In modern political campaigns it’s agiven that opponents will attack each oth-ers’ ideas, misrepresent each others’record and, metaphorically, make everyattempt to rip each others’ ugly face off.

Since this vitriol is expected, little of itfinds traction. It’s “politics as usual” and,as usual, it rarely changes minds, votesand outcomes.

A far more stinging political rebuke,however, is faint praise, that barely-warmbucket of rhetorical spit a candidate mightget from someone he or she thought a friend.

For example, in an Aug. 13 New York Times gallopthrough 30 years of Republican economic policy, for-mer GOP golden boy David Stockman begins alengthy barbecue of Mitt Romney’s just-named vicepresidential running mate this way: “Paul D. Ryan isthe most articulate and intellectually imposingRepublican of the moment …”

“Of the moment” isn’t just faint praise;it’s the only praise Stockman offers in hisensuing 950-word pasting of Ryan who,he describes, “folded like a lawn chair onthe auto bailout and Wall Street bailout...” by voting for both.

Stockman later spotlights a “greaterhypocrisy … (Ryan’s) phony ‘plan’ to solvethe entitlements mess by deferring changeto social insurance by at least a decade.”

Pretty rough stuff from a fellow Republi-can and fellow budget wonk who served as

director of the Office of Management and Budget in theReagan White House from 1981 to 1985. He also wasthe goggle-eyed whiz kid who, in the December 1981Atlantic Monthly, famously labeled Reagan’s infamoussupply-side tax cuts “just trickle-down theory.”

Stockman, the guy in charge of White House num-

I’ve always been a football-watchingsort of guy, but the gentleman’s sport ofbaseball is gaining favor with me.

Maybe it’s because I’m getting older,and the sport that once seemed as slowas cold molasses in January is now justthe right speed for half watching andhalf doing whatever grown-up thing itis I’m supposed to be doing.

Maybe it’s because of the increasedhealth concerns regarding repeated con-cussive hits that football players take tothe noggin. (Sure, players get hurt inbaseball, too, but a sturdy battinghelmet and cup generally take care ofthe problem.)

Maybe it’s because I can actually afford an occasionalticket inside Target Field, as opposed to the Dome.Honestly, I’ve never liked that stale, lifeless marshmal-low anyway, so it’s not difficult for me to avoid down-town Minneapolis on an autumn Sunday afternoon.

Or maybe it’s because I don’t need to pay for cabletelevision, or go to a crowded sports bar, or huddle ona cold metal bleacher in November to catch a game.Instead I can just turn on the radio nearly any dayduring the season or, better yet, make a short trip toa small-town amateur league game. (Such as to Mil-roy, Minn., to watch the Irish play at their new field— see this week’s cover story on Page 13.)

It makes me wonder how many games I’ll be ableto pick up on the AM dial as my younger daughter

and I make our way across the northwest-ern United States on an epic 16-day roadtrip in late August. The only state we’ll visitthat hosts Major League Baseball is Wash-ington, and that’s only if you count the

Mariners.The other states — Oregon, Idaho, Mon-

tana, Wyoming and the Dakotas — arebarren, baseball-less wastelands as far as I can tell.

With 4,000 miles to cover, this may require me toseparate my 15-year-old from her iPod and earbuds,and attempt live human conversation with her atsome point.

She’s already having nightmares that as we passthrough Yellowstone National Park a herd of bison willever so slowly begin crossing the road in front of us justas her iPod batteries die, thereby forcing her to listen tome babble — about earned run averages or on-basepercentages perhaps — for hours and hours on end.

It’ll be a long trip, but hopefully we’ll get home in timefor me not to watch the first NFL game of the season.

FARM & FOOD FILE

See GUEBERT, pg. 3

LAND MINDS

By Tom Royer

Oregon, Idaho, Montana,Wyoming and the Dakotas arebarren, baseball-less wastelandsas far as I can tell.

‘All these numbers’ tell a story now

GUEBERT, from pg. 2bers, then went on to con-fess that “none of us reallyunderstands what’s going on with all these numbers.”

Ryan’s career eerily tracks Stockman’s; a kid policywonk, kid congressman, a fresh-faced party lieu-tenant full of budget reform ideas. One, however,quickly learned what “all these numbers” mean —total federal debt ballooned from $998 billion in 1981to $2.1 trillion in 1985 — the other now seeks achance to learn.

Ryan’s biggest reform ideas take dead aim atAmerica’s three costliest social programs, Medicare,Medicaid and Social Security. Any change in eitheror all will have profound affects across farm country,though, because rural America relies more heavilyon all three than the nation’s urban areas.

Social Security shows that disparity. According to aNovember 2011 study by the National Academy ofSocial Insurance — source links found at www.far-mandfoodfile.com — 9.3percent of “total personalincome” in rural countiescomes from Social Secu-rity. By contrast, SocialSecurity is just 5.0 per-cent of total personalincome in urban Amer-ica.

Moreover, Social Securityis the economic lifebloodmany rural counties. Forexample, OrangeburgCounty, S.C., gained $232million of income — or about$1 billion in overall economicactivity — in 2009 throughSocial Security.

The story is the same forMedicare and Medicaid’simpact on farm and ranchcountry. While one in six, or49 million, Americans,receive Medicare benefits, 12million, or one in four, ofthose beneficiaries live inrural America.

And that number is grow-ing; 15 percent of ruralAmerica is 65 years old ormore while just 12 percent ofurban Americans are seniorcitizens.

Medicaid, too, has an enormous impact on farmand ranch country: 16 percent of all rural residentsand 35 percent of all rural children up to 18 yearsold receive Medicaid benefits. The “urban” numbers,respectively, are 13 percent and 28 percent. Addition-ally, six out of 10 rural nursing home residentsreceive some form of Medicaid.

One more Medi-barrage: It is estimated that 56percent of all rural physician income and 60 percentof all rural hospital cash flow is tied to Medicare andMedicaid.

In short, any change to Social Security, Medicareand Medicaid will be felt first and hardest in ruralAmerica.

But (warning: faint praise ahead) unlike those bril-liant Capitol Hill wonks who need 14 years in Con-

gress or four in the White House to figure that out,we know it now.

During a symposium held recently atthe Holocaust Memorial Museum, Yalehistorian Tim Snyder told the atten-dees: “Climate change acts as a multiplier” of otherresource crises leading to “the ecological panic thatI’m afraid will lead to mass killings in the decadesto come.”

In his attempt to predict the future, he is relyingon historic resource crises that have led to masskillings, revolts, invasions and famines. However,almost all of those resource crises came during theEarth’s “little ice ages,” not during our planet’swarm cycles. (Neither Hitler nor Mao Tse Tungwere driven by resource crises; Japan may havethought it was, but their invasion of China cost aterrible price.)

On the whole, the warmings have been the goodtimes. The long summers, sunny skies and moder-ate rainfall in the Medieval Warming tripledhuman numbers around the globe, according torespected Medieval population scholar Josiah Rus-sell. The long Roman Warming delivered similarbenefits, with ample food and a massive increase ineconomic growth, trade and prosperity.

The key resource crises have always been aboutfood. It’s hard to grow much food if your farmers arebeset by short, cold, cloudy summers, century-longdroughts and violent, flooding storms. The six cul-tural collapses in Egypt’s famously fertile Nile Val-ley were all caused by centuries of too little rainfallin the Sudanese and Ethiopian highlands duringthe “little ice ages.” Half the Egyptians may have

died in the resulting famines, andrecords say that parents literally atetheir own children. That was truly a

resource crisis.The famed Bronze Age collapse occurred at 1200

BC because of a global stab of cold and storms. Roadsturned to mud, and sea-storms sank ships. Makingbronze required tin, and the ships could no longersafely reach the major tin mines in southern Eng-land, Turkey and the Malay Peninsula. The Greeks,the Hittites in Turkey, the Egyptians, the AkkadianEmpire in the Tigris-Euphrates valley, the Harap-pans in northwestern India, the steppe nomads onthe grasslands across Eurasia and several culturesin China all collapsed. For several centuries, famineruled most of the populated world.

Dian Zhang calculates that 80 percent of China’swars, rebellions and failed dynasties have come dur-ing the floods, droughts and famines of its “little iceages.” What comparable “resource crises” does Sny-der see in our globally warmed future?

The global computer models’ predictions havealready failed. We have no reason to expect their pre-dictions of sudden catastrophic warming to cometrue. Nor has the UN’s climate panel told its comput-ers about the long, natural 1,500-year climate cycle.The Dansgaard-Oeschger cycle has afflicted human-ity with eight “little ice ages” since the last Ice Age.However, it has also given us an equal number ofwarm, stable centuries-long warmings.

