With the rapid acceptance ofgenetically modified organismseeds by the American farmer, andthe domination of the seed indus-try by four global giants, so-calledconventional corn was pretty muchleft sitting on the sidelines.

But things happen on the sidelines, too. Likethe recognition that not all world markets werebuying into genetically modified grain products.Also not all farmers were wanting to pay thehefty seed price of stacked hybrids.

Most significantly, a few independent seedcompanies weren’t wanting to go into the “totaltrait” package either. Instead they ramped uptheir breeding programs on non-GMO seed stockand selective farmers are cashing in two ways:

• Purchasing non-GMO hybrids about $100per bag less than a total-trait choice, and

• Harvesting yields comparable with thehigher-priced ponies.

“It’s all about choice,” said Charles Brown,president of CB Seed of Bay City, Wis.

The choice gets easier when you have bothprice and performance in your seed package, hesaid. Five years ago he sold off the retail arm ofBrownseed Genetics which had a 100-year fam-ily history and instead put the focus on geneticresearch.

Today that research has paid off with a lineupof strictly conventional or single-trait hybrids.That’s why CB Seed decided to go retail.

Brown said, “most seed products today containnumerous bioengineered traits, so farmers payfor features they often just don’t need. Plus wehave numerous third-party trials showing yieldisn’t sacrificed when planting seed with fewertraits.

“However the more-important reality is that agrowing segment of the market demands non-GMO corn and soybeans. But there are very fewactive breeding programs today concentrating onnon-GMO research. Once you convert germplasmto GMO, it is permanently converted. You cannotgo back.”

CB Seed isn’t ignoring the trait market. GT(glyphosate tolerant) and CBLL (corn borer Lib-erty Link) traits are available. They also carrytriple- and quad-stacks for growers wanting thoseproducts. Plus they also provide output traits ofUltra High Oil corn containing 9 percent oil drybasis, 13 percent dry basis protein and Mid-Oilcorn containing 6-6.5 percent dry basis oil and 9percent dry basis protein. They can provide con-ventional hybrids ranging from 82-day to 112-daymaturity.

During crop year 2010, their conventionalhybrids consistently produced 180 to 200 bushelyields. CB Seed conducts year-round researchwith plots in Chile, North Africa and Japan, andthey are adding plots in the Ukraine in 2012.

The focus is on producing seed for the northcentral U.S. market. CB3150, for example, yielded263.3 bushels per acre in yield trials at Melrose,

Minn., last year and topped its maturity class inWisconsin state yield trials at 194 bu./acre in thenorthern zone. Another conventional experimen-tal hybrid yielded 269 bu./acre. The bulk of theirthird-party research trials are conducted by theU.S. Testing Network. Data from 2011 is not yetfinalized but can soon be viewed atwww.cbseed.com.

“We are frequently told by growers that our con-ventional hybrids are often their best corn. Witha 2012 retail seed cost of $148 per unit we areable to provide significant value,” Brown said.The break-even of $100 per bag increased costwith $6 corn planted at 30,000 plants per acre is6.1 bu./acre. That means the multiple-stackedhybrid needs to produce at least 6.1 bu./acregreater yield than the conventional hybrid tohave equal value.

Besides cheaper seed costs, apparently conven-tional corn earns some extra money in the mar-ketplace too. Brown said, Consolidated GrainBuyers is paying a $0.45 per bushel premiumover Chicago Board of Trade, buyer call Decem-ber 2012-February 2013, with following monthsadding the carry to the premium. The deliverypoints are in Iowa and Illinois.

CB Seed also offers specific corn silage “high-energy” hybrids with the focus on high oil/highprotein corn. Oil has 22.5 percent more caloriesthan starch thus the emphasis on high oil con-tent.

“And when we can produce 4.5 percent fat insilage, this is a real benefit. We have doneresearch on one farm over a five-year period withthese results: rolling herd average increased 776pounds per head; annual butterfat increased 912pounds per head and protein increased 38 poundsper heads,” Brown said.

Last year their conventional silage hybridCB5404 yielded 7.5 dry tons per acre.

CB Seed does not carry organic hybrids butdoes provide parent lines to American Organicswhich is a Brownseed Genetics licensee. Brown isvice chairman of the ASTA Organic Seed Com-mittee and is active in the organic corn breedingefforts. He also was a founding member of USTN,a testing consortium of public and private breed-ers nationwide for evaluating hybrid performancein many different environments.

New for CB Seed is a program called Purity Plus, aproduction/testing program which starts with a sin-gle ear in the nursery, tests the seed for adventitiouspresence of GMO, and advances to the next level.Once validated by the Crop Improvement Associa-tion, the organic and conventional grower knowsthat their seed is certified non-GMO. CB Seed is thefirst in the industry to do this.

Minnesota and Wisconsin serve as the primarymarkets for CB Seed products since it specializesin hybrids with less than 100-day maturities.

... the more-important reality isthat a growing segment of themarket demands non-GMOcorn and soybeans. But thereare very few active breedingprograms today concentratingon non-GMO research. Onceyou convert germplasm toGMO, it is permanently con-verted. You cannot go back.

— Charles Brown


For most farmers,2012 crop choices arealready locked in. The2011 harvest wasquick. Much fall fertil-ity got done. So, too,did basic tillage.

Net revenue fromcorn exceeded soybean revenue formost farmers. Does that suggest evenmore corn-on-corn on the agenda for2012? That may very well be exactlythe place to be.

Steve Zenk, Farm Business Manage-ment instructor at Ridgewater Collegein Willmar, Minn., said that even witha yield drain of 20 bushels per acre forcorn-on-corn, based on current corn($5.50) and soybean ($11.50) pricescorn wins. “Even when we add another$35 to $50 per acre fertilizer costs forcontinuous corn you’re still $75 to $100per acre better growing corn-on-corn,”Zenk said.

His calculations used 170- to 185-bushel corn and 60- to 65-bushel soy-beans. But he cautioned that too muchcorn could generate softer markets forthe 2012 crop. “So we advise locking ina good chunk of your 2012 crop, like at

least 50 percent, toprotect against cornprices collapsing. Thisalso stresses theimportance of buyingthe right crop insur-ance to protect that2012 investment.”Market signals

Purdue UniversityExtension economist Alan Milleragreed. “Preliminary budgets showvariable costs for corn increasing by 16percent for the 2012 crop, soybeans by15 percent and wheat by 12 percent,”he said, with land rental costs andvolatile fertilizer prices being the twoprimary drivers. Also seed prices willbe up 5 to 10 percent.

He, too, said that despite recentdeclines in corn and soybean prices,the income potential from continuouscorn looks better than a soybean rota-tion.

“The markets are signaling that theywant more corn. And it appears farm-ers are listening because early indica-tions are more corn acres at theexpense of soybean acres for 2012,”Miller said. Escalating cash rent is thechallenge, especially in an environ-ment with so much potential for quick

commodity price declines and inputcost surges.

“Growers should concentrate onbeing low-cost producers on a cost-per-bushel basis. It’s margin between theselling price and your costs that deter-mines profitability,” he said.

If you didn’t get nitrogen applied thisfall what’s the likely impact for nextspring applications? Zenk said histeam estimated at least another $50per acre — if your fall fertility costswere $175/acre, figure $225/acre nextspring. “However throwing that extra$50 in there and corn-on-corn stilllooks better. We look at what we call‘sensitivity tables’ and the upside isway stronger for corn than soybeans.”World markets

Is greater profitability the primedriver for more corn? Yes, as it shouldbe, but Zenk wonders if many farmerssimply have a greater desire to growmore corn because hybrid seed pro-vides more certainty of better yields

than do soybeans. World markets alsoseem a bit hungrier for corn.

He said the Chinese demand forcorn keeps growing. Also the U.S. live-stock industry is showing somerebound, and ethanol demand, thoughnot expanding, keeps utilizingupwards of 35 percent or more of U.S.corn production.

John Baize, respected agriculturalworld observer, said in his latestreport, “China reaped its seventhrecord corn crop in eight years. Yetthere still won’t be enough to meetdemand, driving a five-fold gain inimports as prices head for the highestever annual average.

“Chinese production reached 189.2million metric tons, 6.7 percent morethan a year earlier. Yet imports in themarketing year just begun Oct. 1 mayjump to 5 million tons. Rising inputssimply tell us that Chinese farmers

CORN, from pg. 5Aare failing to grow enough grain for their growinglivestock industry. China’s dairy herds have almosttripled since 2000 and per capita pork consumptionrose 26 percent.”

According to Dan Basse, president of AgResourceCo., a Chicago-based research company, China mayneed to import as much as 7 million tons of corn and4 million tons of lower quality wheat next year tofeed its hog, poultry and dairy herds.Genetics

Perhaps another nod to corn is simply the geneticsof hybrid corn versus soybean seed. “You look at thegenetic package of hybrid seed corn today comparedto just 10 years ago and it’s remarkable the yieldbreeders have put into hybrid corn. Not so for soy-beans. Ten years back 150 bushel corn was accept-able. Today 200 bushel is our starting point. Granted2011 weather challenges dropped yields signifi-cantly but there were lots of 200-plus bushel yieldseven so,” Zenk said.

Does this genetic potential suggest using multi-stack hybrids simply as good insurance? Zenk said

several farmers in his farm busi-ness management programreported the refuge “conventional”corn did as well or better. “So maybejust selecting traits for your partic-ular fields is a better choice eventhough you may need some insecti-cide protection later,” he said.

Does more continuous corn por-tend a strategy issue for 2013? If,

for example, you move from 50-50 corn-soybeans to75 percent corn-25 percent soybeans for 2012, thenwhat in 2013, especially if your continuous corn hadsome issues? Then you’re looking at potentially 75percent soybeans in 2013 and that, too, suggestssome potential revenue challenges.

“If the market keeps rewarding more corn, thenthat’s where you should be,” Zenk said. But with cornthe apparent winner for additional acres, will therebe enough seed? Seed supply is questionable becauseof the challenging production year just wrapped up.Seed supply

Irv Parker, veteran seed industry consultant, sus-pects carryover seed from the excellent 2010 seedproduction year will make 2012 a doable crop yearfor corn. But he thinks seed could be iffy, noting, “agrower in southern Illinois indicated his seed cropwas only 45 percent of expectations. In Nebraskasome seed growers reported only 75 percent ofintended yield. Winter increases in South Americaand elsewhere will help cover the supply issue. Butthis carryover of 2010 seed is like gold in the bank.”

“Supply will be tight for certain hybrids,” saidChris Garvey, Mycogen Seeds general manager. Win-ter production is the offset for summer productionissues, plus seed firms can accelerate new productintroductions in South America. “For Mycogen Seedsthat means a robust launch of new Dow AgroScienceRefuge Advanced powered by SmartStax products.Because refuge in the bag products offer a blend oftwo hybrids with comparable agronomics andmatching seed sizes, seed production is critical.

CORN, from pg. 8Agen Seeds, said, “we price ourhybrids at a value proposition tosupport broad adoption of newtechnologies. With historicallyhigh commodity corn prices, Ibelieve growers will continue tochoose leading-edge technology.Higher whole-farm yields becomeeven more important as total pro-duction costs continue to esca-late.”Alternatives

“I don’t think we’ll grow fewersoybeans worldwide, we’ll justgrow them in different places,”Zenk said. “Even here in America,soybeans are moving farther northand west every season. But ourproblem is that we just can’t consistently pro-duce a 60-bushel crop, sometimes even 50bushels.” He even suggested looking at othercrops as a better choice, be that sweet corn,lentils or edible beans.

That’s exactly the directiontaken by Rich Elbert of BirdIsland, Minn. He’s planning 500acres of navy beans next year andno corn. For Elbert it’s simply theprocess of following the money.He’s already locked in 42 cents for2012 navies. Peg that with a3,000-pound yield, and $6 corn at200 bushels doesn’t match up,especially with at least $100 peracre less production cost withnavies.

“The genetics of navy beans aremuch improved. Growing the cropis much like soybeans. My buyerprovides the seed. Straight com-bined they’re a relatively easycrop,” said Elbert, who has raised

3,000-pound navies in previous years. The obvi-ous risk of specialty crops grown without con-tract is that prices can quickly tumble if toomuch of this niche crop starts crowding themarket.

Doesn’t hurt to look into alternativesBy DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

Bob Craven, director of the University of MinnesotaCenter for Farm Financial Management, did a pres-entation at the recent Minnesota Crop InsuranceConference, “Crop Production Costs and Farm IncomeTrends.” His numbers are from FINBIN, one of thelargest and most accessible sources of farm financialand production benchmark information.

His database for southern Minnesota corn, cashrented, stacks up like this.

2010 2011 Est. 2012 Proj.Total cost/acre $626.86 $691.52 $771.98Seed cost $98.58 $103.51 $113.86Fertilizer $118.28 $130.11 $169.14

Utilizing three different yield objectives and basedon that 2012 $772 projected total cost per acre, pro-duction costs per bushel, including a $20 direct pay-ment and $50 labor and management charge peracre, are as follows.

Yield/acre 150 bu. 175 bu. 200 bu.Rent/acre$204 $5.35 $4.58 $4.01$250 $5.65 $4.84 $4.24$300 $5.99 $5.13 $4.49$350 $6.32 $5.42 $4.74On Nov. 11, December corn was trading $5.77 on the

Chicago Board of Trade. Assume a 40-cent basis pro-vided a $5.37 price opportunity for fall 2012. So at$200 cash rent and 200-bushel yields that’s about a$1.36 profit per bushel opportunity.

For soybeans, cash rented, the FINBIN data showedthe following.

2010 2011 Est. 2012 Proj.Total cost/acre $397.47 $441.37 $473.97

Assuming a $20 direct payment play a labor andmanagement charge of $35 per acre and the $474 pro-jected costs of soybeans in 2012, cost per bushel are:

42 bu. 50 bu. 58 bu.$204 $11.64 $9.78 $8.43$300 --- $11.71 ---$350 $15.13 $12.71 $10.96

“The corn-soybean price ratio continues to favorcorn,” Craven said. But like all projections on 2012,dry soils are a major concern. Looking at the NorthAmerican drought map causes even more questionsabout the 2012 crop outlook.

It’s all about making farmers moremoney.

That’s how Chuck Wilmes sees thestrategy of the series of Crop Produc-tion Services’ Innovative and FocusedResearch Plots across Minnesota andSouth Dakota.

Wilmes, the CPS seed manager forthe Minnesota and South Dakotadivision, oversees the various cornand soybean plots that go far beyondthe simple yield comparisons of Dyna-Gro seed, the CPS “house brand.”

“We’re putting our best up againstthe best of other brands,” Wilmessaid, “but we’re looking at more than

just yield results.”In addition to seed, the plot compar-

isons also compare performance ofstarter treatments and foliar treat-ments for both corn and soybeans. (Seestory on Page 11A for treatmentstested.)

The lessons learned from these plots,and their accompanied plot days,break down to the lowest commondenominator.

“All of these treatments and thehybrids aren’t worth anything if youdon’t start with a good fertility base,”Wilmes said.

“It’s what’s in your dirt” that mat-ters, said Ryan Hiniker, CPS sales rep-resentative and crop consultant in the

Mankato, Minn., area.Hiniker said he has seen producers

really getting behind the focus onwhole-plant health. “It’s amazing howtissue sampling is catching on,” hesaid. “That’s allowing the grower tocatch things during the growing sea-son. It’s too late for that crop if you’rewaiting until after harvest to take asoil test.”

