Hagen: Dog days of summer are biting livestock hard we all know, you can live on equity only so long! We salute your continued determination. Just for coffee talk, here’s data from 2012 Census of Agriculture showing trends in Minnesota: • 74,542 of farms, down 8 percent from 2007 (last previous ag census). • 4,746 dairy farms and 463,312 milk cows, down 7 percent and up 1 percent respectively. • Farmland totaled 26 million acres, down 3 percent. • Market value of ag products sold increased 61 percent over 2007. Total production expenses increased 50 percent. Net cash farm income averaged $94,345. • Beginning farmers (less than 10 years operating) accounted for 17 percent of all farm operators. • The only increase in farm size dur-
ing this five-year period was in farms of 2,000-plus acres, up 14 percent. What happened in Iowa during this same five-year period? Corporate ownership of Iowa farms climbed. About 8 percent of Iowa’s 88,637 farms were owned by corporations, which is up from 7 percent in 2007. Corporations, which can be family ventures, owned about 7,200 Iowa farms in 2012. Family and individual-owned farms remained around 80 percent of the total number of farms in Iowa which declined by 4,291. Average size of farms grew to 345 acres in 2012 from 33l acres in 2007. And this final snort from us Renville County habitants: We planted 272,500 acres of corn last year; harvested
270,000 acres; had an average yield of 190.8 bushels per acre, and produced 51,621,000 bushels. Yes, that was number one in Minnesota again — putting Renville County as one of the top five corn producing counties in America. Now you know why Olivia proudly flies the banner of the Corn Capital of Minnesota. Now kick back and relax for a few days.

But overall, moisture has been timely and temps have been great. Crop sprayers at the Olivia airport have been busy, busy. First was the thousands of acres of sugar beets needing some action on the oats or rye cover crops which earlier had been interseeded by these same applicators. Then the rush to kill off weeds in corn and soybean fields. Then aerial attacks on fungus disease which thrive in this hot, sticky environment. Almost certainly next up is the spraying to control soybean aphids. But it looks to me like most of you have a terrific crop in the making. The dog days of summer are biting livestock hard.

areas of my fields need additional fertilizer and which areas are fine with less. These advancements are very beneficial to area waterways. More farmers are using a practice called “side-dressing” where nitrogen fertilizer is applied throughout the growing season. Side-dressing allows farmers to use the same amount of nitrogen, but apply it more often and in smaller doses throughout the growing season to help ensure that it’s available to the crop when needed and kept out of nearby waterways. Farmers also use common conservation practices like grass waterways and buffer strips to protect water quality. Yes, farmers use buffer strips. They’ve been using them long before Gov. Mark Dayton’s recent buffer law. The everyday conservation efforts of today’s farmers don’t generate proactive headlines, but they are making a difference and are another example of farmers taking the lead on managing pollutants. As a farmer, it’s frustrating when report after report from government agencies and activist groups points the finger at agriculture for water pollution problems. Is there room for improvement in farm country? Absolutely. Many of the investments, initiatives and existing practices I’ve outlined are making progress.
OPINION
But the news isn’t all doom and gloom. A recent report from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency showed reductions in five of seven pollutants found in Minnesota waterways over a 30-year span. That’s meaningful progress we can build on. What we need to continue the positive momentum is more partnership and less finger-pointing. Farmers live in the communities where they farm. The last thing we want to do is pollute our own waterways, or the waterways of our neighbors down the road. We’re often told that improving our state’s water quality is too daunting of a task. As a farmer, I find that ridiculous. A big part of farming is overcoming obstacles. Striking the proper balance between maintaining a productive, profitable and sustainable farm operation while protecting our waterways is a challenge farmers are already taking on and will continue to do so. All Minnesotans share the same goal: Better water quality. We might have some disagreements on how to achieve that goal, but it’s time to end the rhetoric and finger-pointing and start doing a better job of working together to achieve our shared goal. Noah Hultgren Minnesota Corn Growers Association President Raymond, Minn.

almost as much as he rails against White House rival Hillary Clinton. When confronted with this ticket paradox on CBS’s 60 Minutes on July 17, both Trump and Pence stretched their previously inflexible trade positions so far to find common ground that both almost needed chiropractors to complete the interview. Characteristically, Trump ended that portion of the televised interview by labeling his trade critics — 24-carat GOP Big Biz stalwarts like the Business Roundtable and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce — as “really stupid people…” Come November however, Trump’s anti-trade tirades and Pence’s flip-flops on key farm and ranch issues such as the farm bill and renewable fuels will mean little to nothing to farmers and ranchers who, if the past is prologue, still will overwhelmingly vote for the Republican Trump/Pence ticket. At some deep, yet-to-be-examined level that probably makes sense: If farmers and ranchers truly believe that government is the problem, who better to lead them than a president who has never written one policy proposal and a vice president who has never passed one.

Commentary: Obey the law when applying pesticides on soybeans
THE LAND, JULY 29, 2016
We are getting disturbing reports across the country of farmers applying pesticides off label and/or under recommended thresholds. Two recent issues, dicamba application to dicamba tolerant soybeans and lowering the aphid threshold to 5-10 aphids per plant are particularly disturbing. The single most important fact is NO dicamba-containing herbicide is legally labeled for over-the-top application on soybeans. It is irrelevant as to the genetic potential of the crop. It is illegal to apply dicamba to a soybean crop. However, soybeans seen as weeds are a different issue. Farmers caught applying dicamba over-the-top of dicamba soybeans will face penalties ranging from a fine to complete crop destruct at their expense. The resulting damage from this illegal activity could make all Mississippi Delta-raised soybeans hard to sell. It doesn’t take long to imagine how quickly this could turn into a financial storm for all soybean farmers. My final comment is simple: Obey the law. Do not apply dicamba to dicamba-tolerant soybeans. Farmers have been scouting for soybean aphids. Compared to 2015, aphid populations have been developing slower this year; but I heard of one small field reaching the recommended threshold of 250 aphids per plant. I also saw some insecticide salesmen recommending application at a threshold of 5-
7 A
10 aphids per plant. The entomology team at the University of Minnesota has developed a document that goes into great detail about the economics and biology of soybean aphid control, and why the threshold of 250 aphids per plant is still accurate. Currently, there are three classes of insecticide available for soybean control: organophosphates, pyrethroids and neonicotinoids. Managing insecticide resistance will mean proper chemical rotation, as well as using proper threshold levels. Many farmers use neonicotinoids as seed treatments and they are part of some premixes for foliar application. Pockets of south central Minnesota aphids were found to be resistant to pyrethroids. The Environmental Protection Agency is currently reviewing the label for chlorpyrifos. At the end of the day, we just have way too few tools in the toolbox. Risking those tools for a possible one year profit becomes questionable for a wise grower. Lowering the application threshold increases the risk of developing insecticide resistance. Farmers have to make tough management decisions. Try your best to make good ones. David Kee Minnesota Soybean Director of Research

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.
Kent Moser, Rock Rapids, Iowa July 22 The dog days of summer have arrived and that means temperatures and humidity that are “pushing 110 to 115 degree heat index.” The Land spoke with Kent Moser on July 22 as he was trying to keep cool on another high-humidity, high-temperature day. Thankfully the rain has not shied away during this heat spell. Moser reports that the crops “caught about a half to three-fourths (of an inch) of rain” earlier in the week. The corn is “moving along well.” It’s currently in the middle of pollinating and is all tasseled. Moser estimated that the corn crop is “a week to 10 days ahead of normal.” The soybeans “look excellent.” Moser compared the beans from last year to this year’s crop. “A lot more disease that showed up this time last year,” he said. Moser is starting fungicide application now on the beans. Overall, “the heat has definitely been above average” while the “precipitation is now closer to normal,” he reported. The rain that has fallen has given the crops the needed moisture to grow in these excessive heat conditions. Even with the heat, Moser said he “feels good about the condition of the crops.”
FOLLOWING THE 2016 GROWING SEASON By KRISTIN KVENO The Land Correspondent
“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.
John Nielsen, Albert Lea, Minn. July 21 John Nielsen doesn’t like hail. He certainly doesn’t like it when hail strikes his crops for the second time this growing season. The Land spoke with Nielsen on July 21 as he reported: “The hail went on the same path as it went before.” Hail hitting the same crops twice just isn’t nice. There was some corn damaged in the storm. The corn is “almost all tasseled.” Fungicide was delivered to the airport today so the plane could start spraying Nielsen’s corn. The crop is “definitely ahead of the curve.” Nielsen said he believes: “It’s pretty much pollinated and setting ears pretty good.” The corn “looks unbelievably good,” he reported. The soybeans “are super tall.” That has a lot to do with rain. “Every week we get a half an inch or more even in July.” Even with that amount of rain, “we have been able to handle it.” The rain has allowed the crops to flourish even in this excessive heat. “The heat is going to last a couple more days,” Nielsen said. On July 24, whether it’s raining or just plain hot, nothing will stop Nielsen and his wife Sue in celebrating 45 years of wedded bliss. Nielsen, Sue and their children will gather to revel in this major milestone. With the crops looking good and 45 years of marriage to celebrate, Nielsen is one happy producer.

