field’s American-bred, born and butchered hogs will flow to China and no Chinese pork will float to the United States either by ship, raft or river. Promise? Number 6: Smithfield’s Wilmington, N.C., port facility can now be used to import South American corn and soybeans — as it was in the summer of 2012, according to several published reports — for its 862,000 Chineseowned sows in the United States rather than its 862,000 Americanowned sows in United States. Number 5: Ironically, when (if, in some government circles) the buy-out is complete, a Chinese company — which farrows, feeds and slaughters about one in five American-grown hogs each year — will pay an estimated $16 million to the mandatory, non-refundable U.S. pork checkoff, based on 2012’s total checkoff collections of $81 million. And, irony upon irony, that amount is more than double the $7 million the pork checkoff budgeted last year to boost, as its strategic plan explains, the
“U.S. share of global exports of pork” by 2014. “Sell Smithfield to a Chinese company,” however, was not part of the checkoff ’s published strategy. Number 4: Most analysts predict the purchase will lead to greater U.S. pork exports to the Forbidden Kingdom. That would be a good thing because American per capita pork consumption, on a carcass basis, continues to slide, down 12 percent (from 66.9 pounds to 59.2 pounds) in the last decade, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service. Number 3: “Unlike other Chinese companies that have loomed large on the world stage,” reported the Wall Street Journal on May 30, “Shuanghui isn’t state-controlled.” Translation: the country is communist; the company probably isn’t.

Wet conditions in Minnesota continued to hamper field work for the week ending June 9, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. There were just 2.6 days rated suitable for fieldwork statewide. Statewide average temperatures were 6.6 degrees below normal. The Central District showed the greatest deviation from normal temperatures at 8.1 degrees below normal. Topsoil moisture supplies increased to zero percent very short, 1 percent short, 60 percent adequate and 39 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture supplies also increased to 1 percent very short, 7 percent short, 70 percent adequate and 22 percent surplus. Corn planting only advanced three percentage points to 90 percent, remaining behind last year’s 100 percent and the five-year average of 99 percent. Corn emergence increased 13 percentage points to 78 percent, remaining behind last year’s 100 per-
cent and the average of 95 percent. The statewide average corn height was 3 inches tall, compared to 13 inches last year, and the average of 7 inches. Corn condition decreased to 2 percent very poor, 6 percent poor, 37 percent fair, 50 percent good and 5 percent excellent. Despite the wet conditions, soybean planting advanced 17 percentage points to 72 percent planted, behind last year’s 99 percent and the average of 95 percent. Soybean emergence also moved along to 38 percent emerged, compared with last week’s 18 percent, last year’s 92 percent and the average of 78 percent. Planting of barley, oats, and spring wheat all advanced three percentage points. Oat emergence advanced 12 percentage points which was the most progress of the small grains. Alfalfa hay first cutting has gotten off to a slow start with a total of 7 percent complete. Pasture condition improved to 63 percent good to excellent, compared with 59 percent the previous week. ❖

