For example, under the Senate language, large food companies have three options to label any GMO ingredients contained in their products. First, explains the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, the companies can place a “barcode or QR code” (a quick response code) on its food labels. Those codes however, “require consumers (to) use a smartphone to find more information about a product.” So no smart phone, no food info. That’s so dumb, it’s clever. Second, a company can use “a symbol on the package” to denote its contents are GMO. What symbol? The one “to be created by U.S. Department of Agriculture.” That shouldn’t take long, eh? Or, third, the food company can place “an actual on-package statement that the product contains GMOs.” A simple, uncomplicated label? Brilliant! Critics of the Senate bill quickly point out however, that most food companies will choose the first two, less transparent labeling loopholes for nonlabeling labels; and few, if any, would choose to openly label. The Food and Drug Administration also sees trouble in the Senate bill because it gives new food

Also, notes the FDA memo, “The definition of ‘bioengineering” used in the Senate bill “would be somewhat narrow” and likely mean that many foods from GE sources will not be subject to this bill…” That’s not an accident.

Rebates available for tractor roll bars, seatbelts

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Minnesota farmers now have access to a new program which makes tractor safety equipment more affordable and simple to order. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture kicked off its ROPS Rebate Program. The program reimburses farmers and schools at least 70 percent of the cost of purchasing, shipping, and installing a rollover protection kit — a roll bar and seatbelt — limiting applicants’ cost per tractor to no more than $500. It also provides help to farm-

ers with identifying and pricing the appropriate rollover kits for their tractors. According to U.S. Department of Labor statistics, tractor overturns remain the leading cause of farmer fatalities. Meanwhile roll bars and seat belts are 99 percent effective in preventing death and serious injury in the event of a rollover says New York Center for Agricultural Medicine and Health. “This new ROPS Rebate program will save lives

and reduce serious injuries in Minnesota as farmers step forward to participate in the program,” said Minnesota Agriculture Commissioner Dave Frederickson. The program is the result of a public private partnership with the state contributing $250,000 and private donations provided by Cargill, CHS, Inc., ADM, and Land O’Lakes. Call toll-free (877) 767-7748 for more information or to register for a rollover kit. This article was submitted by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. ❖

from the chemicals we used to use. Labeling is a very small problem in the whole scope of GMO. I've read that it is possible now for science to fertilize the eggs in a dish and check the DNA, allowing the end to a deadly or crippling inherited problem forever. To me what to do goes back to the Bill of Rights and the Ten Comandments. It's not the words or action that's important, it is the responsibility and respect with those words or actions.

OPINION

Letter: Young people need to vote To the Editor: Mr. Dick Hagen may be perfectly happy that Iowa’s Governor wants people to read the Bible every day until the Lord comes, which he wrote about in his “Land Minds” column published in the June 17 issue. I would suggest that the world may be better off without all the hell these Bible-thumpers have

brought to this earth if they held their breath until the Lord comes. One thing I do agree with Mr. Hagen on is, I hope our young people do turn out to vote. It’s perfectly obvious who would be president if they had their way. And it wouldn’t be some Bible-thumper. Tommy Stiles Henning, Minn.

To the Editor: Genetically modified organisms labeling, like most everything man comes up with, is half right and half wrong. That is what allows us to exist. It seems to be a good topic for the media and a good unsolvable topic for politics to talk about avoiding real life problems. I think I'm GMO as my dad was Swede and my mom was French. For some, the label would be important to avoid the food, and for others, it would be a blessing as some of the chemicals we used to use we no longer use or a lot less.

Cookbook honors our elders, traditional recipes Cookbook Corner

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent The New Richland Care Center in Minnesota opened its doors in 1975, and in 1981 the residents and staff put out a little red cookbook to “celebrate the traditions of the good ole days, which remain a strong part of this community”. Judy Tweeten provided custom artwork, and the result was a perfect small-town time capsule of what folks were “into” eating back then. Here’s a few favorites from the “New Richland Care Center Cookbook” rescued from North Mankato’s New 2 You Thrift Shop. ■ Midwestern coffee cakes helped power generations of farm folk and other hard toilers, and sweetened the coffee breaks of untold numbers of office workers. This recipe is “down pat” as they say. If you like yours with fruit, add it between layers. Baking Powder Coffee Cake Submitted by Norelle Wood 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup shortening 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 eggs, beaten 1 cup milk 2 cups flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt Topping: Mix together: 1 cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons flour

The Johnson clan gives four out of four ‘yums’ to Sour Cream White Sugar Cookies 1 teaspoon cinnamon 2 tablespoons melted butter 1/2 cup chopped walnuts Cream shortening, sugar and vanilla, then add eggs and beat thoroughly. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk. Spread half of batter in 9x13-inch pan. Cover with half of topping. Add remaining batter and cover with remaining topping. Bake at 350 F for 25 to 30 minutes. ■ Although the recipe for Deep Dish Chicken Pie calls for sautéing fresh veggies, as it says at the end, this is really a nice method to use up leftovers. So if you have leftover vegetables, by all means use them instead. But fresh veggies are quite nice as well. So either way is good. “We Wil Not Be l Under Sold!”

