your name right. Another e-mailer, Kevin, sent this mixed review in mid-March: “Love your stories like the one I read on your friend Marvin. Hate the political stuff you do!!” Well, being right three or four columns out 52 each year ain’t bad. In fact, eagle-eyed readers have already noted that ratio. Three, maybe four times a year I use this space to revisit some aspect of living and learning on the “southern Illinois dairy farm of my youth.” Many of those previous efforts can be found in the small book my daughter, Mary Grace Foxwell, and I put together a year ago. One story not in the book however, is the one Kevin felt compelled to comment on. It was a short tribute I wrote in March to my best schoolboy friend, Marvin, who had died six weeks earlier. Few of the now 23 years of “southern Illinois” columns generated as much mail as that simple remembrance of my wide-eyed weekend on Marvin’s home farm. “Thank you for the memory of your childhood friend, Marvin,” e-mailed Phil. “Your column left me sobbing as my own memories flooded back. I am a 65 yr. old construction worker.”
“Boy, oh, boy, that’s a good story,” wrote Charlie from California. “It brought tears to my eyes.” “I have enjoyed your column for a long time,” e-mailed Paul from Iowa, “but today’s journey down memory lane really hit home. I too (had a) best friend like your friend Marvin ... He’s been gone 11 years now…” You can no more replace a childhood memory than you can replace a childhood friend. You can however, help a youngster. Evan, a high school junior in Texas, e-mailed to ask if I might give him some long distance help with a project for his technical writing class. I did. Two months later, Evan e-mailed to “again thank you for the help… I did exceedingly well on the project. I also used some your statistics in a speech for my FFA officer elections and I am now the 2016-2017 Sentinel for my FFA chapter.” Great, Evan — keep climbing. And please, keep writing. Because everything takes a backseat to your mail. The Farm and Food File is published weekly through the United States and Canada.

Enroll at FSA by Aug. 1 Aug. 1 is the final date to enroll in the 2016 farm program at local FSA offices. Farm operators must enroll in the farm program each year to be eligible for farm program payments for that crop year. Aug. 1 is also the deadline for farm operators to combine or separate farm units, or to make changes in their FSA administrative county for the 2016 crop year.
Failure to enroll in the 2016 farm program could lead to farm operators being ineligible for potential 2016 farm program payments. For more on 2016 farm program enrollment or payments, contact a local FSA office, or visit www.fsa.usda.gov.

Letter: Labeling small problem in big picture of genetic engineering 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. That ends the reaction some get
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.

Letter: Young people must 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 24 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.

Roll bar rebates now available 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 farmers 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. ❖

throat when fireworks light up the sky to the sounds of “The Star-spangled Banner,” “America the Beautiful,” and “God Bless America.” We see color guard walking in precision and pride. We meet American heroes and our hearts swell with gratitude for freedom and this great land. And other times we are clueless. For some, this Fourth of July was nothing more than a party day and an extended weekend from the workplace. And yet men and women on our soil and across the ocean still have our backs. Regardless of the support military personnel may or may not receive, they are willing to lay down their lives so others can have life in this land. We don’t have to search long or far to see apathy and indifference toward our 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.

And as they shared slivers of their vast experiences, I was washed fresh with gratitude for our service men, women, and their families. They sacrificed much. Some gave all. The sights, sounds and smells of war are woven into the fabric of their life and memories. Part of their service was routine, even mundane. Other segments were too hard to put to words, and even if they could, they may still choose silence.

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
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! Sour Cream White Sugar Cookies Submitted by Jane Crowe 2 cups sugar 1 cup butter 1 cup sour cream 2 teaspoons baking soda 2 eggs (slightly beaten) 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 5 cups flour 1/4 teaspoon salt Decorating sugar Cream sugar and butter. 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 10-12 minutes at 350 F. If your community group or church organization has printed a cookbook and would like to have it reviewed in the “Cookbook Corner,” send us a copy to “Cookbook Corner,” The Land, P.O. Box 3169, Mankato, MN 56002. Please specify if you wish to have the cookbook returned, and include information on how readers may obtain a copy of the cookbook. Submission does not guarantee a review. ❖
The Johnson clan gives four out of four ‘yums’ to Sour Cream White Sugar Cookies 2 cups flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt Topping: Mix together: 1 cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons flour 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. Deep Dish Chicken Pie Submitted by Renae Berg 1 cup chopped carrots 1 cup chopped onion 1 cup chopped celery 1 cup chopped green pepper 1/2 cup pimiento (optional) Sauté vegetables in 4 tablespoons butter on low heat in a covered pan. 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
Hydrangea blooms change colors spring, summer, fall used a commercial potting soil for the top 12 inches of the can.