Often times we do them without reimbursement,” said Weeks Duncanson. “We certainly keep up to speed on what’s out there.” Weeks Duncanson said the buffer law may help get others up to speed on conservation practices. The Minnesota Corn Growers Association is informing members about CRP. According to the Minnesota Cornerstone webpage, the Farm Service Agency maintains that when producers re-enroll in CRP the first one-rod buffer will not be paid for in subsequent contracts.

native water quality practice. If the area in question is public waters, landowners should contact their SWCD. If it’s the public ditch, then landowners can contact their drainage authority. If the SWCDs, drainage authorities or other local governments identify errors in the map during landowner conversations, they will notify the DNR. The DNR will make corrections where appropriate and maintain an accurate map. According to a DNR press release, over 1,440 corrections were made during the public comment period for the preliminary maps while a small number of comments could not be addressed prior to the July publication date because they require further field review. So the DNR will release updated maps in October and January. Installing buffers John Jaschke is executive director of the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources, the agency implementing the buffer program. Jashcke said he believes that the maps will be clear to landowners, SWCDs and drainage authorities. Many have already viewed the preliminary maps. “Certainly the maps were crucial when the legislation was being put together so everyone can understand where the buffers will be required,” said Jaschke. Most people will be able to use the online map. If you need internet access or help understanding the map and how it affects your property, your local SWCD can help, explained Jaschke. “What it really comes down to is individual landowners fitting that buffer or alternative water quality practice on to their property,” said Jaschke. That’s where your local SWCD comes in. Staff will help landowners understand the maps, provide technical assistance and identify funding streams. Some districts will have equipment such as seed drills for rent,
noted Jaschke. A sticking point with landowners and farmers has been compensation for installing buffers, loss of crop acres and land values. John Jaschke “We want to make sure we give those landowners a chance to participate in any conservation programs that will give them a payment option,” said Jaschke. Jaschke directs people to the BWSR website at www.bwsr.state.mn.us/ buffers/.

By MARIE WOOD The Land Associate Editor Kristin Weeks Duncanson, of Duncanson Growers, raises beans, corn and hogs with her husband Pat Duncanson, near Mapleton, Minn. They are taking a good look at the buffer maps released on July 12 by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. She advises other farmers to do the same. “Producers need to take some time to look at the map. If they are going to challenge something, they need to do it pretty quickly,” said Weeks Duncanson. “They do have a process in place.” The long-awaited buffer maps identify the public waters and public ditches that require permanent vegetative buffers or alternative water quality practices. With maps in hand, the buffer initiative moves into implementation. The law requires a 50-foot average buffer width, 30-foot minimum width on public waters and a 16.5 foot (one rod) minimum width on public ditches. More than 90,000 miles of waters in Minnesota require buffers or alternative water quality practices. The buffer maps are online at www.dnr.state.mn.us/buffers/. The webpage includes common landowner questions and answers. “I have to hand it to the DNR for putting the page together with questions that people are going to ask,” said Weeks Duncanson. In April, Gov. Mark Dayton signed a bill that clarified the law, taking out language referring to private ditches,a clarification that helped, noted Weeks Duncanson. She serves on the executive committee of the AgriGrowth Board and Blue Earth County Water Task Force. Pat Duncanson is involved in the Le Sueur River Watershed. “Buffers might not be the be-all, endall, but this is where we are at,” Weeks Duncanson said. “Because of the timeline, people are going to have to go ahead and get going. I think it’s time to make a plan and do what you need to do.” The first deadline is Nov. 1, 2017, for buffers on lands adjacent to public waters identified on the map. The second deadline is Nov. 1, 2018, for one rod buffers on lands adjacent to public ditches identified on the map. The DNR webpage lays out the process to amend the buffer map.

Non-GMO trend may affect sugar beet growers
<< www.TheLandOnline.com >>
sugar beet cooperatives, including Southern Minnesota Beet Sugar Cooperative, have invested in public outreach through events and social media to bring their story to the consumer. Q: Will sugar beet farmers return to growing non-GE sugar beets? If so, how difficult will this transition be? Stevens: In short, yes, but only if absolutely necessary. GE beet sugar will have to sustain large price cuts before it would become economically sensible to return to conventional sugar beets. In other words, if the premium for non-GE sugar was enough to offset the decrease in productivity, such a transition would be considered. However, the cooperative would probably lose some beet farmers if that transition was made. Q: GE sugar beets have been grown since 2008, is there any reason to believe that beet sugar is not safe or unhealthier than cane sugar for people? Stevens: Sugar derived from GE sugar beets is unique to other GE crops because sugar has all the proteins removed during the refining process. Since it is the proteins that carry the altered genetic material, there is absolutely no difference between white sugar from cane and white sugar from sugar beets. This has been corroborated by 44 international samples and multiple samples from the 23 North American factories. There is no evidence to suggest that cane sugar and beet sugar are any different. Stevens attends the University of Minnesota, where she is working on a double major in chemistry and ag economics. She is a member of the American Chemical Society, Beta of Clovia, and treasurer for Gopher Crops and Soils Club. She has advocated for the sugar beet industry in Washington, D.C., and published articles on the ethics of genetically engineered food production. Visit Southern Minnesota Beet Sugar Cooperative at www.smbsc.com for more information. ❖

Hershey Kisses, milk chocolate and milk chocolate with almonds are made with cane sugar and no longer contain beet sugar. Minnesota is a major supplier of beet sugar from genetically engineered sugar beets, with cooperatives that include Southern Minnesota Beet Sugar Cooperative in Renville and American Crystal Sugar in Moorhead. Co-op members are family farmers like the Stevens family of Chippewa County. Megan Stevens is involved on the family farm, along with her brother and father.

Tiny hummingbird has big following in Henderson By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent HENDERSON, Minn. — On Aug. 20, the Henderson Hummingbird Hurrah will find hummingbirds and their enthusiastic admirers flocking to this town on the Minnesota River. The hummingbirds are present all summer, lured in part by the town’s Hummingbird Garden, but there’s a noticeable increase this time of year. Henderson Feathers, the sponsoring organization, plans a full day of activity to add to viewing the little creatures that hum from one place to another. The Henderson Hummingbird Hurrah may be the splashiest event sponsored by Henderson Feathers; but it is only one aspect of this group of volunteers who promote environmental awareness in this area of the Minnesota River Valley. Henderson Feathers is a real team effort. When we met to talk, not one

Pat Steckman is the current chairperson of Henderson Feathers. Dolores Hagen was the spark that started the group and still keeps it fired up. She and Arlene Busse, a local historian, are considered the founding mothers of the group. Art and Barb Straub are long-time nature enthusiasts and educators who brought their Nature’s Neighbors program under the umbrella. All have served on the board of directors. The other spark for the organization was the flashy little hummingbird. “The Hurrah is spectacular,” Hagen said. “There are literally hundreds of hummingbirds in one location, and we do banding. Hundreds of people come to see the banding.” The event started in Hagen’s backyard. She had a beautiful garden and loved hummingbirds. Busse described Hagen’s backyard as a “mass feeding program” or “buffet” for humming-

birds. An Audubon Society member saw what she had and encouraged her to share it. “I came up with Henderson Hummingbird Hurrah, and called him and asked, should we do this?” Hagen said. “And he said, I’m with you. Do it.” So Hagen organized the event and publicized it with the Audubon Society and Minnesota Ornithological Union. Busse mustered up 20,000 cookies so they could serve cookies and lemonade. “That was a crazy thing,” Busse said. They don’t serve the cookies anymore, and the Hurrah grew too large for Hagen’s backyard. Uniting forces Working with the town of Henderson and its Park Board, Henderson Feathers was granted an area on the river’s floodplain to establish a community Hummingbird Garden. Planted with hummingbird-attracting flowers, supplemented with hummingbird feeders, it is maintained by volunteers. Benches welcome people to sit and admire the feeding birds and other pollinators. Hagen took the lead in establishing Henderson Feathers, a 501(c)3 organization, an all-volunteer group. “It started out with an idea that I wanted a tourist attraction, something to make Henderson a center of activity in the valley,” Hagen said. Hagen, a journalist and newspaper publisher, provided a storefront on main street and a telephone line that was a birding information service. Bird sightings were disseminated to birders. That was the beginning which grew into an admirable collection of activities. Retired teachers Art and Barb Straub had been conducting Nature’s Neighbors for years, providing summer environmental education sessions for elementary age children. See HUMMINGBIRD, pg. 13A

migrating Chimney Swifts. An interest in birds, especially hummingbirds, a concern for and love of the natural environment, and a desire to draw people to the rivertown of Henderson have all played a part in motivating a group of citizens that come together in Henderson Feathers. Working with other groups like the Audubon Society, the Minnesota Ornithological Union, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, they are educating and awakening their community and others to the treasure of their natural world. Visit www.hendersonfeathers.org and www.hendersonhummingbird hurrah.com, or Henderson Hummingbird Hurrah on Facebook. Editor’s note: After struggling with illness, Dolores Hagen passed away on July 9. Several years ago, Dolores and her late husband Budd transformed the backyard of their home to provide food and sanctuary for not only hummingbirds, but a large number of native bird species. She was passionate about the bald eagle as scores of them migrate through Henderson each year and some set up residency in the river valley. Dolores was 78. ❖