Humanity only began to rise above the “little ice

age” famines as we began to develop high-yield farm-ing, out of desperation, toward the end of the lastLittle Ice Age (AD 1200-1850). The new gang plowpermitted cropping the heaviest, richest bottom-lands for the first time. The mechanical seederallowed planting in rows, so the crops could beweeded. The potato and tomato came from the NewWorld. Turnips, from China, permitted a livestockfeed crop after the grains were harvested.

History tells us that if we have food, the otherresource crises can be handled. In the current CornBelt drought, our grain and yields will still be aboutsix times as high as during the Dust Bowl days of the1930s. We have developed no-till farming during theintervening 80 plus years to protect the land fromerosion when drought events happen. Our biggestrecent mistake has been to put a sizable percentageof our food crops into corn ethanol — so the U.S.drought will now drive up the costs of both food andfuel to excruciating levels.

Take the food out of our gas tanks and put it backon the table. Reinvigorate high-yield farmingresearch. Our ancestors coped with the “resourcecrises” as long as they could eat.

As a child, the bowl that contained the veg-etables was the least popular container on thedinner table. “You have to eat as many as yourage,” was the eat-your-veggies rule at ourhome. Each of my siblings would dutifullyserve up as many peas, green beans, or carrotsas their years of life.As the oldest in the fam-ily, this never seemed fair, but to open yourmouth and protest meant dad would scoop upa serving that would equate middle age.Wisechildren chose to bite their tongue to avoid bit-ing more broccoli. I wasn’t always so wise.

It was at the dinner table that familyprayers were said, Bible stories were readand stories of the day were shared. Dinner necessi-tated stopping, as a kid three times a day, six times ifyou counted the snacks in between, to taste mom’shome-cooked meals and build relationships.

There wasn’t anything seemingly special aboutthat time as a child. It was status quo in the homesof my friends. It’s even what took place on TV showsat that time like “Little House on the Prairie,” “TheBrady Bunch” and “overseas” on “Gilligan’s Island”.

Fast forward to today and sociologists and educa-tors are encouraging families to do this one simplething to keep their family units intact: eat together.Eat together around a table, instead of in front of aTV or with a cell phone in hand. Eat nourishingfoods together, rather than fast foods on the run.This creates true connection and better health physi-cally and emotionally. This is where true fellowshiptakes place and relationships are solidified.

“Studies show that the more often families eattogether, the less likely kids are to smoke, drink, dodrugs, get depressed, develop eating disorders and con-

sider suicide, and the more likely they are todo well in school, delay having sex, eat theirvegetables, learn big words and know whichfork to use,” writes Michael Elins in Timemagazine.

Family meals may sound laughable, evenimpossible, to those who are gearing up for anew school year. So many things competewith family meal times: volleyball and foot-ball practice and games, harvest hours onthe farm, meetings and other extra-curricu-lar activities among kids and their parents.How is this supposed to happen? Really.

Like every habit, it begins with a choice.As you buy school supplies and sign your kids up forclubs and sports activities, a choice needs to be made atthe forefront of the year, rather than a knee-jerk reac-tion six weeks in when your family is disconnected,overwhelmed and growing downright crabby at life andwith one another.

Choose to battle against over-scheduling to createspace for family time. Have your kids help you preparemeals. Choose to unplug all media/phones when you’reat the table. Get creative in choosing what meal of theday will be your family meal. Maybe it’s breakfast ongame days, and early or late dinners when there aremeetings or other extra-curricular activities.

Will it be easy? Not a chance. Will it be worth it? Itmay not feel like it in the moment when there’s moresquabbling about spilled milk than laughter or love,but in the big picture of your family’s legacy, it’ll beone of the best choices you ever make.

World-class athleteshave to eat smart tomaximize their per-formance. Manychoose a diet high invegetables, proteins,pasta and other carbsto get energy and replace the nutrients they burn offafter a heavy workout. Farmers, too, need to eat right— their day job is their workout.

I admire how hard farmers work and how much theysweat, so today I offer a review of “The Feed Zone Cook-book: Fast and Flavorful Food for Athletes” (Velo Press,2011) by professional cyclist Levi Leipheimer. If itworks for the jocks, it should work for farmers.

Grilled cheese sandwiches have come a long way sincewhite bread and processed cheese. These days cooks areusing all sorts of things to make ’em, but make no mis-take: The cheese still rules. This version uses a shmear ofcream cheese melted into a hearty helping of Swiss, witha few veggies for a big burst of flavor. I used a nutty,whole-grain bread that toasts superbly, and my familydefinitely preferred it over the usual fare. Four out of four

“yums” from the Johnson crew.Recovery Grilled Cheese

1 tablespoon softened cream cheese2 thick slices breadDash of ground nutmeg4 thin slices Swiss cheese2 ounces canned roasted red peppers or green

chiles, drainedOlive oil

Optional additions: grilled asparagus, cookedbacon, sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese, truffle oil

Spread cream cheese onto 2 slices of bread (these arethe sides that will be matched together). Sprinkle groundnutmeg on top of the cream cheese, then top with slices ofSwiss cheese and a few pieces of roasted red pepper orgreen chiles.Put sandwich together,brush olive oil on theoutsides, and grill in a hot sauté pan until cheese ismelted and bread is golden brown on both sides.

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

A big draw ofFarmfest is thediversity of productsand ideas on display.Consider RyanPierce, who was pitching growing radish — specifi-cally “Tillage Radish” — as a fall-seeded cover cropthat can markedly improve soil fertility, reduce falltillage and produce higher yields in both corn andsoybeans.

Working for Producer’s Choice Seed Co. in Jordan,Minn., Pierce said their primary objective at Farm-fest was to push the idea of late-summer, early fallseeding of Tillage Radish. “We want a 30-day grow-ing cycle minimum so getting it seeded at least 30days ahead of first frost is important,” he said.

Breaking up the hardpan is the first bonus ofTillage Radish. With the extreme moisture thisspring followed by this hot, dry growing season,Pierce contends that soil compaction is huge in mostfields. An additional bonus is better fertility.

“The deep taproot of the radish brings soil nutri-ents back to the subsurface,” he said. “The radishuses the P, K and nitrogen that leached into theground in previous years back up to where it’s read-ily available for newly planted crops come spring.

“You’re going to be having 25 to 40 units of addi-tional N brought back up for your crop. An Iowafarmer stopped at our Farmfest booth to share hisexperience last year when he planted radish as a fallcover crop. His corn last year ran 160 to 175 bushel.Where he did not have the radishes planted, he har-vested only 60 to 70 bushel corn. Yes, that’s extremebut he theorizes that the corn root followed down thetap root depth of the radishes. We refer to that as the‘tunnel system.’”

Pierce said all of that additional yield isn’t due tomicro-nutrients being refracted back up into the soil.His corn plants in the radish field also had access tomoisture because of the deep tap roots of the radishwhich provided the same delivery system for thecorn roots.

A handout said: “Tillage Radish helps bring thegood critters while keeping bad guys at bay, all with-out the use of pesticides. Earthworms love it; nema-todes hate it. How? The deep Tillage Radish taprootfractures and loosens your soil, creating micro pores.The results are water and oxygen effectively infil-trating the soil which works to increase organic mat-ter and microbial activity.”

Tillage Radish is both a magnet to highly benefi-cial earthworms and a virtual shield to suppresspesky nematodes.

Pierce describes it as a “bio-drilling taproot.” Thetuber narrows at the compaction point in the soil,sending out the taproot, boring down into the subsoilup to 30 inches in depth.

Tillage Radish seed for 2013 is being harvestednow in August by different growers for Cover CropSolutions, corporate name of a family of cover cropseeds which also includes annual ryegrass, wintertriticale, phacelia and nitrogen-producing cover croplegumes such as winter pears, crimson clover, lupin

and hairy vetch.Seed cost for Tillage Radish is $3.30 a pound. It

can be applied with precision planting equipment, anormal drill, even aerial seeding which often is thebest route for August seeding in standing fields ofcorn and/or soybeans. Pierce said a ballpark average

is $20 to $30 per acre. Aerial seeding is becomingquite common with southern farmers but he seesMinnesota growers giving it a try also.

He cautioned about seeding into soy-beans too early. Get too much radishgrowth and you’re clipping radish topsas you’re cutting your soybeans. Sotiming is a bit of a challenge. He sug-gested the first of September as latestfor seeding radish in south centralMinnesota and northern Iowa.

What makes Tillage Radish work:

• Germinates in two to three days ifadequate moisture is available.

• Foliage spreads out to fill groundspace and shade out weeds.

• The tuber and thick foliage arestorehouse for nutrients.

• Grow to a height of 12 to 24 inchesdepending upon when it was planted.

• Increases the soil’s bacteriovoreswho feed on nematodes and increasesthe N cycling process mineralizingavailable N, P, Ca and S.

• Deep taproot pulls up nutrients,allows increased water infiltration,establishes a root trail for the nextcrop, stores water in the soil profile.

