We farmers try our best to control them in our fields and pastures but it is near impossible with the seed bank being

‘Star Trek’ meets butter at the Iowa State Fair Butter is going space age. As a tribute to the 50th anniversary of the popular TV series and films, “Star Trek” sculptures will join the 2016 Butter Cow in the John Deere Agriculture Building. In celebration of the new movie “Star Trek Beyond,” long-time butter sculptor, Sarah Pratt, will be sculpting Captain Kirk, Spock, Dr. McCoy and Uhura in two scenes on the bridge, along with a model of the starship USS Enterprise.

The first Butter Cow was created in 1911 and since 1996 companion sculptures have joined the famous butter cow. Previous butter sculptures have included Grant Wood’s American Gothic, Garth Brooks, The Last Supper, Superman, Shawn Johnson and the 80th anniversary of Monopoly in 2015. Sarah Pratt, the current sculptor, took over for Duffy Lyon in 2006 after 15 years as her apprentice. Follow the Butter Cow on twitter at @ISF_ButterCow throughout the Fair.

Other Agriculture Building exhibits and demonstrations include giant pumpkins, jumbo fruits and vegetables, the Discovery Garden, and daily stage presentations.

The Butter Cow will be on display in the 112-year old John Deere Agriculture Building from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily during the Iowa State Fair. ❖

Mother Nature is best partner in bison farming By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer ELK RIVER, Minn. — Dave Carter, of Westminster, Colo., partners with two other ranchers in eastern Colorado running about 200 mother bisons on a non-profit operation of about 8,000 acres called the Plains Conservation Dave Carter Center which is dedicated to restoring the natural prairie ecosystem. Former executive director of the National Bison Association, he attended the National Bison Summer Conference held in Elk River. “When you’re geared to restoring the prairies, bison can play an important role. So we have grazing rights on this land,” explained Carter. Rotational grazing is their strategy with various paddocks enrolled with the Savory Institute, an organization promoting the restoration of grasslands. “We have a great calf crop though we won’t have final count until the roundup this fall. We had a mild winter, great moisture this spring which gave us a good grass crop. So things are simply looking very good for our bison operation,” said Carter. Breeding Surprisingly, birth weights are only 40-50 pounds. “We stress that we haven’t tinkered with the genetics of this animal. We’re not into cross breeding. Or getting some bigger bulls out there. We don’t breed to get bigger than Mother Nature intended,” said Carter. “So for us, calving season is a good time to go fishing. Our cows get along just fine and frankly don’t want anyone around when calving. Just leave a cow alone and she and her cow friends do very well.” Calves are up within a half hour after birth ready

to suckle. Bison have a natural instinct to protect each other. Usually three or four other females hang around the new mother to provide protection against predators that might be lurking. “These other cows will even lick the newborn calf and help it get up on wobbly legs and moving with the others,” Carter said. “It’s a remarkable thing to behold — the comradeship these critters have for each other. Little wonder they numbered into the tens of thousands before the onslaught of us gun-toting white men rambling the prairies. Bison have an incredible social structure.” About 30 million bison existed 150 years ago in North America. The current count is roughly 600,000. A bison will live into their 20s, said Carter, noting that a young female is 3 years old before her first calving. Over the course of her life she will produce about twice as many calves than a domestic cow. Carter and his partners don’t artificially inseminate, preferring the natural mating process to maintain a diverse gene pool amongst their cows. “You start AI’ing animals and suddenly you have a super bull somewhere and everyone is buying those straws of semen,” Carter explained. “That’s when you start shrinking that genetic pool. With natural mating, our bulls do some sorting too. So do the cows. They just aren’t ready to be mounted by the first bull that comes sniffing.” While the ranchers do want calves that are rapid growers, they don’t want big calves that could generate birthing problems, explained Carter. Very few bison producers castrate their bull calves. “It’s illegal to use growth hormones in bison,” said Carter. “Instead we just let them provide their own.” Ranching Carter sees a real advantage to raising bison, listing these points. “We don’t AI; we don’t castrate; we don’t dehorn; we don’t brand them. This doesn’t mean they are a no-maintenance animal. You watch your herd. But it’s not an animal that demands attention very day,” he said. “You need good fencing, but it doesn’t need to

be Alcatraz. “Our important pasture strategy is good grass, good water and the right social mixture. That means the right mixture between males and females. That means enough females for the bulls and vice-versa for the females. Keep those three factors in place and your herd isn’t wanting to roam.” Bison can handle a Minnesota winter. “The winter hardiness of bison is remarkable. You get a blizzard that roars through eastern Colorado and the last thing I worry about is how are my cows doing,” he said. He advises would-be bison growers not to be concerned about sheds and barns. “Instead, spend on handling facilities — the squeeze shoot, your corral, your fences,” Carter said. “That’s where your investment dollars should go because frankly these animals never like to be inside.” Support for bison The National Bison Association numbers about 1,100 members scattered across the country. “We have members in 49 states,” said Carter. “We need someone in Vermont to join us so that national label is exactly what it says.” According to U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 2012 Census of Agriculture, there are about 2,000 producers nationwide. USDA census records farms as small as only two or three bison. The National Bison Association represents over 80 percent of the bison meat that goes into the marketplace. Carter did express concern over climate change to warmer and wetter seasons along with less grazing landscapes. “Climate change is happening and with warmer climates we will have smaller animals. We even see that today in our various production herds. The woods bison in Canada tend to be a larger animal than the plains bison down here,” Carter explained. “But we also are seeing that our commercial herds here in Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota, where you have the hard winters and the hard grasses, are bigger than our plains buffalo. Also, new commercial herds in Mississippi and Florida do well down there but they certainly don’t grow as big.” For some producers, the trend to a smaller animal might make good economical sense. “That bigger cow eats more groceries (grassland) so just maybe targeting for a 900-pound cow might make you more money than our 1,100-pound cows,” Carter said. “Just like a corn farmer selling more bushels per acre, it’s pounds of meat per acre of grassland that pays the bills.” There are approximately 100 bison producers in Minnesota currently raising about 5,000 bison. Dave Carter was interviewed at the National Bison Summer Conference in Elk River, Minn., held June 20-23. He can be reached at dcarter@bisoncentral.com. To learn more, visit www.BisonCentral.com. ❖

