valiant effort, but it fell short of success. Wait until the cows find out what it’s really like to be a mom on the farm. They’ll need all four stomachs. Karen Schwaller brings “Table Talk” to The Land from her home near Milford, Iowa.

Andy Pulk, Roseau, Minn. June 30 There are some thirsty fields in parts of Minnesota and some fields that have more than enough moisture, too much in fact. Andy Pulk’s fields fall in the latter. The Land spoke with Pulk on June 30 as he reported: “We can’t miss a rainstorm.” June has been a wet month on the Pulk farm with 9 inches of rain so far for the month. On Father’s Day, between an inch and an inch and a quarter-sized hail fell. Pulk said he was thankful that it “didn’t do much
Joan Lee, McIntosh, Minn. June 30 Rain has been in short supply on the Lee farm. The Land spoke with Joan Lee on June 30 as she reported:“We could use some (rain).” Many fields in the area are “showing stress” due to the lack of moisture. Lee’s crops are doing OK thanks to being planted in heavier soil. The forecast calls for a chance of rain this weekend and Lee was optimistic a little moisture would make a welcome appearance. The corn is “so-so.” “Some of the places just didn’t germinatem,” she said. All the corn has been cultivated. The crop is “definitely above the knee, above waist high in certain spots.” Now that the corn is cultivated, Lee’s husband, Mark, has switched his focus to cultivating the soybeans. All of the organic beans are on former Conservation Reserve Program ground. “One of the fields definitely seems to be ahead of the other field,” she said. Lee said she believes that is due to the one field being on lower ground. “I imagine moisture was more of an issue,” she said. Lee reported that the oats are “starting to turn color a little bit” and the heads “look fairly thick, quite a bit of kernels on it.” The first hay crop was finished on June 24. In the last two days, Mark has been moving bales home from the field — 140 bales had to be moved. The second crop should be ready in a couple weeks. Over the next two weeks the Lee farm, they will finish cultivating the beans and enjoy “a little lull” in farm work. At this point in the growing season some of the things Lee sees out in the field “are positive, some are negative.” There seems to be a lot of variation in the crop progress depending on the field itself. All the fields though have one thing in common: they are more than ready for some vital moisture.
Kent Moser, Rock Rapids, Iowa June 24 Spraying, spraying and more spraying. While Kent Moser isn’t done with the sprayer, his focus has shifted as he’s “concentrating more on soybean spraying and finishing up corn.” The Land spoke with Moser on June 24 as he was viewing the crops with greater optimism than in the past few weeks. The corn looks “overall, very well,” Moser reported. There was some strong wind and hail that went through the area a few weeks ago that “root logged the corn a little bit,” he said. Fortunately the corn was able to bounce back. After that: “Corn has really taken off,” he said. Soil testing that Moser has done has shown lower levels of nitrogen in the soil. The result: “Lots of interest in side dressing. With the rain that we had we may have lost more nitrogen than we thought,” he said. Moser plans to begin side dressing nitrogen in the corn. Next up, Moser expects to soon be “scouting fields for root worm issues that may pop up.” The soybeans are “excellent,” he said. The bean “fields are staying fairly clean.” Moser has seen no big issues yet. He has however, seen more of a range in bean growth due to the various planting dates. “I’m optimistic in the progress that we’ve made,” Moser said. The timely rains have allowed for “good root development.” This has resulted in the crops doing “a lot better.”

