Beef cow numbers appear tofinally be stabilizing, but atbarely 28 million nationwide,this is the lowest beef cow countsince the 1950s. The all-timehigh was 45.712 million in 1975.Minnesota accounted for751,000 that year; by 2012, thenumber had dropped to365,000, according to U.S.Department of Agriculture

data. Texas, Nebraska andKansas continue as the topthree states in cattle and calves,but with major cutbacks due todrought conditions the pastthree years, that ranking mightsoon be readjusted.

“Cow numbers hopefully willstabilize this year but it will bea long road back,” said RogerWallace, feedlot consultantworking the Elkhorn, Neb., cat-tle feeding area. He said the cat-

tle feeding business has been inred ink for several months; hogproduction is unprofitable cur-rently. He’s not so excited aboutthe immediate future either.

“If corn collapses this fall likesome expect, that likely will getpriced into the price of calveswhich is already ramped upbecause of the shortage of cows,”Wallace said. “We just won’t

A three-week road trip of 5,882 milesthrough 10 states was an amazing adven-ture for my wife and me March 19 to April9. I’m pleased to report our marriageremains intact; in fact we talked aboutthings we’ve never before discussed.

We dodged any vehicle issues by rentinga Chrysler Town & Country van throughEnterprise Rent-A-Car. Our own van has223,400 miles on it — seemed unwise tochallenge it on this adventure. Thanks toa remarkable batch of maps from AAA,our routes and destinations were clearlydetailed, including precise GPS guid-ance to each family member and friendalong the way.

It started with an overnight with my older sisterand family in Tulsa, Okla. My travel tendencies areto use the interstate system only as needed for time,comfort and convenience. A few “side trips” along theway enriched our travels and generated several sto-ries that may appearin future issues of TheLand. One such sidetrip was to SulphurSprings, Texas, whichincluded a stop at theSouthwest DairyMuseum.

While there we alsochecked out the 110-year-old, four-storyHopkins County Cour-thouse in SulphurSprings. They recentlyspent $5.5 million refurbishing this grand old build-ing. Our tour guide told of its distinctiveRomanesque Revival architecture with towers, tur-rets and a huge clock tower that contained no clockbecause one of the county fathers said, “Get up atsunup, go to bed at dark and eat when you are hun-gry, and you don’t need no (expletive) clock.” Goodlogic, perhaps even in 2013.

From there, on to Houston. My gosh, what amegapolis! My youngest son, Jeff, is an engineer withPhillips Petroleum Co. there. This coastal area usedto be a major rice farming area. Today “greater Hous-ton” is home to 5.7 million people (compare this toMinnesota’s state population of 5 million). My sondrove us out to Galveston Island, about 30 milesfrom downtown Houston and connected to the main-land by Interstate 45.

I was amazed by the tremendous number of oilrefineries; I counted 14. My son told me, “that is whyHouston is the ‘Oil Capital of the World.”’ He saidthey don’t build new refineries anymore, “instead we

just expand our refineries already inplace.”

Galveston Island has its own “Disney-land” called the Kemah Boardwalk; greatfun for children of all ages, and great eat-ing places, too. Evident in Galveston Baywere oil tankers delivering crude oil fromMexico, Venezuela, the Middle East andperhaps other sources.

Even with our huge ethanol industryplus expansion of oil and natural gas pro-duction within our own boundaries, we

still import about 40 percent of our totalpetroleum needs.

Traveling from Houston to San Anto-nio and then on to El Paso — about a 500-mile jaunt— the vast open country of southwest Texas smacksyour eyeballs and senses. Gladie and I often won-dered how the few cattle we did see could survive onthis mile-after-mile of open range. I’m guessing onecritter per 50 acres of sagebrush might be a generous

assessment.San Antonio — what

an exciting city! Wecould sense the pulse assoon as we parked ourvehicle and hiked a fewblocks to the famousRiver Walk smack dab indowntown San Antonio.You can leisurely enjoythe walk, or hop a motor-ized riverboat for aguided tour of thisremarkable oasis in the

center of this thriving city.San Antonio also included a lunch stop at The

Buckhorn Saloon & Museum. Established in 1881,legend says this is the place where Teddy Rooseveltrecruited his Rough Riders and Poncho Villa plannedthe Mexican Revolution. If you like viewing wallmounts of wild animal species from around theworld, the Buckhorn is your place, with 218 specieson display. It’s just two blocks from the Alamo andone block from the River Walk.

Side tracking off our AAA route, we did anovernight at Parker, Ariz., specifically to enjoy thebeauty and charm of the Blue Water Resort & Casinohugging the Colorado River. A lack of time andmoney was our only lament. Morning breakfast thenext day at Lake Havasu City, Ariz., a sparkling gemon the Colorado River where our friends Curt and LilWood hang out each winter.

Traveling from Houston to San Antonioand then on to El Paso — about a 500-mile jaunt — the vast open country tosouthwest Texas smacks your eyeballsand senses. Gladie and I often won-dered how the few cattle we did seecould survive on this mile-after-mile ofopen range.

MINDS, from pg. 2AStill a young town, it was launched in

the early 1970s by the man behind theMcCullough chain saw empire. Curt tells us Havasuhas now become a major spring break destination forcollege students. “We don’t leave the house if wedon’t need to during that week-long adventure forthe kids,” he chuckled.

We entered California at Needles on I-40 and even-tually headed north on I-5, a major interstatethreading through the heart of the San Joaquin Val-ley. This is the incredible agricultural powerhouse ofCalifornia, with miles and miles of crops, orchardsand vineyards, plus a few dairy and cattle operationsas well. Out here livestock enterprises are mostly ofthe “mega size” category, meaning 1,000 or moredairy cows or 10,000 or more beef cattle.

We did an overnight at Harris Ranch. They offeredgreat food, especially the prime beef provided bytheir own ranch, and fabulously comfortable rooms.You don’t eat or sleep cheaply at Harris Ranch, butwe had decided earlier to pamper ourselves a fewtimes, regardless of the family budget.

The Harris Ranch feeds out about 50,000 head ofbeef yearly at this particular location; two other loca-tions each do another 50,000 per year. All told, theycover approximately 18,000 acres growing a widevariety of vegetable, fruit and nut crops — about 22

in all including everything from cotton,lettuce, garlic, asparagus, onions, toma-

toes and melons to oranges, lemons, pis-tachios, walnuts, almonds and acres of grapes.Because they are the biggest cattle producer in Cali-fornia, however, anti-ag activists are a constantthreat to this showcase cattle farm. You’re in Califor-nia — what do you expect?

While here you are often reminded of the continuingbattle for water. A frequent sign along the interstateread: “Valley farms paid 100 percent for their statewater allocation but only received 35 percent in 2008, 40percent in 2009, 50 percent in 2010. Farmers lost over$200 million on water not delivered!” The big bannersalso listed a website: WaterForAll.com. With agricultureso vital to their economy, I don’t see any solution to thisdilemma.

Rio Vista, Calif., was our Easter weekend stop withmy younger sister and family. Only about 40 milesfrom the Napa Valley area, this quaint little villagesits adjacent to the Sacramento River. Thanks to animmense inland canal and lock system, ocean-goingfreighters traverse from San Francisco all the wayup to Sacramento. This same river provides a hugeamount of water that feeds the vineyards, orchards,crop fields and vegetables of this productive area.

We did a Saturday drive through much of NapaValley. It’s smaller than I imagined: only about 40

miles, north to south, and only about 5 miles wide.Beautiful vineyards, exquisite wineries and enticingrestaurants abound. This is indeed America’s mostfamous and prestigious wine-producing region. Onlyabout an hour’s drive from either San Francisco orSacramento, this splendid hunk of America’s geog-raphy is home to over 400 wineries.

Back at my sister’s home we snacked (with wine,of course) on an intriguing root crop called endive.Touched up with Roquefort cheese, humus, choppednuts and honey, these leaf sprouts are delightfullytasty.

After Easter we finally headed east, with home —Olivia, Minn. — our destination. But again detour-ing off the interstate we made a “potty stop” at theBorder Inn in Baker, Nev., the last village beforecrossing into Utah. The proprietor there is DenysKoyle. This lady is incredibly knowledgeable aboutthe history of sheep production in Utah. Last fall areporter from the Los Angeles Times came to Bakerto interview Koyle as part of a feature series, “Oldsheepherders spin poignant yarns.” Denys sharedsome of that history with me, for a story in a futureissue of The Land.

Soon we reached Grand Junction, Colo., for anovernight with a cousin, long-retired from an engi-

The first good corn planting day ofspring finally arrived at my central Illi-nois farmette April 30. Like the month’sprevious 29 days, however, no one within100 miles used it to plant because near-record rains had washed April away.

So now it’s May and it’s late by anycorn planting standard. On the big south-ern Illinois dairy farm of my youth wesometimes finished planting corn in Junebut we always started in April.

Those long-ago planting seasons — allseasons, in fact — always marched to atwo-step tune: the predictable, twice-a-day milking of 100 Holsteins and theunpredictable rise and fall of the nearbyMississippi River. The river was in God’s hands; thecows in ours.

That meant the acres planted any day were lim-ited to the acres Dad could “work” — field cultivatewhile applying a pre-plant herbicide — ahead of theplanter between morning and evening milkings andat night. It wasn’t much, usually 50 acres most daysand maybe 60 in a big day and long night.

Jackie, the farm’s loyal hired man, was the planterjockey. He worked 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. six days a weekwithout fail. He had no watch because he couldn’ttell time but he did have three times — startingtime, quitting time and dinner time — programmedinto his DNA and, like him, it never failed.

The Oliver 77 he drove was nearly as faithful.

Gas-powered with both hydraulics and aPTO, it was his go-to tractor for planting,manure spreading, baling and pullinggrain and silage wagons. It ran like the

watch Jackie didn’t own.The planter, an Oliver of mid-1960s

vintage, was very different. It was theworst piece of engineered iron ever sold to anyone. Itnever completed one round — be it a quarter mile, ahalf mile or, like most of our fields, one mile — in acorn field without some minor or major breakdown.

If, by some miracle, its chattering collection of ground-driven chains and rotating planter plates held togetherlong enough to actually plant six rows up and back,Jackie, a world class cusser, could be seen on his kneesin the middle of the headland praising the miracle.