THE LAND, AUGUST 12, 2016

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer ELK RIVER, Minn. — Attend any agricultural event these days and a new technology is inevitable. The National Bison Association Summer Conference in Elk River was no exception. Christine Su, founder and CEO of PastureMap, introduced a new application that can make your pasture maps extremely relevant and accurate. “It’s a grazing record-keeping software that works on your iPhone as well as your computer. You can go into your fields and pastures anytime and take photos that are geo-tagged — capturing GPS points on each paddock before and after each grazing move,” she explained. When to move? How many head? How long? How much? These are questions cattle ranchers often ask themselves as they make grazing rotation plans. Until now, the answers were mostly trial and error and from years of experience. PastureMap, a simpleto-use application developed by ranchers and Stanford University graduates, takes the guesswork out of the grazing process. PastureMap stores the data and GPS location of the photos taken outdoors, even without cell service. When ranchers get home, the program automatically syncs up with the internet and provides a map of all the records and photos on their desktop computer. It

Christine Su shows the PastureMap grazing recordkeeping software on her laptop computer. even allows producers to input herds and animal weights to calculate feed requirements and shows available grazing days for each herd in each field. “We’re all about helping ranchers save time, make the most out of their forage, and raise productivity while growing healthy grass and soil,” said Su. Su earned her degree in earth science and development of PastureMap was the end result. “We launched in the fall of 2015, working mostly with California cattle producers. Now I’m getting high interest with bison and cattle producers wherever I go,” she said. Understandably so since the preliminary buy-in for this new technology which photo maps the seasonal history of each of your pastures is free. “We also have several paid premium tiers that provide even more information on each of your grazing areas regardless how small,” Su explained. “These tiers provide data on your grazing animals, cattle or bison, on each of these subdivisions. So you are generating an incredible amount of information on each grazing pad which can then assist you in additional management strategies. For example, recovery days are color coded for each grazing paddock. So you get a very accurate measurement of recovery of the various species growing on each pasture which gives you needed information on what pasture vegetation recovers the most quickly.” PastureMap also can be used in rebuilding soil health. Su has Natural Resources Conservation Service collaboration in California which is pulling in U.S. Department of Agriculture soil maps which can then be integrated with the PastureMap program. Christine Su was interviewed at the National Bison Summer Conference, held June 20-23, in Elk River. To learn more, visit www.pasturemap.com.

American bison practiced sustainability for years

Nominate top milk quality dairy producers for award SPC averages, bulk tank SCC and SPC testing frequency, clinical mastitis incidence, culling data and cow deaths. Milk quality numbers are based on the 12-month period of June 1, 2015, through May 31, 2016. Judges will select approximately 50 finalists from the NDQA nominees. The finalists, along with their nominator, will complete a more detailed final application. From the finalists, judges will rank the dairy operations as Platinum, Gold or Silver. The Platinum winners receive national recognition and complimentary lodging, registration and a travel stipend to the National Mastitis Council’s annual meeting, which will take place Jan. 2931 at St. Pete Beach, Fla. This article was submitted by the National Mastitis Council. ❖

ery period for the American bison, the Army was stationed at Yellowstone to protect the bison. “My reason for that reference was to say that it takes a diverse community of people of different levels of commitment and opinion to actually make real change happen. We can’t rely upon government. We can’t rely on business alone, nor non-profits, nor individuals to do all this,” Mesko said. “The recovery of the bison was state legislation, federal legislation, the arts community, the Historical Society of America with the Smithsonian Institute, commerce between farmers and food providers, working more closely with the Native American population were just some of the many factors that enabled this major rebuilding of the American bison. Too often we simply say, ‘This is the way we’re going to do this’ without taking into account the total community.” Proof of what the 2016 Congress can do is the National Bison Legacy Act which has made the bison a national mammal. So it is now a symbol of our American heritage just like the Bald Eagle is a national symbol. “And that tells me that this Congress got the message that the bison is symbolic, also a national source of food which contributes to national security. Properly grazed and managed, bison can enhance the grasslands of America. Congress often says the right words in a proclamation, but does that message follow through in other legislation?” asked Mesko. John Mesko was a speaker at the National Bison Summer Conference held June 20-23 in Elk River. ❖

enue of your particular livestock pursuit, be that bison or cattle,” said Mesko. He assures the definition of sustainability is a better lifestyle because of more adroit usage of your resources. “Directing your efforts so that you are better off tomorrow than today is sustainability in a nut shell. I think sustainable agriculture has a bad rap because too many people look at sustainable farming practitioners and say, ‘I don’t want to live like that — small farms, old equipment, ragged appearances.’ But that’s not really sustainable so don’t use that image when you think sustainable agriculture,” he said. “We’re all about promoting true sustainability which means your community is better off, the individual farmer is better off. If any agricultural product is going to sustain in business it has to be profitable.” With water such a limiting factor in so many agricultural areas, Mesko questioned whether livestock farming should be minimized. “When the bison traveled the Great Plains in those large herds, they didn’t come back for a year or more to those same grazing areas,” he said. “Instinctively, they grazed the grass and kept right on going pursuing what nature provided in terms of water and grazing forages. In a sense, they practiced sustainability because it was necessary to survive.” U.S. symbol Speaking of Yellowstone National Park as a major homeland for hundreds of bison today, Mesko said that when Congress implemented a recov-