Brian Buhr, University of Min-nesota Applied Economicsdepartment head, makes nobones about the future of thelivestock industry: “A tumul-tuous market is what’s ahead. Feedprices are the root core.”

He also noted hay prices and haysupplies are tight with lots of Min-nesota hay being trucked daily tosouthern markets. Also grazing land isshowing a world of hurt.

“Cattle liquidation has alreadystarted even up here in Minnesotawhere feed shortages aren’t an issue.But nationwide, it’s likely to get heav-ier as these corn yields keep shrinkingacross the Corn Belt. Short term cattle-men are seeing higher prices on every-thing they purchase but because of liq-uidation, they’re seeing lower prices onthe cattle they market. Right now it’s aworst case scenario,” Buhr said.

The big unknown is how long untillivestock prices start rebounding. “Itdepends upon how long that tail is.Right now feed availability is drivingthat decision,” he said.

So what advice for a cattle feedertoday? Buhr point blank said it’s animpossible question for many cattle-men, especially if they are corn grow-ers. “If you are growing corn, do youconsider liquidating the cattle andinstead start selling your grain? Com-

mercial producersperhaps want to seethat corn keep com-ing to ethanol plantsbecause distiller’s byproducts cancheapen rations considerably.

“But it looks now like this liquidationphase could run into the fall, evenearly winter season. How fast some-what depends on the farrowing sched-ules for the pork producer; on feedavailability for the feeder, and on dry-down time and lagging productivity forthe dairyman. Already near-by pricesare showing some of that downwardpressure; distant contracts are likely tosoon be reflecting the same trend onlive animals.

“If you’re buying feeders, locking inthese downward trending prices is anoption but obviously grain prices maybe the stronger risk. Congress is talk-ing ‘disaster payment’ support as partof the next U.S. Department of Agricul-ture farm bill. The reality indicatesthat needs to be part of the ‘disaster’mix, even if just temporary.”

Brian Buhr was interviewed at therecent Farmfest in Redwood County,Minn. ❖

There’s a new generation ofAmericans out there and talk-ing to them pretty muchdepends on your electronicskills with iPad, Twitter, Facebook,your fully app’d cell phone, and per-haps an occasional e-mail message.

Don Schiefelbein, Minnesota StateCattlemen’s Association president,spoke at a Farmfest forum on futurechallenges for the livestock industry,including communicating with the 20-to 35-year-old consumer group knownas “the New Millennium.”

“They access infor-mation instantly andthey disburse infor-mation instantly.They tend to be veryreactive so you don’tknow where they aresitting on issues. Acase in point thatrelates to the cattleindustry is the leanfinely textured beefissue.

“As soon as thisNew Millennium gota hold of it, whathappened? The thingwent viral on us. Itwas instantly conta-gious across America.It caught us terrificallyoff guard. We had noimmediate defense. Andsuddenly ‘pink slime’ cost the U.S. beefindustry millions of dollars.

“So the question today for the beefindustry is how good a ‘front line’ dowe have. I’m talking about those peo-ple who are squarely in front of a con-sumer. If an issue comes up, how read-ily and how quickly can our ‘front line’people rise to the occasion?”

Schiefelbein said the CEOs andspokespersons of major food chainsoften aren’t willing to stand up for thebeef industry and defend their prod-ucts; in fact, such top representativesare the first to fall before the “NewMillennium” assaults.

“And when they fall, what impres-sion does it put on the product? WhenSafeWay started pulling finely tex-tured beef off the meat counter, weknow what happened. And we’re stillrecovering. Through beef checkoff

funds and other pro-grams what we needto do in the beefindustry is inundatewith facts. This New Millenniumseems to feed off electronic soundbites. We need to bombard the elec-tronic media with factoids about thesafety and nutritional value of finelytextured beef.”

Schiefelbein suggestedthat emotion typi-cally becomes thewinner when twosides present com-peting facts.

“The emotionalelement often sur-faces when facttakes on fact so ourfuture image boilsdown to how are wegoing to ramp up tothe speed of the Mil-lennium.

“We’ve got tostrengthen thatfront line. We’ve gotto make our frontline absolutely, posi-tively defendable sothat when an issuearises before these

New Millenniums, SafeWay comes tobat and says ‘No way, we’re not pullingthat product. It’s USDA graded. It’snutritionally superior and it tastesgood.’

“When the question about chickensin cages gets raised we have to say ‘yesthey are and do you know why that isthe smartest way of producing youreggs?’

“I think what we really need to dowhen these ‘speed of information’events occur is immediately share ourpositive reaction. A story in today’sworld blows up real quick because ofinstantaneous media explosion. But it’salmost like a weather maker. We see ifthere are any takers and if there aren’tany takers, it blows over and they rap-idly are on the next media story.

“And that’s why the need for astronger front line in the livestock

industry. They need to be able todefend the industry instantly alsountil the story blows over. Then we

can go about the business of relayingthe facts, explaining why it madesense, etc.” ❖

Charolais has a lot tooffer.

With cross-bred typecows, the Charolais bullis a good choice accordingto Greg Holtz. He’s now15 years into the bull busi-ness and holds an annualbull sale late-April on theHoltz farm. So far most of theirbulls sell into the Midwest marketbut he sees an expanding market.That’s why they’ve worked into apartnership with a major ColoradoCharolais breeder.

Holtz said the bull business hasbeen good but he’s noticing some “pullback” recently. Also renting out a bulljust doesn’t pencil out very well thesedays. “It’s hard to rent out a bull forthe season at $400, $500 when he’sgoing to lose 400 pounds. With cullbull prices at $1.10 to $1.20 thatweight loss by the time you get yourbull back again just doesn’t work,”Holtz said.

Most of their bulls get soldat 14 to 15 months of age,ready for service. Eachyear they send out abrochure to prospectivebuyers. Sale-day buyerscan walk the line inspect-ing each bull.Even with the world

economy in question, Holtzis optimistic about the live-

stock business, noting that itused to be a matter of competingagainst your livestock-raising neigh-bor, “but today it seems we’re compet-ing against the world.”

“Yes, tremendous changes in thislivestock economy these days and it’snot just the price of corn anymore thatdetermines your future,” he said. “It’swhat’s happening in Brazil, and howmuch longer will China, Japan and ourAsian friends want to keep on buyingAmerican beef?”

Gail and Greg Holtz of HB Farms hosted one of the stops on the Minnesota Cattle-men’s Tour held earlier this year in Morrison County. The Holtzes have found whatthey like in the Charolais beef breed.See HOLTZ, pg. 11


Jim Sharpe, Minnesota Angus Association execu-tive secretary, is a modest guy but on the July 10Minnesota Cattlemen’s Tour he did venture thatAngus registrations keep increasing each year inMinnesota. And he suggests it’s a quality issue.

“Carcass quality plus their mothering ability seemto add to the overall popularity of our cattle,” he saidwhen interviewed at the Hanneken Angus farm nearBuckman, Minn.

He credits the American Angus Association also for

their aggressive Certified Angus Beef marketingcampaigns across America.

Ralph and Carla Hanneken, both withfull-time, non-farm jobs started raisingtheir own registered Angus in 1996 withthe purchase of five bred heifers. Theystarted marketing bulls in 2000 andhad their seventh production sale inMarch.

You don’t see any blue ribbons attheir farm as they never got into show-ing cattle. Nor do you see much in theway of buildings. Their cattle never see abuilding except when calving. They focus onraising seedstock to perform and make profits forthe people who buy their cattle.

They bred about 130 cows and heifers this pastspring extensively using artificial insemination plus

some embryo transfer with clean up bulls to follow.Cows graze on pasture starting early May.

They are brought home for weaning inthe fall; after harvest they go back outto graze on corn stalks.

Calving starts late-January withheifers first; cows calving in Februaryand March.

“Even though our cattle and calvesare outdoors virtually year round, weseldom have an issue with predators,”

Ralph said. Rotational grazing with lotsof fresh water access is key to their cost-

effective cow-calf business. The farm has avariety of handling facilities because for the first

15 years or so it was essentially a one-man opera-tion with Ralph doing the vaccinating, weaning,sorting, hauling and calving. ❖

Twelve young men and women represent theAngus breed as the National Junior Angus Associa-tion Board of Directors.

At the 2012 National Junior Angus Show, six youngpeople were elected by their peers to serve on theboard.

Elected to the 2012-13 NJAA Board of Directorswere: Lucas Nord, Wolverton, Minn.; Jena Wagner,Billings, Mont.; Jacy Alsup, Gravette, Ark.; PaigeWallace, Stotts City, Mo.; Daniel McFarland, Kei-thville, La.; and Maggie Jasper, Versailles, Ky.