From the Fields: ‘Right where the good Lord wants us’ have likely passed. He knows that if he’s not done planting in two weeks, then he won’t finish at all. When it rains, it pours, and that certainly is the case in the Northfield area. As bleak and overcast as the weather has been, just the sight of the sun shining would be a welcome sight and a ray of hope for Messner. It’s been a difficult growing season already and it’s just getting started.
By KRISTIN KVENO The Land Correspondent
The Brandts Ada, Minn. In the Ada area, the weather has been fairly kind to farmers this planting season. Danny Brandt is the first to acknowledge that he Danny Brandt is “happy and thankful” for the weather conditions so far. When The Land spoke with him on May 28, 3 inches of rain had fallen upon the area in the previous two weeks — and the moisture “came down real nice.” Brandt said he was two days away from finishing beans. Wheat, corn and sugar beets were already in the ground, and “emergence has been strong.” There have been some issues with crusting over in beet fields around the area, but the Brandt farm did not experience this. “Most of our beets are coming through,” he said. The next step for Brandt, once planting is finished, is to get the sprayers out. He said he likes to keep a close eye on the fields, as well as seek advice from local agronomists. “We feel that everything is coming right into place.” Dedication is evident on the Brandt farm, and definitely was the case on May 24 when hired man Nathan Mattson wanted to work until 3 p.m., with his graduation from high school set for that evening. “I don’t even want to know how many minutes are on my phone,” Brandt said. He uses his time in the planter to speak with fellow farmers on his cell phone. This “networking” allows for venting about planting frustrations, seeking of advice, and just discussing the ups and downs of farming. “We’re right where the good Lord wants us to be,” Brandt said. With the planting season wrapping up and the crop now in the ground, that’s not a bad place to be.
The Johnsons Starbuck, Minn. The planting season is moving along, and Scott Johnson is happy to have his planter in the ground and moving as well. He finished corn back on May 15, and reported that half of
The Laubenthals Swea City, Iowa
his beans have been planted. When The Land spoke to Johnson on May 28 he was in the tractor rolling bean ground and noticing that rain drops were starting to land on his Scott Johnson windshield. “There’s a chance of rain every day this week.” Johnson said. That’s not exactly the forecast Johnson was hoping for. “We’ve been doing OK; we’d like to be done.” Johnson estimated the beans would all be in the ground in four days if the rain stayed away. All the corn planted at the Johnson farm is up. The corn planting “went really well,” he said. “Nothing really slowed us down.” Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the bean planting. Johnson is hopeful that everything will get planted before any more major weather hits the area. “We just want to finish everything up,” he said. “We’re catching up; we’d like to be further.” He is also looking at the markets and knows he’ll have some grain to haul later this summer. Meanwhile, making that last big push to get the beans in is the focus at the Johnson farm. Rain drops on the windshield will have to wait.
The Messners Northfield, Minn. The last day that Chris Messner planted was May 16. It would be won-
derful to say that he completed spring work that day, but that is far from reality. For the previous 12 days the Northfield area had been hit hard with challenging planting conditions, Chris Messner due to the continuous wet weather pattern that wouldn’t seem to leave the area. When The Land spoke to Messner on May 28 he estimated he had planted two-thirds of his planned corn crop and none of the beans. The short-term goal at the Messner farm is to continue planting corn within the week if conditions improve enough to be in the field. “The thought of not planting is too tough for some farmers,” Messner said. Unfortunately some farmers in the area haven’t put a single seed in the ground. He estimated that around the Northfield area about 40 percent of corn is planted. “I feel fortunate that we got planted what we did,” Messner said. “The corn is emerging OK.” Messner advises many farmers at his job at Central Valley Co-op, and he’s getting a lot of questions about what they should do — whether to switch corn varieties, switch to beans, or prevented planting. Every situation is a little different but are all weatherdependent. He admitted that the opportunities for a “super” crop or even a great crop
Charlie Laubenthal wrapped up corn planting on May 16 and that night the farm received 4 1/2 inches of rain. By the time The Land spoke Charlie Laubenthal to him on May 29, an additional 2 1/2 inches had fallen. “We’re saturated,” said Laubenthal. His fields have areas of ponding and he estimates there’s going to be “lots of replant.” Laubenthal believes that if the sun started shining this day, he would still be a week away from getting back into the fields to start beans. “Everybody’s pretty quiet, looking at their mess,” he said of his fellow area farmers. Being a seasoned farmer, Laubenthal knows that this is “nothing we haven’t seen before.” While he can’t control Mother Nature, he’s hopeful for drier weather. The corn is all up with 2 to 3 leaves, and the planter has been switched over and is ready for bean planting. Once weather improves Laubenthal believes it will take a week to get the beans in the ground. He added that in addition to that work, around five to 10 percent of his corn is in need of replanting — “That’s a pretty good chunk.” Despite all of the rain, he didn’t sit at home moping over Memorial Day weekend. “We took the weekend off and went to the Mall of America for our 25th anniversary.” Laubenthal knows that despite all of their spring planting struggles, it’s “not all doom and gloom; it could be worse.” Celebrating 25 years of wedded bliss may have been the silver lining on an otherwise rainy day, and getting a little retail therapy in couldn’t hurt. ❖

Cheese is big business for Bongards’ Creameries you’re making upwards of 30 different kinds of cheese you also have tons of whey products for the food manufacturing industry. The Bongards’ website clearly spells out that their secret to success is their natural cheese. “By making our own natural cheese, we have total control over its quality and consistency. It’s an important point of difference, because most other processed manufacturers simply buy their natural cheese on the open market and are forced to accept whatever quality is available that day. “We’re the only processed cheese maker in Minnesota,” Beringer said. Their whey gets sold for human consumption as protein in a variety of different products. At the Perham plant the whey powder is formulated to produce whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate 80 percent and deproteinized whey powder.
Processed and shredded cheese are the primary products at their recently acquired plant in Humboldt, Tenn., along with processed and analog cheese blends. Bongards’ employs more than 400 people across its three plant locations. Beringer said that because Bongards’ does some private label, certain cheese products logically do get marketed across the United States and even overseas. The firm provides a website ordering process which does in fact deliver products worldwide.
THE LAND, JUNE 14, 2013
Beringer said that imported cheese could be seen as a marketing challenge, but that it could just as easily be a marketing stimulant for Bongards’ products. “Cheese consumption keeps increasing. So as consumers expand their cheese tastes, just perhaps some of that new cheese experience includes a Bongards’ cheese.” See BONGARDS, pg. 10