Fire and Ice Hydrangea will never cease to be an amazing shrub that has chameleon-like abilities to change color every few weeks. In early spring the blooms begin as a creamy white color and the first flowers are similar to large white four-leaved clovers. They start to turn into pink blossoms toward the middle of summer IN THE GARDEN and the entire plant looks like By Sharon Quale cotton candy. Beginning in the late days of summer and into the fall, the inflorescence will magically change and burst into shades of magenta and burgundy. These colorful panicles can be cut, hung upside down to dry and used in dried floral arrangements. We have two Fire and Ice Hydrangeas and can attest to their exquisite beauty and ease of cultivation. They are 12 years old now and have grown to a height of 5 feet and a horizontal spread of about 4 feet. They will tolerate the cold as well as the hottest and most humid temperatures of the season. Partial shade is where they will do their best and if grown in full sun they will require more watering. Pruning panicle hydrangeas is easy. You can choose to let the attractive flower heads remain through the winter and snip them off in early spring. Other pruning can be done in early spring if you wish to shape the shrub a certain way or if you need to control the size. Severely pruning one third of the stems one year, one third the next year and one third the following year will allow you to control the size without resorting to the method of cutting it all back to about 4 inches from the ground. (That method of ground level pruning will rejuvenate shrubs but takes several growing seasons before they look attractive again.) The number of hydrangeas available for purchase has increased dramatically these past 10 years. There are mop heads, dwarfs, panicle, tree forms and ones that can blossom with a true blue color by adjusting the pH of the soil they are growing in. Other colors range from white to palest cream, pink, chartreuse and deep burgundy. Hydrangeas can be used as hedges, as a background border in a garden or for an individual specimen in a yard. Cut flowers can last for weeks indoors. A few choice panicles in a vase make a lovely table centerpiece as well as a peaceful sight to behold resting on a nightstand by the bed. ■ Readers ask, “What do you recommend using to fill old cream cans when using them for planters?” I filled mine with garden soil mixed with compost and

Are biologicals next big step in U.S. agriculture? 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: Are biological pest management strategies needing to be adopted worldwide to feed 9 billion people by 2050? Streit: I recently sat with a guy who took no-till 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 and 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 post-graduate 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. Q: Are current 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. ❖
Weed or not, mulberries enjoyed by man, beast
THE LAND, JULY 22, 2016 Photos by Richard Siemers
Harvey and Marlene Pedersen
“We like having the birds around,” Marlene said. They also like mulberry jam and the sweet treats she uses them in. The season for picking mulberries is short, and they don’t have a long shelf life. Marlene picks and freezes them right away. She simply picks them over, puts them in a plastic bag and places them in the freezer. Marlene has her own way of picking. “They say to put down a white sheet and shake the tree,” she said, “but then you get sticks and ticks and every kind of bug you can imagine. You have to go through and sort them out.” She finds it more convenient to pick them one at a time — leaving sticks, bugs and unusable berries behind. She uses a large pan she calls the “popcorn pan.”
“Mother would pop popcorn and bring it in the big pan to our country school as a treat.” Marlene said. The pan has two handles. She has tied a cord through those handles and hangs the pan around her neck, leaving both hands free to pick. Their many trees produce way more berries than they can use so there are plenty to go around for the birds. Skunks and raccoons eat those that fall to the ground. When deer nibble the ends of branches and hinder their growth, it still doesn’t cut into the abundance. So maybe there is something to be said for having a weed which produces a luscious fruit. It means there is enough to share with wildlife and you don’t have to keep telling the kids to stay out of the cookie jar. Marlene said neighboring mothers often know what their kids have been up to without asking. They come in with wide mulberry grins. ❖

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. They need walk only to the edge of the yard to munch on berries or gather them for the kitchen. The Pedersens aren’t the only ones with mulberries in this area south of Walnut Grove and Lamberton. Go to a church potluck and there will be plenty of fruit pies and coffee cakes with mulberries. They are so prolific that some farmers try to get rid of them, “especially in fence lines,” Harvey said. Marlene said that a farmer told them about an expensive spray that will get rid of them. They haven’t tried it. “We have eliminated several trees,” Harvey said, “when they’re in key positions like fence corners. But it’s quite a job to get rid of them because they grow up so quickly. They send shoots back up out of the roots and pretty soon there’s a big bush. You have to cut them year after year, and about the fourth year they give up.” They aren’t interested in eliminating all of them.