world is a limited set of resources,” Mesko explained, “then sustainability is really not possible. Because then all we are trying to do is hang on to these resources so that people can use them in the future. That next generation needs to have the same mind set if they intend to be sustainable. “Theodore Roosevelt, in 1910 talking at the Colorado Livestock Association, said the nation does well that passes on its resources to the next generation, especially if those resources are enhanced in the process. So when we talk about sustainability, I think we should use the term flourishing. We want to see the soil organic matter grow over time, not decrease. If, through your farming practices, you are decreasing the organic matter content of your soils, you are not sustainable. That is the bitter truth of sustainability.” In reference to grazing bison, Mesko explained managed grazing. This practice involves high intensity grazing for a short period of time with a long rest period in between each grazing. This method generally produces greater levels of organic matter; which in turn improves the water holding capacity of that soil and the nutrient capacity; which in turn produces more forage; which allows ranchers to put more animals out there the next time around. “It lets you increase the intensity of your grazing which increases the rev-

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer ELK RIVER, Minn. — John Mesko, executive director of the Sustainable Farming Association, shared the story of the bison from near demise to recovery that includes many new bison producers scattered across the United States. Private herds, with the majority located in the Great Plains, are producing bison meat that is popular in the marketplace. “That whole story is the definition of sustainability,” Mesko said. Mesko spoke at the National Bison Summer Conference titled Bison: America’s Soil Builders in Elk River. “Around 1885, the lowest number I found was 235 buffalos,” he said. “Yet 150 years ago, an estimated 30 million buffalo roamed the North American continent. Today, just under 500,000 is the bison count for North America.” A farm kid who grew up between Princeton and Milaca, Mesko doesn’t claim any particular knowledge of the genetics of today’s bison, known by early American settlers as buffalo. But he did say there are those who infer crossbreeding occurrences over the years have resulted in a different genetic bison today compared to what Native Americans would have been hunting 200-plus years ago. Sustainability is part of every agricultural conversation today. “But if your mind set is that the

Castor Bean can make big statement in your garden Big bold plants make an architectural statement in a garden. Our garden shows off a bold beauty in the form of a Castor Bean plant. It is a robust annual and can get as tall as 10 feet if started early indoors. The scientific name for the castor plant is Ricinus comIN THE GARDEN munis [ruh-SEE-niss kuh-MYniss]. It is not a bean at all By Sharon Quale but belongs to the Euphorbia family which includes the spurges. The shiny seeds are intricately designed — a little larger than a pinto bean and shaped like a huge wood tick. The big palmate shaped leaves can have a red and purple coloration and the giant cockle-bur shaped flowers are a stunning red orange hue. Yes, it is a poisonous plant. Ricinus communis is the plant from which the powerful and well known toxin ricin is derived. The danger is from ingesting and not from touching the plant. An argument can be made for not growing this plant as a garden ornamental because of its known toxicity. If most toxic plants were eliminated from a yard or garden there would be a big void of beautiful specimens

that are commonly grown. The list of dangerous toxic plants that thrive in our area is extensive. There are over 80 plants considered mildly toxic and over 80 considered dangerously poisonous. Some common plants on the list of dangerously poisonous include: Angel’s Trumpet, Arborvitae, Bittersweet, Clematis, Delphinium, Fox Glove, Lily of the Valley, Peony, Daffodil, Azalea, Yews, Milkweed and Morning Glory, to name a few. It seems clear to me that eating ornamental garden plants is not a normal gardening practice. It is also clear that caution should be used when young children are in the garden area. The Minnesota Safety Council recommends teaching children to never put leaves, bark, stems, seeds, nuts, or berries from unknown plants into their mouths. Don’t assume a plant is not poisonous because birds or other wildlife are eating it. Castor oil is derived from this plant and I read that

over 500 million pounds of castor oil is used around the world annually. Aside from the old time use as a spring tonic, the oil is used in making soaps, hydraulic fluids, paints, dyes and lubricants. Food grade castor oil is recognized as a safe ingredient in the United States and is used in flavorings, candy and some packaging. The ricin toxin has of course been chemically removed before commercial use of the oil. We buy our ornamental specimen Castor Bean plant in the spring at a local nursery when it is about a foot tall. It grows so fast it soon makes its big bold statement. I once saw a hedge of these plants that made an impressive temporary living fence and if you have enough area a group planting would be spectacular.

And like our raft-mate, I responded with doubt. “I don’t see a miracle,” I thought. “Are you sure?” What’s the miracle? There’s a remnant in this land that deeply cares about faith, family and morality. There’s a band of God-fearing, praying people who care about what is just and right. As the speaker went on, he directed our attention to the thousand people gathered in a convention hall on a summer Saturday to unite in prayer for our nation. And that’s a tiny sliver of the remnant. There’s more! Do you see the miracle? There are people in your state, community (and if you’ve read this far) in your home who put their trust not in the presidential election, Supreme Court rulings, or stocks and savings, but in Almighty God who holds all things together.

TREE CITY from pg. 20 “You have an annual [forestry] budget of at least $2 per capita, which is absolutely nothing,” Blees said. “You can count basically everything and anything you do that is tree related.” The time the city crew spends on trimming or cutting trees, money spent to hire a stump grinder, the cost of tree purchases, even the time of volunteers can be counted toward the total. Blees said it is not really an addition to the budget, but accounting for things the city is doing anyway. Hendricks’ Arbor Day celebration is “basically a tree planting day,” Blees said. “We send a mailer to everybody in the area. They have an opportunity to buy a tree through our program. If they volunteer for two hours, or come out and help plant a couple trees, they get a free tree.” The city buys bare root trees in the spring and puts them in a gravel bed, “basically a sand box full of pea rock,” he explained, to get root growth. While Arbor Day is in April, the foundation is fine with Hendricks having their Tree Celebration and planting in the fall. “I get 70 trees, and we’ll sell anywhere from 35-50 trees and what isn’t sold, we plant.” In 2011, Hendricks won an award for a project they did with the University of Minnesota. About 30 to 40 volunteers took the whole summer and inventoried every tree in town. “I think being a Tree City USA helped when the