When tender, remove from heat and add: 4 cups cooked turkey or chicken (cubed) 2 cans cream of chicken soup 1 cup peas Pour into a 9x13-inch pan. Top with crust: Combine 3 cups Bisquick and enough milk to make a stiff dough. May roll out on floured board, or take small amount of dough at a time and flatten with hand. Place on top of chicken mixture. You may top crust with one beaten egg and 1 tablespoon water and sprinkle with 2-3 tablespoons of sesame

seeds. Bake at 375 F for 30 to 40 minutes or until crust is golden and filling bubbles. This recipe is a good way to use leftover chicken or turkey and vegetables. ■ Sour Cream Sugar Cookies will stay soft for a week, and they are beautiful decorated with frosted designs or simply some decorative sugar. We frosted them red with blue accents for the Fourth of July, and they were a big hit around parade time. This cookie is a good choice for Christmas, Easter, graduations, Thanksgiving, Halloween … Four out of four “yums” from the Johnson clan!

Mix sour cream and soda and let it set for a few minutes, then add it to first mixture. Add the eggs and vanilla, then add flour and salt. Chill dough. Roll out and sprinkle with sugar (or frost and decorate after baking). Bake 1012 minutes at 350 F.

Fourth of July reminds us to honor our heroes every day nation’s freedom or division and hate within our borders. But for those who have eyes to see the brokenness, we have a choice. And I can’t think of a better choice than to pray. If you’re looking for words to do just that, Michael Card’s song, “Heal Our Land” is a good place to begin. One stanza sings, “Unite our hearts in one accord and make us hungry for Your peace and burdened for the poor. And grant us hope that we might see, the future for the land, our life, our liberty.” It was with eyes to the future that our forefathers formed a new nation, pushed for independence, and put it in writing in the Declaration of Independence. It was with eyes to what can be

that individuals united in community to build schools and churches, and had each other’s backs. And it’s the long view still needed today. Fly your flag. Introduce your kids to veterans and dig into our country’s history together. Vote. Be fiercely loyal to community and pray. Pray as if our nation’s existence for this generation and the next depends on it. Because as real as the soil you’re standing on, it does.

Grain Outlook New contract lows in corn

Livestock Angles Market favors lower prices

Grain Angles Revenue Protection

The following marketing analysis is for the week ending July 8. CORN — New contract lows in the corn market were set this week as funds exited long positions when weather was not perceived to be a threat to the crop. Heat is forecasted to return in the last half of July and timely rains are also in the outlooks. Moisture over the past week has been beneficial and gave the crop and market some breathing room for anything unexpected. December corn may have left $4.00 in the rearview mirror for the balance of the summer, unless the water shuts PHYLLIS NYSTROM off and a ridge develops to trap CHS Hedging Inc. St. Paul high temperatures over the crop. The crash in prices shut off grower sales, but domestic basis levels have firmed. Conab, the government supply agency in Brazil, dropped its safrinha crop estimate from 50 million metric tons to 43 mmt! Conab’s total corn crop estimate fell to 69.14 mmt from 76.22 mmt. Conab’s number is based on yield reports from growers and is not survey-based. The U.S. Department of Agriculture last month was at 77.5 mmt. A news service’s survey showed expectations for first crop corn acreage in Brazil to increase 3.5 percent this fall, the first increase in five years. Safrinha acreage is forecasted to rise 7.5 percent, slightly higher than the five-year average. Weekly export sales, released a day late due to the Fourth of July holiday, were below expectations and the lowest since January at 14.6 million bushels for

It seems that nothing much has changed over the past several weeks in the livestock markets. Both the cattle and hogs struggle to maintain their current price levels but it appears the momentum is continuing to favor lower prices in the weeks ahead. For example, in the cattle market, prices had moved higher for a week again only to drop back the following week. A pattern which has been repeated several times this spring. This indicates the continuing struggle between supply and demand is still alive and well. The fact that more cattle will be available as we progress through the year does JOE TEALE not bode well from a supply point Broker of view. Great Plains Commodity Afton, Minn. The continued slow movement of beef is of great concern to the prospect of higher cattle prices into the fall months. For example, the week following the Fourth of July weekend, beef movement was extremely light considering this is a popular grilling weekend — indicating slow demand for beef products. Once again the competition for animal protein appears to follow the retail price of the product; which at this time favors the chicken, pork and turkey on a dollar per pound basis. Until this disparity in price between the competitive meats is resolved, it would suggest that cattle prices will be hard to maintain any significant long-term rallies in price. Producers are recommended to monitor market conditions and protect inventories when available. The hog market now appears to be in the process of

