July was a big month for Sig Armitage of Canby,Minn. He participated in the National SeniorGames (held in Bloomington, Minn., this year), anOlympic-style event for elder ath-letes, and he was qualified topitch in the National HorseshoePitchers Association World Tour-nament in Topeka, Kansas.

But it is doubtful that eithergave this former farmer more sat-isfaction than he got in 2014when he was inducted into theMinnesota Gopher State Horse-shoe Pitchers Association’s Hall of Fame.

He had been a MGSHPA member for 30 years andwon numerous tournaments, and Hall of Fame recog-nition was a sweet reward. Armitage was nominatedby his doubles partner, Bob Knudtson of BrooklynPark, Minn., who was already a member of the Hall ofFame. Armitage was the 40th horseshoe pitcher to beinducted since the Hall of Fame started in 1969.

When Armitage turned 70 and moved into theElders division, his success grew even more. Hehas won the Elders Singles Championship threeyears in a row and with Knudtson the Elders Dou-ble Championship three years in a row. Last yearhe won the gold medal in his age bracket at theMinnesota Seniors Games, where he threw 86.66percent ringers. That qualified him for theNational Senior Games this summer.

At 76, Armitage still has some things he wants toaccomplish, but he expects it to get tougher as

I went to my first Farmfest this year,spending Aug. 4 and 5 in The Land boothand walking the grounds. Even after see-ing the Farmfest map, proofing long listsof exhibitors for our preview section, andreading up on the topics covered in forumsacross the three days, I still was not pre-pared for the incredible size of this farmshow.

Walking amongst the equipment, I sawa Claas Lexion combine so large that aladder and platform was the only way pro-ducers could check out the equipment.

A big thank you goes out to the manyLand readers who stopped by to tell usthat they like what we are doing. Weasked what we could do better. One farmer told Phyl-lis Nystrom, our grain marketing expert from CHSHedging, that he would like to see more dollar signsin her weekly “Grain Outlook.” So would we.

We received many requests for a new cookbook —our most recent edition, Volume III, came out a fewyears ago. Others would like to see recipes in everyissue. Currently we run recipes once a month in“Cookbook Corner.” We will do our best not to printrecipes back to back in case you want to clip them.

I understand. When my husband opens my recipebook a flutter of newsprint recipes fall out. I havelearned to place the book on a flat surface beforeopening.

It was a pleasure to speak with farm familiesthroughout the grounds. Farmers told me how goodtheir bean and corn crops looked. Come harvest,many plan to store their corn until prices got better.It’s a tough time to be a farmer.

I especially enjoyed hearing all the stories fromFarmfests gone by. Allen HOlmquist of Clarissa,Minn., was at Farmfest when Johnny Cash wasthere. Someone else told me about that show too.

Rich and Mary Jo Kuckacka, of Montgomery,Minn., stopped by The Land booth. They had theirfirst date at Farmfest 29 years ago and saw LorettaLynn. They have been married 27 years.

Farmfest debuted in 1972 on a farm near VernonCenter. Farmfest ’76 was held in Lake Crystal andwas infamous for the heavy rains that turned thegrounds into a mud pit. The event has been held in

Redwood County since 1994.“Cookbook Corner” columnist Sarah

Johnson had stopped by a thrift store onher way to Farmfest and picked up com-memorative Farmfest ’76 7-Up bottles.They were quite the conversation starter.

Our veteran staff writer Dick Hagenrecalled the ’76 Farmfest as well. In fact,Dick has been to Farmfest so many timesthat he has been using the same pressbadge for years. As usual, he worked tire-lessly — interviewing sources, covering

forums and walking the grounds. We aregrateful.Thank you

This is the first year that The Land correspondentsand columnists sat at the booth and met you, ourreaders. A big thank you goes out to the writers whojoined us.

“Table Talk” columnist Karen Schwaller sent herregrets after having to cancel her appearance; shewas certainly missed by the numerous folks whostopped to visit with her.

Many readers told Lenae Bulthuis, who writes“The Back Porch” columns on faith, family and farm-ing, that her columns inspired them. Some said theyread her first and then check out the other articles.

Another reader told me that all he reads is PhyllisNystrom’s “Grain Outlook.”

Others go right to our last page with our “BackRoads” and stopped to say hello to the duo behindmany of those features, Tim and Jan King. Theywere taking story ideas.

Many readers like our “From the Fields” reportsfrom producers across Minnesota and northern Iowa.Some got the chance to meet Kristin Kveno who filesthe reports.

Correspondent Carolyn Van Loh crossed pathswith one of her most inspiring sources, a farm couplethat overcame major medical challenges. She alsoshowed visitors her book on the 90-year history ofthe Minnesota Farm Bureau, decade by decade.Sobering statistics.

Correspondent Renee B. Vander Schaaf gave us alesson on the Dutch people that settled the Iowa

In a relatively short,toughly-worded decisionissued Aug. 3, a federaljudge in Idaho struck downthat state’s year-old “aggag” law that sought to“criminalize” undercover, orwhistleblower, investiga-tions of livestock facilitiessuspected of animal abuse.

The action by B. LynnWinmill, chief judge ofIdaho’s U.S. District Court,is the first time any “aggag” law, currently in forcein seven states, has beendeclared unconstitutional.Animal rights activists immediatelytouted the decision as a big-stick prece-dent to use to both dismantle otherstates’ ag gag laws and to stop any non-ag-gag state from enacting new ones.

Ag attorneys around the country,however, disagree. Several state aggag laws (Iowa, Utah, South Carolina,Missouri, Kansas, North Dakota andMontana) are sufficiently differentfrom Idaho’s, they argue, to steer clearthe legal standard used to decide it.