The newly elected directors were chosen by dele-

gates representing each state at the 2012 NJAS inLouisville, Ky. They will serve a two-year term andtravel across the country to various events, promot-ing the Angus breed and helping young people suc-ceed in the NJAA. The NJAA board members’ firstactivity is the Leaders Engaged in Angus Develop-ment conference in Fort Collins, Colo., Aug. 2-5.

Nord has been involved in the Minnesota JuniorAngus Association since 2001, serving as the mem-bership and communications director. This fall, hewill be entering his sophomore year at SouthDakota State University majoring in animal sci-ence. ❖

Angus working well for Buckman, Minn., couple

HOLTZ, from pg. 10— come from a rich history of farming. In the springof 1927 while working at Hennepin Paper Mill in Lit-tle Falls, Minn., their great grandfather purchased ateam of horses and wagon and moved his family to afarm near Sobieski, Minn. At that time they had a logbarn to house their stock.

Dairy farming had become a Holtz tradition. Thethree brothers knew they wanted to continue in agri-culture but also added to their management skills byattending Ridgewater Technical College in Willmar,Minn. In the early 1990s John and Greg bought theirfirst herd of beef cows. In 1998 disaster struck — thecattle were out on pasture and got into a pile of ashesfrom treated lumber. All the cattle died from arsenicpoisoning. It was at this point that they bought theirfirst 50 head of registered Charolais cows.

In 2005 they got into the dairy business by leasingan entire dairy facility which now has about 220 cowswith Bennie taking over as herdsman in 2007. (Heand his wife, Brittany, were featured in a 2010 “Fromthe Fields” series of stories in The Land.) The broth-ers built a heifer shed and no longer hire a customgrower to raise their heifers. They soon built a secondheifer barn for the larger heifers and dry cows. Thisfarm is now home to approximately 200 beef cows andcalves plus 400 Holstein heifers and dry cows.

That much livestock suggests a significant croppingprogram, too. HB Farms grows about 700 acres corn,200 acres alfalfa, 300 acres grass for hay along withapproximately 1,200 acres of pasture for the beefcows. The three brothers divide responsibilities withJohn essentially managing the crops and livestockoperations; Greg doing the genetics and breeding onthe beef and dairy cattle (plus full time herdsman ata nearby dairy); and Bennie running the 220-cowdairy operation plus helping at the beef heifer opera-tion when time allows.

“We’re busy but we like it that way. We’re buildingan earthen basin manure pit at the dairy facility thisyear which will provide yearly storage for that opera-tion. And maybe some more cement and a few moredairy cows for Bennie.

“Renting works well. One hand feeds the other. It’sa matter of doing with what you’ve got,” Greg said. ❖

Called the ID-TEK Auto CalfFeeder, it’s just what it says.

Lon Johnson, locationmanager for Centra Sota inLittle Falls, Minn., describedthe system at the Virnig Dairynear Pierz, Minn., which has twounits in place.

“One unit will take care of 25 calves.The Virnigs are milking about 125 to 130cows in their two robotic systems so twoof these calf feeders are enough even inpeak freshening periods,” Johnson said.

So what’s the technology? Each calfhas an ear tag. When the calves cometo feed, the ID Feeder reads the tagand starts mixing milk replacer withwarmed water according to thespecifics of that calf.

“It can feed one pint of milk replacerup to 15 times per 24-hour period. Soinstead of gulping down two quarts atone feeding your calves are getting

lesser amounts at several timesthroughout the day. This ismuch healthier for the calves.And even though we havecalves going to the nipple 15times a day, we see very littlenaval sucking,” Johnson said.He said these automated feed-

ers are simple to hookup.They havea 25-pound milk powder hopper and aone-gallon water heater. So the dairyfarmer needs only to make a connectionto running water and electricity. Eachstation even has a user-friendly com-puter that shows how much calves dranktoday and yesterday. The unit includesthe 25 ear tags which can be fitted to thenext batch of calves also.

Johnson suggests a separate calf rear-ing room with insulation keeps every-thing more sanitary and reduces flies.

Centra Sota is pricing these units at$2,650, the equivalent of just over $100 percalf. “This puts them in the price range forthe average dairy farmer. It takes about 15

to 20 minutes to clean up each station inthe morning and evening.”The Virnigs arefeeding 50 calves with their two units. “Sodoing this special chore in less than onehour per day is a big labor saver. But mostapparent is that calves are just healthier

when they can set their own feeding sched-ules,” Johnson said.

Calf feeders call for setting own feeding schedule

Right now, it’s hard to imag-ine how future tools willchange the beef cowherd.

Today, heifer developmentcosts are high and gettinghigher as ranch profit goalsdemand efficiency while con-sumers want quality.

DNA technology is one of theemerging solutions for beef production,in line with the role it has played inagronomy.

“It takes so much time to develop aherd of cattle — a lifetime, honestly —that’s designed to be feed-efficient orhave high reproduction,” said CodyJorgensen, of Jorgensen Land and Cat-tle, Ideal, S.D. “The more knowledgeyou have about DNA to help you makethe right decision, the better.”

His family has DNA-tested standoutAngus bulls and donor cows for years, buthe plans to step it up a notch this fall.

“It’s going to be a tremendous tool toadd, along with the quantitative geneticresearch that we do,” Jorgensen said.Although the registered cattle world willbe quicker to use the tool, he says thenew lower-density, lower-cost tests “couldimpact commercial cattle heavily.”

“Data is a power,” he said. “You get alot of cost and time and energy stuckinto a bred female, and every day thatit may be in the wrong group, it’s veryexpensive. If a guy knew early in acalf ’s life if it had the abilities we want,it would definitely improve the costs ofraising replacement heifers.”

Larry Kuehn, geneticist at the U.S.Department of Agriculture Agricul-tural Research Service, Meat AnimalResearch Center in Clay Center, Neb.,said DNA is the best forecasting toolavailable right now for young calves.

“It basically helps you skip time,” hesaid. “You’re trying to increase your accu-racy earlier. It’s potentially cheaper to payfor a test to increase accuracy when a bullis born, for example, versus waiting for itto be ultrasounded itself, and especiallywaiting for it to be progeny tested.”

The technology has gotten better andcheaper in the last five years, said BillBowman, American Angus AssociationCOO and president of Angus Genetics

Inc.Researchers streamlined the

process when they began look-ing at changes in the DNAsequence — or “snips” (fromsingle-nucleotide polymor-phisms, SNPs) — and how theyimpact specific traits. That’swhen the 50K tests were born,looking at 50,000 of these

snips.Scientists hope that even higher-den-

sity tests and genome sequencing willallow them to find “functional muta-tions,” the specific points of differentia-tion from one animal to another. Thatwill be important in trying to applyDNA tests across breeds, Kuehn said.

The accuracy of the high-densitytests improves confidence in morebasic, less-expensive ones that draw ona reduced number of snips. An exampleis GeneMax, from Certified Angus BeefLLC, that evaluates gain and gradepotential in commercial Angus cattle.

Today, DNA works especially well inpredicting carcass traits. “The geneticcorrelations derived at AGI suggest that30 percent to 40 percent of the variationwithin a given carcass EPD is explainedby available genomic tests,” Kuehn said,adding that there are other profit-relatedtraits of interest as well.

Reproduction, longevity and animalhealth top the wish list.

“Just a few percentage changes infertility would have a much higherimpact in whole-system profitabilitythan most of these carcass measureswe’re talking about,” he said.

Jorgensen dreams of a system simi-lar to what has shaped the crop side oftheir business.

“If we could genetically select for allthe things that challenge us — if that’sthe fescue grass or the elevation — ifwe could understand DNA that couldhandle that type of environment orthat was resistant to respiratory dis-ease — just imagine that. It would be agame changer.”

Called the Irish Yard,this new baseball field inMinnesota was growingsoybeans in 2010.

This year the Irish Yardis home field for the Mil-roy Irish, members of theGopher League which alsoincludes Wilmont,Luverne, Pipestone,Adrian, Hadley, Tracy and Minneota.Even though it took until June 2 beforethe Irish Yard was ready for baseball,once the umpire yelled “play ball” thisbeautiful new field hosted 14 games in2012.

The project was organized by a fewlocal Irish folks. The board of directorsincludes President Bob Dolan, VicePresident Tom Ogdahl, Treasurer NeilDolan, Secretary Peggy Dolan, plusRon Madison, Tammy Ogdahl andTodd Ellis. Irish blood certainly runsdeep, but well-behaved Norwegiansare accepted as well.

Seven Dolans are on the club rosterincluding Neil Dolan, 48, and BobDolan, 45, who happens to be an ade-quate first baseman when needed. He’salso manager of the Irish and wasinstrumental in building this baseballfield. Bob’s great-grandfather immi-grated from Ireland settling in theGreen Isle area.