The June 30 U.S. Department of Agriculture supply-demand reports, acreage reports and weekly crop progress reports certainly build a case for plentiful supplies of new crop corn. The USDA raised its planted acres of corn estimates to 94.1 million acres and increased the supply of old crop corn to nearly 200 million bushels more than expected. The weekly crop ratings also show very few reasons to be bullish on corn at this time. The market has been looking at improving weather forecasts and has punished the corn price since mid-June — inflicting a nearly 20 percent drop. Soybean increased to 83.7 mil- GLENN WACHTLER lion acres, which is slightly less AgStar Assistant VP — Financial Services than the trade expected. The Baldwin, Wis. quarterly stocks, similar to corn, showed an increase of nearly 36 million bushels. Soybean volatility continues as the trade weighs fundamental news, bullish enthusiasm from currency fluctuations and La Niña-related weather concerns from the United States and South America. New Crop Corn December corn futures prices recently have been 5 to 10 percent lower than our established spring crop insurance price in the upper Midwest. Different strategies for hedging are needed, depending on where you believe the outcome of your final yield will be. The spring price was set at $3.85 per bushel under the revenue protection plan of the multi-peril crop insurance policy. For producers with high levels of crop coverage and average or below average yields, they are approaching this guaranteed revenue. In

Shipments of late have only been enough to assume we’ll meet the USDA projection. New crop commitments now total 279.2 million bushels compared to 233.1 million last year. OUTLOOK: The fall from grace in soybeans has been spectacular. From the high of $11.86.5 on June 13 to this week’s low of $10.21, November soybeans lost $1.65.25 per bushel. The gap left from July 1 to July 5 from $11.36.25 to $11.20 will act as resistance. First support is the 10-day moving average which coincides with psychological support at $10.00 per bushel. This week, November soybeans were down 79.75 cents to settle at $10.57.75 per bushel. The June National Oilseed Processors Association crush report will be released July 15.

per bushel, the recent low on the continuous chart. For the week, September corn fell a nickel to $3.55 per bushels and the December contract declined 4.5 cents to close at $3.62.5 per bushel. To sum up the market, watch the weather forecasts for price direction. SOYBEANS — The soybean market collapsed this week without an overhanging weather threat and fund selling ensued. Last week’s stocks and acreage report had been perceived as slightly friendly since the numbers were slightly different than trade expectations, and the market rallied. As reality set in and the numbers were reviewed, it could be that perception was reconsidered. In post-holiday trading, meal closed limit down, which meant the entire soy complex had expanded limits on July 6. The expanded limits went untested. We will see how the market reacts when the July balance sheets are released on July 12. The average estimate for 2015-16 ending stocks is 357 million bushels vs. 370 million last month; 2016-17 ending stocks at 295 million bushels compared to 260 million on last month’s report. The trade estimate for this year’s crop is 3.876 billion bushels using a 46.75 bushels per acre yield. As of July 3, beans were rated 70 percent good/excellent. While down 2 percent for the week, it was still the second highest rating in 13 years for this week. Weekly export sales were at the upper end of prereport estimates with 23.4 million bushels of old crop sales and 21.5 million bushels for new crop. Old crop total commitments at 1.995 billion bushels are well above the USDA’s 1.76 billion bushel projection. However, outstanding old crop soybean sales are 366 million bushels, an obscene amount with only nine

NYSTROM, from pg. 8 old crop and 17.5 million bushels for new crop. Total sales commitments for old crop are 1.86 billion bushels, which is above the USDA’s forecast for 1.825 billion bushels. Keep in mind it is normal for some old crop sales to get pushed into new crop. Total commitments for new crop are 216 million bushels compared to 126.7 million on the books last year at this time. Weekly ethanol production tumbled 19,000 barrels per day to 984,000 bpd, but stocks grew by 400,000 barrels to 21.6 million barrels. Since the beginning of the marketing year, annualized corn grind has been 5.190 billion bushels. The USDA is predicting 5.25 billion bushels. We may not see the USDA reduce the ethanol line on the July report, but it looks like it should be. The ending stocks trade estimates for the July 12 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report: 2015-16 1.807 billion bushels vs. 1.708 billion last month and 2016-17 at 2.213 billion bushels vs. 2.008 billion estimated last month. The pre-report trade estimate for 2016 production is 14.523 billion bushels using a yield of 168 bushels per acre. Corn this year is off to a great start. As of July 3, it has maintained its 75 percent good/excellent rating for five weeks in a row. This is the second best rating in the last 12 years for this time in the growing season. OUTLOOK: December corn has collapsed from its recent high on June 17 at $4.49 to this week’s new contract low of $3.46 per bushel, a $1.03 decline in 12 trading sessions. The bottom of the gap left when traders returned from watching the fireworks at $3.65.75 will act as resistance. Next support lies at the contract low at $3.46 with next support at $3.33