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer When it comes to sourcing milk for the thousands of tons of cheese products manufactured at Bongards’ Creameries, based in Bongards, Minn., the entire state is their provider. Procurement Manager Tom Beringer points out that hundreds Tom Beringer of milk trucks are on the road every day across Minnesota and Bongards’ does milk trades with other co-ops thus the constant routing of trucks as needed to both of Bongards’ Minnesota plants. Today more than 400 dairy producers send milk to Bongards’, the furthest is a dairy farmer only six miles from the Canadian border who ships his milk to the Perham, Minn., plant. Why not contract locally with area dairy farmers? Like with any prospering business the key phrase is “follow the money.” “Milk swaps simply make it easier to secure milk statewide,” Beringer said. That means on any given day milk on truck A might be 10 cents cheaper than milk on truck B because of milk availability at a particular distribution plant. “Also Bongards’ has been around a hundred years (since 1908).We now have a plant in Perham (since 2003). There are lots of dairy farms in that area so good availability is assured,” he said. Because of the high quality standards of Bongards’ product, dairy farmers selling to Bongards’ have to meet the same high standards. The company handles about 2.5 million pounds of milk daily. That converts to about 250,000 pounds of cheese. Cheese is Bongards’ only product, but when

State of the dairy industry appears to be improving By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Minnesota milk checks may soon be written in black ink. “Based on corn and milk futures prices, the second half of 2013 looks to be more profitable to me,” said Jim Salfer, University of Minnesota
Extension dairy specialist. The frosting may get sweeter. Get that 14.1 billion bushel crop that the U.S. Department of Agriculture earlier predicted and $4.50 to $5 corn could be a reality. That corn price matched with $18 to $19 milk prices puts some “real money” into the bank account of most

dairy farmers, he predicts. The cushion carrying the Minnesotanorthern Iowa dairy farmer is the surprisingly good harvest of the 2012 corn crop which has kept a reasonable lid on corn prices ($5.50 area currently). “Compared with much of the nation our crop yields bordered on ‘unbelievable’ last fall,” Salfer said, indicating most dairy farmers came through 2012 better than expected. This extra income, especially for crop farmers, is the spike that continues to push land prices to all-time highs. He acknowledges dairy enterprise revenue lags behind crop enterprise revenues.“But farmers don’t spend money by enterprise; they spend money by wholefarm profitability. So with lower feed prices this fall and steady to stronger milk prices, I think we’ll see lots of smiling faces in this milking business,” Salfer said. Dairy farms that grow most of their own feed crop are healthy right now. “However the struggles the past couple of years are younger dairy farmers renting their facilities and buying all their feed. Traditionally that has been a good way to get started but since 2007 when feed prices and milk prices started wildly fluctuating, dairy income for these younger producers has also fluctuated wildly and that has been very discouraging for this segment,” Salfer said. The economic model for this scenario is that after you’ve got your cows paid for, you start looking for farmland to purchase. “But this rapid escalation of land prices just further discourages these young entrepreneurs. And that unfortunately is why some of these recent startups in the dairy business have had to fold up shop and find work in some other enterprise,” Salfer said. Minnesota milk production Overall Minnesota milk production the past couple of years has stayed relatively flat around 9 billion pounds per year.That means cow numbers don’t change much from year to year even though herd num-
bers continue a downward trend. Current number is about 4,200 dairy farms in Minnesota with about 460,000 cows so average herd size is about 110 cows. Milk production averages about 22,000 pounds per cow in Minnesota. Minnesota ranks seventh nationwide in milk production with California, Wisconsin and Idaho first, second and third, respectively. Despite early concerns about winter kill of alfalfa, Salfer doubts it will be significant in Minnesota but definitely an issue in Wisconsin. “We’ll see some problems in the southeast portion of the state. Problem fields are mostly those seeded last fall when soils were dry. They just didn’t germinate properly and develop a good root system. Coupled with an open winter and in some cases an aggressive cutting last fall are likely causes,” he said. So how does this relate to break-even milk prices? He said $18 to $20 milk is the current range, and future prices for the balance of 2013 look pretty good. During spring, fluid milk consumption decreases because school lets out and children don’t drink as much milk at home. The extra milk ends up in cheese vats, so right now we are producing more cheese nationally. It will take a little while for summer consumption to increase milk consumption because of summer burger grilling and ice cream demand. Perhaps another reason for stronger milk futures is the lower heifer numbers which currently are only about 31 1/2 heifers for every 100 cows. A more normal count is 40 heifers retained per 100 cows. He said that few dairy farmers contract sell their milk unless they are highly leveraged. Then both they and their banker can’t afford the risk of not having some contract protection. Bigger producers are more into contract marketing, tending to lock-in both milk and feed prices when there’s a period of profit opportunity ahead. “But mid-$5 corn and $20 milk should generate good money this fall and winter,” Salfer said. ❖