CPS plots are near Sargeant, EastChain, Mora, Slayton, Big Lake, Mans-

field, Dassel, Sauk Centre, Lakefield,Pipestone, Mankato, Winthrop andHarmony in Minnesota, and Northvillein Spink County, S.D.

Wilmes echoes CPS’s printed pur-pose of the Innovative and FocusedPlot when he says, “we want to provideunbiased results. ... our main goal is toimprove our growers’ return on invest-ment.”

CPS, from pg. 10AEach cooperator-

grower, as well as anyproducer requestingone, receives a book-let of plot results ofall the plots.

“Today some ofthese growers arefarming in five to seven counties, sothis can really be beneficial to theseguys,” Hiniker said. “They can see howa particular variety and treatment per-formed across a wide area.”

In addition to Dyna-Gro seed, theplots also compare corn seed from NK,DeKalb and Pioneer, and soybeansfrom NK, Asgrow and Pioneer.

Although these plots are CPS plots,and Dyna-Gro is the CPS house brand,Dyna-Gro does not always come out ontop. And that’s just fine with Hinikerand Wilmes.

“Obviously, we want to get them ascustomers, but if we can just give themall the information so they can maketheir best management decisions fortheir farm, that’s what it’s all about,”Hiniker said.

In addition to getting a one-yearsnapshot, the grower will also get aprogressive performance picture overtime. This year was the second year forthe majority of the plot locations, thusthere are two years of production sta-tistics for those locations. The Mankato

and Winthrop locationswere added for 2011.

Hiniker sees potentialgrowth in the CPS plotformat, by maybe com-paring more than justhybrids, starters andfoliar treatments.“Maybe we’ll downsizesome foliar treatments,

and maybe add some insecticide com-parisons, or look at plant populationand planting depth comparisons,”Hiniker said.

Just an example of data included inthe results book, a starter treatment ofRiseR and Black LabelZn came inabout 2 bushels an acre better than amix of RiseR and 10-34-00 (190.4bu./acre to 188.2 bu./acre). The realadvantage of the RiseR-Black LabelZntreatment comes in a dollars per acreadvantage of $31.80. The RiseR and10-34-00 treatment brought in an addi-tional $18.60/acre. (A factor of $6 perbushel for corn was used to figurethese results.)

Those are number that hit home forfarmers, especially when it’s all aboutmaking them more money.

Carryover. It’s sometimes a dreadedword in the seed industry because ofthe simple connotation that you didn’tsell as much as you thought you would.

This year, however, lots of seedindustry people are saying“thank goodness for carryover.”The reason is obvious. The ficklenature of Mother Nature duringthe somewhat cantankerous2011 growing season simplyproduced less seed yield for seedcompanies across America.

At a September field day ofThurston Genetics of Olivia, Minn.,visiting seeds men concurred seedsupply for the 2012 growing seasoncould be an issue.

Bob Thurston, president, said, “finalresults are yet to be determined butearly indications are seed yields willindeed be challenged. That July heatkilled a lot of pollen that should havebeen making the 2011 seed crop. Sothere was a poor seed set in manyareas of the Corn Belt where the bulkof our seed corn industry is located.

“However, we have a good chance torecoup much of that loss with winter

production in Chile andArgentina. And perhaps notsurprising, the seed industryreacted quickly so most of theavailable acres for seed pro-duction in South America arepretty much maxed out.”

Thurston pointed out that carryoverseed is always a player in the seedindustry. The notion that new cropseed is better than old crop seed iswrong. “Seed corn can maintain itsquality for many years. There aretimes when your carryover seed is, infact, better quality than your newcrop,” he said, adding that the qualityof the 2011 crop seed is suspect inmany areas simply because of thestressful conditions of this season.

Different trait packages are alwaysbeing examined. New and improvedgenetics are an ongoing ambition ofevery seed company. “You always need

to be receptive to what your customersare looking for. That means constantlytweaking what you already have in theprocess of forecasting what the Ameri-can farmer wants,” Thurston said. Highon that “wish list” for farmers are moreefficient water-utilization hybrids.

“2012 will be a big year for looking atthe drought-related traits. Our goal isto be in a full blown launch of ‘drought-resistant’ hybrids a year from now,” hesaid.

How big is the concern about resist-ance to the corn rootworm trait? “It’sscattered around. The big biotech com-panies that deal in these traits arewell aware of what’s happening,” saidThurston. “The Monsantos, Sygentas,BASF, etc., they’re ahead of the curve.They have the scientific depth, theresources to always come up with newproducts to head off the latest threat,whatever that maybe.

“The new product being releasedtoday if, for example, it’s a new cornrootworm product, the next generationis already being worked on. All thebiotech companies believe in ‘resist-ance’ and that is why they are alwaysbuilding new platforms for new prod-uct introductions.”It’s all about corn

Always enthusiastic about the con-stantly changing landscape of NorthDakota, Dan Lund, NuTech Seedregional sales manager at Alice, N.D.,said, “Corn is the new king up here.Potatoes have pretty much left the RedRiver Valley (moving west); so, too, havecanola and edible beans (also movingwest); wheat started moving west quitea few years ago. Soybeans came on likegangbusters, but today farm talk inNorth Dakota is all about corn.”

Good money, great yields, few diseaseissues and new hybrids that readilyadapt to the North Dakota environ-ment are what’s moving corn into theheadlines, according to Lund.

“Corn acreage is going to be huge uphere next year,” he said. “A lot of guysare talking 100 percent corn; and soy-beans will continue right behind. But

Seed industry giving thanks for carryover supplySeed corn can maintain its quality for many years.There are times when your carryover seed is, in fact,better quality than your new crop.

CARRYOVER, from pg. 12Athe big question is will therebe enough seed to meet thisnew demand?

“Because of all the new traitswe don’t carryover as muchseed as we used to. Throughthis much additional acreageinto the business plan and itputs some pressure on thishybrid seed supply for 2012.Traits aren’t quite as wild uphere but strangely, westernNorth Dakota and Montanagrowers like the rootwormcombos. It seems to kick theiryield up, very likely because ofbetter water efficiency. Moreand healthier roots that keepon working even when mois-ture is scarce is their thinking.”

So will new “water-efficient”hybrids catch on quickly in his territory?

“It depends on the cost. The cost-ben-efit ratio may fall apart if seed price isexcessive. Right now growers are OKabout trait discounts on the triple-stack offerings.”

Lund smiled, “We’re looking morelike Iowa every year.”Difficult season

Relating to the 2011 seed crop, seedindustry consultant Irv Parker describeda difficult season for seed producers withweather being the single biggest com-plaint — from cool, wet late seasonplantings, to a surge of July heat whichrushed seed fields into pollination, andthen the early September frost.

“A grower in southern Illinois indicatedhis seed crop was only 45 percent ofexpectations; in Nebraska some seedgrowers are reporting only 75 percent ofintended yield so it cuts across the entireseed production areas,” Parker said. He

said irrigated seed acres in Nebraska,Michigan and Minnesota looked great.

Lee Huey, an Ames, Iowa,agronomist who evaluates cornhybrids, said he has seen themost agronomic problems overthe entire Midwest in the 40-plus years he has evaluatedhybrids. He evaluates hybridsfrom Kentucky to North Dakota.Denitrification caused by exces-sive moisture this past springwas a problem at most locations.He also observed poor kernel fillcaused by excessive July heatand stalk and root problems as aresult of high winds and stalkrot at many locations. He agreedwith estimates that yields over-all in the Midwest will be from10 to 15 bushels below lastyear’s average.

Parker said that today whena questionable seed crop happens,everybody scurries to South Americafor winter production. Plus it lets theseed industry reevaluate production ofcertain seed lines. “Things that didn’twork so well up here in the states don’tneed to be considered in South Amer-ica. They’ll plant seed acres to inbredlines that do substantially better andthat allows for some inventory adjust-ment.”

His appraisal on carryover seed is thatthis year especially, it’s much like goldin the bank. “If you’re a good manager ofcorn seed production you’ll deliberatelyplant for a 25 percent or better carry-over just simply as a hedge against anunpredictable Mother Nature.”

So regardless of 2012 corn plantingintentions, Parker suspected carryoverseed from the excellent seed year of2010 will be a key factor in making2012 a doable crop year for corn.

Parker: Carryover seed this year like gold in the bank

Corn acreage is going to be huge up here (in NorthDakota) next year. A lot of guys are talking 100 per-cent corn. ... But the big question is will there beenough seed to meet this new demand?

Leonardo Academy hosted the fall quar-terly meeting of the multi-stakeholderSustainable Agriculture Standards Com-mittee by webinar on Oct. 21.

A new website dedicated to the stan-dard development process was alsoannounced at the meeting. The new web-site, www.sustainableagstandard.org, wasreleased for public use as part of a newcommunications platform. It includessocial media tools, such as Facebook andTwitter, to aid in getting the word out thatthe first draft standard is progressingtoward completion. Those interested canparticipate on these social media sites asthey can add value at the subcommitteelevel.

As was highlighted at the meeting,the Draft Standard for SustainableAgriculture (LEO-4000) is gearing upfor public comment and subsequentpilot testing in the spring of 2012. TheLeonardo Academy is seeking produc-ers, manufactures, retailers, consumersand end-user representatives to partici-pate in the pilot testing of this stan-dard. At the meeting, the committeecompleted the second of three phases ofdrafting specific criteria, metrics andoutlined clear achievement levels in thedevelopment process.

Imagination runs free

Ivy-covered tower, Ortonville, Minn.

It’s almost like a fairy tale. Descending 20 stone steps ona steep hillside in Ortonville, Minn., brings you to a cas-

tle with an ivy-covered tower. The castle is filled withfairy tale creatures, whimsical characters representingcultures, peoples, ballerinas and angels.

If that scene requires imagination, that’s OK. Imagina-tion has free reign in this realm. The spirited queen whopresides over this fairy tale world is Mary Taffe — wife,mother, artist and creator of a host of fun sculptures.More than 70 charactersare part of the family ofdolls that Taffe has beencreating for a decade.

Her children haveplayed a significant rolein their creation. Whenher college-aged daugh-ter was 10, they madedolls at a mother-daugh-ter art day. That was thestart of these mixed-media sculptures com-posed from textiles, jew-elry, beads and foundobjects.

She made all femalecharacters until, whenher son was younger, sheheard him tell a customer, “My mom doesn’t like boys.”That prompted the creation of “Wonder Boy” and othermale personalities.

There is a childlike quality to the dolls, but they areanything but childish. These abstract creations in humanform celebrate family relationships and various cultures,some being inspired by historic personalities. While theylook fragile, everything is wired together (there is no hotglue) for a sturdy sculpture. Each doll comes with anoptional name and a verse of joy and energy written byTaffe. While there are standard characters, no two dollsare exactly alike.

Taffe also custom-makes dolls, and has a new line of“Teeny Tiny” dolls that are three inches tall, dressed infolk costumes of various nationalities.

While this isn’t a fairy tale and Taffe does not need to berescued — she’s been married to her Prince Charming forover 20 years — that fairy tale quality is underscored by oneother fact: Mary Taffe does her alchemy of turning foundmaterials into lovable creatures in her ivy-covered tower.

You can view the dolls in the Twin Cities at the Edina ArtCenter, and on main street Ortonville at JoLee’s JewelryStore, or online at http://littlewomen-mbt.blogspot.com.Taffe can be contacted at [email protected].

Through hybridization, genetic modifi-cation and other scientific advances, cropseed has been radically altered bymankind over the years to help boostyields, handle stresses and resist pests.

Crops can be planted earlier, in coolersoils, for longer growing seasons or ear-lier harvest; they are impacted less byweather extremes, such as high windsand extended droughts; and they fightback against little critters, both visibleand microscopic, that would otherwisefind the plant to be a tasty treat.

To the best of my knowledge, how-ever, there is no agricultural practice,chemical treatment or genetic tinkeringcurrently available to protect farmers’ crops fromwild elephants.

OK, so wild elephants may not be much of a prob-lem on Minnesota or Iowa farms — or on farmland ofany kind anywhere in the United States for thatmatter — but it’s a different story in Sri Lanka.Sri Lanka

Across this large island nation,situated off the southern coast ofIndia, rice farmers can do every-thing right in tending their crop,working to improve yields and navi-gating the vagaries of weather, yetlose it all just before harvest if aherd of wild elephants shouldchoose her land for a rice paddyhoe-down.

That’s exactly what happened toSri Lankan farmer R. M.Vimalawathi, according to a UnitedNations news service report.

She had been participating in fieldtrials for several years, trying avariety of different field practices togrow rice in soil that had becometoo salty. It is believed that risingtemperatures have increased evaporation in theregion, leaving behind excessive salt deposits.

Newer rice hybrids began to fail in these condi-tions, so farmers started experimenting with older,traditional seed that offered lower yields but werehardier and required less fertilizer, thus reducinginput costs.

In addition, trials included altering practices suchas how often they drained their paddies — more fre-quently, to reduce salinity levels — and harvesting afew days later than normal.

Those extra days, sadly, proved disastrous for Ms.Vimalawathi. The night before it was to be har-vested, wild elephants chomped and stomped theirway through what had been her most promising cropin years.

PakistanMeanwhile, about 1,700 miles to the north-

northwest, in the northern Pakistan state ofPunjab, a recent New York Times story tellsof rice and wheat farmers there also strug-gling with the effects of soil salinity. A jointproject between the Punjab government andthe UN to address the problem is makingsubstantial progress, however.

Area land that has been practicallyworthless for decades has been revived bytreating it with gypsum. If soil tests indi-cate a farmer’s land can be helped, it is

submerged for two to three weeks ingypsum and water.The gypsum powder neutralizes the

saline soil, and successful crops are grown within asingle season. Farming incomes have doubled ortripled — “to as much as $230 a month” according tothe story — and land values have skyrocketed frompractically zero to more than $6,000 per acre. (Inareas where this desalinization process isn’t possi-ble, farmers have been encouraged to grow alterna-

tive, saline-resistant crops such aseucalyptus.)India

From Punjab, if you travel about900 miles as the crow flies to the east-southeast, you’ll land in India’s north-eastern state of Bihar. There, farmersare benefiting from an even moreunusual source: impounded weapons.

According to a BBC News report,Bihar’s new director general ofpolice, who goes by the single nameof Abhayanand, has instituted an“arms to farms” program in whichthe police force is — taking Isaiah2:4 almost literally — beating swordsinto plowshares.

Bihar is the second-most crime-filled state in India. More than 3,000people were killed in violent crimes

there last year, and more than 60,000 confiscatedfirearms are stored at police stations across thestate. Abhayanand’s new program has begun work-ing with area blacksmiths to melt firearms downand reshape them into hoes, sickles and shovels.

“Instead of simply destroying the firearms,”Abhayanand is quoted as saying, “I thought it wouldbe better to recycle them into farming and garden-ing tools to help rural people earn their livelihoods.”Sounds like a pretty good idea to me.

And that’s your South Asia farm report. Now backto Lynn Ketelsen with the markets.

This Thanksgiving Day,like the previous threeNovember holidays, willfind the lovely Catherineand me about as far eastfrom the harvested Illinoisfields as one can get andstill be on American soil. Infact, we’ll be on federal soil,just seven blocks from theU.S. Capitol, at daughterGracie’s place in Washing-ton, D.C.

Any national holiday inthe District of Columbiacomes with benefits butthe winter ones, especiallyThanksgiving, carry unique pleasures.