*Price level at Insurance assumes harvesting a crop equal to individual’s 10-year average APH (actual production history for the MPCI revenue protection plan) The trade will be watching weather closely as August approaches, which is regarded as the “make or break” month for U.S. soybean yields. Prices for soybeans are nearing $2 above our spring crop insurance price of $8.86 per bushel. Producers with crop insurance losses may receive a higher fall price for

those insurable bushels lost, but realistically, the insurance is not providing a strong safety net based on price alone. Look for basis opportunities or use small price rallies to lock in new crop cash sales as the trade is waiting to assess the new crop yields. Small fluctuations in final yield may lead to relatively large swings in price. At this point, it will be very difficult to out-guess the market. Being neither right nor wrong about the upcoming market means a hedger should have a significant portion of new crop soybeans sold as we approach August. Always remember to make the best use of your revenue protection plan when marketing. Current hedging opportunities will mean you should never have to take less than the total crop insurance guarantee for your farm. For more insights from AgStar experts, visit AgStarEdge.com.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

WACHTLER, from pg. 8 this case, a flexible marketing plan that allows for lifting hedges below the insurance guarantee may be preferable to aggressive cash sales. For producers who are anticipating a very large crop on their farm, or have a lower insurance level, there is still some work to be done in order to hedge your price. Options strategies may work and still lead to some up-side potential and a chance to be profitable. Cash forward contracts can reduce the risk of lower prices and widening basis in areas where large yields are common. Be sure to keep in mind your insurance guarantee and your potential yield in the field when making your decisions. There may be an opportunity to lock in some of the gains from options, if prices turn lower than your crop insurance guarantee. New Crop Soybeans Soybean prices have surprised almost everyone this marketing year. Higher prices were needed to encourage producers to plant acres. South American yield concerns, currency fluctuations and the threat of La Niña add to the volatility in soybeans. Local soybean prices for the October new crop are generally above break-even levels with average yields.

Enrollment open for Margin Protection Program 2017 The following marketing analysis is for the week ending July 8. The National Milk Producers Federation updated its Margin Protection Program website. Dairy producers may visit www.futurefordairy.com for new materials to assist them in considering enrollment in the third year of the federal dairy safety net program. The enrollment period officially opened July 1 and ends Sept. 30, 2016, for coverage in calendar year 2017. Farmers already participating in the program can also change their coverage level during this three-month window. The MPP provides financial assistance to participating producers when the margin, the difference between the price of milk and feed costs, falls below a coverage level selected by the producer. Dairy farmers can insure their farms on a sliding scale between $4 and $8 per hundredweight, deciding both how much of their production history to cover, and the level of margin to protect. The program, created in the 2014 farm bill, “offers more extensive coverage for low-margin condi-

Several manufacturers took advantage of the holiday weekend and brought in additional milk. Those not looking to fill schedules are seeing a drop in milk production for their contracted loads, but still feel milk intakes are sufficient for the level of production they are at. Dairy Market News adds that components are beginning to drop as temperatures and humidity rise; but processors have yet to see a change in yields. Some cheese manufacturers were “optimistic this week, showing less reservation about running full production schedules. This may be attributed to reports of growing sales following the holiday weekend. Numerous manufacturers report increased calls from buyers seeking additional loads of cheese. However, a few of these producers do not have the additional cheese stocks to sell and are having to turn down potential sales.” Other participants continue to manage long inventories of aged cheese varieties, according to Dairy Market News, and cheese curd sales are seeing seasonal growth in sales. Milk in the west region remains plentiful, keeping cheese production stable and strong, according to Dairy Market News. “The current cheese level in cold storage continues to be heavy. Inventories are mixed. Some manufacturers lowered stocks when market prices were lower. However, available storage See MIELKE, pg. 11

Ongoing concerns over recent heat impacting cow comfort and milk production remain supportive.â€? The Margin Watch adds that USDA released the Quarterly Grain Stocks and June acreage reports at the end of the month. â€œBoth figures were considered very bearish for corn.