Oh, the miracle wasn’t on the level of Lourdes orKnock; it was bigger.

The planter stuck around as long as Jackie and mybrothers and me. Since my father never ran it heseemed to overlook the fact that its main design featurewas failure. To him, most of the planter’s failures were

operator failures: we were going too fast or too slow; theground was too wet or too dry; we wore our caps too low.

Huh?The planter’s final spring came in 1978. That cold,

wet, forsaken season I planted every kernel, row andacre with that forsaken planter.

But I was more than the corn planter that year; Ialso was the planter monitor. Four or five timesevery round I climbed off the tractor to check everysprocket, chain and planter box to make certain itcould make it another 400 or so yards. If reassured,I’d climb back on the tractor and off I’d go.

For another 400 yards. Then I’d stop, climb downand check it all again. Often on my way back to thetractor I’d smack the implement’s tongue with ahammer just to let it know I still was alert.

Late that winter, I took a freezer full of food, a newinterest in writing and the lovely Catherine back tothe Big U and off to a different future.

A couple of months later, my father, threatenedwith the prospect of planting corn with a machine hehad fixed — and everyone else had cussed — dailyfor 15 years, traded the planter for a six-row JohnDeere MaxEmerge with a Dickey-john monitor. Hadhe made the swap in 1978 I might have stayed.

MINDS, from pg. 3Aneering career with Martin Marietta.Grand Junction is one of those gems sit-ting in the middle of nowhere. If you have the oppor-tunity, indulge in the 20-mile excursion of the GrandMonument loop, just outside of town. Spectacularscenery is found around every curve of this incredi-ble mountain drive.

Next stop was Breckenridge, Colo., where my old-est son, Michael, and family have a “weekend home.”Colorado Springs is their home during the week. Ilearned of a sport called mountaineering. With “spe-cial skins” fastened to the bottom of your skis youmake your way up a mountain, then remove theskins and let gravity guide you back down. Michaeland his wife, Eva, are very much into such adven-ture. No, I didn’t try it, but did enjoy several runs onPeak 8 at Breckenridge with my 6-year-old grand-daughter, Ella, who would occasionally slow down soher old granddad could catch up again.

Our last stop was in Loveland, Colo., for anovernight with an Iowa State classmate who is now aretired attorney in this beautiful town on the Rock-ies’ front range. Even with some abundant springsnow, much of this region was still desperately dry.Bob Aasenhus, my attorney friend, said the big Love-land reservoir was down about 18 feet from normal.

I noticed farm equipment dealers with big invento-ries of new machinery, especially tractors, plantersand combines. It’s quite obvious that the recent goodyears of agriculture also occured in this heavily irri-gated section of America. We spotted a few center piv-ots at work in open fields and on a few winter wheatfields looking desperately in need of moisture. Butmuch of the front range of Colorado and the easternsections of Nebraska and Kansas still appeared dras-tically dry. A few farmers were doing spring tillageand dust was flying — not a good sign.

We pulled into our “Little Ponderosa”about 4 p.m. April 9. Winds were howling

and delivering a freezing sleet, but wewere most fortunate. Our last day from GrandIsland, Neb., to Olivia was the only challengingweather our entire journey. Praise the Lord, we’rehome. And it’s good.

It’s now May 3 as I write this, and as I look at

fields from my upstairs office at our farm house,outside of a few acres of peas, sugar beets and sweetcorn, few wheels are turning. But with the power ofthe big equipment out there, most farmers can getall of their corn planted in a single week. Stay safe,farmer friends and get rest as needed.

To the Editor:As a retired dairy farmer, I remember

the hard fought battles between familyfarmers and utility companies over high voltagepower lines cutting across Minnesota in the 1970s.

One of the outcomes of this was the “Buy theFarm” law. Essentially, this law says that farmers andlandowners have the right to require that companies pur-chase their entire farm if high voltage power lines areforced onto their property. The law was intended torequire utilities to fully reimburse farmers and landown-ers for their land, relocation expenses and lost business.

It’s a good law and anexample of public pol-

icy that puts the inter-ests of people before the interests ofcorporations, something we coulduse a lot more of today.

With the construction of the 650-mile CapX2020 high voltage powerline under way, this law hasrenewed importance to familyfarmers and landowners across thestate.

When I heard that Xcel Energyand the other backers of CapX2020are claiming that farmers are “vol-untarily” relocating their farmsand any reimbursements for mov-ing expenses and lost businesswould be “extra compensation,” Ican’t say I was surprised.

But let’s be clear: Farmers andlandowners didn’t have a choiceabout the high voltage lines cut-ting across their land — it wasforced upon them. The “Buy the

Farm” law has been on the books for 35 years andXcel Energy and the rest of them knew it.

But the energy conglomerate backing the projectthinks that by using their considerable resources(Xcel Energy alone has 37 registered lobbyists inMinnesota) they can sidestep the law so they won’thave to fully compensate people for movingexpenses.

The cost of fulfilling the utility companies’ obliga-tion to farmers and landowners is minimal next tothe cost of the project. CapX2020 is estimated to cost$2.2 billion. With less than 100 landowners expectedto file for relocation across the entire state, theirattempt to short change farmers and landowners isdownright petty.

The Minnesota House did the right thing byincluding in their ag omnibus finance bill languagethat clarifies the original intent of the “Buy theFarm” law. That bill is in conference committee rightnow and the conferees from both the House and Sen-ate should stand up for family farmers and makesure the “Buy the Farm” clarification is included inthe final bill.Alan PerishBrowerville, Minn.

A Wall Street billionaireis pledging to spend “what-ever it takes” to make man-made global warming the “defining issueof our generation.” Most recently, he sentairplanes with banners over Boston thatread “Steve Lynch for Oil Evil Empire.”Lynch, a fellow Democrat and Senatecandidate, favors the Keystone pipelineand the jobs it would create.

“The goal here is not to win,” saidTom Steyer, who assembled his $1.4billion fortune as a hedge fund man-ager. “The goal here is to destroy thesepeople. We want a smashing victory.”Smash any politicians who might“wimp out” on the harsh policies neces-sary to change the world into Steyer’s“green energy” image. Spoken like atrue Big Board Type-A personality,

Notice, however, that Steyer isn’t offer-ing to help us pay the extra cost of thegreen energy systems he demands, Thatwould cost too much even for a billion-aire. Germany’s environment minister,

Peter Altmeier, recentlydisclosed that his country’s

green energy transition willcost $1.310 trillion dollars. Moreover, the$1.310 trillion would only fund the greenenergy transition for Germany, a smallcountry with just 82 million people. Atthe German rate of $15,000 per capita,would the world of 7 billion people lookforward to spending $100 trillion for thewhole global green transformation?There isn’t that much money in theworld, and with green energy limitationsthere won’t ever be that much.

Green energy also costs more to oper-ate. And all of this wouldn’t even reduceCO2 emissions. That’s because there isn’tany really “green” energy. Europe’s solarand wind energy are so erratic they mustbe backed 90 percent by fossil powerplants in “spinning reserve.”The only real“solution” for the CO2 problem is nuclear,which isn’t on anybody’s ballot.

Steyer also needs to be aware of thelimitations even of a victory at the polls.

A narrow win like Obama’s last won’t beenough to force an energy policy that’sviscerally opposed by the average Amer-ican. The shale gas revolution is now infull swing, thanks to America’s privateproperty laws and the public’s recentcheerful experience with “fracking.”Natural gas is far cheaper here than inEurope, and EU chemical and plasticsmakers are shifting their investmentsto expand the jobs here instead.

It is doubtful that even the Environ-mental Protection Agency will daretrying to push the shale gas backunderground — or that an adminis-tration can continue to rule effectivelywhile defending such a rule.

Add in the recent discovery of 3 tril-lion tons of coal undersea off Norway,and recent successes in bringing upnatural gas from massive deposits ofmethane hydrates underneath thePacific (Japan) and tundra (Alaska).

Steyer’s final hurdle, of course, is the

lack of warming. The satellite readingsshow no warming trend since 1997.There has been only a modest warmingsince 1940 even with the official ther-mometers shifting ever more heavily intourban heat islands.The ice records tell usthe earth’s temperature naturally shifts,abruptly, by 2 to 4 degrees Celsiusroughly every 700 years. The modelerscan’t explain why the Modern Warmingis different from the Medieval Warming.

The current non-warming trend —and possibly a moderate cooling — islikely to last until about 2037 becauseof a Pacific cooling cycle. Steyer’s billionwill run out long before then.

“Strong winds melted a lot of snowon Saturday,” he said. While fieldsremain “a little soft” Brandt washopeful that he could start putting inwheat by the end of the week. He’sfinished with fine-tuning equipment,and is itching to hop in the tractor.“Things are ready to go.”

Brandt said his seed inventory wascoming in, with the remaining bal-ance of the seed expected at the farmby the end of the week.

There’s a new addition to his cornplanter tractor this year: auto steer.Brandt is looking forward to using thenew Case-IH equipment, which uti-lizes one monitor with multiplescreens.

Planting isn’t the only thing Brandtis looking forward to. “The next batchof sows are farrowing in the nextweek,” he said. The June-July farrow-ing will be done with a pure Durocboar. This will be the first time “inmany years” the Brandt farm hasused a Duroc.

Saturday was the first time in twomonths that the area experiencedabove-average temperatures. Withthat, Brandt believes “the weatherwill cooperate with us and give us adecent spring.”

And when that decent spring doesarrive, he’ll be ready to go.

The JohnsonsStarbuck, Minn.

He still wasn’t planting, but at leastScott Johnson was in the field.

Picking rocks.When The Land

spoke to Johnson, onMay 1, the Starbuckarea wasn’t fore-casted to get the sixto nine inches of snowthat parts of south-eastern Minnesotawere expecting, butthey were looking at some coldevenings.

Johnson would like to be out plant-ing, but realizes that “it doesn’t pay toget out there before it’s ready.”

He predicted that “things will reallypick up next week.” If conditions areright “we might even try (planting) afield or two this week.”

Johnson said last weekend’s warmweather was “wonderful.” He knowsthat farmers in the area, himselfincluded, are extremely close to plant-ing. “A couple farmers are starting toscratch the dirt,” he said.