Others are less certain. Judge Win-mill’s opinion, they note, is tightly rea-soned and focuses on two, key Consti-tutional rights: the First Amendment’sguarantee to free speech and the Four-teenth Amendment’s equal protection

clause that declares any per-son in any state enjoys“equal protection of the law.”

Both issues arose after thestate legislature passed its“gag” law at the request of

the Idaho Dairymen’sAssociation. Idaho needsthe law, one state repre-

sentative explained at the time, to pro-tect it from “terrorism” — animalrights undercover investigators — whoare “taking the dairy industry hostageand seeking to persecute them in thecourt of public opinion.”

The purple prose came after a video ofanimal abuse at a sprawling Idahodairy farm surfaced a year earlier. Itdrew so much national attention thatthe state, at the behest of the dairymen,sought to “criminalize” the kind “ofundercover investigations that exposedthe activities…” The proposed law sailedthrough the legislature and Gov. C.L.“Butch” Otter signed it Feb. 14, 2014.

Soon, however, several animal wel-fare groups led by the Animal Legal

Defense Fund, a California-based ani-mal protection group that claims to be“supported by thousands of dedicatedattorneys and more than 100,000 mem-bers,” sued the state in federal court.They claimed the new law was uncon-stitutional because it had “both thepurpose and effect of stifling publicdebate about modern agriculture…”

The court agreed. In his ruling, Win-mill said the law plainly sought to“limit and punish those who speak outon topics relating to the agriculturalindustry, striking at the heart of theimportant First Amendment values.”

Indeed, Winmill explained, if theIdaho law had been in force whenUpton Sinclair went undercover towrite his “devastating exposé of themeat-packing industry,” the novel ‘TheJungle,’ his “conduct would (have)expose(d) him to criminal prosecution”in the state. That’s a “chill the FirstAmendment cannot permit…”

If Idaho is concerned that “speech”from animal activists might be or is“misleading,” patiently explained the

judge, then the “remedy for misleadingspeech, or speech we do not like, ismore speech, not enforced silence.”

In short, Winmill noted, citing an ear-lier precedent, “‘Society has the rightand civic duty to engage in open,dynamic, rational discourse. These endsare not well served when the govern-ment seeks to orchestrate public discus-sions through content-based mandates.’”

Roger McEowen, director of IowaState University’s Center for Law andTaxation and an attorney, strongly dis-agrees with the Idaho decision. Still,McEowen concedes, the decision standsunless overturned on appeal, a longshot at best.

Also, it may encourage challenges toother state ag gag laws. Many of thoselaws, he guesses, will withstand chal-lenge because they differ with Idaho’sjust-tossed law.

Legal challenge or not, the decision’scentral point remains: If Americanfarmers and ranchers hope to buildmore trust with consumers — as allswear they do — they need to shedmore light on their farming and ranch-ing practices, not more darkness.

WOOD, from pg. 2prairie. I got to hold a psalter, a liturgi-cal book of psalms from the old country.

“Farm and Food File” columnist AlanGuebert wrapped up the show, makingThe Land’s Farmfest booth a stop onhis national book tour.

Many readers shook his hand and

bought his book. One reader told himthat even when he didn’t agree, the col-umn always made him think.

I could say the same about our readers.You always make us think. Thank you.

OPINION

To the Editor: This is in response to Alan Guebert’s

column published July 31 blamingagriculture for the nitrates in thewater in Iowa. (Editor’s note: The col-umn is also available at The Land’swebsite — www.TheLandOnline.com.)

Mr. Guebert, did you know DesMoines had elevated levels of nitratesin the river in the 1940s long beforefarmers were using commercial fertil-izers? Did you know that after Des

Moines removes these “dangerousnitrates” that they dump them backinto the river downstream? Did youknow that many waste treatmentplants convert ammonia to nitrates? Sois it a wonder that nitrate levels areincreasing in the river?

Your turn, Mr. Guebert. Let’s tell thewhole story if you really want to solvethe problem.Greg Mikkelson Lake Crystal, Minn.

The latest full ‘From the Fields’ crop reports from our Minnesota

& northern Iowa producersThe Pulks Wannaska, Minn.

Wheat harvest has just begun for Andy Pulk, andso far he likes what he sees. When The Land spokewith Pulk Aug. 14 he said he expects “yields willbe above expectation.” He started harvesting theday prior, and figures it will take a week tocomplete — “I’ve got 1,400 acres to wipe out.”Pulk will get some additional help with the wheat;his brother-in-law will be lending a hand.Meanwhile, “The soybeans are doing good,” he

said. “Everything has beensprayed for the final time.”The sunflowers are in fullbloom and are “beingpollinated by bees.” The cornis currently in the sweet cornstage, which would make the

crop on-schedule for a normal harvest date. “Thebiggest thing on our plate is to get the wheat off,”said Pulk. “It’s the culmination of what you’vebeen waiting for all year.”

The Lees McIntosh, Minn.

While Joan Lee is off enjoying the wonders ofIreland on the Minnesota Agriculture and RuralLeadership alumni trip, The Land interviewedJoan’s husband, Mark Lee, on Aug. 17. The rainthat fell on the Lee farm Aug. 13 was a muchwelcomed sight. They received a little over aninch, but the crops could use even more. “Thecorn is starting to get a little bit dry,” Lee said.The same thing can be said for the soybeans —

“They are really burning up.”Lee estimates that in certainareas of the field, beans thatwould have yielded 40bushels per acre will now onlyproduce 10. They finishedwheat harvest Aug. 16 —

“probably the best wheat I’ve ever had.” With 48bushels per acre, Lee is pleased with the results.Overall for the crops, he said, “In the heavier soil,everything looks pretty good.”