First, the city is virtually empty.Most Capitol Hill staffers and theirbosses are in North Dakota or Okla-homa or any of their other 48 homestates. That leaves the 1,000-acreNational Mall and its many — and allfree — museums as quiet as theAberdeen, S.D., Regional Airport onEaster Sunday.

That’s a double bonus because, out-side the roasting hot month of Julyand the steam bath that is August inD.C., Washington is one of the greatwalking cities of the world. ItsThanksgiving near-emptiness andusually mild Novembers make morn-ing and evening walks a blessedretreat.

The wanderings can yield bonuses.For example, on a solo, mid-Thanks-

giving morning hike to the WhiteHouse a couple of years back I wasshowing off my rural roots by not jay-

walking across a perfectlydeserted PennsylvaniaAvenue. When the lightchanged and I finallystepped into the street ashiny Dodge pick-up cut meoff mid-avenue.

“Hey, fella,” a lady in polar-fleece from ears to arms saidout of the passenger window,“how about a hot Thanksgiv-ing meal?” A big paper sackextended from her gloved

hand.Uh, me? No, I’m just out

for a walk.“You sure, fella?” she asked. “You cer-

tainly look like you could use a hotmeal.”

She had a point. My hooded sweat-shirt was more a billboard for Stihlchainsaw oil than warmth and a sun-bleached St. Louis Cardinals caplooked like a Salvation Army retread.Three-day old whiskers added to myliving-really-low appearance.

“Take it,” she said, shaking it like awet cat. “It’s OK to be poor.”

Well, she had another point — espe-cially if you’re in a chrome-drippingpickup truck and branded sportswear— so I took it and I packed it to theWhite House before handing it over toan even needier-looking guy shufflingslowly through Lafayette Park.

“Happy Thanksgiving, man,” he saidas I gave him the bag.

I took the long mosey back up thestill-green Mall to the shiny Capitol,then around its Senate’s side to the

Supreme Court building to ensure itsmotto, “Equal Justice Under the Law,”still covered its west façade and thenation. It did.

A few minutes later I was back atGracie’s place, thankful that my dinnerand family awaited and not a luke-warm meal from a paper sack.

I’ll make several D.C. treks this holi-day. A short one will take me south tothe Navy Yard and its stunning, almostsecret museum, then back past MarineBarracks to a bike shop on EighthStreet.

Another will swing north to StantonPark, left to bustling Union Station,then maybe a quiet, slow walk throughthe National Portrait Gallery and then— who could have guessed? — I’ll find

myself in front of a favorite Irish pubnear the Verizon Center.

As usual, one hike will go west pastthe Washington Monument to againvisit the brother of a high school friendat the Vietnam Memorial, to tremble(again) at the feet of Abraham Lincolnand to view, for the first time, the newMartin Luther King, Jr. Memorial.

And on my way back to Gracie’s eachtime I will, again, marvel at this city’sstriking monuments and wonder whoamong today’s leaders might meritsuch honor and esteem.

> To the Editor:Herman Cain is finding out one of the

perils of political life. If there is oneblemish in your life, the world is soongoing to find out about it through dailyarticles in the press. You are automati-cally guilty without the opportunity todefend yourself, no matter how long agothe incident occurred. Almost every can-didate for political office has somethingthat could, under the tactics of politicallife, be subject to headline scrutinywithout knowing the whole story.

We have seen it in our last governor’srace. One of the charges leveled at theRepublican candidate was that he hadbeen picked up for drunken driving.Never mind that this happened 30years ago, it still became the issue thatelected Gov. Dayton with only 43 per-cent of the votes.

Karl Rolvaag was elected over ElmerL. Anderson, when he charged Ander-son in the last couple weeks of the cam-paign, with covering up errors in con-structing Highway 35 through thecities. After the election they admittedthat the story was untrue — butRolvaag became governor because ofthe lie.

The Republican candidate for gover-nor, Grunseth, had to step aside whenthe rumor was that he allowed hisyoung girls to swim nude in his privatepool.

Nationally the same situation hasoccurred quite regularly. Several Repub-lican congressmen have lost their seatsbecause of allegations against them. It

has been the policy of the Republicanparty to ask them to resign rather thanfight because it is almost impossible towin an election when a candidate is con-stantly under fire.

The Democratic party uses a differ-ent system. When Clinton was underfire, he denied the allegations. Whenthe House voted to impeach him, theDemocrats in the Senate refused to doso. When Senator Ted Kennedydrowned the girl he was fooling aroundwith, they kept electing him and hebecame an icon, a leader in the partyfor many years. Wilbur Mills, whoheaded the appropriations committeein the House, drove into the TidalBasin with Fanny Hill at his side. Hewas drunk, as usual, but still retainedhis position. When New York congress-man Weiner was exposed, he stillplanned to run for Mayor of New York.When a Democrat congressman fromAlabama was charged with acceptingbribes, the F.B.I. found $90,000 in cashin his freezer. The party still supportedhim in the next election.

Herman, I think that you are facingan up-hill battle because of this. It isnot fair to you and the electorate. Thepress in particular is not going to writeabout your solutions to the problemsthat we have in our national leader-ship today. They are going to writeabout the sensational topics, like Pres.Clinton’s “I didn’t inhale when I usedthe stuff.”Al SchumannEyota, Minn.

Letter: GOP, Dems dealwith dilemmas differently

Perhaps the silliestthing about the modernglobal warming debate isthat we’re trying to evaluate major cli-mate changes in eye-blinks of timesuch as 10 or 30 years. The big Ice Agecycle lasts about 90,000 years, the lastone ended about 12,000 years ago. ElNinos last a year or two and changenothing, climate-wise. The WeatherChannel can (sort of) predict 10 daysout.

Yet the UN panel’s claims of man-made warming are based on an“unprecedented warming” that wasonly 22 years long, 1976-1998. There’sbeen no trace of a warming trendsince. There was, however, an earlier“unprecedented warming” from 1915-1940 — before the Industrial Revolu-tion started seriously raising the C02levels.

At the moment, the alarmists arefrantically predicting that the Arcticwill become ice-free any minute now,all the polar bears will starve, andwe’ll be sorry we didn’t listen. TheRussians, however, say the Arcticregion has recently been about at thepeak warmth of its own 70-year cli-mate cycle — and the Russians knowthe Arctic. There are, additionally, lots

of old news stories in theNew York Times files that

made the same “unprece-dented” claims about Arctic melting inthe 1920s and 30s. Let’s also remem-ber that there are two Poles and theAntarctic has been building ice for thelast 40 years.

Today, we’d like to settle the Arcticquestion once and for all — based onresearch that has been before us foryears. First, let’s agree that geologistsand climatologists have the evidence oflong-term changes in the earth’s pasttemperatures. Geologist Ian Plimer, inhis book “Heaven and Earth,” notesthat the first global warming duringour Holocene, between 9000 and 6500BC, was the warmest earth has beensince the end of the last big Ice Age.

A Norwegian research team threeyears ago announced it had foundimportant evidence of an ice-free Arc-tic during that first Holocene warm-ing. “The climate in the northernregions has never been milder sincethe last Ice Age than it was about6,000-7,000 years ago,” says AstridLysa, one of the Norwegian geologists.

Lysa and Eiliv Larsen, of the Geolog-ical Survey of Norway, studied beachridges on the northern shores of

Greenland. They found distinct, verylong beach ridges, running parallel tothe beach, which dated back to 6000-7000 years BC. They say these ridgeswere formed when there was waveactivity and occasional storms — on abig body of water with little or no ice.The research team says pack ice ridgesare shorter, narrower and more irregu-lar. The Norwegian team says the sealevels haven’t been as high since,because the ice hasn’t all melted since.Otherwise, new waves would havewashed the older ridges away

If the Arctic was nearly ice-free inthe first Holocene Warm Period, didthe seals disappear? Did the polarbears starve? If they had, there’d be nopolar bears up there today, since theyaren’t migratory.

Lysa and Larsen say there are packice ridges farther down the beach; Car-bon dating shows this Arctic pack ice

had re-formed by 4,000 years ago.There is also evidence that Inuithunters had migrated to the northernbeaches by that time. These seal-hunting people had to have both packice, and driftwood.

“Seals and driftwood wereabsolutely vital if they were to sur-vive, says Larsen. “They needed sealsfor food and clothing, and driftwoodfor fuel when the temperature crepttoward minus 50 degrees.”

There you have it. The Arctic hasbeen ice-free or nearly ice-free in theclimatically recent past. So much for“unprecedented warmth” in today’sArctic, so much for the polar bearsgoing extinct. However, I will concedethat climate cycling is so complex itwould be much simpler to just blamehumans.

According to new statistics released byAmerican Farmland Trust’s FarmlandInformation Center, efforts by state gov-ernments to protect agricultural land through pur-chase of agricultural conservation easement pro-grams stalled despite an apparent increase in totalacres protected. PACE programs compensate farmersand ranchers for permanently protecting their landwith conservation easements that limit future devel-opment and keep farmland available for agriculture.

The Farmland Information Center’s survey ofPACE programs found that during 2010, state pro-grams acquired four percent more easements toreach a total of 12,415 easements nationwide. Pro-tected acres rose eight percent to 2,185,996 acres.

But Colorado accounted for 59 percent of the year’sincrease in acres. The state more than doubled itsannual acres protected from 43,723 acres in 2009 to95,303 acres in 2010. When Colorado is taken out ofthe mix, the remaining state-level programs pro-tected 21 percent less land than in the prior year.Colorado completed several large acreage projects.

Another bright spot was New Jersey, where inAugust, Gov. Chris Christie signed legislation allo-cating $90.6 million to preserve farmland in the Gar-den State. New Jersey’s State Agriculture Develop-ment Committee administers the farmlandpreservation programs, which include state-initiatedfarmland protection projects and grants to counties,municipalities and nonprofits.

In contrast, at least 16 active state programseither reduced spending or continued not to fundfarmland protection projects in the face of tight statebudgets. All states together spent $185,204,380, or21 percent less than 2009, and 45 percent less thanthe amount in 2008.

Cuts in state-level farmland protection funding are

particularly ill-timed because PACEactivity had started to gain momentum,encouraged by federal funding. From

2001 to 2011, there was a 32 percent increase in thenumber of active state-level programs and a 127 per-cent spike in independent local programs. Ease-ments acquired by state programs rose 153 percentfrom 4,898 to 12,415 while protected acres skyrock-eted by 171 percent. Early adopters have realizedsignificant accomplishments; protecting meaningfulproportions of their agricultural land base.

Continued funding is needed to keep pace withdevelopment. Only three states had saved more thanone acre for each acre of agricultural land converted:Delaware (1.21 acres), Maryland (1.63 acres) andVermont (3.28 acres). Five additional states had pro-tected more than 0.5 acre for each acre lost: Pennsyl-vania (0.64 acre), New Jersey (0.69 acre), Massachu-setts (0.77 acre), Connecticut (0.83 acre) andColorado (0.91 acre). PACE programs do not stopdevelopment but ensure that there will be a supplyof agricultural land in the future.

Food production, and therefore long-term foodsecurity, depends on the availability of agriculturalland. Saving agricultural land as the world’s popula-tion grows from seven billion to 9.4 billion in 2050will help ensure that the global demand for food canbe met. Well-managed agricultural land also pro-vides food and cover for wildlife and protects water-sheds. It helps control flooding, absorbs and filterswastewater, provides groundwater recharge, and hasthe potential to generate a source of renewableenergy. Working lands support local economiesthrough sales of farm goods, job creation, supportservices and businesses, and by creating secondarymarkets such as food processing and distribution.

The federal government helped bridge the fundinggap last year, releasing $31 million more in Farm

and Ranch Lands Protection Program allocationsthan it did in 2009. The FRPP provides matchingfunds to entities to buy easements on agriculturalland. Since its inception in 1996 through 2010, theFRPP has allocated nearly $888 million for ease-ment acquisitions and supporting technical assis-tance. Of the 25 states that acquired easementsthrough PACE, 22 (or 88 percent) have used FRPPfunds. In addition to assisting state PACE pro-grams, the FRPP has worked with local PACE enti-ties and non-governmental organizations in 49states.

Reductions in federal funding or significantchanges to the program could further stall farmlandprotection efforts nationwide. “We hope that Con-gress will think long and hard about cuts to conser-vation because conservation spending is vital to ournational security. Conservation dollars spent herewon’t be undone by future development. A workinglands easement program keeps land available forproduction and invests in local economies,” saidKatherine “Kitty” Smith, AFT Vice President of Pro-grams and Chief Economist.

As of January 2011, 25 states have active state-level PACE programs. Montana’s state PACEauthority expired in 2003. AFT’s Farmland Infor-mation Center conducts an annual survey of stateand local PACE programs throughout the country.Results are available online atwww.farmlandinfo.org.

OPINION

Looking back at theharvest, I thought itmight be interesting totake a look back at aharvest experience inyears gone by, kind of afamily story.

My dad took up writ-ing about his growing-up-years and a varietyof other life experi-ences while recoveringfrom a bout with cancerat about age 62. He didsome writing for over 20years, picking up the penwhen he had the notion.

Dad wrote that in thefall of 1939, when hewas 15, a neighbor,George Haggardt,asked him to help picka load of corn by hand tofeed the pigs. Georgemust have thought he dida good job because the nextyear, George hired him to pick cornthrough the harvest.

Dad wrote: We each had a team anda wagon. George said, “Fellows withmachine corn pickers are getting $2an acre. So if you pick an acre a day,I’ll pay you $2 a day.” So I had to proveI could do it. The field we were on tooknine rows to make an acre. So I pickedfor all I was worth and would come upwith about 11 rows a day just for goodmeasure. He said he thought I was

picking about 45 or 50bushels a day. He was

doing about the same, sowe were getting almost 100 bushels aday which wasn’t too bad for an old

man and a kid.We had been at itabout 10 days whenthe infamousArmistice Day bliz-

zard of 1940hit.

Things came to a screeching halt then.Two or three weeks later he had mecome over one halfway decent after-noon and try again. The next morningwe woke up to another raging blizzard.George said, “We’re licked again.” Sothey took me home and that was theend of money-making days for thatyear.”

Working at the neighbors had a big

influence on Dad in his teen years. Helearned a lot by seeing how neighborsdid things. He gained a lot of confi-dence by finding out that he couldwork along-side a neighbor and do agood job. It might not be a bad idea yetto give kids a chance to gain somework experience with a neighbor oncein a while.

Are you ready for a blizzard? Readyor not, we’d probably rather skip theblizzard for a while. And how doespicking two acres of corn a day soundto you ... or picking corn for $2 a day?

We’ve made a lot of progress inharvesting capacity. Still Dadoften said that picking cornby hand was one of the bestfarming experiences he had.It was pretty awesome towalk alongside a wagonpulled by a team of horsesthat found their way up and

down the field, pretty muchon their own, responding occa-

sionally to a “Whoa” or “Gitty-up.”It was good to take care of the crop,

to work close to the land and close tonature. It was good to build a corn crib,to fill the corn crib.

Through the years, Dad would saythat the greater treasure was the rela-tionships with family, neighbors —and the Provider of the sunshine, rain,the crop, family and neighbors. Soalong with asking how the crop turnedout, he’d be hoping things are goodwith family, the neighbors and your

Provider ... and that we’re working onthose things too where they need a lit-tle care. I’m still learning about thebalance of all of that.

It’s been another unusual growingseason, and farmers are in a lot of dif-ferent situations as we come to theclose of the harvest season. Somefarmers had an abundant harvest andsome had a kind of meager harvest.Some farmers with livestock will bebuying a fair amount of expensive feedthrough the next 10 or 11 months.