Dairy Market News adds that â€œThe decent demand for fresh commodity cheese from buyers is making it economically feasible to keep production stable. There is good domestic demand for readily consumable cheese. Prices have increased heading into the third quarter, and some producers are assuming the domestic demand will hold and carry on into the fall season. Foreign inquiries are weak as the value of the U.S. dollar grows, making cheese exports less attractive.â€? â– Cash butter headed south this week, closing July 8 at $2.2825 per pound. This is down 6.75 cents on the week, but still 36.25 cents above a year ago. Only one carload traded hands on the week at the CME. Midwest butter production varied this week, according to Dairy Market News. â€œSeveral manufacturers chose to capitalize on more readily-available cream over the holiday weekend and kept their churns running full schedules through the weekend. A few producers running full schedules report the desire to slow production some, but are not in the position to do so based on current cream intakes. Butter manufacturers are taking into consideration what they anticipate to be a strong decrease in cream availability in the upcoming weeks when planning their churn production schedules.â€? Butter sales were steady this week, says Dairy Market News, as manufacturers and brokers report consistent calls from buyers. However, they express light interest in moving butter in the current market. Many inventories in the central region are reportedly already spoken for. Those with inventories not currently committed are confident in their ability to move butter in the upcoming months. Demand for fresh bulk butter is high, but supply is tight and offers from sellers are rare.â€?

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 July 7 Some much needed rain arrived on July 6, while it brought some “strong winds, it was nothing too terrible,” said Kent Moser. The Land spoke with Moser on July 7 as he estimated that between a half-inch to an inch of rain fell. The storm caused some of the corn to lean, though that's something Moser is “not worried about.” According to Moser, the timing of the rain was perfect. Before the rain came: “It's been warm and dry in the last two weeks,” Moser reported. That allowed Moser to get a lot of side dressing of corn done. Moser is experimenting with late season side dressing. The corn “has really shot out ahead of normal.” A few fields are tasseled out, with most corn shoulder to head high. Moser has finished spraying soybeans. He sprayed his last field last week and said the beans “look excellent.” Overall, the crops “still have to contend with unevenness,” he said. In terms of weed control: “There's been the usual battles with waterhemp and marestail,” Moser said. With the rain giving the crops the moisture they needed, Moser said “Stuff looks good.”

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. July 7 “Last night that thunder was unbelievable — better than any Fourth of July stuff,”said John Nielsen. The Land spoke with Nielsen on July 7 as he reported that the storm caused minimal damage, mainly a few downed branches. With one more night of severe weather in the forecast for the week, July so far continues to be “warm and wet,” he said. The soybeans seem to be enjoying the weather as they currently are “as pretty as they can be,” reported Nielsen. The plants are starting to bloom and are “very close to closing the rows.” Nielsen said that the corn has “really improved.” It's “on the verge of tasseling” and has “good dark green color.” The crop has taken off as Nielsen said it's now “2 to 3 feet above your head." In Nielsen's seed business, he's “got most of the returns done.” He can cross hauling corn off his to-do list: “I got corn hauled last week.” Nielsen has started preparations for the Freeborn Fair which begins Aug. 2. He has the Hog Johns pork chop stand that he calls a “family-neighbor affair.” The stand, which Nielsen has run for at least 10 years, is “a lot of work and a lot of fun.” He's also getting livestock ready for the fair. “Quite a few pigs go there for my grandkids and neighbors,” he said. It's been a busy summer so far for Nielsen and with the fair right around the corner, it doesn't seem like it will be slowing down anytime soon. The crops don't seem to be slowing down either, which is making Nielsen a very satisfied producer. The crops are “next to being excellent,” he said.

Are biologicals next big step in U.S. agriculture?

CALL NOW TO SCHEDULE

— Bob Streit Q: Are U.S. Department of Agriculture and Environmental Protection Agency policies encouraging the continued growth of biological pest management for American agriculture? Streit: Yes. If a new herbicide or pesticide comes along and it is biologically-based, EPA will ‘fast track’ that development. So much so, that if the company with the new product asks for a label on three crops, EPA might grant a label for 20 crops. That’s how much EPA and USDA are on board in getting these new strategies into American crop production. And that is basically because these new products present little or no challenge to the environment and the soils which grow our crops. Part of the current problem is we don’t have enough scientists and university researchers working in this area partly because these are not high profile projects. That means they don’t generate as much grant money. And the reality is, that grant money is absolutely needed to fund some of these projects. ❖

