What have we spent since those estimates were In fat times and lean alike, issued just three years ago? Little to nothing. But farmers and ranchers know that’s nothing new. they have to spend money to make money. A worn-out comThis past February, the Center on Budget and Polbine, like a worn-out bull, is icy Priorities (a non-partisan research institute) too costly to keep — even if you have to borrow the money to replace it. That’s the way it works with our nation, too. We need to con- FARM & FOOD FILE tinually invest in its operation, By Alan Guebert even if that requires borrowing, to make our future more certain. When it comes to the nation’s infrastructure however, we’ve spent 30 years borrowing time — not money. Now, according to a May 2016 report by the American Society of Civil Engineers, “The nation needs to spend $3.32 trillion (over the next decade) to keep its ports, highways, bridges, trains, water, and electric facilities up to date.” “But,” it adds, “we have “funded only $1.88 trillion of that.” Worse, Reuters notes in its review of the report, “The shortfall rises to $5.18 trillion through 2040 without new funding commitments.” I know, I know; the only topic more boring than unmet infrastructure needs is unmet in-laws. But not meeting either isn’t an option. It must be done and here’s why. While our local, state, and federal officials have spent years cutting taxes and running up debt, the nation’s cracking, rusting, and rotting infrastructure cracks, rusts, and rots even more. Worse, the fixes our leaders refuse to fund now will cost the nation an estimated 2.5 million jobs and $4 trillion in economic activity over the next 10 years. And that will be felt greater in rural America where public infrastructure is, literally, falling apart. Today, 61 million country-living Americans are more reliant on our nation’s less reliable bridges and roads for access to their jobs, education, healthcare and family than are their urban cousins. Moreover, today’s country roads and bridges are far more dangerous than those in cities. According to The Road Improvement Program, or TRIP, a national, non-profit transportation research group in Washington, D.C., “Rural roads have a traffic fatality rate that is nearly three times higher than all other roads.” Right now, according to the engineers at ASCE, a massive “funding gap” exists between what the nation has budgeted to spend on infrastructure by 2020 and what it needs to spend. For example, in 2013 the group estimated the U.S. needed to spend $1.7 trillion by 2020 on just “road, bridges, and transit” to bring all into good repair. Other needs however, were almost as big: the electrical grid needed $736 billion; public schools, $391 billion; airports, $134 billion; “waterways, ports, dams, levees,” $131 billion; rail, $100 billion; and public parks and recreation, $238 billion.

Commentary: Cage-free egg myths Drug Administration warning letter was issued to a cage-free egg farmer in Missouri. Yet the narrative that cagefree chickens produce a better quality egg gains traction because few are exposing this false premise. As for the workers in cage-free barns, the amount of dust, which can transmit pathogens, inside the barn represents a health risk to farm workers, and the need for workers to collect floor eggs creates ergonomic challenges, too. Farmers want to please their customers and so there will be more cage-free farms built. But the smaller farmer will struggle with the estimated costs of $40 per bird for the labor, building, feeders, waters, and nests in their cage-free barns. The larger egg farmers will build these structures and increase their market share as the smaller farms cannot compete and simply quit the business. The end result will be fewer, but larger farms producing eggs. Ken Klippen, president National Association of Egg Farmers
OPINION
THE LAND, AUGUST 26, 2016
More than 100 companies purchasing eggs now are demanding their sources produce cage-free eggs. The idea of chickens roaming about, scratching in the dirt, elicits an idealistic thought that it leads to better animal welfare and better quality eggs. The National Association of Egg Farmers wants consumers to know that this is simply not true. Removing chickens from cages, where they have been for decades, will lead to issues with more chickens dying. Chickens establish a “pecking order” among those in their group. Imagine a flock of thousands of chickens establishing a pecking order among themselves. Those lower on the pecking order are pecked more often. This is minimized in a cage environment where only a few birds are placed. Cage-free eggs are more likely to be contaminated with bacteria due to prolonged exposure from litter and manure in the nest boxes or on the ground. The most recent Salmonella enteritidis (a foodborne pathogen) outbreak linked to eggs comes from a cage-free farm in Lebanon, Ohio. A recent Food and

Past time to invest in infrastructure So, it’s time (past time, really) to invest in our infrastructure. And, luckily, it’s a fantastic time to borrow the money that we need to do it. On Aug. 6, Nobel Prize-winning economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman wrote that the “federal government can borrow at incredibly low interest rates: 10-year, inflation-protected bonds yield just 0.09 percent.” Similarly, 30-year bonds, he noted, were “yielding 0.64 percent.” So why not borrow to build our nation’s tomorrows instead of putting up with yesterday’s tired bull?

GUEBERT from pg. 3 That’s left state and local governments to pick up the slack. And, for the most part, few have. “Total capital spending as a share of state GDP fell in all but five states … between 2002 and 2013…” noted the report. Many states spent the last decade “cutting taxes and offering corporate subsidies in a misguided approach to boosting economic activity,” explains the CBPP. “Tax cuts will spur little to no economic growth and take money away,” it continues, from needed infrastructure rebuilding like “schools… and other public investments essential for the nation’s growth…”

Commentary: Experts weigh in on antibiotics in poultry “Natural,� “organic,� “hormone free,� “pesticide free,� “non-GMO� ... these are just a few of the terms consumers encounter when purchasing meat at the local grocery store. While some argue these labeling terms describe the products, others have argued the terms are meaningless and part of a marketing ploy to drive sales and increase prices. Consumers are now confronted by the latest labeling additions: “antibiotic free,� “raised without antibiotics� and “no antibiotics.� But what's the real story behind this growing trend? Since the 1950s, the Food and Drug Administration has banned all antibiotic residues in finished food products. By law, every food product must be technically free of antibiotic residue. Animal producers must comply with withdrawal times — the time it takes for antibiotics to work their way out of an animal’s system before meat is allowed to enter the food supply chain. So, in light of the law, why
is there a sudden push by private organizations and some consumers to ban antibiotic use altogether? One answer may be that some consumers think using antibiotics to treat animals results in antibiotic residue in the finished food product. According to Chuck Hofacre, director of clinical services for the University of Georgia's College of Veterinary Medicine, “All meat and poultry are truly antibiotic free. However, with residue, the misconception is that when you eat meat from animals treated with antibiotics, you are eating what they ate, which is simply not true.� Another answer may be attributed to the emergence of new food labels affecting consumers’ perceptions. Yvonne Thaxton, Ph.D, professor and director of the Center for Food Animal Wellbeing, said, “It’s confounding that companies are labeling chicken as ‘antibiotic-free’ or ‘no antibiotics,’ which leads to the

impression that other chicken has antibiotics. It’s a marketing strategy — not necessarily the truth.� In the past, the U.S. Department of Agriculture recognized the potential for consumer confusion with product labeling. Growth hormone use for example, has been illegal in poultry production for over 50 years. But when some producers began requesting approval to label their products as “hormone free� and “no added hormones,� the USDA implemented a requirement that the claims could not be used to market poultry unless they were followed by a disclaimer: “Federal regulations prohibit the use of hormones in poultry.� The hormone debate is analogous to antibiotic concerns. Some consumers fear ingesting antibiotic residue, just as they feared ingesting hormones. This despite the fact that residue from either has been illegal for some time. On the other hand, some consumers are less concerned with ingesting antibiotic and more concerned about antibiotic resistance — which is a wholly separate topic. According to Charlie Arnot, CEO of The Center for Food Integrity, “The answer lies in knowing the difference between residue and resistance. The assumption is that they are the same.� Arnot continued, “Resistance, however, is a completely separate issue and refers to organisms adapting to their environment and building up resistance. “Resistance does not mean you are eating antibiotics when eating animal protein. This is more about foodborne illness. For example, if we give antibiotics to chickens and they develop a hardier form of salmonella-resistant bacteria and you don't cook your meat all the way, you will get that hardier form of salmonella. However, that’s not necessarily the case.� Bacterial resistance touches on another concern regarding the use of antibiotics in poultry production and the rise of “superbugs.� This alarming informal term is usually associated with human-borne, antibiotic-resistant bacteria. But recently, it has entered into the discussion on antibiotic use in poultry production. Even the FDA has taken issue with it, stating: “It is inaccurate and alarmist to define bacteria resistant to one, or even a few antibiotics as ‘Superbugs’ if these same bacteria are still treatable by other commonly used antibiotics.� While the inquiry may be laudable, there hasn’t been conclusive proof of

poultry-borne superbugs. Weighing in on both the residue and resistance issues, Phil Stayer, corporate veterinarian for Sanderson Farms, explained, “The process chain between a food animal and a person (consumer) is very long. Animals are raised on farms and the antibiotics are withdrawn long before processing. As feathers and viscera are removed, the majority of bacteria is also removed. The edible product is placed into meat packages that then go through a cold chain where most bacteria have difficulty surviving. Following the cold chain, the product goes through a hard chilling system or freezer chain, and is then sold, cooked and consumed. So, it is unlikely that bacteria that starts on a farm makes it all the way to the consumer. It could happen, but it would have to survive a very long process chain.� Over the last 50 years, the practice of raising chicken commercially has changed dramatically. Technology has improved, making the process more efficient in order to meet the demands of a growing population. This has raised questions around the current practice of raising commercially grown chicken. Veterinarian Leah C. Dorman, director of food integrity and consumer engagement at Phibro Animal Health, weighed in on the issues and benefits surrounding current poultry production. “From a sustainability standpoint, antibiotics help keep flocks stay healthy, which means less water, feed and land needed, which leads to a decreased carbon footprint.� Karen Burns Grogan, a consulting poultry veterinarian and executive vice-president of the American College of Poultry Veterinarians, described the difficult position that her profession faces. “As veterinarians, we are passionate about what we do. When misinformation like this occurs and the tools we use to prevent animal suffering are taken away from us, it’s very disheartening. It means animals are suffering from something I know I could treat responsibly.� Among industry experts and producers, animal welfare is not the only priority. Dorman echoed this sentiment. “There are multiple safeguards in place to make sure the chicken we feed our families is safe, wholesome and free of any unsafe residue. When meat is labeled ‘antibiotic-free,’ it simply means that the animal was raised without the benefit of antibiotics.� This article was submitted by PR Newswire. �

John Nielsen, Albert Lea, Minn. August 18 The Nielsen farm is “sitting really good” for moisture, thanks to 1.5 inches of rain that fell. The Land spoke with John Nielsen on Aug. 18. as he reported that the moisture “was kind of needed.” With that rain, he said, “I don’t think we need too much more.” The rain has put a damper on getting the hay cut. If the weather cooperates, Nielsen expects to start hay production soon. He reported that the soybeans are “up to our shoulders.” Nielsen is, however, “seeing some sudden death.” Nielsen spotted some beans with sudden death syndrome while driving around the area looking at the plants. He hasn’t had any white mold issues. The corn has experienced a “fair amount” of tip-back. “There’s more tip-back than I originally thought,” he said. Nielsen said that he feels that that was due to the heat earlier in the summer and “no cooling at night.” Even with the tip-back, Nielsen is “still optimistic with corn.” Harvest is just around the corner. Nielsen will soon begin harvest equipment preparation. “It won’t take too long,” he said. There’s a little fun planned in the midst of the farm work as Nielsen will take some of his seed customers to Stillwater on Aug. 19 for a dinner cruise on the St. Croix River and he has a family reunion Aug. 21. Lots of hard work and some good memories being made is what the summer is all about for Nielsen.

Kent Moser, Rock Rapids, Iowa August 18 The lack of rain is “not horrible, but it’s starting to get on the dry side.” The Land spoke with Kent Moser on Aug. 18, as he reported that the crops are starting to show the effects of little moisture. Thankfully there are cooler temperatures in the forecast along with some expected rain for Aug. 19. The corn is “a little bit stressed.” Moser saw some tip-back issues in corn but he reported that it’s “not as widespread as I first thought.” “Crop is going to be pretty variable,” Moser added. If the soybeans keep missing the rain then Moser expects it will be an average bean yield. Right now for the beans, Moser said, “It’s all about getting weight on.” Moser is still scouting for soybean aphids. This year has been average for aphids. The amount of spraying for soybean aphids though is “below average.” Moser has noticed that he’s “not seeing as much disease as last year.” He attributes that to the heat which “slows down some disease.” For corn, Moser said, “I anticipate an earlier harvest than normal” as it’s “further along on heat units” this year. The crops will soon have a respite from the heat and if the forecast is correct, they should be getting some much-needed moisture.

Joan Lee, McIntosh, Minn. August 11 The hay square bales are all done and now the focus is on the organic oats at the Lee farm. The Land spoke with Joan Lee on Aug. 11 as the recent rain has caused additional challenges in the oat harvest. On Aug. 10 the Lee farm received 2.08 inches of rain which didn’t help to get the harvest moving along. Before the rain on Aug. 10 “we got one of the fields combined.” The yields so far are promising. “The first field that we combined ran close to 80 bushels per acre, that’s pretty good,” Lee said. Actually, it’s really good, “it’s one of the best yields we’ve had since starting oats.” Along with oat harvest, Lee has straw to bale and “we still have our wheat too.” This time of year, multi-tasking is key. “It’s always kind of a challenge to get all this done at almost the same time.” Overall, “we need some dry time.” Lee would also like some sun as well. Those two things would go far in ensuring that oat harvest would get done soon and then it’s on to wheat. There’s no slowing down this time of year at the Lee farm and with good yields, Lee wouldn’t want it any other way.
Andy Pulk, Roseau, Minn. August 11 “It’s the wettest it’s been up here since I began farming.” Even with that said, a little rain or lot in this case, hasn’t stopped harvest for Andy Pulk. The Land spoke with Pulk on Aug. 11 as he waiting for the fields to dry out some so he could continue rye grass harvest. Pulk is hopeful he’ll be back in the field soon. It’s been a wet harvest so far with four inches of rain in less than 10 days. Rye grass harvest should wrap up next week, “once the combine leaves rye grass it will move onto wheat.” The rye grass yields unfortunately “aren’t’ going to be excellent by any means.” The wheat however, “looks very promising.” While wheat is doing well all this rain has made it an “absolutely perfect year for disease in our crops.” Pulk expects to find disease when he harvests the wheat. “We’re on the makings for an extremely good corn crop.” The corn did “not have any issues with fertility.” Pulk believes that there’s “good potential.” The soybeans are “pretty decent, average for this time of year.” With all the rain, “they’re not looking for moisture this year.” Pulk believes that the crops could go through the vast majority of August with no moisture and would be just fine. With a wet harvest in full swing and some promising crops in the field, Pulk’s only concern right now is trying not to get the combine stuck. Though Pulk knows the odds of that not happening pretty slim this year.

Draft horses attempt Guinness world record By KAREN SCHWALLER The Land correspondent Editor’s Note: On Aug. 13 at 4 p.m., it looks like The Albert City Threshermen and Collectors of Albert City, Iowa were successful in setting a Guinness world record for the greatest number of draft horses plowing. For one minute and 18 Karen Schwaller seconds, 120 draft horses plowed simultaneously. To break the record, the furrow had to be plowed to a depth of at least 6 inches. The event was made even more difficult as a thunderstorm approached minutes before the start and dumped rain over the 800-foot plowing field. This record will still need to be verified, but it is expected to break the current record of 84 draft horses plowing simultaneously for one minute. Table Talk Columnist Karen Schwaller was present at the event and supplied this report. The day was warm and humid as people sidestepped water puddles. Horse whinnies graced the air occasionally and mule teams brayed as they stood proudly beside their counterparts in U.S. ag history, remembering, and waiting their turn. There was something in the air. Excitement. Buzzing. More people than usual. Patience. Anticipation. Waiting. A world record attempt was to be made at the Albert City Threshermen and Collector’s Show this year as organizers worked tirelessly to bring as many draft horses onto the grounds in order to pull it all off. They would try to break the 2015 Guinness world record of 84 draft horses plowing simultaneously. They wanted 100 horses to get it done.

They got 120 of them. With 5 inches of rain the day before the weekend event began, conditions were not ideal. But as the saying goes in the theater business: “The show must go on.” And that it did. A couple thousand people of every age flocked to the show’s west field to be witness to a world record attempt. They were looking up often because the sky was pregnant with gray clouds and they were already walking in the mud. But they didn’t seem to care. The horses waited for the official time. And so did the people. As the crowd gathered along the sidelines of a tract of land that was prepared for such an event, the draft horses were gathering around too — leading small plows and their drivers to the place where they would try to make history. But the horses wouldn’t know even if they did. Soon came the singing of the National Anthem ... followed by the rain. But people stayed. The horse teams, drivers and plows were at the starting line and waiting patiently, like statues. And when the time was right, they started out, slowly but surely. It was a sight to see. The horses trotted along gently. Steadily. Quietly. Gracefully. Methodically. The scene was nothing short of nostalgic. The horses were focused, and it was like stepping back to a time
when life was, in some ways, much more difficult — and in other ways, much simpler. It was quiet as the horses came over the hill and past us, with just the sounds of chains, reigns and harnesses rattling. You could hear steel wheels squeaking here and there. And rain falling. And bystanders cheering them on quietly. “They’re going to do it!” I heard someone say. I thought about the way America was built. Much of it was done on dirt and with horses as people began to homestead this land in those “every-manfor-himself ” days. I have to say that, not being a horse person at heart, I gave considerable thought to the fact that my grandfather and father saw some of this action before “horsepower” became a word associated with tractors. Seeing this, I wondered how farming has continued throughout so many generations with the unrelenting hard labor it entailed then. Who would want to work that hard? The truth is, that life became part of who they were — and it happens that way still today. Those draft horses came over the hill with the grace and style of 120 gifted ballerinas. People said, “It was worth standing in the rain to see.” World record or not, the horses went back to the barn that night as always, not even knowing how special they are to an era of people who remember ... or what they taught to an era of people who don’t. ❖
WRAPS handbook to help farmers Minnesota Soybean Research and Promotion Council invested checkoff dollars into the development of a handbook for Minnesota farmers to help navigate the Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategies (WRAPS) the state has adopted for its 81 major watersheds. Since there are an extraordinary amount of watersheds in the state, adopting the water quality standards can be a daunting process. The WRAPS handbook will help guide farmers through the process.
Due to the federal Clean Water Act, all states must run their operation to the standards set in place for water quality to protect lakes, streams, rivers and wetlands from pollution. The WRAPS handbook not only helps farmers answer their own questions, it serves as a reference guide for water quality standards. Visit www.mnsoybean.org/msga/ for the WRAPS handbook.