Johnson believes that if he’s able tobegin planting on May 6, he’d be twoweeks behind schedule. Once plantingbegins he hopes that with goodweather they would be done with cornin seven to 10 days.

The fields have “some spots withstanding water, but overall (they’re)looking pretty good,” he said. So the

fields are in good shape; if only theweather would shape up as well.

The MessnersNorthfield, Minn.

A snow day at theend of April? That’sexactly what hap-pened for Chris Mess-ner’s children onApril 23. He esti-mated that theNorthfield area received eight or nineinches of snow in that storm. Warmerweather afterwards melted the snow,but “the ground is still wet and cold,”Messner said.

The Land spoke with Messner onApril 30, when he reported that thesoil temperature was at 38 F.

The forecast was not helping towarm up that soil anytime soon — itwas supposed to be wet and cold again.When it comes to progress in the fields,Messner said there’s “pretty close tonothing in our area. ... We could be wetall the way through the weekend.”

With no planting going on in thearea, he said that some farmers weregetting nervous. Messner predictedthat May 10 would be the earliest hecould get in the field.

At Central Valley Co-op where Mess-ner works, they too are ready and wait-

ing for planting to begin. He said theyhadn’t even pulled out one anhydroustank yet.

“I think everybody’s ready,” saidMessner, but with more cold, snow andrain forecasted, patience may soon bein short supply.

Note: After this story was written theOwatonna area, not far from North-field, received an additional 12 to 17inches of snowfall on May 1-2, break-ing records for May snow.

The LaubenthalsSwea City, Iowa

“Weather’s beenreal nice.”

No one in the regionhad been able to saythat for quite sometime, but CharlieLaubenthal reportedjust that to The Land on April 30. Itwas so nice, in fact, that Laubenthalstarted planting corn that day.

He wanted to get as much cornplanted as he could that day becausethe forecast for May 1 was for twoinches of snow and “cold the rest ofweek,” with nights in the low 30s.Laubenthal hoped to get “200 acres orbetter planted today. We’ll run until wecan’t run anymore.”

He said the fields were good, just“lacking heat.” With good field condi-tions, Laubenthal estimated he’d bedone planting corn in 10 days. Eventhough they were 10 days behind, henoted that “I don’t panic very easily.”He predicted that if they missed therain that night, there would be a lot ofpeople planting the next day.

In addition to planting, Laubenthalhas been preparing an area on thefarm for the construction of a hogbuilding. That work consisted of haul-ing a lot of dirt to get the site ready.The building should be up and housingpigs by the end of July.

Laubenthal was hopeful that by thetime The Land readers see this report,corn planting will be almost completedon his farm. If not, he admitted he maybe “in panic mode.” ❖

CATTLE, from pg. 1Ahave enough new calves to fill potentialdemand if cattle prices begin to rebound.”

That’s a potentially great scenario for thecow-calf man but not for the cattle feeder, hesaid.

Wallace didn’t venture a price on “collapsedcorn” but did say that according to USDAprojections on the 2013 corn crop, $4 to $4.50corn could be a distinct possibility.

Wallace pays close attention to retail meat mar-kets since, in fact, that is what drives the price forlive cattle. He admitted that the higher priced porkand beef cuts aren’t selling, which is directly pushingdown hog and beef prices.

“Yes, hamburger and ham are almost bargainpriced these days,” he said, “but the question is atwhat price level do you sell this reduced demand formeat? Right now we’re selling this reduced amountof meat at significantly higher prices every year.”

That means implied demand for meat is still goodbut we are seeing per capita supplies drop. That, ofcourse, accounts for the declining consumption, Wal-lace said. His concern is that if we get a good corncrop, and meat production starts rebounding, whatprice level it will take to recapture those lost cus-tomers.

Are exports the key to sustainability in the U.S.meat market? Yes, but U.S. cattlemen have a heftynew competitor in world meat exports.

“India is now the biggest beef exporter,”Wallace said. The South Asian nation hasdeveloped a huge dairy industry over thepast 10 years. Becauseof their culture theydon’t eat much meat, soolder dairy cows getprocessed for export,mostly to Middle Eastcountries.

“India virtually came out ofnowhere to become No. 1 inmeat exports; No. 2 and No. 3sort of flip flops between theU.S. and Brazil,” Wallace said.At the low end of the marketIndia is obviously a strong com-petitor. “And until we get ourfeed costs down and expand U.S.beef production we’re reallygoing to be a smaller player inthe world market,” he said.

Because of drought issues, will the U.S. beef cowherd keep relocating out of the southwest and intothe north central states? Wallace thinks not, simplybecause the bulk of the decline has already hap-pened. Texas alone has lost 26 percent of their beefcows and if this drought starts breaking they canand will recover quickly.

Why? Because they have vast ranges of land readyto be repopulated with beef cows just as soon asgrasses and other forages start growing again.

“Down there it’s either going to be abandoned rangeor utilized range. And the only way to utilize thesemillions of acres is with cattle. However it will take

two to three years to get thesecow numbers back up again.”

With depressed fat cattleprices and high feed costs, whydon’t cattle feeders finish theircattle at 1,100 to 1,200 poundsrather than 1,400 pounds?Wouldn’t that lessen feed costsand also put less beef into theretail market, which shouldarguably raise market prices?

“That only works out whenthe cost of gain gets higherthan the value of the animals.We’re close to that right now.You want to maximize revenueon each animal but to be aviable industry you want to bethe most efficient you can be.

Therefore over time the industry will be healthierthe bigger we make the animal, as long as the con-sumer is willing to accept the meat,” he said.

Wallace predicted that the winter of 2013-14 looksgood for cattle feeders, but between now and thenit’s going to be a red-ink scenario.

Wallace spoke at a recent outlook conference forfarmers and ag bankers at Southwest MinnesotaState University in Marshall. ❖

Although finished-cattle prices that wereexpected to increase this year for producersremained low in the first quarter, Purdue Extensionagricultural economist Chris Hurt said increasescould be on the horizon.

Hurt said he earlier had thought that beef produc-tion would decline by 3 percent for the first half ofthe year and that cattle prices would be in the

$130s by now, but that hasn’t happened.“So far this year, beef supplies have been down

close to 1 percent,” he said. “That means more beefthan we expected, and more beef is certainly one ofthe contributors to lower cattle prices.”

More supply isn’t the only component of the lower-than-expected beef prices. Additional contributorsinclude a weaker U.S. economy, reduced pork and

chicken exports and high retail beef prices.“The weak U.S. economy has many consumers

shopping for value and beef has had higher retailprice increases as compared with competitive animalproteins,” Hurt said. “As an example, retail choicebeef prices have been at record-high levels this year,reaching $5.30 per retail pound in the month ofMarch.” Over the past six months, beef prices haverisen 6 percent more than pork prices, 10 percentmore than turkey, 4 percent more than chicken and 7percent more than eggs.

Higher beef prices for consumers, coupled withlower animal exports — pork exports were down by14 percent in the first two months and chickenexports by 3 percent — have created more competi-tion in the domestic market for beef.

Hurt said continued small supplies of beef for therest of the year suggests a brighter future for cattleprices.

“Last-quarter supplies could drop by 6 to 7 percent,with prices rising into the low $130s,” he said. “First-quarter prices for next year should improve a fewdollars toward the low- to mid-$130s. These forecastsare all higher than current futures prices.”

If crop yields are closer to normal this year andcorn is about $5 a bushel by harvest, those muchlower feed prices will stimulate expansion of all ani-mal species.

Hurt said with lower feed prices and improved pas-ture conditions, cattle producers are expected toretain more heifers. These early stages of herdexpansion will draw the beef supply down even moreand lead to higher cattle prices.

“This all suggests better days ahead for both fin-ished cattle and calf prices,” he said.

Everyone in the beef chain seems toagree we need more of it. That’s the sim-ple explanation for a trend that showshot carcass weights (HCW) haveincreased 200 pounds in four decades.But for all the opportunities that pres-ents, there are many challenges.

John Stika, president of CertifiedAngus Beef LLC, said “the productionside is looking for something bigger tocover their increased costs, but the retailand foodservice sides are looking for(more units of) something much smallerthat’s easier to manage from a portion-control standpoint and a unit-cost stand-point.”

Increasing HCW is like adding manymore finished cattle. Stika noted Cattle-Fax estimates show such increases fromlast November into March have made upfor 256,000 head of cattle.

As the nation’s cow herd keeps fallingback, increasing HCW is good news over-all for beef marketers.

“They would rather have big beef tosell than no beef at all,” Stika said.

CAB data and supporting records fromthe National Beef Quality Audit showthat the market is getting more high-quality beef in that mix, too.

Carcasses accepted for the CAB brandthis year have a 7-pound heavier HCW

than average.“If they gain better, they eat better,

they’re healthier,” Stika said. “Their car-cass weights tend to be up and theirgrades tend to coincide with that.”

Data on more than 2 million head inthe NBQA records indicate cattle with amarbling score of Modest or higher were14 pounds heavier than average.

That’s not a new trend, Stika said. “Butit’s a hot topic right now because we’veseen a more rapid increase in carcassweight than what we’ve historically beenused to.”

From 2008 to 2012, the Angus-influ-enced or A-stamped cattle increased 34pounds, to last year’s 846 pounds.

Economics and genetic improvementare the main drivers.

“If I’m a feedyard operating today at 20percent to 25 percent excess capacity,and I look at the replacement costs ofwhat I have to buy — feeder cattle toreplace a pen of cattle that I ship out —the economics, at times, begin to workrather nicely that I just feed those cattlelonger,” he said.

Many packing plants in an industry at10 percent to 15 percent excess capacityhave tried to increase efficiency byincreasing the upper limit on HCW anddecreased discounts for those just over

the line.In response, the feeding industry more

broadly adopted the use of beta-agonists.Those may decrease marbling scores,Stika said, but the best way to mitigatetheir negative impacts is to feed cattlelonger.

“How are we going to take these cattleonce they’ve hit the plant and add value,or remove the discount that’s associatedwith them today?” he asked.

The industry has already made someadjustments on everything from howmany pieces of meat go in a box to cut-ting methods.