Be on the look out for wild parsnip in ditches Recently, there has been a growing concern over the wild parsnip (Pastinaca sativa L.) in Minnesota. Due to wild parsnip’s highly invasive and toxic nature, everyone needs to be aware of what this weed looks like and what precautions to take when working around it. According to Minnesota Department of Agriculture, wild parsnip is listed as a prohibited-control noxious weed. Prohibited noxious weeds must be eradicated or controlled in accordance to the Minnesota Noxious Weed Law. MDA describes wild parsnip as a monocarpic perennial plant which typically grows to heights of 4 to 6 feet tall and reproduces by seed. Seedlings
Submitted
emerge in the spring and spend their first years of growth as rosettes. Eventually, rosettes “bolt” and produce a stout branching stem. Wild parsnip
leaves alternate on the stem and consists of five to 15 oval-shaped leaflets that are sharply toothed. Many fivepetaled yellow flowers form in flattopped umbels at the end of the stems. Wild parsnip typically blooms from late May through July in Minnesota. Following the bloom, the plant begins to die and many flat seeds are produced in the umbels and can remain viable in the soil for up to five years. Special caution must be taken to avoid any contact with the plant's sap. Sap contact with skin in the presence of sunlight can cause a rash that often leads to serious burns, blisters and discoloration of skin. Wear gloves, long sleeves and pants when handling or
working near the plant. Wild parsnip, as well as other noxious weeds, needs to be persistently managed over a span of up to five years to significantly decrease the population. Additional details on how to manage noxious weeds can be found in “A Guide to Removal and Disposal of Noxious Weeds in Minnesota” at http://z.umn.edu/nweeddisposal. For more information about wild parsnip, please visit the MDA wild parsnip website at http://z.umn.edu/ wildparsnip or contact Karen Anderson at (507) 444-7685 or via email at ande9495@umn.edu.

Grain Angles Expanding land base As a business consultant at AgStar, I’ve had multiple opportunities to visit with a wide range of clients and other professionals in the ag industry. It probably comes as no surprise that acquiring additional farmland is often on the minds of producers. Some producers, while interested in expanding their land base, are understandably concerned about taking on additional debt during the current period of compressed margins. Other producers, through sound risk management, professional financial management strategies or just luck, have positioned their businesses well to take advantage of potential real estate AL BENNETT opportunities on the horizon.

Given that 2-3 percent of the ag real estate changes hands on an annual basis; 30 percent of farm operators today are 65 and older; and 40 percent of those in that age group will retire in the next four to five years; there will be opportunities — particularly for the younger generation — to be investing in real estate going forward. I want to assume that, if you’re interested in a parcel, you're doing basic due diligence such as drainage, fertility, impacts relative to Farm Service Agency, and any easements or setbacks that impact the use of the parcel. Also, check with your local planners for any roads or trails being planned that might impact the property in the future. It is vital to

It has been a rough couple of weeks in the livestock markets as both cattle and hogs prices were under pressure the entire time. This has put these markets in oversold conditions giving the idea that some sort of rebound could be in the offing in the weeks ahead. The cattle market has continued its long-term slide in prices due to a continued slow demand for beef. With cattle numbers continuing to grow ever so slightly, it has made ever so popular beef not so popular due to the comparative meats at the current price structure at the retail level. This has been the continuing problem for the cattle market over the JOE TEALE past several years and until beef Broker becomes more price competitive Great Plains Commodity at the retail level, it seems that a Afton, Minn. sustained rally in cattle prices is not very likely at the present time. There was a little good news on July 22 at the release of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Monthly Cattle on Feed report. The findings are as follows: On feed was put at 101 percent, placements 103 percent; marketed 109 percent. This compares to estimates prior to the report for on feed at 101.6, placed at 106.5 and marketed 109.4. The placement number being lighter than anticipated should help the futures market reduce the discount that it currently sustains and provide some optimism that the cash market could at minimum hold steady to improve in the next few weeks. The long term outlook would still suggest that problems still lie ahead mainly due to the slow demand for beef.

CORN — Corn sliced through first support this week as it set new contract lows yet again. Weather is the dominant driver of direction and the trade is hanging onto every forecast update that comes across the wire. The forecasted extreme heat and dry conditions did not hang around as long as predicted. Recent rainfall has given the corn some cushion to withstand a short period of high temperatures. Corn conditions as of July 17 were steady at 76 percent good/excellent and historically high. Silking was 56 percent compete versus 46 percent on average. The latest six to 10 day forecasts for July 28 through Aug. 1 look warm for the Corn PHYLLIS NYSTROM Belt, but above average chances CHS Hedging Inc. St. Paul for rain mitigate any detrimental threat to corn yields. For the week, December corn tumbled 16.5 cents lower to close at $3.41.75 per bushel. The new contract low in that contract was set on the last trading day of the week at $3.33.25 per bushel. The nearby September contract was 17.25 cents lower at $3.35 per bushel. Grower sales have essentially dwindled to a mere trickle and basis levels have responded with strength to get something into the pipeline. Theories are popping up about where prices are headed if we have normal to favorable conditions to finish the crop. The market is presently building in the 168 bushels per acre yield that the U.S. Department of Agriculture is using on its balance sheets. If that yield can climb to 170 bushels per acre, which the market is leaning toward, we could be looking at prices for new crop under $3.20 per bushel. See NYSTROM, pg. 16A

Soybean rally that began in April is nearly erased NYSTROM, from pg. 15A U.S. corn export sales were less than stellar at 13.6 million bushels for old crop and 19.9 million bushels for new crop. Old crop sales commitments have matched the updated USDA outlook at 1.9 billion bushels, but we have 407 million of the sales still unshipped. The unshipped portion is 42 percent higher than last year at this time. U.S. corn is uncompetitive with Black Sea corn and feed wheat in the October through January time slot. China had limited success in selling corn reserves at its latest auction. China sold 762,000 metric tons of the 2.8 million metric tons offered. Since the end of May, China has sold nearly 12 mmt from its corn reserve. Weekly ethanol production set a new record at 1.029 million barrels and stocks were up 26,000 barrels at 21.16 million barrels. The crop year-todate annualized grind is 5.2 billion bushels of corn. The July USDA ethanol usage line was 5.225 billion bushels, so we are close to on pace. The Cattle on Feed report released on July 22 showed 102 percent on feed, neutral; placements at 103 percent, lower than the 106.4 percent estimate; marketings 109 percent, neutral. With a lower than expected placements number, this may be friendly for livestock, but a negative for corn. OUTLOOK: The low in October 2014 was $3.18.25 per bushel and that may be a downside target for corn this fall. We may likely see some seesaw trading as weather outlooks are tweaked and pollination progresses. Speculators in corn turned their net long into a net short for the first time since April in the week that ended July 22 with a net short of 6,300 contracts. The crop isn’t in the bin yet, but it’s getting closer all the time and at least for now, any yield threatening conditions have passed. This scenario makes it more difficult for the bulls to press their case for a significant, sustained rally.
SOYBEANS — Soybeans marched lower this week as the extreme heat did get as hot as predicted and the duration was shorter. While it gets old to talk about, weather has been the headline and will continue to be for the next several weeks. We all know the bean yield is made in August and any weather forecast that far out doesn’t promote a lot of confidence. Soybeans were down 6.5 percent for the week as November soybeans tried to hold the $10.00 per bushel psychological support area, but was unable to do so with improved forecasts ahead of the weekend. November soybeans set a new low for the move at $9.66.25 after trading a 50.25 cent range going into the weekend. For the week, November soybeans were an impressive 69 cents lower at $9.88.25 per bushel. The nearby August contract was 66 cents lower at $10.06.5 per bushel. The USDA’s July balance sheets used a 46.7 bushels per acre yield. If current forecasts are accurate, and who knows that, the yield may edge higher to 48 bushels per acre or better. U.S. weekly export soybean sales were mixed with old crop a disappointment at just under 12 million bushels, but better than expected new crop sales of 36.8 million bushels. Unshipped old crop sales remain high at 262 million bushels vs. 85.6 million bushels unshipped last year at this time. China was able to sell a decent amount of the 579,000 metric tons of soybeans placed at auction this week. Of the total, China sold 332,000 metric tons. Since the program began July 15, they have sold 662,000 metric tons of reserve soybeans. Soybeans conditions as of July 17 were unchanged from the previous week at 71 percent good/excellent. Blooming at 59 percent complete was well ahead of the 49 percent average. Setting pods was 18 percent complete compared to 13 percent complete on average. There is trade chatter that Argentina may not cut the soybean export tax by the promised 5 percent