Stromberg’s is the place to find your exotic flock By TIM KING The Land Correspondent PINE RIVER, Minn. — It’s a typical Saturday morning in Pine River, and Eric and Laura Stromberg are enjoying their coffee while watching
their backyard flock of chickens. Eric is the fourth generation of the Stromberg family to manage the nearly 100-year-old hatchery and poultry supply business known as Stromberg’s Chicks and Game Birds Unlimited.

All week long they ship hobby farm supplies and birds, but on Saturday m o r n i n g s , t h e Strombergs are like any other family enjoying their poultry flock. “My wife kind of goes bird crazy every year,” Eric said. “We’ve got all kinds of birds in our flock.

In particular, most farms began eliminating their home egg laying and broiler flocks. As farmers became specialists in pork production, dairy production, or grain, they increasingly purchased their chickens and eggs in supermarkets. That caused the small hatcheries that had served them to go out of business. Stromberg’s, which had moved from Iowa to Minnesota by then, was no exception. But Eric’s grandfather only closed the business for two years before restarting it in its present form. “He mortgaged his home to borrow money to start Stromberg’s as we know it today,” Eric said. “I guess once A Mottled Houdan you’re an entrepreneur you named Louise can’t quit.” See STROMBERG’S pg. 11

STROMBERG’S from pg. 10 Today, Stromberg’s sells over 80 types of chickens including rare breeds such as the ornamental Crevecoeur, Sultan, and Golden Campine, which is designated by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy as critically endangered. They also sell ducks, turkey, pheasants, quail, pigeons, doves, guinea fowl, pea fowl, pheasants, quail, and even swans. But, when you order birds from Stromberg’s, your order is drop shipped from another hatchery that specializes in producing only a few top quality breeds and species of birds. “We have hatcheries throughout the United States that we‘ve worked with for many years,” Eric said. “We choose hatcheries that can provide the best quality and the best variety of birds. This is common practice in the hatchery business and even the hatcheries that are still hatching eggs do some drop shipping. Nobody can raise all those breeds. If nothing else, you’d have a biosecurity problem if you had all these different birds at the same farm.” No eggs have been hatched at Stromberg's for more than 40 years. Well, almost none. Stromberg’s actually sells fertile eggs from some chicken breeds and other fowl species to backyard poultry enthusiasts. “We sell different styles of egg incubators for the hobby farmer,” Eric said. “We incubate eggs at the office every year as practice for our customer service reps. We usually incubate chicken eggs every year and then, on top of that, we try to hatch something new or different like quail or guinea fowl.” Stromberg’s sell incubators that can incubate from 10 to hundreds of eggs. Eric says customers who buy eggs or incubators usually have a lot of questions for his employees.

Lawn/garden tip: Get chickens In addition to fertilizer and soil aeration, chickens can help control weeds and insects in your garden and lawn. Chickens love a lot of the things that gardeners do not — like weeds and insects. They forage for seeds and bugs, eat small plants and clean up fallen fruit and green leaves. When it comes to toxicity, chickens will typically avoid poisonous plants. However, consider removing plants like poison ivy, boxwood, honeysuckle, nightshade, monkshood, oleander, tobacco and yew. Consistency is important for chickens allowed to free-range in the garden. Training birds to know specific cues will help them return to the coop at night or during storms. Train chickens to come back to the coop when called. Start with small periods of supervised time in the garden and work up to longer periods. Maintain a routine with how and when you let the chickens free-range. It is important to remember plants and insects aren’t a complete diet. Provide all the nutrients chickens require with a complete chicken feed each morning before letting birds out to free-range. Chickens should have access to the feed throughout the day. This article was submitted by Patrick Biggs, Ph.D – Flock Nutritionist for Purina Animal Nutrition. ❖
“Where Farm and Family Meet”
Each garden comes with a sense of pride and the joy of sustainability. Imagine if you had a natural way to fertilize, control weeds, manage insects and improve soil aeration. Many of today’s gardeners have found this solution through backyard chickens. Chicken waste is an excellent source of fertilizer for both the lawn and garden. Manure from freerange chickens can break down naturally in the yard, providing valuable nutrients for the lawn. The correct balance for free-ranging is about 250 square feet of space per chicken. To use chicken manure as garden fertilizer, consider creating a compost area. This process can reduce the nitrogen levels found in raw manure. When maintaining compost, remember to keep it enclosed. Chickens love foraging for scraps in compost areas, and eating too many scraps can dilute the nutrients in the diet. Another benefit of adding chickens to your garden is soil aeration. Chickens naturally scratch and dig the soil to forage for seeds and bugs. During this process, mulch and compost are spread, soil layers mixed and the ground loosens. Most importantly, oxygen is added to the soil and particle size is reduced.

Williams watches turkey health with careful eye
Quality Truck & Trailer Service
“Avian influenza refers to a class of flu viruses which can be deadly to domestic poultry. However, the disease poses no food safety threat,” he said. “Poultry meat (turkey and chicken) plus eggs are safe to eat.” The last flu outbreak was June 2015. There was an isolated HPAI Keith Williams case from a different strain this January on an Indiana farm. Its birds as well as a chicken-laying barn on an adjacent road were depopulated. As of this date, HPAI has not reoccurred in the United States; although it is found in other countries around the world, said Williams. Both producers and consumers question whether avian flu is no longer a threat. “Any flu virus can be seasonal plus lie dormant; or change its structure and ability to infect wild birds or sicken domestic poultry,” Williams explained. “The industry constantly evaluates its security procedures to limit the risk to U.S. poultry flocks.” The use of antibiotics for prevention and cure of poultry diseases will continue at the end of this year. However, growers will be required to get approval from a veterinarian for antibiotics used in animal feed. And to be clear, viruses such as avian flu are not treated, prevented or cured by antibiotics. However, non-antibiotic supplements which may help maintain the enteric health of turkeys and provide growth benefits are available. Wild birds, ducks and geese are carriers of the virus and played a role in transmission. However, there may be other factors. According to a Minnesota Public Radio story in June, University of Minnesota avian health professor Carol Cardona noted that a recent study shows a possibility that small mammals, specifically rabbits and skunks, may have played a role. Vigilance and strict biosecurity continue to be key to prevention. “Thanks to a coordinated biosecurity response, not only in Minnesota but other turkey-producing states, there have been no incidences to date in 2016,” said Williams. Exports continue to be vital to the U.S. turkey industry with slightly more than 10 percent of yearly production being marketed elsewhere. Turkey exports totaled 47 million pounds in May which is 20 percent higher than May 2015. The top three export markets are Mexico, Hong Kong, with South Korea and Canada roughly tied as the third largest destination. Even with the huge concern of turkey flu impact, no country has banned imports of U.S. turkey. For more information, visit www.eatturkey.com.

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer National Turkey Federation Vice President Keith Williams monitors the turkey industry keenly — especially health and virus outbreaks. “What occurred last year were regional outbreaks of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza. The outbreak claimed 40 million egg-laying chickens and nearly 8
million turkeys. Minnesota was hardest hit because it is the largest turkey producing state in the nation. A total of 108 poultry farms (104 were turkey farms) were hit, but all are now back in business,” said Williams. Williams estimates the minimal economic impact to be a 3 percent loss out of the nation’s 250 million turkey population.

Pigeon racing is much more than just winging it By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent PIPESTONE, Minn. — Mike Ludolph of Pipestone has been racing pigeons since 1981. Long before then, he got acquainted with them as a boy by working for Leo Roscoe, cleaning lofts and helping generally. Roscoe had 4,000 to 5,000 fancy pigeons in lofts on his farm. “Pipestone was a big pigeon town,” Ludolph said. Today, there are three or four owners still around. And when it comes to racing, Ludolph is one of the most successful. Ludolph is a member of Great Plains Flyers Club out of Sioux Falls, S.D. They tie in with a club from Watertown, S.D. for most of their races. They also take part in the Minnesota Invitation series sponsored by Twin Cities Concourse Association, where Ludolph said there will be 1,000 birds from 60 or more lofts. But his favorite race is the biggest in the United States — the Midwest Classic out of Topeka, Kan., sponsored by the Midwest Homing Pigeon Association. “There will be over 7,000 pigeons from 400 to 600 lofts,” Ludolph said. “It’s my favorite race. I’ve won it a couple times and been second a lot.” His success includes numerous national awards and over a dozen American Pigeon Racing Union (AU) champions. Since these are all homing pigeons, each headed for a different destination at different distances, pigeon races require some precise calculations to determine the winner. “We have a GPS reading at the loft, and a GPS reading at the release point,” Ludolph explained. “We have a formula and we can figure the mileage out.” Pigeons are transported to the release point in crates on a trailer. At a given time, a lever is pulled and all the crates open, much like the gates at a horse race. The pigeons head for home. When the pigeons enter their home loft, they walk over a scanner. “It records the bird, the hour, the
minute, the second, and the day that the bird comes in,” he said. “Then that information is put in a computer and it figures the fastest bird and the speed that the bird goes. To determine the winner, we figure the fastest average speed over the distance (the bird flew).” Head wind, tail wind, and other weather conditions will affect a pigeon’s performance. “We watch the weather real close,” Ludolph said. “If it’s going to be a bad day, we cancel the race.” However, if the race is going to be held and he sees it will be a little tough for him because of the wind, he doesn’t enter as many pigeons. Ludolph keeps a loft of 28 Photos by Richard Siemers cocks that he races. These are Mike Ludolph’s quaint cottage-style loft is home to his stable of racing birds called the “old birds.” He also and hens seen below. keeps 28 hens that he does not race. They are an incentive to the cocks to get back home. The old birds’ racing season is May, June and the first week of July. After that they start molting. This year he purchased 30 young birds that he is training. Their racing season is August and September. “The young birds are on what’s called the dark system, so they don’t molt until I quit racing them,” he said. With the young birds he races both the cocks and the hens. The homing instinct is innate, but there is still training involved. He starts by crating the young pigeons and releasing them near the loft. Then he will go out a mile or two for the release. Each time he increases the distance. “I go all the way out to Highway 81 in South Dakota, about 60 miles, and let them go there two or three times, then they go to has been dealing with health issues, he sold his their first race, which will be Aug. 6,” he said. breeders and now purchases young birds from the Ludolph credits his success to picking good Continental Breeding Station in Oklahoma City. He always chooses birds who come from generations of pigeons. racers. “It’s all about the stock,” he said. “I used to breed them and pick my own breeding birds.” Because he See PIGEONS, pg. 15