had wanted to be a dairy farmer; he just wanted a good supply of milk. Last year the herd was taken over by Anthony Barthel, an animal nutritionist, who is working to bring it to optimum production. Barthel keeps the herd at the farm and sells the milk to Lemke. Lemke took a class on industrial cheese making, and used the best consultants available to learn to make cheese. He sunk a significant amount of his own money into tearing down a 52-stall dairy barn and building a cheese plant, a “starter plant” while establishing his business, built so it easily could be expanded. Five years ago the Lemkes started to market Sunny Road cheese. Based on the awards Sunny Road cheese has received, Lemke has beat the challenge of turning milk into excellent cheese. Their cheeses annually win awards at the Minnesota State Fair, and last year their Muenster cheese received the bronze medal from the American Cheese Society. They have won numerous first place awards at the Upper Midwest Dairy Industry Association’s contests, and in 2011 the Lemkes were the first small company to be chosen as the UMDIA Cheese Maker of the Year. Last year Sunny Road entered four cheeses in the World Championship Cheese Contest. There were over 2,500 entries, and three of their four entries placed in the top 10 percentile. The most meaningful compliment Lemke received, however, was when his 86-year-old father, who does not easily hand out compliments, said a piece of his Muenster was the best cheese he had ever tasted. Sunny Road’s success is a credit to the whole Lemke family, because they have all been involved. Lemke calls Janelle the production manager. She sees to all of the cutting, packaging, labeling and filling of orders, as well as helping make the cheese. Their oldest son, Benjamin, works full-time as the sales manager and helps out in the plant. Their second son, Samuel, has cut back to helping out part-time now that he has a family and a full-time job, but both he and his wife worked there at the start up. Their daughter, Rose, is a microbiologist in the medical field and helps out
Daniel and Janelle Lemke with packages of their awardwinning cheeses.
THE LAND, JUNE 14, 2013
By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent Daniel Lemke likes a challenge. His parents often wondered why he studied chemistry, since he never showed any interest in it. “I took a chemistry class and it was the hardest thing I ever did,” Lemke said. “I said, ‘I can beat that.’” And he did. He didn’t stop until he had a doctorate in organic chemistry. He, his wife, Janelle, and their three young children moved to Pennsylvania where he had his first job with a company that made specialty chemicals. “I worked on biocides and I worked on food processing additives,” Lemke said. He developed emulsifiers or stabilizers used in cake mixes, snack foods and ice cream, antistatic agents in dryer sheets, and holds patents on a number of products. The Lemkes bought a farm in Pennsylvania and raised horses, goats, cattle, pigs, turkeys, chickens — “your basic hobby farm in excess,” he said. He also tried his hand at making cheese. “Whenever I made cheese, it always failed,” he said. “Milk is a tough bird. Milk is very complex.” That’s the chemist speaking, but also the man who likes a challenge. Making good cheese was the next challenge he wanted to take on. “The art of making cheese is how it looks when it’s done. (Cheese making itself) is a science. The milk is the science. You can screw up milk just by the type of pump you use to pump it around, by differential temperatures,” and any number of other ways, he said. He took on that challenge seriously after he and Janelle moved back to Minnesota to be near aging parents who had health problems. Happily, all three of their children chose to move to Minnesota, too. He got a job in research at Cargill, from which he retired five years ago, but continues as a consultant. The Lemkes purchased a 50-acre farm outside of Cokato, Minn. He acquired 30 dairy cows, mostly Brown Swiss. “I had never milked a cow in a parlor in my life,” Lemke said. “I learned how to inseminate cows. I started milking the cows. I had every problem in the world.” He solved his problems, but he never

Havarti and smoked Gouda. Daniel Lemke took on the challenge of chemistry and beat it, earning a doctorate, a successful career and a number of patents. He took on the challenge of making excellent cheese and beat it, given the awards his cheese is winning. Now there is one more challenge to beat — the business end, which he thinks is a greater challenge than making cheese. “You have to get the sales,” Lemke said. “I have to have sales outside of this (regional) area. I have to get across the country.” He currently produces about 100,000 pounds of cheese annually, and figures he has to be consistently between that and 150,000 pounds to go the next step
of expanding his plant. You sense he relishes the challenge. At age 56, Lemke could be retired and living a leisurely life. But he is not a man to sit around. In fact, the saying on the Sunny Road label, “Stepping in the light,” is the title of a song that he has sung for years while walking to worship on Sunday: “How beautiful to walk in the steps of the Savior, stepping in the light ... led in the paths of light.” It helped to inspire the company name, Sunny Road. “You can really transform milk into a very nice product,” Lemke said. “I know we’re on the right track. If I can make cheese like that, I like doing that.” For more information, log on to www.sunnyroadcheese.com. ❖

happen out in the sheep barn if the same scenario were to unfold. Only a very caring and forgiving ewe would take someone else’s lamb and feed it out.

