Meet Colleen Van Berkum (above) and others as they take visitors back in time at Sioux Center, Iowa’s, Harvest Festival ~ Story on Page 14A

October is set aside each year to promoteand honor that wonderful meat productfrom hogs — pork.

Pork, the meat formerly known as theOther White Meat, is now prompting con-sumers to “Be Inspired” with the flexibilityof cooking with chops, bacon, loins, ham —whatever porcine cut suits your fancy. Justgrab some meat and get creative in thekitchen.

If you need a little kick-start, just turn toPage 26A for some recipes from theNational Pork Board. Try these and thenbranch out on your own, and remember,we here at The Land are always open tosampling.

Obviously pork wouldn’t get to the consumers’tables if it weren’t for the hogs. And the hogs would-n’t make it to market in good shape without the hardwork and care of the many men and women workingin the hog barns and lots.

Minnesota and Iowaboast some of the bestoperations at produc-ing hogs, not only inthe United States, butthe entire world. Notonly are they the bestat what they do, butthey also kick out alot of pork.

Iowa hog farms had19 million hogs andpigs on hand Dec. 1, 2010, while Gopher State hogproducers had an inventory of 7.7 million hogs andpigs on the same date.

Thus, every October we also honor those men andwomen who toil to provide the meat to inspire cooksaround the globe.

In this issue, we offer some stories to help produc-ers along their way. Are you looking for hogs that areless aggressive? Then you will want to turn to Page20A to see research behind hogs that are raised in

group farrowing situations.Watching input costs is important in

any farming operation, and when youdeal with livestock, feed costs are thelargest input. With corn and soybeanprices remaining strong, livestock pro-ducers have been looking at other feed-stuffs.

One feedstuff getting a lot of interest isdried distillers grains with solubles, abyproduct of ethanol plants.

Turn to Pages 21A, 22A and 23A forinsight as to how this byproduct fits into

swine rations and your operation.If harvest is at a lull, and you want to

learn more about yourself and your oper-ation, and ways to improve both, turn to Page 25A tosee why you should venture to Mankato, Minn., onOct. 18.

“Swine Farms: A Great Place to Work” is the title ofthis year’s WorkforceDevelopment Semi-nar sponsored by theMinnesota PorkBoard. In addition toinformative presenta-tions, producers canalso gather informa-tion at the TrainingTool Shed. Educa-tional materials onswine managementand production,

worker safety, employee training, biosecurity andmore will be available throughout the day.

All of this information is designed to help you be abetter producer, to produce a better-quality productto help consumers be pork-inspired in the kitchen.

And remember, we welcome samples.•••

LAND MINDS

By Kevin Schulz

Minnesota and Iowa boast some of thebest operations at producing hogs, notonly in the United States, but the entireworld. Not only are they the best at whatthey do, but they also kick out a lot ofpork.

Already deeply engaged in abloody war, a young, untestedpresident — whose thinresume noted but a handful ofundistinguished terms in theIllinois General Assembly anda brief stint in Congress — didnot hesitate when Congressdelivered legislation that mightspark a new beginning for atiring nation.

When Abraham Lincolnsigned the Homestead Act of1862 he sent a clear signal toall Americans that he believedthe Union would endure andit would stride toward itsgreater destiny with a new element of freedom — land.

Lincoln, of course, was right. The Homestead Actbecame one of America’s most enlightened — and toNative Americans, most damnable — moves: 1.5 bil-lion acres owned by the federal government would beoffered to nearly anyone for the taking, a fabulouslyradical idea in a world still mostly owned by noblesand aristocrats.

Next year marks the Homestead Act’s 150thanniversary and plans are under way for a year’sworth of activities at the National Park’s Service’sHomestead National Monument of America, 40 milessouth of Lincoln, Neb. (www.nps.gov/home/index.htm)

“Many of the events that shape 100 years of Ameri-can history had their beginnings in the HomesteadAct,” said Mark Engler, superintendent of the site.Some, such as the Land Grant university system andthe U.S. Department of Agriculture, remain keyparts of American society today, he adds.

All were an extension of Thomas Jefferson’s yeo-man-farmer ideal for the nation. Two generationsafter his buy-now, tell-Congress-later purchase of theLouisiana Territory and 36 years after his death theideal reached its zenith: anyone 21 years old —including single, unmarried women — was entitledto 160 acres of America.

Few restrictions to “homesteading” made it attrac-tive to both Americans and any immigrant who hadfiled an “intention” to become a citizen. All you hadto do was swear to not “taken up arms” against thenation, move to the land within six months of its sur-

vey and filing and, most importantly, “improve it”— settle and farm it.

If those conditions were met and $10 was paid,the land was deeded to the homesteader — patented,as it was called — after five years.

According to data compiled by the Center for SocialDevelopment at Washington University in St. Louis,3 million people applied for this “source of opportu-nity and wealth” over the succeeding 77 years thelaw was fully in force.

Even more remarkably, almost 1.5 million “house-holds were given title to 246 million acres of land” by1939, or, “approximately 20 percent of all public landin the United States was given away” by the nationto it citizens.

And it just wasn’t in states most Americans con-sider homestead havens; it was in virtually everystate west of the Allegheny Mountains. For example,

24 percent of Arkansas, 20 percent ofMinnesota and 29 percent ofWyoming were “successfully” home-steaded.

And, too, states most thought of ashomestead-settled were, indeed, set-tled by homesteaders — 45 percent ofNebraska, 30 percent of NorthDakota, 35 percent of Montana and

34 percent of Oklahoma. (The last homestead“patent” was granted in 1988 to Ken Deardorff forhis piece of Alaska.)

But the unique law was not universally accepted.The first Americans, Natives of the more than 500nations already established in what was to become theUnited States, viewed it as a leading cause for theircultural decline and virtual demise. Many still do.

In fact, because of the Homestead Act, “Promoters,frontier settlers and fur traders pushed the govern-ment to enter treaties with Indians which todaywould be regarded as unconscionable,” notes Wash-ington University research.

That legacy, as well as the estimated 93 millionAmerican descendants of homesteaders, makes theHomestead Act a vital, still-alive piece of Americanhistory.

The National Pork Board has added two new vicepresidents, Bill Winkelman and Jill Criss, to thePork Checkoff management team. Winkelman is thenew vice president of producer and industry rela-tions. Criss becomes vice president of operations andhuman resources.

Winkelman will lead the Checkoff staff memberswho connect directly with producers and with othersin the pork industry. He and his group work todeliver to U.S. pork producers the services and pro-grams they support through the Pork Checkoff.Those include research results, educational, trainingand certification programs.

Winkelman grew up in north-central Iowa on adiversified farm and is a graduate of Iowa State Uni-versity. After working in public accounting for threeyears, he joined Pioneer Hi-bred, where he spent 15years in various roles with international finance. Helived in Europe for three years while serving as the

finance director for Euro-pean operations. He spentthree years as chief finan-cial officer for the NationalPork Board before joiningthe western operation ofMurphy-Brown in 2004 asthe director of analysisand reporting.

Criss has been theNational Pork Board’sdirector of humanresources the past eightyears. She will continue tooversee day-to-day organi-zational operations includ-ing legal issues, recordsretention, National PorkBoard contract oversight,Freedom of InformationAct requests and internalorganizational structure.Additionally, she directsall human resource andorganizational effective-ness initiatives in supportof the strategic plan.

A graduate of the Uni-versity of Northern Iowa,Criss has worked inhuman resources forBridgestone/Firestone andIowa State University. Shealso has owned her ownhuman resources consult-ing firm.

For information onCheckoff-funded pro-grams, pork producers cancall the Pork Checkoff Ser-vice Center at (800) 456-7675 or check the internetat www.pork.org.

In June 2010, the U.S. governmentprovided some simple clarifications tothe law that governs the relationshipbetween livestock producers and the meatpackersand processors who buy their animals. The GrainInspection, Packers and Stockyards Administrationrule would help to ensure fairness for individualproducers and restore competition to agriculturalmarkets.

It protects the basic rights of family farmers. Therule prevents packers and processors from drivingfarmers and ranchers out of business one at a time,and it protects producers who speak out againstunfair business practices. Farmers, ranchers andconsumers overwhelmingly support the rule, as dothe two largest general farm organizations in thecountry (National Farmers Union being one ofthem).

What does this mean to you, the consumer? One

recent example is the salmonella out-break in eggs that occurred in 2010.

Those eggs were marketed under at least16 different brands that all originated from two fac-tory farms owned by the same individual. If packersand processors successfully kill the GIPSA rule, youcan look forward to more production being concen-trated in the hands of a few mega-farms and theincreased possibility that you may someday be eat-ing tainted food from the same farm as schoolchild-ren in California or a family in Maine.

I leave it to you to decide who to believe: the largestmeatpackers in the country, who made billions inprofits last year, or two million American familyfarmers and ranchers?

“Organic” has long been one of thosebuzzwords floating around health-and food-conscious communities. Mostgrocery stores devote at least an aisle— if not several — to organic foods.Restaurants and bakeries are evenmaking a point to use chemical-freeingredients.

The U.S. Department of Agriculturesets the rules and certifies whether afarm or facility is officially producingorganic foods — and the rules are spe-cific.

According to a statement on theUSDA website, “organic is a labelingterm that indicates that the food orother agricultural product has beenproduced through approved methodsthat integrate cultural, biological andmechanical practices that fostercycling of resources, promote ecologi-cal balance and conserve biodiversity.Synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge,irradiation and genetic engineeringmay not be used.”

There’s a natural assumption thatorganic means healthy, and why not?Pesticides, hormones and antibioticsjust don’t seem like the sort of thingsone wants to pump into their body, ifnot necessary.

The fact is, though, not a lot of stud-ies actually confirm that people whoeat organic food are more healthythan those who don’t.

Naheed Ali-Sayeed, chief clinicaldietitian at Kenmore Mercy Hospitalin Tonawanda, N.Y., said the articlesshe’s read are not scientific based.

Ali-Sayeed points out that in the

end, eating more fruits and vegeta-bles, regardless of whether they’reorganic, is what’s really important.

“I think it’s just the perception thatit’s better. It may be, but all peoplecannot afford to buy everythingorganic. We still want you to eat awell-balanced diet and if it’s notorganic it can still be nutritious foryou to consume,” she said.

Catherine Stack, a doctor of natur-opathy and certified nurse midwife inNiagara Falls, N.Y., agrees. “Organic isimportant to me, but getting people toeat healthy in the first place is thefirst step.”

Stack does say, however, that eatingorganically is the healthier option.

“If we took hormones in abundance,we’d have larger breasts and morebody fat. What we’ve seen across theboard is young girls with benignbreast tumors and we feel that there’sa link between the hormones in milk,poultry and beef,” Stack said.

The USDA stopped just short of say-ing organic is better for the humanbody in a recent interview. Soo Kim, ofthe USDA, says that organic practicesare important for the health of soil,plants and animals and that it pro-

motes sustainability, but agrees thatcurrent industry research is limited orambiguous based on what productsare being compared in studies onhuman health.

“If you’re talking about whetherorganically grown foods contain moreor better nutrients, research is notconclusive,” Kim said.

For those looking to replace just afew items in the kitchen with theorganic equivalent, the Environmen-tal Working Group — an organizationdedicated to protecting public healththrough disseminating information —

provides a list of the “Dirty Dozen”fruits and vegetables to avoidbecause of typically higher levels ofpesticides.

Apples, celery and strawberries topthe list, followed by peaches, spinach,nectarines, grapes, sweet bell pep-pers, potatoes, blueberries, lettuceand kale/collard greens.

On the other end of the spectrum isthe “Clean Fifteen:” onions, sweetcorn, pineapples, avocado, asparagus,sweet peas, mangoes, eggplant, can-taloupe, kiwi, cabbage, watermelon,sweet potatoes, grapefruit and mush-rooms. These items are typicallygrown with fewer contaminants.

By DON McNAYCNHI News Service

I’ve spent my adult lifeadvising people about their money.I’m knowledgeable about trusts andestate planning and have strongworking relationships with experts inboth fields.

I should be the last person to beinvolved in an estate-planning night-mare. But I was when my mother andsister died.

Mom died unexpectedly in 2006.She never had a will, and no one wor-ried about it. Her only asset was ourchildhood home, and my sister and Iwere her only children. We would splitthe ownership of the house equally.

Things got a lot more complicatedafter Mom’s death.

My sister was living in the housewhen Mom died. My sister was com-ing off a period of unemployment as asingle mother. She didn’t even have abank account. My sister and I workedout a deal on how to divide mom’sassets.

We never wrote anything down, butwe trusted each other, and it seemedlike a good plan. And it was — untilmy sister died six months after mom

did. She did not have awill, either.I knew she had a minor

daughter and an adult son. What I did-n’t know was that she still had a hus-band.

She had been married for severalyears, and her younger child was his.However, she had told us she haddivorced several years earlier. They did-n’t live together. She had lived in Cali-fornia and he had lived in Cincinnati.

Her ex came to her funeral, which Ihad arranged and paid for, but we did-n’t really talk.

Two days later, he had a lawyer filepapers asking that he be named theestate administrator.

It turned out my sister and her hus-band never filed for divorce. Thus, hewas entitled to half of my sister’sestate.

Since Mom’s estate had not settled, italso meant that her estranged hus-band and his lawyer suddenly becameinvolved in decisions regarding mymother’s estate. Also, my niece was aminor, and a guardian ad litem had tobe appointed to protect her interest.The guardian ad litem also had to sign

off on decisions about Mom’s estate.It was a tedious and expensive mess.The only solution was to put my

childhood home on the market. Iadvanced a chunk of money to get itfixed for sale. Since the real estatemarket was dropping, the house wasslow to sell, and every time we wantedto change the price, it had to gothrough the round of lawyers andinterested parties.