“Retail doesn’t use a lot of forklifts andis heavily dominated by unionized labor,so there are certain limits in terms ofwhat those boxes can weigh,” Stika said.

Down the road, packing plants arelooking at more ways to reduce varia-tion.

“How do we make sure the smallest ribthat we have is not in the same box withthe heaviest rib?” Stika asked. That’s one

common break in boxed beef already,between the largest ribeye areas andthe smallest. It’s not just about the mid-dle meats, he said, and the range inproduct difference continues to grow ascarcasses do. Plant logistics and inven-tory management are the biggest hur-dles to implementation.

So are increasing carcass weights anopportunity or a challenging issue?

“The answer is, it’s reality,” Stika said,“and probably a little of both. It’sallowed us to maintain beef productionlevels with fewer numbers, but theissues we have are real. If we want tocontinue to drive beef demand forward,we’ve got to continue to provide morevalue to our consumer if we’re going toexpect them to pay more for it.”

Stika spoke at this spring’s HarlanRitchie Beef Symposium during Mid-west American Society of Animal Sci-ence meetings in Des Moines.

Eleven to one — those were the oddsthe beef industry was up against fortwo decades.

“We got $10 in new spending overthat 20 years, meanwhile our porkand poultry competitors got $110,”said Nevil Speer, an animal scientistat Western Kentucky University. “You

can’t grow an industry without newrevenue coming in, and we basicallyworked in a stagnant industry for 20years.”

Beef struggled with health percep-tion issues, convenience woes and thechallenge of being the most expensiveprotein in the meat case, he said.

Then, the independent sectororientation began to adjust formutual good. “We began tounderstand that we need towork together in this indus-try,” Speer said.

That lent itself to morebranded programs and supply-chain alliances.

“Today we’re averagingsomewhere around 12 percent to 15percent branded sales on a weeklybasis,” he said. “This push will proba-bly continue in the years ahead.”

As a result, grid and other negotiatedsales make up 75 percent of all fed-cat-tle marketings today.

Part of that also comes fromincreased competition for feeder cattle,and the need to recoup premiums paidon cattle coming into the feedyards.

“They’ve begun to implement moreand more supply management over thelast 10 years, and those are strategicbusiness decisions,” Speer said.

“If we can find cattle that meet someend-user specification and then matchour inputs and do that securely, webegin to kind of distance ourselvesfrom the rivalry of fighting it out in acommodity market.”

That’s not only happening on the cat-tle side of the business, but once it’sprocessed into beef, too.

An estimated two-thirds of retailmarketings are “out front sales,” Speersaid. “They’re not spot sales.

“What’s happening is that we arecontinuing to have more need for effi-ciency of movement, precision, to meetconsumer needs,” he said.

“We need the right cattle, the rightproducts, at the right time and theright place, and that’s ultimatelybecause we want to offer high-quality,highly competitive products with con-

sistent, predictable turnover.”That’s especially important

as beef looks to compete withmuch cheaper alternatives.Beef is running at 240 percentthe price of chicken and 140percent that of pork.

“We’re on the upper edge ofwhere we’ve ever been,” Speersaid. “At what point do con-

sumers begin to push back? I don’tknow; they’ve shown amazingresilience and continue to do so, butthis is a concern.

“Certainly, higher price equalshigher expectations,” he said. Theapparent solution is more teamwork.

“If we can supply high-quality prod-uct on a consistent basis, then we cre-ate demand,” Speer said. “Then thedemand feeds back into the supply andit’s really a network-type of perspec-tive where we create an entire ecosys-tem around a business, and ultimatelywe get new value creation.”

To those who say at some point theindustry will have too much Prime orChoice beef, Speer counters, “if we canover-deliver that in an efficient way,and be more price-competitive with aquality product, I say let’s go. Thatmeans more opportunities in the beefindustry.”

The National Beef Quality Audits,along with numerous other studies,show that meeting consumer demandsets the industry up for success. “Wehave pretty good evidence that as weincrease cooperation and responsive toconsumers, we do a much better job inthis industry.”

Speer presented as part of the HarlanRitchie Beef Symposium during Mid-west American Society of Animal Sci-ence meetings in Des Moines in March.

day’s work. Her calf comesplopping to the ground,shakes his/her head, looksaround and starts the adven-ture of life. Step into yourworld, make yourself knownto those around you and leaveyour mark on the world.

“Stand on your feet as soonas you can, and look around.”

It’s amazing to see animalsborn.They come into the worldmuch like we do,and are stand-ing on their own four feet within

minutes of their birth,wondering at the newworld around them.Christopher Columbuswas surely no less amazed at what he sawthan a newborn calf is.Stand up in thisworld as soon as you can,carry your share ofthe load,and always be aware of what’s

around you.You never know where that cowpath is going to lead you.

“Beller until someone gives you whatyou need.”

You always know when something’sup with the cows. When they’re hungry,you know it. When they don’t likewhat’s happening, you know it. Whenweaning time comes, you know it.Remember that the squeaky wheel getsthe grease — while tempering thatwith the notion that sometimes thesqueaky wheel gets removed, also.

“Be suspicious of strangers.”Watching the cows out in the yard is

an interesting and peaceful thing. Youcan stand there and talk to them (hop-ing that your neighbor hasn’t driven inquietly and brought a video camera toshow the white jacket people) and theyjust stand there, quietly looking at you.Our mothers were right — never talkto strangers. The still waters they leadyou beside could be dangerous.

“Chew on things awhile first.”With four stomachs, cows have a lot

to do just eating. It gives me reason tobelieve that, since it takes so muchtime for cows to actually consume andprocess their food, it should take ussome time to consume and process thethings that we need to think about, too.

Cows savor the eating process; weshould never rush through thinkingabout important things, either.

“Use your tail to swat the annoyingthings away.”

When flies and insects annoy thecow, she keeps that tail close by to useas a weapon of sorts, defending herselfagainst those who would cross her lineof patience. Though many a farm wifehas wished that she had a tail (think-ing it would get her more attentionfrom her farmer husband), we need tolearn to rid ourselves of those peopleand things who bring us down. Swatthem away somehow and move on.

“Stay with the herd.”Cows know it — we should, too. There

is strength in numbers. If one gets out,soon the whole herd will be out. Theyhunker together, always stickingtogether no matter what. Wouldn’t it bea great world if we all carried even thisone piece of advice with us?

“Shout loudly if you become sepa-rated from your babies.”

Weaning time. Enough said. Thisgoes without saying, but it’s true nomatter if this happens accidentally, orwhen your babies move away to col-

TABLE, from pg. 15Alege. Always let your babies knowwhere you are and that you are herefor them, and always, always knowwhere they are.

“Adapt to your environment.”Cows don’t care where they are living

as long as they have food, water andshelter. We can all take a lesson fromthat humble attitude of gratitude. Itdoesn’t matter where you are. Home iswherever (and whatever) you make it.

“Keep your backside to the winds oflife.”

When the world turns colder as fallturns to winter, cows know to stand withtheir backsides to the wind, and to standtogether to stay warm. So when yourworld turns cold in every other sense,turn your back to it so it doesn’t snuff outthe flame from your spirit; keep on walk-ing, and stick with those whom you knowwill be there with you always.

A handful of years ago, our boys’ twoyoung calves got out of their pen at home,and wandered into the corn field next toour farm. My husband chased them for atime and ran out of patience. He came toget me to help, and it was obvious to me

that once they tasted life outside of a pen,they didn’t want to go back. I tried a dif-ferent approach — standing before themboth and gently calling them by name tofollow me. Unbelievably, they did — andwere actually led back into the pen,instead of being chased.

The cow’s last piece of advice: “Alwaysfollow the One who leads you.”

Proper mowing practices play a vitalrole in helping to maintain a healthy, sus-tainable home lawn. Lawn mowing isonly one question horticulturists withIowa State University Extension andOutreach answer about lawn care andhow to have a lawn with the desiredcharacteristics.

How often should I fertilize mylawn?

In Iowa, Kentucky bluegrass lawns canbe fertilized in spring (April or May), mid-September, and late-October/early Novem-ber.The number of fertilizer applications islargely determined by an individual’sdesires or expectations for their lawn.

Three applications of fertilizer (the firstin spring, the second in mid-Septemberand a third in late-October/early Novem-ber) would be appropriate for individualswho want a vigorous, dark green lawn. Asingle application of fertilizer in late-October/early November would be suffi-cient for individuals who prefer minimalfertilization.A moderate fertilization planconsists of an application of fertilizer inmid-September and a second applicationin late-October/early November.

Each application of fertilizer shouldconsist of one pound of actual nitrogenper 1,000 square feet.

When mowing the lawn, what is

the proper mowing height?Kentucky bluegrass lawns should be

mowed at a height of 2 1/2 to 3 inches inthe spring and fall months. Mow blue-grass lawns at a height of 3 to 31/2 inchesin June, July and August. A higher mow-ing height in summer helps to cool thecrowns of the turfgrass plants, encour-ages deeper rooting and provides moreleaf area for photosynthesis during thestressful summer months.

Mowing below the recommended rangemay scalp the turf and cause the turf-grass to deteriorate. Extremely low mow-ing heights decrease the total leaf surfacearea, carbohydrate reserves and rootgrowth, creating a situation where theturfgrass plants are unable to produceenough food to meet their needs. Thismakes the plants more susceptible todrought, high temperature and wearinjury. In addition, the bare areas createdby a decrease in turfgrass densityincrease the likelihood of weed problems.

Mowing too high can also create prob-lems. Mowing above the recommendedrange reduces tillering and causes mat-ting of the grass. Reduced tillering resultsin fewer and coarser plants, while mattedgrass creates a micro-environment thatencourages disease development.

When should I apply a preemer-

gence herbicide to my lawn to con-trol crabgrass?

The keys to successful control of crab-grass in lawns are correct timing of thepreemergence herbicide application andproper application of the material. Pre-emergence herbicides must be appliedbefore the crabgrass seeds germinate. Ifthe material is applied too early, crab-

grass seeds that germinate late in theseason will not be controlled. If appliedtoo late, some crabgrass seeds will havealready germinated.