Grain Angles
Editor’s note: Tim Emslie, CHS Hedging market analyst, is sitting in this week for Phyllis Nystrom, the regular “Grain Outlook” columnist. CORN — Corn traded in a choppy, mostly lower pattern much of the week before a Friday rally brought the July corn contract into positive territory by just 4.25 cents for the week. December corn also traded lower most of the week, and finished down 8.75 cents for the week despite the Friday rally. Planting progress advanced just five points to 91 percent on the Monday report, but most of the lower trade during the week could be traced to some weather improvement from TIM EMSLIE the previous week of slow planting. CHS Hedging Inc. St. Paul The main areas of remaining uncertainty are in Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin which had more rain forecast for the weekend, helping create the fuel for the Friday rally. Further north and west in North Dakota, final planting dates have already passed and unplanted acres will either go to a late-season crop or remain unplanted. The question for the upcoming week is how or even if the U.S. Department of Agriculture will adjust its production number on the June supply-demand report coming out on June 12. The USDA has a track record of changing either acreage or yield in lateplanting years. In six of the last 20 years, this has been the case. The yield was adjusted lower on the May report to account for the late planting, so we don’t expect an additional adjustment. We expect to see a preliminary acreage reduction on the order of a million acres on the June 12 report. Results of the June acreage survey, which occurs the first two weeks of June, will be released on June 28.
The livestock markets have been rather quiet and steady over the past several weeks as we move into June. Prices for both cattle and hogs have moved little in either direction during the period, reflecting a rather stable supply and demand at the present time. The cattle market has been struggling for quite some time, and the past few weeks the market has exemplified that condition. Despite the fact that there were fewer cattle to market over the past month, prices were unable to advance to any great degree. The reason for this appears to be the lack of demand for beef at the domestic retail level. Beef prices have been hanging JOE TEALE around all-time high levels for Broker the past several weeks and the Great Plains Commodity demand for boxed beef has been Afton, Minn. weak through that period. This seems to be a direct reflection of the fact that the consumer is being more frugal with their disposable income, which has been shrinking for months. Now that the number of cattle are expected to increase on the show lists into the summer months, and with weak demand for beef products, this may weaken cattle prices even further. The futures market is now narrowing the discount that has been present through the spring months, and will likely move to show a premium to the cash in the weeks ahead which will finally reflect a more equitable basis. Producers should remain current and continue to monitor the market and protect inventories when circumstances present themselves. Hogs have been on an upward climb now for several months. Both the live price and the pork cutout have advanced to the highest levels of the year. Demand for pork products have been the catalyst See TEALE, pg. 16
Corn, to plant or not to plant, that is the question. After weeks of contemplating the possibility, it’s finally come down to the final days to plant corn and soybeans at full coverage levels for crop insurance. Emotions are running high, especially in southeast Minnesota where we are faced with the prospect of not getting the majority of our corn planted in a timely manner. Important decisions, the likes of which we’ve never had to make before, are upon us. As an AgStar Financial Services employee I am a crop insurance agent, however, I’m also a farmer with unplanted corn acres. I understand the stress that comes from the uncontrollable. DAREL NESS Farmers are people of action; we AgStar Assistant VP like to get things done. We like to Financial Services Rochester, Minn. check things off the list and move on to the next action item. This spring we are all disappointed with the cards we have been dealt, however, we still need to play the cards we have as best we can. It’s especially important in unusual times like these for producers to work closely with their trusted advisers to gain the knowledge necessary to make correct decisions for their operations. The past couple of weeks, most of my conversations with producers have revolved around the issue of prevent plant coverage. Here are a few guidelines for multi-peril crop insurance prevent plant coverage. • To be considered prevented planting for crop insurance purposes, your area must be experiencing a cause of loss (i.e. heavy snow, excessive rain, or other uncontrollable environmental issues). The issues must be general to the area and will not be considered prevented planting if the event is isolated to your farm.

Soybeans planted at slowest pace since 1996 EMSLIE, from pg. 15 The initial condition rating of the season showed 63 percent in the good/excellent category, which compares to 72 percent in that category at this point last year. The five-year average (2008-12) for this week is 70 percent, so the 63 percent reflects some of the struggles in getting the crop established this year. Some states in the east and south are having a great start to the growing season: the best-rated corn in the country is in Ohio at 80 percent good/excellent. Indiana has similarly high ratings at 76 percent good/excellent, which is 17 points better than its rating at this time last year. On the demand side, weekly ethanol production rose to a new corn marketing year high of 885,000 barrels per day, up 23,000 from the rate last week. We expect to see corn use for ethanol to be increased on the June supplydemand report. Export sales remain sluggish at 107,000 metric tons for old crop and 52,000 mt for new crop.
OUTLOOK: Corn planting will reach completion soon either because it dries up or the calendar dictates it. However, some of the specific areas struggling with late planting may continue to plant corn for silage purposes, maintaining the final planted acreage total higher than if the wet conditions were in areas with less livestock. This is partly why we are estimating just a one-million-acre decline on the June supply-demand report, even though nearly 9 million acres were unplanted as of June 2. Markets demonstrated a willingness to look beyond the planting issue with the weakness in new crop this week. Crop development is starting out behind, but would catch up with some warm weather. It’s the time of year that the No. 1 question the market asks each day is whether the crop is getting bigger or smaller. Strong demand from the ethanol sector could be a factor for oldcrop corn, but the end-of-the-month stocks report will dictate how critical another 100 million bushels of demand is. December corn has topped out three times in the
NESS, from pg. 15 • To qualify for a prevented plant payment, you must be prevented from planting at least, the lesser of 20 acres or 20 percent of the acres in a loss unit. • The final planting date for corn is May 31 and final planting date for soybeans is June 10. In southern Minnesota both corn and soybeans have a 25-day late planting period which follows the final planting date.
For crops planted during the late planting period the insurance guarantee is reduced 1 percent a day for each day after the final planting date. The option to file a prevent plant claim can be done anytime during the late planting period for the respective crop, however, you should file your claim for each affected crop with your agent within 72 hours of making your decision to discontinue planting. • The number of eligible acres for a prevent plant claim will be calculated based on the highest planted acres, for that crop, by policy, in the previous four years. If your 2013 cropland acres have increased from 2012, a factor will be applied to increase your prevent plant acres accordingly. If your acres have decreased, no factor is applied. • Prevent plant payments are based on spring revenue prices only, no adjustments are made for harvest price changes. Eligible corn or soybean prevent plant payments pay out 60 percent of your spring revenue guarantee and will not affect your 10-year actual production history adversely. • Prevent plant acres must be reported along with planted acres on your acreage report. Take care in preparing this report as prevent plant acres are not amendable by the producer if incorrect. Every producer is facing a different situation. There is no cookie-cutter approach to making decisions when it comes to filing a prevent-plant claim. Producers need to take the time to discuss the specifics of their policy with their agent. This knowledge, along with input from other trusted advisers like your agronomist or seed dealer, will help take some of the emotions out of making these difficult decisions.