Perhaps whether kind of meager orabundant, it’s good to look at things tobe thankful for. Conditions for harvestwere about as good as we could hopefor. It was good to have a harvest sea-son where we weren’t wallowing inmud. The crop that was going into Sep-tember quite wet and immature drieddown amazingly fast.

And there’s family, friends, neighborsand the good things in life that arethere along with the challenges andthe difficult things.

Thanksgiving comes at a good timeof the year. I guess the Pilgrims hadthat figured out pretty well.

The Congressional Conference Com-mittee proposed to cut clean energyprograms for agriculture by more than60 percent in the agriculture budget for fiscal year2012. Because the U.S. government has been operat-ing under a short-term agreement that expires onNov. 18 this new measure was expected to pass,without amendment.

Members from theHouse and Senateproposed deep cuts tofunding for popularclean energy pro-grams that createrural economic devel-opment and energyindependence. “Thisis the wrong time toslash funding for pro-grams that createjobs and rural eco-nomic development,”said Allen Grosboll,Legislative Directorfor the Environmen-tal Law & Policy Cen-ter. “These cuts are astep back from solving America’s jobs and energychallenges.”

Farm bill clean energy programs have helped thou-sands of farmers, ranchers and rural small busi-nesses reduce energy costs and generate cleanenergy through wind, solar, biomass, energy effi-ciency and other projects. The cuts to these programsmean fewer jobs and less private investment in ruralAmerica.

Following is a summary of the funding cuts fromthe Senate-House conferees to clean energy develop-ment programs for agriculture:

Rural Energy for America Program (REAP, Section9007):

REAP provides grants and loan guarantees foragricultural producers and rural small businesses toimplement energy efficiency and a wide variety orrenewable energy systems.

• REAP cut by 64 percent to a total funding of$25.40 million from a $70 million authorization. Thistranslates into a loss of approximately 750 new jobs,based on established job creation rates for REAP.

Bioenergy Program for Advanced Biofuels (Section9005):

The Bioenergy Program for Advanced Biofuels pro-vides production payments for producers of“advanced biofuels,” which excludes corn ethanol.

• Bioenergy Program for Advanced Biofuels cut by62 percent, to $65 million, from a $105 millionauthorization.

Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP, Section9011):

BCAP provides cost-share funding to establish andpurchase first generation energy crops such asprairie grasses. BCAP was funded in the 2008 farmbill as “such sums as are necessary.”

• BCAP was capped at $17 million,while it was administratively capped at

$112 million in the 2011 fiscal year, areduction in the cap of 85 percent.

Recent farm bill proposals to expandcrop insurance for U.S. farmers havefailed to acknowledge threats to agri-culture from climate change, finds anew report from the Institute for Agri-culture and Trade Policy.

In their report, “A Risky Proposition:Crop Insurance in the Face of ClimateChange,” authors Julia Olmstead andJim Kleinschmit argue that crop insur-ance expansion without climate adap-tation for agriculture would threatenfood security and farmers’ livelihoods,while increasing costs for taxpayers.

“Agriculture is extremely vulnerableto the effects of climate change,” saidKleinschmit. “Farmers need support tomake their land more resilient to

floods, droughts and theother pressures climatechange brings. Revenueinsurance proposals help farmersfinancially cope with disasters, but donothing to help them minimize risk inthe field.”

Research indicates that diversifiedfarms that incorporate livestock andperennials are more resilient than sin-gle-crop farming systems to theincreases in flooding, drought and pestinvasions associated with climatechange. Current federal crop insuranceprograms, and the “shallow-loss” rev-enue insurance programs that have beenproposed for the 2012 farm bill, discour-age crop diversification and encourage

farmers to take onunwieldy amounts of risk.A better option, says the

report, would be for farmers partici-pating in federal crop insurance pro-grams to practice “climate compli-ance,” in which they would work withthe Natural Resources ConservationService to develop a whole-farm planto increase climate resilience andreceive support via farm bill conserva-tion programs to implement the plan.This cost-savings plan would help curbthe risk of large federal outlays oninsurance payouts and would leveragealready existing farm bill programssuch as the Conservation StewardshipProgram and the Environmental Qual-ity Incentives Program.

“It’s shocking that amid all the dis-cussion of crop insurance expansion,no one is talking about the reasonswhy farmers need more protectionfrom risk,” said Olmstead. “This year’ssevere droughts and floods should be

clear indications that if we don’t takesteps to help farmers protect theirfarms from climate change, we’re notonly putting the federal budget atrisk, but our entire food supply aswell.”

IATP supports policies in the U.S.and internationally that help farmersadapt to the effects of climate changeand will be producing an upcomingweb series profiling farmers who havewithstood extreme weather by build-ing resilience into their farming sys-tems.

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture BillNorthey encouraged Iowa fuel retail-ers and gas stations to submit nomina-tions for the Secretary’s RenewableFuels Marketing Awards, which recog-nize fuel retailers that have goneabove and beyond in their efforts tosell renewable fuels. Awards are pre-sented for both the marketing ofethanol and biodiesel.

“Fuel retailers continue to take stepsto make ethanol and biodiesel moreavailable to Iowa customers and thisaward is an opportunity to recognizethose who have shown leadership inpromoting these renewable fuels andmaking them more available to cus-tomers,” Northey said.

Qualifying entities will be those thatmarket the renewable fuels they haveavailable through creative efforts includ-ing, but not limited to: hosting specialevents highlighting their renewablefuels, development of creative signage,initiation of new advertisements or mar-keting efforts, and efforts dramaticallyincrease renewable fuel availability.

Nominations forms can be found on theIowa Department of Agriculture andLand Stewardship’s website atwww.IowaAgriculture.gov. Completednominations can be submitted via emailat [email protected] or mail at Henry A. Wallace Build-

ing, Attn: Dustin Vande Hoef, 502 East9th Street, Des Moines IA 50319. Nomi-nations must be submitted by Jan. 1.

Most older people are independent but later inlife, especially in the 80s and 90s, you or someoneyou know may begin to need help with everydayactivities like shopping, cooking, walking orbathing. For many people, regular or “long-term”care may mean a little help from family and friendsor regular visits by a home health aide. For otherswho are frail or suffering from dementia, long-termcare may involve moving to a place where profes-sional care is available 24 hours a day.

The good news is that families have more choicesin long-term care than ever before. Today, servicescan provide the needed help while letting you stayactive and connected with family, friends and neigh-bors. These services include home health care, adultday care, and transportation services for frail sen-iors as well as foster care, assisted living and retire-ment communities, and traditional nursing homes.Planning ahead

The key to successful long-term care is planning.You or your family may need to make a decision in ahurry, often after an unexpected emergency like abroken hip. Be prepared by getting informationahead of time. That way, you will know what’s avail-able and affordable before there is a crisis. To start:

• If you are having trouble with things likebathing, managing finances, or driving, talk withyour doctor and other health care professionalsabout your need for help. A special type of socialworker, called a geriatric case manager, can helpyou and your family through this complex time bydeveloping a long-term care plan and locating

appropriate services. Geriatric case man-agers can be particularly helpful whenfamily members live a long distanceapart.

• If you are helping a familymember or friend, talk about thebest way to meet his or her needs.If you need help for yourself, talkwith your family. For instance, ifyou are having trouble makingyour meals, do you want mealsdelivered by a local program orwould you like family and friendsto help? Would you let a paid aide inyour home? If you don’t drive, wouldyou like a friend or bus service to takeyou to the doctor or other appointments?

• Learn about the types of services and care inyour community. Doctors, social workers and otherswho see you for regular care may have suggestions.

• Find out how you may or may not be covered byinsurance. The Federal Medicare program and pri-vate “Medigap” insurance only offer short-term homehealth and nursing home benefits.

Be aware that figuring out care for the long termisn’t easy. Needs may change over time. What worked6 months ago may no longer apply. Insurance cover-age is often very limited and families may have prob-lems paying for services. In addition, rules about pro-grams and benefits change, and it’s hard to knowfrom one year to the next what may be available.

A need for more careAt some point, support from family,friends or local meal or transportation

programs may not be enough. If youneed a lot of help with everydayactivities, you may need to moveto a place where care is availablearound-the-clock. There are twotypes of residential care:

• Assisted living arrangementsare available in large apartmentor hotel-like buildings or can be

set up as “board and care” homesfor a small number of people. They

offer different levels of care, but ofteninclude meals, recreation, security and

help with bathing, dressing, medicationand housekeeping.

• Skilled nursing facilities — “nursing homes” —provide 24-hour services and supervision. They pro-vide medical care and rehabilitation for residents,who are mostly very frail or suffer from the laterstages of dementia. Sometimes, health careproviders offer different levels of care at one site.These “continuing care communities” often locate anassisted living facility next to a nursing home so thatpeople can move from one type of care to another ifnecessary. Several offer programs for couples, tryingto meet needs when one spouse is doing well but theother has become disabled.Finding the right place

To find the residential program that’s best for you:• Ask questions. Find out about specific facilities in

your area. Doctors, friends and relatives, local hospi-tal discharge planners and social workers, and reli-gious organizations can help. Other types of residen-tial arrangements, like “board and care” homes, do notfollow the same Federal, state or local licensingrequirements or regulations as nursing homes. Talk topeople in your community or local social service agen-cies to find out which facilities seem to be well run.

• Call. Contact the places that interest you. Askbasic questions about vacancies, number of resi-dents, costs and method of payment, and participa-tion in Medicare and Medicaid. Also think aboutwhat’s important to you, such as transportation,meals, housekeeping, activities, special units forAlzheimer’s disease, or medication policies.

• Visit. When you find a place that seems right, gotalk to the staff, residents and, if possible, familymembers of residents. Set up an appointment, butalso go unannounced and at different times of theday. See if the staff treats residents with respect andtries to meet the needs of each person. Check if thebuilding is clean and safe. Are residents restrainedin any way? Are social activities and exercise pro-grams offered and enjoyed? Do residents have per-sonal privacy? Is the facility secure for people andtheir belongings? Eat a meal there to see if you likethe food.

• Understand. Once you have made a choice, besure you understand the facility’s contract andfinancial agreement. It’s a good idea to have a lawyer

Leaves scattered and jumped into theditch. They snuggled into the ever-grow-ing pile. The wind switched directionsand the raked leaves raced back to thestarting side of the pile.

The fall season is my favorite, but itdoes remind me that there may be someunpleasant weather just ahead. Often-times adjustments must be made toaccommodate the changing weather.Even as Stan removed the mower deckfrom our lawn tractor and installed thesnow blower attachment in preparationfor the coming snow, other changes maybe in store.

The Lord hinted that there may be some valleyexperiences in store for me. Just the writing of thiscolumn is much more of a struggle for me at thistime. It has always been a joy to write for The Land,and I would like to continue, but am unsure if Ishould.

For the last several months I have been seeing mydoctor here in Blue Earth, Minn., about memoryloss and other symptoms that I am experiencing.Last week he ordered blood work and an MRI of my

brain. The hospital called and said thatthe MRI looked good, but we don’t knowabout the blood work yet.

We meet with my doctor on Nov. 16 toreview the findings of the blood work andMRI. Perhaps at that point we will be ableto decide on a plan of action. I am afraidof the unknown but I do know that, what-ever lies ahead, the Lord will be there tosee me through.

Writing has always come naturally tome, and journaling is something that Ienjoy doing. The plan is to keep some-thing of a record of my experiences deal-

ing with this latest challenge — if I can remember todo it!

This certainly has been a beautiful fall, and wehave enjoyed many short trips in the car just toenjoy the sunshine and the surrounding beauty. Atthis time, most all fields are harvested, and some ofthe plowing is completed. Fall is coming to an end,the trees are leafless, and the days are short.

Winter does have its own beauty, and that will beevident soon. I think that we are prepared for it and

look forward to long nights in our cozy living room.The joy of the Christmas season is also a very beau-tiful part winter. It seems like just a little taste ofthe joy that will be ours when Jesus returns for us!

To everything there is a season, and a time to everypurpose under heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1

Horses have a legendary history of help-ing mankind in all types of weather, prov-ing that they can withstand more thanmost seasons dish out. However, it isimportant to take precautionary meas-ures before each season to ensure thehealth and happiness of your horse.

Fall is no different, as certain weatherconditions and pesky visitors at thistime of year can possibly cause harm toyour horse’s health.

Leslie Easterwood, clinical assistantprofessor at the Texas A&M College of VeterinaryMedicine & Biomedical Sciences, said the firstthing to remember after the first freeze is to vacci-nate your horse.

Vaccinations for the following viruses and dis-eases are essential for the health of your horse:Venezuelan, Eastern and Western Encephalitis;Tetanus Toxoid; West Nile Virus; Strep; EquineInfluenza; Rhinopnuemonitis; and Rabies (shouldonly be given once a year).

“The most commonly encountered fall virus isWest Nile Virus,” Easterwood said. “The otherviruses and bacterial organisms are year-round, soit is important to have a year-round vaccinationprotocol.”

Deworming should also be year-round. It is goodto have a deworming schedule similar with yourvaccination schedule to ensure that all necessaryprecautions are taken care of.

“The most commonly encountered internalparasite that we deworm for specifically inthe fall is Bots,” Easterwood said. “The fly vec-

tor responsible for Bots is usually less promi-nent in the winter, so we try to clear the adultBots out of the gastrointestinal tract after thefirst freeze. All other internal parasites areencountered year-round, so it is important to

have a year-round deworming protocol.”Another important factor to keep in mind

as the colder weather approaches is supply-ing appealing drinking water. The colder

weather makes the cold drinking water lessattractive to horses. Less water intake leads todehydration, and secondarily to colic. To avoid theseside effects, owners can add electrolyte powder tothe horse’s daily grain ration.

“Increased water intake, can also be accomplishedby heating the water that is offered, but this optionis rarely practical for most horse owners,” Easter-wood added. “Electric water bucket warming devicesare commercially available.”

The weather does not start to take a drastic dropin temperature until the winter months. However,starting protection plans in the fall is a good idea incase a freeze happens early. Easterwood recom-mends a wind break for the horses and a place tokeep them dry when the weather is wet and cold.

Blankets are another popular option for horseowners. However, Easterwood notes that blanketsare not necessary for every horse.

“For the vast majority of horses, it will never be toocold for them to live outside with no blanket,” Easter-wood said. “Horses survive in very harsh winter envi-ronments with their natural hair coat. Those horsesthat would benefit from blanketing are those that arethin, debilitated, ill or have no natural hair coat.”

“We artificially keep our show horses thin-hairedin the winter so that we can show them with nohair,” Easterwood added. “Show horses definitelybenefit from blanketing in the winter, but mosthorses who are allowed to grow a natural hair coatdo not need to be blanketed at all.”

Easterwood points out horses can actually sweatand overheat under blankets that are left on duringthe day when the temperature warms up. Especiallyin Texas, where the temperature varies significantlythroughout the day, it would be best to refrain fromblanketing healthy non-show horses.

One last recommendation in the fall is to have atrained veterinarian check your horse’s teeth toensure they are healthy.

“Horses are going to need more energy to functionin the rigors of winter weather,” Easterwood said.“They will need more energy and fiber in order tokeep their body temperatures warm. For this rea-son, having the teeth in good shape is essential.”

Fall preparation is necessary for a healthy and happylife in the winter. If you follow these simple guidelinesand listen to the advice of your veterinarian your horseshould be in tip top shape for the winter months.