damage.” It’s been so rainy that Pulk said it’s the “first time I’ve ever sprayed where I chased ducks out and was followed by seagulls.” The corn is getting close to canopying, with an average of 8 to 10 inches in height. There has been “good weed control.” The corn “is starting to get dark green again.” With a break in the rain this week, Pulk noted that “It’s not as stressed as it was last week.” The beans are “fair to a little better” and are currently 4 to 6 inches tall. The wheat is “all starting to head out.” Pulk said he feels like it’s “on par for at least an average wheat crop.” The rye grass is currently “average to above average.” All the rain doesn’t seem to have negatively affected this crop. The forecast calls for chances of rain next week with the temperature warming up. Today’s temperature was only in the 50s. Pulk said he is “hoping we get back into the upper 70s.” Overall, Pulk is “not super concerned” about the crops. Though warmer weather and a break in the rain would be a great way to kick off the month of July and give Pulk’s crops the boost they need.
John Nielsen, Albert Lea, Minn. June 23 After a wet period including some bouts of hail, the Nielsen farm has been missing the recent heavy rains. So much in fact, that they could actually use a little moisture now. The Land spoke with John Nielsen on June 23 as he reported that the corn has taken off after the rain. Knee high by the Fourth of July? Try shoulder high by June 23 in some of Nielsen’s fields. “The corn is generally good to excellent,” he said. However, there are some yellow streaks. “I don’t know if it’s from too much rain or compaction problems,” Nielsen said. Side dressing of corn was completed on May 18. Nielsen finished spraying his soybeans on May 21 and now they’re starting to really grow. “They look relatively good, even the ones that got nicked by hail,” he reported. Now that spraying is complete: “We’re set here until the aphids come,” he said. Nielsen expects that to happen in about six weeks. Nielsen continues to work on projects on the farm including “preparing a site for new bins this week.” He is quick to point out that there’s “always a lot to do” on the farm. While there’s always work to be done, a little fun is also necessary. Nielsen opened up his pool for the summer on June 22. The grandkids are enjoying the time in the water and Nielsen is enjoying the beautiful summer evenings, even more so without the annoyance of mosquitoes so far. “Not many mosquitoes here yet,” he said.

Today, that has all changed. By simply driving by, you would know it was no ordinary house. It took 10 years, $250,000, and thousands of volunteer hours to restore the house to its original condition. “Charlotte and Hobart Anderson were the couple that were instrumental in starting the restoration and completing it,” Glotzbach said. “They were the drivers of the restoration.” In 1988, the house came up for sale, and “people didn’t realize what a gem there was under all of that siding,” she said. Fortunately, a group of people who had just finished the renovation of the John Lind house were looking for another project. The Wanda Gag House Association was formed and they

“Where Farm and Family Meet”
By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent NEW ULM, Minn. — It is difficult to know which is a more interesting story to tell, the one about children’s author Wanda Gag, or the one about the fanciful house in which she grew up that was designed by her father, Anton Gag. Since Ms. Gag (rhymes with fog) achieved her greatest success after she left Minnesota, we’ll concentrate on her childhood home in New Ulm, which has been lovingly restored. While the artistic value of the house can be credited to her father, it is of historic interest because Wanda Gag grew up here, so first a bit of her story. Wanda was the first of seven children born to Anton and Lissi Gag. When she was a year old, Anton designed a two-and-one-half story house that was built on what was then the edge of New Ulm. Anton was a painter and photographer. He and Lissi were Bohemians, who encouraged their children in all things related to music and the arts. Gag was 15 when her father died in 1908. “She immediately started writing stories, doing illustrations, and sending them to publications to make money,” said Sharon Glotzbach, president of the Wanda Gag House Association. After high school, Gag taught country school for a year and then received an offer to attend art school in Minneapolis. “New Ulm people were really unhappy that Wanda went off to art school,” Glotzbach said. “They thought she should have stayed in New Ulm and worked to help the family.” Gag was however, working and earning money with her art and writing. She eventually went to New York to further her career. While there, in 1928, she wrote and illustrated “Millions of Cats”. “This is what put Wanda on the map,” Glotzbach said. “It has never been out of print since 1928 — the longest in-print picture book in the United States. She printed it horizontally rather than vertically — spreading illustrations across two pages, which had never been done before.” After her mother died in 1917, Gag’s siblings had joined her in Minneapolis. Some of them followed her to New York, and then to her home in Connecticut, which she built after her success. Her lithographs, paintings, and books led to a comfortable life, which ended with her death at the age of 63 in 1946. Wanda Gag House When all of the Gag children had moved from the New Ulm house, it became a boarding house for rural high school students. The owners added a porch to the front and made other changes. “They covered up some windows. There were 27 windows — which were a lot of windows for the day — to make it more accommodating for the boarders,” Glotzbach said. Open turret porches were enclosed, and in time finials were removed from the roof and it got different siding. For many years, the only indication it had been the home of a famous author was a little sign designating it as the Gag house. The sign was put up by University of Minnesota Women many years ago.