It caused a riff in the family over lit-tle money. By the time the lawyers andexpenses were paid, my share of mymother’s estate was a small sum andmy sister’s estate received the same. Iate some expenditures and lost moneyon the overall process.

The person who got the most moneyfrom my mother’s estate was my for-mer brother-in-law. My sister’s estatereceived half of Mom’s money, and hereceived half of my sister’s estate.

My mother doted on her grandchil-dren, especially my sister’s children,who had lived with her for part of theirchildhoods. She would not havewanted my brother-in-law to getmoney instead of her grandchildren.Preventing that from happening wouldhave been easy and inexpensive.

My family’s series of events wasunusual, but unusual things happenevery day.

Involving a lawyer would have solvedmost of the problems. If my sister andmy mother had had simple wills, themoney would have gone to the rightpeople. If my sister had actually gottendivorced instead of working out aninformal agreement, it would have pre-vented our post-funeral surprise.

I suspect people don’t have willsbecause they don’t want to think aboutdeath. According to a survey by Find-law.com, a popular legal website, morethan 60 percent of Americans don’thave wills.

People may think that wills andattorneys are expensive. In the overallscheme of things, they really aren’t. Igladly would have paid 10 times theaverage cost for my mother and sisterto have had wills. And everyone(except for my brother-in-law and theattorneys) would have come out wayahead.

As a shy child scared of cows grazing in myown yard, no one would have guessed thepath I would take in life. That is becausethe friends, family time and lessons Ilearned in 4-H shaped me into the per-son I am today.

My grandpa instilled a love of agricul-ture in me at a young age. Following himaround the barn helping with dailychores, I learned early on what it meant tobe dedicated to some-thing — to find some-thing that you arepassionate about andsucceed at doing it. Ifound what I wantedto be passionate aboutthrough University ofMinnesota Exten-sion’s 4-H program.

I joined my cousinsin 4-H when I was infirst grade. As I grew,4-H volunteers andprojects helped me find my niche and focus on mystrengths. I developed a love of leadership, planningand, oddly enough, public speaking, all while becom-ing more confident.

My favorite 4-H projects involved livestock. Whilecaring for my animals, I learned dedication, hardwork, responsibility and determination. I alsolearned about financial management, how to dealwith situations when things don’t go as planned andhow to deal with life and death — important lessonsthat can’t be learned in a classroom.

I studied veterinary medicine at the University ofMinnesota, which I had been introduced to through4-H. Looking for ways to stay involved in 4-H, I joinedthe livestock judging team and took an internshipcoordinating 4-H livestock shows at the MinnesotaState Fair. Through these experiences, I discoverednew ways to be involved in the agriculture industry,and decided to explore agricultural business.

Following graduation, I was hired by AgStarFinancial Services, a proud supporter of the 4-H pro-

gram. The skills learned through 4-H helpedme build a strong resume and earn a job

with a company that is a strong advo-cate for 4-H and agriculture. I realizedmy life experiences were coming full

circle when I decided to volunteer for 4-H to help give today’s youth the sameopportunities I had.

Oct. 2-8 is National 4-H Week. 4-Hyouth, volunteers and other supporters

throughout Minnesota will be celebratinghow 4-H is making a difference in their lives

and communities.If you aren’t familiar with 4-H in your area, I

encourage you to find out about it. Start by loggingon to www.extension.umn.edu/youth/mn4-H. You’lldiscover a youth development program that offerslearning opportunities in science and technology,creative arts, leadership and much more.

SIOUX CENTER, Iowa — Cornears drying on racks and a wagon filledwith fall vegetables that were a staplein early pioneering living greeted hun-dreds of visitors to Sioux Center, Iowa’s,Harvest Festival Sept. 16 and 17.

“Friday is our big day,” said Larry TeGrotenhuis, chairman of the HeritageBoard. “This year 750 students from 18schools in northwest Iowa and south-ern Minnesota and home school stu-dents visited on Friday. On Saturday,we see more of the community inattendance, especially as many ofthese students are anxious to sharethe fun with their parents.”

Volunteers bring history to life forthese students and others who trulyenjoyed the step back in time. That isexactly what Te Grotenhuis wants tohave happen.

“The purpose of the Harvest Festivalis to make available a historical, edu-cational opportunity,” he said. “Wewant to bring to life the history of thisarea. So that these students can get a

glimpse of the hardships their ances-tors had to endure and what they hadto do just to live.”

Grace Klein of Sioux Center bringsto life the sewing machine that hergrandparents brought with them fromThe Netherlands in 1913. Hermother’s baby clothes were sewn withit. The power for the machine is sup-plied by Klein’s right hand as shedemonstrates how pioneer womenwould take scraps of material and sewthem into quilts that were needed onthe cold winter nights. She uses anine-square block pattern for the quilt.

Denny Hoekstra and Syne Wynia,both of rural Sioux County, said theyhad shelled a lot of corn in their lives.Together they showed festival visitorsthe work that was a regular endeavoron practically every farm.

Shelling corn at the festival occurred atregular intervals both days of the festi-val. Wynia owns the 1920s JD cornsheller that was used. When he bought it15 years ago, it was in great disrepair.

HISTORY, from pg. 14A“I bought it because it was old,” he said. Wynia,

who owns other older antique machinery, restored itto like-new condition. He enjoys demonstrating atthe festival as he said the youth really like seeingthis older machinery in action.

Gary Vander Hart of Sioux Center can make musicout of anything, or so it seemed to Erika Schenk, age10, of Sioux Center. “One of the instruments heplayed was a wash tub that used a broom stick andsheep intestine,” Schenk said. “Amazing!”

“That was called a cheap man’s base violin,” Van-der Hart said. He has been displaying his collectionof folk instruments for the last five years at the Her-itage Village. His skillful fingers bring beautifulmusic to life on the 15 different instruments that hebrought that day. Vander Hart also handcraftedmany of them.

“The most unusual one I have is the corn stalk fid-dle,” he said. “Music was important on the prairie,they learned to make their own instruments usingwhat material they had available.” He demonstratedan Aeolian harp with a fan, but normally the windharp would be placed in a window or hung outdoorsin a tree.

For 12 years now Colleen Van Berkum of SiouxCenter has been cooking over the open fires. On thefirst day of the festival she was preparing ham andpotatoes, beans and bread in her cast iron pans tocomplement cabbage, apple dessert and egg coffee.This normal early settler meal she served to the Her-itage Board and Threshermen Association that nightfor supper.

“The egg coffee is something I learned from theolder women who would visit and reminisce,” shesaid. “The grounds are just thrown into the pot witha beaten egg, the coffee can set on the back of the

stove all day, stay hot and never get bitter.”“Once you taste her cooking done outdoors,” Mark

Goesch said, “no other cooking will satisfy,”Stan and Linda Prins operate the electric sawmill,

formerly the Gerritsma Sawmill, a well-known area

business. Each year there seems to be a project thatsomeone wants done. This year Linda said theywere cutting up logs for benches.

At the blacksmith shop, 17-year-old Matthew Fed-ders feels right at home. His enthusiasm for black-smithing encouraged his parents Mark and AlethaFedders to build a forge right on their Orange City,Iowa, farm for him. That day he took a great deal ofpride in sharing knowledge with the students andothers who visited the Harvest Festival.

Andrew Van Grouw, fourth grader from theOrange City Christian School, really appreciatedthe work that Fedders and Wynia did.

“My favorite thing was the blacksmith shop becausethe flames, metal tools and hammers were so cool,”Van Grouw said. “I also liked how they could makerope just by turning the crank. I like the sawmillbecause it makes wood and has a huge blade.”

Plans are already being made to increase the his-torical displays for next year. Smaller gas engineswere added this year and Te Grotenhuis hopes thatincreases next year. He also wants to see more inthe culinary area. A big project the Heritage Villagehas undertaken is to create a general store just as itwas in early Sioux Center.

“History doesn’t have to be boring,” Te Grotenhuissaid.

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

With combines now rolling, the bigquestion is what’s the quality of the2011 harvest?

The Sept. 15 frost which slitheredacross much of Minnesota,South Dakota and NorthDakota only exacerbated theissue. Most observers arealready suggesting this could bea repeat of the 2009 harvestwhen wet corn, low test weightcorn, mycotoxin-infested cornand other quality issues werechallenging both farmers andelevators.

“Some of these fields never matured.I know we’ll be seeing 47-pound testweights, maybe even lower and soy-bean fields that may not even be worthharvesting,” said Dave Amundson,sales-customer service technician forStearns DHIA Laboratories in SaukCentre, Minn. “Leave some of this stufffor late-winter, early spring combiningand who knows what you’ll find outthere.”

He said they already are getting aninordinate number of phone calls, e-mails and visits by farmers and feedprocessors about quality issues of the2011 crop. “This thing is so diverse inits geography, spreading all the wayfrom North Dakota to southern Min-nesota. It’s just a wide open scenario.And where there was also hail and/orinsect damage there likely will be somemold and aflatoxin issues also.”

Nutrient value will be the big ques-tion on corn this year simply becauseso much of the crop didn’t reach blacklayer prior to that Sept. 15 frost. “We’regetting lots of corn samples brought tothe lab by growers and grain handlerswho simply are concerned about thefeed value of that corn. Protein valuesaren’t likely to be affected but certainlycarbohydrate (energy) content will bedecreased, sometimes dramaticallybecause of the low test weight,”Amundson said.

Relating to the ethanol industry hesaid his laboratories are getting “a lotof what I call strange byproducts fromsome of these processing facilities,especially the ethanol industry. Manyof these byproducts were simply dis-carded but now people are really tryingto find out what value some of theseproducts might have. There are someweird things coming in. We justreceived a tofu byproduct.

“The guy called me and asked ‘Canyou test this?’ I told him that we couldrun it through our wet chemistry laband see what the energy numberswere. The point being that with $7corn, people are looking for othersources of energy or asking themselves‘do I feed corn, or don’t I feed corn?’”

The majority of lab work by StearnsDHIA is dairy related. Their lab has a“chipper-shredder” machine whichquickly gives moisture readings oncorn stalks brought in from the field.Amundson said that ears on thesestalks brought in this fall are muchsmaller than last season. Also alfalfatonnage and quality is suffering thesame consequences. “There weren’t anyfive cuts this year; many settled foronly three alfalfa harvests but thanksto a couple weeks of September sun-shine some fourth cutting alfalfaturned out respectably good.”

Stearns DHIA also tests manure fornutrient quality and he suspects thatwith poorer quality feed crops this fallthere will be even more interest in test-ing nutrient values of manure.“Because they’re likely going to spendmore money buying feed stuffs, theywant to know even more the nutrientvalue of the manure they are spreadingback on their fields because thatdirectly equates to whether they haveto buy more or less commercial fertil-izer.”

Looking at all the complications ofthis difficult cropping season, Amund-son said, “It’s a Catch 22 situation andit’s not a good situation for anybody.”

Amundson was interviewed at therecent Minnesota Nutrition Conferencein Owatonna, Minn.

A lot of grain quality issuesto look at for 2011 crop

Moderating a morning session of the Sept. 20-21Minnesota Nutrition Conference, Minnesota CornGrowers Association Director Bruce Peterson said,“We believe in the power of research.”

Topics for the morning agenda were the future ofcorn production in the Upper Midwest, obtainingoptimum utilization of dried distillers grains infeedlot diets, corn silage fiber digestibility and useof corn co-products in swine diets.

“With a challenge of producing 70 percent more foodproduction by 2050 and doing this on less arable land,less water and perhaps less fertilizer, we’ve simply gotto embrace technology. We need more answers on howto produce more per acre,” he said.

Peterson noted the ongoing changes within theethanol processing industry and how that, in turn,presents some new co-products as feedstuffs for thelivestock industry. “These changes affect our opera-tion personally since we finish out several thousandhogs each year, plus we grow corn and we’re share-holders in an area ethanol plant. So we’re in the fullcycle of corn production, corn processing and cornfeeding.”

His operation near Northfield, Minn., currentlyutilizes DDGS at the 30 percent level in their swinefinishing ration but based on reports shared at thisnutrition conference he’s wondering about higherDDG levels both in finishing and especially for thegestation/lactation periods of the sow operation

that provides his feeder pigs.Peterson said the addition of phytase into the

DDGS feedstuffs has increased the digestibility ofthe phosphorous ingredient. “We’re seeing a reducedlevel of phosphorous in the hog manure. From anagronomic viewpoint I wouldn’t mind seeing a littlemore phosphorous in the manure, but from an envi-ronmental and water quality issue it’s important. Sothis higher conversion of phosphorous in our swinediets is significant.”

Because of the improved genetics in the swineworld, market weights of 275-plus pounds are fairlyroutine these days. “That somewhat depends uponthe packer buyer of your products,” he said, “butthere’s no doubt hogs are finishing leaner and heav-ier than just a few years back. We market to Hormeland finish to their ‘red box’ criteria but some packersdo permit a wider range.

“Reflecting on my 4-H and FFA years in the late-’70s, if you had a 280-pound pig it certainly didn’thave the muscular structure and lean backfat oftoday’s hogs. Today’s genetics play a big role.”

That’s verified in better birth weights, bigger

weaning numbers per sow, more pigs farrowed persow and significantly better feed efficiency and dailygains. “Granted that all counts,” Peterson said, “butmanagement also has come along big time. Whetherit be a dairy farmer, a cattle feeder, or a hog producerwe’re all just a bit better than we used to be.

“We’ve learned a lot over the past few years how toadopt DDGS into our feeding programs. And at thisyear’s conference we’re also learning more about theadditional co-products of ethanol refining and howthese change the composition of the DDGS. It’s anongoing learning curve that hopefully presents moreopportunities to save on feed costs as we learn howto incorporate some of these new ingredients intoour rations.”