farming from Europe to Brazil. I asked him if Malthus would eventually be proven correct. The Malthus theory was simply that world population would eventually exceed world food production. He said ‘Yes, most definitely, unless we find some new formulas for getting much more production from each parcel of land.’ Jerry Hatfield, former head of the USDA Soil Tilth Center, says ‘Traits are nice, traits are fancy; but if we’re going to feed this world in the future it’s because we finally decided to pay much more attention to the soil.’ That means making our soils considerably richer in biological activity while also increasing the organic matter and CEC (carbon equivalent capacity) so the soils hold more of the moisture that falls early in the season until it is needed later in the summer. Q: Might these biological products make our crops more efficient during hot, dry seasons? Streit: There’s only one piece of research so far on that question. That was done in Dr. Bob Kremer’s lab, University of Missouri (also USDA) by a postgraduate Ph.D student (Zobiole who now lives in Brazil). Dr. Zobiole, in lab work, found that certain traits bred into corn hybrids actually double the rate of water usage by the plant. And when we’re working on better water utilization by our corn hybrids, that’s absolutely the wrong direction. Unfortunately, virtually all university researchers are ‘forbidden’ to test that sort of question. Why? Because it might reflect badly on some of the genetic engineering traits already bred into the system. Q: Because corn and wheat are major food crops worldwide, are they best suited for the adoption of biological strategies? Streit: Yes, most logically because that is where most of the work has been done so far. Cost-effective and measurable results are key to acceptance. And this is what’s happening. The Missouri soybean farmer getting 160-bushel yields uses a host of different inputs, different strategies. Timely application of certain biological products are part of his success. These new products coming out will definitely be huge in significant yield increases down the road. I’m talking biologically-based hormonal products that will trigger biological response in the targeted crop. Biological science will become increasingly important in feeding the world; maybe even more so than genetic and trait engineering.

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Bob Streit, an independent consultant in Ames, Iowa, spent 20 years as a seed industry regional agronomist. He addresses biological pest management products in a Q & A with The Land. Q: What’s driving this strong interest in biological pest management? Streit: I think we have a lot more maturity in the companies getting involved in this field. Because we’re seeing some significant and economic benefits from these products, we’re suddenly getting more mainstream buy-in by some university people — especially from those forward-thinking researchers who are willing to think outside the box. They’re realizing these are not hocus pocus products. They actually do work and they have a scientific background in their development. Q: Are American farmers quick to pick up on these new technologies? Streit: Anything but! In other countries, notably Brazil and Argentina, farmers are way ahead of us on the adoption of biological pest management strategies. Why? I see them as more intense producers. Their agronomists perhaps are also better trained in this area because their teachers and professors do more hands-on teaching. They’re much more in the field, working with farmers and product specialists rather than sitting behind their desks. Also, our South American farmers are much more willing to scout their fields and visually spot the adjustments to make in their management practices. I put out a plot in early July with a northern Iowa producer for a Belgium micronutrient firm. This farmer has a direct injection, twin-tank Hagie highclearance sprayer. He also has two Brazilian agronomists working for him this cropping season. These two cannot believe that U.S. farmers do not get out into their fields inspecting on a weekly basis; even more frequently if field conditions demand. In Brazil, farmers and agronomists are in their fields until 7 o’clock Saturday night! They’re much more willing to jump off their tractors, dig in their soils and actually figure out what is making their crop grow either good or bad. Q: Do biological pest management strategies need to be adopted worldwide to feed 9 billion people by 2050? Streit: I recently sat with a guy who took no-till

Weed or not, mulberries enjoyed by man, beast By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent REDWOOD COUNTY, Minn. — If a weed is a plant that grows prolifically where it hasn’t been planted, and resists being controlled like a tenacious 2 year old, then the white mulberry tree lives up to its “reputation as a weed,” as described by the University of Minnesota Extension website. But if you enjoy the fruit as much as Harvey and Marlene Pedersen do, it’s a weed you can tolerate. When Harvey retired as a full-time parish pastor (though you wouldn’t know that from his preaching schedule), the couple moved to Marlene’s childhood homeplace. She recalls that when she was in high school, they picked berries from a tree a half-mile away. Not anymore. The windbreaks on the north and west sides of the farmsite have rows of mulberry trees.

ADM opens new feed mill to meet demand for livestock feed

THE LAND, JULY 15, 2016

As food needs keep increasing and new foods keep appearing, it’s a given we’ll be doing several totally new feeds in the future. — Lyle Highland “We added a lot more capacity in bulk bins because bulk handling is the direction of the industry, driven mostly by what our customers want,” said Highland. Spend a little time at the facility and you get an idea of efficiency in this new mill. Highland claims it can do 15 bags of feed per minute or 900 bags per hour. Outside of monitoring the electronic functions of this new plant, hand labor is virtually non-existent. Robots and mechanics were installed by Bratney Companies, who are long-time innovators in feed handling systems headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa. “A state-of-the-art robotic system quickly moves each bag from conveyor onto stacking pellets,” Highland explained. “We program the robot for multiple stack configurations. It’s an amazing system — definitely on the cutting edge of packaging.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration visits on occasion, generally unannounced. The inspections are part and parcel of the feed industry. Occupational Safety and Health Administration requirements are strictly enforced. “Safety and quality are paramount with ADM,” Highland said. ❖