Local Corn and Soybean Price Index

Grain prices are effective cash close on Nov. 18. The price index chart compares an average of most recently reported local cash prices with the same average for a year ago.*Cash grain price change represents a two-week period.

Grain AnglesQuestions all got

answeredThe soybean markets have seen a steady decline

in price over the last two months, while corn hastaken its “hit” just in the last few days.

As we look back on this past year, it is helpful toremember the anxiety that the markets were feel-ing during the growing season.We asked questions about thesupply and demand for grain.Would we have enough corn tomake through the year? Whatwill happen if we run out of corn?Will we have to choose betweenlivestock and fuel? These werequestions that were hotlydebated and generated fear inmany areas of the markets.

We now know that we did notrun out of corn. All needs weremet and the “pipeline” did notrun dry as many feared. We evenhad some rather challenging growing conditions.

Yet we raised the fourth largest corn crop in U.S.history. Livestock producers became creative indesigning feed rations that utilized non-traditionalingredients. The byproduct of grain-based ethanol(dry distillers grain) has become a larger part ofmany livestock rations. Unfortunately many of theethanol critics do not give the industry much crediton this aspect of production.

The point is that, the agricultural production com-munity has met the challenge of feeding and cloth-ing a hungry world. New genetic advancementshave given the grain and livestock sectors a muchmore efficient growing opportunity.

Critics will grouse about the genetic modification

Grain OutlookCheap wheat, cornreplacing U.S. corn

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing Nov. 18.

CORN — Last week ended with a whimper, andthis week it turned into a whine.

December corn finally broke out of its $6.30 to$6.65 range in a big way to thedownside. Another week of dis-appointing export sales mayhave been the last straw in tip-ping to the downside. Competi-tion from cheap world feed wheatand cheap corn from the Ukraineare replacing U.S. corn in theexport markets. The expirationof December options scheduledfor the day after Thanksgivingmay also be acting as a magnet todraw prices closer to $6, which iswhere the large open interestlies.

This sharp pullback in prices was in spite of strongbasis levels and tightening spreads. Country sellingturned almost completely off as flat prices declined.Funds were selling all week.

Ethanol production for the week was strong at916,000 barrels per day. Ethanol stocks hit 719 mil-lion gallons, up nearly 30 million gallons in a week.The blender tax credit is due to expire at the end ofthe year.

Is this market building stocks that will hit thestreet after the first of the year? Export sales wereonly 8.2 million bushels when we need nearly 20 mil-lion bushels per week to achieve the U.S. Departmentof Agriculture 1.6 million bushel export forecast.

Livestock AnglesNo dull moments

with livestockOne thing about the livestock markets — there

never seems to be a dull moment any more.Sharp violent moves seem to be the norm lately

rather than the exception. With the uneasiness in theworld economic situation, it does not appear thesemarkets will settle down anytimesoon.

The cattle market has been themost erratic during the past fewweeks. First trying to rally undera strong surge in cash prices andthe futures failing to hold therally and dropping back to lowsnot seen since the beginning ofNovember.

Several factors are influencingthe futures market these days inspite of the firm cash trade. Itappears the index and hedgefunds are liquidating theirfutures positions which are heavy on the long sideand this has put pressure on the market.

The fact that the beef cutout value has rallied tothe mid-$190 per hundredweight level but the vol-ume in the box beef trade has slowed to the lightestlevels of the year puts into question the demand forbeef at these higher prices.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture released themonthly Cattle on Feed report on Nov. 18. Theresults, in comparison to a year ago, are: on feed, 104percent; placed during October, 99 percent; marketedduring October, 103 percent.

The report was seen as neutral to friendly by thetrade, mainly from the marketed number. The obsta-cle facing the cattle market is the demand not the

NYSTROM, from pg. 1Cweek to drive the market,but this story has not ended.Greece is still in the spotlight, but hasbeen joined by Italy and Spain aswell. Their borrowing costs are push-ing the 7 percent of GDP level, whichthe financial community considersunsustainable.

OUTLOOK: Basis and spreads aredoing the work to encourage corn into

the pipeline, butfrom the growers’

standpoint it’susually flat price that counts. Thismeans until the board recovers or thecalendar determines the need for cash,farmer sales will likely stay thin.

Competition from Ukrainian cornand world feed wheat will keep exportsales sluggish, but after this week’splunge, buying interest may rebound.Domestic demand is an on-going

bright spot. The range hasnow expanded to $5.75to $6.30/$6.65 for theDecember contract.December cornthis weekcrashed 28 1/4cents lower tosettle at $6.101/4 per bushel.

SOYBEANS— After chal-lenging har-vest lows lastweek, soybeansrallied early inthe week, only tohave those gainswiped out as the dollarsoared and in spite ofsales to China and a spike incrude oil prices.

When the dust settled, Januarybeans were only down 7 1/4 cents forthe week at $11.68 1/4 per bushel.South American weather has beenkind to planting and development.Both corn and bean acres will expandin Argentina and Brazil this year.

China stepped in and bought544,000 metric tons of U.S. beans fortheir reserve this week. China’s crushmargins have been less than stellar,prompting ideas we’ll see their ship-ping pace slow into the end of the year.Our outlook that included the possibil-ity of beans drifting to $11.50/$11 waseffectively filled when January tradedto $11.56 1/2 this week.

We’ll leave the next support at $11for the time being. We need demand toimprove, crush margins to increase orSouth American weather to decline togive this market a boost or we may betesting the $11 area.

Export sales were within expecta-tions this week at 27.5 million bushels,but we are still 35 percent behind lastyear’s pace. If confidence returns to the

world financial scene, anyweakness in the U.S. dol-

lar could attract addi-tional export busi-

ness. Don’t neglectkeeping up onworld events.

Crude oilenjoyed a hugejump this weekto $103.37when it wasannounced thata Cushing,

Okla., (the deliv-ery point for WTI

crude oil on theNymex) to the Gulf

pipeline would bereversed to flow south by

the second quarter of 2012.It’s expected to begin with 150,000

barrels per day and increase to400,000 barrels per day by the end of2013.

This surge was short lived as higherEuropean borrowing costs overshad-owed the market and crude oilretreated back under $100 per barrel.

OUTLOOK: Slow demand, goodSouth American weather, and a firmU.S. dollar should keep soybeans onthe defensive in general. The events inEurope will also influence our direc-tion as we head into a holiday-short-ened week to celebrate Thanksgiving.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes forthe week ended Nov. 18: December Min-neapolis wheat was 9 1/4 cents lower,Chicago was down 18 1/2 cents andKansas City dropped 35 1/2 cents.Crude oil ended the week down $1.58at $97.41 after hitting $103.37, heatingoil crashed nearly 14 cents, gasolinefell 12 1/2 cents and natural gas plum-meted almost 27 cents. As of middayNov. 18, the Dow was down 340 pointsfor the week, gold was $61.70 lower,and the U.S. dollar gained a full pointfor the week.

TEALE, from pg. 1Csupply in the months ahead. Withcompetitive meats a better overallvalue and poor economic conditions,the prospect for higher price levelsseem remote.

Therefore, producers should use thepremiums offered to lock-in invento-ries through at least the end of theyear.

The hog market which has been slid-ing since August continues to remainin a defensive condition.

Cash prices have now dipped under$80/cwt. after trading above $100/cwt.several months ago. The ample supplyof hogs has weighed heavy on the liveprices and cold storage supplies arealso elevated, pushing pork cutouts

lower. As the pork cutouts have movedlower there has been a steady increasein the movement of product which isencouraging.

Obviously, the lower pork cuts areattracting more retail interest in com-parison to beef, which is more thantwice the price per pound at the whole-sale level. Pork faces the same problemas the rest of the meats, with a saggingeconomy, will the demand for meat beable to be maintained at current levels.

The possibility of hogs finding sup-port at the lower levels is entirely pos-sible, but any turnaround will likelyonly be a short-term recovery. Thiswould suggest that producers shouldbe on the defensive and use rallies andthe premiums offered at the currenttime to protect their inventories.

Is this a perfect world of agricultural production?No, it is not. There will always be room for improve-ment and working toward sustainability. If we haveto wait for everything to be perfect, we will nevermake any advancement. It is only through trial anderror that we will be able to find the breakthroughs inlife sciences. The naysayers rarely get much done inthe way of producing positive results in the advance-ments in the human condition.

I remember visiting with my Grandpa one time aboutmy fear for taking a risk in life. He asked me to thinkabout the box turtles that live out in native grass pasture.

He asked me what a turtle does when it gets scared. Itold him that the turtles pull all of their legs,head and tailinto their shells. Grandpa then asked me how much a tur-tle can accomplish when they are in that state. He wenton to point out that a turtle can only make progress if it iswilling to stick its neck out and use their legs to propelthem forward. At that time, I knew that I had been giftedwith his country wisdom once again.

As we are in this Thanksgiving season, we must givethanks for all of those in the agricultural community whoare willing to “stick their necks out” and make progressin advancing our production practices.We must be mind-ful of best practices and safety, while unleashing thepower of human creativity. We have much to be thankfulfor, given the bounty that we experience.

An annuity is a con-tract between aninvestor and an insur-ance company.

“In exchange for a lump sum or series of payments,the insurance company agrees to make regular pay-ments back to you for a fixed period of time (e.g., 20years) or for the life of you or you and your benefici-ary,” said Brenda Schmitt, family finance specialistfor Iowa State University Extension.

The payments can begin immediately or at a speci-fied date. Typically annuities offer tax-deferredgrowth of earnings and in most cases they may offer adeath benefit that will pay your beneficiary a guaran-teed minimum amount, such as your total purchasepayments. Annuities are most often purchased forfuture retirement income.

With a fixed annuity the insurance company guar-antees a fixed rate of interest for a specified period oftime (e.g., a period of one to five years after purchase)and then may be adjusted annually according to mar-ket conditions. A fixed annuity is an insurance prod-uct and so is regulated by the state insurance com-mission.

With a variable annuity you select how you want toinvest your payments from a range of investmentoptions — typically mutual funds. The rate of returnand the amount of the periodic payments you willeventually receive may vary depending on the per-formance of the investment options you haveselected. Variable annuities, although issued by

Annuities —investing now forfuture retirement

Contact your sales rep. of The Land

ANNUITIES, from pg. 4C insurance companies, are con-sidered securities due to therisk being born by the purchaser. So, these products areregulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission,the National Association of Security Dealers and stateinsurance commissions. All of these regulators requirethat the product be suitable for the purchaser.

There are several things to be aware of before youinvest in a variable annuity, Schmitt said. With-drawals can be made after age 59 1/2 but the with-drawals are taxed as ordinary income at your regu-lar tax rate, which can be as high as 35 percent, asopposed to long-term capital gains taxed at 15 per-cent. Withdrawals prior to age 59 1/2 are subject toincome tax and a 10-percent penalty.

“The fees associated with variable annuities can bea concern,” Schmitt said. “You may pay an annual feeon the variable annuity subaccounts that is higherthan the average mutual fund fee. Also there may besales charges on the subaccounts and an annual con-tract charge. Additionally, surrender fees should beconsidered. Your money is locked up for several yearsand if you withdraw prior to that time, you may paya surrender fee that may be 10 percent or more.”

If you die with money remaining in an annuity,your beneficiary will have to pay any taxes not yetpaid. “Compare this with owning a mutual fundwhere the beneficiary may cash them in and pay notax,” Schmitt said.

If after considering the pros and cons you still wantto invest in a variable annuity, it is important to buyone with low costs and good investment options. TheSEC requires that an investor be given a prospectusprior to investing in a variable annuity.

“Read it carefully because it will give you impor-tant information including fees and other charges,investment options, death benefits, and annual pay-

out options,” Schmitt said.The third type of annuity, an equity-indexed

annuity, is a more complicated product. Theinterest earned is linked to a stock index such as theStandard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index(the S&P 500). Using a formula, the interest is calcu-lated based on changes in the index to which theannuity is linked. This annuity pays a minimumguaranteed rate of interest, but it may be higher ifthe index increases. For example, an equity-indexedannuity might give you 85 percent of the annualincrease in the S&P 500 with a maximum of 12 per-cent a year and a minimum of 3 percent. Due to thefixed rate, these products are regulated by stateinsurance commissions.

Investors should always understand the product theyare purchasing and the long-term nature of the pur-chase when considering any annuity. Always ask youragent for an explanation of anything you don’t under-stand. Review the contract and compare information forsimilar contracts, as well as comparing products.

This column was writtenfor the marketing week end-ing Nov. 18.

The big bang you heardFriday was no theory.

It was cheese prices inChicago as the cash mar-kets awaited the OctoberMilk Production report thatafternoon. After gaining anickel earlier in the weekthe 40-pound blocks tum-bled 15.25 cents on onelone offer on the Fri-day before Thanksgiv-ing and closed at$1.8325 per pound, down a net 11.75cents on the week, but still 38.75 centsabove a year ago.

The 500-pound barrels ended at$1.87, down 12.5 on the day, 11 centson the week, but still 44 cents above ayear ago. Only four cars of blocktraded hands on the week and two ofbarrel. The National Agricultural Sta-tistics Service block price jumped 3.9cents, averaging $1.7646, while thebarrels averaged $1.8209, up 6.2cents.

■

The California Milk ProducersCouncil’s Nov. 11 newsletter, citing theU.S. Department of Agriculture’sDairy Market News, reported that bar-rel cheese supplies for processing aretight but adds “that doesn’t answerthe question whether the tightness isfrom a supply decrease or an unex-pected increase in demand.”

The MPC reports that other natural

cheeses are also tight, andsaid “that’s good to knowbecause the price inversionbetween blocks and barrels,which is persisting throughrecent market ups anddowns, sometimes portendssharp price corrections. Wedo know domestic demandfor all kinds of cheeseappears to be strong leadinginto what has become theheaviest yearly four months

for sales, and cheese pro-duction, through Sep-tember, had slackened.”

Wholesalers have mostly completedtheir part in filling orders for the firstof three major upcoming holidays andare getting ready for the next round,expected to begin after a final account-ing is made after Thanksgiving. TheDMN said sales are doing well in allregions, helped by promotional pricesand feature ads for store and nationalbrands, and food service sales are doingbetter than expected.

■

Cash butter closed Nov. 18 at its low-est level since December 2010; $1.6475,down 9.25 cents on the week, and 24.25cents below a year ago when it lost adime that week, 22 cents the followingweek, and another 6 after that, to landat $1.61. Only one car sold all week.NASS butter averaged $1.8382, up 0.1cent.

Butter prices have temporarily stabi-lized and world prices have increased,according to e-Dairy economist BillBrooks. The Nov. 15 GDT weighted-

average price for anhydrous milk fatrose 8 percent, but the equivalent 80percent butter fat price is still lessthan $1.31, Brooks said. “Our butterprices are still a fair amount aboveinternational prices, so opportunitiesfor imports remain.”

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closedthe week at $1.45, up a penny and ahalf. Extra Grade held all week at$1.48. NASS powder averaged $1.4860,up 1.4 cents, and the amazing drywhey price inched 0.4 cent higher, to63.6 cents/lb., the highest in four years.The peak was 79.33 cents in April2007.

The MPC adds that the market fordry whey “continues to amaze.” Domes-tic demand is “very good,” according toDMN, and supplies are tight. Demandfor export is outstanding. Productiondoes not seem to be keeping up withdemand, in part because cheese pro-duction is lagging and in part becausea greater share of liquid whey is beingshunted off for higher concentratedproducts.