With recent drops in the hog market some of those“black ink” margins were getting squeezed onceagain. Peterson noted the price of corn also droppingso there’s been some realignment of the profit pic-ture for producing pork.

Reflecting on the financial challenges of the pastthree to four years, he doubts the recent profitabilitywill generate any significant expansion of hog num-bers. “Running a farrowing facility is somewhat likerunning a small factory. You’ve got a certain amountof overhead expense whether you are at full capacity,or something less. We may not be seeing new hog fin-ishing barns being built for awhile, but going for-ward there’s still going to be a strong demand forpork, if not domestically, then certainly in otherparts of the world where people are seeing betterincomes and wanting to eat better.

“I think there’s big potential for world demand formeat to keep increasing. We’re a protein-hungryworld and meat products can help fill that demand.We’re exporting around 25 percent of our U.S. porkproduction. I know the Asian markets — particu-larly Japan, Korea and China — are key customersfor U.S. pork. China is still the No.1 pork producingcountry in the world but they can’t meet their owndemand anymore.”

Peterson said ethanol gets an unfair rap fromthose people who don’t think a feed grain should beused to provide fuel. “But these folks don’t know, ordon’t care to acknowledge, that a huge portion ofthat corn going into the ethanol market also pro-vides feedstuffs for the U.S. livestock industry.

“On a per-weight basis, about one-third of all thatcorn going to ethanol mills comes back to the farmsas feed products for livestock. And that, in turn, thendisplaces millions of bushels of corn that would oth-erwise be fed directly into the livestock industry. Sowhen you include the tonnage of DDGS feed usage isstill easily the No. 1 usage for corn.”

Finishing barns are on a 19-week turn in theiroperation, somewhat depending upon both farrowingand finishing schedules within the various barns.But weather and growth rates are also problematicat times. That means seven to 10 days are typical forclean-out time before barns are refilled.

Four families make a full-time living off the Peter-son hog and crop farming operations. They’re run-ning about 6,000 acres with about three-fourths ofthose acres now growing corn as a hedge againsthigher feed costs.

User-friendly applicationprovides barn-specificresults, insights

The Pork Checkoff announces the release of a newsoftware tool for pork producers — the Live SwineCarbon Footprint Calculator. Developed with thetechnical expertise of the University of Arkansas’Applied Sustainability Center, the user-friendlyapplication allows producers to input their on-farmdata from the sow or grow-finish side of productionto compute the carbon footprint of an entire barn ofpigs from breeding to market.

Roy Henry, a pork producer from Longford, Kan.,and member of the National Pork Board, said,“America’s pork pro-ducers are among themost environmentallyand socially responsi-ble food producers inthe world. The unveil-ing of the new carbonfootprint calculatordemonstrates this factonce again.”

Henry said that thecalculator will createa benchmark of abarn’s carbon foot-print that producerscan then use to helpmake production deci-sions to improve effi-ciencies and achieve alower overall foot-print. “This tool truly offers us an innovation thatcan help guide our management practices,” Henrysaid.

National Pork Board President Everett Forkner, aproducer from Richards, Mo., sees the new tool as abreakthrough. “It’s a great day for everyone on andoff the farm when we can bring a new tool such asthis to U.S. producers,” Forkner said. “It reflects pro-ducers’ ongoing dedication to invest in new tools thathelp improve upon their long history of protectingthe environment.”

Randy Spronk, a producer from Edgerton, Minn.,who serves on the Checkoff ’s environmental commit-tee, was one of the first to test the carbon footprintcalculator. He was impressed by its ease of use andstraightforward output.

“With your production data available to enter intothe calculator, it only takes a few minutes to deter-mine your barn’s carbon footprint and to visually seewhat the biggest contributors to it are,” Spronk said.“From there, you can begin thinking how you mightmake changes to increase on-farm efficiencies andreduce your baseline footprint.”

Spronk said the tool clearly shows how inputs,such as feed, energy use, manure and pig perform-ance, are all related to the carbon footprint of a barn.“It’s an eye-opener to see how this all interrelates,”Spronk said. “It drives home how we, as producers

from operations of all sizes, can continue to takeadditional steps to be environmentally, socially andeconomically sustainable.”

If you surmise thatpiglets emerging intothe world in deeplybedded group-farrow-ing pens are more“docile” than pigletsthat are confinementborn in a farrowing crate — you surmisecorrectly. And they pretty much remainless agonistic in later life, even whenmixed with young pigs that started inthe farrowing crate environment.

Reporting at the Sept. 20-21 Min-nesota Nutrition Conference in Owa-tonna, behavioral scientist Yuzhi Liwith the West Central Research andOutreach Center, at Morris, Minn.,reported on her study of “social interac-tion” of pigs comparing the two farrow-ing systems.

“Pigs started in group farrowingwere less aggressive when mingledinto larger groups in the grow-finishbarn. We had a total of 216 pigs, 108group farrowed and 108 crate far-rowed. The pigs from crate farrowingwere less sociable when weaned (fiveweeks) and that lesser social abilitycontinued throughout the finishingperiod,” Li said.

Aggressive interactions among pigs ineach of the previous housing systemswere video-recorded immediately aftermixing for 24 hours. The videos wereviewed continuously to register all fight-ing events, including duration and fre-quency of fighting among familiar andunfamiliar pigs. Fighting occurred atfeeders, drinkers and open areas of a pen.

Her data showed that approximately95 percent of the fights occurredamong unfamiliar pigs, with 65 per-cent, 30 percent and 5 percent of totalfights being observed in open areas, atfeeders and at drinkers, respectively,regardless of previous housing system.

“These results suggest that pigsreared in the group-farrowing systemmaintained the ability to discriminatebetween pen mates and non-penmates, and were more tolerant of unfa-miliar pigs when mixed in smallgroups compared to pigs reared in theconfinement system,” Li said.

The pigs from crate far-rowing were less socia-ble when weaned ...

— Yuzhi Li


With 29 presenters covering nutri-tional issues of all livestock species,including horses, the Sept. 20-21 Min-nesota Nutrition Conference, pre-sented by the University of MinnesotaDepartment of Animal Science and theMinnesota Extension Service, didindeed touch many bases.

Speakers from across North Americashared their latest concepts on live-stock feeding to an audience of feedindustry professionals. The growingrole of dried distillers grain feedstuffs,with questions about the digestibilityof co-products of the ethanol industry,captured lots of attention.

Perhaps complicating nutritionissues this fall are growing concernsabout the variability of feed quality. Isthe nutrient quality of DDG feedschanging over time as ethanol proces-sors capture more of the various ingre-dients of that kernel of corn?

“Yes, it’s changing over time becauseethanol plants are now extracting dif-ferent fractions from the corn,” saidLee Johnston, research nutritionist atWest Central Research and OutreachCenter at Morris, Minn. He indicatedit’s incumbent upon the producer toknow what product he is feeding.

“A DDG is not necessarily a DDG,”Johnston said. “These values differfrom ethanol plant to ethanol plant, sobest procedure is to get nutrient analy-ses from each plant that you buy prod-

uct from. The product may carry thesame label from each plant but thenutrient content often differs.

“Perhaps it’s good to work with feedcompanies to get their data ondigestible amino acid contents, fat con-tent and other key ingredients for var-ious DDGS providers. As a livestockproducer, your primary goal with anyfeedstuffs is to get the best value out ofthat product.”

Johnston is concerned about poten-tial issues with grain quality this fall.“There’s always variation in feedstuffsbut extra effort may be needed to man-age around the variables of feed qual-ity this fall. As we get into harvest,farmers will be seeing tremendousvariation even within the same field.So the first issue I’d be concernedabout is what’s the mycotoxin loadgoing to be. Will we get a good, dryquick harvest or will it be a wet,drawn-out harvest which simply opensthe door to more quality issues?

“We will be concerned about thenutrient value in terms of proteinquality, amino acid quality and con-tent. It likely means a great amount of

lab analysis to find out exactly whatyou have. The variation will be wide-spread; hopefully there are enoughgood spots in these fields to balanceout the problem areas. But samplingthis year becomes even more criticalbecause of these extremes.

“You just can’t go out there and graba couple samples and expect that tofairly represent the real world. That’sparticularly critical when testing formycotoxins. So multiple samplingusing good procedures will be vital andthat means sub-sampling and blend-ing to get a true measure.”

With sow lactation diets he’s per-fectly OK with DDGs now making up30 percent, or even more, of the totalration. But if mycotoxins are an issue,then careful screening including aneffective binder and reducing the DDGportion is advisable.

In finishing rations it used to be astretch to talk 20 percent DDGs in thediet. “But today nobody even blinkstheir eye at 30 percent levels, even 40percent and higher,” Johnston said,“depending upon the economics of thattotal ration formulation. That’s start-

ing to stretch the envelope because ofimpact on fat quality.”

Johnston indicated research to dateshows high DDG levels don’t impacttaste, marbling or color. “But our con-cern is with the firmness of the fat.Get really high distillers levels, youget softer fat. The more distillers weput in after reaching that 20 percentlevel, it’s a straight line increase insofter fat. Some packers are raisingsome concerns about this issue.”

So what to do to firm up that porkfat on high distillers diets? Lessen theDDG content in the ration in late fin-ishing stage (three to four weeks) isthe more practical. But producershesitate to make that move because itlessens the economic advantage. Hissuggestion would be that if you’re inthat 35 to 40 percent DDG of totalration, drop down to 20 percent forthose last three to four weeks of thatfinishing period. He indicated differ-ent ethanol plants could offer DDG oflower fat content because they arefractionating some of that extra cornoil out of the kernel.

“What you are trying to do is reducethe unsaturated fat content (corn oil)in the late finishing period,” Johnstonsaid. “There are some other productssuch as CLA that improve fat firm-ness; even crude glycerol mightimprove fat firmness. So there aresome tools to work with on managingthis fat firmness. Reducing iodine val-ues of carcass fat is the objective.”

DDG nutrient content a greater concern this year

Perhaps greatly driven by increas-ing efforts to reduce feed costs, drieddistillers grains with solubles defi-nitely keep increasing in swinerations.

Because pigs are forgiving animalsthat perform well on many differentfeed combinations, challenges fornutritionists are to identify co-prod-ucts from the corn processing indus-try that most economically meet thenutritional and energetic needs ofswine.

The above comments by Hans Stein,a Danish swine nutritionist now atthe University of Illinois, were amongseveral “take home” points he pre-sented at the Sept. 20-21 MinnesotaNutrition Conference in Owatonna.With considerable interest andemphasis on the “energy content” of

feedstuffs, he pointed out that energyis not a nutrient.

When talking corn co-products fed toswine he listed six classes of nutrients:protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, min-erals, lipids and water.

“During the production of ethanol,sugars and most of the starch are fer-mented but not the protein, lipids,fiber and the ash in corn,” Stein said.“These nutrients are instead left in theco-products. The part of the corn ker-

nel that is not fermented is often par-tially dehydrated via centrifugationand then split into a distilled grainsfraction and a soluble fraction.”

Dried distillers grains and DDGScontain 9 percent to 14 percent crudefat and between 25 and 30 percentcrude protein. Stein pointed out, how-ever, that a major challenge in feedingDDGS is that it may result in soft bellyand back fat, so reducing the level ofDDGS during the final three to fourweeks prior to slaughter should beconsidered. If the fat concentration inDDGS is less than 9 percent, theenergy value will be reduced whichreduces product value.

Other co-products include high pro-tein distillers drain grain (40 to 42 per-cent protein), corn germ and corngluten meal. In diets fed to growingpigs, at least 40 percent high proteinDDG can be used and in diets to finish-ing pigs, high protein DDG mayreplace all the soybean meal. Also atleast 30 percent corn germ in diets canbe fed to growing-finishing pigs with-out impacting performance, and corngerm may be included with the addi-tion of DDGS.

Stein pointed out that DDGS may beincluded in diets fed to all groups of

pigs and energy values of thediets will not change, butreductions in dicalcium phos-

phate or monocalcium phos-phate may be reduced because of

the high concentrations of digestiblephosphorous in DDGS.

Among Stein’s observations:• DDGS may be up to 30 percent of

diets of all pigs. However for growingpigs and gestating sows’ diets of 45 to50 percent DDGS respectively can befed without major changes in animalperformance.

• DDGS contains 0.7 to 0.9 percentphosphorus, which has high digestibil-ity.

• High protein DDG may be includedin diets fed to growing pigs by at least40 percent and may replace all the soy-bean meal.

• Corn gluten meal is a high-proteiningredient with high digestibility butsynthetic amino acids (lysine and tryp-tophan) are recommended.

• Feed efficiency may be reduced ifcorn gluten feed or corn germ meal isused because of the low concentrationof metabolizable energy in these ingre-dients.

“Take the oil out of DDGS and youhave less energy. So increasing thedigestibility of these fibers is the issuefacing nutritionists,” Stein said. “Phy-tase, for example, increases thedigestibility of phosphorous in cornbut has little increase when added toDDGS. However it’s OK to be aggres-sive with DDGS in swine rations if it’seconomical. Based on today’s pricing,30 percent DDGS in the ration equatesto $10 more profit per pig.”

Stein: Up to 50 percent DDGS in swine rations OKHigh ratio only for growing pigs, gestating sows; 30 percent max for others

Michael Brumm says that betterunderstanding how to use the co-products of ethanol manufacturingis a key challenge to the academicworld, feed manufacturers and live-stock producers in their ongoingbattle to get more value out of eachdollar spent on feed.

Brumm, as a retired University of Nebraska live-stock nutritionist who now operates North Mankato,Minn.,-based Brumm Swine Consultancy Inc., has agood idea what he’s talking about.