Weather has been the headline and will continue to be for the next several weeks. We all know the bean yield is made in August and any weather forecast that far out doesn’t promote a lot of confidence. next year. According to the Ag Minister, economic conditions may not allow for the reduction. A trucker’s strike in Argentina makes the news when weather forecasts stagnate and has generally been a non-event so far. OUTLOOK: The rally that began in April from $9.03 and peaked at $12.08.5 has been nearly erased. Will buying be uncovered at this level? Possibly, but why stand in front of a moving train? Basis levels have improved too in an effort to prompt bushels into the pipeline, but it’s not believed anyone has a big stockpile to move and current flat prices are very unattractive to growers. Fund selling was active in the week that ended July 22. Speculators in soybeans went from a net long of 145,000 contracts to net long 125,300 contracts. This is also their first net short position since April. The next short term support level is the 200-day moving average at $9.53 per bushel; but if the funds want to continue to liquidate and the weather cooperates, this could be taken out in short order. Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ending July 22: September Chicago wheat up 0.5 cents, Minneapolis down 1.5 cents and Kansas City rallied 5.25 cents. Nearby crude oil collapsed $2.46 to $44.19 per barrel, ULSD dropped 4 cents, RBOB sank 6 cents and natural gas gained 2 cents. The U.S. dollar as of July 22 was up .796 for the week. ❖

Consider impact on cash flow before buying farmland BENNETT, from pg. 15A review all these findings with your legal professional, CPA and loan officer prior to developing a formal plan for acquisition. More specifically, it’s critical to consider the financial impacts. What are the tax, cash flow, liquidity implications to your business? Take a realistic look at taking on additional debt — even if it might work well at $4.50 or $5.50 corn. Ask yourself: “Do I have adequate reserves to make it work during a period of $2.50 corn lasting two or three years?” Will your financial position allow you to sustain the debt payments without compromising other areas of the business and/or your personal lifestyle? Another consideration that often gets overlooked is long-term strategic planning. How does the land purchase integrate with your estate plan? Your succession plan? If you’re working on bringing another generation into the business, make sure their involvement is considered and the opportunity for financing as a young beginning farmer is explored.
I want to make sure that as you consider a major step like this for your business, it’s more than just a ‘good’ deal. We often see clients in pursuit of the ‘love property’ next door. If the next generation will be a partner in the acquisition, a comprehensive buy-sell agreement will be needed to deal with the potential risks of departure, divorce, disability, death, and retirement. Work closely with your legal professional to cover this base. Lastly, I want to make sure that as you consider a major step like this for your business, it’s more than just a “good” deal. We often see clients in pursuit of the “love property” next door. While it may not be the best property, because of its proximity the producer
believes it to be a “great” deal. This sometimes results in overextending the operation financially such that when the “great” deal finally evolves, they are no longer in a position to compete for it. Having all your ducks in a row in any business deal is essential. When it comes to farmland purchases, it’s even more important to ensure decisions are practical and align with the long-term plans for your business. Following the best practices outlined above and keeping in contact with your trusted advisors will give you an advantage to make sound decisions and move you in a positive direction.

California was only down 1 percent from 2015 in June, milking 8,000 fewer cows and getting 10 pounds less per cow. But June was the 19th consecutive month where output in the Golden State was below a year ago. Number two, Wisconsin, just about tripled California’s shortfall. Output was up 3.8 percent despite a loss of 2,000 cows. Output per cow was up 75 pounds from a year ago.

Hog market is oversold higher retail prices. Hog numbers have also been on an ever so slight increase which has made the packer a little more selective in the price discovery. The fact that the latest cold storage report indicated an increase in pork in storage will likely keep the hog market from any sustained rallies for the time being. However the market was extremely oversold prior to the report and the futures market actually showed a reversal on July 22. This could help stabilize the prices for the short term and bring the futures market out of the discounts that are now present. From a seasonal standpoint however, the overall trend may continue lower into the fall months. Therefore, producers are suggested to monitor current market conditions and use strength to consider protecting inventories. ❖

Producers should remain aware of current market conditions and protect inventories as needed. The hog market has been in a price slide for weeks which more than likely confirms a seasonal top in the market. The futures market, which a month ago was at a premium, moved to a discount the past several weeks signaling an end to the extended price rally.

USDA forecasts higher milk prices, lower feed costs MIELKE, from pg. 17A pounds. Texas was up 3.8 percent on a 45 pound gain per cow and 6,000 more cows than a year ago. Washington state was again unchanged across the board. The report is viewed as neutral to the market. Meanwhile, dairy farmers culled more cows in June than in May and more than a year ago, according to USDA’s latest Livestock Slaughter report. An estimated 223,700 head were slaughtered under federal inspection in the month, up 9,100 from May and 2,200 head or about 1 percent more than May 2015. Culling in the first six months of 2016 totaled 1,449,300 head, which is down 7,400 from 2015. ■ Perhaps it’s better than slipping, but this week’s Global Dairy Trade auction saw the weighted average for all

The Outlook adds: “Based on recent data, forecasts of milk cow numbers for the second and third quarter of 2016 have been lowered by 10,000 head. The 2016 forecast of milk per cow was unchanged from last month. As a result of the lower expected cow numbers, the milk production forecast for 2016 is 212.4 billion pounds, a reduction of 200 million pounds.” The forecast for milk cows was increased by 15,000 for 2017 to 9.335 million, due to higher forecasts for milk prices and lower forecasts for feed prices. Output per cow was unchanged, at 23,095 pounds for the year. Total production was forecast at 215.6 billion pounds, up 300 million pounds from last month, an increase of 1.5 percent from 2016. “Feed price forecasts for 2015-16 and 2016-17 were generally lowered from last month. The 2015-16 corn price forecast was $3.60-$3.70 per bushel, down a nickel from last month’s forecast at the midpoint. The 2016-17 corn price forecast is $3.10-$3.70 per bushel, down a dime on both ends of the range. The estimated 2015-16 soybean meal price is $340 per short ton, up $5. The 2016-17 soybean meal price forecast is $325-$365 per short ton, up $5 at both ends of the range. The reductions in the corn price forecasts are proportionally greater than the higher forecasts for the soybean meal prices. The national average price for alfalfa hay decreased from $153 per short ton in April to $147 in May.”

Four cars of block traded hands on the week, 16 of barrel. ■ Cheese production is active in the central region, according to Dairy Market News. Milk production is tapering off and spot loads of milk are becoming increasingly difficult to come by. “Some manufacturers are content with the decrease while others are actively seeking spot loads and/or condensed skim loads to compensate for any fall in intakes.” “A few manufacturers are choosing to slow manufacturing of other commodities and push milk into cheese,” reports Dairy Market News. Demand for cheese is strong and growing, says Dairy Market News, and “processed sales continue to do well as grilling season is at its peak.” Manufacturers of Italian and fresh type cheese report growing inquiries and strong sales. Inventories are mixed, according to Dairy Market News. But, “Several weeks of growing sales have aided in inventory relief throughout the central region,” Dairy Market News says, and “Numerous participants feel they are in balance with their current inventory levels. However, active production is leading to rebuilding of stocks for some industry contacts. International interest was unchanged this week.” Dairy Market News reports that declines in Class I demand in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic has increased milk to manufacturing plants and more than offset seasonal declines in milk production. “Seasonally warm weather covers both regions, while dairy farms across the Northeast are challenged by lack of rain and drought conditions. Hot weather in the Southeast continues to prompt declines in milk production. The FMMO (Federal Milk Marketing Order) reports that Class I utilization was down 6.64 percent from a year ago shifting milk from bottling to auxiliary manufacturing plants.” Western cheese manufacturers are enjoying active and strong production.