The Haarstads Rothsay, Minn.

“Things are looking reallygood.” John Haarstad spokewith The Land on Aug. 14 andwas pleased with the conditionof his crops. “The corn isreally good; it’s on pace to grow a good crop.”Nothing exceptional, he noted, but solid.Meanwhile, the soybeans are “bushy and have nicegreen color still.” As for the aphids, “I think we’ve

turned the corner,” said Haarstad. He feelsfortunate to not have had much hot weather thissummer, with the exception of the past few days.Haarstad is continuing to prep equipment forharvest, and is also keeping busy cleaning signs atthe sign shop. “We’re happy with where we’re at,”he said, although he knows that “harvest will tellus how we did, and how much Mother Nature didfor us.”

The Filzens Renville, Minn.

When The Land spoke with Dale Filzen Aug. 16he was hoping the rain would quit missing hisfields and finally provide some neededprecipitation. “The soybeans need a drink,” hesaid. “You can really see the high grounds startingto suffer.” There was a pretty good chance of rainthis week, which was music to Filzen’s ears. “Thecorn looks pretty good,” he said, and there’s “a lotof yellow in the navy bean field.” Filzen estimated

they’re a week to 10 daysahead of normal, which heattributes to “good growingconditions.” He plans onspraying his navy beans inabout 10 days, meaning itwould be a couple weeks

before harvest. In the meantime, Filzen has twobins left to empty out and is getting harvestequipment ready to go. Even though they’re a littleshort on moisture, “I’d say it still looks real good.”

The ThorpesCanby, Minn.

“Every time we need rain, we get it.” When TheLand spoke with Thorpe on Aug. 9 he was happyto report that two inches of rain had fallen thatday. The soybeans are enjoying the moisture —Thorpe called the beans “excellent.” Whileaphids have “definitely moved in” to hisMinnesota ground, they have not been a problemon his South Dakota fields. Thorpe believes thecorn should be a great crop this year. “In the next

couple weeks we should seedenting.” Now he’ll beworking on getting theharvesting equipment readyto go. He’ll also take sometime before school startsagain and harvest begins for

a family vacation to Yellowstone. Going on thisadventure and making memories with the familyis the perfect way to end the summer for Thorpe.

The PagelsWinthrop, Minn.

“I was a little concerneduntil yesterday but we got aninch of rain,” Delayne Pageltold The Land Aug. 7. Hewas happy for theprecipitation that fell, but wouldn’t mind anothershot. “The corn looks real good,” said Pagel, andthe soybeans have really come around. He waswaiting for a plane to come and spray for aphids.

The wheat harvest is done. Pagel began harvest atthe end of July and it took a couple days tocomplete. “Can’t complain on wheat,” he said.Pagel’s wheat averaged 80 bu/acre. As far as thekidney beans go, he sprayed last week for whitemold — “It’s hopefully the last time I have tospray.” — and they’ve taken “a little bit of a yieldhit” due to all the heat. Pagel is hopeful the rainwill help. Some tiling and getting ready for fallwill be on his to-do list in the next two weeks.

The MarblesMapleton, Minn.

“I don’t think I can have itany better.” That was HarlanMarble’s sentiment when TheLand spoke with him Aug. 9.The crops are thriving evenwith no rain so far in August on his farm. Marblesaid the corn is “doing great” — he counted 14rows around and 38 kernels long in a cob helooked at in one of his fields. The soybeans are

still blossoming. Marble observed pods from theground all the way to the top, with the plantsaround 38 inches tall. The beans were sprayedlast week for aphids; none have been spottedsince then. With the crops doing well, Marble isfocusing on harvest. He decided to refurbish his25-year-old corn head instead of buying new. Heestimates that it should take about five solid daysto do the job. Marble will also be cleaning thebarn to make way for 4,000 pigs arrivingsometime next week.

The HeusinkveldsWykoff, Minn.

When The Land spoke with Nate HeusinkveldAug. 7 he was pleased with how thing were going— “The crops look really good.” He was alsohappy to have finished third crop hay, which was75 percent of the second crop. “Every hay crophas been good,” Heusinkveld said. He estimatesthat the corn silage harvest will be around thefirst of September, a little ahead of average. Thecows are enjoying the nice summer weather. “It’s

been ideal for cattle,” hesaid. Some of the cows willbe making the trip to theMower County Fair — 11heifers will be shown there.Heusinkveld is also helpingget other projects for the kids

ready to go to the fair. The fair is a family affairand one that Heusinkveld enjoys immensely.

The KempsSibley, Iowa

“Things are looking good here,” Brian Kemptold The Land Aug. 7. “We’ve gotten nicely timedrains.” Along with the rain, the weather has beenkind to their crops. “We’ve not had the horriblyhot and stressful days,” said Kemp. The corn islooking good and has “pollinated well.” Thesoybeans have “a lot of pods on them,” Kempsaid, although he noted that they’re starting tosee some water hemp out there. Even with that

concern, he said “They’re thecleanest fields though I’veever seen.”

The Froemmings Garfield, Minn.

Wheat harvest is in fullswing on the Froemmingfarm. Speaking with The LandAug. 14, Rodney Froemmingestimated that “we’ve got twodays left (of harvest). It’s the best wheat I’ve evergrown,” he said. Bushels-per-acre yields have beenin the 60s, with some top wheat up into the 70s.He was also working on third crop hay this day.

According to Froemming, the crops haven’t beenstressed at all this summer. The corn is looking“excellent,” and the soybeans also “look like anexcellent crop.” Most of the bean plants arealready filled. Planting of the rye crop will happenaround the first of September.

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

MORGAN, Minn. — Bornin 1937, Worthington, Minn.,farmer Lyndon Olson stilllives on the farm where hewas born. And raising hogswas in his blood from the verybeginning.