Anton Gag used all of his artistic ability in designing the house. He used that ability to decorate the inside with stencils, paintings, and the like. “The Gags did not have a lot of money, so he built a house to look like a rich person’s house,” Glotzbach said. “It had seven different colors of paint on the outside. It had 27 windows in seven different shapes. If you think how this house was on the outskirts of New Ulm when he built it, it was a pretty amazing house going up kind of in the middle of nowhere.” Seven seemed to be a number Anton was attracted to. The house had seven rooms. There are seven walls in the main room downstairs. There are seven areas of stencil in the house,

on the roof and all the different kinds of windows, WGHA painstakingly restored the house as close as possible to its original 1894 look. “Every room has a piece of the wallpaper that was here when the restoration started,” Glotzbach said. “Under the wallpaper they found the stencils and painted them in. The walls are original color. (The restorers) took wallpaper off and did not do anything to the walls after the wallpaper was off.” There was no attempt to furnish the house, since no original furniture would be available. But WGHA has obtained some original lithographs and artwork by Wanda which hang on the walls. Also displayed is work by her sister Flavia (also an artist and author) and brother Howard (a musi-
cian by trade who hand-lettered Wanda’s children’s books), as well as paintings by father Anton. Anton moved his photography studio from downtown New Ulm to the top floor of the house until having seven children (yes, another number seven) required the space for a bedroom. Glotzbach said he then concentrated on painting, doing murals in homes and churches. His murals can be seen in the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in New Ulm. He had a painting hanging in Minnesota’s capitol building, but his art usually did not go beyond New Ulm. This summer, the house has a display of original works by Wanda Gag. Gag’s works are also on display at the Brown County Museum in New Ulm.❖

Those decisions come very easy to the producer who has been working in the business for a number of years. Other decisions may not come as easily and take more thought and energy. How a producer approaches decision-making could impact the business and/or family for years to come.

Volatility and the livestock markets seem to go hand in hand these days and the outlook remains pretty much the same. This volatility remains a struggle between supply and demand which is likely to continue for the near term. This could continue to bring big swings from week to week in livestock prices. The cattle market closed the week ending June 24 at the lowest level in many months. The futures lead option is at the lowest level since September 2011 and cash prices are lowest level since December 2015. The major factor affecting these lower prices appears to be a weakening JOE TEALE demand for beef which has deteBroker riorated over the past few years. Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. The competition for meat protein has been about value which has favored the poultry and pork sector of the market because of price per pound. On June 24, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released the Monthly Cattle on Feed Report which indicated that the number of cattle on feed was still expanding. The USDA also released the Monthly Cold Storage Report which showed a decrease in the amount of beef in storage from the previous month. Historically, this report shows the lowest amount of beef in storage during the summer months and then begins to expand again in to the fall. Therefore, one conclusion would be with increasing supplies and weak demand, the overall direction in prices for the long term would be lower. This does not preclude the fact that prices may not rise due to changes from time to time in either short-term supplies or short-

The following marketing analysis is for the week ending July 1. CORN — After spiking higher in the first half of the week, corn sold off sharply into and after the long anticipated June 1 Stocks and Acreage reports released on June 30 as weather forecasts moved to more favorable rains and temperatures. When the reports proved to be bearish, prices sank further. December corn nearly touched its contract low of $3.64 that was set April 1, but was able to hold the decline at $3.65.25 per bushel. For the week, September corn crashed 29 cents to settle at PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. $3.60 per bushel and the DecemSt. Paul ber contract tumbled 27.25 cents to close at $3.67 per bushel. Fresh contract lows could be expected in the coming days. Improving weather, less heat and better chances for rain prompted long liquidation ahead of the June 30 report day. A consolidating lower U.S. dollar didn’t provide the usual support. The dollar was sharply higher after the Brexit vote, but moved sideways lower ahead of the long U.S. Fourth of July weekend. Both the June 30 Acreage and Grain Stocks as of June 1 reports provided a surprise negative impact to the market. The grain stocks report showed more corn stocks in inventory than the trade had been factoring into prices. The acreage report was also bearish with a bigger number than industry estimates. Corn stocks as of June 1 were 4.722 billion bushels, exceeding the average trade estimate of 4.528 billion