THE LAND, AUGUST 12, 2016

Joan Lee, McIntosh, Minn. July 29 It’s all about hay right now on the Lee farm. The Land spoke with Joan Lee on July 29 as she admitted that this hay crop has been a challenge. “We’ve been having issues.” said Lee, “Started baling on Tuesday or Wednesday and it’s become a drawn-out process.” The main cause is “trouble with the baler, with loose bales,”she said. As for the other crops, the corn is currently “tasseling and silking.” Lee sees a definite difference in the two varieties of corn that they planted. Some of the crop is 7 to 8 feet tall and some of the corn is “really short stuff yet.” The soybeans have “come along really well.” The cultivating was finished two weeks ago. The oats have “really started to turn.” However, “there’s still green in them.” Lee expects to start harvesting the oats in a few weeks. Strong storms seem to have been abundant in the area recently. “We’ve been fortunate and missed a lot of these storms.” Just east of the Lee farm, storms caused power outages and downed trees. Lee’s mother’s farm in Princeton, Minn., was not so lucky as a narrow swath of storms caused straight line winds to take down pine trees on the farm that were over 100 years old. The storm “took a couple trees down into the corn field,” she reported. Cleanup is underway and thankfully no buildings were damaged. Lee’s focus right now is to finish baling hay then begin preparing for oat harvest in a few weeks. This will most likely be the last hay crop of the season. “I think we’ll just go with two crops and call it good,” she said. Lee’s ready to be done with hay for a while and definitely ready to give the baler a rest.

Kent Moser, Rock Rapids, Iowa August 5 “The heat has subsided,” reported Kent Moser. For Moser that means relief not only for him as he’s been spending long days looking at fields but for all the crops he’s been scouting. The Land spoke with Moser on Aug. 5 as he noted that this morning it was 58 F. The cooler temperatures haven’t brought any moisture as the area keeps missing measurable rain with the exception of “pockets here

and there.” Moser has been busy spraying corn and soybeans as well as scouting for aphids. Due to the excessive heat last month Moser is seeing come corn with 2 inches of tip back. For Moser, that’s unusual in the area. “We don’t see a lot of it,” he said. There were “three or four nights that we never recovered” from the heat of the day. That stress on the corn is evident in the amount of tip back being found. While tip back is present in some of the corn, it overall “looks really good yet.” The soybeans “canopied real fast.” Moser said he is hopeful about the soybeans. “Even without moisture recently, I’m not overly concerned with the amount of rain we missed,” Moser said. Moser noted that the soil moisture is still good. Bottom line for Moser: “No reason to get alarmed yet.”

FOLLOWING THE 2016 GROWING SEASON By KRISTIN KVENO The Land Correspondent

“Harvest started up here.” The Land spoke with Andy Pulk on July 31 as he was four days into rye grass harvest. Pulk estimates that it will take two weeks to complete. The first field he harvested was “below average” but the rest look to be above average. The weather has finally started to cooperate just in time for harvest, it “has been beautiful” with no moisture for a week. The soybeans are “setting pods.” Overall for the beans: “Some look really good, some look below average,” Pulk reported. The wheat is “going to be well above average.” Pulk said he believes:“It’s going to be better than I anticipated.” Wheat harvest should begin for Pulk in two to three weeks. The earlier maturity corn is all tasseled out. With the rest of the crop, Pulk said, it’s “all over the board.” One field still needs nitrogen but due to the wet condition of the field Pulk may not be able to get it sprayed. From July 17-22, Pulk and his family spent quality family time away from the farm. It was Roseau County Fair time and it was a “really nice week for fair week.” There were 135 kids that participated in the Power Wheels Derby that Pulk organized. Daughter Madi placed first in her division for the pedal pull. A great time was had by all Pulks. “It’s fun while it’s here but glad it’s only one week,” Pulk said. Overall, Pulk “definitely feels better (about the crops) than last month.” With the sun shining and harvest in full swing, things are moving in a positive direction at the Pulk farm.

John Nielsen, Albert Lea, Minn. August 4 August is a busy month for John Nielsen and with the rain staying away Nielsen was able to cross even more off his to-do list. The Land spoke with Nielsen on Aug. 4 as he reported he was able to get all the fungicide on his soybeans as well as have them sprayed for aphids. The beans “look really good,” he reported. Nielsen said he is hopeful for an even better crop than last year. He is keeping a watchful eye out for any indication of white mold. Meanwhile, the corn “looks like a super crop.” Nielsen has found quite a few ears that are 45 to 47 kernels per row. The hay is ready to be cut when Nielsen can get around to it. He spent this past week at the Freeborn County Fair. His pork chop stand was a busy place to be: “We had a really good fair.” While Nielsen had a great time and enjoyed cheering on his grandchildren as they showed their animals, he admits “I’m exhausted.” Rest won’t come soon for Nielsen as he still has bins that need to be erected. He also plans on taking his seed corn people to Stillwater. The Minnesota State Fair finishes off the month. “We spend a whole week at the State Fair,” Nielsen said. With all that Nielsen has going on this month, he doesn’t want to miss looking out on his fields and seeing what “looks to be a very good crop.”