$5.70 to $5.73 area since the bearish March stocks and acreage report. That signals to me that a production threat beyond the acreage issue is required to breach that resistance. Chart support is at $5.40. SOYBEANS — Soybeans were 57 percent planted as of June 2, the slowest pace since 1996. November soybeans rallied 26 cents to a 16-week high on the acreage concern, and July soybeans rose 18.25 cents. Soybean planting has an extended window, but the wet pattern seems entrenched putting the acreage total in question. The USDA has a more limited history of adjusting soybean planting on the June supply-demand report. The most recent change was in 2002. Because so many more bean acres remain unplanted as of early June, any guess would be even more speculative than in corn — a compelling reason to just wait until the end-of-June survey results. That said, the USDA did increase acreage in three of the last 20 years on occasions when corn acreage was reduced. The old crop situation remains tight with another strong week of meal sales of 134,000 mt. We expect to see crush increased on the June supply-demand report, with an adjustment to exports as the necessary offset. Weekly bean sales were just 49,000 mt for old-crop and further cancellations appear to be a possibility. OUTLOOK: The new multi-week high in November soybeans opens up the possibility of testing the February high around $13.50. Delayed planting rallies have to balance the possibility of acres shifting to beans with the threat of the acres going unplanted altogether. Like in corn, weather will play the major role in market direction.Unlike corn,there is a limited supply cushion on the new-crop balance sheet. Tim’s tidbits:The monthly jobs report showed a solid gain of 175,000 jobs in May, beating expectations by a small amount. The unemployment rate rose just slightly from 7.5 percent to 7.6 percent, although the rounding is a bit deceptive in that the absolute increase was actually less 0.1. That slight increase in the unemployment rate, along with the fact that the previous two months were revised lower, created the perception that the Fed would refrain from trimming its quantitative easing program based on this month’s numbers. This has been a significant market mover as we move into summer: economic data is all being interpreted in light of how it affects the fed’s monetary policy.

The seasonal tendencies have come to help give support to the market also as numbers decline into the summer months. As usual the seasonal tendency now turns to a top to evolve during the next few months. This should create opportunities for producers to take advantage of the seasonal strength to protect inventories for the fall and winter markets. As usual, producers should keep current with marketing and stay aware of market conditions and be ready to respond accordingly to fit their personal marketing strategies. ❖

The product will be delivered through November, and raised the CWT’s 2013 cheese exports to 59.2 million pounds, plus 51.7 million pounds of butter, 44,092 pounds of anhydrous milk fat and 218,258 pounds of whole milk powder to 31 countries. Cash butter closed the week at $1.5450, up a halfcent and 12.75 cents above a year ago. Twenty cars were sold on the week. AMS butter averaged $1.6182, up a penny. Eyes are on the weather to see if summer heat will drive ice cream sales and draw cream away from the churn to the cone. Cream supplies over the Memorial Day weekend in all regions were heavy, according to the DMN, and kept many churns operating at full schedules. April butter production totaled 169 million pounds, down 6.9 percent from March and 0.3 percent below April 2012, according to the USDA’s latest Dairy Products report. Nonfat dry milk output, at 161 million pounds, was up 7 percent from March but 15.7 percent below a year ago. ■ A new campaign is being launched in conjunction with Dairy Month and dairy’s REAL Seal that enables consumers to learn more about the benefits of real, American-made dairy products and foods made with them, using a new Facebook page, blogger outreach and digital advertising.