Midwest butter churns more active than normal for July MIELKE, from pg. 19A 21, and closed July 22 at $2.2925 per pound. This is down 2.75 cents on the week, but 33.75 cents above a year ago with 19 cars sold this week. Central butter churns are active but, “as the Midwest faces rising temperatures and humidity, cream is tightening,” reports Dairy Market News. “Contacts report that the cream supply is not as tight as they had anticipated for this point in the season.” Dairy Market News adds that “July butter production is reportedly more active than in previous years. Some manufacturers are content with higher production while others would like to be at lower churn rates. Butter inventories are mixed. A few participants speculate that a large amount of butter stocks are committed. With seasonally abnormal churn activity, several manufacturers report growing stocks. Demand is steady to increasing. Buyers report difficulty finding spot loads of butter in the central region despite sufficient to growing inventories.” Western butter output is steady, says Dairy Market News, “as butter makers work hard to fulfill current contract needs. Decreases in butter production at some facilities have been offset by active production at others. A few butter makers have opted for slowing the churns and selling excess cream. Cream is generally available for most processing, but supplies are tight in some areas.” “Buyers and sellers are watching what happens with cream availability over the next few weeks and how it may impact butter markets into the seasonally higher demand times of the year,” Dairy Market News reported. “Although butter supplies are currently long, contacts say manufacturers view stocks as comfortable and reluctant to release spot loads of butter unless milk fats become more widely available. Domestic butter demand is solid and manufacturers report steady shipments.” ■ Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk ended the week at 84.5 cents per pound, down 3 cents but 10.5 cents above a year ago, on 16 cars sold on the week. Dairy margins continued to strengthen over the first half of July, with milk prices steady to a little higher while feed costs declined, according to the latest Margin Watch from Chicago-based Commodity & Ingredient Hedging LLC.
“From a historical perspective, forward margins look particularly attractive in the first and second quarter, at around the 80th percentile of the previous 10 years,” the Margin Watch states, “While nearby margins in third and fourth quarter are just below the 70th percentile of the same time period.” “Milk prices received support from the latest USDA WASDE report, which raised forecasts for milk and dairy product prices due to slower growth in the U.S. dairy herd. However, moderating feed costs are expected to lead to growth in the dairy herd next year. Meanwhile, medium-term forecasts project heat to intensify across the plains and western Midwest over the second half of July into early August, which may compromise cow comfort and lead to lower milk production. “As expected, USDA raised their forecast for corn ending stocks in the July WASDE report following a June 30 acreage report that revealed higher planted area. While new-crop corn ending stocks were revised up 73 million bushels from June to 2.081 bil-
lion, the figure was almost 100 million below the average trade estimate as increased demand offset some of the higher production forecast. USDA projected Brazil’s corn crop down 7.5 million tons from their previous estimate, which will translate to higher U.S. corn exports in both the old-crop and new-crop marketing years. Strong demand for soybeans led to similar projections in its balance sheet, with higher exports and crush mitigating some of the impact from increased production.” ■ In politics, National Milk endorsed Senate Bill 3248 that would “help dairy farmers increase their investment in technologies that can improve water and air quality and maximize the value of nutrients.” The bill mirrors legislation passed by the House.

Enroll to protect milk margins ST. PAUL, Minn. — The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Farm Service Agency in Minnesota recently announced that dairy producers can enroll for 2017 coverage in the Margin Protection Program for Dairy until Sept. 30. The voluntary program, established by the 2014 farm bill, provides financial assistance to participating dairy producers when the margin (the difference between the price of milk and feed costs) falls below the coverage level selected by the producer. The MPP gives participating dairy producers the flexibility to select coverage levels best suited for their operation. Participating farmers will remain in the program through 2018 and pay a minimum $100 administrative fee each year. Producers have the option of selecting a different coverage level during open enrollment each year. USDA has a web tool to help producers determine the level of coverage under the Margin Protection Program that will provide them with the strongest safety net under a variety of conditions. The online resource is at www.fsa.usda.gov/mpptool. It
allows dairy farmers to quickly and easily combine unique operation data and other key variables to calculate their coverage needs based on price projections. Producers can also review historical data or estimate future coverage needs, based on data projections. The secure site can be accessed via computer, Smartphone or tablet 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To complete enrollment, producers must make coverage elections during the enrollment period and pay the annual $100 administrative fee which provides basic catastrophic protection covering 90 percent of milk production at a $4 margin coverage level. For additional premiums, operations can protect 25 to 90 percent of production history with margin coverage levels from $4.50 to $8, in 50 cent increments. Once enrolled, dairy operations are required to participate through 2018 by making coverage elections each year. Visit FSA at www.fsa.usda.gov/dairy or stop by your local FSA office to learn more.

Q: How does crop insurance for American agriculture compare with crop insurance elsewhere? Splettstaszer: American crop insurance programs are the gold standard of all insurance programs. The coverage level for our producers compared to other countries and the procedures that we use to arrive at our indemnities are also much superior. We’re constantly getting questions from insurance companies in other countries. Q: Here in the Midwest, are farmers selective about what crops to insure? Splettstaszer: On the all-risk multi-peril program, you have to insure all the acres of a specific crop in a county but they don’t have to insure all of their crops. Most do however. On the hail side, which is a complete stand alone private program without federal government involvement, farmers select whatever crop they choose. It most likely is both corn and soybeans, but seldom includes small grain. Q: With the farm economy being squeezed very hard this year, are you guys in the crop insurance business finding it harder to also make a buck? Splettstaszer: Yes, but this is a weather-driven industry too. Crop insurance becomes even more critical the tighter the margins of crop farming. The farmer has to protect that shrinking margin as best as he can. 2015 was an excellent crop yield for farmers and also a good year for us in the crop insurance business. 2012 was just a complete disaster for everybody — farmers and insurers. That year, crop insurance saved a lot of producers from going bankrupt. ❖

compared with five years ago? Splettstaszer: Costs are always based on loss experience. Premiums will go up and down accordingly, especially if there are a number of claims on crop hail. So this means premiums will change from area to area and areas of higher crop hail risk carry a higher premium than low risk areas. Q: With tighter margins in crop farming what’s the buy-in of crop insurance these days? Splettstaszer: Very high. Over the past 10 years, the percentage of producers using crop insurance has risen dramatically. It consistently scores in the high 90 percentiles, particularly under the multiperil program. The reality is that most producers can’t afford not to be insured anymore because of the high costs of crop production. Also, most farm lenders now consider crop insurance as the necessary collateral before they write loans with farmers. Q: What’s the attitude of farmers towards their crop insurance adjusters? Splettstaszer: Perhaps like most service industries, in general the cooperation between the adjuster and the insured is very good as long as the adjuster does a good job of explaining the policy and the procedures. We as an industry have very few problems with our agricultural clientele. Q: After a hail storm, who makes the first call — farmers or adjuster? Splettstaszer: It’s the responsibility of the policy holder to report the claim to his local agent who then, in turn, will report it up through the system. On hail damage, we typically wait seven to 10 days before we actually go out and look at the damage. It’s important to give the plant some reactive time to do see what it’s going to do. That benefits the insurer because he needs to know if there is good recovery, partial recovery or no recovery. A fair and equitable

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer LAMBERTON, Minn. — The best way to catch up with what’s going on in crop insurance world is to catch a training information session with a group of adjusters. I just happened to be at the University of Minnesota Southwest Research Mark and Outreach Station in Lamber- Splettstaszer ton while the Great American Crop Insurance adjusters were in session. I grabbed Mark Splettstaszer for a quick interview. Splettstaszer is a divisional assistant vice-president in claims, working out of Lawrence, Kan. Q. What’s going on here today? Splettstaszer: This is a group of adjusters from Great American Insurance Company. This is part of our annual continuing education crop hail adjusting program. We come here to the Southwest station because it is so convenient to look at individual plants in their special plots. They have a hail simulator machine which is quite excellent for seeing closely the effects of hail storm damage. This machine is provided through National Crop Insurance Services which is a national association that all the crop insurance companies belong to. Q: Tell us about Great American Insurance Company. Splettstaszer: We’re a nationwide company headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, and one of the major underwriters in America. The station here at Lamberton has been one of the prominent research facilities that the industry has used over the years. The core crops of corn, soybeans and small grains have a lot of research behind them so any procedure changes are adjusted from research here at the station and other locations. Q: Any crops that you don’t cover? Splettstaszer: On the crop hail side, very few. We even are now writing coverage on some of the vegetable crops around the Twin Cities because of the influx of farm to market activities. Yes, we do have insurance for vineyards, especially in the heavy grape growing regions of California, Oregon, and Washington. Major companies also contract with the federal government to administer an all-risk program called Multi-Peril Crop Insurance and vineyards are part of that program.