Rule sheep farm delivers lambs across country SHEEP, from pg. 23 fertility rates during the summer. Semen is collected and evaluated. Most of the semen is shipped cooled to their clients to inseminate. Last year, Rule rams bred over 4,000 ewes nationwide. “To maximize on our high end females, select ewes are used in an embryo transfer donor program,” said Amber. “Each donor is super-ovulated where she can usually produce an average of eight eggs. The eggs are then implanted into recipient ewes that have been synchronized for breeding along with the donors. The implanting process is a minimally invasive procedure.” The recipient ewes are Rambouillet sheep normally from the Rocky Mountain area. The mainstay of the Rule flock is their 700 black-faced Hampshire based ewes. The Rules lamb in October for seed-

stock, then December through May with an emphasis on market lambs. With six years of intense artificial insemination and embryo transfer, the majority of their 700-head flock goes back to 12 ewe lines and two sire lines. Sharing skills While most lamb buyers come to the Rule farm to view the lambs, the majority of the lambs are actually auctioned off online to allow all buyers an equal opportunity at purchasing each lamb. “For delivery, buyers can come to the farm. But many lambs are delivered by truck, directly to the farm, or destination points all across the United States,” said Jared Whitcomb. Whitcomb, from Greenview, Ill., came to the Rule’s six years ago right out of high school. He worked as a summer intern while attending Oklahoma State University before coming on fulltime to manage the sales and production portion of the show lamb business.

“We normally bring in two to three interns each summer and some shortterm winter interns as well,” said Tyson. “It gives students a large scale exposure to the lamb industry and livestock reproduction. We pride ourselves with getting top candidates for our intern positions and not only teaching them about the livestock industries, but also help them think like a business owner.

Cheese prices rise for sixth consecutive week MIELKE, from pg. 25 year ago. Still, it’s the highest 4b price since October 2015; but is 57 cents below the comparable Federal Order Class III price. Its seven-month average stands at $13.02, which is down from $14.41 at this time a year ago and $20.35 in 2014. The July Class 4a butter-powder price is $14.23. This is up 72 cents from June and $1.20 above a year ago. It is the highest 4a price since December 2015. The 4a average now stands at $13.11, down from $13.42 a year ago and $23.03 in 2014. ■ The bulls got some fodder in the Aug. 2 Global Dairy Trade auction. The weighted average for all products offered jumped 6.6 percent. This is the biggest increase since Oct. 6, 2015, following a disappointingly steady session on July 19 and a 0.4 percent setback on July 5. Only one product showed a loss. Cheddar cheese was off 0.8 percent after slipping 1.1 percent July 19. Rennet casein led the gains with a jump of 16.3 percent. Whole milk powder was up 9.9 percent after a 1.9 percent advance last time. Butter milk

powder was up 7.7 percent after a 0.5 percent decline in the last event. Butter saw a 6.6 percent gain after dropping 5.0 percent last time. Anhydrous milkfat was up 4.7 percent after inching 0.2 percent higher last time. Lactose was up 3.7 percent. Skim milk powder showed a 2.1 percent gain after slipping 1.1 percent last time. ■ FC Stone equates the average GDT 80 percent butter price to $1.3808 per pound U.S. Chicago Mercantile Exchange butter closed Aug. 5 at $2.27 per pound. GDT cheddar cheese equated to about $1.3105 per pound U.S. and compares to the Aug. 5 CME block cheddar at $1.8150. GDT skim milk powder hit 89.13 cents per pound U.S. and whole milk powder was at $1.0273 per pound U.S. CME Grade A nonfat dry milk price closed Aug. 5 at 83.25 cents per pound. Dairy prices soared the first week of August, with cheese advancing for the sixth consecutive week. The cheddar blocks closed Aug. 5 at $1.8150 per pound. This is an increase of 8.25 cents, 6.5 cents above a year ago and the highest since Nov. 18, 2014. The barrels closed at $1.88, up 10.5 cents on the week.

The price was 16.25 cents above a year ago and the highest since November 2014, and 6.5 cents above the blocks. Nine cars of block traded hands on the week at the CME and 20 of barrel. FC Stone’s Dave Kurzawski wrote in his Aug. 5 Early Morning Update: “We realize barrel cheese is tighter in the country and yesterday’s Dairy Products report aids that narrative, but such strength seems in a word: overzealous.” HighGround Dairy’s Aug. 1 Morning Huddle stated: “Though broader fundamentals are bearish, extreme heat and seasonal demand will likely keep cheese prices supported through the end of summer.” Dairy Market News reports that cheese production was steady to slightly lower the first week of August but central region milk production continues to fall. Dairy Market News warned that manufacturers currently utilizing spot loads of milk are preparing for that milk to “disappear and production slow-downs as educational institutions begin to reopen.” Central inventories of aged cheese remain large but fresh cheese, processed cheese and cheese curd sales are all up.

MIELKE, from pg. 26 Western cheese output is “active and steady,” reports Dairy Market News. “Milk is generally available for most processing, with a few extra loads moving around the region to fill production voids. Food service demand has eased a bit. “Buyers are making regular orders, but are not actively looking for extra cheese. Retail demand is solid while export markets continue to be weak.” “Some manufacturers are eager to move into the fall football/pizza season and are anticipating the increased demand will help reduce inventories of mozzarella and other cheeses used on pizzas.” FC Stone’s Dave Kurzawski wrote in his Aug. 4 Early Morning Update, “Forecasts are not calling for unseasonably warm temps for the majority of dairy producing areas — the panhandle being the only exception. That region is projected to experience some excessive heat in the coming 10 days. However, heat in the Midwest two weeks ago has taken its toll on milk production, which should further more tighten up excess milk.” Spot butter reversed two weeks of loss, finishing at $2.27 per pound. This is up 13.5 cents on the week and 28 cents above a year ago. On the week, 16 cars were sold. Butter production in the central region was steady this week, according to Dairy Market News. “Cream remains available and manufacturers are running full schedules. Demand for butter remains strong.” Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed Aug. 5 at 83.25 cents per pound. This is down 1.75 cents on the week, but 11.25 cents above a year ago with 16 cars sold. ■ A higher All-Milk price was all but outweighed by increased feed costs in the latest milk feed price ratio. The June ratio is 1.91, which is up from 1.89 in May but down from 2.07 in June 2015, according to USDA’s latest Ag Prices report. The index is based on the current milk price in relationship to feed prices for a dairy ration of 51 percent corn, 8 percent soybeans and 41 percent alfalfa hay. In other words, one pound of milk today purchases 1.91 pounds of feed of that blend The June U.S. average All-Milk price was $14.80/cwt. This is up 30 cents from May, but $2.20 below June 2015. California’s All Milk average of $13.83 was up 91 cents from May but $1.89 below a year ago. Wisconsin, at $14.80, was up a dime from May and $3.20 below a year ago. June corn averaged $3.82 per bushel, up 14 cents from May and 23 cents per bushel above June 2015. Soybeans averaged $10.20 per bushel. This is up 44 cents from June after jumping 72 cents in May, and is 62 cents per bushel above June 2015. Alfalfa hay averaged $142 per ton, which is down $5 from May and $36 per ton below June 2015.