Bob tells the story. “When Peggy andI sat down with Jim and Kathy Zwach-ska in the fall of 2009, the look onJim’s face was very transparent. Hewas very quiet, but I know he wasthinking ‘Are you crazy?’ That was thefirst time we approached them to buytheir six-acre plot of land to build ourfield of dreams.”

Dolan said they looked at manypieces of land but nothing made moresense than this piece of ground by thecorn thresher parked along DaytonAvenue. Soon even Zwachska agreedthis was the perfect setting. A 35-foot-tall hill backgrounds the park on thewest side. Located about four milessouthwest of Vesta, Irish Yard hasplenty of parking. Matter of fact somefolks park their car overlooking theballpark and stay there for the entireball game, except perhaps to get a bar-becued sandwich, pickles, chips andbeverages (even cold beer if you’re oldenough), or use the bathroom.

“Being raised in a baseball familywith eight boys and my father, Joe,who was also a baseball player andhuge fan, it was only natural to wantto build our own field,” Bob said.

“We thought building a baseball fieldwould be easy. Move some dirt, plantsome grass, build some dugouts, andplay ball. But we soon found it takes alot of capital and even more work. Theambition was there despite a fewobstacles. The farmer renting the landplanted the field to soybeans in 2010.Also we knew it would take $30,000 to$40,000 to get it started.”

The Minnesota Twins came to therescue with their Community Baseballprogram and a $10,000 grant for the

project. The State Bank of Lucan pro-vided a “start up” loan. “Now it wasJuly 2010 and time to build a baseballfield. We cut the beans and diskedthem under just like the movie ‘Fieldof Dreams’.”

It was July 27, 2010, and Dolanstarted thinking that in 10 monthsthey were going to be playing baseballon this new field. But no way. It tookall of 2011 to get this field ready forbaseball. “Our board of directors, ourfamilies and many other familiesworked the concession stands at bothTwins and Vikings games to raisemore money. But thanks to neighbors,friends and especially family, thisdream is now a reality,” Dolan said.

“We were laughed at and told thiswas a big mistake. We said nothing butworked even harder to make this hap-pen. People said we should play atVesta or Lucan on their softball fields.We just smiled and took the high road.We also knew that with God, all thingsare possible.”

Yes, it’s a nifty field. And good dimen-sions with 302 feet down the right field

line; 315 feet left field line, 375 feet cen-ter field and a 6-foot tall flex chain-linkfence enclosing the entire field. It evensports 69 baseball seats from the oldCamden Yards baseball field picked upby Bob and Peggy in a quick trip to Indi-ana. Eventually this ambitious crewhopes to have lights installed. Perhapstheir Stadium Seating package willhelp pay the bill. When you buy your$50 season pass you get a free beverageand hotdog at every game.

For now Minnesota, for certain Red-wood County, can indeed proudly claimits own Field of Dreams. The MilroyIrish finished the 2012 season with 18wins and 16 losses in their first seasonat the new stadium before losing toWilmont in the 13C Regional Playoffs.

Indeed Irish eyes were smiling atIrish Yard in 2012. And with evenmore young ballplayers trying out forthe team in 2013 a few Irish Jigsmight be common at the Irish Yardnext year.

For more information on this base-ball field you can contact Bob Dolanat [email protected]. ❖

August 2010 — Rich Bartz of D&G donatestime to bulldoze the field making it ready for lev-eling and layout.

Aug. 15, 2010 — Forming up cement for back-stop and backstop poles installed. Poles donatedby Marshall Municipal Utilities.

Sept. 8, 2010 — Grass is planted in infield andbehind the backstop. Too wet for the outfield. Fallof 2010 was wettest in years. Finally in October,outfield grass is planted.

October 2010 — Dugouts are started with woodpurchased from Wood Lake Lumber. Dugouts are40 feet long and 12 feet wide, patterned afterdugouts at Target Field.

May 2011 — Building for concession stand is

donated by Avera Medical from Marshall.

June 2011 — Construction of 56-foot by 20-foot scoreboard. Sitting in center field, it’s big,green and easily read. Inning-by-inning dataplugged in by two young lads as the game pro-gresses.

November 2011 — The day after Thanksgiving,Scotts Tree Service moves 14 large evergreensfrom Bob and Peggy Dolan’s farm to new field.

April 11, 2012 — Batting cage installed.

April 28, 2012 — First team practice on field.Great feeling to be practicing on your own field.

June 2, 2012 — The Irish Yard is completedand Milroy Irish host their first game. ❖

On July 24, the NationalDrought Mitigation Centerannounced that 53 percentof the United States wasexperiencing a moderate toexceptional drought.Drought conditions haveseverely reduced the supplyof hay and other feedstuffs,escalating the demand anddriving up prices.

At the July 24 hay auc-tion in Pipestone, Minn.,supreme quality alfalfa haybrought a high of $260 perton, while grass-alfalfamixed hay brought a highof $200/ton. Grass hay wasslightly lower at $180/ton.

To prepare for higher prices, livestockowners should consider these tips fromUniversity of Minnesota Extension.

• Keep in mind that quality forageshould be the backbone of the livestockdiet. For cattle producers, corn silage,alfalfa or grass haylage, and straw canbe added to the diet; however, thedrought has affected the supply andprice of these feedstuffs as well. Forhorse owners, forage (in the form ofhay or pasture) should comprise a min-imum of two-thirds of their diet. Fewforage alternatives exist for horses.

• If purchasing drought-stressed for-age (hay products or corn silage), theforage should be tested for nitrates.Nitrates can accumulate in stems andstalks of drought-stressed plants. Oncelivestock consume the forage, nitratesturn into nitrites, which bind to redblood cells, preventing the cells fromcarrying oxygen to tissues. Two cases ofnitrate toxicity have recently beenreported in Wisconsin cattle herds. Ona positive note, drought-affected alfalfausually has a higher leaf-stem ration,resulting in better quality.

• If possible, consider adding haystorage to reduce the effects of sea-

sonal price fluctuations. Hay is usuallymore affordable when purchased dur-ing the growing season compared tothe winter months.

• If purchasing hay, buy it early.Waiting for later cuttings (which areusually higher in quality) puts live-stock owners at risk of limited late-sea-son supplies and higher prices. Havinga good working relationship with a haysupplier can help ensure a consistentand reliable source of hay productsand/or corn silage.

• Plan in advance. Budget for theprice increases in feedstuffs and re-evaluate how many livestock you canafford to feed. Unfortunately, increasesin feedstuffs are not always balancedby higher prices for livestock products.

• Finally, try and keep the hay type(grass or alfalfa) or forage product con-sistent in the diet or ration. Constantlychanging hay types can lead to healthproblems, especially with horses, andcan affect production outcomes in cat-tle.

This column was writtenfor the marketing week end-ing Aug. 17.

Hot weather remains inthe spotlight as Class IIIfutures entered the $20 zonethis week for the first timein a long time. The cashdairy markets awaited Fri-day afternoon’s July MilkProduction report, which Iwill detail next week.

Block cheese hit $1.90 perpound but gave some backFriday to close at $1.87, up a pennyand a half on the week but still 3 centsbelow a year ago. Barrel closed at$1.8350, also up 1.5 cents on the weekand 2.75 cents below a year ago whenthey rolled almost 22 cents lower. Onlytwo cars of block and 13 of barreltraded hands this week. The Agricul-tural Marketing Service-surveyed U.S.average block price inched 0.6 cent

higher, to $1.7170. Barrel averaged$1.7132, down 0.6 cent.

Cheese inventories are “in a normalrange which manufacturers are com-fortable with,” according to the U.S.Department of Agriculture’s DairyMarket News. Milk supplies are tight-ening seasonally in much of the coun-try, the USDA said, but there is uncer-tainty over what impact the prolongeddrought will have on feed and hay sup-plies and hence, milk production avail-able for making cheese.

Butter was bid 4.25 cents higher, to$1.7925, 29.5 cents below a year ago.Nothing sold in the cash market. AMSbutter averaged $1.6601, up 2.9 cents.

Churning across the country is chal-lenged by tightening cream supplies.Many butter producers believe creamsupplies will remain snug for the next

few weeks as school bottlingstandardizing resumes butas Class II demand easesfurther, cream suppliesshould become more avail-able. The USDA said overallvolumes of standardizedcream may be lighter thisyear as butterfat levels inmilk have been lower formuch of the summer. Lim-ited supplies are often caus-ing butter producers toreach into inventories to ful-

fill butter demand which is steady,according to the USDA. Some produc-ers are concerned about upcoming tightmilk supplies due to drought, heat andfeed costs and supplies that will proba-bly short milk for butter productionbefore the impact is felt by cheeseplants.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closedthe week 17 cents higher, at $1.65, andExtra Grade closed at $1.6250, up 18.5

cents. AMS powder averaged$1.2467, up 3.2 cents, and drywhey averaged 52.91 cents, up0.9 cent.