He remembers his dad far-rowing sows in the winter in an oldbuilding with a wood-burning heaterproviding some comfort for baby pigs.Often that litter of baby pigs would betransferred in a bushel basket intothe house to sit next to another woodburning stove to get them warmed up.

“There wasn’t such a thing as heatlamps back then. So Dad did what-ever was necessary to get those new-borns warmed up as quickly as hecould,” said Olson.

Olson is a walking, talking historybook on local agriculture. He agreedto an impromptu Q&A session at

Farmfest, held Aug. 4-6 in Mor-gan, Minn.

Q: Is agriculture being neglectedthese days?

Olson: The problem is not agricul-ture; it’s very capable of dealing withsituations as they arrive. Take, forexample, the sudden explosion of avianflu within our turkey industry. Veryrapidly we developed new tests andnew vaccines. Things are changing sorapidly in the world that nobody cankeep up with everything.

The problem is we have too manypeople who will pick up on a comment,maybe even just a rumor, and it

becomes the gospel truth. We don’ttake the time to look at the full impli-cations of issues. Social media today isso much a mouthpiece for many peoplewho simply haven’t taken the time todistinguish between cause and correla-tion.

For example, today we’re often hear-ing that certain foods aren’t so healthy.But soon good evi-dence comes alongto completely dis-prove that earlierassumption. Oftencause can be differ-ent from the corre-lation.

Q: On the genet-ically modifiedorganism versusnon-GMO foodissue, who’s thedriver?

Olson: We needto respect what theconsumer is saying and doing. But thereality is that a huge number of con-sumers who have a preference don’treally know why they have that prefer-ence. They have heard from somebodythat GMO is bad for them even thoughthey have not taken the time or effortto research whether it is true or not. Sowhat we have to do is tell our story toas many people who will listen as wecan.

Also we have people who are on twodifferent sides of the food chain. But ifyour belly is empty, you have a wholedifferent way of looking at foods than ifyour belly is full. When you’ve gotextra money you can spend on any-thing you want. However a starvingkid in Africa isn’t going to worry aboutjunk food, yet someone with moneymight want a steak that has beengrass-fed and is antibiotic-free andknow what farm it came from.

As a livestock man, I don’t think weshould be attempting to satisfy thedesires of a limited number of con-sumers.

The mandatory country of originhassle going on in Congress right nowis another example of too many voicestrying to tell agriculture what to do.My opinion is that if some people wantthat information on the foods they buy,then find a food store that will provideit. Don’t force everyone to meet thoserequirements if they’re not interested.Why do we take the limited views of afew and foist it on everyone? Thiscountry is big enough so certain food-ies can find the stores that provide

what they need.Q: Would just a non-GMO label

suffice for those consumers want-ing such foods?

Olson: There are very few foods thatdon’t have some GMO substance. Sohaving a totally non-GMO food sourcemight be a real issue. The genetically

modified label canmean differentthings to differentpeople. To some itmeans taking germplasm from oneorganism andinserting it intoanother organism.But we could getthe same thingfrom natural muta-tion which is con-tinually takingplace in natureregardless. How doyou decide which isbetter? Or is there

even a difference?Q: Sustainable foods are another

hot topic these days. What’s yourtake?

Olson: There’s about as many differ-ent definitions of sustainability asthere are organizations pushing it. Irespect consumers wanting to knowmore about where their food comesfrom. But it seems we’re getting toomany players into the game. Foodstores know their customers betterthan anyone else. If a given food storehas to deal in certain foods to satisfy asegment of its market, let that foodstore be the driver of where and how tosource that food. Farmers will alwaysbe the basic provider of food. But whenit comes to sorting out what’s what onthe meat counter or food shelf, thatshuffle has to be between the con-sumer and the retailer I think.

Q: You’re a 70-year hog man. Stillgot hogs on the farm?

Olson: We’re down to just one pig, a4-H critter that we are hosting for aneighbor. Right now my son and hisfiancée have 32 mother cows andcalves on the farm. That’s the firsttime we’ve had cattle on the farm since1983.

Q: So do cattle work OK on afarm that has a history of porkproduction?

Olson: Well, we used to feed cattle,too, so having these cows and calves onthe farm again brings back good mem-ories for me. ❖

Longtime hog farmer reflects on latest ag trends

Lyndon Olson

We need to respectwhat the consumer issaying and doing. Butthe reality is that ahuge number of con-sumers who have apreference don’t reallyknow why they havethat preference.

MORGAN, Minn. — Farm-fest speakers acknowledgedthat agriculture is in an eco-nomic squeeze right now. Mosthad difficulties predicting howlong the squeeze would last andwhat would be the shake out.

But Rod Hebrink, presidentand CEO of AgStar Financial Services,addressed the tough agricultural eco-nomics head on.

“The reality is that in almost any setof economic circumstances we havefarmers who do well and farmers whodo not do well. There can be a range ofreasons — weather, managerial deci-sions, marketing mistakes,” saidHebrink. “This situation too will havefarmers who weren’t prepared for thesecircumstances and others who were.”

Logically you can expect more stresson younger farmers, but this toodepends upon partnerships with theirparents.

“But it’s as much about their mana-gerial skills as it is their financialcapacity,” said Hebrink, emphasizingthat if they have been making goodproduction decisions, AgStar will behanging with them.

But if young farmers were thinkingthe golden years of this past decade werethe new reality of agriculture and lakecabins or vacation homes got included intheir lifestyle, those decisions may comeback to bite, he suggested.

AgStar, a farmer-owned cooperativeserving Minnesota and northwest Wis-consin, is part of the Farm Credit Sys-tem. AgStar partners with a number offarm credits and other lenders acrossthe United States.