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer GLENCOE, Minn. — Archer Daniels Midland has been around since 1902, a major player in the development of the U.S. ethanol industry in the 1990s, employing 32,300 employees in 160 countries. With 280 plants and 39 innovation centers, ADM caters to the food and feed business worldwide. On a local level, ADM hosted an open house event at its new animal nutrition facility in Glencoe on June 1. Farmers call these facilities a feed mill. The old feed mill was built in 1948. With a production capacity of 100,000 tons per year, this high-tech mill is geared for the future. That’s a four-fold increase! Plant Manager Lyle Highland, is going on 26 years at this Glencoe facility. “At this facility we’re now up to 250 to 300 different formulas and it grows every year,” he said. “You name it; we make it.” Highland said the plant provides feed for swine, dairy, beef, horses, and poultry. But also on the menu is game-bird feed, deer and elk feed, bear feed, wax worm feed, llama, sheep, rabbits, goats, and more. But this wax worm feed needs an explanation. “This is the worm for fishermen,” Highland explained. “We have a couple of producers who specialize in raising wax worms.” Swine is the No. 1 feed product at this facility. Feed from the plant travels to Wisconsin, North and South Dakota, northern Iowa and all of Minnesota. He said 21 bulk ingredients are used in the 250plus formulas. Soybeans, corn and wheat are the big three ingredients. But bakery byproducts, Red Dog wheat and flax seed meal from South Dakota are some of the newer ingredients. ADM feeds get sold direct by salesmen who call on livestock producers and dealers the five-state area. The sales force also are ADM marketers. The Glencoe facility operates its own truck fleet so all products are delivered direct to customers and dealers. Highland operates the Glencoe facility with 16 hourly workers and seven salaried employees. Due to efficiency and plant improvements, that same work force will handle the stepped-up production. As marketing demands, there may be staff additions. Highland, a 1983 graduate from the University of Minnesota with an agronomy-soil science major, first worked with International Multi-Foods and its Super Sweet feeds. Due to consolidations in the feed industry, AGP and Consolidated Nutrition was his next company until ADM purchased AGP in the early 2000s. “I’ve been in the feed business for 32 years,” Highland said. “It’s a constantly changing industry. As food needs keep increasing and new foods keep appearing, it’s a given we’ll be doing several totally new feeds in the future.” Currently, the plant offers 50 percent bulk and 50 percent bagged feeds.

Schmoll’s sweet corn business is in good hands By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer OLIVIA, Minn. — After 28 years of providing sweet corn to hundreds of families within a 50-mile radius of Olivia, Tony and Connie Schmoll are passing the reins to a new generation of sweet corn providers. Accepting the challenge are Bird Island area farmers Keith and Sara McNamara and their two children, Jerson, 13, and Juliana, 11. “This is a huge undertaking for us. But it’s a business venture that’s been in my mind for several years. To have this unique opportunity to take over from Tony and Connie is really the best of both worlds,” said Keith. “Schmoll’s Sweetcorn is legendary. The market they have established is legendary too. Once consumers identify with a certain provider, Tony tells me they are incredibly loyal customers.” So too were the young people wanting to become part of the sweet corn family each season. “Those first years we had to do some talking to get helpers with the picking and the selling. But soon they were calling me, or stopping at the farm, or even sending a text message saying we want to work for you,” said Tony. The sweet corn harvest is hard work, especially when humidity, bugs and muddy fields are on tap. Each and every ear of sweet corn is hand-harvested. Workers walk the rows of sweet corn, snapping off each ear from the sweet corn plant into a bucket which is then gently dumped into a trailer or pickup or flatbed. When the vehicle is filled, it is on the road to a Schmoll marketing location — a roadside stop in any of four communities. The familiar orange Schmoll marker helps sweet corn buyers find their favorite summer delicacy. So what can sweet corn lovers expect this season?

Jerson (left) and Juliana (right) McNamara are ready for business. “About the only change is our new sign,” Sara said. “Ours says, Green Leaf Sweet Corn with three bright, beautiful ears of sweet corn. Plus, that wellknown Schmoll orange decal is part of our sign. Blending the old image with the new image we think will work perfectly.” The McNamaras will be marketing in the same communities that nourished the Schmoll enterprise: Olivia, Redwood Falls, Spicer and Willmar. Events such as Olivia Corn Capital Days are a boost. The event feeds over 2,000 people. A number of private and corporate picnics now feature fresh sweet corn. Roots Tony Schmoll, age 62, is ready for this transition. He’s had a pestering back problem. Being a sweet corn farmer is not good therapy with the bending, lifting, twisting and turning that’s part of harvest. But he eagerly shared memories and sweet rewards. All four of the Schmoll children are college graduates. The couple estimates at least 40 of their young workers went on to become college graduates with part of their education paid with money earned in