Beans rally on friendly acreage report, demand NYSTROM, from pg. 9 bushels by 194 million bushels and 269 million bushels higher than last year’s 4.45 billion bushels. This was the largest June 1 stocks figure since 1988! The highest trade guess was 4.65 billion bushels, making the actual number very bearish. The industry expectation is a decline in feed use on the July World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report of 100 million bushels. Corn acreage for this year is pegged at 94.15 million acres compared to the March forecast for 93.6 million acres and the trade estimate of 92.90 million acres. This is the third biggest acreage number since 1944. The highest trade estimate was 94 million acres, so the actual number surpassed even that. Last year, U.S. farmers planted 88 million acres of corn. Weekly export sales were nothing special this week at 18.4 million bushels for old crop and 21.1 million bushels for new crop. Cumulative old crop sales at 1.846 billion bushels are now 3 percent above last year and have surpassed the 1.825 billion bushel U.S. Department of Agriculture forecast. New crop sales now total 198.5 million bushels, which is well above 120.8 million bushels on the books last year at this time. Weekly ethanol production rose by 41,000 barrels per day to 1.003 million bpd. Ethanol stocks were up 100,000 barrels to 21.2 million barrels. The National Agricultural Statistics Service May Grain Crush report showed corn used for ethanol at 425.7 million bushels. This is well below
the pre-report estimate of 433 million bushels. The implied yield was 2.87 gallons per bushel. In the first six months of the marketing year we were only averaging a yield of 2.8 gallons per bushel. This is likely the reason behind the smaller crush number. Brazil this week said they no longer plan to auction 500,000 metric tons of government corn supplies. Prices have fallen and some exports have been canceled, allowing more corn to flow into domestic channels. Brazil’s second corn crop or safrinha crop will soon be available to the market. OUTLOOK: Weather will be the key driver to price direction. It’s likely we will push through the April low in December corn, leaving the next support at the fall low on the continuous chart at $3.47.25 per bushel. The $4.00 level will provide overhead resistance, maybe for the rest of the season. SOYBEANS — Soybeans took a different path from corn this week as it returned a huge rally. August soybeans rallied 62.75 cents to close at $11.64.25 per bushel and the November contract surged 59 cents higher to close at $11.37.5 per bushel. The June 30 acreage report was interpreted as slightly friendly since it was smaller than trade expectations. The larger-than-expected stocks number was offset by ideas that demand for the balance of the year will be strong. There was trade chatter saying warmer forecasts were a bullish influence on prices; but in my opinion, it is way too early to count out the bean yield on long term forecasts. Soybean stocks as of June 1 were released in a
MARKETING
USDA report on June 30. The 870 million bushels of stocks were 41 million bushels higher than prereport projections for 829 million bushels and 243 million bushels more than last year’s 627 million bushels. The highest trade estimate was 862 million bushels. Trade chatter is that last year’s production was underestimated. U.S. farmers planted a record 83.69 million soybean acres this year, according to the report. This was a jump of 1.452 million acres from the March intentions report of 82.24 million acres and 146,000 fewer acres than the average trade estimate of 83.83 million acres. Last year we planted 82.7 million soybean acres. Weekly export sales were good this week with 26.8 million bushels for old crop and 29.3 million bushels for new crop. New crop sales were the highest of year. Old crop sales are even with last year and total commitments at 1.861 billion bushels are 6 percent higher than the USDA’s forecast for 1.76 billion bushels of exports. Keep in mind there will very likely be bushels rolled into new crop, as is usual every year. The May NASS Fats and Oils Crush report was a record 160.9 million bushels, but was still below the 163.3 million bushel expectation. OUTLOOK: Basis levels for the week were strong as processors compete with the export pipeline for soybean supplies. For now, excellent demand for soybeans could counter favorable weather. Longer term support for the November contract lies at $10.72.5 per bushel with resistance at the June high of $11.86.25 per bushel. ❖
Decisions: Identify goals, gather information, tell others OLSON, from pg. 9 a decision which has cascading decisions. There will be decisions around economics, tax impacts, legal documentation, governance, and timeframe for example, that will be made while considering the primary decision to begin business transition. Determining what is needed in order to make the decision: Making the day-to-day decisions comes naturally because producers typically have the information they need to make that decision. For example, deciding which field to plant in the spring is determined by soil, weather and other conditions familiar to the producer. The decisions which take more energy, often have unknowns which cause apprehension and may result in the individual putting off the decision. In the example of making a marketing decision, the individual may have identified goals such as timing based upon cash flow needs. However, the unknowns related to marketing are complex and the apprehension may cause the individual to become stuck and avoid making any decision. Determine what information is needed in order to make the decision. Grain producers will need to know their cost of production. They need to understand their debt structure in order to manage cash flow. They need to know funds needed for personal living and factor that into the overall cash flow.
When making long-range planning decisions such as business transition, there is a laundry list of information needed in order to move forward. Information will come from multiple resources including professional advisors for financial, tax, legal, and insurance considerations. Include the lender and others to gather information needed for the cascading decisions that surround the primary decision to begin a business transition plan. Identify who needs to be informed or included in the decision process: The decisions that impact others takes time and energy. The communication takes extra efforts and for those who are reluctant communicators, the apprehension may prevent them from taking action. Begin the decision-making process by identifying who is impacted by the decision. Ascertain the level of communication which is needed with each of the individuals impacted. Determine if they will be informed of the decision or if they need to be a part of the decisionmaking process. For those who will need to be informed of the decision, outline when and how they get their information. For those who need to be included in the decision, get them involved early-on so all who are involved can get aligned on the goals and objectives. Avoid second-guessing your decisions: The decision maker will often reflect on whether they are making the right decision. At the onset, when the
decision criteria are being considered and identified, be sure to address the “what if ’s” of the decision. Consider the question, “what is the worst that can happen?” as a part of the decision-making process. In some situations, a flexible plan can help with the second-guessing aspect of the decision-making process. Building flexibility into a decision allows plans to be adjusted periodically if needed. However, not all decisions can be flexible. In those situations, if the decision maker believes the decision did not produce the results they wanted, view it as a good learning opportunity. Ask questions, such as: what could be done differently next time; or what additional information would have been beneficial? Compare the results to the decision criteria. Being OK with your decision and not second-guessing is an important factor in preparing to tackle the next challenging decision. Get started: If you are contemplating a decision, take the steps necessary to generate optimal results. Identify the goals you are trying to accomplish, involve and inform the appropriate people, consider the “what if” scenarios, and take action.