MPP-Dairy margin was $5.76/cwt., meaning farms insured at or above $6/cwt. could receive a payment this period.” The Daily Dairy Report adds that “since inception of the MPP program, this is the first pay period where the margin fell below the $6/cwt. level. For dairy producers evaluating the 2017 sign-up, one payment in 14 periods below $6/cwt. could influence coverage level decisions for next year.” Calendar year 2017 paperwork must be filed with local Farm Service Agency offices by Sept. 30. ■ The latest Margin Watch from Chicago-based Commodity and Ingredient Hedging reports that, “Dairy margins continued to strengthen over the last half of July following a further drop in feed costs, while milk prices trended steady to higher. Margins through the first half of 2017 remain near or above the 80th percentile of profitability over the past 10 years. The feed market has been under heavy pressure recently following moderating weather forecasts and historically high crop condition ratings for this point in the season.” The Margin Watch says, “Milk prices have been supported by strength in the spot cheddar market. Hot weather across a large area of the U.S. has adversely impacted both milk production and cow comfort, which has in turn supported prices. Upcoming milk production reports from NASS should provide more detail on the exact impact from recent weather.” ■ Preliminary data put June milk production at 16.7 billion pounds, which is up 1.6 percent from June 2015. USDA’s latest Dairy Products report shows where the milk went. June cheese output totaled 987.4 million pounds. This is down 1.5 percent from May, but 1.1 percent above June 2015, and brought year to date production to 5.96 billion pounds, which is up 2.1 percent from a year ago. California produced 206.1 million pounds of that cheese. This is down 3.4 percent from May, but 1.6 percent more than a year ago. Wisconsin, at 262.3 million pounds, was down 0.3 percent from May but 2.4 percent more than a year ago. Idaho was up 2

percent while Minnesota was down 4.3 percent from 2015. Nonfat dry milk production totaled 143.6 million pounds, which is down 13.2 percent from a year ago, with year-to-date output at 928.2 million pounds, down 9.5 percent. But, skim milk powder production, at 55.3 million pounds, was up 59.5 percent from a year ago, with year-to-date output at 281.4 million pounds, up 29.6 percent from 2015. The report also showed May nonfat dry milk stocks at 237.6 million pounds, up 2.3 percent from May but 9.4 percent below a year ago. Churns produced 152.9 million pounds of butter, which is down 10.1 percent from May, up 6.4 percent from a year ago, with year-to-date at 1.03 billion pounds, up 5.7 percent. USDA’s weekly update reports that, “nationwide, bottled milk sales to grocery stores and food service are seasonally lower, as demand for popular summer drinks is increasing. Processors are anticipating improvements on bottled milk orders as K-12 schools are reopening in a couple of weeks. Considerable volumes of condensed skim are moving into ice cream and nonfat dry milk manufacturing. Cream supplies continue tightening across the country. Cream demands from ice cream/frozen desserts makers remain strong.” ■ In politics, the International Dairy Foods Association applauded President Obama’s signing into law what IDFA called a “landmark agreement that protects America’s food supply system from a harmful patchwork of varying state labeling laws for foods made with genetically modified, or GMO, ingredients.” IDFA says, “The historic federal law will give consumers access to more product information than ever before and ensure a transparent national system for disclosing ingredients without stigmatizing a safe and proven technology.” The new law “explicitly preempts state GMO labeling laws, including Vermont’s, and will bring much-needed consistency to the marketplace,” IDFA concluded.

Editor’s Note: Joe Lardy, CHS Hedging research analyst, is sitting in this week for Phyllis Nystrom, the regular “Grain Outlook” columnist. CORN — The corn market traded in a pretty narrow 13.25 cent range all week, and ended up losing 8.5 cents on the week. With pollination behind us and a non-threatening forecast in front of us, the corn market is missing a driving force to give it direction. That should change as we will JOE LARDY see the newest World AgriculCHS Hedging Inc. tural Supply and Demand EstiInver Grove Heights, Minn. mates report on Aug. 12. The big change from the July to the August WASDE report is that farmer surveys will be factored into the yield estimate. Private forecasts have started to come out ahead of the Aug. 12 report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Corn yields are ranging between 169.8 and 175.0 bushels per acre. Corn inspections were the lowest of the past nine weeks. However, inspections were still above 1 million tons and have been for 18 of the last 19 weeks. The USDA announced fresh export sales on two days this week with 290,000 tons and 129,000 to unknown for next marketing year. Export sales data on Aug. 4 was supportive. We are close enough to the end of the marketing year that most of the activity is now shifted into the new crop. Old crop sales were third-lowest of the