PIGEONS from pg. 14 Most of the birds are bred out of Belgium, he said, with a little Dutch blood in them. Belgium appears to be the hotspot for racing pigeons. He knows of one bird over there that sold for $600,000. Ludolph doesn’t pay that kind of money for his birds, but he chooses those that come from the best racing lines. “After a racing season I’ll look at their race records. The ones that have done really well I’ll keep. The ones that didn’t do so well, I won’t keep. I donate of lot of these birds to auctions.” Even those he donates he says “must have an excellent pedigree.” He sells a small number of birds each year. Choosing good stock and training are two of Ludolph’s keys to success. The other is taking good care of the birds. After the racing season, “the rest of the year you keep them happy and feed them well.” The feed he purchases through Pipestone Grain has six or seven different kinds of corn plus other grain, providing different nutrients. He said the birds do not have a lot of health issues. He is more likely to lose a bird to a hawk than to illness. Pigeons come in all styles, which may be referred to as homing, racing, fancy, show, performing (rollers and tumblers), utility (for meat) — as well as the common pigeons we see cleaning up spilled grain. Raising pigeons isn’t as common around Pipestone as it once was, but occasionally young people get interested.

CHILTON, Wis. — A cold drink consumed more frequently helps keep you cool and stay hydrated. The same goes for poultry. Adjusting birds’ water in the summer can help them continue to thrive as temperatures rise. “On average, a flock of seven adult birds should drink one gallon of water per day. Water is a great opportunity to provide additional nutrients,” says Julian (Skip) Olson, DVM, technical services manager for Milk Products. “To keep your birds hydrated and healthy, I recommend adding electrolytes, vitamins and probiotic supplements right into the water, especially during periods of heat stress.” Just like for humans and other animals, electrolytes are important for poultry. Electrolytes are comprised of minerals and alkalizing agents and play an important role in controlling fluid balance in the body. They impact the hydration in your body, the acidity
of your blood, muscle functions and other critical functions during times of heat stress. Another way to help reduce stress during summer heat is by adding probiotics to your birds’ water. Probiotics can help with digestion. Simply put, they help provide beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract. “By populating the digestive tract with beneficial bacteria, pathogens like E. coli, Salmonella and Clostridium have less room to grow,” says Olson. “Adding probiotics to the water can help build beneficial bacteria in the digestive system. The more good bacteria in the digestive system, the less room for harmful bacteria.” This article was submitted by Milk Products. Based in Chilton, Wis., Milk Products is one of the nation's largest manufacturers of animal milk replacers and young animal health products. ❖

SDSU’s bachelor of science degree in precision agriculture is the first in the United States. “I congratulate our sister institution,” said Kaler. “Thanks to the tremendous interest in precision agriculture, we are seeing a collaboration of efforts amongst our various land grant colleges. We have graduate students and professors on our staff deeply committed to research, development and education in the rapidly expanding world of precision agriculture.” In view of the huge world dependence on a healthy and thriving agricultural economy, why are activists continuing to keep agriculture in the bull’s eye of

It’s critical to the university that we get a bonding bill this time around. We have 29 million square feet of real estate spread across our five campuses and our research and outreach stations. We simply need money to repair, upgrade and replace much of these properties,” he said. “We can’t wait. We’ve got pipes breaking and roofs leaking. We need a medical education building on the Twin Cities campus. We need a chemistry and advanced materials building on the Duluth campus.

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer MORGAN, Minn. — Starting his sixth year as president of the University of Minnesota and visiting Farmfest for the fifth year, Eric Kaler can take the heat. “It’s warm today here at Farmfest; but for me, a tremendous opportunity to meet face-to-face great people,” Kaler said. “I’ve long thought that people involved in agriculture are something special. They do such a tremendous job of growing the food for all Americans plus people in other countries. I’m proud to be here and being part of this special gathering of Minnesota farm families.” Kaler talked optimistically about a just-announced new program known as the Agricultural Research, Education, Extension and Technology Transfer program (AGREETT) that will bring $5 million of state funded money into the U of M College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences; University of Minnesota Extension; and the College of Veterinary Medicine to address several areas of significance for the ongoing development of agriculture in Minnesota. This money is processed through the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. “I say there is no greater investment the state can make than in its great land grant institution – the University of Minnesota,” said Kaler. “We have so many disciplines within our university: a great science and engineering school, great business school, a strong food and agricultural science school.

Grain Outlook Weaker dollar buoys corn price
Livestock Angles Markets remain sluggish
Grain Angles Forage Coverage
The following marketing analysis is for the week ending Aug. 19. CORN — A weaker U.S. dollar, which fell to a twomonth low, kept any downside in check as prices eased higher. The upside was somewhat stymied by a steady crop rating at 74 percent good/excellent as of Aug. 14. Traders are having a semidifficult time accepting that we really have a 175.1 bushels per acre yield. December corn closed higher every day of the week as prices continued to bounce off the contract low set in post-Aug. 12 report day trading. For the week, December corn rallied PHYLLIS NYSTROM 10.75 cents to close at $3.43.75 CHS Hedging Inc. St. Paul per bushel and the March contract was a dime higher at $3.53.5 per bushel. Late last week, the Farm Service Agency reported that this year we saw fewer prevented planted acreage than normal. I don’t believe anyone should be surprised by this finding. Based on the FSA report, a well-respected private firm is anticipating this year’s corn acreage will be 1 million acres higher than the U.S. Department of Agriculture figure. This latest estimate is 95.1 million acres and the USDA August figure was 94.1 million acres. This could mean a crop of 15.3 billion bushels compared to the current USDA estimate of 15.2 billion bushels. Whether the USDA will make acreage adjustments on the Sept. 12 report is unknown, but may be unlikely — preferring to wait until October. Based on the latest three-month forecast from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
The livestock markets continue to struggle to fight their way out of the constant bear markets in which both cattle and hogs are entrapped. Each rally over the past few months in both markets has been thwarted by disappointment and a continuation of lower prices. The cattle market has been in a continuous bear trend for a year and the prospects for breaking this trend do not appear to be on the horizon at this time. The continual discount of the futures market indicates the bearish overall tone that has captured the market during the past several months. The supply of cattle JOE TEALE has been increasing ever so Broker slightly now for months and the Great Plains Commodity demand for beef continues to be Afton, Minn. questionable at best. This has been the battle that has been waged during this entire downward spiral that has plagued the market over the past year. The lack of demand for beef products — not the tight supply of animals — has been the dominant feature that has been the drag on the market. Given the fact that competitive meat protein is still at low price levels, it would seem that it will still be a struggle for the cattle price to sustain any real strong lasting rally at this time. On Aug. 19, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released a Monthly Cattle on Feed report which indicated the following: on-feed Aug. 1, 102 percent; placements in July, 102 percent; and marketed in July, 99 percent. This was interpreted as slightly negative to the market. Thus, as the supply increases
Every producer understands the important role crop insurance plays in an operational risk management plan. Protecting crops like corn and soybeans are a given but other crops like forage are sometimes overlooked. If you’re producing forage, it’s imperative to consider crop insurance coverage for it. Without it, you are likely taking added operational risk. Forage is a less expensive source of nutrients in a ruminant animal’s diet and it is important to protect any risk associated with losing a forage crop due to certain circumstances. Having forage insurance eliminates the risk of losing your hay crop due to covered perils such as drought or winterkill. RACHEL MOLITOR There are four types of forage AgStar Crop Insurance Sales Specialist insurance plans available in MinWaite Park, Minn. nesota and Wisconsin to help farmers protect their grass or hay crops. Let’s break down the different plans and how they can protect the forage on a producers farm. Actual Production History: This forage plan is based upon a producer’s ten-year production history and covers stands for up to five years. Accurate records are a very important part of this forage plan. A producer must record the production received from each cutting to establish a yield. The APH plan does cover winterkill if the production drops below the guarantee. To calculate a loss, you can use this equation: Tons per acre guarantee minus tons per acre actually produced equals Tons per acre loss multiplied by established price equals indemnity per acre. Losses are paid in the fall for the current crop year.