“We actually have financial assets inabout 40 states,” said Hebrink.Cycles

Hebrink has 36 years experience inagricultural financing. Economiccycles have always played a role in hiswork.

“We go through these cycles andalways the question is ‘how long willthis one last?’” he said.

“We just came through one of thelongest stretches of prosperous times foragriculture that I have ever seen. Thelast decade has been very prosperous.”

What goes up ususally comes down.Still in these turbulent times, farmersare keeping a positive attitude.

“Farmers are eternal optimists, andthey really have to be. If you’re making a

land purchase you have tobelieve there is a strong future inagriculture,” said Hebrink. “The

statistics on the doubling of food demandwithin the next 30 years worldwidemeans that agriculture has to be theprovider for this growing population.”

However, that market potential istempered in the minds of farmersbecause of the financial circumstances,explained Hebrink.

Hebrink recalled the financial painsof the 1980s with interest rates bal-looning up to 20-22 percent.

“We are certainly not expecting a sce-nario anything like that ever again,”said Hebrink. “The balance sheet ofagriculture is frankly as strong as ithas ever been.”

Financing farm land also haschanged since then.

“Today we finance land on what weview will be its sustainable value, noton what it was selling for. Typically weare financing land with more than 50percent down,” he said. “We’re morecautious now. I think our farmersunderstand they need a lower debtload as well.”Technology

The impact of technology is stagger-ing, according to Hebrink. He cited arecent U.S. Department of Agricultureitem that said the input of labor goinginto agriculture has dropped 78 per-cent over the last 65 years.

“Offsetting this is the significantincrease in capital investments in tech-nology and equipment to make thesedramatic improvements in efficiencypossible,” he said. “At each of our stock-holder advisory group sessions, discus-sions always include technology andprecision agriculture. And not just forpurposes of increasing yields but moreimportantly how does this technologymake me more profitable.”

The large amounts of data being gen-erated for farmers is a growing chal-lenge. He said that the key questionfrom producers is “How do I utilize thisdata?”

“Earlier this year we put on a Tech-noledge Conference in Minneapolis.We weren’t selling technology; the pur-pose specifically was how can produc-ers better use what technology is deliv-

ering. It was well received,” saidHebrink. “The event had presentersfrom across the country. And it wasn’tjust limited to AgStar clients. All farm-ers were invited.”

In fact, AgStar has already plannedthe 2016 event for Jan. 20-21 at HiltonHotel in Minneapolis.Interest rates

When asked about the cost of moneyfor next season, Hebrink didn’t dodgethe question.

“Everyone is watching the FederalReserve. The bet is when they willraise interests rates, not if. We are nowinto our sixth year without a change inthe discount rates to the FederalReserve. That is unprecedented,”Hebrink said.

“So interest rates will start nudging upbut it will be modest is our expectation.”

He added that the U.S. economy is stillweak but the dollar is strong. Risinginterest rates will only make the dollarstronger relative to other currencies.

“That creates a lot of head winds forthe economy. This recovery has been

different from other recoveries,” hesaid. “It’s been much slower, moreshallow and it continues to be veryfragile which will be why the FedReserve is cautious about interestrates ahead.”

When it comes to land purchasesamongst AgStar customers, Hebrinkindicated that 80 percent of pur-chases have been by farmers asopposed to investors.

“Investors are much more cautious,”he said. “With recent profits in farm-ing it was only logical that farmerswould see these opportunities. How-ever those record-setting prices thatgot into the news were usually on an80 acre next door parcel. We’ve seensome softening in land prices recentlyparticularly with more marginalproperties and that likely will con-tinue for the near term.”

AgStar Financial Services, head-quartered in Mankato, Minn., is acooperative owned by over 23,000client-shareholders in Minnesota andWisconsin. Visit www.AgStar.com formore information. ❖

MORGAN, Minn. — A goodbarometer of how well a col-lege is doing might be meas-ured in the increase in enroll-ment. The University ofMinnesota College of Food,Agricultural and NaturalResources Sciences is lookingat an 11-12 percent enrollment increasefor 2015-16 at its St. Paul campus.

Brian Buhr, Ph.D. and Deanof CFANS, talked about thepopularity of his college at

Farmfest, held Aug. 4-6 at the GilfillanEstate.

“It’s getting pretty well known thatthere is demand in agriculture. A goodexample is that we are about 100 per-cent job placement after graduation,”he said. “The link between agricultureand natural resources is growing. Youdon’t need to be a farm kid to be inter-ested in agriculture.”

Buhr said that both application andacceptance rates weregood, which suggestshigh quality students.

“We’re above ourexpectations and we’regetting quite a fewtransfer students, bothfrom other collegesand from the collegeswithin our Universitysystem,” said Buhr.

Documenting thechanges, Buhr noted asignificant increase inplant science pro-grams. The pushtoward urban agriculture and localfoods might be a factor. Even a familypet might be pushing some studentsinto veterinary medicine.

The growing popularity of backyardgardening and an interest in “wheredoes our food come from” being taughtat many high schools is enhancing theplant science department, said Buhr.

“We’re getting a lot of students fromurban areas. Of course we dependupon our rural areas to provide goodnumbers of students to us also,” hesaid.Broadband

Enhancing broadband connectivityfor farms and rural communities was apopular panel discussion and forum atFarmfest. In fact, a whole day wasdevoted to rural broadband.

While broadband is not an issue forUniversity of Minnesota students,Buhr said that the university is usinginternet technology for enhancedlearning opportunities.

“For example, we now offer coursesout of our Northwest Research andOutreach Center at Grand Rapids. Alsoan entomology course offered up thereengages St. Paul campus researcherswho are doing special work on diseaseand insect issues,” he said.