The first week of August appears to be bringing a possible change in the livestock markets. The cattle market already is moving higher. The hogs, which are extremely oversold, could be following with a rally of their own. How far prices are able to rally is the only question left to be answered. Cattle have seen a good turnaround in the bearish price action experienced through the past several months. Cash has led the way as packers, appearing to be slightly light on inventory, have stepped up in the first part of August and pushed the cash sales higher by as much as $3. Along with the higher cash purJOE TEALE chases was the steadying of the Broker beef cutout followed by the cutout Great Plains Commodity prices beginning to advance. This Afton, Minn. ignited the futures market and resulted in a rally which closed the deep discounts to the cash market that the futures had experienced through most of the spring and early summer months. It would now be interpreted that some sort of a low has been established during this first week in the month of August. With the continued slow movement of beef and the fact that cattle numbers have slightly increased with weights now increasing, will this rally be prolonged or just another rally in a bear market? The answer appears to lie in the packers’ aggressiveness in acquiring live inventory and the demand for the finished product. Producers are requested to continue to monitor market conditions and protect inventories as needed. The hog market has not quite yet turned the corner

As of Aug. 1, corn prices have fallen about $1 a bushel since June. Soybean prices are down about $2 a bushel since June highs and corn condition ratings are at 20-year highs for this time of year. A number of producers were able to get a portion of their new crop bushels sold at a profit. Other farmers continue to hold grain in hopes of another price rally. The weather forecasts continue to delay extreme stress on the large crop expected this fall. One very common question is, when should I sell my grain? Of course it depends on your situation. Do you have storage? Is there a carry in the market? What are your costs? Farmers KURT LENSING question when I ask about indi- Assistant Vice President vidual farm costs per bushel. The and Industry Specialist Waite Park, Minn. reason I ask is because the cost to produce a bushel of corn varies from below $3 to above $5 a bushel. If your costs are on the high side of this range, it’s likely you will need to make adjustments to your farm’s cost structure in order to be viable long-term. Most years offer prices at or above break evens. Instead of trying to cherry pick the top of the market, it’s recommended by many in the industry to have a flexible, written marketing plan that has decision dates and prices. At each date, or price point, a percentage or increment should be sold. An example of how to write a plan for each increment might be: “Sell 10 percent of my new crop actual production history at $3.80 or by May 1 — whichever one comes first.” Marketing plans should be written.

Soybean market enjoyed fresh export business daily SOYBEANS — The soybean market tested recent lows at $9.50 this week before bouncing higher to close the week. The November soybean contract ended the week losing 28.5 cents. The standout feature in the soybean market this week was the daily announcements of fresh export business. Every day this week and the closing three days of last week had announcements. The eight-day total was a massive 2,348,200 tons. There was only 198,000 tons of old crop sales reported so 2,150,200 was for new crop. That is 4 percent of the export total for next year in just over one week! Soy inspections were the second-best in 16 weeks. The Aug. 4 export sales data was supportive. The old crop sales of 542,200 tons were the best in a month and the new crop sales figure of 1,128,200 tons was the best of the marketing year. On Aug. 5, CFTC data showed that the speculators are still in selling mode. For the seventh consecutive week, speculators have been sellers and have cut

MARKETING

their net long position down substantially. The speculator position is currently at 99,000 contracts and is under 100,000 contracts for the first time in 16 weeks. OUTLOOK: The market will be very focused on next week’s WASDE report and on the weather forecasts. Private estimates for soybean yields range from 47.7 to 48.8 bu./acre. The USDA currently has a 46.7 bu./acre yield. The USDA will have to make an upward revision to exports for the 2015-16 crop as total commitments are currently about 130 million bushels above the USDA’s July number. This could temper some of the bearishness of a higher yield and production outlook. Additional comments: The Bank of England cut rates 0.25 basis points which marks the lowest point in the bank’s history. The Japanese government has issued a massive new stimulus package to revive their stagnant economy. Both of those measures have firmed up the dollar this week. Crude oil dipped below $40 this week but managed to close at $41.80 which is a gain of 0.20 cents on the week. ❖

THE LAND, AUGUST 12, 2016

LARDY, from pg. 30 year while new crop sales of 896,300 tons were the highest of the marketing year. This week’s ethanol data was also supportive to the corn market. Production increased to just over 1 million barrels per day. We are at record production for this point in the year and very close to all-time high production. Normally, production declines into harvest; but this year it has remained somewhat steady. The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data shows that speculators are still in selling mode. Over the past seven weeks, the speculators have sold a whopping 358,000 contracts of corn. OUTLOOK: The big factor for the corn market will be the upcoming WASDE report. Most people are expecting the USDA to increase the yield and production for the report. Crop conditions have remained a consistently high level which is almost forcing the USDA to make big upward revisions.

Look at your contracting options to reduce risk plicated. Today there are grain marketing options at elevators and corn and soybean processors which enable you to manage prices with or without futures or options. Some of these options include: Minimum price contracts — lock in a floor and take advantage of rallies; Min/Max — lock in a pricing range; Averaging contracts — don’t receive below the seasonal average prices; Daily pricing; Expert/Pro Pricing — allow an industry professional to price grain; and Using futures or options. The contracts above are just “the tip of the iceberg,” but ultimately these — along many other types of contracts — will allow you to reduce price risk on your grain and oilseed production.