Soybean price rallies on demand, dollar, soy oil kets. Usually, meal provides a better undertone than oil for an extended upswing but time will tell. Palm oil rallied back to its June level and dragged soy oil with it until it didn’t. Palm oil production in July was reported at its lowest in six years, which helped drive prices higher early in the week. However, the latter half of the week saw palm oil prices reverse lower. Excellent demand from China and India lent additional support. In export news, the USDA corrected an error which meant moving a 129,000 metric tons new crop corn sale announced previously to the new crop soybean column. In its daily reporting, the USDA announced a total of 761,000 metric tons of new crop soybeans sold in the past week. The July National Oilseed Processors Association crush report showed 143.7 million bushels of soybeans were crushed. This was a disappointment when traders were expecting a number closer to 146.7 million bushels. Soy oil stocks were 1.74 billion pounds, which is less than the 2.0 billion pound prereport estimate. Referring back to the mention in the corn section, the FSA’s prevented planted soybean acreage may result in an additional 332,000 acres of soybeans. This would put the 2016-17 planted acreage at 84 million acres versus the August USDA number of 83.7 million acres. The 2016-17 production number could grow by 14 million bushels to 4.06 billion bushels as forecasted by the USDA.

Weekly export sales were in the middle of forecasts with 6.5 million of old crop and 58.7 million bushels of new crop sold. This brings total export commitments for old crop to 1.94 billion bushels and staying well ahead of the 1.88 billion bushel USDA projection. The unusually large outstanding old crop sales of 176 million bushels is well above last year’s 56 million bushel figure for this spot in the crop year. Weekly export inspections were less than projected at 27.4 million bushels. Most are anticipating a healthy rollover of old crop sales into new crop. New crop export commitments are impressive at 564 million bushels versus only 384 million on the books last year. The USDA is forecasting 2016-17 exports at 1.95 billion bushels. It’s estimated that China has covered 85 percent of their September soybean needs, 60 percent for October, 20 percent for November and very little for beyond. Soybean basis across the Corn Belt was mixed this week with strength in the east and weakness in the west. Weakening soybean crush margins in Brazil were cited as a factor in two major companies announcing they have idled some of the processing capacity in Brazil. OUTLOOK: Soybeans are in a tug of war with a record crop in the making vs. excellent demand. The United States is the market of choice. November beans traded to their highest level since July 21 when they hit $10.17.5 this week. ❖

weaker this week. Growers are cleaning out on-farm storage and either selling into the market or moving the bushels into commercial storage. The Buenos Aires Grain Exchange is predicting Argentina’s 2016-17 corn acreage could increase 25 percent to 11.1 million acres, which is up from 8.9 million in the previous year. The surge in corn acres tips its hat to the elimination of the corn export tax. The Commitment of Traders report as of Aug. 16 showed speculators were net short 139,000 contracts after selling 20,000 during the week. The Federal Reserve minutes, released on Aug. 17, suggested lower odds of a rate hike this year. This provided fodder for the U.S. dollar index to decline. A weaker dollar usually provides underlying strength to commodities in general. In this instance, it helped offset the record yield and production forecasts. OUTLOOK: Traders are in denial that the U.S. corn crop will average 175.1 bushels per acre, as indicated on the August USDA crop report. The long-standing crop tour will begin Aug. 22 and will be monitored closely for pictures of tip-back or other yield reducing problems or for verification of the USDA’s 175.1 bushels per acre yield forecast. SOYBEANS — Strong demand and a weak U.S. dollar continued to provide strength to the soybean market as prices jumped higher throughout the week.

NYSTROM, from pg. 18 it looks like we’re in for above-average temperatures across the Midwest. It suggests we’ll miss any early frost threat and may be in for favorable harvest conditions. Total weekly export sales were within expectations with just 6.6 million bushels for old crop and 41 million bushels for new crop. We are winding down the old crop year and total commitments are 1.96 billion bushels, which is slightly higher than the USDA forecast for 1.925 billion bushels of exports. However, unshipped sales are 103 million bushels higher than last year at this time at 265.5 million bushels. Weekly export inspections (what actually gets shipped and reported every Monday) were the second-lowest in 11 weeks at 46.2 million bushels on Aug. 15. Weekly inspections need to average 56 million to reach the USDA export number. We expect a good portion of the unshipped sales will get rolled over into new crop. New crop export commitments are 179 percent of last year at 398 million bushels, getting us off to a strong start toward the USDA outlook for 2016-17 exports of 2.175 billion bushels. Weekly ethanol production provided a mid-week bump higher. Production rose by 11,000 barrels per day from the previous week to a record-tying 1.03 million bpd or 303 million gallons.

Forage insurance can cover yield loss, lack of rainfall that producer should be aware of. To make any changes to an existing AYP policy or sign up, the deadline is Sept. 30, and the date to report your 2017 acres is Nov. 15. Pasture, Rangeland and Forage Insurance: This plan of forage insurance is available to cover a single peril: lack of rainfall. There is specific data collected on the amount of historic rainfall within a grid (12 by 12 miles) that will determine the rainfall index for that grid ID, the rainfall data is collected at National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration weather stations and are not specific to each farm. A producer must select at least two, two-month intervals where precipitation is important to their operation. A loss may occur when the final grid index (rainfall occurring over that two-
month time) is less than the trigger index. The deadline for any changes, to sign up and to report acres for the PRF policy is Nov. 15. Winterkill: This is a standalone forage policy that protects against a single peril — winterkill. Producers are able to take this plan of insurance with any of the other plans listed above. Because this policy is offered as a private product, details are still being worked out for this plan of insurance for 2017 crop year. Additionally, forage seeding coverage is available to add to your spring policy. This is a good option to consider if you are concerned about the risks associated with new seeding. If you wish to cover winter wheat in Minnesota a request for coverage may be made by March 15, 2017, and a
growing season inspection must be done in order to obtain insurance on winter wheat. Sales closing for spring wheat is also March 15, 2017. Crop insurance should play an important role in any farm’s risk management plan because we can never be certain what Mother Nature or crop prices will bring during the crop year.

Any changes to an existing policy or to sign up a new policy must be done by Sept. 30. Area Yield Protection: This plan is based upon a loss in yield in a specific county. County yield information comes from National Agricultural Statistics Service data to determine if the final forage yield in the county will fall below a trigger yield to produce a payment. Losses are paid in the spring of the following crop year. Unlike the APH plan, there is no winterkill coverage with the AYP plan.

Benchmark revenue The county benchmark revenue for a given crop is the county BM yield times the BM price for the year, which is the same price across the United States. The BM prices for corn and soybeans for the 2015 crop year remained the same as 2014 BM prices, which are $5.29 per bushel for corn and $12.27 per bushel for soybeans. The BM prices are adjusted each year, using the USDA’s MYA price for the preceding five years, then dropping the high and low MYA price, and averaging the other three MYA prices. The 2015 BM county yield for a given crop was calculated by taking the average county yields for the previous five years (2010-2014), dropping the high and low yield, and averaging the other three yields. The BM corn yields in most Minnesota counties declined in 2015 due to the very low average county yields in 2014, as well as the elimination of the 2009 year from the BM calculation, which was a very strong yield year in most areas. Many counties in south-central, southwest and central Minnesota had the county BM corn yields decline by 8-12 bushels per acre from 2014 to 2015. The relationship between the final 2015 county yield and the 2015 county BM yields is extremely important in calculating potential 2015 ARC-CO payments for corn and soybeans. Following is a guide on the likelihood of 2015 ARC-CO payments at various Percentage of BM Yield levels at the current MYA price estimates ($3.60/bu. for corn and $8.95/bu. for soybeans).

TEALE, from pg. 18 ever so slightly and with little improvement in beef demand, the prospects for a turn-around in the current market over a long period of time seem remote. Producers should remain defensive in their attitude in the market and protect inventories as needed. The hog market is currently attempting to turn higher as cash prices began to level out ever so slightly during the past few weeks. Demand for pork has remained fairly good which is promising given the fact that there seems to be ample supplies of animals at the current time. The U.S. dollar has fallen recently against most foreign currencies which is promising to the export market and should assist in
demand for pork in the foreign markets. Given the fact that the futures market is at deep discounts the current cash price, the likelihood of a firming futures market appears to be favorable. However, the cash side will still depend on the availability of animals which seem to be ample to meet packer demand at this time. This will likely close the large gap between cash and futures over the next few weeks. Unless the supply of hogs begins to diminish or the demand for pork increases substantially in the shortterm, it is not very likely that a sustained rally is in the offing for the hog market. Producers should continue to remain current and protect their inventories as warranted. ❖

which are used to calculate the 2015 ARC-CO payments. The 2015 NASS county yields are available at http://www.nass.usda. gov/ Tables A and B show the likelihood of 2015 ARC-CO payments for corn and soybeans at the various final 2015 MYA prices, with various Percentage of BM Yield levels. There will likely be a large difference in the 2015 corn ARC-CO payments from county to county, depending on the final 2015 county yields. It appears that most counties in southern and western Minnesota will get a partial 2015 corn ARC-CO payment.