Know your crop insurance prevented planting options
MARKETING
Once the final planting date for corn or soybeans has been reached for corn or soybeans, farmers can opt to take the prevented planting insurance coverage, if they have that coverage option, rather than planting the crop. A large majority of producers in the Upper Midwest carry Revenue Protection crop insurance with prevented planting coverage on their corn and soybeans. If they choose the prevented planting coverage, they will receive 60 percent of their original crop insurance guarantee for that crop on a specific farm unit. Every farm situation is different when it comes to making a decision on whether to utilize the prevented planting option, so it is important for producers to make individualized decisions for each farm unit. Crop producers will have different yield potential, crop expenses, land costs, etc., on various farm units, as well as differences in their level of crop
insurance coverage and revenue guarantees on various farms. All of these factors become important when evaluating prevented planting crop insurance decisions. The decision that your neighbor made regarding prevented planting may not necessarily be the best decision on your farm, depending on the situation and factors involved. Producers should contact their crop insurance agent for more details on final planting dates and prevented planting options with various crop insurance policies, before making a final decision on prevented planting. The prevented planted acres need to be reported to their crop insurance agent. The USDA Risk Management Agency has some good crop insurance fact sheets available on their website, www.rma.usda.gov/aboutrma/fields/ mn_rso. See PROGRAMS, pg. 20

The producer will receive a prevented planting payment per eligible acre equal to the original revenue guarantee times 60 percent (0.60). The original revenue guarantee was the APH yield times the crop insurance base price ($5.65 per bushel for corn and $12.87 per bushel for soybeans) times the level of RP coverage. Corn example: 190 bu./acre x $5.65/bu. x 0.80 = $858.80 x 0.60 = $515.28 prevented planting amount Soybean example: 52 bu./acre x $12.87/bu. x 0.80 = $669.24 x 0.60 = $401.54 prevented planting amount There is no “harvest price” option with prevented planting insurance coverage, so even if the harvest price is higher than the crop base price, the amount of the prevented planting payment will not be increased.

crops planted after the final dates for the late planting period (June 25 for corn), crop insurance coverage is set at a maximum of 60 percent of the original insurance guarantee, which is the same as the prevented planting insurance coverage. • Plant another crop (second crop) after the final planting date. For example, soybeans could be planted on intended corn acres after May 31. In that case, there would be no prevented planting coverage for the corn acres, and the soybeans would be treated as insurable soybean acres. If the soybeans are planted after the final planting date (June 10 or 15), they would be considered “late planted,” with a 1 percent per day reduction in the revenue guarantee for 25 days. • File a prevented planting crop insurance claim on the qualifying original unplanted acres, after May 31 for corn, and June 10 or 15 for soybeans.

Consult with your crop insurance agent before final decision hay supplies. Minimum acreage for prevented planting To qualify for prevented planting insurance coverage and payments, affected areas must be the lower of 20 acres, or 20 percent of the total eligible insured acreage in a farm unit. Small areas of land do not qualify for prevented planting coverage, which could be a factor on some smaller land tracts with optional unit insurance coverage. Meeting the 20 percent threshold will likely be easier with enterprise units than with optional units; however, there is lot of variation from farm-to-farm, so producers need to check with their crop insurance agent. Example: 500 acres of corn; 400 acres planted with full crop insurance coverage; 100 acres (20 percent) prevented planting paid at 60 percent of the original insurance guarantee per acre. Economics of the prevented planting decision As mentioned earlier, every producer and every farm unit has a different situation as it relates to the economics of the prevented planting crop insurance decision. A table can be found online at www.issuu.com/theland/docs/2013-0607/30 showing a
comparison of normal corn production and returns, a late planting scenario with reduced yields and crop insurance coverage, and a scenario using prevented planting coverage. Again, the situation for producers on individual farm units may be different than this example. The University of Illinois has developed an excellent spreadsheet for analyzing various options for the 2013 corn and soybean crop in Minnesota and other states, when considering the Federal Crop Insurance prevented planting option, compared to raising a crop in 2013.

PROGRAMS, from pg. 20 Prevented planting payments are made on the base price. A producer who files a prevented planting insurance claim after the final planting date cannot plant another crop on those acres during the 25-day late planting period, or they will lose their prevented planting insurance payment. After the late planting period (June 25 for corn and July 5 or 10 for soybeans), a producer has the following options on those acres. • Leave the unplanted acres idle and control the weeds. • Plant an approved cover crop on the prevented planted acres, with no reduction in the prevented planting insurance payment. The cover crop cannot be harvested in 2013. Haying and grazing of those acres is permitted after Nov. 1. • Plant another crop (second crop) after the late planting period (June 25 for corn) has ended, with the intent of harvesting that crop. In this case the prevented planting payment is reduced to 35 percent of the original prevented planted payment. Example: $858.80/acre original guarantee x 0.60 = $515.28/acre x 0.35 = $180.35/acre adjusted prevented planting payment. This may be an option for dairy and beef producers who are short of feed and