“Where we’re at today is how can we extract just alittle bit more from every piece of fiber we feed,” hesaid. “And we don’t yet know these answers. Is itmore process engineering by ethanol plants, moreresearch by universities and feed companies, moregenetic manipulation by seed geneticists? This muchis obvious, however: with oil prices at $100 per bar-rel, ethanol plants make good money selling theethanol. If oil prices come down, then ethanol plants

have to find ways to transfer more income to the saleof DDGs and other co-products.”

As more co-products are extracted during this fab-rication process, such as “de-oiling” the DDGs, thevalue of the remaining product for the monogastricanimal decreases. You end up with more of thesehigher fiber products from which the pig has a moredifficult time extracting value.

Does this suggest further processing of these DDGfeedstuffs is a way to enhance their value? Brummsaid it depends upon whether the improved perform-ance gains offset the costs of the additional process-ing; and do you increase digestibility enough tomake it worthwhile?

“When you receive the product from the ethanolplant, how processed is it already?” he asked. He saidtremendous variation on DDG feed values still existswithin the ethanol industry, and this often dependsupon what is the “feed” market for a particularethanol plant.

“If the big portion of their DDGs are going into pigdiets, that plant is conscious of that requirement and

adjusts its processingaccordingly. If it’s goinginto ruminant diets, dairyor feedlot, then you’relooking for different qual-ity standards,” Brummsaid.

What’s ahead in thecorn ethanol processing pic-ture? Brumm said they all

are investigating removal of corn oil and that’s sim-ply a matter of following the money.

“The fat market today for corn oil, soybean oil, cot-ton seed oil, peanut oil and vegetable oils of anykind is about 55-cents a pound,” he said. “And withworld demand constantly increasing for these prod-ucts, the price will drive it. So I think they will keepattempting to extract more value at the ethanolplant which means the livestock industry will needto keep adjusting to these variable nutrient valuesof the DDG feedstuffs.”

He said that the feed business was started bypacking plants owning their own feed companies —Hormel Feeds, Morrill, Rath, etc. — because theyhad tremendous amounts of meat and bone meal tohandle. They began selling those products as live-stock supplements, and now it’s the ethanol indus-try generating a new feed industry.

“We’re doing history again with a different feedingredient. And this time it’s the ethanol industrythat has become the new grandfather,” Brumm said.

ST. PETER, Minn. — An area farmer hasreported that 150 pigs valued at more than $30,000have been stolen from barns near Lafayette.

Nicollet County authorities said Ryan Bodereported the theft on Sept. 16 after recently remov-ing all market-size pigs from four large barns. Herealized the pigs were missing after doing a count.

“It’s an odd deal, something you don’t see veryoften,” Nicollet County Sheriff ’s Office investigatorMarc Chadderdon said of the apparent rustling.

All that is known about the time of the theft is thatit happened sometime in the past month. It is notknown whether the pigs were all stolen at once.Chadderdon said a cattle semi can accommodate 180market-size (250 pounds) animals.

He said the thieves may have covertly gainedknowledge of the hog production operation lastmonth.

He said on Aug. 14 the Sheriff ’s Office took a reportof criminal damage and entry to a barn on the site.At the time, the pigs within weighed about 100pounds and none were taken.

“These guys obviously were going out and doingsome reconnaissance ahead of time,” Chadderdonsaid. The farm’s owner does not live on the site.

According to a Sept. 27 Minneapolis StarTribunestory, 594 hogs worth more than $100,000 werestolen from a farm in Kandiyohi County in centralMinnesota.

Farmers do what they do because they love it,and most of them couldn’t see themselves doinganything else.

Outside forces often take some of the shine off oftheir profession, but sometimes it takes an out-sider to tell you just how good you have it and togive you a pat on the back.

The Minnesota Pork Board and the Pork Check-off is providing pork producers with a WorkforceDevelopment Seminar — Swine Farms, A GreatPlace to Work — to reinforce the job that producersdo. The sixth annual WDS is slated for 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Oct. 18 at the Country Inn & Suites inMankato, Minn.

“This is designed to provide valuable training forproducers, managers,herdsmen, anyone inthe production cycle,”said Jeremy Geske,Minnesota PorkBoard assistant exec-utive director.Though this seminaris provided by theMPB and the PorkCheckoff, it is open toanyone involved inlivestock care andagriculture, regard-less where they callhome.

Bruce Vincent willkick off the seminar with the keynote address “So,You Want to Date My Daughter.” The synopsis ofthis talk states “We operate only with the consentof the public. Understanding society’s concernsabout environmental issues and animal husbandryissues (they LOVE the environment and animals…) is critical in positively engaging that publicbody.”

Vincent is a third-generation Montana loggerwho speaks throughout the United States and theworld to groups including resource, recreation,banking and business associations, legislative bod-ies, university campuses, and “anyone else whowould like to hear about our rural cultures.”

Vincent will also close the day’s agenda “WithVision, There is Hope: How Not to be the Career ofLast Choice.” The description of this presentationexplains “An entire generation of students hasbeen taught that career choices that include ‘get-ting your hands dirty’ are somehow less than ful-filling — at least for anyone with intelligence. Thiswrong-headed thought process is especially dan-gerous for the producers who feed, clothe and shel-ter humanity. This must change if we want ahealthy economy, protected planet and competentwork force.”

In between Vincent’s presentations will be JohnDeen with the University of Minnesota talkingabout euthanasia training, Darwin Reicks of theSwine Vet Center in St. Peter, Minn., discussingworking in a filtered barn, and Donna Rae Schef-

fert presenting leadership tools in “Fight, Flightor Engage: Employee Conflict Management.”

In addition to these presentations, producerswill be able to visit the “Training Tool Shed” togather resources for employee training and devel-opment, all free of charge to pork producers.

The Workforce Development Seminar fee is $20 ifpaid by Oct. 10, $40 at the door. Log on towww.mnpork.com/producers or contact JeremyGeske, (507) 345-8814, for more information.

A legal tango over a sweet Minnesota apple isleaving a bitter taste.

After a year-long tussle, a group of disgruntledMinnesota apple growers and the University ofMinnesota have agreed to end their battle over theSweeTango, a tasty sensation that takes the best ofthe popular Zestar and Honeycrisp varieties.

But it might be just the opening skirmish in TheGreat Minnesota Apple War.

“We’re not all going to fold and go quietly into thenight,” said Karl Townsend, owner of Dassel HillsideFarm.

Townsend was one of 15 growers who filed a law-suit last year over an exclusive licensing agreementthat the University of Minnesota struck with thePepin Heights Orchard.

Dennis Courtier, owner of Pepin Heights, saidSept. 19 that the lawsuit was frivolous. “It was goofy.... It was a lot of sour grapes over a sweet apple.”

Townsend and other growers said the exclusive

agreement limits their ability to grow, sell and ulti-mately profit from the SweeTango. In particular, thedeal keeps them from selling through wholesalers —an essential source of revenue for most orchards. Adistrict judge dismissed most of the claims in thegrowers’ suit in February, and on Sept. 19 both sidesannounced they settled the remaining dispute. Theexclusive deal with Pepin Heights Orchard remainsbut the University of Minnesota will increase thenumber of trees available to Minnesota growers.

The increase is welcome news for the small road-side orchards, but falls short of helping larger grow-ers, Townsend said. “It’s a joke,” he said.

The university’s restrictive rules on the SweeT-ango are meant to maintain a high-quality apple,protecting its value to the university. It was a lessonlearned after the university debuted the Honeycrispin 1991, but soon saw it planted in areas that causedquality to suffer.

That’s not what apple growers want to see happento the SweeTango. “It has fantastic flavor. It has fan-tastic crunch,” Courtier said. “But you have to do alot of things right to get it right.”

Townsend said the SweeTango’s quality and theuniversity’s revenue could have been protected with-out the exclusive agreement. Townsend said thegrowers don’t have the money to continue a courtfight so they’re moving the battle to another front byworking with private breeders to develop the nextorchard star.

“We already have two more exciting varieties inthe works,” he said. “The SweeTango is an earlyapple that doesn’t store well. We’re looking for thenext improved variety.”

By BRIAN OJANPAMankato Free Press

Lake Crystal, Minn., applegrower Larry Harbo spoke asif he were recounting how thehome team fared in a ball-game:

First we fell behind, thencame a rally, then we caughtup, now we’re trying to finishstrong.

“We’re kind of gettingbacked up in the orchardnow,” the Welsh HeritageFarm owner said the otherday of a 2011 apple crop thatweather has harassed as wellas helped.

Minnesota’s apple harvestis expected to be 10 to 18 per-cent larger than last year’s,and for orchard operatorssuch as Harbo, getting to thispoint was a roller coasterride.

“We started out behind,actually. The fifth of May is the average for bloomtime, but we didn’t bloom until the 15th and 20th.”

Harbo said the extended summer dry spell’s effectswere lessened due to plenty of subsoil moisture fromearly-season rains.

A recent spate of beneficial cool weather has accel-erated growth, he said, allowing his multiple applevarieties to ripen more or less en masse.

Hence the logjam of sorts on the packing line,where workers were processing Paula Reds and Har-alsons recently and soon will be packing Firesides

and Honeygolds.

Harbo sold a half-dozen or so varieties when hestarted in business more than 30 years ago. Now hehandles 18 varieties — the myriad choices a reflec-tion of how the industry markets to contemporaryconsumer wants.

“Apples are like wine,” he said. “If you go into a winery,you don’t expect to see one wine sitting there.”

With the marketplace demanding new varieties,the University of Minnesota’s apple breeding pro-gram the past few years has been hitting home runswith the likes of Honeycrisp, Zestar and, makingtheir first widespread appearances this fall, SweeT-angos.

Harbo has SweeTangos for sale but his own firstharvest is still three years off because he justacquired his trees this year. He doesn’t own them;growers have to lease them from a Lake Cityorchard the university has awarded exclusivelicensing rights.

A lawsuit challenging the licensing exclusivitydeal ended in September with a victory for theschool and the cooperative that markets the newvariety.

Such is the market-cornering apple industry in2011.

“The industry now controls the quality and theamount of growth,” Harbo said. “The idea is to keepa high-end apple in front of the public.”

If not in people’s yards. Harbo said it could be upto 20 years before SweeTango trees become avail-able to the general public.

Meantime, harvesting of the tried-and-trues aswell as the new continues this month — even as thetrees prepare themselves for next year.

Branches already have set their crops for nextseason. That happened in June.

Apple harvest blossoms despite rough growing season

John Cross/Mankato Free Press

Larry Harbo plucks apples at Welsh Heritage Farms orchard near Lake Crystal,Minn. Despite tumultuous summer weather, Minnesota apple growers plan toharvest 10 to 18 percent more apples than last year.

Memorial Park, Marshall, Minn.

“It’s been a phenomenal journey,” said Marc Klaith, Marshall, Minn.,Fire Chief and one of the leaders in bringing about the Memorial

Park that was dedicated on the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attackson Sept. 11. “We’ve had the beam for nine years.”

“The beam” is an eight-foot section of steel from the World Trade Centerthat Craig Schafer saw on a visit to the WTC recovery for the MinnesotaPollution Control Agency. Returning to Marshall he asked Klaith, “If weget one of these beams, can we do something with it?” They envisionedbuilding a memorial at the fire station. Schafer returned to New Yorkwith his pickup and trailer to get a beam.

Community leaders thought the memorial should be more visible. Plan-ning began anew in 2004 with landscape architect Gene Ernst, and thispast Sept. 11, Memorial Park was dedicated in downtown Marshall at thecity’s busiest intersection, U.S. Highway 59 and Minnesota Highway 19.

The memorial met thevision of Klaith andSchafer. They wantedthe beam where peoplecan touch it for personalcontact with the tragedy,but surrounded withgreenery and flowers toshow the continuance oflife after the tragedy,and they wanted a placewhere people can sit andreflect.

Ernst put muchthought and symbolisminto the design. Thebeam leans slightlytoward New York City.There are 10 limestoneblocks and the sculptureof a firefighter that spi-ral around the beam, 11elements for the 11thday of September. A totalof 3,000 paving stoneswith stars honor those who lost their lives that day — 61 blue stars forpolice, 343 red stars for firefighters, 2,596 black stars for civilians.

Two-thirds of the $400,000 cost was funded by corporate sponsors andindividual donations. The city of Marshall came up with the rest. Theacknowledgment of donors is separated from the actual memorial by awalking bridge over the Redwood River, which flows through the park.

Schafer and Klaith’s originally small vision grew into a memorial park.Why such a memorial in Marshall?

“We needed to show respect to the people in New York” and other 9/11sites, Klaith said. “What happened to them could have happened anyplace in the country. It shows we do care out here.”

It is also about telling the story to future generations, he said. Welearned about Pearl Harbor in school. This memorial will be a way to edu-cate children about a day in history that changed our nation.

Grain prices are effective cash close on Sept. 26. 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 AnglesGrains tumble as

money exitsGrain prices continue to tumble as the investor

money runs for the exits.December corn has lost $1.40 and November soy-

beans have lost $2 from their late-summer highprices. The crops are getting smaller, yet the pricescontinue to decline. There is aclear disconnect between grainprices and the fundamentals ofsupply-and-demand in the mar-kets.

The investment community isclearly spooked by the instabilityin the world economy. Investorshave developed a fear of holdingstocks and commodities in theirportfolios. They are keeping theircapital in “cash” or U.S. Trea-suries that are paying little inter-est. We are seeing the impact ofthe investors leaving the com-modity markets. We can see the impact they had onprices when they were buying commodities. We maybe finding the fundamental value of grain as theyleave the markets.

The other day I was visiting with a friend whofeeds cattle. He asked me what I thought the cornmarket was going to do. He needed to buy some cornand he generally likes to buy corn at harvest time.