The likelihood of major movements in the final MYA prices decreases later in the 2015-16 marketing year, due to likely lower weightings for the monthly price averages in the final months. Adjustments can be made by USDA in the NASS yields which are used to calculate 2015 ARC-CO payments. 2014 corn yields in some counties were adjusted considerably downward due to a large number of unharvested acres in those counties. This adjustment is not likely to be as significant with 2015 NASS yields in the upper Midwest. There will likely be a 6.8 percent federal sequestration reduction on all 2015 ARC-CO payments paid in October 2016; similar to the 2014 ARC-CO payments that were paid in 2015. Previous county yields for corn, soybeans, and other crops, benchmark yields and revenues, 2014 FSA yields, 2014 ARC-CO payment levels, and other farm program information are available on the FSA ARC-PLC web site: www.fsa.usda.gov/arc-plc.

this is a panic buying wave or will be sustained,” according to Kurzawski. “Last time GDT raced up to 3000-ish (late 2015), it started with the physical offers outside GDT evaporating, forcing buyers onto the platform. As soon as buyers got their fill, they all stepped back and it came crashing back down to 1900. “This has been going on over the last month with NZ processors placing good chunks of volume into China and the Middle East at pricing in the low 2000s causing apparent near term tightness. The problem is that the supply funda-
mentals haven’t really changed in NZ from a production point of view. For this rally to be sustained their sales force will need to push a lot more volume at these levels,” Kurzawski writes. ■ Cash block cheddar cheese headed higher and butter saw a second week of decline the third week of August as traders absorbed the Aug. 16 GDT and awaited the Aug. 19 July Milk Production report.

National Milk asks government to purchase cheese MIELKE, from pg. 23 The blocks closed the morning of Aug. 19 at $1.8650 per pound, up 8.5 cents on the week, eliminating the inverted spread, 12.5 cents above a year ago, and the highest block price since November 2014. The barrels held all week at $1.8650, which is 17 cents above a year ago. This week, 27 cars of block sold and none of barrel. FC Stone summed things up in its Aug. 17 Early Morning Update: “The current trend must be respected as there are scattered, supportive aspects beginning to unfold on the global stage with the EU tapping the brakes on production and increasing cull rates, soft production also stemming from New Zealand, Australia and South America.” It also cited National Milk’s request that the government step in and purchase cheese in an effort to shore up prices. It remains to be seen whether (in this very political year) the Administration will do so. Dairy farmers have surely had a rough time of late but Class III futures have since strengthened and current contracts are well above $16 through July 2018. Dairy Market News reports that cheese production varies across the Central region — warning that, as Class I demand grows, some manufacturers will face dwindling milk supplies. Many report maximizing current milk intakes and are keeping vats as full as possible. Spot loads of milk are increasingly difficult to come by and few manufacturers report purchasing additional loads. Contacts feel that overall demand for cheese continues to grow and seem optimistic that demand will continue to grow. Inventories are mixed in the central region. Cheddar stocks are a little heavy, but have seen some relief the past few weeks. Western cheese output remains active and plenty of milk is available. Cheese makers in parts of the region are scrambling to get a few extra loads of
milk due to seasonal declines in production and the increased draw of fluid milk for school startups. Cheese inventories are long, but holding relatively steady. Retail demand is solid and manufacturers report cheese is moving well but a few contacts note a slight downturn in food service markets. ■ Butter continued its decline, closing at $2.19 per pound. This is down 6 cents on the week and 18 cents below a year ago when it skyrocketed 30.5 cents and eventually peaked at $3.1350 on Sept. 25, 2015. This week, 15 cars were sold. Churns are slowing for some manufacturers in the central region, according to Dairy Market News, as milk intakes are falling and production schedules are less active. Growth in demand is expected as Midwest schools begin again. Demand is steady from retail and food service outlets. A few buyers seeking butter, who had little success in previous weeks, were able to make purchases this week. Western butter production remains steady. Inventories are large but many contacts are comfortable with stock levels knowing that fourth quarter butter needs can be met, says Dairy Market News. ■ Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed Aug. 19 at 85.75 cents per pound, which is up 2.5 cents on the week and 9 cents above a year ago. Nine carloads found new homes on the week. The September Federal order Class I base milk price was announced by USDA at $16.56/cwt. This is up $1.49 from August, 22 cents above September 2015 and is the highest Class I price since December 2015. It equates to about $1.42 per gallon, up from $1.30 a month ago. The Nine month Class I average rests at $14.37, which is down from $16.33 at this

time a year ago and $23.18 in 2014. Speaking of Class I, challenges still exist in fluid consumption. June packaged fluid milk sales totaled 3.78 billion pounds, down 1.4 percent from June 2015, according to USDA. Conventional product sales totaled 3.56 billion pounds, down 1.8 percent from a year ago. Organic products, at 217 million pounds, were up 6.7 percent. Organic represented about 5.7 percent of total sales for the month. Whole milk sales totaled 1.18 billion pounds. This is up 4.6 percent from a year ago, with year-to-date running 5.0 percent above a year ago and making up 3.1 percent of total fluid sales. Skim milk sales were down 12.9 percent from a year ago and down 10.7 percent year-to-date. Total packaged fluid milk sales for the first half of 2016 totaled 20.68 billion pounds, down just 0.5 percent from the same period a year ago. Year-to-date sales of conventional products, at 23.2 billion pounds, were down 0.8 percent. Organic products, at 1.1 billion pounds, were up 5.6 percent. Organic represented about 5.2 percent of total fluid milk sales so far in 2016. ■ Dairy margins strengthened further through the first half of August following higher milk prices, while feed costs have held relatively steady since the end of July, according to the latest Margin Watch from Chicago-based Commodity and Ingredient Hedging. “Projected margins are now well above the 80th percentile of the past 10 years, and close to the 90th percentile in both spot Third Quarter and deferred Second Quarter 2017,” the Margin Watch states. “The key indicator from the past week was USDA’s release of the August WASDE report which was considered very bearish for the corn market, although the price response has been different. “In a shock to most industry observers, USDA sharply increased their projections for both corn yield and production well above industry estimates. Yield was estimated up 7.1 bushels from July at 175.1 bushels per acre with total corn production forecast up 613 million bushels from the previous estimate to 15.153 billion. As a result, ending stocks are now projected at 2.409 billion bushels, the highest since 2004-05. Despite the bearish implications from the report, corn is actually trading higher based on the assumption that most of the recent price weakness had already discounted expectations for a larger crop. “Spot cash prices are now below $3.00 per bushel in many locations, and focus is shifting to the strong pace of demand. In the August report, USDA also lowered their 2016 milk production forecast,” as reported previously, and the Margin Watch concludes that “higher expected milk prices and lower feed costs are anticipated to support modest herd expansion and greater milk per cow later this year and into 2017.” Lee Mielke is a syndicated columnist who resides in Everson, Wash.

Honoring our dead: Most meaningful mowing job

sacred ground, holy ground. It taught them about the brevity of this life, given the fact that they knew people who were buried there. It also gave them a healthy respect for our veterans who also rest there. Memorial Day weekend brought about a thick sprinkling of flowers and flags and made it seem a little less like a forgotten place. It was actually a beautiful place every year then. It would be difficult to return to that job now, given the fact that our children have all grown up and are living their own lives. But over the years I have been grateful for that time spent together as a family doing something that mattered, and for what it taught our children about compassion, care for those who have gone before us, respect and responsibility. George Burns once said, “Don’t take life too seriously — we’re not getting out of it alive anyway.” He was right. And after we’re gone, someone will be along with lawn equipment to mow around our stones, helping others see that we, too, were once among the living. It’s the important legacy of a cemetery caretaker even if it starts out as a farm kid’s summer job. Karen Schwaller brings “Table Talk” to The Land from her home near Milford, Iowa.

it’s difficult not to draw parallels between “Esther the Wonder Pig” and the Marley empire. Both are based on adorably tiny animals that quickly grew to sizes unexpected by their humans. Their proportions caused the pets to wreak havoc on their homes, the stories of which are told with great amusement. The difference is that author Steve Jenkins (and Derek Walter with Caprice Crane) took Esther’s story beyond this book. Esther, today, is a spokes … uh, pig for the bettering of the lives of farm animals and the encouragement of a vegan lifestyle. Because of this tale and their Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary, fewer little piggies (and cows and chickens) go to market. This is a quick book to read. And, if you’re an animal lover, you’ll particularly want it now. For you, “Esther the Wonder Pig” will make you say, “Whee! Whee! Wheeeee!” The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terri has been reading since she was 3 years old and never goes anywhere without a book. She lives in Wisconsin with three dogs and 10,000 books. ❖