■

Jerry Dryer’s Dairy and Food MarketAnalyst reports that U.S. cheeseexports remained strong in Septemberdespite sharply higher prices whileother dairy volumes were generallylower.

September cheese shipments totaled34.3 million pounds, up 22 percentfrom 2010, at an average price of$2.07/lb. The average price for thebenchmark, Cheddar price, was $2.05.January through September cheeseexports were up 32 percent; Dryer said,and third quarter, 2011 exports wereup 3 percent, averaging $2.07; just likeSeptember.

An estimated 7.7 million pounds ofcheese (22 percent of the total) left thecountry with some assistance fromCooperatives Working Together in Sep-tember. An estimated 22 millionpounds was/is due for assistance dur-ing the fourth quarter of this year,according to Dryer’s estimates, andnonfat dry milk/skim milk powdershipments were down 11 percent inSeptember from a year ago, still up 2percent for the quarter and up 24 per-cent for the year, he said.

■

Butter shipments were sharply lowerduring both September and the thirdquarter but up 23 percent for the firstnine months of this year. The worldprice continues to erode, Dryer warned,which spells problems for U.S. butter

exports near-term.The Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s

Nov. 11 Daily Dairy Report said inter-national cheese prices are moving inthe opposite direction U.S. prices are.Oceania cheddar is trading in a widerange, $1.47 to $2.04, down nearly 50cents on the low end of the range overthe last 10 weeks, according to DMN.

The DMN said “Oceania regioncheese output, along with all othermanufactured dairy products, is in fullswing.” International butter prices areweaker as well. Oceania butter ispegged at $1.63 to $1.86, down 25 centsin 10 weeks, and the lowest price sincespring 2010. World milk powder pricesare steady.

But, Global Dairy Trade auctionprices increased across almost all prod-uct categories this week, according tothe DDR. The weighted average pricefor skim milk powder was $1.52/lb., up1.7 percent from the Nov. 1 auction.

Whole milk powder was $1.62/lb., up2.4 percent; anhydrous milk fat was$1.62, up 8 percent; and cheddar cheesefor industrial use was up 3.7 percent,to $1.60. The trade-weighted index forall products was up 2.6 percent, butjust the second increase since earlyJune, according to the DDR.

Dairy farmers and industry peoplemet in San Diego this week for thejoint annual meeting of the NationalDairy Promotion and Research Board,National Milk Producers Federationand United Dairy Industry Association.

Industry leaders talked promotion,marketing, exports, innovation, productand sustainability research, partner-ships, collaboration, dairy nutrition,health and wellness, globalization andfood safety, according to Western Dairy-Business magazine editor Ron Goble inDairyLine, and “the mood was upbeat.”

The dairy checkoff ’s strategy of work-ing with food and dairy industry part-ners is helping dairy producers bydirectly contributing to more than 7billion additional pounds of milk salessince January 2010, Goble said.

MIELKE MARKETWEEKLY

By Lee Mielke

See MIELKE, pg. 7C

MIELKE, from pg. 6Cdent and CEO JerryKozak, discussed theFoundation for the Future proposalwhich has evolved into the Dairy Secu-rity Act of 2011 (HR 3062). They saidthat the NMPF has done what it can tobring the issue to the front door of Con-gress and now it’s up to dairy produc-ers to encourage their representativesto get it through the legislative process.

The CWT export assistance programhas achieved its mandated 70 percentparticipation and will be renewed for2012-13 at 2 cents per hundredweight.Chris Galen said on DairyLine thatthis year’s program had been operatingfrom carryover funds from the previousyear but the 2012 program will havenew money from new membershipsand that the funds will be used mostlyfor cheese exports but also for butter-fat, giving important access to foreignmarkets.

Exports are a “prime mover behindfarm prices, he said, “and the morecommitment we get from farmers toCWT the better off everyone is becauseit’s a rising tide that lifts everyone’smilk price.”

Dairy policy inclusion in the budgetprocess drew fire from the Interna-tional Dairy Foods Association’s ConnieTipton, who in a press release said,“the way the super committee processis being used to enact the next farmbill is wrong.”

The Budget Control Act directed theauthorizing committees to submit theirrecommendations and legislative lan-guage to the Joint Select Committee onDeficit Reduction by Oct. 15.

Tipton said, “we now are a monthpast that deadline and only a week

away from the dead-line for completing thedeficit reduction bill,

and this farm bill has yet to see thelight of day.

“Making matters worse, leaders ofthe agriculture committees have indi-cated that portions of the Dairy Secu-rity Act will be part of this still-secretfarm bill recommendation,” she said. “Ifso, the super committee is on the vergeof making major changes to the dairyindustry that will impact millions ofour citizens.”

■

The USDA’s latest Livestock, Dairy,and Poultry Outlook predicts that U.S.milk production will rise in 2012, albeitat a slower rate than the last twoyears.

The dairy herd will be slightlysmaller in 2012, but increased milk percow will boost milk production above2011. It warned that higher availabil-ity of dairy products worldwide com-bines with additional U.S. supplies topressure product prices next year.

While third-quarter cow numberswere slightly lower than October pro-jections, the U.S. herd size estimateremains at 9.2 million cows for thisyear and is expected to slip to 9.185million in 2012. Milk per cow is fore-cast higher than October’s forecast,largely offsetting the lower than fore-cast third-quarter cow number. Nextyear’s output is forecast at 198.4 bil-lion, unchanged from October.

Output per cow in 2012 was forecastat 21,600 pounds, up from the 21,305pounds expected this year. The increasein milk per cow forecast in 2012 andthe additional milking day more thanoffsets the small projected decline in

cow numbers, according to the USDA,and accounts for the overall increasedmilk production next year.

Checking demand, September fluidmilk sales were estimated at about 4.5billion pounds, according to the USDA,down 2.3 percent from September 2010after adjusting for calendar composi-tion. Estimated sales of conventionalfluid milk products decreased 1.3 per-cent from September 2010 while esti-mated sales of organic fluid productsincreased 8.9 percent. The DDR addsthat year-to-date milk sales are off 1.4percent and remain on track for a 27-year low. Ouch!

■

Looking “back to the futures” com-bined with the announced federal orderClass III prices, the Class III contract’saverage for the last half of 2011 was at$18.72 on Sept. 29; $19.16 on Oct. 7;$18.97 on Oct. 14; $19.12 on Oct. 21;$19.36 on Oct. 28 and $19.54 on Nov. 4.

The average for the first six monthsof 2012 stood at $16.63 on Nov. 4;$16.72 on Nov. 11 and was around$16.64 at our deadline on Nov. 18.

In other milk prices; the DecemberFederal order Class I base milk price is$18.47/cwt., up 2 cents from November,$1.51 above December 2010, andequates to about $1.59 per gallon. TheClass I price averaged $19.13 in 2011,up from 2010’s $15.35 and a disastrous$11.48 in 2009.

Our sources do not foresee a MilkIncome Loss Contract payment for pro-ducers in December.

The NASS-surveyed butter price

averaged $1.8388/lb., up 8.4 cents.Nonfat dry milk averaged $1.4783,down a nickel and a half. Cheese aver-aged $1.7788, up 3.5 cents, and drywhey averaged 63.42 cents, up 2.2cents.

■

U.S. milk production is holdingmostly steady to slightly higher in theSouthwest with levels trending abovea year ago, according to the USDA’sweekly update. Weather has beenmoderate and not a factor to milkcows. Northwest output is trendingtoward seasonal low levels with milkcomponents building. Weather hasbeen favorable for cows in Utah andIdaho and production steady to higher.

Midwest milk output has been spo-radically moving higher and lower atwhat is thought to be the lowestintake levels of the year. Processorsare reaching to other states andregions for milk supplies. Easternmilk flow is marginally higher.

The milk production season in theOceania region is at or on the downside of seasonal peak levels. NewZealand output peaked about the sec-ond week of October and receipts atmanufacturing facilities are indicatingdeclines.

Aggression amongsows at mixing is amajor concern forgroup-gestation housing systemsbecause it can cause injuries,

increase cortisol levelsand reduce pregnancy

rate of the sows. Asaggression among unfamiliar pigs isnecessary to develop a dominant hier-

archy within a group, a minimallevel of aggression in sows at mix-ing cannot be eliminated.

So our management strategiesshould focus on protecting vulner-able sows from aggression. In mostgroup-housing systems, gilts arehoused separately to preventaggression from older sows. Afterfirst farrowing, these young sows(first parity sows) are usuallyhoused in pens with older sows.

Since young sows are smallerthan mature sows, with the aver-age body weight approximately 75percent of the body weight ofmature sows, they are usuallysubordinate in group-housing sys-tems. They lose most fights at mixing,suffer more injuries and have highercortisol levels than mature sows. Theinitial aggression results in the subor-dinate young sows becoming fearful offurther conflicts while attempting toobtain feed and water which leads toinadequate feed intake and reproduc-tive failure.

Failure of conception and lamenesscaused by initial aggression canresult in young sows being culled pre-maturely, which reduces lifetime pro-ductivity and production efficiency ofa sow herd. In terms of body weightand size, first paritysows are more likegilts rather thanmature sows. So itmay be appropriateto house first paritysows in gilt-pensrather than in sow-pens to preventthese young sows fromaggression so that theirperformance and welfarewould not be compro-mised in group-housingsystems.

At the West CentralResearch and OutreachCenter, we have beenconducting several research projectson reducing aggression among gestat-ing sows in group-housing systems.One of our research projects was toinvestigate whether grouping sows byparity can improve performance andwell-being of young sows in group-housing systems.

This two-year project was finan-cially supported by the MinnesotaPork Board. We have recently com-pleted the animal trial on our

research farm. The preliminary dataindicate that by housing young sows(first parity) in gilt-pens, young sowshad less skin lesions caused byaggression at mixing compared withyoung sows in sow-pens. Althoughyoung sows in gilt-pens were involvedin more fights, they won more fightscompared to young sows in sow-pens.

These young sows in gilt-pens alsohad greater farrowing rate (the num-ber of sows farrowed as a percentageof the number of sows used for breed-ing), and gained greater weight dur-ing the gestation period comparedwith young sows in sow-pens. Allthese results suggest that grouping

sows by parity canimprove perform-ance and well-being of youngsows in group-ges-tation housing sys-tems.

The improve-ment of perform-ance in young sowscan contribute toimproved lifetimeproductivity ofthese sows, andultimately, con-tribute toimproved produc-

tion efficiency of a sow herd usinggroup housing systems.

Growing an acre of corn, soybeans orwheat in 2012 will cost producers alot more than it did this year, says aPurdue Extension agricultural economist.

Farmland rental costs and volatile fertilizer pricesare the two primary drivers of increasing costs, and,according to Alan Miller, seed prices also will be up 5percent to 10 percent in the coming year. Pesticideprices will vary by product.

“Preliminary budgets show variable costs for rota-tion corn increasing by 16 percent, soybeans by 15percent and wheat by 12 percent as compared withour January 2011 budgets,” Miller said.

Estimates show that despite a recent decline incorn and soybean prices, the income potential fromcontinuous corn on average-yield ground is higherrelative to rotation soybeans than in most years.Miller said the income potential may be even betterfor continuous corn on Indiana’s best farm ground.

“The markets are still signaling that they wantmore corn in 2012, so the question is whether farm-ers will listen,” he said. “There probably will be morecorn next year.”

Even with input costs up in 2012, Miller said farm-ers can begin to manage their profit margins now,such as by pricing fertilizer for 2012. Fertilizer pricesare lower this fall than they are expected to be next

spring.

Another area Miller said growersshould be looking at is cash rents.

“It’s hard to figure out a fair amount of cash rent,especially in an environment with so much potentialfor quick commodity price declines and input pricesurges,” he said. “We don’t want to see another 2009where grain prices dropped, costs increased andprofitability disappeared. It’s a challenging riskmanagement environment for the farmers.”

He urged farmers to be cautious and to try to holddown costs by thinking through all of their pur-chases.

“Commodity producers need to still be working onbeing low-cost producers on a cost-per-bushel-pro-duced basis,” Miller said. “Growers need to managethe expected margin between the selling price of thecorn and their costs. Try to market to lock-in com-modity prices and to lock-in prices on purchasedinputs. Lock in profit margins and don’t give up mar-keting strategies.”

While many farmers may be tempted to take await-and-see attitude toward marketing the 2011crop, Miller said that might not be the best idea.Instead, he said, this is a good time to apply market-ing skills to the management of input pricing. If cropprices recover, demand for inputs and input prices

are likely to increase.

For cash rents, he said flexible lease agreementscould help both growers and landowners in avolatile period.

“Try to help landowners understand the marketand the volatility,” Miller said. “Possibly look at flex-ible lease agreements instead of locking in cashrents in case inputs increase and commodity pricesstay where they are at now or fall even further.”

The bottom line, he said, is that producer vulnera-bility is a concern heading into 2012. Growers needto be proactive in managing their input pricingbecause input prices could rise even more if cropprice prospects improve in the spring.

When Renville County, Minn.,farmer Jim Zenk attended the recentthree-day World Food Expo in Cologne,Germany, little did he realizehe was partaking in a “shortcourse” on the food chain ofagriculture around the world.

Zenk, a board member dele-gate on behalf of the NorthHarvest edible bean growers ofMinnesota and North Dakota,helped man a U.S. Dry BeanCouncil display at the food con-ference, which featured more than1,200 exhibitors, each with elaboratedisplays of specific food products. Youget some idea of the size of this eventby the simple fact that 11 separatebuildings are needed tohouse this show,billed as “Taste theFuture.”

“Many countriesfeatured entire pavil-ions devoted to prod-ucts of that particu-lar country,” Zenksaid. “The Greekpavilion was particu-larly elaborate butall they had to sellwas olive oil, feta, atraditional Greekcurd cheese with atradition dating backthousands of yearsand wine.” Yet thisostentatious displayseemed to irk theother Europeans whowere being called on tobail out the falteringGreek economy.

An exhibit from Sweden consisted ofa 10-foot sculptured ice bar. The prod-uct being tasted was special Swedishwines. Fortunately the elaborate barstools, also sculpted from solid ice, didhave cushioned seats.

The Jacobsen of Denmark exhibitfeatured fancy Danish cookies pack-aged in fancy Danish cans. Zenkobserved that crackers apparently area big food item worldwide. “Perhapsbecause wheat is a world commoditygrown in virtually every country,” hesaid, because crackers were a favoritesnack item at many of the exhibits.

Virtually every food company pro-vided samples of their wares.

“You could walk through the displaysand be snacking all day,” he said. “Ithought the best food samples were at

the U.S., Germany, Italy, Spain andFrance exhibits.” A Korean vendor fea-tured an elaborate mushroom display.

Though farm machinery was not fea-tured at this world food show,a WWII tractor called a LANZBulldog, totally restored andbrightly painted, was theattention getter of the Spree-wald Pickle Co., located about60 miles south of Berlin.

“Meats are big in Europe. Itwas amazing the many ven-dors with intriguing displaysof cured meats. Hams are

especially big. Most were displayedwith legs and hoofs intact. Stashed inspecial caves for 20 years apparently isthe standard curing process,” Zenksaid. He noted that bologna rolls typi-

cally measuredabout 6-feet longand 2-feet thick.“And freshly cutbaloney was stan-dard fare at most ofthe meat booths.”

“I was amazedthat some vendors,some countriesaren’t very big, yetthey have productsin the world market.I sometimes thinkthat we Americanfarmers sort of takeit for granted that ifwe produce it, some-one else will processit and get it intoworld markets. Thisexperience reallybrought home thefact that getting

your product, whatever it may be, intothe world food chain does indeed meanspending money, setting up a tradeshows, and showing the world exactlywhat you have,” Zenk said.