The Aug. 10 Daily Dairy Reportsaid that “despite record-largeacreage, this year’s corn crop is13 percent smaller than lastyear’s,” according to the USDA’smonthly World Agricultural Sup-ply and Demand Estimates. TheUSDA projects farmers willabandon 9 million corn acres andharvest 10.8 billion bushels ofcorn, the smallest crop in sixyears.

The drought-reduced cropleaves ending stocks at 650 mil-

lion bushels, only 5.8 percent of annualdemand, the smallest stocks-to-useratio since 1995-96, according to theDDR, which warned “end-users willhave to ration demand.”

The DDR’s Sarina Sharp points outin the DDR’s Daily Dairy Discussion onits website that end-users will be vyingfor the available corn supply and“while many are calling for the Envi-ronmental Protection Agency to waivethe ethanol mandate, this would havelittle or no effect on ethanol demand.Gasoline futures are just shy of $3 pergallon, and ethanol is trading around$2.60. Unless that relationshipchanges, refiners will continue to blendethanol.”

Sharp said ethanol producers are in abetter financial position to buy thehigh-priced corn than are livestock pro-

ducers who have been suffering yearsof difficult finances, pointing to thelarge loss of equity among dairy farm-ers in 2009.

“They can’t borrow their way throughpoor margins,” Sharp said, and beefproducers are in a similar situation soshe expects large culling ahead and“continued contraction.”

■

Reporting on this week’s Livestock,

Dairy, and Poultry Outlook, the DDRsaid “poor margins have encouragedstrong culling and declining produc-tion per cow. USDA lowered its milkyield per cow to 21,830 pounds in2013, down from its 22,060 poundforecast in July. USDA also expectsthe dairy herd to average 9.11 millionhead in 2013, 35,000 cows lower thanits July forecast, down 115,000 head

MIELKE, from pg. 15versus 2012, and the smallest herd since 2005.”

Next year’s milk production is expected to be 198.9billion pounds, down 1.4 percent from the July fore-cast and the DDR reported that, if realized, thiswould be the first year-over-year decline in milk pro-duction since 2009 and the largest annual decline inmilk production since 2001.

Meanwhile; June fluid milk sales amounted to 4.1billion pounds according to the USDA’s estimates,down 0.3 percent from June 2011 and 0.8 percentlower after adjusting for calendar composition. Esti-mated sales of total conventional fluid milk productsdecreased 0.5 percent from June 2011 and estimatedsales of total organic fluid milk products fell 3.9 per-cent from a year earlier.

California’s September Class I milk price is $19.34per hundredweight for the north and $19.61 for thesouth. Both are up $1.33 from August but $4.23below September 2011. The 2012 Class I averagenow stands at $17.99, down from $20.64 at this timea year ago, and compares to $16.46 in 2010. Thesouthern average is $18.26, down from $20.91 a yearago and compares to $16.74 in 2010. The USDAannounces the federal order Class I base Aug. 22.

Speaking of California, the Western United Dairy-men’s recent petition for an emergency hearing onCalifornia’s Class 4b milk pricing formula and a six-month, 50 cents/cwt. increase in the minimum pricefor all classes of milk has drawn responses fromdairy producers and processors.

Dairy Profit Weekly reports that on Aug. 6, theWUD petitioned the California Department of Foodand Agriculture, asking for an emergency hearing ontwo proposals.

First is emergency price relief due to the currentfinancial pressures on dairy producers, notably dueto extremely high feed costs. The WUD is requestinga six-month (October 2012 through March 2013)increase of 50 cents/cwt. on the minimum milk pricesfor all classes of milk.

Second they seek changes to the whey value of the4b pricing formula. The WUD is requesting the capof 75 cents/cwt. to be removed, proposing a scale thatmirrors more closely the whey value under the fed-eral milk marketing order Class III milk pricing for-mula. Both the Class 4b and Class III milk pricingformulas are used for milk processed into cheese.

In a move to address concerns of small cheese mak-ers, the WUD proposed a dry whey exemption on thefirst 100,000 pounds of milk processed daily andwould be only on the whey portion of the Class 4bformula.

You’ll recall that, following a May 31-June 1 hear-ing, a CDFA panel recommended no change in thestate’s 4b pricing formula whey factor. However,

Debate continueson California’sClass 4b pricing

See MIELKE, pg. 17

MIELKE, from pg. 16

CDFA secretary Karen Ross gave dairyproducers a small concession, increas-ing the whey factor cap by 10cents/cwt., effective Aug. 1. She alsoannounced creation of a CaliforniaDairy Future Task Force, charged withdeveloping recommendations for struc-tural changes to California’s dairy pric-ing formulas and other milk marketingregulations.

In a letter to Ross, Joe Augusto, presi-dent of the California Dairy Campaign,urged the CDFA to schedule the emer-gency hearing, saying the previousdecision failed to address the immedi-ate needs of dairy producers.

“The decision that resulted from the4b hearing this spring failed to restoreequity to our dairy pricing system,”Augusto wrote. “California dairy pro-ducers continue to be paid significantlyless than dairy producers in surround-ing states. The fact that the 4b formulaundervalues milk has led to a loss inrevenue of more than $200,000 for theaverage 1,000-head dairy in our stateover the last 12 months.”

“To restore equity to our dairy pricingsystem, our dairy producer membersbelieve California should join the fed-eral milk marketing order. To addressthe inequity in our state dairy pricingsystem, we believe it is imperative thatCDFA remove the cap on the wheyvalue in the 4b formula as called for inthe petition.

“Already this year, more than 65dairies have closed their doors due tothe fact that dairy producer prices donot cover historically high productioncosts,” he continued. “In 2009, theworst year many can recall, 100 dairiesclosed their doors. If closures continueat this rapid pace, 2012 will take aneven greater toll on dairy producers ifaction is not taken by CDFA to restorefairness and equity to our dairy pricingsystem.”

“Dairy producers are unable to passon record high feed costs that haveresulted from the nationwide droughtso it is critical that CDFA take emer-gency action to raise the price of allclasses of milk to prevent more dairiesfrom closing.”

Reis Soares, Soares Dairy of Chow-chilla, Calif. also wrote in support ofthe petition, pleading for the CDFA toconsider the WUD’s petition for anemergency hearing stating; “I am afirst-generation dairy producer andhave been dairying for 28 years. Dairy-

ing in 2009 was about as devastatingas I could have ever imagined until2012. I don’t have to tell you what hashappened to our grain-feed costs, asyou are fully aware of the nation’sworst drought in decades. In 2009 Iborrowed on our farm in order to beable to feed our cattle. I refinanced ourfarm for more than what I originallypaid for it just to stay in business. Iguess you can say I bought our farmtwice now. The equity of our farm isgone; the equity in our cattle is gone; sowe have nothing left to borrow on.”

“I don’t understand how CDFA canallow this much injustice to continue,”Soares said. “The dairy producer paysfor the processors’ cost of operating.The dairy producer pays the full cost ofproducing and hauling the milk to theprocessor. The processor is able to sellthe finished product at a profit, yetthey don’t have to share with the dairyproducer.

“I believe your conclusion in the mostrecent hearing decision that the indus-try should seek structural changes indairy pricing to establish a more stablefoundation for the future was judiciousand should be followed through,” hesaid. “However, in the meantime, howmany more dairies will be lost in Cali-fornia and how many more years willdairy producers have to endure insta-bility before CDFA takes responsibil-ity.”

To no surprise, processors disagree.David Ahlem, vice president of DairyProcurement and Policy for the HilmarCheese Co., asked the CDFA to denythe petition.

“Considering another change to the4b minimum price only weeks after theannouncement of the May 31-June 1,2012, hearing outcome will further per-petuate regulatory uncertainty in thestate,” he wrote. “This constantlychanging business climate will do littleto encourage investment in this stateat a time when capacity is exiting Cali-fornia and growing in other regions.

“In recent days, market prices appearto be rebounding in response to supplyconcerns,” Ahlem continued. “Weshould let markets work. Increasingthe minimum price will not increasethe real value of milk. These intrusiveregulatory adjustments insulate ourindustry from true market signals anddo not create sustainable value. If weare really going to grow the value ofmilk over time, processors and produc-ers must learn to respond to marketsignals and develop the skill set neces-

sary to compete in the global market-place.” Complete details are posted atwww.dairyline.com.

Local Corn and Soybean Price Index

Grain Angles2012 droughtlabeled ‘late’

Traveling throughout the Midwest, it is obviousthat this year’s drought is the “real thing.”

The crop damage has been more extensive than wehave seen since the 1988 drought. In 1988 the droughtwas an “early drought” that saw some recovery laterin the growing season. The drought of 2012 was a “latedrought,” following an early, wetspring. The excessive heat justnailed the corn crop during polli-nation. Many in the markets haveheld out hope for late-season rainsto aid the soybean crop’s develop-ment. In some areas they receivedtimely rains. Yet in other areas thecrop is dying in the field.