Minnesota beans setting pods last year. Soybean condition rated 80 percent good to excellent. Forty-two percent of the spring wheat acreage had been harvested, eight days ahead of the five-year average. Spring wheat condition rated 70 percent good to excellent, up 1 percentage point from last week. Sugarbeet condition rated 87 percent good to excellent. The second cutting of alfalfa hay was 92 percent complete. The third cutting of alfalfa hay was 49 percent complete, eight days ahead of last year. All hay condition rated 81 percent good to excellent. Pasture condition rated 76 percent good to excellent, down 4 percentage points from the previous week. With temperatures around average, livestock were described as being in good condition. This article was submitted by the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service. ❖

Pork market set for recovery rally TEALE, from pg. 30 on the protracted bear market which has been in place for some time. Given the fact that the market is drastically oversold and demand for pork remains good, the stage is set for some type of recovery in prices in the weeks ahead. Whether the value of pork versus the competitive meats is great enough to attract the consumer to consume more pork will determine if this rally develops. The fact that hog numbers have increased is no secret and pork production has been increasing because of it. This makes it important for any chance of a sustained rally dependent on good demand for pork products. One caveat has been the strong U.S. dollar. This has slowed export business which has been a real benefit to demand over recent years. If fundamental influences are not enough to sustain a long-term rally, it may be assumed that this could end up being a short-term technical rally to relieve the oversold condition in the market that exists at this time. Therefore, producers should keep aware of current market conditions and respond appropriately to protect inventories. ❖

Minnesota farmers made substantial progress on small grain harvest during the week ending Aug. 7 according to USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. There were 5.3 days suitable for fieldwork. Field activities for the week included cutting and baling hay, harvesting small grains, and scouting and spraying for aphids. Topsoil moisture supplies were rated 1 percent very short, 6 percent short, 76 percent adequate, and 17 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture supplies were rated 1 percent very short, 6 percent short, 80 percent adequate, and 13 percent surplus. Fifty-four percent of Minnesota’s corn acreage was in or beyond the dough stage, nine days ahead of the five-year average and three days ahead of last year. Corn condition rated 85 percent good to excellent. Seventy-nine percent of the soybean crop was setting pods, six days ahead of average, but four days behind

LENSING, from pg. 30 paper, iPad or e-mail, the key is holding yourself accountable and avoid emotional decisions. Have specific dates or price points (whichever happens first). Sometimes selling at a loss is necessary to manage risk. Use contracts you understand. For example: cash, elevator “hybrid” contracts, futures, etc. Also, be flexible. The ultimate goal is to reduce risk — not assume it. Remember this when making decisions. Finally, include a trusted advisor. Grain merchandisers, brokers and marketing firms can help. Some farmers opt out of a written marketing plan simply because it can be a bit overwhelming. Getting a marketing plan together does not have to be com-

Small town cookbook has recipes with big tastes Cookbook Corner

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent Huntley, Minn., is my favorite size of town: 75 souls call this south-central village home. At one time, Huntley was lively with businesses and its own school; but the tides of time have washed it down to a single church and a well-loved café. The town still lives, however. The café draws in coffee-guzzling locals like bees to a flower Monday through Saturday for breakfast and lunch. There are Friday night dinners — a farmerfriendly practice once common, but more and more rare these days. And the Community Covenant Church is still a vital part of the community, with a new cookbook to celebrate the past, present and future of this little town with big heart. We present here a few samples from the “Huntley Community Cookbook,” a treasury of recipes, photographs and reminiscences. ■ Swiss steak takes round steak (an economical, but tough cut of meat) and makes it melt in your mouth using a combination of overnight marinating, which softens the meat, and three hours of braising in a fragrant and velvety tomato sauce. The final product is amazing, as my sons and husband attest with four out of four “yums” from the Johnson squad. Don’t forget good bread to sop up all those juices. Swiss Steak Submitted by Mary Anders 3 pounds round steak, about 1 inch thick 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes 1/2 to 1 cup chopped green pepper 1 onion, chopped 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper Cut steak into serving pieces. Lay in bottom of 9x13 container to marinate. Sprinkle onions and green peppers over meat. Blend undrained tomatoes with vegetable oil, salt and pepper in blender until tomatoes are liquefied. Pour tomato mixture over all. Marinate overnight. To cook, transfer meat to Dutch oven and pour sauce on top. Heat on stove until it begins to bubble, then cover. Bake at 325 F for one hour, then lower temperature to 300 F for another two hours. ■ An easy homemade dessert that everybody will love? Yes, please! Apple Pie Enchiladas combines Mexican tortillas with America’s favorite pie flavor for a multinational marriage made in heaven. Olé!

Norseth-Larsen House, Cottonwood, Minn.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

hen the Cottonwood Area Historical Society could no longer keep the NorsethLarsen House open as a museum, they gave it back to the city of Cottonwood. The city was not in a position to operate it and placed it for sale in 2010. Steve and Robin Alm liked antiques and older houses, so they put in a bid. “We were a little bit shocked when we got it,” Steve said. “And I said, ‘Now what are we going to do?’” What they did was preserve this Cottonwood landmark as a bed and breakfast called Robin’s Nest and kept the house open for the community. Martin Norseth, a Norwegian immigrant, was an early resident and first mayor of the new railroad town of Cottonwood. His lumber business was profitable and in 1898 he and his wife moved into their elegant Georgian style house which had circular

shaped expansions on each of the front corners. His wife was not well and his sister, Emma, came from Norway to live with them. Emma married Hjalmar Larsen. When the Norseths died, the Larsens inherited the house. After the Larsens, John and Emma Kroese owned the house for about 20 years; then Margaret Larsen (Hjalmar and Emma’s daughter) bought it back in the 1970s and put time and money into restoring it. When she could no longer live there, she gave it to the city with the desire that it be a museum. It was for as long as possible. Now Steve and Robin keep the house and its stories available to the public. The Alms’ B&B has three bedrooms — one of which has a permanent renter. But the house is open for tours during Cottonwood’s “Coming Home Days” celebration which takes place in July.

“We like showing it off,” Steve said. “Robin decorates it for the seasons. We open up for Halloween and have kids come trick and treating. We put a 9foot Christmas tree up and one year served cider and had carolers.” The house is full of highlights: a 4-foot wide front door, a fireplace nook with imported tile, oak woodwork, an open stairway with stained glass windows, and a cabinet and sideboard built into one of the rounded corners. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, which has requirements making upkeep more expensive. “It’s been fun,” Steve said, “but it’s had its challenges, trying to keep it era-correct.” Robin’s Nest at Norseth-Larsen House can be reached at NorsethLarsen@gmail.com or (507) 4236493. ❖