Research continues in prevention of avian flu emerge,” Johnson said. “We have an intense chain of actions if and when a laboratory confirms a bird is sick with H5N2. The state health department contacts the flock owner to get a list of symptoms; then state officials contact each individual worker at that turkey farm via daily text, e-mail or phone. Meanwhile, all birds on the farm are killed by farm employees or state and/or federal contract workers.” Prevention What’s unique about this revamped avian flu research effort is that it is tied directly with extension outreach. “It’s not just doing the applied research that helps the farmer and the industry,” Johnson said. “It’s also about training the next generation of scientists. It’s about reaching out to the communities experiencing an outbreak. So here at this center we are helping to establish courses in collaboration with Ridgewater Community College that can bring genomics and this cutting edge science out to rural Minnesota. “A second objective at this center is outreach to area high school students so these new sciences can be implanted into their thinking. Future preparation of the next generation is always important — maybe even more so when we discuss animal health, the disappearance of antibiotics and the introduction of a new industry of probiotics for better livestock health and human health too,” said Johnson. What caused the rather sudden onset and demise of avian flu in 2015 remains under research. Many factors were at play. See AVIAN FLU, pg. 30

sequences and do hundreds of bacteria. Data comes in rapidly, but it’s a long process getting to the goal.” Development The feed industry, flush with years of earnings from the antibiotic markets, are equally ambitious in their efforts to create new probiotic products. “This is their future,” noted Johnson. He explained that university teams need the collaboration of industry to get potential new products into the development stage. The Willmar location is particularly advantageous for this joint effort because both Jennie-O Turkey and Willmar Poultry are headquartered there. Feed manufacturers such as Land-O-Lakes and Purina generously support research and development efforts in getting probiotics into their feed formulation. “We’re working together,” said Johnson. “We have multiple partnerships and that greatly speeds our total efforts while also spreading out the financials for these costly efforts.” Johnson credits the major feed manufacturers for quickly realizing these new efforts aren’t just to pad their bottom line dollar. “Better health is the objective; but coming up with products and tools so producers can more easily figure out what’s going on and then treat accordingly is primary,” he said. Avian flu Breeders have been developing stronger turkeys which do a better job of resisting disease. However, Johnson said there is a trade-off. “You can make a turkey more disease-resistant; but sometimes there can be a detrimental effect in terms of growth or feed efficiency,” he said. “It’s a constant balancing game for the breeders between optimal performance and optimal disease resistance.” Minnesota leads in turkey research. “With the implementation of this research program here in Willmar under the direction of Dr. Cardona, the University of Minnesota’s Pomeroy Chair in Avian Health, I think this Willmar facility will be recognized as the center of turkey and poultry research,” he said. Johnson noted that Iowa State University, because of Iowa being the number-one producer of layers for the egg industry, is also ramping up its efforts in layer research. Biosecurity and other factors are influencing the impact of avian flu. From June 2015 to July 2016, there has not been a single reported case of the disease. So is turkey flu soon to be history? “I’m not going to speculate, but we’ve seen big changes in biosecurity the past years,” Johnson replied. “Lots of new thinking on what people are doing to be more cautious about the spread of the virus — be that airborne or the movement of vehicles from feed suppliers to turkey farms and the trafficking of people.” A highly coordinated response plan is in place for avian flu outbreaks. “We are much better prepared should a new break
THE LAND, AUGUST 26, 2016
By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer WILLMAR, Minn. — A change in antibiotic use in livestock and poulty is bringing cooperation among pharmaceutical companies, universities, feed manufacturers and livestock producers. Beginning Jan. 1, 2017, the Food Timothy and Drug Administration’s Veteri- Johnson nary Feed Directive goes into effect. According to the FDA fact sheet, the VFD eliminates the use of medically important antibiotics used for production purposes, such as growth promotion and feed efficiency, that are administered in feed. These antibiotics can still be used for animal health, but only under the supervision of a veterinarian. Livestock producers will need a VFD to administer medically important antibiotics in feed. Now the livestock industry is buzzing with talk and research of the use of probiotics instead of antibiotics. Probiotics already are a popular alternative for people. According to the Mayo Clinic website, probiotics are microorganisms that are a type of “good” bacteria that offer protection from harmful bacteria. Probiotics may help aid the digestive system and prevent or reduce the severity of colds and flu. Are probiotics the answer for livestock? Timothy Johnson, from the department of veterinary and biomedical sciences at the University of Minnesota St. Paul campus, spends two days each week at the new Mid-Central Research and Outreach Center on the MinnWest Technology campus in Willmar. In a July visit, Johnson discussed some of the ongoing research — particularly as it relates to avian flu and other issues with turkeys. “Our goal is to indentify alternative products that can do the same thing these various growth promoting products have been doing for many years – in essence, prevent disease and maintain health while also increasing feed efficiency,” said Johnson. This takes time. Already over five years of research has identified some of the baseline bacteria turkeys have. “We knew that growth promoting antibiotics shift the activity of these various bacteria,” Johnson explained. “They kill some, but also promote the growth of other bacteria which in turn help the bird to become healthier. What we’re trying to do is identify all those bacteria, isolate them, grow them and then use them as probiotics against the bird itself to promote the same effect as the antibiotics normally do.” Johnson said so far they have identified and isolated about 3,000 different bacteria. “We know not all will work in our efforts to generate new probiotics,” he said. “So our goal is narrowing down these 3,000 into a handful that we think are the best bet for promoting growth and health in the bird.” But things move quickly in this new world of technology. “We used to be able to sequence maybe one bacterium in a day. Now we can generate millions of

Industry still wary of virus AVIAN FLU from pg. 29 “It’s not clear what was the single biggest contributor,” Johnson said, “But it has been shown there were multiple introductions from the environment — potentially via migratory birds. A concentration of turkey production in a given area presents the potential for airborne spreading of the virus is documented by University of Minnesota research. Also the complexity of vehicles and human traffic has developed strong biosecurity measures such as the Danish entry system which basically creates another layer of protection to keep the flock safe from outside entry of the virus.” Johnson compliments Minnesota turkey growers with their rapid adaption of strategies. “These are sharp people,” he said. “They quickly figure things out on their own and are very receptive to information that we can also provide.” Johnson shed light on why there was no virus outbreak this spring. He reasons that changes implemented to prevent spreading should a virus hit the ground ould be a factor. It’s also possi-
ble that no birds were carrying the virus this spring. The sampling of feces from wildlife continues at the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. “The DNR has been sampling nonstop upstairs in this building,” Johnson said. “They’ve done over 8,000 samples of water taken from area turkey farms looking for the virus and found not one positive. The vet diagnostic lab at the university also considerably stepped up its efforts providing faster and better tests. That boils down to simply being ready to find that virus should it occur.” A pervasive uneasiness still exists within the turkey and poultry industry. Despite intense scrutiny, federal and academic scientists still cannot say for certain how poultry and turkey farms became infected. Planning for epidemics, animal or human, is to a large extent based on what the disease did the last time. It is difficult to predict what a disease will do next. As using antibiotics without a veterinarian’s prescription is soon to be history, the livestock and poultry industry stays concerned. ❖
Strategy for coop designs To create a backyard oasis for your birds, think long-term for location, space and design. Some cities have regulations about distance to buildings, roads or property lines. A flat area simplifies the process and the area should have good drainage. The coop location should provide both sun and shade for the birds and should be close to water, electricity and feed storage. There are three primary chicken coop types: chicken tractors, chicken wagons and stationery coops. Chicken tractors are best suited for small flocks that live in big yards. The structures are built similarly to a wheelbarrow, with two wheels and handles for mobility. Chicken wagons work well for those wanting a large, movable coop. The wagons are on four wheels and have a ramp for birds to enter. The wagon can be moved to various parts of the yard. Chicken sheds, or stationery coops with runs, are the most common form of chicken coops. Easily maintained, they are also easiest to predator-proof. Regardless of the design, adequate space is essential. Provide at least 4 square feet of indoor space and 5-10 square feet of outdoor space per bird.
Provide at least 2 feet of roosting space per bird for sleeping. Chickens like to sleep high off the ground. A board that measures 2 by 4 inches, with the wide edge facing up can work well for a roost. Build nesting boxes with easy access for egg removal. A general rule is to provide one 1-foot square nest box for every four or five hens because the flock will take turns using the boxes. Keep the nests up off the floor in the darkest corner of the coop. A coop should have a covered outdoor run for the birds to enjoy fresh air. It provides shelter from weather and direct sunlight. Secondly, it provides security from predators. It also provides a measure of biosecurity by not allowing droppings from wild birds to land in the area occupied by chickens. As days get shorter, hens need additional light to continue laying eggs. In order to provide 17 hours of light per day, add electrical outlets to coops. Allow one incandescent 40-watt or LED 9 to 13-watt bulb per 100 square feet of coop space. You can use an automatic timer.

both an inside and outside camera to monitor activities. This structure gets a lot of work being used for calving, breeding cows using AI, vaccinations and sorting cows, calves and replacement heifers. “Seems we’re continually generating new stuff to plug into our computerized information systems to better manage and track our herd,” said Wiesen. Information is exported to spread sheets to better evaluate progeny performance by sires. This generates cow inventory reports and projected calving dates of each cow. They calved out 145 cows this spring and the number keeps expanding. “We add a few cows every year, five, 10 head or so. I don’t see us stopping anytime soon. My son is coming into the operation, so we need to find more ways to generate more revenue to support two families. That’s why we keep growing.” With a chuckle, Wiesen said his education came from “The school of hard knocks right here on this farm!” But there’s a bit more. After graduating from Hendricks High School, he received his degree in information and business systems. His son, Jordan, graduated from South Dakota State University with a degree in animal science. But the real start to Wiesen Farms dates back to 1955 and Cletus and Dorothy Wiesen, who were Nebraska veterans of the Dust Bowl. Cletus, age 91, explained: “We were heading north planning to go fishing but we never did fish. We got dried out three years in a row and we were a young couple just starting out. I was up here buying corn to feed a few hogs and I thought, ‘To heck with this. Let’s see if we can find something in Minnesota that will at least grow a crop.’” Cletus found 160 acres plus an adjoining 80 and thus the start of Wiesen Farms. “It was a terribly rough looking farm, run down,” Cletus said. “Lots of rocks and work to be done. We worked hard those first years. The buildings were a mess, but I didn’t care much about that. The house we lived in for 17 years; but finally had to build a new one.” Cletus and Dorothy retired into Canby years ago. Now he’s just a “snoopervisor” as he puts it. Life has been rewarding.