Preemergence herbicides should nor-mally be applied in early to mid-April insouthern Iowa, mid-April to May 1 in

LAWNS, from pg. 17Acentral Iowa and late-April to early Mayin northern areas of the state. Weatheroften varies considerable from year toyear in Iowa.

Accordingly, gardeners should makeadjustments in the timing of the preemer-gence herbicide application. If the

weather in March and April is cooler thannormal (such as in 2013), apply the pre-emergence herbicide late in the recom-mended time period. Apply the herbicideearly in the recommended time period ifIowa is experiencing a warm early spring.

If you’re still uncertain as to when toapply the preemergence herbicide, Mother

Nature provides some helpful (colorful)clues. Preemergence herbicides should beapplied when the forsythia blossoms startdropping or when redbud trees begin tobloom. Crabgrass seed germination typi-cally begins after these events.

To ensure the herbicide is applied prop-erly, carefully read and follow the labeldirections on the package. Also, makesure the spreader has been correctly cali-brated and is working properly.

Should I apply lime to my lawn?In Iowa, home gardeners should apply

lime to lawns only when recommendedby a soil test. A soil test will indicate thecurrent soil pH and, if necessary, theamount of lime to apply to the area. Thesoil pH is important because it influencesthe availability of essential nutrients.

The pH scale runs from 0 to 14.Any pHbelow 7.0 is acidic and any pH above 7.0is alkaline. A pH of 7.0 indicates a neu-tral soil. The optimum pH range forlawns is between 6.0 and 7.5.

Lime is applied to acidic soils with a pH

below 6.0 to raise the pH into the opti-mum range.

However, an application of lime to analkaline soil can raise the soil pH toexcessively high levels, reducing theavailability of plant nutrients and lead-ing to poor plant growth.

There is no need to apply lime to mostlawns in Iowa as few have a soil pHbelow 6.0. Applying lime to lawns with asoil pH above 7.0 may actually be detri-mental.

Homeowners and gardeners with lawnquestions should contact horticulturistsat Hortline by calling (515) 294-3108 or e-mailing [email protected].

To have additional plant and gardenquestions answered, contact Dennis Carl-son, Franklin County Extension horticul-ture program assistant, (641) 456-4811,[email protected].

When selecting trees and shrubs foryour landscape, always plant sev-eral different species to help pro-tect against invasive species or aninsect or disease infesting anddamaging your plantings.

Properly selected andplaced trees and shrubsin the landscape can offermultiple benefits to bothurban and rural areas. Thesebenefits include producing edible fruit ornuts, saving energy (heating and cool-ing), protection from the wind or snow,increase property value, protect soiland water resources, increase wildlifehabitat, provide living screens andbeautify the land.

Arbor Day — www.arborday.org — is celebrated everyyear on the last Friday inApril, and May is ArborMonth.

University of MinnesotaExtension offers resources tohelp you decide what kind of trees toplant in your region. The Extensionforestry website at www.extension.umn.edu/go/1027has materials which can help you identify trees suit-able for your location.

Minnesota residents must consider planting shadetrees other than ash, since emerald ash borer wasfound in the state in 2009. Log on to Extension’sEAB website at www.extension.umn.edu/issues/eabto learn more about EAB and alternative shadetrees.

Shade tree species to consider in rural or urbanareas include ginkgo, hackberry, American linden or

basswood, sugar maple (FallFiesta), Freeman maple (SiennaGlen, Autumn Blaze), red maple

(Northwood) and disease-resistant elms (Discoveryand Princeton). Residents

can plant trees that pro-duce nuts and pods to add

diversity, but they need toconsider debris or maintenance inthese areas.

Trees that produce nuts includeOhio buckeye (Autumn Splendor),shagbark hickory, bitternut hickory,bur oak, white oak, bicolor or swamp

white oak, and black walnut (caninhibit some plants from growingnear it).

Trees that produce pods arenorthern catalpa, Kentucky cof-feetree (podless cultivarStately Manor), honey locust

(podless cultivars are Shade-master and Sunburst).

According to the U.S. Department ofAgriculture, “one acre of forest absorbs six tons ofcarbon dioxide and produces four tons of oxygen.This is enough to meet the annual needs of 18 peo-

ple.”Before planting, call Gopher State One Call at

(800) 252-1166 to identify where underground utili-ties might be. For windbreak planting fact sheet, logon to www.extension.umn.edu/agroforestry.

Remember landscape diversity by planting sev-eral different species of trees, shrubs and plants inyour landscape. No one species should representmore than 15 percent of your landscape.

Make it a family activity to plant trees or shrubsthis year. You can pass on the benefits of trees whenyou explain them to your children.

I think we are far enough intoMay so I can’t jinx us by sayingspring is here. Wow! Didn’tthat seem like a long winter?

As we enter the outdoorgrilling and BBQ season, Ithought I would compile a“Top 10 List” of things to getdone to optimize this year.Why 10? TV host David Letter-man does it and he seems to dofine it, so here goes.

1. Do not think of the outdoorcooking season as Memorial Daythrough Labor Day. Start cooking out-doors this weekend and make a com-mitment to keep the momentum upright through the holidays, and when Isay “holidays,” I am referring toThanksgiving and Christmas.

2. Take an objective look at yourgrilling equipment. Do you use a kitchenfork and a plastic Teflon spatula whenyou are cooking outdoors? If so, that’ssimply disturbing. Commit to some qual-

ity grilling utensils made of steel.All you really need is a nice spat-ula and a good set of tongs.

3. Commit to trying some dif-ferent dishes this year. When

the average person thinksof grilling, they envision hotdogs, hamburgers, steak

and chicken. While those aredelicious, try grilling vegeta-

bles. Or how about slow smok-ing a pork butt? Ever tried beercan chicken? Make 2013 your

year to stretch your skills.4. Use charcoal. I know, I know. Tex

(my neighbor) gets frustrated thatmost of my columns deal with realcharcoal grilling. I also have a gas grill,and I certainly appreciate its conven-ience on certain nights. But please, Ibeg of thee. Break out a real charcoalgrill occasionally on the weekends.

5. Involve family and friends in theoutdoor cooking process. The social sideof outdoor cooking is almost as impor-

tant as the end result. I would ask thatyou commit to involving your kids orgrandkids. Pass on the legacy and artof outdoor grilling and barbecue.

6. Cut it thick. If you are going togrill pork chops and steaks this year,make a commitment to talk to thebutcher and order them properly. Don’tbuy the family pack that is so thin youcan almost read a newspaper throughthe cuts of meat. Get the steaks andchops cut to at least one inch thick, andbuy them “bone in.” Too thick? Hey, youdon’t have to eat the entire steak orchop. Split it with someone. This isn’trocket science.

7. Set aside one weekend each monthto master the art of indirect grilling andsmoking. This takes time, but the endresult is absolutely delicious. Use thisset up to make pulled pork or ribs. Also,this is helpful when cooling those one-inch plus sized chops and steaks.

8. Experiment and make your ownrubs and sauces. Google it. It’s easy

and you control the flavors.9. Diversify your charcoal and

woods. If you commit to occasionallyusing charcoal, experiment with dif-ferent charcoals and different woods.Apple, hickory, mesquite and pecanare great woods to start with.

10. Simply put, read. Obviously youare reading this column, and by theway, thank you for that.

But in addition to this piece, thereare great books out there on the topicsof grilling, smoking and making fan-tastic barbecue. It’s great readingmaterial.

I wish you the very best grilling season.And again, it starts right now and contin-ues ’til Christmas.Yep, I’m serious!

We all know that our teeth are impor-tant. We even visit our dentist regularlyto have teeth cleanings and oral exams.Keeping our teeth clean is vital to ourhealth and well-being, and that is no dif-ferent for our pets.

“Ideally, you should brush your pet’steeth daily,” said Johnathon Dodd, clinicalprofessor at Texas A&M’s College of Vet-erinary Medicine & Biomedical Sci-ences. “Make sure you are using specialtoothpaste that is made for pets and issafe for them to swallow. They cannotspit or rinse like we do, so our pets needspecific kinds of toothpaste that is notharmful if ingested.”

Having your pet’s teeth inspected and cleaned is animportant responsibility many owners overlook. Thisseemingly slight slip of your pet’s dental care couldbe causing serious problems in your pet’s mouth.

Gum disease is the most common disease occurringin pets today. It results from the build-up of soft den-tal plaque on the surfaces of the teeth around thegums. The bacteria in dental plaque irritate the gumtissue if it accumulates, which leads to infection inthe bone surrounding the teeth.

After plaque has formed hard dental tartar, cal-cium salts from saliva that has been deposited onplaque, begins to grow. If the surface of the toothdoes not stay clean, tartar begins to form within afew days.

The un-brushed tooth provides a surface thatboosts further plaque accumulation. If plague isallowed to accumulate, tartar is difficult to removewithout dental instruments.

For our pets, gum disease means bad breath andpainful, irritated gums that can lead to bleeding, lossof appetite and the loss of teeth if the roots havebeen affected.

There is also the possibility that if the bacteria sur-rounding the root of the tooth gains access to thebloodstream, it can lead to microscopic damage of theheart, liver and kidney. As the severity of the gumdisease increases, so does the damage.

The best way to ward off potential oraldisease in your pet is by keeping yourpet’s teeth clean and checkups regular.

Your veterinarian and local pet retailstores should carry toothbrushes and tooth-

paste for your pets. Different flavors of toothpastesare available for dog and cats.

“Your pet needs to get their teeth cleaned yearly,”Dodd said. “Most veterinary clinics should offer den-tal cleaning services, but if they do not they can referyou to someone who does.”

To help ward off gum diseases and bad breath,there are products you can feed your pet that helpimprove and promote oral health.

“There are certain dog treats that help promotegood dental health,” Dodd said. “The right kind oftreat should crumble, be easily crushed and containchlorhexadine or a hydrogen peroxide-type additive

that can help with the bacte-ria count in the animal’smouth. Balancing this bacte-ria count can help preventand get rid of bad breath.”

A helpful guide to go bywhen considering your pets’oral health is the VeterinaryOral Health Council website.They have list of products

that are intended to help reduce the buildup ofplaque and tartar on the teeth of animals and havecreated the VOHC seal of approval. To see the fulllist of VOHC approved products, log on towww.vohc.org.