We visited about the investor money coming out ofthe markets and the smaller crop. We talked aboutthe significant erosion in the price. I told him that Ithought there was still going to be plenty of volatil-ity in the markets as we still have several cropreports to come out this fall and demand wouldremain strong. We agreed that he should probably

fundamentalsThe following market analysis is for the week end-

ing Sept. 23.CORN — We experienced another devastating

drop across commodity markets this week after ableak economic statement from Federal ChairmanBen Bernanke that warned of“significant downside risk to theU.S. economy.”

Massive deleveraging ensued.This week was about macroeco-nomics and had little to do withfundamental or technical consid-erations. The U.S. dollar indexcorrespondingly rallied to itshighest level since February andup 1.43 points for the week, theDow dove 791 points for the weekas of midday Friday, and crude oilplummeted $8.33 to $79.85 perbarrel.

Confidence in overall demand and economicstrength is weak and was reflected in money action.The Federal Reserve announced a plan to lower long-term borrowing costs by selling $400 billion short-term maturity debt and buy a like amount of longerterm maturities.

This week Moody’s downgraded the rating of Bankof America, Wells Fargo and Citigroup. Fund sellingoverpowered anything to do with fundamentals; nei-ther the crop size nor demand changed significantlythis week. Carryouts are still tight.

Talk about China’s corn needs has not materializedinto any purchases at this point. COFCO, China’sstate-owned grain trader, hinted that they maybecome an importer of 5 million metric tons to 10

Livestock AnglesOutside markets

have inside impactThe livestock markets have seen some volatile days

during the first half of September. Most of thisvolatility has been in response to the outside mar-kets, particularly the financial markets. One shouldexpect this type of market behavior as long as theworld economic situation remainson questionable ground.

The cattle market was espe-cially influenced by the shakyworld economy as commodityfunds exited their long positionsover the past several weeks. Thisliquidation caused the futures tobe under pressure and forced thefeedlots to move inventory atlower prices to maintain a posi-tive basis.

The other major factor thatpressured the market was thefact that when the beef cutoutsreached the $185 per hundredweight area basischoice retailers backed away, reflecting consumerresistance to the higher prices. At the same time thepackers had paid in excess of these cutout levels on alive basis and profit margins disappeared, forcingtheir bids to be less aggressive.

On Sept. 23 the U.S. Department of Agriculturereleased a Monthly Cattle on Feed Report. Theresults were: Cattle on feed as of Sept. 1 105 percent;placed in August; 99 percent; marketed in August,107 percent. The report was seen as bullish since theplacement number was lower than trade guesses, aswell as the total number on feed and the marketednumber greater than anticipated.

NYSTROM, from pg. 1Bmmt in the near future. SouthKorea was a buyer of 195,000 mt ofoptional-origin corn during the week.

Trying to pick a new support level is difficultwhen money is what is moving the market and buy-ers have kept on the sidelines.

Weekly export sales were as expectedat 23.6 million bushels. Totalexport commitments aredown 9 percent from lastyear when total exportsare forecast to be down10 percent for the year.Ethanol production fell8,000 barrels per daylast week versus theprevious week, but isup 2.5 percent from thesame week last year.

Informa Economicsupdated their acreage andcrop estimates on Sept. 23.Their refreshed 2011 corn acreagefigure is 91.862 million acres, down 420,000 acresfrom the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 92.3 mil-lion number. Their corn production estimate at12.62 billion bushels is predicated on a yield of150.7 bushels per acre. This compares to the USDASeptember 12.5 billion bushel crop estimate using148.1 bu./acre.

Informa also put their starting point for 2012 cornacres at 94.3 million acres.

OUTLOOK: Financial events ruled this week, butfundamentals should work back into the equation.One private firm lowered their average corn yieldfrom the USDA’s 148.1 bu./acre to 147.3 bu./acre.

From a techni-cal viewpoint,

the Decembercontract broke through the200-day $6.41 support level.The next level of support isthe 50-day moving averageof $6.21/bu. December cornplunged 53 1/2 cents lowerthis week to close at $6.381/2/bu.

SOYBEANS — Soybeanssuffered the same plight ascorn, tumbling to six-weeklows. The November con-tract crashed 97 1/2 cents lower for the week toclose at $12.58/bu.

China showed up as a buyer of 416,000 mt ofU.S. beans this week, but it did little to hinder

the money exiting markets. Fundamentalsincluded weak demand and approaching harvest,

with yields still unknown.Weakness in the Brazilian Real versus the U.S. dol-

lar was also cited as a factor in soybean losses thismonth.

Export sales were good at nearly 15 millionbushels. Total commitments are down 23 percentwhen compared to last year. Total export sales areonly expected to be down 5.4 percent this year.

Informa Economics is now estimating this year’ssoybean acreage at 75.0 million acres, putting pro-

duction at 3.092 billionbushels using 41.9 bu./acre.The September USDA reportused 75 million acres, 41.8bu./acre and production at3.085 billion bushels.

Informa’s preliminary 2012soybean planted acreagenumber is 75.8 million acres.

OUTLOOK: While thelonger-term outlook for soy-beans is higher, we couldspend time closer to $12before harvest is complete.Prices have fallen more than

anticipated and there’s no indication we’ve com-pleted the downward spiral.

Soybeans were able to stay above the $12.50 psy-chological support, but the calendar year low setMarch 15 at $12.38 may be beckoning.

Additional comments: Contract changes for theweek ending Sept. 23: Minneapolis down 5 1/4 centswhile the Chicago contract lost 47 1/2 cents andKansas City fell 52 3/4 cents. Crude oil dropped$8.33 to $79.85, heating oil dove 21.12 cents, gasolineplunged 23.43 cents and natural gas lost 15.6 cents.As of mid-afternoon Friday, the Dow was off 791points for the week, the U.S. dollar index was up 1.43points and October gold declined $171.10 per ounce.

The next report to watch for is the Sept. 30 release ofthe Grain Stocks as of Sept. 1 report.

No indication that soybean spiral is completed

TEALE, from pg. 1Bcated building stocks of beef which would reflect theresistance to the higher beef prices. Nevertheless, itis highly likely we will see another attempt to pushprices higher. If there is little change in the worldfinancial problems, then the rally will likely fail. Pro-ducers should be cognizant of market conditions anduse excessive strength to protect inventories.

The hog market has faired a little better throughall the market uneasiness over the past few weeks.With pork cutouts at half the price of beef cutoutsthe retailers are moving more to pork featuring

rather than the beef. This kept the live price fairlysteady to higher as the packers continued to showinterest in acquiring inventory.

The only deterrent to much higher prices would bethe fact that the USDA Cold Storage Report indi-cated that the stocks of pork in cold storage has beenon the increase. With the dollar gaining groundagainst most other currencies, the export market hasslowed. Couple this with the financial uneasinessand a sustained rally seems not likely at this time.Producers are urged to be patient and use any exces-sive strength in the market to protect inventories.

Pork producers urged to practice patience

NEHER, from pg. 1Btake some coverage for the next quarter of the year.

When we look at the economics of growing cornnext year, we can make the case for significantlymore acres to be planted. Even with corn having asignificantly higher cost of production than soy-beans; it remains more profitable to grow corn withtoday’s prices.

This could encourage many more acres to beplanted to corn next spring. Many in the trade areestimating that 91 million to 94 million acres may beplanted to corn in the United States for the 2012-13crop. Brazil and Argentina are also expected to plantmore acres of corn this fall. With average yields, this

could help rebuild world corn stocks.Given the significant costs (risk) incurred with

growing corn, it will be important to manage the riskinvolved. It may be prudent to lay some of the risk offonto the market, by selling enough 2012 corn to coverthe fixed cost of land, machinery, prepaid seed, fertil-izer and family living. If we were to see $4 corn nextyear, unhedged risk could be financially damaging.

The longer that I am involved with these markets,the more that I know I don’t know. When my friendasked me about the corn market, I should have said;“I have no idea.” I do know that we are looking atsome profitable opportunities. Managing the mar-gins will be our “Grain Angle.”

Unhedged risk could be damaging

From a technical viewpoint,the December contract brokethrough the 200-day $6.41support level. The next level ofsupport is the 50-day movingaverage of $6.21/bu. Decem-ber corn plunged 53 1/2 centslower this week to close at$6.38 1/2/bu.

August cow numbers in the 23 major dairy statestotaled 8.47 million head, up 3,000 head from July,and 102,000 more than a year ago. Output per cowaveraged 1,810 pounds, up 18 from a year ago.

California milk output was up 2.9 percent from ayear ago, thanks to 24,000 more cows and a 30-pound gain per cow while Wisconsin was up 1.2percent on a 20-pound gain per cow. Cow numberswere up 1,000 head.

Third-place Idaho was up 3.9 percent on 11,000more cows and a 40-pound gain per cow. New Yorkwas down a half percent on a 5-pound loss per cowand 1,000 fewer cows. Pennsylvania was down 2.1percent on a 30-pound loss per cow and 2,000 fewercows, and Minnesota saw a 4.5 percent drop due toa 75-pound loss per cow. Cow numbers were up1,000 head.

The biggest gain was 11.1 percent in Texas whereoutput per cow jumped a whopping 100 pounds andcow numbers were up 20,000. Next was Florida, up9.9 percent on a 65-pound gain per cow and 5,000more cows, followed by Washington, up 6.7 percenton a 30-pound gain per cow and 13,000 more cows.

The biggest drop occurred in Missouri, down 7.9percent, due to a 60-pound drop per cow and 3,000fewer cows. Minnesota was next, followed by Ohio,down 2.8 percent, on a 20-pound drop per cow and4,000 fewer cows.

■

Weather had varying effects on output per cow;up in Michigan, Iowa, Kansas, Wisconsin and Indi-ana as temperatures and humidity moderated fromJuly, while Western output showed consistent gainsper cow and cow numbers. eDairy economist BillBrooks wrote in the Sept. 20 Insider Opening Bellthat the August gain was “above average and com-pared to strong growth a year-ago.”

The USDA’s Livestock Slaughter report shows anestimated 244,600 culled dairy cows were slaugh-tered under federal inspection in August, up 37,500from July and 13,700 more than August 2010. Jan-uary to August dairy cow slaughter was estimatedat 1.909 million head, up 83,400 from the sameperiod in 2010.

MIELKE, from pg. 3BTotal cheese stocks, at 1.06 billionpounds, were down 2 percent from Julyand virtually unchanged from a year ago.

The cash cheese market dropped fol-lowing the milk production report butinched up following the Cold Storagedata. The 40-pound cheese blocks closedSept. 23 at $1.7275 per pound, down anickel on the week, and 2.25 centsbelow a year ago. The 500-pound bar-rels closed at $1.7075, down a pennyand a quarter on the week, and 2.75cents below a year ago. Twenty-five carsof block and 22 of barrel traded handson the week. The National AgriculturalStatistics Service-surveyed U.S. averageblock price fell to $1.8159, down 5.9cents, and the barrels averaged$1.7815, down 2.2 cents.

Spot butter closedFriday at $1.77, downanother 13.25 centson the week, and 46 cents below ayear ago. It has lost 23.5 cents in fourweeks. Three cars found new homesthis week. NASS butter averaged$1.9393, down 9.6 cents.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk heldall week at $1.49 while the ExtraGrade lost 3 cents, slipping to $1.58.NASS powder averaged $1.5364,down 2.1 cents, and dry whey aver-aged 59.08 cents, up 0.2 cent.

The October federal order Class Ibase milk price was announced by theUSDA at $19.56 per hundredweight,down $2.22 from September, but still$2.98 above October 2010. It equatesto about $1.68 per gallon and pulledthe 2011 average down to $19.26, still$4.26 above a year ago at this time

and $8.17 above 2009.The NASS butter price

averaged $1.9893/lb.,down 9.6 cents from September. Non-fat dry milk averaged $1.5461, down3.4 cents. Cheese averaged $1.8347,down 3.2 cents, and dry whey aver-aged 59 cents, up 2.6 cents.

The Chicago Mer-cantile Exchange’sDaily Dairy Reportwarns that Americanscontinue to drink lessmilk. Estimated milkuse in the May-to-July period was off2.4 percent from lastyear and down 4.3percent from two yearsago, according to federalorder and California data. Sales weredown 1.8 percent in the first sevenmonths of the year and July was theworst month in at least 15 years,according to the DDR. The USDA sayssales were down 4.5 percent from ayear ago, however estimated sales oftotal organic fluid milk productsincreased 10.7 percent from 2010.

In politics, with the issue of supplymanagement threatening the futureof the National Milk Producers Feder-ation’s “Foundation for the Future”dairy policy reform proposal, the Fed-eration announced it would modify itsplan. Dairy Profit Weekly editor DaveNatzke reported in his Friday Dairy-Line program that the revisionswould make participation in the sup-ply management portion voluntary.However, participation in the supplymanagement program, called theDairy Management Stabilization Pro-gram, would be a prerequisite forfarmer eligibility for income insur-ance payments under the Dairy Pro-ducer Margin Protection Program.

“By making the program voluntaryinstead of mandatory, it also elimi-nates another controversial area,”Natzke said. “Under the previousplan, half of all money collected underthe Dairy Management Stabilization

Program would have gone to the U.S.Treasury. Now, all funds could go topurchase dairy products to be used forfeeding programs.”

Instead of specifying comprehensivechanges to the federal milk marketingorder system, the revised plan man-dates the USDA to replace currentend-product pricing formulas and

make allowanceswith a competitivepay price formula,but leaves themethod up to a dairyfarmer vote.