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.

FOLLOWING THE 2016 GROWING SEASON
<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>
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.”
THE LAND, JULY 22, 2016
Joan Lee, McIntosh, Minn. July 14 Two weeks ago, Joan Lee’s crops were in need of a little moisture. Mother Nature must’ve been listening. The Land spoke with Lee on July 14 and it was “wet, right now.” For the month of July, two and a half inches of rain has fallen so far. The temperature has also fallen – its “cooler – mid 60s.” The corn has “started to take off quite a bit.” It’s “starting to tassel in some places.” There’s more soybeans left to cultivate if the weather would cooperate. “This rain has definitely helped them.” There are places where the oats are starting to turn. Lee reported that they “still look fairly green.” As for the hay, Lee’s plan is to start chopping again on July 15. The forecast calls for warmer temperatures for next week. That would be ideal to get the hay finished. Chopping is the main focus for the next week and a half. Lee’s plan is to “chop to fill the silo and do some small squares. The rest will be round bales.” The first half of July has been on the wetter and cooler side. Lee is hopeful that the rest of the month will be warmer and dry enough to get the hay finished. Only time will tell if Mother Nature is still listening.
“I gave up on the weather.” The Land spoke with Andy Pulk on July 15 as he reported that since May 23, there’s been “28 days of actual measurable rain.” Even with all that moisture and the lack of significant heat, Pulk is still optimistic that drier, warmer days are ahead. “The corn is all canopied,” Pulk said. Because of the wet conditions, Pulk still has some nitrogen left to apply. There is warmer weather forecasted for next week. Pulk believes that “the corn is going to need it.” The crop is currently waist high and has “good color, it just needs sunshine and heat.” The soybeans “are starting to bloom” and are “average at best.” Pulk will need to apply a second application of herbicide on the beans. The wheat and rye grass have had fungicide applied and both are doing well with all the rain and lack of heat. The wheat “looks fairly decent.” Pulk predicts that “it will be average or above average.” The rye grass is “looking pretty good.” With swathing of the rye grass expected to begin in nine or 10 days. The crops aren’t the only thing on Pulk’s mind. Roseau County Fair begins on July 17 and that means “art projects, bunnies, 4-H, Power Wheels derby.” Pulk started the Power Wheels derby last year with 10 cars donated from local businesses. This year, more children are expected to be involved in the derby. The finals will be held in front of the grandstand on July 22. The fair “is kind of our family vacation.” Nicer weather for the crops and the fair-goers would be more than welcomed for Pulk. Family memories will be made regardless of rain or sunshine, but Pulk would certainly take the sunshine and so would his crops.

The following marketing analysis is for the week ending July 15. CORN — A fairly big ride this week in the December corn with a weekly trading range of 30 cents. But when the final bell rang, the contract only lost 4.25 cents to close at $3.58.25 per bushel. September corn rallied and fell with each weather update and finally settled 2.75 cents lower at $3.52.25 per bushel. When the outlook was hot and dry, prices rose; but when a little more water or less hot temperatures were added in, prices retreated. The corn condition as PHYLLIS NYSTROM CHS Hedging Inc. of July 10 was up 1 percent St. Paul week-on-week at 76 percent good/excellent. This was tied for the highest rating in the last 22 years for this time of year. With this stellar rating, it seems the crop has some cushion for a short-lived hot and dry spell. The current 168 bushels per acre yield projection seems attainable and could possibly increase if the weather cooperates. The monthly World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report didn’t hold any big surprises, but could be considered slightly friendly since the ending stocks numbers were below expectations. On the 2015-16 balance sheet, there were several changes in the usage categories: feed down 50 million, Feed, Seed and Industrial down 18 million, ethanol 25 million lower and exports up 75 million to 1.9 billion bushels. Ethanol usage seems to have hit a wall with the blend wall and better conversion rates. The higher export figure is not a sur-
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 milGLENN lion acres, which is slightly less WACHTLER than the trade expected.