High tech studies lead to maximizing corn yields By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer SPRING VALLEY, Minn. — Fred Below, crop technologist from the University of Illinois, gets a corn farmer’s attention when he states that during a 21-day period when corn just starts flowering (tasseling), nitrogen uptake is Fred Below more than 7 pounds per. That’s sucking up about 150 pounds of nitrogen in three weeks. Below’s talking high technology corn production with projected goals of 220 bushels per acre or more and the crop is fertilized accordingly. His seven-year data speaks for itself: 181 bushels per acre at 32,000 plants per acre in 30-inch rows for standard corn production versus 231 bushels per acre in their “High Tech” program and 20-inch rows. Young corn plants set their fertility appetite at an early age Below told his audience at the Leaders of In-Furrow Technology (LIFT) Summit in Spring Valley. He advised “Feed the plant; not the soil.” He noted his trials have produced the highest yield when seed is within 3 inches of the fertilizer band. “Most corn roots expand only 6 inches horizontally,” Below stated, “so position your starter fertilizer in close proximity to those newly-planted seeds.” Relating to the great corn yields of 2015, Below said yields from their standard plots were 189 bu./acre but the ‘high tech’ plots yielded 251 bu./acre which is 62 bushels better. “The point simply being that when we plug in all seven factors of high yield production,” Below said, “about the only challenge to those 250 bushel yields is the weather. Year in, year out, weather is the single biggest factor in maximizing corn yields. We’re also learning that row width, specifically narrow 20-inch
I’m convinced each seed has a 600-bushel potential and its all ‘down hill’ after we plant the seed. So these new products relating to in-furrow technology to get that seed off to a good start is really the starting gate for greater yields. — Fred Below rows, are a definite winner over 30-inch rows.” How do Below and his University of Illinois crew go about ranking the five inputs critical to highest yields? Or as he puts it, “How do you identify that money-losing slacker? Is each input worth 10 bushels?” Some factors are worth more than others, Below explained. “We want to indentify the superstar … such as a LeBron James on your basketball team. We use a new rendition of an experimental design that we call the Omission Addition plot,” He said. “Again, using the basketball scenario, we replace each pro player with a high school player and we quickly see how the high school player drags down the performance of the rest of the team (hence the name Omission Plot). By the same token, if I position one pro player (special input factor) on the high school team, we see the positive impact of that one additional input. We do that for every position on the team “This allows me to determine the relative value of each player and also determine the cost of omitting that player from the high tech package. In most cases,

the cost of omitting that single factor from the high tech package way exceeds the value of adding it alone. “This is the synergy that you see from combining individual factors into a package.” For the past two years, 20-inch rows have been the most valuable player, said Below. “Not so much on the standard input plots, but most certainly on the high tech plots. Last year, the high tech plots yielded 62 bushels more,” he said. “But if I omitted that in-furrow starter fertilizer input, I lost 32 bushels. And if I went to 30-inch rows with all those inputs I’d have lost another 32 bushels. Again, it’s not what you do. It’s what you don’t do that kills you.” Below indicated those high yields are mostly what you do in the feeding, protecting and managing of more plants. For 2106, his modification to his high tech plots is in-furrow placing of his starter fertilizer plus Xanthium — an in-furrow fungicide enhancing cold tolerance and reducing uneven emergence. He emphasized there is no one thing that gets you to 300-bushel yields. It’s a system of different inputs and timing of some of those inputs. “High yields aren’t an accident. They only happen with careful planting and precise application. I’m convinced we’re going to have to plant in 20-inch rows. There’s no doubt more plants per acre and better distribution with narrow rows are key building blocks,” he said. “Fertility and protection of the plant right from the start sets the trajectory for high yields.” Below shared additional thoughts in a brief Q & A. Q: Strip tillage is getting a bigger play with more farmers. How does tillage rank in your High Tech trials? Below: I didn’t mention tillage today. It ranks number six in my listing of the seven wonders of high-yield corn. Continuous corn works, but that tremendous amount of surface residue slows the entry of water into the soil profile and often interferes with emergence. So strip tillage is a way to combine the benefits of conservation tillage while also getting more uniform and rapid emergence. Q: Are genetics playing even more of a role in this quest for 300-bushel yields? Below: The genetic potential is sort of out of control these days. Today they have marker assisted plant breeding that really can increase the genetic potential of the corn plant. I’m convinced each seed has a 600-bushel potential and its all ‘down hill’ after we plant the seed. So these new products relating to in-furrow technology to get that seed off to a good start is really the starting gate for greater yields. You don’t want to get your crop behind the eight-ball that first month and then spend the rest of the season trying to make up yield. Q. Are cover crops a potential important input in building corn yields? Below: Cover crops are much more of a geographical issue — depending upon whether there is enough time to establish a cover crop and which crop or mixSee CORN YIELDS, pg. 23A
2016 corn yields shaping up to be as good as last year what winter weather will be and what spring conditions are going to be and I can comfortably tell you whether fall tillage should be on your agenda. Fall tillage is all about managing residue and properly preparing that seed bed so that it warms rapidly when spring arrives. Fred Below can be reached at fbelow@illinois.edu.

Recycle pesticide containers As the season progresses and crop protection products are applied, the handling and disposal of those pesticide containers deserve some attention. Emptying and cleaning the containers is very important. Take time to thoroughly empty and rinse used containers to ensure you get the benefit of all the product you paid for and reduce the chance for non-target exposures and environmental contamination. Liquid products should be thoroughly drained into the spray tank and the container should be rinsed immediately — adding the rinsate directly back into the spray tank. If containers are not rinsed soon after emptying, the remaining product can turn into a dried, caked residue which is extremely difficult or
impossible to clean. Pressure or triple rinse containers to make sure they are thoroughly cleaned. Clean containers up to 55 gallons can be recycled for free through a program sponsored by the Ag Container Recycling Council. In 2015, 10,440,000 pounds of pesticide containers were collected and recycled in the United States through the program. Wear appropriate protective gear when mixing, loading, and rinsing containers. Never reuse a pesticide container for another purpose. For more information and a recycling site near you, visit www.acrecycle.org.

this activity in your soil then a possible slight increase in OM is the net result. And that is good. Q: Is fall tillage a waste of time or an important tool in growing high yields? Below: This is one of those ‘it depends’ questions. It depends on the field, the topography of the land, the available time after harvest, and to some extent even the yield of the crop. With high yields you have lots of residue that needs to be managed. Tell me
THE LAND, JULY 29, 2016
CORN YIELDS from pg. 22A ture of cover crop seeds works best. It’s one of those ‘it depends’ crops. It depends on the weather, the individual farming practice, how much that farmer is willing to learn and stick with it. It’s sort of the same mental transition in going from tillage to notill. It has to be part of a system that you have learned and intend to stick with it. Q: Was 2015 one of those simply exceptional crop production years or can 2016 be a repeat? Below: I’m an optimist. Already I think 2016 is shaping up to be as good and possibly better. The problem in much of the Corn Belt in 2015 was too much rain. That can happen again quickly, but so far it hasn’t been much of a problem. The weather during pollination will be the telling factor but the crop I am seeing here in late June has a lot of yield potential. Q: What can you share about Levesol? Below: Chelates have been on the market for some time, but not all chelates are created equal. Levesol has been around since the ’60s, but got shelved and is now being reintroduced. It is unique because it lasts longer in the soil and apparently functions even better when furrow-applied. It solubilizes a bit better. If you think of organic matter, which I describe as ‘the mother’s milk of soil’, the chelates are a supplementation to the soil organic matter. So if Levesol extends

During the dinner the board will recognize the Young Farmer of the Year, the Farm Family of the Year, and the Communicator of the Year. County Extension offices from throughout the region nominated candidates for the awards. While banquet tickets are $20, the Expo itself is free to attend and Masching hopes attendance is not just limited to farmers. “How we take care of our land is important to everyone,” he said. “Sometimes farmers get a bad rap for chemicals and smell and polluting. We’re nothing without good land. This is a chance for people to come and see what’s being done.” ❖

O
ver a decade ago, before land stewardship and water quality were common phrases, a handful of men began examining how manure was being applied to fields and wondering if there was a better, safer way. Through time, those efforts evolved and expanded into what today is known as the Southern Minnesota Land Use Expo. The 2016 edition of the event takes place Aug. 9 and 10 at a site just east of Blooming Prairie on State Highway 30. Up to this point, the Expo has had a nomadic existence — setting up camp wherever a suitable field was available. Expo organizers hope the present location has staying power. And for good reason. Not only is there plenty of acreage for demonstrations and a trade show, but the property butts against a small lake which comes in handy for the seminar on land use and water quality.
Other seminars scheduled during the Expo include a nitrogen study, cover crops, manure application and estate and succession planning. The first day closes with a legislative session featuring local, state and possibly even national politicians. “We want to have something for everyone,” said Jim Masching who serves as president of the Land Use Expo board of directors. It looks like the board has achieved its goal. In addition to all of the scheduled seminars, the Expo will feature the “Evolution of Agriculture” — a collection of various machinery farmers have used over the years. New machinery will be available for viewing as well. About $6 million of equipment will be on display. A large sweet corn field on the prop-