The plan still callsfor elimination of theDairy Price Supportand MILC programsand the revisionswere rolled into leg-islation drafted byRep. Collin Peterson,D-Minn., rankingmember on theHouse ag committee,and Rep. Mike Simp-son, Idaho Republi-can.

In a Friday morn-ing conference call,

Peterson said that he would introducethe bill (“Dairy Security Act of 2011”)that afternoon in the House withNMPF’s modifications. He said sup-port is growing for the plan but,because of delays in getting the origi-nal bill scored by the CongressionalBudget Office, it will now likely bepart of the new farm bill. The Inter-national Dairy Foods Association saidthe changes to the FFTF still “missthe mark.”

Natzke also reported that a seconddairy policy reform plan was outlinedthis week, this one from U.S. Sen.Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., a member ofthe Senate ag committee. Gillibrand’splan addresses the supply managementissue by limiting it to regional supplyand demand conditions, instead of anational balancing plan. She would alsoincorporate income insurance into theexisting MILC program, using produc-tion limits to determine insurance pay-ment eligibility and asks the USDA toevaluate changes to federal milk mar-keting orders.

U.S. pork producersare receiving a positivereturn on their Checkoffinvestment in international marketsthrough the U.S. Meat Export Federa-tion, according to a study by HarryKaiser, the Gellert Family Professorof Applied Economics and Manage-ment, at Cornell University.

The economic analysis of theUSMEF’s Export Market Develop-ment Programs was commissioned bythe USMEF to quantify the returnsthat the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture’s Foreign Agriculture Serviceand the Pork Checkoff programsreceived from their investments inthe USMEF’s export market develop-ment programs.

The study also quantified the contri-bution of the USMEF’s programs tothe growth in exports that hasoccurred over the past decade. Pro-ducer investments account for roughly50 percent of the USMEF’s expendi-tures on export promotion programsand the Foreign Agriculture Service

funds account for the other half.“It’s important to producers to under-

stand and quantify the value of theirinvestments,” said Craig Christensen,chair of the Pork Checkoff’s Trade Com-mittee and a producer from Ogden,Iowa. “The results indicated a positiveimpact of export market developmentand promotion on imports of U.S. pork.”

Specifically, the study found:• An average annual increase in net

pork industry revenue due to theUSMEF’s programs ranging from$39.9 million to $169.7 million

• A contribution of 324 millionpounds per year to the growth of U.S.pork exports over the past 10 yearsand

• A median return on investment ofdollars at $7.42 to $1.

The research was conducted using aneconomic model which utilized statisti-cal procedures to help researchersaccount for the impact of a variety offactors that affected import demand,including price of imports of U.S. pork,price of imports of pork from othercountries, consumer income in import-ing countries, exchange rates and theUSMEF expenditures on pork exportmarket development.

Eight importing regions, accountingfor 82 percent of U.S. pork exports,were used in the model. Mexico, SouthKorea, Hong Kong, EU, Japan, Taiwan,China, Russia, Mexico and Japan hadthe highest gains in imports due toexport market development.

The USMEF has been performingmarket development activities in

numerous markets since 1976, withthe goal of increasing demand for U.S.pork by improving product image,increasing market presence, promot-ing total carcass utilization and pro-viding trade support. Nearly 24 per-cent of U.S. pork and pork variety meatproduction was exported in 2010.

Much of Minnesota’s corn crop was damaged byfrost on the morning of Sept. 15, according to Uni-versity of Minnesota Extension corn agronomistJeff Coulter.

For corn, a killing freeze occurs when temperaturesare 32 degrees Fahrenheit for four hours or 28 F for justminutes. But according to Coulter, “A frost or killingfreeze can still occur above 32 degrees, especially in lowand unprotected areas when there is no wind.”

Symptoms of frost damaged cornCorn leaves are more easily dam-

aged by frost than stalks. In addition,leaves above the ears are more susceptible thanleaves below the ear. Leaves damaged by frost ini-tially have a water-soaked appearance, are lightgreen to gray after drying, and later turn brown. Ablack layer will form prematurely when kernels arekilled before maturing. “Wait a few days before

scouting fields to assess the impact offrost,” Coulter said. “If the frost is not

severe enough to cause premature for-mation of the kernel black layer, the kernels will con-tinue to accumulate dry matter.”Yield, moisture and quality

Frost damage to corn reduces grain and silageyields, grain test weight and silage quality. However,yield and quality reductions depend on the cropstage when frost occurs and the severity of the frost.If leaves above the ear are damaged by frost butleaves below the ear are unharmed, then yield lossesare expected to be reduced.

When corn harvesting conditions allow optimaltime for in-field drying, taking full advantage canreduce on-farm energy consumption. A new publica-tion from Iowa State University Extension and Out-reach explains the basic principles of energy manage-ment for grain drying.

“Improving Corn Drying Efficiency” (PM 2089Q) isavailable to download from the Extension OnlineStore, https://store.extension.iastate.edu.

This publication explains corn moisture content,plant physiology and the fundamental principles ofdrying corn following harvest. Topics include in-fielddrying, considerations for selecting earlier maturinghybrids and recommendations for holding corn “wetand cold” through the winter. When conditions allow,implementing some or all of these techniques canhelp growers reduce fuel bills for grain drying.

“Both over-drying and under-drying corn can lead towasted energy and lost grain quality,” said ShawnShouse, ISU Extension agricultural engineer. “Con-sider options to reduce your drying needs and man-age your drying system closely during changingweather and grain conditions to reduce energy useand maintain grain quality.”

For more tips on energy efficiency around the farm-stead, log on to http://farmenergy.exnet.iastate.edu orfollow @ISU_Farm_Energy on Twitter.

The Farm Energy publications are part of a series offarm energy conservation and efficiency educationalmaterials being developed through the ISU FarmEnergy Initiative. The purpose is to increase farmers’awareness of opportunities for improving efficient useof farm energy. The initiative also will help farmersand utility providers to explore opportunities toreduce farm energy demand and to improve overallprofitability in a rapidly changing energy environ-ment.

The dry conditions that occurredduring the last four to six weeks inmuch of Minnesota accelerated cropmaturity. Most of the corn that wasplanted during the first three weeks ofMay was beyond the half-milk kernelstage (R5.5) when damaged, and there-fore grain yield losses in these fieldsare expected to be low. However, inregions where corn was planted in lateMay or early June, the corn wasaround the R5.75 stage (25 percentmilk) when damaged.

Corn that is severely damaged byfrost often has kernels that are more

susceptible to cracking, grain that isless digestible and silage that has lessenergy (starch) and more fiber thannormal. Grain with severe frost dam-age and light test weight should bemonitored for mycotoxins before feed-ing to livestock.

Typical in-field dry-down rates for corngrain in Minnesota are available fromthe related Crop News article found atwww.extension.umn.edu/go/1079.

how genetic selec-tion and breedingimpact performance and carcass traitsis a critical step in preparing for today’svalue-based beef market. The Min-nesota Carcass Merit Program providescattle producers an opportunity toobserve, understand and, if necessary,re-direct genetic selectionand breeding efforts in theircow herds to produce higherquality calves.

This program is open tocattle producers wishing totest the performance poten-tial and carcass merit of theirfeeder calves. University ofMinnesota Extension Beef Teammembers provide each participantwith detailed information on the liveperformance and carcass characteris-tics of each of their calves entered intothe program.

The program is held at the Rose-mount Research and Outreach Centerat UMore Park in Rosemount, Minn.The producer is responsible for trans-port of cattle.

Advantages of entering your cattle inthe Minnesota Carcass Merit Program:

• Discovery of the feedlot perform-ance and carcass value of your calves

• Use of feed intake, weight gain andefficiency, and carcass data to deter-mine effects of genetic selection

• Test concept of retainedownership to enhance prof-

itability of cow herd• Commingling of cattle into larger

groups to improve marketability• Alternative outlet for your calf cropCosts to the producer:• $30 per head entry fee• $0.25 per head daily yardage fee

• Feed at current costsplus adjustment forshrink

• Any veterinary andmedicine costs

The feed delivery fee,yardage and veterinary feeare all charged against the

final selling price of calves.Therefore, the only out-of-

pocket cost for producers is the $30 perhead entry fee. More detailed require-ments for entry into the program areavailable on the Beef Team website atwww.extension.umn.edu/beef.

The registration deadline for entryinto the program is Oct. 14. Cattledelivery will occur on Nov. 1-2 at thefeedlot in Rosemount.

Balancing the federal budget and makingbudget reductions have been receiving majorattention in recent months.

Major developments have included the debtceiling-deficit reduction bill passed by Con-gress this past summer, the current 12-mem-ber Congressional Super Committee that wasnamed to develop an adjustment plan for thefederal budget deficit and the release of Presi-dent Obama’s plan for deficit reduction.

If the Congressional Super Committee can-not reach an agreement, the administrationwill be authorized to make across-theboard cuts in nearly all federal programs.

As Congress and others look for placesto cut the federal budget, U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture spending that is authorizedunder the farm bill is often mentioned. The currentfarm bill, the “Food, Conservation and Energy Act of2008,” will govern farm commodity, conservation,food and nutrition, and other USDA administeredprograms through Sept. 30, 2012, which will be thefinal crop year under the current farm bill.

Funding allocations under the current farm billare based on a 10-year cycle (2008-17).

Currently, the Supplemental Nutrition AssistanceProgram, which includes food stamps, the school lunchprogram, women, infants and children nutrition pro-gram, etc., accounts for 74 percent of all USDA annualspending. Federal spending on farm commodity pro-

grams, including dairy, crop insurancesupport, conservation programs andother farm-related programs is approxi-mately 18 percent of the total annualUSDA budget. The other 8 percent ofannual USDA spending is for all otherprograms, including ag research, ruraldevelopment, energy and forestry.

The next farm bill that governs allUSDA programs will likely be writtenby Congress in the next 12 to 18months, with a “large shadow” beingcast by the ongoing efforts to reduce

the federal budget deficit. Every-one from congressional leaders topresidential candidates, from

farm organizations to consumergroups, from environmentalists to the taxpayergroups, are offering ideas and suggestions for thenext farm bill, and future USDA spending.

President Obama’s “Plan for Economic Growth andDeficit Reduction,” which was recently released,included some specific recommendations on federalspending on government farm programs, which couldlikely impact the writing of the next farm bill. TheObama administration released a fact sheet on pro-posals to reduce the budget deficit, while still sup-porting rural communities. Following are some of theadministration’s proposals.

• Eliminate unnecessary direct payments.• Modernize the crop insurance program to reduce

cost and improve efficiency.• Better target agricultural conservation assis-

tance.• Extend mandatory disaster assistance to

strengthen the “safety net” for farmers.Let’s take a closer look at the Obama administra-

tion proposals, along with the current discussions inCongress regarding some of the most common andvisible current USDA programs, and analyze whatthe likelihood is for future cuts in federal spending.Eliminate unnecessary direct payments

When it comes to reducing USDA spending forfarm programs, the most commonly mentioned pro-

posal is to cut or eliminate payments to farmers.Direct payments became part of government farm

programs with the so-called “Freedom-to-Farm” farmbill in 1996. The direct payments were to replace themore “open-ended” farm program payments, whichexisted prior to the 1996 legislation.

Direct payments are “fixed” payments per crop baseacre, and are paid to eligible farmers each year, regard-less of the actual crop yields, crop prices or farmincome. The direct payment levels and formulas havebeen modified slightly by the 2002 and 2008 farm bills.

The administration wants to eliminate $30 billionin spending on direct payments over the next 10years, or about $3 billion per year. Estimated currentannual federal spending on direct payments isapproximately $4.9 billion per year.

The average crop revenue (ACRE) program alterna-tive was added in the 2008 farm bill as a “safety net”alternative for crop producers. However, the program isquite complicated, and enrollment has been relativelylow. Total federal spending for the current fiscal year fordirect and ACRE payments is estimated at $4.71 billion.Total farm program payments to producers for 2011,including dairy and livestock payments, are estimatedat $10.2 billion, which is down nearly 18 percent from2010 spending levels, and is the lowest USDA outlay forfarm program payments since 1997.

There is a big difference in the amount of direct pay-ments producers receive for various farm crops. Southernrice producers receive an average of $96 per crop baseacre and cotton growers receive approximately $34 perbase acre in direct payments annually, compared to anaverage of about $24 per acre for Midwest corn producers.

Farmers in the South received an average 30 to 40percent of their net income in 2010 from governmentfarm program payments, while Midwest farmers aver-aged less than 20 percent of net income from those pay-ments. This accounts for some of the regional differencesregarding the need for continuation of direct payments.

Some farm organizations, including the NationalCorn Growers Association, have called for elimina-tion of direct payments in the next farm bill, with

Some members of Congress want tototally eliminate direct payments,ACRE and all program supports forfarmers, citing the current high levelsof net farm income. Program reduc-tions or elimination of direct paymentsare likely to happen in the next farmbill, if not earlier during other legisla-tion related to the federal budgetdeficit; however, some type of “safety-net” program will likely be continued.Modernize crop insurance program to reduce cost andimprove efficiency

Most farmers, ag lenders and agorganizations are quite adamant aboutmaintaining support for the federalcrop insurance program, which is cur-rently utilized as a “safety net” onapproximately 83 percent of the eligi-ble U.S. crop acres to guard againstreduced crop yields and crop revenues.

The federal government subsidizescrop insurance to keep insurance pre-mium levels more affordable for farm-ers. The programs have been expandedin recent years to offer similar “safetynet” programs to livestock producers.

The Obama administration wants tostreamline the administrative costs forcrop insurance, cut the administrativesupport to private crop insurance agentsand reduce the premium subsidies onmost levels of crop insurance coverage.The target is to save about $8 billion infederal spending over the next 10 yearson crop insurance programs.