Different strategies for hedging are needed, depending on where you believe the outcome of your final yield will be.

Corn: Odds of an aggressive rally are declining 6.6 percent to 7.3 percent for new crop. The June NOPA crush report was released as traders headed home for the weekend. The crush was 145.05 million bushels, down from 152.8 million bushels in May. This was enough to set a new record for the month of June, surpassing the old 142.5 record, but was just under the average guess of 145.4 million bushels. The crush is on pace to achieve the USDA’s crush projection of 1.89 billion bushels despite board crush margins falling more than 50 percent since the beginning of the month. Weekly export sales were a disappointment at 13.4 million bushels for old crop, bringing total commitments to 1.898 billion bushels. The new USDA estimate is just 1.795 billion bushels, so they are anticipating a high rollover of old crop sales into new crop. As mentioned last week, we have more unshipped sales on the books than we’ve had in the last 35 years. New crop sales this week were as expected at 20 million bushels, extending total commitments for next year to 299 million bushels. This is 48 million bushels ahead of last year. China imported 7.5 mmt of soybeans in June, down from each of the previous two months. In this calendar year, their bean imports are up 10 percent from last year. OUTLOOK: The November contract didn’t quite fill the overhead gap left from July 5 that extends to $11.36.25 per bushel. The gap will act as the next upside resistance with closer resistance at $10.85 (the 50-day moving average). Next support is at the 100-day moving average of $10.10 per bushel as of July 15. Funds have been net sellers of soybeans, but were still estimated to be net long 135,000 contracts going home July 15. August weather will keep price volatility high and unpredictable. Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ended July 15: September Chicago wheat fell 10.25 cents, Minneapolis declined 4.25 cents and Kansas City dropped 7.5 cents. August crude oil rose a modest 54 cents to close at $45.95 per barrel, ULSD fell 1.5 cents while RBOB gained over a nickel. Natural gas was down 4.5 cents for the week. The U.S. dollar index rose .378 to 96.680. The Dow set a new record high during the week at 18,557. ❖

odds of an extended, aggressive rally are declining. Funds have been liquidating their net long position and were estimated net long about 27,000 contracts as of July 15. For the December contract, first support lies at the contract low of $3.46 per bushel with resistance at last week’s high at $3.80 per bushel. Pollination is upon us and weather is the focus. SOYBEANS — November soybeans posted a 90.5 cent weekly range before closing down just .5 cents for the week at $10.57.25 per bushel. The lead August contract pulled back 10.75 cents to close at $10.72.5 per bushel. Weather forecasts dictated soybean price direction similar to corn’s direction. Prices turned on a dime (excuse the expression) when forecasts indicated the “heat dome” will retreat after July 25. With the benefit of rain ahead of the forecasted hot and dry conditions from July 19 through 25, and now the outlook for those conditions to move through the region, bulls cut their length heading into the weekend. The U.S. climate prediction center still favors La Niña for the end of summer, but now puts odds at just 21 percent for it arriving by the end of August versus 49 percent odds for it last month. The July 12 WASDE report was generally neutral for soybeans. The report cut 2015/2016 ending stocks by 20 million bushels to 350 million bushels. This was accomplished by decreasing imports 5 million, increasing exports 15 million to 1.795 billion bushels, raising seed usage by 2 million and reducing the residual category by 22 million bushels. The 350 million bushel carryout was close to the prereport estimate for 357 million bushels. On the 2016/2017 balance sheet, planted acres were up 1.5 million acres in accordance with the June 1 planted acreage number. The yield was left unchanged at 46.7 bushels per acre. Production was 80 million bushels higher than last month at 3.88 billion bushels. On the demand side, crush was 10 million higher than last month and exports were increased 20 million bushels to 1.92 billion bushels. Ending stocks were up 30 million at 290 million bushels, but were in-line with expectations for 295 million bushels. The stocks to use ratio jumped from