Marketing Because of the reputation of Snake River Farm, every animal is pre-sold. There is no carry-over inventory. His customers determine his starting numbers each season because he only stocks what his customers tell him they will be buying. With bison, the farm raises 450-500pound yearlings on perennial forage pastures which can include a mixture of legumes such as clovers, alfalfa and vetches — plus forbs, several different flowering species which might number up to 40 different species. “The bison and the beef eat these flowering plants in small quantities purposely,” said Barthel. “I think we’ve fooled ourselves. These animals do not want a monoculture. They graze with diversity. They’ll take two mouthfuls of a particular flowering plant, then a mouthful of another plant, then a mouthful of clover, and even go over and take the top of a milkweed — which is toxic. But they gobble it down purposely. They eat much different than we think if they are given choices. “Bison meat really seems to be capturing more consumer attention,” Barthel said. “It might be a stretch to say it is now recognized as a health food, but paying attention to your customer’s taste trends is always the first rule in making direct marketing work for you.” His bison count decreased by one for
the National Bison Association Summer Conference at Elk River. A unique bison versus beef carcass-cutting demonstration was one of the unusual live presentations. Two talented meat cutters explained the why and where of each cut and the resulting preparation for the home grill. Snake River Farm also hosts various youth and adult attractions.

better because of the diversity of the mixture out there.” Pigs on pasture Barthel experiments on his farm. He has pasture-raised pigs; but those pig pastures are rotated every two to three days. “I don’t let them start eating down into the root structure,” he said. “That leads to the natural instinct of a pig — rooting.” And he doesn’t feed corn to his pigs. “Corn is great if you want to finish your pigs fast. But I like a slowergrowing animal. The added maturity improves the taste,” said Barthel. “Even the fat flavor is better. My customers talk of a different, softer texture which makes a better lard — a more useable lard.” He calls corn a “hot feed” and when minimizing the time to market is important, corn is the right choice. “But I wanted to improve their life and produce tasty animals,” Barthel explained. “So I use oats just to slow the growth rate. Oats make me feel better when I eat it. The pig has a similar simple stomach so I believe it experiences the same good feeling.” Barthel grows his pigs big — up to 450 pounds live weight! And longer — average age is about 8-1/2 months. Average hanging weight on his hogs last year was 260 pounds. Because of their pasture existence without corn, these animals are well muscled and lean. Bison or grass-fed beef used to be the mainstay of his retail meat business. However, even though he never

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer BECKER, Minn. — Tom Barthel’s business card reads: “Bison, Cattle, Hogs and Damn Fine Horses”. His 225-acre farm called Snake River Farm is near Becker on the Anoka Sand Plain. His soils need lots of “tender loving care” and perennial prairie plants and native grasses have been the recipe that works best. But those soils got a bunch better when his animals started grazing those depleted upland pastures. Barthel is chief caretaker for this unique assembly of crops and animals on land settled by Scandinavian farmers about 1900. He keeps promising his wife he intends to make things easier each year. But the fact that Snake River Farm direct sells to over 400 customer families doesn’t exactly sound like a cake walk. “We keep only as many animals as our grazing land can handle,” said Barthel. Talk about a menu that squeaks with variety. For 2015, Snake River Farm harvested 16 bison, 113 beef cattle, 138 hogs, 600 chickens, 70 ducks, 12 geese, 42 turkeys and 50 rabbits! “We also keep 10 horses for enjoyment and for farm work,” added Barthel. “Most of our horses are Mustangs trained to ride and drive. All our animals live in low stress, natural environment. They are in herds or flocks that meet their social needs and are rotated through more than 70 pastures.” At 70, Barthel seems to thrive on this mixture of species and crops. “I love farming and improving the land. Getting this Anoka Sand’s soils to be productive has been very rewarding. Raising such an interesting variety of animals is also rewarding,” said Barthel. “Our biggest joy is our customers just love the meat from these animals. Our livestock are pastureraised plus some oats. We use a broad mix of plants including legumes which I’ve found are crucial to the restoration of organic matter and fertility.” Interseeding is really paying off in terms of an earlier and longer-lasting grazing season. “Improving your grasslands is the key to making pasture production really work,” Barthel said. “And the beauty is these pastures keep getting

Hemp pilot project underway across Minnesota By TIM KING The Land Correspondent ST. PAUL — This summer, legal industrial hemp will be growing in small quantities in some Minnesota fields for the first time in 60 years, thanks to a bill passed by the 2015 Minnesota Legislature. There were eight responses to a Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s formal “Request for Participation” in an industrial hemp pilot project authorized by the 2015 Minnesota Industrial Hemp Development Act. The Request for Participation was posted on MDA’s website between late February and April 30, according to Assistant Commissioner of Agriculture Andrea Vaubel. Minnesota’s pilot program, and the Industrial Hemp Development Act (IHDA), received the green light from the federal government in the 2014 farm bill. The IHDA in turn authorized the MDA to proceed with a pilot project for research purposes. Seven of the eight responses to the Request for Participation were accepted by the department, according to Vaubel. “We’ve doing everything from yield
analysis to folks who are looking to process hemp for use with construction materials,” Vaubel said. “Market analysis is part of it as well. We’ve asked all of our pilot producers to provide reports back on their market analysis. Part of the reasoning behind this pilot project is to find out what the market viability industrial hemp is.” Vaubel has not responded to repeated requests for a list of the seven successful Request for Participation applicants. “I don’t know if you have to have a data request for that,” she said in a telephone interview. “Let me get back to you. It’s not that I don’t want to be transparent; but I want to be sure we’re not going against any sort of legal thing.” The six page Request for Participation document was drafted by MDA staff and an Industrial Hemp Advisory Committee made up of representatives from law enforcement agencies, labor unions, the Farm Bureau, Minnesota Farmers Union, and Minnesota Crop Improvement Association. It lays out in detail what must be included in the RFP including a written description of seed and field security measures.
Vaubel has also declined to provide the names of the steerring committee members. “It was just sort of a hodge podge of people that we put together internally just to help us figure out some parts of implementing the pilot program,” she said. “It wasn’t like an official one that was filed through the Secretary of State’s Office or anything like that. It still sort of exists. We just kind of meet as we need. We met once so far.” MDA has met with and signed a memorandum of understanding with all of the applicants except the one whose request failed, according to Vaubel. “The one we didn’t accept wasn’t very complete and we didn’t have confidence that it would be successful this growing season” Vaubel said. “We encouraged them to apply again next year.” Vaubel said it was a scramble for MDA staff to get the RFP written and posted in time for this year’s growing season. Even though industrial hemp is significantly lower in psychoactive ingredients than is its cousin marijuana, obtaining the necessary permits from the U.S. Drug Enforcement

Agency was particularly time consuming, she said. Industrial hemp is regulated by the U.S. Controlled Substances Act. “They wanted to view where we would store the seed,” Vaubel said. “They wanted certain security precautions. Folks in the department that would be handling the seeds had to submit to an FBI background check. We had to provide documentation on where it would be stored and who would be handling the seed.” Pilot program participants had hurdles also. They can’t purchase their hemp seed in the United States. As a consequence, the seed is imported from Canada. Canada has had a legal industrial hemp program for the last 18 years. Canadian hemp seed costs approximately $2.50 per pound, according to a representative from Parkland Industrial Hemp Growers Cooperative in Dauphin, Manitoba. “The seed that comes from Canada into the U.S. will come to our lab and then the pilot producer will have to come and pick up the seed from us,” Vaubel said. “There will be random testing of seed for all of our pilot pro-

Industrial hemp has a 0.3 percent or lower level of THC “We have to do each permit separately,” Vaubel said. “The producers send it to us and we send it to DEA. We have to get all the information. Where you’re going to get the seed from, how many bags, how much it weighs and then we submit that to the DEA. They are kind of backlogged because quite a few states passed their own pilot programs.

“We hope too have an RFP for the 2017 grrowing season available by this fall,” she said. “We’re really looking forward to seeing whether or not this crop is viable here. We are really confident that it will be a good thing for Minnesota farmers.” For security reasons, locations of fields of industrial hemp will only be known by local law enforcement, MDA, and the DEA, according to Vaubel. Under the Industrial Hemp Development Act, all of the fields in Minnesota are experimental and no hemp will be sold. ❖

Outside folks are going to be doing the testing and they will test plants once they flower.” THC is the psychoactive component of marijuana and hemp and the 0.3 percent or lower level of THC is what differentiates industrial hemp from marijauna. As of July 19, five producers had gotten seed in the ground.