On Aug. 10, the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture publishedtheir monthly U.S. supply anddemand report. Their estimatessuggest a 2.2 billion bushelreduction in the corn crop, bring-ing in a 10.8 billion bushel crop. The average U.S.corn yield was reduced 22.6 bushels per acre to123.4 bushels as extreme heat and dryness contin-ued during July across the Plains and Corn Belt.

As forecast the 2012-13 corn yield would be the low-est since 1995-96. Soybean production for 2012-13 isestimated at 2.7 billion bushels, down 358 millionbushels due to the lower harvested acre and yields.

U.S. wheat supplies for 2012-13 were raised 54million bushels with higher forecasted productionand an increase in projected imports from Canada.

The drought of 2012-13 is a fact and I don’t knowmuch more to say about it without sounding like a“broken record.” I talk to people in the trade, readthe newswires and research. Everyone seems to besaying the same things. We all know that the crop isgreatly damaged in many areas and that demand is

Grain OutlookWeather change, but

likely of no helpThe following market analysis is for the week end-

ing Aug. 17.CORN — Corn retreated this week in post-U.S.

Department of Agriculture crop report trading as theweather pattern turned cooler with scattered rainfallover the Midwest.

It’s probably unlikely that cornwill benefit significantly from theweather flip, but test weightcould be improved. The U.S.drought monitor indicated thatthe U.S. drought-affected areasshrank to 61.8 percent from 62.5percent the previous week.

Another benefit derived fromthe weather change was animprovement in basis levels. Wewere headed full steam ahead toharvest, but maturity has beenslowed and end-users have had topush basis levels to keep cornmoving until harvest gains momentum. There werereports that corn from the Memphis area was movingnorth by barge to fill processor demand. Early yieldreports have a wide range, but the perception so faris that they are as expected; if 70 bushels per acrewas expected, that’s what they are seeing, if 140bu./acre was expected, that’s being seen also.

There has been aflatoxin reported in southern Illinois,butno one has raised a red flag that it’s unmanageable. Cropconditions were unchanged in the week ending Aug.12 at 23percent good/excellent. After the weather-inspired drop tostart the week, prices spent the balance of the week strug-gling to get back to the weekly high set on Monday.Strengthin the wheat market helped to pull corn back with Russialowering their wheat production estimate and StrategieGrains lowering Europe’s corn crop estimate to 58.1 millionmetric tons when the USDA is carrying them at 61.5 mmt.

Livestock AnglesCattle, hogs moving

in opposite directionsThe first few weeks of August have seen the live-

stock markets moving in opposite directions. Cattlehave moved to an improving price structure, whilethe hog market continues to slide to lower prices.

The cattle market reversed the recent slide in pricesfueled by good buying in the futures market and animproving beef cutout. Managedmoney reentered the futures earlyin the month pushing the futures toa large premium to the cash mar-ket. This action allowed the packerto become more aggressive in theirbidding for live inventory.

At the same time, the packers werepushing hard to increase the pricesfor boxed beef to improve their mar-gins. The boxed beef responded wellas buying for the Labor Day weekendsurfaced at the same time. This haspushed the beef cutouts back over the$180 per hundredweight level basischoice.This action and the action in the futures allowed thepackers to increase their bids and prices for live cattlemoved back up as high as $120/cwt. basis the Midwest.

The question will be can the momentum carry the cat-tle market after the Labor Day buying is complete. Froma seasonal standpoint, it would not be likely that priceswould continue to improve into the fall months. Withcompetitive meats considerable better value to the con-sumer and a faltering economy the prospects for higherprices being sustained seem remote at this time despitethe possibility of dwindling cattle numbers.

The hog market has been the complete opposite ofthe cattle market over the past several weeks.

Hog prices have been on a steady decline mainlydue to the increased marketing of live inventory. Thishas kept the packer supplied with plenty of pork tomove through the retail and export markets. Because

NYSTROM, from pg. 19The Farm Service Agency

released preliminary plantedand prevented planted acreage usingcertified acreage information. Thereport’s implication was that corn acrescould show an increase of 90,000 to 1.3million acres. The FSA numbers weremainly considered a non-factor sincethey vary so much year to year as com-pared to the USDA numbers.

Weekly export sales were a disap-pointment at 4.8 million bushels forold crop and 5.1 million for new crop.Mexico bought 118,000 mt of U.S.sorghum for 2012-13 during the week.The market is waiting confirmationas to whether Brazilian corn isheaded to the U.S. Gulf.

Weekly ethanol production was up2,000 barrels per day at 819,000 bpd.Ethanol stocks fell to 18.4 million bar-rels from 18.7 million. This is the low-est level since December 2011. TheUnited States imported 88 milliongallons of Brazilian ethanol, the mostsince 2008.

On the topic of the Renewable FuelsStandard mandate, the governorsfrom North Carolina and Arkansas

have requested atemporary sus-pension of the

ethanol mandate. It is not expectedthat a waiver will be granted. It looksunlikely that anything will be donebefore the November election.

An analysis done by Purdue Univer-sity concluded that corn prices wouldfall only $0.40 to $1.30 per bushel,depending on how much the mandatewas lowered and in conjunction withhow bad the drought is affecting thecrop. Since 2012 has only a few monthsleft, margins have improved forethanol production, and ethanolblenders reportedly may have almosthalf of what they’ll need for the rest of2012 stockpiled, any cut this yearwould have a minimal effect.

As long as economics say produceand use ethanol, the industry will, nomatter what the mandate is. Therewere also reports this week thatreleasing crude oil from the StrategicPetroleum Reserve was being consid-ered by the White House. The biggerquestion is what happens in 2013 forthe ethanol mandate.

OUTLOOK: The ProFarmer crop

tour begins Aug. 20. The tour reportswill be watched closely and give themarket direction.

December corn’s first support liesnear $7.70 and resistance at $8.50 perbushel. When the dust settled for theweek, December corn was down 2 centsat $8.07 1/4 per bushel. Look for con-tinued volatility and wide ranges.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans put in amixed performance this week aftercrop conditions as of Aug. 12 improved1 percent in the good/excellent cate-gory to 30 percent.

Soybeans setting pods was 83 per-cent versus 70 percent on average.Soybean basis levels continue to climbhigher with processors having to reallystretch geographically to source sup-plies. There were reports of up toSX+100 being paid at processors.

August soybean receipts were can-celed as the week ended, indicatingbeans may be loaded out. In eight outof the last 10 disaster years, soybeanyields declined from the August cropreport to the final report in January bya minimum of 0.6 bu./acre (1980) to asmuch as nearly 6 bu./acre (2003).

While weekly export sales were bet-ter than expected, they were a market-ing year low, taking the title from lastweek; however, total sales on the books(597 million bushels) for 2012-13 are54 percent of the USDA forecasts fortotal 2012-13 export sales. This week’s

sales were 3.6 million bushels for oldcrop and 34.0 million for new crop.China accounted for 706,000 mt of thetotal sales.

Good crusher margins in the UnitedStates, Europe and China are makingit difficult to get the rationing in placethat we need. China was rumored to bein the market again this week, butnothing was confirmed. China sold402,000 mt of state reserve soybeansand indicated they will hold moreactions in the next few months.

The July National Oilseed Proces-sors Association crush was much bet-ter than expected at 137.4 millionbushels, again, where’s the rationing?

Based on the FSA planted acreagedata, traders may be expecting anincrease on a subsequent USDA reportof 742,000 acres. While interesting,there was little confidence in theseestimates’ correlation to actual acres.

OUTLOOK: November beans gained2 cents this week to close at $16.45 3/4per bushel. There still is a significantamount of rationing to achieve andhigher prices will be a leader in accom-plishing that feat. Recent weather con-ditions may be helping to increase thesize of the crop, but processor marginsare good enough to keep basis firm.Support in the November contract firstlies at $16, then nearer $15.50; firstresistance is the old high of $16.91 1/2,then about every 50 cents higher. ❖

TEALE, from pg. 19of this, the pork cuts have been in asteady decline which has kept thepackers on the defensive in their bid-ding for inventory.

Hot weather and higher grain priceshave contributed to producers movinganimals to market which has floodedpackers with inventory. At the sametime these conditions have producedheavy sow liquidation over recent

weeks also contributing to the growinginventories of available pork supplies.

This liquidation should be noted asfar as future total inventories of hogsas herd size in the industry could dra-matically decline in the latter part ofthe year and into next year. For thenear term it would appear that pricesshould be at a level where they beginto stabilize unless further herd liqui-dation occurs to pressure the market.❖

Soybeans putting in a mixed market performace

Packers flooded with inventory

NEHER, from pg. 19strong. The food/feed versus fueldebate has risen to a fevered pitch asethanol production has once againbecome demonized.