Brushing your pet’s teeth, taking them for ayearly visit to the dentist and giving them VOHC-approved products are all ways that you can helpmake sure your pet has a clean and healthy mouth.

AAn interesting piece of history will come to anend this year when Ihlen’s “Post Office on thePorch” closes. That’s not its official name, of

course. Officially, it is the Ihlen, Minn., CommunityPost Office, which is a post office housed in a commer-cial enterprise.

Joyce Rodman becamepostmaster 35 years agowhen she and her hus-band, Bruce, purchased thetown’s grocery store wherethe post office was located.When they closed the storein the early 1980s, theyenclosed the front porch oftheir house and moved thepost office boxes there.

For 30 years the Rodmanfront porch has seen peoplecome and go from 8 a.m. until5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to noon onSaturday, to pick up mail and get other postal service.Thedifference is the extra mile the postmaster goes to.

The Rodman grocery store was where men wouldgather for morning coffee with Bruce. Joyce welcomedthem to continue having their coffee in her kitchen.She bakes treats and each morning makes coffee.Even after Bruce died in 2005 a group of men hasfaithfully continued to come, pick up their mail, andwalk through the living room to have coffee aroundher kitchen table.

“I told the men they could continue to come for cof-fee, even after the post office closes,” Joyce said.

Ihlen’s population is well below 100, yet there arestill about 40 active mail boxes, so Joyce was reluctantto close. But she is 82 years old and, after receivingtreatment for cancer, was persuaded by her six daugh-ters that she needed to take more time to spend withfamily while she still feels good. In January she sub-mitted a letter to terminate her contract with the U.S.Postal Service. It may be a few months while theydecide how to provide mail service to Ihlen residents,but the day will come when the Rodman porch is nolonger a post office.

You would think it would wear on a person, havingpeople coming and going at your home six days aweek, not being able to go away without finding some-one to fill in. (And all of that for a paycheck that aver-ages out about $2 an hour with no benefits.) No doubtit was inconvenient at times, but that’s not what it’sabout to Joyce. It’s about serving people and the com-munity.

“I’m going to miss seeing the people,” she said. ❖

Grain Angles What to do while you

wait for plantingWhen most ordinary people think of May, they

think of May flowers and Mother’s Day.For farmers, May is a month of action. Usually,

final tillage is done, along with fertilizer application,planting and chemical application. This year, MotherNature is again showing us thatweather is out of our control.When planting conditions get dif-ficult and the majority of seed isstill in the bag, it’s natural forour stress levels to rise.

Even if your equipment is readyto roll, there are still plenty of otherthings to do while Mother Naturetakes center stage.

Be prepared — Preparationwill be the key to working quicklyand efficiently when the weatherconditions improve. Having sev-eral sets of detailed farm mapsprepared will let your employees, custom applicatorsand even your spouse know exactly what you areplanning with each of your fields. The maps willmake communication much easier and could avoidcostly mistakes in a condensed planting season.

Also, you might want to think about including an addi-tional contact sheet with the names and telephone num-bers of your key suppliers, including your fertilizer andchemical suppliers, agronomist, custom applicators oroperators, parts suppliers, custom accounts you maywork with and, of course, your crop insurance agent.Make sure these contacts are also entered into your cellphone, fax machine and e-mail, to save everyone timewhen Mother Nature changes her mind.

Communicate — Sometimes, we take it for granted

Grain OutlookWeather is king,

period!The following market analysis is for the week end-

ing May 3.CORN — Corn burst into the week with a 40-cent

limit up day on forecasts for a wet, cold week acrossthe Corn Belt.

However, by midweek we hadgiven back about half of theweek’s gains as the marketsearched for the next round ofbuying. July corn partially filledthe gap left from the March 28U.S. Department of Agriculturereports, leaving the upside gap at$6.69 to $6.76. On the other end inJuly corn there’s a new gap from$6.24 1/2 to $6.25 from April 29.The gaps will act as bookends forthe near-term range.

Weather is king, period.Anyone is more than willing to give you their interpre-

tation of the forecast and its effects on prospective yield,but in the end Mother Nature will do what she wants.

Corn planting was only 5 percent complete as ofMay 28 compared to the 31 percent average. For theweek ending May 5, the guess is that less than 15percent of the planting has been completed. Theaverage for the week ending May 5 (or close) is 47percent. The trade is already looking down the roadwith the likelihood that we’ll fall further behindbefore we see any catch up. The average plantingprogress for May 12 is 66 percent and at best tradersare eyeing only 25 percent to 30 percent to be done.

American farmers can get the crop in quickly, but ifwe’re searching for which field is dry enough, we

Livestock AnglesDiscrepancies

between cash, futuresThe first week in May has brought some interest-

ing developments in the livestock markets. Themajor thing that is happening, and is evident, is thediscrepancies in the cash market prices of both cattleand hogs to the futures market prices.

Cash cattle prices have advancedover the past several weeks underfair packer accumulation. Priceshave reached as high as $131 perhundredweight basis the Midwest,while the June cattle futures haveslipped to nearly a $10/cwt. dis-count to the high end live pricepaid. This is an abnormally highdiscount for this time of the yearand has the trade wondering whythe futures are moving in onedirection and cash in the otherdirection.

It appears that a deterioratingdemand for beef would be the likely cause to this situa-tion; also the fact that the commodity and hedge fundswere large longs in the futures and seem to be liquidat-ing their positions. Since last fall the movement ofboxed beef has been on a steady decline as othersources of protein and meat have been a less expensivesource to the consumer, particularly domestic.

Weather may have also played somewhat of a role,as the cooler spring has delayed the grilling season.However as disposable income decreases, the con-sumer is becoming more price-conscious of theirspendable income. All of this despite the fact thatthere are fewer cattle on feed, which many thinkshould force the price higher.

The fact is the supply is more inelastic than

NYSTROM, from pg. 1Bprobably won’t see weekly recordsfor planting. The trade is alreadychattering about 1 million to 2 million corn acresswitching to soybeans. The USDA’s trendline cornyield at the February Outlook Confer-ence was 163.6 bushels per acre. Dueto the delayed planting this year it ispresumed that early yield forecastscould be decreased at least 2 bu./acrefrom that trendline.

Why did old crop corn reactmore violently to the weatherthan new crop? As old cropstocks tighten and new cropbushel availability is pushedfurther out on the calendar,the old crop stocks becomemore highly prized also.Last year we needed newcrop bushels in August-to-September to make itthrough the year.

Weekly export sales onceagain kept pace on a weeklybasis to fulfill the USDA’s 800million export projection. Saleswere 13 million bushels for old crop and25.8 million for new crop. We need 12million per week to hit the USDA number and wehave achieved that for three weeks in a row.Ethanol production for the week was the highestthus far in the marketing year at 857,000 barrelsper day. Weekly ethanol production is running at anannualized grind of 4.575 billion bushels of corn

compared to the USDA’s 4.55 billionbushels.Worth a mention, the hard red win-

ter wheat tour was conducted this week acrossKansas. The tour estimated Kansas yield at 41.1

bu./acre compared to the tour’s numberlast year of 41.2 bu./acre and theirfive-year average of 42.3 bu./acre.The actual yield in 2012 was 42.0bu./acre. Production was forecast at

313.1 million bushels versus thetour’s five-year average of 341.3

million bushels and versus2012 actual production of

382.2 million bushels.Informa Economics

updated their wheat projec-tions on May 3; all winter

production is projected at1.529 billion bushels, down

52 million from their last fig-ure. The breakdown is as fol-

lows: HRW, 798 million, softred wheat, 508 million andwhite wheat at 222 millionbushels.

OUTLOOK: As mentioned above,the gaps left in the July corn contract

will act as near-term support and resistance.As go actual weather and weather forecasts, so willthe markets. Will the benefits of recharging the soiloutweigh any effect of later planting? July cornsoared 41 1/2 cents higher to $6.61 1/4 for the weekwhile December rose 29 1/2 cents to $5.53 1/2 perbushel. For April, corn was down 1.7 percent ofvalue, but year-to-date it is 2.4 percent higher.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans marched along withcorn for general direction this week, but didn’t leaveany gaps on the charts for benchmarking.

Basis levels are firm as growers show little interestin marketing remaining supplies. There was a reportthat a bean crusher in Indiana rolled bids to theNovember contract this week. The first bean plant-ing progress report is expected on May 6 withtraders looking for a 1 percent completion number. Ashadow hanging over the soybean market was alower than expected Purchasing Managers’ Indexout of China indicating slower growth. Their PMI fellfrom 50.9 to 50.6.

China was actively canceling old crop bean pur-chases this week as weekly old crop sales were netnegative 4 million bushels. Even with the cancella-tions, old crop sales commitments equate to 99 per-cent of the USDA export forecast. Only 5.1 millionbushels are needed per week to reach the USDA fig-ure. However, new crop sales were impressive at 49.3million bushels.

Meal sales continue to lead the charge with 93,300metric tons old crop and 55,700 mt for new crop.There were no meal or soybean deliveries this weekagainst the May contract as cash is better thandelivery. There has been speculation that SouthAmerican beans will make their way into the UnitedStates this summer. While it may work on paper, thetiming may be difficult. Could they arrive in time tobe useful? And if they make it, what about logis-tics/cost to move them where they are really neededto be crushed?

OUTLOOK: Soybeans struggled this week withnegative economic news from China and possibleacreage switching due to delayed planting playingagainst strong basis levels and slower grower sales.

First resistance will be this week’s high at $14.233/4, then $14.36 1/4 per bushel. The first line of sup-port is a trendline near $13.70, then $13.40 perbushel. Direction will be dictated by nearby weatherforecasts and domestic demand. For the week, Julybeans were up 6 1/4 cents at $13.87 1/4 and theNovember contract gained 11 cents to $12.21 1/4 perbushel. For April, beans were up 4.5 percent.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week end-ing May 3: Minneapolis wheat gained 14 1/2 cents,Chicago jumped 28 1/2 cents higher and KansasCity was 27 1/2 cents higher. June crude oil was$2.61 higher at $95.61, heating oil managed a 1 3/4cent gain, gasoline fell 1/4 cent and natural gasdropped 18 1/4 cents.