Producer’s choice could mean big dollar amount PROGRAMS, from pg. 21 Producers can enter their state, county, crop insurance guarantees, expected yields and prices, production costs, etc., and get farm unit specific scenarios. This spreadsheet can be accessed free of charge on the University of Illinois FarmDoc website at http://farmdoc.illinois.edu/ pubs/FAST tool_special_planting.asp. Additional prevented planting crop insurance considerations
• Minimum planting with Enterprise Units. A producer filing a prevented planting claim, who originally signed up with Enterprise Units, must have planted the lower of 20 acres or 20 percent of the insured crop acres in at least two sections to be eligible for the lower insurance premiums with Enterprise Units. Otherwise, the farm unit will still receive the appropriate prevented planting payment on that farm unit, but will be charged the insurance premiums for the higher of basic or optional units. (This would be the situation if no acres were planted.) • Impact of prevented planting on future APH yields. Generally, prevented planting acres will not impact the future APH yields, unless a second crop is planted, as only the planted acres are used to determine the crop year yield on a farm unit. If a second crop is planted, the prevented planted acres will be

assigned a yield equal to 60 percent times the APH on the farm unit. If no insured crop acres are planted on a farm unit, that crop year will not be considered in the future APH calculation, unless a second crop was planted. Bottom line Every producer’s situation is different when it comes to late and prevented planting situations. As a result, the best option will vary considerably from farm-to-farm. In addition to differences in production practices and yield potential, there are differences in level of insurance coverage, optional or enterprise units and other crop insurance provisions. The choice that a producer makes could result in a difference of thousands of dollars in the potential insurance coverage that is available. That is why it is extremely critical for producers to consult with their crop insurance agent before finalizing late and prevented planting crop decisions.

Back Roads: Rural heritage FFA Sweethearts. None of the Ask family chose farming for a career, but they are proud of, and grateful for, their heritage. The planting and harvesting events provide hands-on opportunities for grandchildren. Grandson Derek Nelson said, “it’s not something everyone can do. I can go back home and tell my friends that I drove a tractor.” Darrell’s collection, in addition to tractors, has grown to five combines, four planters and seven plows. His hobby enables him to spend one-onone time with grandchildren as well as preserving a bit of the family heritage. ❖

BACK ROADS, from pg. 40 During a visit to Hardee’s in St. James with his mother, a conversation with the manager played a role in the restaurant chain switching to soy oil for deep frying. Mitchell was the first recipient of the Minnesota Soybean Association scholarship when he graduated from high school; however, he later decided to become an attorney. He says that the work ethic he developed on the farm has helped him in his family law practice. Darrell was a member of the first class in St. James High School to have four years of agriculture and FFA. Both he and Mitchell were Minnesota Star Farmers. Although agriculture wasn’t offered to girls, the Ask daughters were

When Darrell retired in the mid-’90s, Darrell Ask of Butterfield, Minn., willingly makes the effort, and his chil- he recalled, “I worked for a construction company just to have something to do. dren and grandchildren are willing participants in preserving the family’s When I went out into the groves, I found agricultural heritage that began with old plows.” A new hobby was born. Darrell in 1961. Hobbies have a way of growing, and as Darrell attended auctions and Even brisk winds and cool temperareceived referrals from people who tures couldn’t deter four generations of knew of his hobby, he began collecting the Ask family from gathering on their John Deere tractors that he would farm southeast of Butterfield May 11. then restore. His goal was to gift each Darrell planted five acres of corn with a restored 1956 John Deere 520 tractor and of his grandchildren with a restored a mid-1950’s four-row John Deere planter. tractor; he now has 13 restored, or nearly restored, tractors on his farm, In the fall he will use a one-row pulland eight grandchildren, ages 7 to 31. behind corn picker to harvest the crop. “This is the worst day I’ve had since The grandkids banter back and forth we started doing our five acres. If it about who will get which tractor. “The
kids talk about it all the time,” said Darrell’s daughter DeAnn Nelson. Grandson Jared Nelson, of Springfield, Minn., said, “I like to work with Grandpa and help him tinker.” And tinker they do. Granddaughter Danica and her husband, Al Reiser, may live in Owatonna, Minn., but Al insisted that they attend the spring 2013 planting event at the Ask farm. “We have to learn how to do this so we can keep doing it when Grandpa can’t,” he said. “It’s a treat. You see the old machinery, and he lets us drive the tractors.” Danica remembers visiting her grandparents’ farm when she was a child. “We’d have to beg the older ones for a ride. I like all the tractors.” In the Ask family, farming included
everyone. Leora was a city slicker when she and Darrell were married. “He promised me I wouldn’t have to be a farm wife,” she said. That promise lasted about 15 years before she started running the combine, a job she kept until retirement. The Ask daughters, DeAnn and Lorelei, sometimes stayed home from school to help with field work, and they would wave at their friends going by in the school bus. Lorelei, a registered nurse in Vienna, Va., doesn’t get home often, but DeAnn who lives in New Ulm, Minn., said, “it’s fun to come back home and help out.” She remembers her bean walking and rock picking days growing up on the farm. Mitchell, the youngest child, promoted agriculture in 4-H and FFA. See BACK ROADS, pg. 25