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer HENDRICKS, Minn. — Starting with the purchase of 10 Hereford heifers in the mid-1960s, then evolving into Angus a few years later, the Wiesen Limousin Farm in Hendricks, Minn. added their first Limousin bull in 1992. Today, due to Jim Wiesen an aggressive herd improvement plan, their herd consists exclusively of commercial and purebred Limousin cattle. They noticed calves from one sire stood out. So they retained heifers from this sire and the result was a gradual improvement in the quality of their cow herd. Today they collect birth weight, weaning weight and sale weight data for each calf. They use their intensive information base to identify the traits their next bull needs to further improve the quality, the uniformity of their calves, replacement heifers and ultimately their cow herd. Because of this intensive screening program, which has promoted heavy artificial insemination usage of one bull, about onethird of their cows have pedigrees that are nearly identical. Jim Wiesen, 60, explained why they changed to Limousin. “They’re heavy-muscled which tends to keep them on the lean side. They’re efficient eaters. The breed seems to be attracting more buyers — both in the breeding end of the business and finished animals into the processed beef markets. We sell our 600 to 650-pound feeder calves to Wolf Cattle which puts them into their NHTC (non-hormone treated cattle) finishing yards for marketing to a selected packer,” he said. “We get individual carcass data back on each animal and from that we can determine if we’re hitting the target which is 80 percent or better choice and a yield grade of 3 or better.” A yield grade of 1 is good; a grade 4 (over finished) will get you docked by the packer. This packer even provides information on marbling scores, something they needed to improve, said Wiesen. Solution? Buy sires with higher marbling scores. They did and marbling scores improved so mission accomplished. More progeny from just one selected bull has resulted in more uniform calves, more high quality calves, a larger pool of heifer calves suitable for replacement and a more uniform herd of cows. “By producing more quality calves from one bull we can justify the higher cost of the right bull,” said Wiesen — noting their calves today continually score in the top 10 percent of the Limousin breed. Because of accumulated costs to get a cow into production, extended calving frequency is vital. “We get our cows up to 11 or 12 years of age before we start culling, even though they still could produce additional calves. We’ve found that if we sell them when they are still in good condition there is more salvage value,” explained Wiesen. “We target for at least 10 calves per cow.” In 2009 they replaced an old barn with a new 28 by 45 foot calving barn. As often happens, there have been a few changes and additions since including

Yield, survival issues for late flooded corn, soybeans Recent heavy rains in central and west-central Minnesota has resulted in standing water and saturated soil conditions in area crop fields. Reported rainfall amounts have ranged from 4 to 6 inches in the Hutchinson area to 9 inches in the Olivia and Willmar areas. Such high levels of rainfall are of concern for corn and soybean farmers late in the season since replanting of crops is no longer an option. The final impact on crop yield will not be known until harvest. Crops inundated by standing water at this time of the year typically do not survive as long as those similarly affected earlier in the season due to the warmer air and soil temperatures. Oxygen deprivation in saturated soils quickly causes significant deterioration and death of above and belowground plant tissue. Affected crops may only survive a few days with typical August temperatures. Corn and soybean plants that are damaged by these wet conditions may need to be harvested early or first if lodging or soybean pod shattering occurs. There are a number of key issues for corn in recently flooded or saturated soil conditions in August. Deposits of sediment and crop
early September for the possible development of stalk rots and modify harvest-timing strategies accordingly. Nitrogen loss will occur in fields where nitrogen from fertilizer or organic nitrogen from the soil was present in nitrate from before the soils became excessively wet. In fine-textured soils, water-saturated conditions cause nitrogen loss through denitrification. Denitrification rates increase after about a day under oxygendepleted conditions that result when soil pore space is filled with water. Under these conditions, soil microbes utilize nitrate for respiration, and nitrogen is released as a bi-product in gaseous forms that are lost to the atmosphere. For each day the soil remains saturated with water under warm soil temperatures, it is possible to lose as much as 5 percent of the nitrate-nitrogen in the soil. In coarse-textured soils or soils intensively tiled, nitrogen loss occurs mostly by leaching below the root zone or into tile lines. Effects of such nitrogen loss on crops this late in the growing season are difficult to estimate; but, coupled with significant root damage by saturated soils, will contribute to increased stress in corn during the remainder of the grain fill-
ing period. Soybeans There are also key issues for soybeans in recently flooded or saturated soil conditions in August. Soybeans in their reproductive stages are significantly more injured by flooding than early vegetative soybeans. There is simply less time to recover, and stresses during this time of the year tend to affect yield more directly than earlier stresses. There are also direct effects on the soybeans — basically a cessation of growth while the roots are flooded. Indirect effects are more numerous as well such as root rots, loss of nodulation and nitrogen fixation and loss of nitrogen from the soil profile. Late season flooding followed by warm conditions can create conducive environments for certain fungal diseases. Scouting for diseases like sudden death syndrome and white mold after flooding will help develop appropriate management plans. Finally, soybeans which are flooded may appear more yellow and produce lower protein seed than non-flooded soybeans. This article was submitted by University of Minnesota Extension. ❖

residues that remain on crop plants once the water recedes can either outright smother any surviving plants or greatly reduce their ability to capture sunlight and photosynthesize carbohydrates. Mud and crud which cakes the leaves and stalks encourage subsequent development of fungal and bacterial diseases in damaged plant tissue. Crops that technically survive less severe bouts of ponding and saturated soils nevertheless suffer significant damage to their root systems. The immediate effects will be stunting of plant development. In the longer term, root systems compromised by ponding and saturated soils today will be less able to sustain the crops during the remainder of the grain filling period. The effects of such compromised root systems will be more dramatic if hot and dry conditions prevail over coming weeks. Corn For corn, damage to its root system today will predispose the crop to the development of root and stalk rots later by virtue of the photosynthetic stress imposed by the limited root system during the important grain filling period following pollination.

practices over the years, including an intense focus on cover crops. About 15 years ago, they purchased 55 acres of oak savanna prairie just down the gravel road from their farm. Early on, the Cotters experienced success along with setbacks that left them questioning cover crops. “Trial and error, trial and error,” Tom Cotter said, adding that cover crops require patience. Weed suppression was a big reason for the Cotters’ initial interest in trying cover crops. But they’ve found other benefits: better water infiltration; less tillage, chemicals and labor costs; and often higher crop yields. These past two years have shown the true benefits of incorporating cover crops into their farming, Tom Cotter said. A 2 acre wet spot has disappeared after cover crops were planted in that area during that time, he added, showing the practice has helped improve water infiltration in the soil. Overall, the Cotters started with 60 acres of cover crops before expanding to 300 acres this year, using an air seeder to plant cover crops into
standing corn. They plan next year to farm 500 to 600 acres in soybeans planted into cover crops. Tom also has been able to use the cover crops as a feed source for his beef cattle. The practice has allowed the Cotters to avoid plowing the cover crop land and use much less chemicals for controlling weeds. Mower SWCD also gave its Outstanding Wildlife Conservationist Award to the Southland Sportsmen’s Club. Started in the 1980s, the club works to acquire land to set aside for wildlife and public hunting, said club leader Gary Noterman. Club members plan to create a small shooting range at the site, and they planted seed there this spring for about half of the property under the federal Conservation Reserve Program that removes environmentally sensitive land from farm production and plants species to improve its health and quality.

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondents Tim (story) and Jan (photos) King
Sidewalk gallery T
here are more than 20 sculptures on display on the sidewalks of the downtown area of Bemidji. “My favorite is HumptyDumpty,” said a waitress at the Tutto Bene Italian restaurant. “He makes me smile everyday when I come to work.” “My wife’s favorite is by the printing shop,” said James, a baker at TNT Tastery bakery. “It’s kind of an arbor over the entryway. What’s your favorite?” Locals and visitors can choose their favorite sculpture on Bemidji’s Sculpture Walk one day and have a new favorite the next day. They can choose from a girl playing a violin or “Little Leo and the Magic Birdbath.” There is “Noctua” — an attractive round concrete abstraction, as well as a dream catcher called “Journey Through the Sacred Hoop.” Then there’s a bronze called “Picking Tulips.” A shocking purple bench-like creation was made by opening up a steel propane tank. And ... many more abstract and not so abstract creations. But if you choose a favorite this year, be prepared to lose “your” sculpture next year. Since 1999, the Bemidji Sculpture Walk has been working with local and regional sculptors to turn the downtown area into an outdoor art museum. Each year they invite sculptors to submit samples of their work and each year 20 to 30 sculptors apply to have their work displayed on the Sculpture Walk. There is a small chance that your favorite sculpture from 2016 will still be in the 2017 collection. It will likely be replaced by some new creation, however. You can, of course, buy your favorite sculpture. “A few sculptures are sold every year,” Al Belleveau, president of the Sculpture Walk Committee said. Judd Nelson’s steel girl sending a text message is
Downtown Bemidji, Minn. available this year for $4,400. It’s called “Lost In Space.” “This teenage girl is typical of what I see happening in public places every day. It doesn’t matter what age or gender, when people gather in groups they tend to isolate themselves and zone into their smartphones,” Nelson writes on the Sculpture Walk website. “One definition of an artist is to record the world around us. This sculpture does just that.” But you don’t have to own the sculptures on the Bemidji Sculpture Walk to have them challenge you, cause you to smile with their playfulness, inspire you with their beauty and craftsmanship, and perhaps jar loose some long-forgotten but cherished memories. Those are some of the things art is intended to do for us isn’t it? Visit bemidjisculpture.org for more information on the Bemidji Sculpture Walk. ❖