Buhr added that students at the St.Paul campus connect three or fourtimes during the semester to WestCentral Research and Outreach Cen-ter at Morris for “hands-on” experiencein particular research being done atthat station.

Value of educationTuition costs will always be an issue.But Buhr asks the question: “What is

the value? Because our job placementis so high, we’re hearing good thingsfrom industry on how well our stu-dents are prepared for this big stepinto the business world.”

Getting more scholarships and sup-port for students is anongoing effort, saidBuhr. That’s why theUniversity of Min-nesota works hard atsecuring work-studyprograms.

“We recognize thatwe are competing withSouth Dakota State,North Dakota State,Iowa State and otherMidwestern agricul-tural schools. And tocompete you have to

be offering somepluses,” he said.

CFANS will begin September with2,000 students on the St. Paul campusand 800 graduate students.

“We’re not yet at ‘full house’ statusbut the agricultural and food scienceprograms here on St. Paul campus aredefinitely in a growth mode,” saidBuhr.

The graduate program at the St.Paul campus is strong and steady withapplied economics currently thelargest graduate program. The Nat-ural Resources and Science curriculumis also growing steadily.Water quality

Water resources are a popular areaof study at the University of Min-nesota CFANS.

“We’re committed to agriculturalproductivity and sustaining agricul-tural productivity. Producers recognizeyou have to maintain those naturalresources of soils and water and theenvironment of pest management,”Buhr said.

When it comes to buffer strips, Buhrsaid they are looking for solutions thatmaintain productivity and improvethose natural resources.

“The corn growers and the soybeangrowers are working on quality issuesrelating to nutrient management andcrop productivity. We’re working onnew genetics to improve water effi-ciency and cropping systems that alsoenhance water quality,” he said. “Doingboth of those things is a challenge forall of us.” ❖

By SARAH JOHNSONThe Land Correspondent

In 1981, a Minneapolis schoolteacher who moon-lighted as a cooking class instructor penned a cook-book that was not only cute but also was wall-to-wall with useful, delicious recipes that were aimedat busy cooks without a lot of time on their hands —aimed at women who considered cooking a labor oflove, with emphasis on the labor (groan).

Betty Malisow came to the rescue with “RecipesFrom Minnesota With Love…”, featuring simple,Minnesota-themed meals with fresh food and ingre-dients most cooks have on hand.

These relatively easy recipes hearken back to atime when processed and packaged foods were lessavailable and less popular, when people generallybought fresh, whole vegetables and meats and cutthem up and put them in a pan instead of defrostingsomebody else’s corporate recipe in a TV dinner.

Convenience, however, has always been a popularconcept in the kitchen, so many recipes were short-

ies that could be prepped quickly and easily.Have fun with these selections.

■

After enjoying something similar to the next recipeat Hell’s Kitchen in Minneapolis, we were eager togive Blueberry Wild Rice Breakfast a taste test.Although we found it to be laughably “traditional”(white sugar and dairy products were not availablein pre-colonial America due to the lack of sugarrefineries and cows), the wild rice and blueberriesdefinitely fit the traditional bill and tasted heavenlytogether with that creamy half-and-half on top.

We tried one bowl cold and one bowl warmed in themicrowave, and preferred the warm version by asmall margin. Four out of four yums from the John-son clan!Blueberry Wild Rice Breakfast — “A traditional Indianbreakfast”

2 servings1 cup cooked wild rice1⁄2 cup blueberries2 teaspoons sugar1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg1⁄2 cup creamSpoon wild rice and blueber-

ries into two soup bowls. Sprin-kle with sugar and nutmeg. Pourcream over and serve.

■

When you want a soup that’snot too heavy, perhaps a littlesweet with your salty … try Cur-ried Carrot Soup, which gives astarring role to a traditionalunderstudy, the carrot. Carrotsare amazing when pureed, mixedwith cream and lightly seasoned.This version allows you to add asmuch (or as little) curry as youlike (or dislike).

Curried Carrot Soup6 servings2 ounces butter1 pound carrots, peeled and chopped1 large onion, chopped3 1⁄2 cups beef stockSalt and pepper2 to 3 teaspoons curry powderChopped fresh parsleyMelt butter and add carrots and onion. Cook until

onion is transparent. Add stock and season to tastewith salt and pepper. Simmer until carrots are soft.Put mixture in a blender and blend until smooth.Put mixture back in pan. Add curry to taste. Let sim-mer 15 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley before serv-ing.

Freezing tomatoes is a great option when you areshort of time and energy or you are “tomatoed-out”!

To freeze tomatoes, dip them in boiling water for 30seconds to 1 minute to easily remove the skins. Coreand peel. You can quarter, chop, or puree the toma-toes in a food processor. Put into a freezer bag or con-tainer, leave 1 inch headspace, seal and freeze.

Tomatoes can be frozen raw or cooked. For conven-ience, freeze blended raw tomatoes in ice cube trays.Store cubes in a bag and take out as many as youneed.

Freeze tomato sauce as a base for many recipes.Wash, core, quarter and seed tomatoes (peel or notpeel). Cook until soft. Stir often to prevent sticking.Puree in food processor or food mill. Simmer untilreduced by half. Cool and freeze.

For best results, season tomatoes before servingrather than before freezing. Freezing may changethe flavor of garlic, onion and herbs. Remember thatyour freezer, to maintain quality frozen food, shouldbe at 0°F or lower.Drying tomatoes

Even if we can’t “sun-dry” in Minnesotas’s humindsummers, we can dry tomatoes in a food dehydratoror oven. Plum or paste tomato varieties like Roma orViva Italian work best.