sweet corn. An elderly Spicer man came every day to buy from the kids. He bought a dozen ears and left a dollar tip for their college fund. Schmoll’s sweet corn farming started on a small patch of ground in a grove that didn’t grow much of anything. Connie had the idea of planting sweet corn in this one-acre patch. When the sweet corn was ready their kids would pick a few dozen and take it to the edge of Highway 71 to sell. “They would sell maybe six to 10 dozen ears of corn a day; and 20 to 30 dozen a day on Friday and Saturday. That was a big deal for our kids at $2 a dozen,” said Tony. “But with sweet corn, location is everything. “We could see people really liked our corn, so we moved to a Dairy Queen in Spicer. That was phenomenal — 80 dozen a day was common. The Franzens, who owned the DQ, knew how to market. They advised us on how and where to display our corn, what size sign we’d need, and putting ‘Olivia Grown’ because people preferred buying local grown rather than sweet corn imported from southern states. They even suggested where to park our vehicle — an older, rusty Suburban.” That Suburban was backed down the rows as the kids did the harvesting. It held 75 dozen ears of corn. Then it traveled the 40 miles from field to Spicer. But that old rig did the job, even with a few large signs blocking the view. Soon the Schmolls graduated to a pickup and trailer for harvest and delivery. Now they were up to 250-350 dozen a day! Kids were loving it, even though it meant getting up early and walking the field by 6 a.m. Transition The Schmolls used four to five varieties of sweet corn, but about 75 percent is “peaches and cream” variety. Virtually all 26 acres of sweet corn the McNamaras are selling this first year is on ground farmed by Schmoll. They vary planting dates to help assure a longer harvest and selling season. Keith predicts a July 15 date of first harvest while Sara thinks it could be a couple days earlier. The Schmolls averaged eight to 12 pickers and sellers a day. The McNamaras already have a harvesting crew of 12. “Giving kids new opportunities is the next step in their lives,” said Keith. “We’re expecting this will help finance college for our kids and a few others, just like it did for the Schmoll family.” Their son, 13 year-old Jerson, said it will be a learning experience. “I know I will learn a lot more about interacting with others,” said Jerson. “My mom has reminded me that a big smile and a generous ‘thank you’ is perhaps the biggest part of selling sweet corn.” And the baker’s dozen will continue. “This new venture very definitely fits the numberone objective in my business thinking — growing and selling a real product directly into the consumer market,” said Keith. “I don’t believe in just growing and selling everything into the bulk market. Sweet corn is a perfect example of one-on-one merchandising.” Keith and Sara McNamara at Green Leaf Sweet Corn can be reached at (320) 365-4498. ❖

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

ive a talented quilter a few fat quarters of fabric and a challenge to create something original and you have a quilting challenge. That’s one of the many activities that the Quilts Along the Trail planning committee is organizing for quilters in preparation for its 2016 quilt extravaganza to be held in Osakis, Minn., on Sept. 10. “Each fat quarter pack of fabric is the same,” said Carol Mihalchick, an event organizer and cofounder of the 13-year-old Quilts Along the Trail said. “It’s wonderful to see the different designs that people come up with.” If you’re up for a quilting challenge, you can purchase your own fat quarter pack for $6 from the QAT store in Osakis in the lower level of Just Like Grandma’s Bed and Breakfast. You’ve got until Sept. 9 to enter your creation. Quilts Along the Trail, which will have hundreds of quilts on display along the Central Lakes bicycle

trail, will have a special display devoted to the Challenge Quilts. They will also have a section dedicated to quilts made from various patterns such as the Log Cabin, Basket, or Christmas Tree. There will also be a section for old quilts as well as Quilts of Valor. Quilts of Valor are made by volunteers and donated to military service members who have been affected by war. The Quilts Along the Trail planning committee is also bringing back the popular bed-turning demonstration this year. “Quilts always have a story to go with them,“ Mihalchick said. “At the bed-turning, the quilters will tell the stories behind some of the quilts.” Quilts Along the Trail is a great place for quilters

to go to learn from other quilters. But the colorful display is for non-quilters as well. “Quilting is an art and the quilt show is like going to a big art show,” Mihalchick said. “You don’t have to be an artist to enjoy beautiful art.” Walking along the bicycle trail with a fresh breeze off Lake Osakis, the September sun warming your back, the smell of food booths in the distance, and a rainbow of colored quilts for your eyes to feast on can be appreciated by those who might not even be inclined to go to a conventional art show. Quilts Along the Trail will be held in conjunction with Panther Distillery’s Moonshine Madness festival. Quilts Along the Trail has a Facebook site at facebook.com/Quilts-Along-the-Trail. ❖