all hog numbers have increased more than the trade had anticipated. This, coupled with the USDA Cold Storage report, (which indicated a slight reduction in pork supplies from previous reports) would still indicate the supplies are more than adequate to meet the current demand for pork. Because the U.S. dollar has recently made a rebound in value against most other currencies, the export market of pork may suffer some from this advance. Producers should take a cautious approach toward the hog market at this time as the futures market has quickly moved from a premium to a discount to the current hog index. This could be a signal the hog market prices are getting tired and ready for a setback from current levels. ❖

TEALE, from pg. 9 term increases in demand. Producers should consider the market consequences if this scenario plays out and protect inventories as needed. From a historical standpoint, this time of year seasonally finds a top in the hog market. It would appear this once again might be a case that a top in prices is not too far off. Despite the past several months that has seen a very nice rally in prices due to very good demand for pork, the hog market is approaching price levels of past resistance. One factor which might greatly influence the market was the release of the USDA Quarterly Hogs and Pigs report on June 24. The report estimates over-
above a year ago. The barrel cheddar shot up to $1.71 (the highest level since October 2015) then retreated — closing at $1.67. That’s up 13.5 cents on the week, 8.75 cents above a year ago, and 4.5 cents above the blocks — despite 28 cars of barrel exchanging hands on the week at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange plus six of block. Cheese production is steady in the central region, according to Dairy Market News. Milk intakes remain high, and plant managers report little change in milk components and yields. Demand from retail and foodservice are both strong. Cheese stocks are seeing relief as strong sales prevail. Manufacturers producing cheese requiring little to no aging report light inventories. Other participants report long inventories. International interest in U.S. cheese is light.