Slice tomatoes with no blemishes about half inchthick and dry until leathery, but still pliable and notsticky. Tomatoes can be dried with skins on orremoved. Store dried fruits in a glass jar in a cool (60F) dry, dark area for up to one year.

Give freezingtomatoes a try

Do you have a thing you have beenmeaning to do since spring, the first ofthe year, or even the turn of the 21stcentury? You know — that thing. Thatone thing that you talk about, thinkabout, can even picture in your heador on paper, but you haven’t startedyet. Not because of an accident, natu-ral disaster, or lack of tools, time, ortalent. It boils down to this. It’s goingto be hard.

The thing will demand work, disci-

pline, and perseverance. It may messwith your mornings, your evenings,likely both. Maybe your one thing istaking a class, eating regular mealswith your family, cleaning out the stor-age room, shingling the garage, tight-ening the budget or the belt loops,starting good habits or breaking badones.

Here’s the reality. It’s more comfort-able to think about exercise than tolace up the tennis shoes. It’s easier to

talk about shingling than topound nails, or to pin heart-healthy recipes than to pre-pare them. Although the endgoal is filled with all that isgood and right, the steps toget there are difficult. And ofthe thousand steps that needto take place between thenow and the not yet, therewill be no finish line until wetake the first one.

“It takes 31 days to create ahabit,” middle daughterStephanie said.

“No, it’s 20 days,” said Melanie, heryounger sister.

Correcting both daughters I said, “Ithought it was 21days.”

Regardless of thestats you use, it’s alot. And there is nomagic to the num-bers. After 31 daysof pulling herselfout of bed early torun before work,Stephanie thought it would get easierwith time. On day 32 she laid there.Wasn’t this the day she would want tojump out of bed eager to run? Nope.Not even a little bit.

She’s not alone. In his book, “Spiri-tual Leadership,” J. Oswald Sandersshared a story about how many mis-sionary pioneers limited their ministry,while Douglas Thornton of Egyptpushed ahead with great vision. A sen-ior colleague said to Thornton, “You aredifferent from anyone else I know. Youare always looking at the end of things.Most people, myself included, find itbetter to do the next thing.”

Thornton’s answer: “I find that the

constant inspiration gainedby looking at the goal is thechief thing that helps me topersevere.”

A handful of years ago myfriend Colleen was chal-lenged by a pastor’s ques-tion. He asked, “If youknew that you couldn’t fail,what one thing would youdo?”

Colleen’s first thoughtwas that she would knithats and give all the pro-

ceeds to The Esther School — a schoolin Zambia for under-resourced chil-dren. She didn’t think about how muchtime it would take, or where she would

find the yarn orsell her goods. Shesimply answeredhis question. Andwhen the pastorurged the congre-gation to put feetto their thoughts,she did. Today herhands have knit-ted and donated

over $50,000 to help build this impor-tant school. And she’s not done yet.

You’re up next. While the rest of theworld shoots for New Year’s resolu-tions, mid-season reset buttons, andend-of-year goals, there’s no time likethe present for new beginnings. Whatis the one thing you would do if youknew you couldn’t fail? Go and do justthat.

Hot and sunnygardens are stun-ning with theirvibrant colorsand high level ofvisual energy.

An underusedplant, Anthemis,commonly calledGolden Mar-guerite Daisy, is aperennial thattolerates hot, drylocations andblooms from early summer to fall. Itproduces the loveliest of lemon-yellowflowers.

My first start of this plant came frommy mother, Eva Schroeder. She was agarden columnist who wrote for severalpublications in the Midwest and main-tained a destination garden, ChapelGardens in Eagle Bend, Minn., thatwas primarily filled with roses.

If any of you readers remember mymother’s columns or have visited thegardens I would love to hear from you.

The stats on the Golden Margueriteinclude: height – 2 feet; spread — 2feet; foliage — gray green; planting —full sun

Examining this daisy closely or look-ing at a macro photo, it appears asthough the center is a cluster of tinylemon drop candies. The actual size ofthe individual blossom is in line withthe size of a quarter. It deserves closeinspection to reveal the exquisite shapeand texture.

Children often learn to draw a daisyas their first flower art because it hassuch a simple, classic shape.

A childhood game, “He loves me, heloves me not” is a game in which oneperson seeks to determine whether theobject of their affection returns thataffection or not.

A person playing the game alternately

speaks the phrases “He loves me, heloves me not” while picking one petal offa flower for each phrase. The phrasethey speak while picking off the lastpetal supposedly represents the truthbetween the object of their affection lov-ing them or not. (The player is motivatedby attraction to the person they arethinking of while reciting the phrases.)

The Golden Marguerite works greatfor this game and young kids visitingour gardens are invited to pick a daisyand pull off the petals. Usually they gothrough about five flowers each whichis fine since the plant has an abun-dance of blooms.

I’ve heard that another version of thegame uses the phrases “He loves me, he

loves me lots.”One issue some gardeners have with

this plant is its ability to reseed andtry to populate an area with its off-spring. This is easily controlled by deadheading (cutting off the spent blooms)before the seeds ripen and fall to theground or by hoeing out the youngseedlings in early spring.

It is a great plant to use in prairiegardens or natural areas when reseed-ing is welcome and considered to be anattribute. Propagation is by division orseeding.

Daisies are from the Asteraceae plantfamily and have been around for cen-

turies. Their casual charm and toler-ance of adverse conditions makesthem ideal candidates for windy anddry areas.

The Golden Marguerite is a work-horse of a perennial and seems to beunderused, in my opinion. Successgrowing this plant is practically guar-anteed and care is minimal.

Its lovely shape, color and texturemake for a welcome presence in anygarden. Daisies are delightful!