Many in the grain industry are in afoul mood and looking for someone toblame. The “blame game” does notchange the fact that Mother Naturehas been brutal to many grain-produc-ing areas in the United States thisyear. There will be no easy answers tothe rationing job that the market mustconduct this year. This is the nature ofa business that is so dependent onforces out of our control.

I remember a conversation that I hadwith a veteran Iowa farmer in thesummer of 1988. I was farming inwestern Kansas at that time and waslearning, firsthand the pain of a cropfailure. I lamented that I was at themercy of what did or did not fall fromthe sky.

I told him that my son was born in

February and he still had never heardthunder. This farmer patiently heardme out and then stated that he hadspent more years looking at the skyand wishing it would not rain, thanwishing it would rain. He had neverhad a crop failure in his 40 plus yearsof farming. I was stunned and leftwithout much to say to him.

I called him on the telephone a fewnights ago and asked him how hiscrops were this year. He paused for amoment and told me that he remem-bered our conversation all those yearsago. He said, “I now know what it feelslike to realize that the great crops thatI have raised in all my years of farmingwere not of my doing.”

That proud farmer was experiencingthe humbling impact of a crop failure.As I hung up the telephone that night,I know he would survive because hehas great reserves of working capitalthat he has preserved throughout theyears. He had found a Grain Angle thatwas a key to his success. ❖

A recent study conducted by theUniversity of Minnesota TourismCenter examined how travel pat-terns among households withschool-aged children change whenschool starts before Labor Day. Theresults provide missing data forpolicy makers as they considerending the mandate that schooldistricts start after Labor Day inMinnesota.

The study finds that:• Family trips of two or more

nights away from home decreasedby 50 percent in August or Septem-ber when school starts were moved to before LaborDay.

• Family overnight travel throughout the season— from May through September — decreased by 30percent when school starts were moved to beforeLabor Day.

This suggests that when school starts beforeLabor Day, some families forgo summer trips,whereas others simply travel earlier in the season.

Data for the study was drawn from the AmericanTime Use Survey, a national study sponsored by theBureau of Labor Statistics and conducted by theU.S. Census Bureau. The survey is designed todescribe how Americans use time on a daily basis.While past studies have asked hypothetical ques-tions about travel, the Tourism Center study exam-ined actual travel behavior of families in five states.

This study compared ATUS data about travel inMinnesota, Virginia, Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin

as they transitioned inand out of school calen-dar or policy changes.Steps were taken toassure that the behaviorchange was attributed toschool start times, ratherthan other conditions.For example, the studyfound that families with-out children who werefrom similar demo-graphic and economicgroups showed no differ-ence in travel when

school starts date changed.The report, authored by Elton Mykerezi of the U of

M Department of Applied Economics and GentiKostandini of the University of Georgia, notes thatschool districts want flexibility in start dates due toa variety of concerns, such as the need for time toprepare students for testing.

Mykerezi says arguments against earlier startdates come from those concerned about the value of

family leisure time, as well as from members of thetourism and hospitality industry concerned that apre-Labor Day start will hurt tourism by reducingfamily travel.

“Policy makers considering school start dates areweighing important matters for the public good,”said Ingrid Schneider, director of the University ofMinnesota Tourism Center. “Everyone wants strongeducational outcomes, and the tourism industrywants to remain a successful economic force. Wewanted to bring objective and comparative data tothis issue.”

Everyone wants strongeducational outcomes, andthe tourism industry wantsto remain a successful eco-nomic force. We wanted tobring objective and com-parative data to this issue.

— Ingrid Schneider, director of the University

of Minnesota Tourism Center

A number of foods in yourkitchen can be deadly toyour cats and dogs. Youmay know some, and oth-ers may surprise you.

Dorothy Black, clinicalassistant professor at theTexas A&M University Col-lege of Veterinary Medicineand Biomedical Sciences,said these foods may notalways cause toxic reac-tions. “But it’s just a goodrule of thumb to keepthese items off yourkitchen counters andunder no circumstances feed thesefoods to your pet,” she said.

Grapes and raisins possess anunknown toxic substance that can leadto renal failure. Toxic doses have beenreported with just one or two grapes orraisins. There is no known antidote,only supportive care and dialysis tosupport kidney recovery.

Not all animals willsuffer kidney fail-ure after ingest-ing grapes orraisins, but it isbest to avoid themfor your dogs andcats.

“Grapes can be par-ticularly tricky for dogs,because many actuallylike to eat grapes, so youhave to be especiallyaware,” Black said. “Ourpets are amazing creatures,but they can really get into dangeroussituations with human food veryquickly.”

Chocolate is also commonly known tobe bad for pets. It contains two toxicingredients — caffeine and theo-bromine. Dark chocolate is especiallyharmful because it has a higher con-

centration of toxic metabolites thanmilk chocolate or white choco-

late.Signs of distress seen after

chocolate ingestion includeanxiety/anxiousness, hyperac-tivity, urination, elevated bodytemperature, seizures and

irregular heart rhythms. There isno antidote, but supportive care is

usually successful for recov-ery.Xylitol is a common sugar

substitute now used in manykitchens. If ingested by pets,

it is associated with a severedecline in blood sugar and liver failure.The exact mechanism of toxicity isunknown, and there is no antidote.While supportive care is typically suc-cessful, liver failure may still occur.

“It is important to remember that ifyou cook or use xylitol in yourfoods, those foods should not befed to pets,” Black said. “It isstill toxic if used in cookingor baking.”

Onions, garlic and chivesare also toxic. They con-tain allicin, which isreleased upon crushingor chewing the plant.Allicin damages thehemoglobin in redblood cells, leading to

anemia. There is no anti-dote, though supportive care is

typically successful.While cats are especially affected by

onions and garlic, dogs are especiallysusceptible to macadamia nut toxicity.An unknown toxin in the nut leads todifficulty walking, high body tempera-tures, depression and vomiting. Nodeaths have been reported, but hospitalcare is often required.

“Supportive care, which is the usual

treatment for food toxicity, often worksto recover pets who ingest these foods,”Black said. “But these supportive treat-ments to get pets back on their feet areoften very costly for the owner and dif-ficult for the patient. In cases thatrequire dialysis, pets have a difficultroad to recovery.”

Foods mentioned here should be keptoff countertops and out of reach of pets,and under no circumstances fed to dogsand cats. Preventing pets from ingest-

ing these items is the best way to keepthem safe. But, if they do ingest thesefoods, contact your veterinarian imme-diately.

It’s just a myth ... isn’t it?

Do you have a Back Roads story suggestion? E-mail [email protected] or write to Editor, The Land, P.O. Box 3169, Mankato, MN 56002.

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Correspondents Tim King (story) and Jan King (photo)

Memorial Park,Crosby, Minn.

There is a hint of a hint that the glistening seaserpent statue on the shores of Serpent Lake in

Crosby Memorial Park may have some basis inreality.

Crosby, Minn., is surrounded by both natural andman-made lakes. One, Mahnomen Pit Lake, is 525feet deep. There is ample space for real sea serpentsin those depths. The rainbow and brook trout,stocked by the Department of Natural Resources forsport fishing, could feed a sea serpent.

But, the hint about the existence of a real seaserpent has its origins in Serpent Lake. We went toCrosby’s public library in search of information onthe sea serpent sculpture. When in need of infor-mation we find librarians are always helpful and

the Crosby library staff was no exception.The statue is 20 feet high, 25 feet long and weighs

2,500 pounds. It was made of Styrofoam by a com-pany in Sparta, Wis., on an order from the CrosbyChamber of Commerce. It arrived in Crosby in Juneof 1977, just in advance of the statewide firemen’sconvention, which was held in Crosby that year. Andits beautiful glistening sparkle that has held up sowell for nearly four decades consists of 20 or moreshades of color. It looks as if Kahnah’ bek, which isthe serpent’s name, has just emerged from thewater and is dripping wet.

With these verifiable facts in hand we turned togo. As we did, one of the librarians, a quiet anddemure silver-haired woman, dropped her eyes and

almost whispered this: “There were rumors about ...but I don’t ...” She didn’t complete her sentences.

Crosby is a relatively young and vibrant townwith a bit of a checkered past. In 1924, it was thesite of a mine disaster wherein 41 miners drowned.Following that, it became the first U.S. town to electa Communist mayor.

The mines eventually closed, filled with crystal coldwater, and the town moved on. But there may besecrets not told. One may be that as Serpent Lakedeveloped over the years a glistening sea monsterslipped out and found its way to a deep mine pit lake.

There are many things to do in Crosby. One ofthem is to sit in the park, near Kahnah’ bek but fac-ing Serpent Lake, and contemplate this possibility. ❖