NMPF urges Senate to pass federal food labeling law MIELKE, from pg. 11 week and 41 cents above a year ago, with six cars trading places on the week at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. July is National Ice Cream month and the time of year that generally sees strong sales. Butter manufacturers are reportedly selling cream for America’s favorite dessert instead of sending it to the churn knowing butter stocks are well supplied. Butter production varies across the central region, says Dairy Market News. Some manufacturers are keeping churns running at full schedules. Others are slowing. Demand for butter is high. However, many stockholders are choosing to hold on to their inventories or have stocks that are already committed. Industry participants comment retail outlets show more interest in planning ahead and are locking in prices. Some end users have reportedly set up contracts through the end of the year. This has several butter manufacturers packing ahead for the fall. Market participants speculate a large portion of inventory in the central region is committed print butter. Industry contacts comment that bulk butter is hard to come by in the central region. Western butter makers say cream supplies are tightening as ice cream manufacturers use more cream.
Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk finished at 83.5 cents per pound, which is down 6.5 cents on the week, but a quarter-cent above a year ago. On the week, 36 cars traded hands at the CME, 17 on July 1. High summer temperatures are lowering dairy cows’ production in most regions of the country, according to Dairy Market News’ weekly update; but output is steady in the northeast and mid-Atlantic. ■ In politics, the National Milk Producers Federation joined more than 1,000 agriculture, business and food companies in urging the Senate to pass legislation which would create a uniform, federal system for labeling foods produced using biotechnology. A letter addressed to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), was sent by the Coalition for Safe and Affordable Food and stated the issue of biotech food labeling was “one of the most significant issues that the agriculture and food industry has faced in recent years,” and urged the leaders to take up the bill immediately. The Senate, in a procedural vote, positioned the bill to be considered by the full Senate next week, reports the Northeast Dairy Farmers Cooperative’s Bob Gray. The first step will be a cloture vote, 60 votes needed. If this is successful, a vote on final passage could occur July 8. The Senate and House will then have to conference their two bills.

Meanwhile, the United States, Canada and Mexico kicked off the North American Leaders’ Summit in Ottawa, Ont., this week. A NMPF press release stated one topic of key importance in the trading relationship between the United States and Canada is that “Canada has been persistent in undermining U.S. dairy export access, a pattern that has cost American dairy farmers and processors hundreds of millions of dollars. Most recently, Canada has instituted a new pricing policy at the provincial level that is designed to discourage Canadian processors from using imported dairy products.” Complete details are posted at NMPF’s website. ■ Is Uncle Sam culling dairy farmers instead of dairy cows? Idaho dairy producer and National Dairy Producers Organization board member Bob Krucker writes in his latest member newsletter; “Today, the making of milk is a self-destructive business. The U.S. dairy farmer losses are systemic in nature not cyclical as many claim. We have been losing dairy farmers continuously for decades, 600,000 down to now less than 40,000. “The U.S. dairy farmer has and will always have the ability to increase the supply of milk far beyond profitable demand,” according to Krucker. “This basic, structural and comprehensive reality must be understood if our existing national milk producing infrastructure is going to be preserved. To achieve a profitable price for milk, the milk supply must be balanced with the profitable domestic market demand. The market has been and continues to attempt to achieve this balance by culling dairy farmers.” Krucker says, “It is now time for dairy farmers to create this balance of milk supply with profitable domestic demand by sharing in the pro-rata across the board culling some cows instead of the culling of their dairy farmer neighbors.” He says remaining dairy farmers need to “share in the pro-rata across the board culling of cows. This can happen if the co-ops, who process 80 percent of the milk in the U.S., would implement a pro-rata across the board reduction of milk accepted for processing until the milk supply is balanced with profitable demand.” Visit http://nationaldairyproducersorganization.com to learn more. ■ Western United Dairymen reports the California Department of Food and Agriculture released cost of production data for the first quarter of 2016, “pointing to the lowest cost of production since the second quarter of 2014. The average California dairy managed to produce milk at a cost of $18.44 per cwt., down 68 cents per cwt. from last year, but well above the current milk price. In fact, comparing the income received on the farm with the cost of production shows a loss of $3.56 per cwt. during the first quarter of 2016.” Lee Mielke is a syndicated columnist who resides in Everson, Wash.