The end result was a carryover of 1.701 billion bushels, down a measly 7 million bushels from last month, but 106 million bushels below the average guess. The 2016/2017 balance sheet used the June 1 planted acreage number of 94.1 million acres and left the yield unchanged at 168 BPA for production of 14.54 billion bushels. This is up 110 million bushels from last month. On the demand side, feed was cut 50 million, FSI was lowered 20 million, ethanol declined 25 million and exports were raised 100 million bushels. The ending stocks number rose 73 million bushels from last month to 2.081 billion bushels. The average estimate however, was 2.213 billion bushels. The ending stocks-to-use ratio for 2016/2017 is 14.7 percent compared to 12.4 percent for 2015/2016. On the world balance sheets, the USDA lowered Brazil’s corn production 7 mmt to 70 mmt. Dry conditions adversely affected their safrinha crop. In contrast to the U.S. numbers leaning slightly friendly, the world ending stocks figures leaned negative. For the 2015/2016 crop year, world ending stocks were 206.9 mmt versus estimates for 205.7 mmt. The 2016/2017 ending stocks number was 208.4 mmt compared to estimates for 206.2 mmt. Weekly export sales were better than expectations at 26.3 million bushels for old crop and brought total commitments to 1.886 billion bushels. We only need 9.7 million bushels of sales per week to hit the new 1.9 billion bushel USDA forecast. New crop sales were an impressive 27.1 million bushels. We now have 243 million bushels of sales on the books for 2016/2017 compared to 139 million last year as of this date. Weekly ethanol production was the third highest on record at 295 million gallons per week. This is up 6 million gallons/week from the previous week. Ethanol stocks fell from 21.56 million barrels to 21.13 million barrels.

Look for basis opportunities to lock in new crop sales 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. 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.

WACHTLER, from pg. 14 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.

Projections show production, marketing hikes for 2017 The following marketing analysis is for the week ending July 15. Due to a slower pace of cow herd expansion, the Agriculture Department lowered its 2016 milk production forecast from last month in its latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report. However, the production forecast for 2017 was raised “as higher forecast milk prices and lower feed costs in late 2016 and early 2017 are expected to lead to higher 2017 cow numbers.” 2016 production and marketings were projected at 212.4 and 211.5 billion pounds respectively, down 200 million pounds from last month on production and 100 million pounds less on marketings. If realized, 2016 production would be up 3.8 billion pounds or 1.8 percent from 2015. 2017 production and marketings were projected at 215.6 and 214.6 billion pounds respectively, up 300 mil-

Whole milk sales totaled 1.17 billion pounds, up 5.9 percent from a year ago, with year-to-date running 5.0 percent ahead of a year ago and making up 2.9 percent of total fluid sales. Skim milk sales were down 10.6 percent from a

year ago and down 10.3 percent year to date. Total packaged fluid milk sales for the first five months of 2016 totaled 20.7 billion pounds, which is down just 0.3 percent from the same period a year ago. Year-to-date sales of conventional products, at 19.6 billion pounds, are down 0.6 percent. Organic products, at 1.1 million pounds, were up 5.4 percent. Organic represented about 5.2 percent of total fluid milk sales so far in 2016. DMN also reports that “bottling sales are generally steady to lower across the U.S. as demand for summer drinks are rising. However, numerous loads of milk in the Midwest have been diverted to bottling plants as several bottlers report retail outlets discounting gallons of milk in their stores and increasing orders.” Cash cheese and butter headed higher the week of July 11. Block cheddar closed that Friday at $1.66 per pound, which is up 3 cents on the week and 4.75 cents above a year ago. The barrels finished at $1.7450. This is up 2.5 cents on the week, 15 cents above a year ago, (highest price since June 11, 2015) and 8.5 cents above the blocks.

TEALE, from pg. 14 making the usual seasonal top as prices have floundered over the past several weeks. Hog numbers appear to be increasing and pork cut outs have reached a level where pork movement has shown signs of resistance by the retailers to these higher prices. Since the beginning of July, the Lean Hog Index has been lower each day — suggesting the packer margins were tightening and numbers of available hogs were increasing. With adequate cold storage supplies and a strong U.S. dollar, the outlook for increased sales in the United States
and abroad would appear to be decreasing, leaving a potential oversupply problem. With this in mind, the prospects for continued strength in hog market seems to be waning. Thus the possibility of further advancement of a large magnitude seems remote at this time. The fact that the futures market now reflects weakness ahead by the present discounts in all the contracts reflects the trades feelings of the outlook for hog prices. Producers should be aware what the current market indications are when considering a marketing plan to protect inventories. ❖
Cheese production remains active and strong (H.R. 5685), sponsored by Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.), would spell out that the RCRA law, enacted in 1976 to govern solid wastes in landfills, is not intended to regulate agricultural operations like dairy farms,” the press release states. “The RCRA statute has been used to inappropriately target agriculture, specifically dairy and livestock producers, even if they have demonstrated that they have been following approved plans for using manure as a fertilizer. The bill would also protect farmers from citizen suits “if they are undergoing efforts to comply with federal orders.” “The new measure comes in response to a federal court ruling last year in lawsuits brought against dairies in Washington State. The litigation claimed that farms had inappropriately handled and stored animal manure under the RCRA law, even though
MARKETING
RCRA was not intended to focus on farming practices or the management of livestock manure. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington determined the amount of manure deposited exceeded approved limits and constituted environmental and human endangerment.” “This legislation would help end the confusion among farmers about environmental regulations, especially those who practice responsible waste management,” said Jim Mulhern, president and CEO of NMPF. “The RCRA law was not intended to govern farms, and Congress needs to enact this bipartisan legislation to reinforce that point.” Lee Mielke is a syndicated columnist who resides in Everson, Wash.