Some observers feel that the federalgovernment may be moving closer totaking over total administration of thecrop insurance program, rather thanthe partnership with private insurancecompanies that currently exists.

In 2010, Congress cut approximately$6 billion in expected future crop insur-ance expenditures. Federal expenditureson crop insurance vary from year-to-yeardepending on total losses in a given year.Many members of Congress continue toadvocate for continued federal supportfor a strong crop insurance program, andto keep premiums for upgraded crop rev-enue insurance coverage at affordablelevels for most crop producers.

While there may be some reductionsin the future premium subsidies andadministration costs, federal supportfor crop insurance is not likely to betotally eliminated, and the crop insur-ance program will likely continue to be

administered by privatecompanies.Better target agricultural conservation assistance

The Obama administration is propos-ing to reduce federal spending on con-servation programs by $2 billion overthe next 10 years. This would beaccomplished by better targeting con-servation funding to the most cost-effective and environmentally friendlyprograms and practices.

While there are few specifics on whatthe proposed cuts in conservationspending would include, manyobservers expect the cuts to comethrough combining and streamliningsome existing conservation programs,such as the Environmental QualityAssurance Program and the Conserva-tion Security Program.

Under the Obama Plan, there wouldstill be $60 billion in federal spendingallotted over the next decade for conser-vation programs. The best-known popu-lar federal conservation program is theConservation Reserve Program, whichallows land owners to place environmen-tally sensitive farm land into long-termland set-aside program. CRP partici-pants receive annual CRP rental pay-ments on the farm land that is idled.

For fiscal year 2011, there are currentlyabout 31.2 million acres under some typeof CRP contract in the United States,resulting in an annual total budget outlayof approximately $1.85 billion. CurrentCRP contracts were to expire on 4.4 mil-lion acres on Sept. 30, 2011, with another6.5 million acres set to expire in 2012,and 3.3 million acres in 2013.

Some see reducing the total acres inCRP, along with more restrictions onacres that are eligible for CRP, as away to reduce federal spending; how-ever, a strong CRP will likely be main-tained in the future.Extend mandatory disaster assistance to strengthen the“safety net” for farmers

The Obama administration recom-mended extending $8 billion in federalspending over the next 10 years for amandatory disaster program for farmers,which would extend the funding for thoseprograms for the 2012-16 crop years.Funding for the Supplemental RevenueAssistance program will expire after the2011 fiscal year, meaning the SURE pro-gram will no longer be available after the2011 crop year, unless funding is extended.

The SURE program, or permanent disas-ter program, was initiated as part of the2008 farm bill, with bipartisan supportfrom many members of Congress from

rural states.The SUREprogram provides farmers

with approximately an extra15 percent revenue coverage above theircrop insurance coverage on eligible cropsraised during a given crop year.

Many farm groups have complained thatthe SURE program involves complicatedpayment formulas, which do not allow forpotential SURE payments to be madeuntil a year after a crop disaster actuallyoccurs. Originally, the SURE program was

intended to replace the continual need forad-hoc federal disaster programs forfarmers, following natural disastersacross the United States. Even with theSURE program in existence, Congres-sional requests for ad-hoc disaster assis-tance has continued in recent years.Reductions in SNAP programs

PROGRAMS, from pg. 11Bspending, the Obama administrationdid not propose any cuts or revisionsto that program.

In the debt ceiling legislation that was passed thispast summer by Congress, food stamps, along withSocial Security and Medicare, were protected fromspending cuts. Many observers feel that the 12-memberfederal budget committee will not propose cuts to mostnutrition programs under the SNAP program. However,if there is no budget agreement, and mandated spend-ing cuts are implemented, some SNAP programs couldbe affected. In the past, strong USDA spending on foodand nutrition programs has been used as a tool forfarm-state lawmakers to garner enough broad-basedCongressional support to pass farm bills.

Most likely, we will not see major reductions inthe future federal budget outlay for SNAP pro-grams in the next farm bill.Bottom line

One of the Obama administration proposals relatedto rural America was to “pursue balanced deficit reduc-tion to prevent drastic cuts.” They reference the need toaddress federal income tax structure, in addition to

making the proposed by budget adjust-ments in federal spending for futurefarm-related programs.

The Obama administration has proposed over $40 bil-lion in federal spending on direct payments, crop insur-ance and conservation programs over the next 10 years,while adding back about $8 billion for continued fundingof the SURE program for the next five years (2012-16).

Overall, the Obama administration proposed $3.6trillion in spending reductions over the next 10years, with the goal of balancing the federal budget.Of that amount, approximately $1.5 trillion will besaved from troop removals out of Iraq andAfghanistan, and $1.5 trillion will come from tax-related initiatives, leaving $600 billion in savings

from all other federal government program spending.Of that amount, a cut of $32.3 billion over 10 years

would come from direct payments, crop insuranceand conservation programs, which would represent5.5 percent of the total proposed cuts.

Current annual spending on those three programsrepresents only 0.4 percent of total federal spending.This has caused some farm groups and others toquestion the balance and fairness of the cuts to agri-cultural programs that are being proposed.

As we start what we hope is a bountiful harvestand near-record high prices, many farmers maystruggle with managing the volume of dollars thatyou are now dealing with.

For most farmers, especially those who are a littlemore seasoned, trying to figure out what to do withthe “extra” dollars has not been the norm. In a typi-cal year at this time you would be prioritizing yourneeds to see what you could afford to purchase thisyear. For many crop farms you now have the abilityto take some of those items off the wish list and putthem to work on your farm.

The question is: What capital purchases can youmake that help you manage your business from allangles? You want to do some tax management whileat the same time allow your farm business to handlea few more acres, or at least make it easier for theacres you currently farm. Here are a some manage-ment practices to think about during these times.

Improving the efficiency of your operation by invest-ing in cost-saving technology might be a start. Auto-matic guidance systems and seed shut-offs save moneyin the long run. Another option may be to reduce debtby looking for the highest interest rate loans and pay-ing them off. If the fee or penalty charge is minimal, fixinterest rates on anything that you can. Improve yourgrain handling facilities that allow you to be more effi-cient during those crunch times. Invest in good labor onthe farm. If you have employees who do a good job andyou would like to keep them around and interested inyour farm, give them a raise or a bonus. It makes it a loteasier for them to stay tuned into the details, whichequates to better production for you.

Perhaps the most important factor while managingall of this is to make some changes or capital pur-chases without accumulating debt that you cannotafford during normal times. If you cannot afford thecash expenditure with $3 corn, then do not spend themoney when corn is $7.

Do you know what information is in your creditreports? Many people have no idea what informationis in these reports, and more often than you mightthink, there may bemistakes in one or allthree of them.

It is a good idea to check these reports on a regularbasis. You should know what information people orbusinesses can get about you when they request acredit report.

If some of that information is incorrect it would beto your benefit to know that and get it corrected. Youhave the right to correct any incorrect information,but you cannot change unfavorable information if it iscorrect.

You are able to get one free copy of your creditreport per year from each of the three main services:Equifax, TransUnion and Experian.

You can request all three at one time, or you mayget one now, another about four months from now andthe last one four months later so that you can occa-sionally keep an eye on your credit during the year.All three services may or may not have the exactsame information about you.

There is only one truly free site to request yourcredit reports — www.annualcreditreport.com. Youcan see and print your credit report within a few min-utes, after verifying your identity. There are otheroffers on the internet of a free credit report, but theytypically require you to sign up for other, often expen-sive, programs.

You will not get your FICO score as part of thesereports, but for less than $10 you can get a creditscore that is not the official FICO score. For a higheramount, you may be able to purchase your FICOscore. The FICO score is what your lender will mostlikely be using. You may be able to get your FICOscore by asking your lender. When requesting yourcredit report, you will also be asked if you want toenroll in other services, but will not be pushed toaccept them.

Each person will have their own credit reports, soyou and your spouse should each request your ownreports. You will not have a joint report in bothnames. The credit reporting services do not knowinglykeep any information on minor children.

You can also request your reports by phone at (877)322-8228. You will go through a verification processover the phone. Your reports will come by mail in twoto three weeks.

Late planting, immature corn andthe cost of drying wet corn have manyproducers considering harvesting sometype of high-moisture corn this year. Which methodyou choose is a factor of what harvesting equipmentyou have available or personal preference.

• High-moisture shelled corn and/or corn and cobmeal (which has some of the cob) is harvested witha combine, and adjustments allow various amountsof cob in the grain.

• High-moisture ear corn (earlage) is usually har-vested with a corn picker.

• Snaplage is harvested with a forage harvesterwith a kernel processor and has a snapper head.The kernel processor should be set to crack all of thekernels and break the entire cob into pieces smallerthan a thumbnail.

There’s renewed interest in harvesting earlage orsnaplage because you harvest an additional 10 to 15percent digestible dry matter per acre. Most storagestructures will work for each type, but upright silosneed to be in good condition with enough reinforce-ment rings.

Moisture guidelines for harvesting high-moisturecorn are 28 to 32 percent for shelled corn; 30 to 35percent for ear corn; and 35 to 40 percent forsnaplage. Harvesting in these ranges assures thatthere will be adequate moisture for fermentationand allow for good packing. Harvesting drier thanthese guidelines increases the risk of molds andpoor fermentation.

Harvestingcorn at a high

moisture rate willincrease the rate of ruminaldigestion compared to dry corn.Also, the longer high-moisturecorn is fermented, up to approxi-mately six months, the faster therate of digestion and the greaterthe extent of starch digestion.

Feed testing laboratories canprovide information on starch digestibility andenergy value of the corn. Changing the amount fed,feeding in a total mixed ration and additional bufferare strategies that may be needed.

Snaplage tends to have the most variability as afeed. Variables such as grain moisture, cob moisture,corn hybrid and machine settings will change theamount of husk and stalk harvested. It is better toerror on the wet side and a finer chop so not to havetoo many large pieces of husk, stalk and cob. Morefrequent monitoring of dry matter, neutral detergentfiber and starch content is suggested with snaplage.

If you’ve had a frost or hardfreeze, harvest timing will be crit-ical due to the rate of dry-down ofthe plant and grain. Check forblack-layer development first. Ifthe corn has not black-layered,the cob will remain soft, with ade-quate moisture. Once mature cornhas had a killing frost, dry-downcan progress quickly if weather

conditions are favorable. If thecorn was immature and still is wet, watch for possi-ble development of field molds.

In December of 2006, Stan and I were married.Stan brought Gracie into our marriage and I

brought Sam, a beautiful black Lab-Rottweiler. Sam

looked like a Rottweiler, acted like a blackLab. He was the best watchdog ever. Wewondered if the miniature Sheltie couldsurvive Sam. Her petite size and quietway made their friendship possible. Hisjoy in having a friend was another benefit.

She burst on the scene a gentle femi-nine; a real little lady. She had my loveand affection right away. A sable andwhite haired dog with a white beard anda black under coat, she looked gorgeous.

She wanted nothing to do with baths or showers. Idid the best I could to keep her clean and pretty.Stan was her protector. She felt safe with him. So,when I tried to brush her hair, I was a villain. Theknotting of hair behind her ears was painful to herand to me.

Finally, I knew I needed help. So did she. I couldn’tbrush her any more.Yes, she broke my heart and shewas too warm with her long shaggy coat to stay indoors.On the farm, Sam slept with the animals outside untilthe cold winter came, then he stayed in the warm house.

“Gracie” I said, “we have had enough battle of wills.You are not comfortable with this long coat.” We

would take her to Barking Beauties, aplace of miracles where lovely unkemptfarm dogs are transformed into the beau-tiful animals God created them to be.“There they are fit to live in the housewith people.”

It was welcoming at Barking Beauties.Thedogs were calm and comfortable and Gracieno longer needed or depended on us for hergrooming care.We hurried back to get herwhen the telephone rang.“She was a verygood girl”, the groomer complimented as she

stooped down to let Gracie run straight into Stan’s arms.She ran down the long halls, all the way keeping herstride soft and lady-like. Stan bent down to swoop her upwith resounding reassurance — “Good Girl!”

The hair of the dog: Dealing with a doggie drama

THE YIELD

By Sue Peterson

A gentle nudge, an inquisitive sniff — your dog or cat’snose can be used to communicate as well as inquire. Butwhat other telltale signs can your pet’s nose convey?

“Some cat caregivers worry about black spots on thenose of their cat,” said Adam Patterson, clinical assis-tant professor at the Texas A&M College of Veteri-nary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences.

“The concern is if these black spots arecancerous, but in reality the spots are anormal finding in young orange cats,”Patterson said. “These black spots canappear on your cat’s nose as well as lips,eye margins, gums and mouth.”

“Usually orange tabbies are moreprone to these black spots which is a con-dition known as lentigo simplex,” Patter-son said. “These spots are somewhatcomparable to freckles in humans and are not itchy orpainful.However, there should be concern if you find raisedor inflamed spots that cause soreness and pain. Alwayshave these types of spots examined by your veterinarian.”

Dogs can lose pigment on their nose, Patterson said.This is not much of a concern as long as the surface ofthe nose retains its cobblestone appearance. If thenose begins to crack, scab or smooth over, then veteri-nary assistance should be sought.

Nutritional disorders, autoimmune diseases andcancer cause these types of signs and often warrant abiopsy of the nose to make a diagnosis.

“Cats and dogs are prone to sunburn and subse-quent skin cancer on noses, ears and around theeyes,” Patterson said. “Fair-skinned animals withlight-colored hair coats are at the most risk. Limitingsun exposure between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. during thesummertime ... can reduce the risk for solar damage.”

Your pet’s runny nose may indicate other medical condi-tions are lingering, Patterson said. Respiratory infectionsmay manifest themselves as nasal discharge, sneezing,coughing and difficult breathing. Foreign bodies or tumorsin the nasal passages may cause these same signs. If yourpet exhibits any of these health problems, it should be seenby your veterinarian as soon as possible.