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent Author Margaret Guthrie notes, in her 1987 classic cookbook “Best Recipes of Minnesota Inns and Restaurants”, that “painters, sculptors, musicians and writers, by their very creativity, live on. What a chef creates is eaten up. No evidence is left of her or his genius, except an empty plate.” And so began her quest to document sample recipes from some of the great dining establishments across Minnesota before they were lost forever. From Wabasha’s Anderson House to Northfield’s Archer House, on towards Duluth’s Fitger’s Inn and through Brainerd’s Kavanaugh’s Restaurant, Stillwater’s Lowell Inn and the Naniboujou Lodge in Grand Marais, Guthrie found her precious recipes. Here are a few to savor for yourself. ■ Black pepper: the reason Columbus set sail for China and bumped into the Americas instead, where he ended up becoming a tyrant and dying an awful death. In this recipe, the black pepper plays a happier role, covering the steak with its spicy love and getting seared in deep. Pepper Steak Michael’s Restaurant, Rochester 1 (8 ounce) sirloin steak, 2 inches thick Cracked black pepper Kosher salt Garlic salt Seasoning salt Ground black pepper 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup lemon juice 1/3 cup dry white wine Press coarsely ground black pepper into both sides of steak. Sprinkle both sides with kosher salt, garlic salt, seasoning salt and ground black pepper. In a heavy skillet, melt butter over hot fire, add lemon juice and sear steaks on both sides. Cook until desired degree of doneness. Transfer meat to a serving platter. Heat white wine in skillet with beef juices. Swirl the pan over the flame and pour the juices over the steak. ■ Finally, a great new way to fix chicken breasts! Exquisitely tender and moist, with a delicately sweet glaze, Champagne Chicken is my new go-to chicken dish. It’s easy and light and goes with any kind of meal — from a light lunch to a fancy dinner. Make extra because the flexible leftovers are great chopped into a chicken salad, sliced onto mixed greens, or nestled into a bread roll. Four out of four “yums” from the Johnson gang! Champagne Chicken Breasts Clyde’s on the St. Croix, Bayport 6 boneless chicken breasts (6-8 ounces each) 1 cup flour mixed with 2 tablespoons seasoning salt 1/2 cup melted butter 2 cups champagne (I used non-alcoholic)

Pork Medallions in Mushroom Beer Gravy The Palmer House, Sauk Centre 8 pork chops (1/2 inch thick, boned) Flour 2 tablespoons butter 1/2 cup chopped green onions 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms 1/2 teaspoon thyme Beer (enough to cover) Salt and pepper Minced parsley to garnish Dust chops in flour. Heat butter in large iron skillet until foaming. Add chops and brown sell on both sides. Remove chops and set aside. Add onions and garlic to skillet and sauté two minutes. Add mushrooms and thyme and sauté and additional three minutes. Return chops to skillet, add beer and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer one hour.

Lightly bread the chicken breasts in the seasoned flour. In a heavy skillet containing the melted butter, lightly brown the chicken breasts on each side. After browning, pour off any excess butter. Add the Champagne and simmer the chicken breasts over low heat until tender and the champagne has been reduced to a light glaze. ■ Notice how wine and butter are common features in these restaurant recipes?

“Dear County Agent Guy” by Jerry Nelson c.2016, Workman Publishing $14.95 / $22.95 Canada 210 pages THE BOOKWORM SEZ
<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>
By Terri Schlichenmeyer
Seems the weather’s always wrong, prices are lower than they need to be, and there’s always a hole in some fence somewhere. Still, you’d never have it any other way, so read “Dear County Agent Guy” by Jerry Nelson. You might as well laugh, right? More than three generations ago, when Jerry Nelson’s great-grandparents began farming on “the open prairies of eastern South Dakota,” they had no idea that they were leaving a legacy. From them, Nelson inherited a love of the land, a career, a ramshackle ancestral cottage and, presumably, a good sense of humor. For a few years after high school, Nelson farmed near the old homestead and eventually co-farmed with his father. That was after he decided that life would be better with a little “female companionship,” and he took a wife. A farm is a great place to raise a family. Nelson’s great-grandparents did it. His grandparents raised their children on a farm, as did his parents and that’s where Nelson’s boys grew up. It’s where the old family cabin moldered until it fell apart, and where Nelson found a letter from his father dated long before Nelson was born. It’s where silage doesn’t taste very good (but the cows sure love it); and where a man with a pickup
is everybody’s friend. The farm is where pastures hold memories of times spent with Dad. It’s where lessons are learned that stick with a boy long after he becomes a man. It’s where cows are pets, snow is no excuse to stay home, and where lives change because accidents happen. Maybe it’s just me, but I could swear I smelled fresh country air while reading “Dear County Agent Guy.” Yep, this book reminded me of warm spring afternoons, when you’re driving on a dirt road and you stop to jaw a minute with a neighbor on a dusty tractor. There are loving-the-farm moments, wrapped inside hating-thelosses chapters. And yes, there are times when reading this book is like watching someone pratfall in a fresh cow-pat because author Jerry Nelson sprinkles good-natured, genuine humor all over his essays here. I laughed out loud more than once at this book, and I think you’ll like it, too especially if you understand its very title. For you then, grab “Dear County Agent Guy” and plant yourself down. The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terri never goes anywhere without a book. She lives in Wisconsin with three dogs and 10,000 books. ❖