The U.S. dollar index was down 0.362 ticks. TheDow surpassed 15,000 for the first time on May 3after unemployment fell from 7.6 percent to 7.5 per-cent, the lowest level since 2008. The USDA May 10report includes the first balance sheets for the 2013-14 crop year.

TEALE, from pg. 1Bdemand, which is the greater influence on the deter-mination of the price of any commodity. Which bringsout the old adage: The cure for high prices is highprices. Producers should keep aware of market condi-tions and use common sense when to protect invento-ries and when to market.

The hog market has seen good improvement overthe past several weeks as seasonal strength haskicked in. Most of this strength has been developedby the increase in demand for pork over that period.Cutouts have advanced to levels not seen for months,and this has allowed packers to be more aggressive

in the acquisition of live inventory.As a result cash hog prices have moved to higher

levels not seen in months with the futures leadingthe advance. In contrast to the cattle futures, hogfutures are carrying a fairly large premium to thecash at the present time, reflecting a good demandfor pork products.

This is not unusual at this time of the year for thehog market. The caveat here is that from a seasonalstandpoint the market normally peaks in the latespring to early summer. This should alert producersto use the premiums to their advantage and protectinventories as warranted. ❖

Cash hogs move higher, following futures

No crop has more value to the livestock farmer thandoes alfalfa, if it is fed to livestock before it is marketed.

Since all livestock is limited by certain amount ofpounds consumed per day, the quality of the forage hasa direct effect upon the weight and quality of grain andmilk. Therefore, every pound that is fed has a value,which far exceeds the value of the weight. When deter-mining a feed analysis, the percent protein, the percentdigestible energy and the nutrient content are the mostimportant factors that are measured.

Since alfalfa is primarily grown and harvested dur-ing the period which precedes the budding and seedformation, it is a rather simple crop to understand andless complicated to manipulate during the growingperiod before the plant is harvested. It is much lesscomplicated than managing crops that grow throughits reproductive stage and ripening stage. One hasfewer problems managing the alfalfa crop duringstress conditions. Yet, stress can have detrimentaleffects upon not only the yield of alfalfa plants, but alsothe quality as it relates to feeding value.

Seed treatmentAlfalfa is normally planted into a cover crop that

serves as a refuge for the early germination andgrowth of the alfalfa plant. After the cover crop hasbeen harvested or cut, the residue of the cover crop isreturned to the soil that then becomes organic mat-ter and feeds the present crop that is being grown.

If alfalfa is planted into a field that has not previ-ously been devoted for alfalfa production, it is neces-sary that the seed be inoculated with bacteria thatwill form nitrogen-fixing modules on the plant. Evenif the field has been growing alfalfa in the past,many people feel that it is still important to put inoc-ulants on alfalfa seed before planting.

Alfalfa seed should be treated or seed coated with 2ounces of Seed Power per hundredweight of seedbefore planting. Seed Power is a liquid compoundwhich will trigger the alfalfa seed out of dormancyand direct the sugar movement toward the roots ofthe young germinating plant, rather than toward themesocotyl growth that appears from the seed. This is

important. It triggers a hybrid vigor in the plant,which will last the rest of the plant’s life. It wouldbe analogous to seed planting.

The seed should be planted in soil, as is the nor-mal practice for the area and under the conditionswhich alfalfa is normally seeded. Be sure that theseed treatment is applied with any other chemicalthat is desired for seed treatment before planting.Early growth period

During the early period of growth when the youngalfalfa plant reaches approximately three or fourinches in height, foliar apply Bio-Forge — a liquid prod-uct recommended as an antioxidant treatment. Thisremoves the stress from the young plant and enables itto change its phytohormone pattern so that more nod-ules and larger roots will be generated under the youngplant so that it can synthesize more nitrogen for plantgrowth and obtain more rapid exposure to the soilnutrients as the plant roots will more quickly expandand contact more of the nutrients in the soil.First cutting

If alfalfa is cut or harvested for hay or silage during itsfirst year of growth after seeding, foliar spray 8 ouncesper acre of More Power plus 4 ounces per acre of Stoller’sForce directly onto the plant approximately 14 daysbefore harvest. More Power and Force are both liquidproducts, which will encourage more rapid growth andmore rapid sugar accumulation in the plant before har-vest.These treatments will not only increase yields but itwill also increase the quality of the forage that is to beharvested. More Power will increase the energy level inthe plant to obtain more rapid cell division and cell sizing;this results in heavier plant weight. Stoller’s Force willincrease the rate of photosynthesis and move the sugarsfrom the leaves into the storage tissues of the stems.Thiswill result in larger leaves and stems and higher nutri-tional value.

WACHTLER, from pg. 1Bthat everyone around us isaware of the stress we are expe-riencing and the increased demand on our time andworkload that will be required because of the condi-tions. A great way to relieve some of the stress and alsoimprove communication and attitudes of those aroundyou is to have a quick meeting to communicate yourworkload expectations and your strategy for workingthrough the challenging planting season.

Include your employees, family members and anyother key people to your operation in the meeting.Make sure to plan for any scheduling or work con-flicts that employees or family may have during theplanting season well in advance in order to avoidunnecessary stress down the road.

Have a plan — Develop a contingency plan in caseplanting delays persist. In the business world, thebest CEOs had contingency plans at the end of lastyear for the drastic budget cuts, tax hikes and lack ofgovernment services that could have been imple-mented in 2013.

In the Upper Midwest, May 25 is typical for consid-ering the move to shorter maturing hybrids. Identifywhich fields would most likely need the switch andcalculate how much seed would be needed if theswitch would be made. This will save time and effortlater in the season when you may be in the fieldplanting and decide to make the change.

Note important dates — In most of Minnesota, thefinal day to plant corn during the regular crop insur-ance period is May 31 (May 25 in some of the far north-ern counties of Minnesota and Wisconsin). The finalplant date for soybeans is June 10. After those dates,you may still plant, but your crop insurance guaranteeis reduced by 1 percent per day after that final date.

If you choose to file a prevent plant claim on yourcrop insurance it must be filed within 72 hours of thefinal plant date for each specific crop. A claim for pre-vent plant, if approved, would pay 60 percent of your

insurance guarantee.Many factors need to be weighed when

choosing to switch maturities, intended corn orsoybean acres and filing prevent plant options. Aspreadsheet or online application is usually worththe effort when considering your options. Make sureto talk to your crop insurance agent as the deadlineto plant approaches.

Look ahead — Finally, don’t forget about your dry-ing fuel and extra resources needed for this fall.Mother Nature has a strange sense of humor and ourlate spring might mean harvest will have its own setof challenges. Remember to put your action plan inplace now and reduce your stress during the entireseason.

ALFALFA, from pg 3BAnnual growth habits of the alfalfa plant

When the alfalfa plant comes out of dormancy in thespring, the energy reserves (carbohydrates or sugars)are moved upward from the roots into the developingstem and leaf tissue. The stored energy from the rootshas been accumulated from previous vegetativegrowth before the plant went into dormancy in the fall.This is why late harvesting of plants should be avoided— before frost the plants need to accumulate energyand store in the roots, so that the young plant will haveenergy for regrowth during the following spring periodbefore the plant has leaves, and the soil temperature iswarm enough for new root growth.

The alfalfa plant gets its energy from two sources.The primary source is from photosynthesis, where car-bon dioxide is taken into the plant leaves and com-bined with hydrogen and oxygen from the water con-tained in the plant cells. It is in the plant cells of thegreen leaves where photosynthesis occurs and the car-bon is combined with hydrogen and oxygen in order toform sugars (carbohydrates). These sugars are the pri-mary source of energy for plant growth.

The other source of energy available for plantgrowth has not generally been recognized. It is thecarbon compounds that are provided to the plantroots. These carbon compounds are obtained fromthe organic matter in the soil (particularly theresidue from previous crops) that is decomposed bysoil bacteria, so that the energy is released for plantroots to absorb. Most of the energy absorbed by thesoil is contained in the plant roots and available forstored energy to be used by the growing plant,where the upper part of the plant needs additionalenergy for growth. In other words, the soil-suppliedenergy is a supplement to the energy that is pro-vided by photosynthesis. Although this is consid-ered a secondary source of energy, it is important.

It is also important to note that the second harvestof an alfalfa crop is still at a high level. As the third,fourth and possibly fifth cuttings occur, the yieldsper acre per harvest tend to decrease.

Normally speaking, the climatic conditions (rainfalland higher temperatures) will not enable the plant tocarry on the maximum rate of photosynthesis in orderto provide additional energy that culminates in higherplant yields. Perhaps more importantly, the organicmatter release by the bacteria and the soil greatlydecreases as the season progresses.

Soil bacteria decompose the organic matter, which ismost readily converted to energy. This is the organicmatter of plant residue that is more easily digestible tothe soil bacteria so that they can more greatly prosperand release more energy for plant growth.As the seasonprogresses, the more digestible organic matter hasalready been processed by the bacteria. Throughout therest of the season, the organic matter available to thesoil bacteria is much less digestible and the activity ofthe bacteria decreases throughout the growing season.This is common for all plants.

At this point it is important to realize that thehighest yield of alfalfa occur on soils that have beenplanted in rotation with plants that are high con-sumers of nitrogen. These are normally monocotyle-don plants. The residue from the monocotyledonplants, which is returned to the soil, contains moredigestible organic matter than those plants, whichdo not return as much organic matter to the soilafter harvest. Plants that are completely removed atharvest return little organic matter. Therefore, thesoil provides much less source of energy than couldbe supplied if the organic matter was left in thefields incorporating the surface area of the soil.

Since alfalfa plants are normally left in the fieldfor a period of two or more years, and they are har-vested with organic matter completely removed from

the acre each year, little organic matter is returnedto the soil to form an additional source of energy forthe following year’s crops.