“Remember that wet or dry noses are not a sign of ill-ness per se,” Patterson said. “Whether your pet’s nose isdry or wet is largely related to the temperature andhumidity in their environment. Lethargy, little or noappetite, weight loss, vomiting, diarrhea and inappropri-ate urination are some signs that better reflect illness.”

So, know the nose of your pet. It can be a messengeras to the health of your cat or dog in addition to a wetand warm greeting.

They said you were worth-less. You’d never amount toanything.

No good. Not worth thetime.

Just like that, you werewritten off, completely andirrevocably dismissed.

Discouraging? Yes, butscenes like this tend to fanthe spark of defiance insideeach of us, compelling us toboldly prove the naysayerswrong, thus ultimately creating fist-shakingly strong human beings.

As you’ll see in the new book “TheEighty-Dollar Champion” by ElizabethLetts, such discouraging words alsowork for horses.

By the time he left Holland, boundfor America, Harry de Leyer had seenplenty.

As the eldest of his parents’ dozenchildren, he’d braved the Nazis and

risked his life for family and neighbors.He’d met hardship. So when he emmi-grated to America with his wife, atrunkful of possessions and $160, hewas eager for opportunity. And hefound it: by the mid-1950s, the de Ley-ers had succeeded enough to buy asmall farm on Long Island.

A horseman at birth, Harry was theriding instructor at a posh girls’ schoolnear his home when, in early 1956 andlate to a horse sale, he spotted a ragged

gray gelding on its way to slaughter.He was always looking for gentlesteeds for his students. Something inthe animal’s demeanor made Harrypull out his bankroll.

Cleaned up, the horsewas rather pretty;“fleabitten,” as horsemenwould say. He’d seen theharness of a plow, buthe was friendly, easy-going and steady, awilling pupil. Snow-man, as Harry’schildren namedhim, would be per-fect for Harry’sstudents. Theanimal’s $80cost wasmoney well-spent.

At the endof theschoolyear, withno roomat hisown sta-ble, Harrysold Snowman to anearby doctor, but Snow-man had other ideas. Like afaithful mutt, the horse kept returningto Harry’s barn, leaping several fencesto get there.

Then one day, in Harry’s mind, every-thing clicked: this horse was a jumper!With a little work, he might be able towin a few competitions. With training,Snowman might, in some small way,fulfill one of Harry’s dreams.

Letts says that in the late-1950s,when Snowman rocked the horse worldand word spread like wildfire, people

needed a hero. Even now, we love anunderdog story. But “The Eighty DollarChampion” jumps well over that.

It’s difficult, if not impossible, toavoid wanting to cheer while readingthis book. Though we can surmise byits cover what happens, Letts lends a

definite edge-of-your-seat feelingto the story of de Leyer and

his unlikely dream-maker, and shedoes it bypulling readers

back to mid-last-century: the

times, the news-makers, fashions

and myriad reasonswhy the nation held

its breath as an aginggray plow horse flew

over nearly-inconceiv-ably high barriers.I don’t think you have

to be a horse lover toenjoy this heartwarming

true story about a couple ofsurvivors, and love. No, for

most readers, I think “TheEighty-Dollar Champion” is a

worthy horse of a differentcolor.

The Eighty-DollarChampion

By Terri Schlichenmeyer

A Purdue University scientist is urg-ing federal officials to decide whethergenetically engineered salmon wouldbe allowed for U.S. consumption andarguing that not doing so may set backscientific efforts to increase food pro-duction.

William Muir, a professor of animalsciences, said that based on data madeavailable by the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration, AquAdvantagesalmon poses little real risk to theenvironment or human health. AAsalmon were given a gene from Chi-nook salmon that speeds growth andimproves feed efficiency in farm-raisedfish. Developed by AquaBounty Tech-nologies, the fish would be spawned inCanada and grown to full size inPanama, both of which are land-based,contained facilities.

“We realize that any new technologycan have risks, and those risks need tobe assessed in a thorough and convinc-ing manner,” Muir said. “However, oncethe assessment has been completedand the agency concludes from theweight of evidence that risks of harm,either to the environment or to con-sumers, is negligible, the next step,which is to allow production and saleof the product, needs to be taken.”

Muir and Alison L. Van Eenennaam,an animal genomics and biotechnologyExtension specialist at the Universityof California-Davis, made the call forFDA approval in a peer-reviewed com-mentary in the early online version ofthe journal Nature Biotechnology.

The salmon would be the first genet-ically engineered animal used as afood in the United States, but it hasbeen tied up in FDA regulatory pro-ceedings since 1995. Muir said thatbecomes a disincentive for those work-ing to increase food supplies for agrowing world population.

“This tells us that no entrepreneur isgoing to invest in these new projectsbecause they can’t get them approved,”Muir said.

Muir has not received any funding orsupport from AquaBounty Technolo-gies.

Alan Mathew, head of Purdue’sDepartment of Animal Sciences,served on the FDA’s Veterinary Medi-cine Advisory Committee, which didnot find any significant concerns forAA salmon. He said after consideringthe issues, he was convinced that thegenetically engineered salmon is safe.

“We determined there was not addedrisk. This is generally the same food as

farm-raised and wild salmon,” Mathewsaid.

Mathew said crops and animals havebeen selected for favorable traits forcenturies, keeping the value-addedgenes and eliminating unfavorableones. He said genetic engineering sim-ply shortens the time it takes to gainthose favorable traits.

“Our methods are doing it morestrategically rather than randomly,”Mathew said.

The commentary goes point by pointto refute concerns raised by specialinterest groups over genetically engi-neered salmon.

One of the most significant environ-mental concerns about geneticallyengineered salmon is that if they wereintroduced into the wild salmon popu-lation, they would cause its extinction.This is a theoretical scenario discov-ered earlier by Muir, which he termedthe Trojan gene effect. However, Muirexamined fitness data and concludedthat AA salmon are less fit than theirnative counterparts, meaning that nat-ural selection would simply purgethem from the wild population.

“The Trojan gene effect does notapply in this case, and there is no evi-dence to support concern for an extinc-tion event,” Muir said.

Muir also points out thatAquaBounty has developed multipleredundant safeguards to prevent thefish from entering natural popula-tions.

First, only triploid eggs — whichhave three copies of each chromosome— would be sent to Panama fromCanada. That means 99.7 percent ofthe fish are sterile. All the fish wouldalso be female, unable to breed witheach other.

Second, the facility in Panama island-based, with screens to keep thesalmon inside. Panama was chosen asthe farming site because its waters aretropical. If fertile AA salmon were ableto escape the holding barriers, theywould perish when reaching water toowarm for their survival.

Finally, in the unlikely event thatfertile fish escaped and survived in thesurrounding oceans, they would haveto swim several thousand miles to findpossible spawning streams and mates.

Regarding human health concerns,AA salmon were said to have moreallergens than non-genetically engi-neered salmon. This raised concernsthat consuming the genetically engi-neered versions could harm people.

But the data did not support thisassertion. Muir said there is no base-line for the amount of allergens a fishmay contain before it is unsafe for con-sumption and that many fish con-sumed regularly, such as herring, havesignificantly more allergens than AAsalmon.

“There is as much as a hundredfolddifference in the allergenicity amongfish,” Muir said. “At what level shouldit trigger concern?”

Muir also argues that the FDA willtreat AA salmon like a new drug thathas been through the regulatoryprocess. The agency can approve andcontinue to monitor the salmon. Ifnew concerns are raised and found tobe valid, the government could with-draw its approval.

“Hey, Dale,” I yelled to myhunting partner, Dale Van-Thuyne. “I’m think I’m in awhole lot of trouble here.”

We had finished picking upthe decoys after the Saturdaymorning hunt, and I was mak-ing one last attempt to retrievea mallard I had knocked downearlier.

It had enough life left afterhitting the water to walk upto an isolated clump of cat-tails surrounded by a muddy flat.

An earlier attempt by VanThuyne to retrieve theduck was thwarted by an expansive, thigh-deepmud flat.

And now, I was making one last try by taking thelong way around, hoping that standing cattailswould offer enough support to get to the spot.

But just a dozen yards away from my destination,the cattails thinned out leaving me to sink thigh-deep in the primordial muck. I was stuck fast.

The mud sucked at my boots and legs.Worse, as I struggled, I was sinking deeper and

deeper.What a difference a couple months can make.Back in late-June, the owner of the home where

we were staying was pulling up water-logged carpetafter copious rains flooded his basement, the firsttime in 30 years he’d had a drop of water.

The succession of storms and heavy rain in spring

and early summer washed away pheasant nests andfilled wetlands in southern Minnesota to the brim.

But Sept. 24, all of that was history after anextended dry period evaporated all but the deepestwetlands.

We plowed a muddy furrow in the pre-dawn in the

outboard in the shallow lake south of Worthington,Minn., we planned to hunt.

When we ran out of water, we climbed out andwalked alongside the boat, sliding the last 100 yards orso across an inch of water and two feet of mud to thesame place we had easily motored up to a year earlier.

An hour before sunrise, we struggled through themud to set up the decoys, optimistic over theprospects of some good shooting as Minnesota’swaterfowl season was set to begin.

For the first time in recent memory, legal shootingtime on opening day was going to be a half-hourbefore sunrise — the magical witching hour for duckhunters — instead of the customary 9 a.m. shooting

Dale VanThuyne sets out the last of the decoys on a lake south south of Worthington, Minn., on the opening dayof the Minnesota waterfowl season. While the hunting was good, low water made for difficult hunting conditions.

THE OUTDOORS

By John Cross

By JOHN CROSSMankato Free Press

Depending on where area huntersset out their decoys the morning ofSept. 24 for the opener of the 2011Minnesota Waterfowl Season, successranged from fair to excellent.

Minnesota Department of NaturalResources Conservation Officer BobGeving said hunters he checked onRice Lake in Faribault County did“awesome.”

“Mostly, I saw limits of teal andwoodies with a smattering of mal-lards,” he said.

The fly in the ointment is thathunters there were greeted with lowwater conditions which made it diffi-cult to access the lake.

“Water conditions were terrible —hunters really had to battle to get outon the lake,” he said. “A lot of the guyssaid they weren’t going to go out thereagain on Sunday.”

Other conservation officers reportedvarying success on other area lakes.

On Buffalo Lake in Waseca County,hunters averaged one or two duckseach. “But it was a great variety —canvasbacks, pintails, gadwall and

widgeon,” Geving said.Hunters checked on Minnesota Lake

didn’t have much action. Conservationofficer Greg Abraham checked huntersin the Swan Lake area.

“It was better than I expected — I’dsay fair,” he said. “But then nothingtoday is really good if you remember thereally good old days of duck hunting.”

Abraham said he saw a mixture ofducks in hunters’ bags.

“I probably saw as many green-wingedteal as I did blue-winged teal, somespoonbills, and it seemed like every bodyI checked had at least one hen mallard,”he said. Abraham saw two individuallimits and several groups that had a sin-gle limit between two or three hunters.

While he didn’t work Swan Lakeproper on Sept. 24, Abraham said somehunters reported having lots of shootingwhile others didn’t do quite as well onthat popular duck hunting lake.

Apparently hunters were playing mostlyby the book. Geving said the only com-plaint he had to check was hunters rattlingbirdshot off of nearby residents’ homes.

Abraham said he encountered theusual violations — operating a motor-boat with uncased and loaded guns, a

few issues with stamps and licenses.“But with the early opening shooting

hours, I really didn’t hear much forearly shooting,” he said.

Geving had two incidents of way-ward hunting dogs. On Rice Lake,hunters thought they had a big beaverswimming through their decoys in theearly morning darkness.

“Turns out it was a dog that swam allthe way across the lake,” he said.

And then a hunting party on Minnesotareported that a Labrador swam up totheir boat and climbed aboard, uninvited.

“They were well-fed so they belongto somebody,” Geving said.

The duck hunting season in thesouth duck zone ended Sept. 24. Itwill resume Oct. 1 and continuethrough Nov. 27.

In the north duck zone, the season willremain open, continuing through Nov. 22.

STICKY, from pg. 18Btime of years past.

Minutes after the first shots rang outon a nearby slough to herald legalshooting time, a flock of wood ducksbuzzed over head. Our reflexes a bitrusty, we missed them cleanly.

Over the course of the morning, weenjoyed steady but hardly spectacularaction.

By 10 a.m., empty skies prompted usto pack it in. Our bag consisted of awood duck, a blue-winged teal, twomallards, a widgeon, a (blush) spoonbill, a Canada goose and, of course, theyet-to-be-retrieved mallard.

For the first 100 yards or so, the cat-tails gave me enough support.

But then, as the last few densestands of cattails thinned out, themuck got deeper and deeper — so deepI could go no further.

Worse, I was unable to move, to turnaround, to get the muck to release its gripon waders.Tired, I considered my options. Iwas in no danger of drowning but I imag-ined the embarrassing prospect of a 911call to busy conservation officers if I wasn’t

able to extract myself.I imagined the headline in the Wor-

thington Daily Globe: “Foolish 59-year-old duck hunter rescued from mud.”

VanThuyne asked if I needed help.“Not yet.” We certainly didn’t need twopeople stuck in the mud.

I grabbed my left leg with both handsand pulled. My foot slid out of thewader boot, which was still stuck fast.Balanced on one leg, I reached into themud and grabbed the wader andpulled. It reluctantly came free.

Then the next leg, same procedure.Eventually, I was able to get turned

around and make my way to a denserstand of cattails where the vegetationoffered some support and eventually towhere VanThuyne waited at the boat.

Oh, we were back out here againSunday morning.

But this time in a place where there’smore water than there is mud.