Book revisits 1983 killing of rural Minn. bankers By TIM KING The Land Correspondent The question that a Lincoln County, Minnesota jury faced in April 1984 was whether teenager Steven Jenkins had shot Rudolph Blythe and Deems Thulin or whether his father James killed the Ruthton bankers. The jury eventually found that Steven did the killing. Minnesota author Joseph Amato, in his 1988 book “When Father and Son Conspire: A Minnesota Farm Murder,” meticulously explores the territory that the jury explored. He rebuilds the case for the prosecution by taking the reader deep into the backgrounds of this odd couple, Steven and James Jenkins. But Amato goes yet deeper. He asks if this double murder was a symptom of the farm crisis that was ripping apart the already decimated rural landscape or were James and Steven unbalanced sociopaths? Amato concludes that the two were not really farmers. Or, at best, occasional but inept farmers. He shows that their lives were out of control and their grip on reality was tenuous. This, not the crisis in the agricultural economy, brought them to kill. There were those who claimed the killings were a symptom of the farm crisis that was then occasionally turning violent. They claimed that the Jenkins were the forefront of a rural uprising preparing to strike back at foreclosing banks and insurance companies. New York Times reporter and author Andrew Malcolm was among those that believed Steven was a sort of rural rebel. On the day of Steven’s guilty verdict Malcolm acknowledged that Steven was so strange that he slept with the rifle that killed Blythe and Thulin. He also wrote: “The case and the two-and-a-halfweek trial have been closely watched across this agricultural region where
frustrated farmers experience mounting financial difficulties, as do their main creditors, the smalltown local banks.” Another believer in the coming of the rebellion was Jim Langman, of the American Agriculture Movement. “I think the slayings were symbolic and should send a message to the nation that lenders have to work things out on a long-term basis,” Langman said, according to Amato. Throughout his book, as he follows James and Steven from Minnesota to Ohio to Texas and back to Minnesota, Amato is in argument with Malcolm and those that would see these as farm crisis killings. “How was anyone to believe that a farmer, who cared about his animals and wanted a farm and a home, would take his son with him to kill — or would allow or order his son to murder two men,” Amato asks. Neither Amato nor big media recognized Steven Jenkins for who he was because he was a new species of human. We would recognize Steven now, although we have not yet named him anything other than a mass shooter. The likes of him have since been seen at Columbine in Colorado in 1999, in Minnesota at Cold Spring in 2003 and Red Lake in 2005, at Sandy Hook elementary school in Connecticut in 2012, and more frequently since. We’d recognize Steven today. When the 18-year old turned himself in to a sheriff’s dispatcher in Paducah, Texas, he had in his father’s pickup enough
armaments to support the invasion of a small country. There was a .410 shotgun with a bayonet affixed to it. There was the M-1 carbine that he used to kill the bankers. It too had a bayonet attached to it. He had a pistol, a machete, three hand grenades, two walkie-talkies and a large supply of ammunition. “The first newspaper photographs taken of Steven in custody showed a young man, who looked like a captured war prisoner,” Amato writes of the high school drop-out. “Steven was approximately five feet ten inches tall, thin, gaunt, and dark. A shadow seemed to cover his face. Sporting a short crew cut, he was dressed in military fatigues. He wore a tee shirt. Steven had tattoos on both arms. On his right arm — telling the world he was a serious soldier — he had a skull
with a beret. On his left arm — revealing both the hunter and boy he was — he a had a picture of Sylvester the Cat pursuing little Tweety-Bird.” Amato explores who this complex soldier-boy is. He also explores whom the father is that Steven is so closely attached to. And he explores the entire cast of this remarkable drama. There is Steven’s mother Darlene who, divorced from James, may have perjured herself to protect her son. There is the welleducated 6-foot-4-inch tall prosecuting attorney Thomas Fabel from the Minnesota Attorney General’s office in St. Paul. There is Darlene’s employer and later, boyfriend Louis Taveirne. Amato spends extensive time telling readers about Steven’s fascinating defense attorney. “Swen Anderson was the region’s most controversial attorney,” Amato writes of the Swedish-American attorney from Granite Falls who eventually adopted Steven Jenkins. “By all measures of dress, appearance, speech, and manners, Anderson was one of a kind. He was a big man with a large face. He walked and stood as if he were off balance. His head, face, and shoulders were in constant motion, as court artists were often heard to complain during the trial. He often — some would say always — talked loudly, very loudly. On occasion he was profane, seeming to be as profane as a man could get.” Amato’s telling of this tragic tale is a gripping, compelling, non-fiction pageturner. That in itself makes it worth reading or re-reading. When he wrote it in 1988 the questions Amato raised about the motivations of the killings were timely. They still are. But more importantly, his thoughtful and detailed analysis of Steven Jenkins and his family can give us an insight into our own times and our own questions. “When Father and Son Conspire: A Minnesota Farm Murder” can be found on Amazon.com. ❖

Salad days: These cherries were the pits during calving There are certain things that the woman of the farm learns as she goes along. Some of those things are assumed — such as how to cook meals that don’t look like they were prepared in a dehydrator by the time her family finally gets in to eat at night; that given the right tools and TABLE TALK a pair of gloves, she can do combat with an occupied By Karen Schwaller mouse trap — emptying it and re-loading it for the next ambush; and that timing is everything when barnyard mothers and human mothers clash in an effort to just take care of their families. It’s always an exciting time on the farm (if not exhausting) during those weeks when farm babies are showing up. Checking on impending moms and babies all day long, helping babies get started eating, getting up at night to check them, and not always being able to get back to sleep if you have the middle-of-the-night check. And still working the next day. I’ve always been amazed at the manner in which ewes and cows can have their young ones. We’ve seen them stand there and let the baby come out
If you’re helpig a cow have her calf, it can be quite a production. ... And for the farmer, the job of seeing the process through isn’t complete until everything is out — babies and all the rest of it.
thing — including meal planning. A few short years ago, when our sons’ cows were calving, I found myself short on time, patience and ingredients to create a nice meal with all that had gone on that week. When I finally figured out what we were having, I decided to toss together a quick, rich and filling salad by combining some cherry gelatin with some cherry pie filling and putting it in the fridge to set. When we all finally sat down to supper that night, our sons each scooped some of the salad onto their plates. Pretty soon the “looks” followed, along with muffled snickers as they inspected the salad on their plates. As mothers do, I got my look together that said, “What?!” One had texted the other under the table to say he couldn’t eat it because “...it looked like cow cleanings.” “I can’t eat it right now. Not while we’re calving,” one of them said to me, trying to mask his urge to burst out laughing and not wanting to offend me. Oh, for heaven’s sake. I wondered how many farm mothers had heard that one. Of course, I did make that salad again over the years, but not for our family. I knew the conversation
and plop onto the straw bedding below, then turn around so nonchalantly to investigate what just went on back there. I’ve wondered what’s gone on behind me plenty of times, but never during childbirth. If you’re helping a cow have her calf, it can be quite a production. You want to help the calf land as safely as possible from about chest high, while falling back and doing the fastest backwards-scramble ever to steer clear of all that follows. And for the farmer, the job of seeing the process through isn’t complete until everything is out — babies and all the rest of it. The busy-ness of that time of year leaks over into all of the family, as chores become more labor-intense and time-consuming, and their lives as they once knew them are usually absorbed in all that it takes to expand the herds. There is less time for everySee SCHWALLER, pg. 7B
SCHWALLER, from pg. 6B that would follow if I set it on the table again, calving season or not. The year our sons began living on their own, I made cookbooks for them for Christmas — filled with many of the recipes I knew they liked and would actually have time to make as busy bachelor farmers. I included that recipe, if only to bring back a memory that we have all laughed at over the years. I gave it a new name, calling it (appropriately for them), “Cow Cleanings Salad.” I’m hazarding a guess that they’ve never made it. At least not during calving season. Timing is everything. And now you don’t have to learn it as you go, like I did. Karen Schwaller brings “Table Talk” to The Land from her home near Milford, Iowa. She can be reached at kschwaller@evertek.net. ❖

Book looks at dog industry: breeders, auctions, market You’ve been saving for months. Every extra penny, every found dollar, money earmarked for splurging, it all went in an account — and all because you saw a little furry face in a picture online. You’ve always been a “dog person” and this one was instant love. Now read “The Dog Merchants” by Kim Kavin, and be careful where you get him. Free puppies. You used to see lots of those ads in the newspaper. People used to put signs up on their lawns: free puppies. Take one, make a friend. Take two, twice the fun. Nowadays though, getting a dog is a matter of taking out your wallet, says Kim Kavin. Whether you pay a breeder, a pet store, or a fee at a shelter, dogs are now an $11 billion commodity, complete with a marketplace and big corporations which succeed on four-footed cuteness overload. But what does that do to dogs? To find out, Kavin — who says she’s “on the side of the dogs” — started