The 4th of July week butter stocks were down 2.8 percent from the previous week, according to FC Stone, but were 47.7 percent above last year. Butter churns are busy in the central region, says DMN, and many are running full schedules. Cream is reportedly tightening after a short-lived increase in supply from the holiday weekend. Some are bringing cream in from other regions. Spot sales of bulk butter are intermittent. Some buyers report little to no opportunity to purchase bulk butter. A few speculate that brokers and manufacturers who have butter inventories are “comfortable sitting on their stocks, as they believe prices on butter will firm throughout third quarter.” Western butter makers continue to position themselves for the end-of-year butter season. Domestic demand is steady and many manufacturers are maintaining production to meet current needs. A few have slowed or suspended their churns and opted to sell cream to Class II manufacturers. Cream supplies are getting tighter, especially in the Southwest, but most butter makers say they are not having any trouble finding cream. Butter inventories are growing and near seasonally high levels. Most butter makers are comfortable with existing stocks; but some are “not too eager to release spot loads of bulk butter just yet, willing to hold on to the butter to assure coverage of late year demands.” Grade A nonfat dry milk closed Friday at 87.5 cents per pound. This is down 1.5 cents on the week, but 13 cents above a year ago, with 16 cars sold.

MIELKE, from pg. 16 May commercial disappearance was “lackluster at best,” reports FC Stone. Total cheese disappearance was unchanged from last year, but down 4.4 percent from April. American cheese demand was down 1.4 percent from a year ago and down 5.8 percent from April. “The bright spot,” says FC Stone, “if there was one for cheese, was demand for the ‘other’ cheese category increased 0.9 percent from 2015 levels. But even other cheese was 3.5 percent lower than month-earlier levels. As you may have already guessed, we’re expecting June’s usage numbers to tell quite a different story given the sharp price rally in June.” Cheese production is active across the central region, reports DMN. As warm weather prevails and components in milk decrease, manufacturers are making production adjustments. Milk output is also decreasing but contracted milk intakes have not decreased enough to have a substantial impact on planned production for many Midwest cheese makers. Sale volumes remain high and a few participants note, specifically, that interest in processed cheese is growing. Several contacts say they are comfortable with inventories now that strong sales have alleviated some stock pressure; but international interest remains light as the U.S. dollar gains strength. Western cheese production remains active and strong. Plenty of milk is finding its way to the vat, even in areas where milk output is down seasonally. Domestic demand is good for most types of cheese. Retail sales are solid and process cheese sales are active “while the nation is in the midst of grilling season.” Cheese inventories continue to be long and many participants feel a large portion of the stockpile is “getting some age on it.” Some manufacturers are directing milk into other manufactured production in lieu of cheese. Others are seeking to rotate older commodity cheese out by blending with young cheese. “In some cases, this is proving more difficult, as processors are finding fresh barrels a little harder to acquire. Cheese manufacturers also note the inverted spread between blocks and barrels, which has been largely in place since the end of April.” ■ Butter started the week losing ground, but reversed gears mid-week and closed the third Friday of July at

Glencoe mill meets demand for livestock feed 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 gamebird 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 250-plus 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.

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 ered 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 MultiFoods 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. “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. �

Schmoll’s sweet corn business is in good hands

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. “My mom has reminded me that a big smile and a generous ‘thank you’ is perhaps the biggest part of selling sweet corn,” he said. 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”
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? “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

Osakis, Minn.
“Where Farm and Family Meet”
G
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.