When food buyers and vendors foundout that a real, live American farmerwho grows edible beans was talkingbeans at the U.S. Dry Bean Councilexhibit, Zenk said, he had lots of visi-tors. “Fortunately most of the Euro-peans 50 years and younger speakvery good English so visiting withthese folks was a special treat.”

Talking beans is old hat for Zenk,who’s been growing edibles since 1970.He started with pinto beans butswitched to navy beans in the mid-’70swhen that market developed inRenville County because of new pro-cessing facilities at both Olivia andBird Island.

He’s bullish on edibles for 2012 sim-ply because of the fact that 2011 was aterrible production year in Minnesota,North Dakota and Michigan — thethree major states for edible beans inthe Midwest. His usual 180-acre cropis likely to be at least 200 acres in2012.

“And when production is down butdemand is great you know that pricesare in your favor,” Zenk said. “As meatprices ratchet up, edibles present agreat alternative in the family menubecause they are high protein and richin nutrition value.

“I think edible bean prices couldreach all-time highs going into 2012.There are contracts floating aroundout there over 40 cents a pound,mostly fixed to an 800-pound or 1,000-pound level. You don’t know what pricethe rest of the crop will earn, could be20 cents, and could be 50 cents. But theoutlook is very encouraging.”

He’s primarily a corn-soybean

grower but said edibles fit easily intohis rotation. White mold can be a dis-ease issue. Edibles are not GMO sothe convenience of Roundup doesn’twork but other herbicides do work.Zenk knows from experience that2,000-pound yields are doable; even3,500 pounds under “ideal growingconditions.”

Seed supply for edibles could be anissue for 2012 just as it likely will befor seed corn, perhaps even for qualitysoybean seed. Edibles for seed aremostly grown in higher elevations,like Montana and Idaho, primarily fora more disease-free environment. Heplants about 110,000 seeds per acre,generally figuring about a 50-poundseed bag per acre.

Genetics are much improved, espe-cially in standability. With a desiccantspray to “kill” green stems, straightcombining is the usual route. Usingflex heads on fields that have been

World Food Expo a tremendous learning experience

EXPO, from pg. 11Crolled, and dropping that header rightdown to the ground, gives a virtual 100percent harvest, even of those bottompods.

So does Zenk suggest other farmersconsider attending a world food show?

“Tremendously interesting. Andwhat a learning experience about get-ting foods into world markets. We wereone of the few actual commodityexhibitors so that created interest.Prospective buyers of U.S. edible beanswould fill out an information sheetabout their interests, staple their busi-ness card to the sheet. We asked thatthey both indicate what variety of beanthey were interested in, and whatquantity they were considering, evenwhat time of the year would they bebuying. So in an indirect way we werein Cologne marketing our product,” hesaid.

“Although we can’t be sure of poten-tial new sales from this event, we didgenerate 250 new leads. If only 5 per-cent of these new contacts become cus-tomers of U.S. edible beans our timewas well spent. This face-to-face expe-rience with bean buyers from all overthe world I’m certain made a differ-

ence.”And the obvious question: Did Zenk

drink more wine or beer when inCologne?

His ready answer, “More beer. It’shard to even get a glass of water inEurope. You just don’t see water foun-tains. And when you do buy a bottle ofwater it’s mineral water.”

Another observation by Zenk: “Obe-sity is not an issue. The only over-weight people were very likely Ameri-can.”

Even with the obvious German nameof Zenk, he’s only 75 percent German.“But apparently I look Germanbecause so often their conversation tome started in German. I learned theproper language for asking for a beer.And that was good enough,” Zenk said.

The scenic highlight of his Colognevisit was the Cologne Cathedral withconstruction dating back to the early1800s; it reportedly took 400 years toget this architectural wonder com-pleted. Even today scaffolding isalways in place on one of the manywalls of this historic structure simplybecause maintenance never ceases.

‘Face-to-face’ difference

Syngenta announced EnvironmentalProtection Agency registration of Cruis-erMaxx Advanced insecticide/fungicideseed treatment for use on soybeans.

CruiserMaxx Advanced joins the Cruis-erMaxx Beans brand family as a new for-mulation and offers the same benefits asCruiserMaxx Plus insecticide/fungicideseed treatment with an additional tech-nology that delivers improved applicationcharacteristics with less sticking andbridging of wet seed.

“CruiserMaxx Plus gave retailers inareas with high Pythium and Phytoph-thora a convenient all-in-one product thatcontained additional mefenoxam (ApronXL fungicide). CruiserMaxx Advancedgoes one step further,” said Marc George,brand asset lead for Syngenta.

“The additional technology in Cruiser-Maxx Advanced helps ensure more pre-cise application and even better coverageof the seed to further maximize early-season insect and disease protection.”

CruiserMaxx Beans insecticide/fun-gicide seed treatment combinationprovides protection against a broadspectrum of both soil-dwelling andfoliar-feeding insects, as well as allmajor seedborne and soilborne diseasepathogens for increased vigor, stand,speed to canopy and yield potential.

CruiserMaxx Plus and CruiserMaxxAdvanced are premix formulationsavailable to retailers applying Cruiser-Maxx Beans. The first season on the

market for CruiserMaxx Plus was2011. CruiserMaxx Advanced will beavailable for the 2012 planting season.

For more information about Cruiser-Maxx Advanced, contact your localSyngenta representative, and followthem on Twitter and Facebook.

It comes as an honor, but as no surprise, that thetom turkey for the traditional Thanksgiving presen-tation of a live turkey to the U.S. president camefrom Willmar, Minn., this year.

Minnesota is No. 1 nationally in turkey produc-

tion, with 47 million turkeys coming from its farms.The turkey industry and related businesses provide26,000 jobs.

The Dean of University of Minnesota Extension,Bev Durgan, has said the state leads turkey produc-

tion because Minnesota producers arequick to apply new research-basedideas and technology to theiroperations. Forward-thinkingentrepreneurs started thebusiness here early on,so the state now has asolid infrastructure ofhatcheries, farmsand processingplants.

Minnesota is alsoa major producer ofcrops used for turkeyfeed. Minnesota turkeyfarmers feed $75 millionworth of corn and $100 mil-lion worth of soybeans totheir turkeys each year.

Turkey feed is the major cost in the production ofturkeys for market. Extension, through research atthe Turkey Research Unit at UMore Park in Rose-mount, provides information for poultry nutrition-ists, assisting in the development of feeding pro-grams.

Periodically, turkey producers are challenged bythe high cost of feed ingredients, especially in recentmonths. Earlier research established nutrientrequirements and determined the interactionbetween feed ration and turkey house temperature,with an emphasis on optimizing feed programs andcontrolling feeding costs.

While the price of all feed ingredients hasincreased, the increase in the cost of corn is having abig impact because corn is a major source of energyin the diet for turkeys. Energy content determineshow efficiently feed is used; a lower-energy dietcauses the birds to eat more in order to meet theirenergy need; higher energy lowers feed intake.

Less corn in the diet results in less diet energybecause corn has the highest energy content of thegrains. Poultry don’t utilize fiber efficiently, so thenumber of ingredients that could be fed is limited. Alowered-energy diet with high-fiber content willincrease feed intake and perhaps slow gain, thuschanging overall production cost.

What can be done when the desired level of corncan’t be achieved? I have been researching this prob-lem with an emphasis on how best to replace some ofthe corn with distillers dried grains with solubles,derived from corn during ethanol production, as wellas determining how to improve energy-release fromother feed sources.

Basic information, such as feeding levels andnutrition, has been determined. New research isexamining characteristics of the fiber in DDGS toimprove its digestibility.

Connections within the community and financialresources are two of the most helpful ways for FFAchapters to grow their influence and reach. Now,chapters in 12 states can register for the opportunityto use one to get the other — thanks to the 2012 FFAChapter Challenge.

After a successful pilot program last year, FFA andMonsanto have expanded FFA Chapter Challenge to12 states: Alabama,Arkansas, Georgia,Illinois, Indiana,Iowa, Louisiana,Minnesota, Missis-sippi, Missouri, Ten-nessee and Texas.More than 3,300 FFAchapters and theircombined 236,000FFA members cantake part in the FFAChapter Challenge.

Beginning Jan. 16,registered FFA chap-ters in eligible stateswill be challenged toreach out to farmersin their communitiesand learn moreabout their liveli-hood. In turn, farmers will go online to vote for theirlocal FFA chapter.

The top 200 FFA chapters that make the most con-nections and received the most farmer votes by Feb.29 will receive a line of credit ranging from $1,000 to$2,500 from the National FFA Organization. As asponsor of the program, Monsanto will provide morethan $300,000 in incentives.

Before FFA chapters are eligible for the 2012 FFAChapter Challenge incentives, they must sign up.Registration for the 2012 FFA Chapter Challengeopened Oct. 19 and is available on the FFA ChapterChallenge website.

The award of a chapter monetary credit can beused throughout the year to buy FFA jackets andmerchandise, obtain banquet supplies and sendmembers to events like the Washington LeadershipConference or the national FFA convention andmore. Awards will go to the top 10 chapters in each ofthe 12 eligible states, plus 80 at-large winning chap-ters.

The chapter that makes the most connections ofany participating FFA chapter will win the grandprize — an all-expense paid trip for six students andan adviser to attend the 85th National FFA Conven-tion in Indianapolis in October plus a $2,500 FFAcertificate of credit.

“The expanded 2012 FFA Chapter Challenge is awonderful opportunity for students to reach out topeople in their community who make their living inagriculture and forge strong, meaningful relation-

ships,” said Rob Cooper, executive director of theNational FFA Foundation. “Monsanto’s support ofthis initiative will most definitely help build supportof local FFA chapters and ultimately help developtomorrow’s agriculture industry leaders.”

Winners will be announced March 9. For more infor-mation, log on to the FFA Chapter Challenge website.

An international team of scientistshas sequenced the genome of thelegume Medicago truncatula and inthe process learned that the genes con-trolling the plant’s symbiotic relation-ships with fungi and bacteria can betraced back nearly 60 million years.The team’s findings are publishedonline in the journal Nature.

The team, led by University of Min-nesota plant scientist Nevin Young,recently completed the multiyear effortto map the genome of Medicago truncat-ula, which scientists use as a model tounderstand the biology of legumes likesoybeans, alfalfa and peas. The project’sgoal, Young said, was to document howsymbiosis — the process that legumeslike Medicago use to create their ownnitrogen fertilizer through associationwith special bacteria — evolved.

The team of scientists found thatMedicago’s symbiosis can be traced tothe time when dinosaurs disappearedfrom the Earth. Apparently, Medicagoexperienced a massive genome duplica-tion leading to novel pairs of genesessential for symbiosis, Young said. Theteam found that ancient genes split into

pairs that separately control comple-mentary forms of symbiosis, enablingthe modern form of nitrogen fixationthat makes legumes so central in agri-cuture. For biologists, this phenomenonis known as “genetic sub-functionaliza-tion” and is considered an importantscientific theory about how novel genesevolve in both plants and animals.

While Medicago truncatula is notgrown as a food crop itself, it is closelyrelated to alfalfa and other ediblelegumes. Symbiosis in legumes is theworld’s largest source of natural soilfertilizer, so if plant breeders couldenhance legume symbiosis — or even

introduce it into other food crops —farmers would save money and reducethe environmental impact of appliedfertilizers. The recent discoveriesabout symbiosis revealed through thesequencing of Medicago’s genomecould be invaluable as scientists try toincrease global food production to feedan ever-expanding population.

“The Medicago genome sequence willbe an essential reference for bothapplied plant breeders and basic scien-tists. The insights we’ve gained into theevolution of symbiosis demonstrate thepower of plant genomics to reveal fasci-nating biological processes,” Young said.

Major U.S. research funding for map-ping the Medicago truncatula genome

was provided by the National ScienceFoundation and the Noble Foundation.

While the project was coordinated atthe University of Minnesota, itinvolved many partner institutions,including the University of Oklahoma;J. Craig Venter Institute; Genoscope;the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute;CNRS/INRA-Toulouse; John InnesCentre; Noble Foundation; Universityof Wageningen; MIPS-Munich; GhentUniversity; and the National Centerfor Genome Resources. The Naturepaper has 124 co-authors at 31 insti-tutions in eight countries.

Knockdown time: about 30 minutes.Doing the damage: a huge, 45,000-pound Komatsu excavator. Beingtrashed: a 36-foot x 68-footbarn built in the 1920s on theDoug and Ione Parsons farm inRedwood County, Minn.

The demise of this sturdystructure on Nov. 1 actuallystarted July 1 when 113 mphwinds blasted through thearea. That storm not onlyripped steel roofing off thisbarn but also gashed otherbuildings and twisted, mangled andknocked down dozens of trees sur-rounding the Parsons farmstead.

Precisely maneuvering the bigmachine was Rick Jeseritz of Cotton-wood, Minn., who started his excava-tion work in 1983 after returning frommilitary service. He served in the U.S.Army airborne branch with 56 para-chute jumps, often at night. Before hismilitary duty he did about 10 yearswith a tiling contractor, so working inthe dirt is old hat for Jeseritz.

Despite a wet spring that delayedlots of excavation work, he predicted2011 would be his biggest year ever,

helped along considerably with thatJuly 1 windstorm. He’s 57 years old,with hopes for a few more years beforehis 32-year-old son might be takingover the business.

Knocking down barns is vir-tually a piece of cake forJeseritz, who said he’s probablytaken down about 30 in his 28-year career. Before the knock-down is the digging of theburning and burying pit, logi-cally close to the soon-to-bedemolished old barn.

“That’s the biggest crap shootbecause you definitely want the dug-out pit big enough to handle all thetrash that doesn’t burn, plus concrete,and whatever else,” he said, adding, “ifit isn’t big enough we dig another.”Timber in the old Parsons barn burnedquickly and completely so concretefloors, the block silo, tin roofing andsiding and some other “yard junk’” con-veniently filled the pit, which wasback-filled with clay and black dirt thenext day.

Adjacent to the old barn stood a 14-foot x 45-foot-tall concrete block silo. It,too, was about to disappear. Obviously

BARN, from pg. 18Cthe big excavator with 30-foot grappleforks couldn’t reach the top of the oldsilo. Instead Jeseritz started at the bot-tom using the fingers of his excavatorto knock a hole into the bottom rung.

He said, “I notch out about 5 feet onthe side I hope the silo will tumble,then I work around both sides until thesilo finally tumbles.” But now heswitched to a 12-pound sledge hammerwith his own muscle power, mashingthe concrete blocks on both sides of thenotch.

“Swinging that sledge hammer isabout the only sweat on these jobs,”

Jeseritz said.How much capacity with the

Komatsu? The grapple on this big rigweighs 10,000 pounds, and when prop-erly balanced his rig can pick upanother 10,000 pounds. Besides the bigexcavator, he also uses a Komatsudozer and Komatsu skid loader. “Just avery reliable brand has been my expe-rience,” said Jeseritz, whose work isalways within a 40-mile radius of Cot-tonwood.

Old barn foundations can sometimesbe a challenge because often farmersused rock collected from their fields inthe foundation base before pouring theconcrete.

“They’re good company. They’re justfun to have around. Each has its ownpersonality and I see their differentattitudes and expressions when I’mwith them. If I get bored I just go out tothe stable and talk with my littlefriends.”