By CAROLYN VAN LOH The Land Correspondent BALATON, Minn. — The school in Balaton, a small Lyon County town, has closed its doors to students. The building still looks like a school from the outside. The entry and hallways are reminiscent of a school. The gymnasium is still a hub of activity. Athletic teams from nearby Tracy use the facility as an extra practice site, and it is an ideal place for a variety of community events, including weddings. But the Ralco company’s tru Shrimp Systems has converted the metal, wood and welding classrooms into a laboratory where research is being conducted to bring shrimp farming to the area. The former school library has been transformed into a Ralco office suite, and the industry is outgrowing the space. To get the full picture of a shrimp farm near Balaton, step into a time capsule and travel back to 1971. Bob Galbraith turned his garage into a warehouse to store animal feed which he sold under the Ralco trademark. Fast forward to 2016. Galbraith’s grandson, Brian Knochenmus, is president of Ralco while his father, Jon, is president emeritus and adviser. “Customer and consumer safety has always been and will remain at the forefront of decision making at Ralco,” said Brian Knochenmus. The family-owned business in Marshall works toward “enhancing the vitality of plants and animals for a safe and abundant global food supply.” Ralco’s products are distributed in over 30 countries. When the company wanted to expand into raising livestock, it looked to aquaculture so they wouldn’t be competRobert Gervais ing with customers. Land-based shrimp farming is the perfect fit. Robert Gervais is operations manager of tru Shrimp Systems, the division of Ralco which is gearing up to grow shrimp near Balaton. Tru Shrimp Systems conveys the concept of a genuine, clean, pure process for raising shrimp. “Our shrimp is a quality grade,” said Gervias. “There is no need to bread it.” Gervais noted much of the shrimp imported from around the world contains chemicals banned in the United States. Growing shrimp In August 2014, Gervais and the father/son Knochenmus team traveled to Texas A & M University to learn how to raise shrimp in an aquaculture setting. Addison Lawrence, now retired, had been the lead scientist in the university’s Mariculture Lab for Shrimp Research. In December that year, Ralco received the exclusive license in the United States

Old-fashioned Fourth C
elebrating our country’s independence on the Fourth of July is nothing new in Minnesota. But the folks in North Morristown have been doing it longer than anyone else. This year, the small band of volunteers will host the 124th annual July Fourth Celebration. Tucked away in the rolling pastures and fields of Rice County, North Morristown is a church, a school and a couple of houses. The church and school have quite a history of their own. Trinity Lutheran Church began conducting services in a log structure in the 1860s. A wood-frame church was built at the current site in 1888 and the school was erected 10 years later. Lightning struck the church steeple in March of 1938 and the structure burned to the ground. While the new (and current) church was being built, services took place in the school. “There was a lot of discussion about building the new church,” said Carl Krueger whose farm place is next door to the church. “Some wanted the new church to be just like the old one. But it was decided the new church would be a no-steeple church so it wouldn’t get struck again.” Trinity School is still operating today with 11 kindergarten through eighth-grade students. A library was built in 1974, connecting the church and the school. Across the road from Trinity is the grounds for the Fourth of July celebration. A handful of buildings and a small stage are surrounded by mature shade trees and lush grass. On July 4 this pastoral setting will be filled with literally thousands of revelers. Many of the 160 Trinity parishioners join together in producing the celebration along with neighbors, friends and folks who just want to help. The day kicks off with a Firecracker 5k run/walk and the parade gets underway at 10 a.m. Following the parade is a patriotic program. This year’s program salutes the Korean War veterans. Throughout the day there is music, food, volleyball and horseshoe tournaments, bingo and children’s rides. There will be a silent auction and buttons for sale. All the money raised during the day is used to help fund the Trinity school. Fireworks conclude the celebration at 10 p.m. For directions to North Morristown and more information, visit www.trinity.northmorristown.org. ❖