This is probably an important reason why alfalfayields tend to decrease every year that they are carriedin rotation and their return crop is being harvested.Theenergy supplied from the soil is never as great as it isduring the preceding year. Over a period of years thealfalfa plants become weaker. Grass tends to take overthe position of the alfalfa plant so they are crowded outby plants that require much less energy than doesalfalfa. This is an important reason why the populationof alfalfa plants decreases as a number of years progressin the alfalfa return cycle.Treatment of plant after harvest

Immediately after harvesting the alfalfa plant, it isimportant to apply More Power and Stoller’s Forcedirectly to the crown of the plant as soon as possible.This is easy to accomplish if alfalfa is harvested forsilage. If alfalfa is harvested for hay, the hay must beremoved from the field before the young alfalfa cropscan be drenched with the foliar spray.

The immediate application of More Power and Forcewill cause the alfalfa plant to break more buds in thecrown and cause more stems to appear per plant. Thismerely changes the crown’s hormonal balance so that itproduces more energy, and turns vegetative buds (pro-motion of present stems) toward reproductive budswhich cause an additional number of stems. This hap-pens quickly and is dramatic. One can notice the num-ber of new buds formed in the alfalfa crown within fourto five days after application.

In addition to forming more buds in the crown, thealfalfa plant will be encouraged to maintain moreactive nodules and more active root growth. Thisincreases both the supply of nitrogen and supply ofcell nutrients for the maintenance of greater alfalfaproductivity.

More Power should be applied at the rate of 8 ouncesper acre and Stoller’s Force at the rate of 4 ounces peracre and enough water to thoroughly wet the alfalfacrown and allow some water to drench the soil besidethe crown. Applying 10 gallons per acre should be theminimum amount of water used. Preferably, 20 gallonsper acre should be applied for this use of the crowndrench. The more water that can be applied, the morerapid and through will be the result.

If additional nutrients — such as boron or phosphateare needed — these nutrients can be mixed in the sameapplication and applied during the same applicationprocess. It is important that this young plant has ade-quate phosphate in order to convert the energy intoaccelerated plant growth. It is important to promote theplant during the first 14 days after cutting.This is whenplant growth is at its lowest level. Additional plantgrowth during the first 14 days after cutting will resultin significant yield increases during the 28-day period ofgrowth before the next harvest.

MIELKE, from pg. 5Bcents above a year ago, but 18 cents below the blocks.FC Stone’s April 30 eDairy Insider Opening Bellreported that a spread of 32 cents occurred in July 2008.

Seven carloads of block traded hands this weekand 26 of barrel. The lagging AMS-surveyed U.S.average block price hit $1.8154, up 5.4 cents. Barrelsaveraged $1.7764, up 5.5 cents.

Increased milk production in the Midwest continuesto translate into increased cheese inventories, accordingto the USDA’s April 26 Dairy Market News. Cheese pro-duction across the rest of the country was also activewith manufacturers sending milk to cheese plants inlight of good sales. The DMN adds that block cheesesupplies were not felt to be burdensome, but someheavier supplies of barrels are weighing on the market.The effects of the spring flush appear to have buyerswaiting to see where the market settles.

Cash butter closed at $1.65, down 4 cents on theweek but 34 cents above a year ago when butterdropped a nickel, hitting the low point for the year at$1.31. Fourteen cars were sold this week. AMS but-ter averaged $1.7226, up 2.8 cents.

Cream is readily available in the West, according tothe DMN, so butter churns continue to operate heavyschedules. Increased demand from ice cream manufac-turers for cream is not slowing butter production sig-nificantly. Cream supplies in the Northeast are moreplentiful because milk production is increasing withthe spring flush. Butter production has increased asmanufacturers deal with expanding volumes of cream.

West and Northeast churns are content to buildinventories for later in the year, according to theDMN. Several Central churns were actively churn-ing to meet export contracts even though domesticinterest is slower, but several operators indicate theyare unwilling to compete for spot cream at this time.Northeast bulk butter prices continue to be sup-ported by export sales.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk slipped a penny anda quarter on Friday to close the week at $1.7475.Extra Grade held all week at $1.70. AMS powderaveraged $1.6015, up 5.4 cents, and dry whey aver-aged 56.50 cents, down 1.2 cents.

March butter production hit 184 million pounds,according to the USDA’s latest Dairy Productsreport, up 5.6 percent from February and 4.2 percentabove March 2012. Nonfat dry milk output, at 146million pounds, was up 6.1 percent from Februarybut down 22.8 percent from a year ago.

American-type cheese production, at 384 millionpounds, was up 10.6 percent from February and just1.4 percent above a year ago. Italian output, at 416million, was up 15.2 percent from February and 1.3percent above a year ago. Total cheese production hit954 million pounds, up 11.5 percent from Februaryand just 0.2 percent above a year ago.

MIELKE, from pg. 6BFC Stone’s May 3 eDairy Insider

Opening Bell adds that whey stocks rose11.8 percent from February. “The outlookfor whey is bearish,” the Bell said, “neu-tral for butter and nonfat dry milk, andslightly bearish for cheese.”

Fluid milk supplies in the United Statesare mostly steady overall, according to theUSDA’s weekly update.The Southern tierof states is at or moving past spring flushvolumes. Hot weather in Florida is cred-

ited with slowing milk production season-ally.Arizona levels are holding at peakproduction.The spring flush has arrivedin the Northeast and mid-Atlantic. Mid-west milk supplies are mostly steady withrecent volumes and still building for theirflush. Increased production in the regionis sending increased volumes of milk tocheese plants.

California milk production remainsbelow year-ago levels.Year-to-date poolreceipts (adjusted) for California are 5.3

percent below year-ago levels while milksupplies in the Pacific Northwest areslowly building as warmer days arrive.Manufacturers across the Northern statesare preparing for spring flush volumes.

<< MILKER’S MESSAGE >>

MIELKE, from pg. 7Bmanaging partner at Ceres Dairy RiskManagement LLC in Seattle and ananalyst for the Daily Dairy Report inthe April 26 “Daily Dairy Discussion”on the DDR website. She was talkingabout global milk supplies andpointed out that, first quarter lastyear, milk production in the five majordairy exporting regions was up 3 per-cent from the same period in 2011.

This year, the DDR estimates thatmilk production in those regions hasdecreased by nearly 1.5 billionpounds, or 1 percent, versus 2012’srecord levels. This reversal of milksupply has sent milk and dairy prod-uct prices higher, leaving both buyersand sellers to ask what will theremainder of 2013 bring? Listen toDorland’s complete report on the DDRwebsite.

■

Cooperatives Working Together

accepted eight requests for exportassistance this week to sell 925,942pounds of cheese and 1.1 millionpounds of butter to customers in Asiaand North Africa. The product will bedelivered through October and raisedthe CWT’s 2013 cheese exports to 51million pounds, 51.7 million pounds ofbutter, 44,092 pounds of anhydrousmilk fat and 218,258 pounds of wholemilk powder to 31 countries.

Prices retreated from near-recordhighs at this week’s Global Dairy Tradeauction. However, after steadilyincreasing for months, auction pricesremain strong, the DDR said. Theweighted-average price of all tradedproducts fell 7.3 percent, the firstdecline since Dec. 4. Only Cheddarprices moved higher, advancing 3.4 per-cent to $2.18/lb.

Whole milk powder prices posted thelargest decline, falling 10.2 percent to anaverage $2.14/lb. Skim milk powderdropped 9.5 percent to $1.94. Prices for

all products excluding Cheddar werelower in every contract month, accordingto the DDR, and “contracts for Augustand September delivery were particu-larly weak, suggesting that, for the timebeing, concerns about availability ofdairy products this fall have lessened.”

DairyBusiness Update reports thathigher milk prices combined with lowerfeed prices to raise the preliminaryApril 2013 milk-feed price ratio. At1.56, the index is up from 1.48 in March2013 and 1.41 in April 2012. The AprilU.S. average milk price is estimated at$19.30/cwt., up 20 cents from March.Corn prices averaged $6.67 per bushel,down 46 cents; soybeans averaged$14.20/bu., down 40 cents; and dryalfalfa hay averaged $210 per ton, down$9 and the lowest since September.DBU adds that April marked the 25thconsecutive month the milk-feed priceratio is below 2.0.

With the April 30 Ag Prices reportproviding the final feed cost adjuster,

the USDA announced the March MilkIncome Loss Contract payment at75.456 cents/cwt. MILC payments wereabout 52 cents/cwt. in February andabout 12 cents in January.

■

Legislation recently introduced in theHouse by Reps. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va.,and David Scott, D-Ga., got anotherthumbs ups, this time from dairy pro-ducers in Pennsylvania, New York andOhio, members of the Dairy PolicyAction Coalition.

A DPAC press release said the billwould “offer dairy farmers a new milkinsurance package almost identical to theDairy Security Act included in failed farmbill attempts but without a controversialmilk supply management program.”

Just in time for the busy summertravel season and Minnesota MuseumsMonth in May, the Minnesota Associa-tion of Museums and the MinnesotaHistorical Society are launching a freeMinnesota Museums app that willdirect users to the more than 500museums statewide.

“We are so fortunate in Minnesota tohave such a wide variety of museumsacross the whole state,” said Lin Nel-son-Mayson, chair of the MinnesotaAssociation of Museums and director ofGoldstein Museum of Design. “Thisnew app makes it easier than ever tofind those resources.”

The app, available May 1 for iOS andAndroid, allows users to browse Min-nesota museums by name, category orlocation. Users can create an itinerary,check off museums they’ve visited andupload favorite museum photos. Theapp will also suggest museums basedon geographic location. For more infor-mation and to download the app, log onto www.minnesotamuseums.org/app.

“The Minnesota Museums app is alsoa great discovery tool for museum-goers. If you’re visiting one museum,

the app will suggest others in the area— museums you may never have heardof,” said Jada Hansen, Minnesota Asso-ciation of Museums Development co-chair and executive director of theHennepin History Museum.

The Minnesota Museums app wasdeveloped through a partnershipbetween the Minnesota Association ofMuseums and the Minnesota Histori-cal Society.

The Minnesota Museums app ismade possible by the Legacy Amend-ment’s Arts and Cultural HeritageFund through the vote of Minnesotanson Nov. 4, 2008.May is Minnesota Museums Month

Minnesota Museums Month is astatewide celebration of museums,their stories and their communities.This May, visit a new museum in yourcommunity, take a road trip or returnto one of your favorites that youhaven’t seen in awhile. Museums ofevery type — art, historical, science,arboretums, zoos and more — are par-ticipating.