Speaking is HaliHaney, 19 years old andnow a student atWinona State Univer-sity. Her special com-pany when she getshome on weekends arethe nine miniaturehorses that she and hermother, Laurie, have attheir country home justoutside Olivia, Minn.

Hali says her love forthese little horsesstarted seven years agowhen her mother brought home theirfirst miniature, Spirit, for her youngersister’s birthday. The next day Kayashowed up as a surprise birthday pres-ent for Hali.

She smiled, “I was jealous of my littlesister getting a miniature. And thenthe following day Kaya appeared.”Both Spirit and Kaya are still part ofthe family of miniature horses at theHaney household. And both might belong-time residents. Hali said minia-tures often live 30 years or longer.

Each horse has its own special name.The “pack leader” in the Haney opera-tion is Onyx, simply because she is thelargest. But next in line in the “peck-ing order” are Spirit and Kaya becausethey are the oldest.

So what size are miniatures? Halisaid they measure only about 34 to 38inches at the withers and matureweights are only about 260 to 280pounds. A pelleted feed called SweetStuff plus grass and hay is the rationfor her miniatures.

According to Wikipedia, miniaturehorses are found in many nations, par-ticularly in Europe and the Americas.And they have indeed been hangingout on Planet Earth for quite a fewyears. In the 17th century, miniaturehorses were bred as pets for Europe’sHabsburg nobility from the court of

the French King Louis XIV. In Eng-land, Lady Estella Hope carried on abreeding program from original Eng-lish lines into the mid-1900s. However,not all early miniatures were pets ofkings and queens. Some were used towork in the English Midlands, Walesand European coal mines as ponies.

As noted by Hali, miniature horsesare friendly and interactwell with people. Forthis reason, they areoften kept as familypets. However theyretain natural horsebehavior, including anatural fight or flightinstinct. They are alsotrained as service ani-mals akin to assistancedogs for people with dis-abilities. It is difficultfor a miniature horse tolie down on the seat of ataxicab or stay in a hotel

room for extended periods of time. Soduty as a “service pony” is limited.

There are two registries in theUnited States for miniature horses:the American Miniature Horse Associ-ation and the American MiniatureHorse Registry. The AMHA wasfounded in 1978 dedicated to establish-ing the miniature as a distinct breednot to exceed 34 inches at the withers.

Miniature horses were developedfrom multiple sources. A miniatureshould be eager and friendly but notskittish in disposition. Because of theirrelative ease of handling and low feedcosts, miniatures are growing in popu-larity. For a listing of miniature breed-ers in Minnesota, check the web atMinnesota Horse Farms Directory.

Minnesota breeders are found atFarmington, Nevis, Fulda, VernonCenter, Minnesota, Eyota, Clearwater,Chaska and Jasper.

Hali used to show her miniatures atthe Renville County Fair and said peo-ple were always asking if her horseswere for sale. Some may soon be, nowthat she’s at college.

“I experience withdrawals from myhorses so I put an app on my iPod thatshows my horse Kaya.”

Her miniatures weigh only about 15pounds at birth.

University of Minnesota Extension energy econo-mist Doug Tiffany has developed a tool to help car-shopping consumers answer the common question,“Should I buy an alternative vehicle?”

Accessible online, the free tool helps consumersmore easily navigate the differences in the costs ofownership and operation and greenhouse gas emis-sions among four car types: conventional, hybrid,electric and extendedrange electric vehi-cles. By enteringinformation for eachtype of vehicle theyare considering, shop-pers can test variousscenarios, such ashigher gasolineprices and milesdriven per year.

“It’s not just aboutprice, personal taste,miles per gallon, inte-rior space and otherphysical features,”Tiffany said. “Thewide availability ofalternative vehicles— along with con-sumer interest inlessening one’s environ-mental impact — cancomplicate the car purchase decision even further.”

The tool is meant to help consumers better ana-lyze the factors that go into their purchase decision.It accurately evaluates newer models such as theNissan Leaf (electric) and Chevy Volt (extendedrange electric), conventional cars and commonhybrids, like the Toyota Prius, Honda Civic and oth-ers.

Key input factors include vehicle price, miles pergallon or miles per kilowatt hour performance, theexpectation of fuel prices for the life of the car, andthe number of miles per year the consumer expectsto drive.

Tiffany said he was first inspired to create thetool in 2009, when gasoline prices were lower, butthe sting from gas prices during the summer of2008, as high as $4 per gallon in many areas, lin-gered.

“I’m happy to help people balance their personaland altruistic goal of greenhouse gas emissionsreductions and petroleum conservation within thereality of their own lives and budgets,” he said. “Ihope people who use the tool learn that the owner-ship costs of vehicles are often more important thanthe operational costs (primarily gasoline), unlessyou drive enough miles per year.”

For more information on the alternative vehicletool, including a tutorial video and information oninterpreting results, seewww.extension.umn.edu/energy/vehicle.

I’ve been reading more than onearticle in the past several monthsfocusing on the world’s populationreaching seven billion this year. If yougive it some thought, it has hugeimplications for our industry.

What I find interesting is that eacharticle questions how can we feed theworld with our limited amount ofarable acres and water currentlyavailable to all of us. The reality isthat neither of these two worldresources will significantly change inthe future, in fact they will decrease.This is the underlying reason there isa fundamental bullish attitude sup-porting our industry currently and inthe long term.

That fundamental bullish attitudehas caught the attention of outsideinvestors and supporters of our indus-try. We will pay more for our inputs tomake food. Leading the way is equip-ment (power and machinery) with aprojected 17-percent increase in cost

for the year. Farmland is second with aprojected increase of 15 percent.

We will have an increased cost of pro-duction for the 2011 and 2012 crop.How much per acre, how much perbushel, how much per farm? Can youanswer those questions? Do you reallyknow? Are you prepared to make a rea-sonable bid on some farmland to pur-chase or rent and know how far youcan go?

I am sure you all have heard of therapid rise in land costs in the past sev-eral months. Several pieces of farm-land in Minnesota have sold for over$8,000 per acre. We have also wit-nessed initial cash rents of over $425per acre for the 2012 crop. Amazing!Amazing, yes but again it is reality. Asstated earlier, you will now have tocontend with outside investors in thefarmland market, not just your neigh-bor. Can you do it? Do you want to doit?

Speaking of your neighbor, how

about livestock producers? How arethey fitting into this fundamental bull-ish attitude surrounding grain pro-duction? Hog producers arefinally getting some breath-ing room in recent monthswith finishing hogs in the$90 per hundredweightrange. Dairy producersare operating on just a$1/cwt. margin for thepast nine months.Poultry producersare struggling aswell.

What we mustkeep in mind is that$7 corn and $13 soy-beans might be abonanza for grainproducers, but it’schallenging for thelivestock industry inthis state. It is sim-ply amazing how thehog and dairy pro-ducers have rapidlychanged rations to signifi-cantly reduce their cornand soybean meal needs.What are they switching to? Well,leading the list is dried distillersgrain, corn gluten meal, canola mealand beet pulp.

What skills will it take for any

farmer to compete in this industry inthe next few years? I believe mostwould agree that identifying your costof production is an important skill to

have. What does it cost you to pro-duce a bushel of corn or soy-

beans, a 100 pounds of milk,a 100 pounds of hogs. Doyou know? Can you accu-rately calculate it?

If you are a studentenrolled in a FarmBusiness Manage-ment program youshould know andyou can calculateit. With the assis-tance of your FBMinstructor you cal-

culate it every yearthrough the enter-prise analysis, andin some cases you

calculate it on a quar-terly basis.For more information,

“Consolidation” is thataggressive word which hasbeen enveloping agriculturalbusiness for several years now.

In simple terms, it results infewer but bigger. That cer-tainly is the recent history ofthe farm implement business,which used to pride itself on havingeight, 10, or more dealerships percounty. Today two or three farm equip-ment dealers per county is more theusual. But ownership of farm imple-ment stores today often includes multi-ple locations throughout an entire state.

Arnold’s Companies Inc., headquar-tered in Kimball, Minn., is a primeexample. Besides its “corporate head-quarters” in Kimball, population 746,Arnold’s also has Minnesota farmstores at Willmar, Glencoe, St. Martin,Alden and North Mankato.

Offering the Case-IH line, the Kim-ball dealership was established in 1958as part of a family business entityfounded by the Dingman HardwareStore, which dates back to 1940. Today,brothers John and Peter Arnold sharethe responsibilities of this six-store cor-poration. John joined the business in1980 just prior to those hectic yearswhen farm income plummeted, interestrates soared into the 20-percent range,and many farmers were closed out bytheir local bankers. Peter joined thecompany in 1988 and has manageddealerships in Litchfield and Glencoe.

“We think we’ve survived because ofthe diversified agriculture around Kim-ball. Also, we’re close enough to themetro area so part-time farmers alsohad work in the cities,” said John Arnold,interviewed at his Kimball office.

Is loyalty still a key factor in the farmimplement business? Arnold’s stores arenow servicing some third-generationfarmers. Said John Arnold, “We’ve gotgreat people at our stores. That’s key tolong-time customer loyalty. But obviouslythe quality of your farm equipment alsodrives your customer base from one gen-eration to the next. There’s lots of goodiron out there today. We’ve been fortu-nate to get into some strong marketswith dairy farmers because we are theexclusive retail dealer of the Claas forageharvesting equipment in Minnesota.”

Is the internet today a big factor inselling farm equipment? Arnold said,“it’s having a huge impact in the farmequipment industry. People are on ourwebsite continuously, or using differentlinks that we have in trade publica-

tions, farm magazines and Trac-tor House which features equip-

ment on a daily, constantly changingwebpage. So a good number of ourproducts get sold through the internet.Maybe it just started with that initialcomputer search but eventually theymake it to an Arnold’s store.” TheArnold’s website can be found atwww.arnoldsinc.com.

He indicated some of their Case-IHequipment now moves across state linesafter first being located on the Arnold’swebsite. Obviously customers from thelocal trade area of each Arnold’s storeare key to their business success. Andbecause their stores are located inhigher population rural areas, lawn andgarden equipment also draws “non-farmers.” Even Case-IH toy and clothingcategories attract attention.

“People through the front door arebasically what this business is allabout,” Arnold said.

GPS technology is everywhere in thefarm equipment business these days.“Every tractor and combine, even cropsprayers, are factory-wired providingthe capabilities to be GPS driven. Wealso do retrofitting of older equipmentso that it can be GPS driven.”

The Arnold’s companies currently havefour employees trained and dedicated toproviding service and education on whatCase-IH calls Advanced Farming Sys-tems.This also involves RTK radio towersset up within their various trade territo-ries which provide the electronic commu-nications needed to power GPS AutoTrack and other technology programs.

With 30 years selling farm equipment,how does John Arnold view running afarm store today compared to 1980? “It’sa much more complicated industry.Equipment is much better, and bigger,and will do more things. But that’s partlybecause a farmer’s expectations keepexpanding. And that’s why I’m proud ofour technicians at our various stores.They know how to meet these demands.”The Arnold’s companies employ nearly165 people at their five store locations.

Farm equipment costs big money thesedays, often crowding that half-million-dollar level on certain tractors and com-bines. But thanks to a thriving Americanagriculture, revenue keeps increasing for

the Arnold’s stores. Nationwide, tractorsales were up 4 percent last year; com-bine sales up 6 percent. Case-IH offersits own in-house credit plus there are

several financial firms eager toprovide financing for customerswanting to upgrade their machin-ery lineup.

At Arnold’s of Mankato, Gen-eral Manager Brent Muellersaid their average size row-croptractor is now about 300 hp, for

the 4-wheel drive it’s 535 hp. In com-bines, the Class 7 at 325 hp and the

It’s a much more complicated industry (than 30 yearsago). Equipment is much better, and bigger, and willdo more things. But that’s partly because a farmer’sexpectations keep expanding.

ARNOLDS, from pg. 23CClass 8 at 450 hp are top movers but this store alsosold several Class 9 units which are 485 hp orgreater. Indicative of the capability of modernequipment, Mueller mentioned two partnership-farmers who purchased a 36-row planter lastspring, hitched it to a Case-IH Quad Track andplanted 5,000 acres of corn and soybeans in fourdays running 24 hours per day.

“Their objective was to minimize variances intheir several fields so they could complete all spray-ing at one time,” Mueller said. “This also lets them

do all their nitrogen work in one timeframe. Plus ithelped calendarize their harvesting. They could pickand choose their fields rather than spreading out theharvest over a longer period.”

He said 98 percent of their sales are “auto guide”ready and functional to go. Combines, tractors andalmost all planters sold at the Mankato store go outwired ready to use GPS technology. Yes, this technol-ogy costs money. Mueller said to figure about anadditional $15,000 for your base system includingcolor monitor. Also many farmers now use cell phoneaccess to RTK rather than pay the fees to tie into an

area RTK tower system.

A continually growing U.S. agriculture has beenrewarding to the farm equipment industry. Arnoldsaid, “the past five years have been good years for us.It’s a competitive business but great opportunities,too. Despite some squeezing in the dairy and live-stock industries, cash grain farmers are coming off asurprisingly strong year. Agriculture will continue tobe a major player in our state and national economyso we’re pleased to be in a business that serves thisexciting and dynamic industry.”

During a recent discussion with a farmer he broughtup a topic that is on the mind of many farmers: ShouldI purchase new equipment?

There are a number of ways to look at this question. Oneof the areas I like to emphasize is replacement capacity.When reviewing replacement capacity, it provides insightinto your ability to generate enough funds to make pay-ments on intermediate and long-term loans and to replacecapital assets.There are two financial measures relevant torepayment capacity: term debt coverage ratio, and capitalreplacement and term debt repayment margin.

The term debt coverage ratio measures the abilityof the business to cover all term debt payments over aperiod of time. A number less than 1.0 indicates thatthe business is not generating sufficient income tomeet all of the term debt payments. A number greaterthan 1.0 indicates the business is generating suffi-cient income to pay all term debt obligations withsome surplus margin remaining. We typically like tosee a ratio of at least a 1.25 to a 1.50. It is important

to use cash calculations, and not just net farm incomecalculations when measuring the term debt coverageratio. Non-cash income measures such as deprecia-tion and inventory changes need to be adjusted.

The second way to look at repayment capacity iscalculating the Capital Replacement and Term DebtRepayment Margin. This margin is the money leftover after all operating expenses, taxes and ownerwithdrawals have been accounted for. This money isprimarily used to replace worn out capital assets.Obviously, the goal is to have a positive margin. Thismeasure is a dollar amount, so it is difficult to com-pare the measure between farm businesses. Theappropriate margin will vary from farm to farmdepending on the production and price variability.

If you would like more information on how farmbusiness management can help you understand yourRepayment Capacity, find a farm business manage-ment instructor at www.fbm.mnscu.edu.

Lime Spreading“Have you checked your soil PH lately”

Advantages we offer:• We unload directly from the trucks to a floater

(Terra Gator) without stockpiling material.This gives us a more uniform spread with nofoliage to plug up the spreader.

• With direct loading there is no stockpile, nowasted lime or mess in your field.

• We use a floater (Terra Gator) to spread sowe have less compaction.

• We are equipped to spread variable rate usingGPS mapping.

• We service Minnesota and northern Iowa.Why apply Aglime:• A soil ph level of 5.5 nitrogen efficiency is only

77 percent.• A soil ph level of 6.0 nitrogen efficiency still is

only 89 percent.• At a soil ph level of 7.0 fertilizer efficiency is

100 percent.