Grain AnglesThe role of spec funds

We are now entering into August with much of thecorn crop pollinated and beans setting pods. Weatherin Minnesota and Wisconsin — for the most part —has cooperated, resulting in excellent looking crops.

The Eastern Corn Belt has been struggling withexcessive moisture and there isgreat disparity between our back-yard (West of the Mississippi)excluding some states like Wis-consin and conditions in the east-ern Corn Belt.

Minnesota and Wisconsin cornconditions are both about 17 per-cent better than the five yearaverage; rated at 87 percent goodto excellent in Minnesota and 82percent good to excellent in Wis-consin as of the July 27 U.S.Department of Agriculturereports.

With crop conditions relatively steady and weatherconditions mostly favorable, market volatility stillremains high. Of course, many variables affect themarkets like: currency exchange, global competitionand production, along with the markets perceptionon the crop.

In news headlines we read about speculative funds(spec funds), commercials, and individual traders.There are three major types of commodity marketparticipants. Understanding who they are and whattheir roles are, can help as grain producers work toposition their operations and mitigate risk.

Lately there has been a lot of money moving in andout of the market causing large price fluctuations.Managed money, otherwise known as speculative

Grain OutlookCrop numbersshock market

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing Aug. 14.

CORN — The market was shocked this weekwhen the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s cropnumbers were much higher than anticipated. Any-thing that led up to the reportwas quickly forgotten.

Starting with the 2014-15 bal-ance sheet, imports were raisedby 3 million bushels and Feed,Seed & Industrial increased by9 million bushels. Ending stockswere down 7 million bushels to1.772 billion bushels.

The upward crop size revisionsfor both 2015-16 corn and soy-beans were the largest devia-tions from estimates everrecorded. The 2015-16 corn cropat 13.686 billion bushels was 359million bushels over the pre-report estimate and156 million bushels above the July USDA forecast.

On the 2015-16 balance sheet, planted acres found100,000 acres for 89.0 million planted acres. Har-vested acres were unchanged at 81.1 million acres.

The yield was a huge surprise as it gained 2.0bushels per acre to 168.8 bu./acre, resulting in acrop of 13.686 billion bushels! The range of yieldforecasts was only from 160.4 to 167.5 bu./acre. Ifrealized, this would be the second-largest U.S. cornyield ever and the third biggest U.S. corn crop.

Minnesota’s corn yield was estimated at a record184 bu./acre (156 last year), Illinois bu./acre (188),and Nebraska a record 187 bu./acre (179). Helpingto account for South American corn working into the

Livestock AnglesRoller coaster ride continues

The livestock markets seem to continue their rollercoaster rides. The interesting fact is that for the pastseveral months this roller coaster ride that both thecattle and hogs have been in are still in the sameever so slightly declining trading ranges that theyhave been in for several months.

The cattle market has seen thestruggle between supply anddemand continue into the monthof August. There has been littlechange in either the supply ofcattle, which continues to remaintight, or the demand for beef thatremains well below years past.

From a supply point of view,the number of cattle is notexpected to increase for severalmore months. However, consider-ing the weight at which cattleare currently being slaughtered,this increased weight is offsetting the decrease incattle to some degree.

From the demand side, the past few months of coldstorage reports have indicated more beef in storageeach month than analysts had anticipated. Thiscould be because of the increased weights or morelikely the weaker demand as reflected in the reducedboxed beef trade. With the U.S. dollar continuing toclimb against foreign currencies, the likelihood ofincreasing the export business seems remote at thistime. A further complication on the demand side ofthe equation.

It would not appear at this time that the tradingrange that has developed over the past numerousmonths will be penetrated in either direction for a

NYSTROM, from pg. 18U.S. southeastern seaboard, importswere increased 5 million to 30 millionbushels. On the usage side, feed/residual jumped 25million, FSI was raised 40 million of which ethanolwas upped 25 million, and exports were cut by 25million bushels. The change in exports leavesexports unchanged at 1.85 billion bushels year onyear.

Ending stocks of 1.713 billion bushels, 114 millionbushels higher than the 1.599 billion July projectionand widely different than the 1.424 billion busheltrade estimate. The stocks to use ratio went from11.6 percent to 12.4 percent. The average on-farmprice projection fell a dime to $3.35-$3.95 per bushel.

The USDA’s outlook for world 2015-16 carryoutwas 195.1 mmt compared to the average guess of187.91 mmt and last month’s 189.95 mmt. Brazil’scorn production figure gained 7 mmt to 79 mmt,Argentina’s number was unchanged at 25 mmt, EU’snumber fell by 3.5 mmt due to hot, dry conditions,Ukraine production rose 1 mmt and China’s num-ber dropped 4 mmt. Also this week, Conab raisedtheir 2014-15 Brazilian corn crop forecast from81.8 mmt to 84.3 mmt! The USDA was in linewith 84 mmt.

Old crop sales commitments areup to 1.856 billion bushels, slightly higher thanthe 1.85 billion the USDA has dialed in for theyear. New crop sales commitments total 200million bushels, still way below the 336 millionwe had on the books last year at this time for newcrop. The USDA is now projecting 2015-16 exportsto be unchanged from the 2014-15 to 2015-16 cropyear.

Beginning Sept. 1, China will implement a track-ing system for imports of dried distillers grains,sorghum, and barley. Imports will be required tohave permits and to register purchase details withthe government. It is yet to be determined whetherthis will result in tighter control of imports of thesecommodities. China was only able to sell about twopercent of the reserve corn they offered at auctionthis week, in line with previous sales this year.

Corn conditions as of Aug. 9 were unchangedacross the board at 70 percent good/excellent whenthe trade was anticipating a slight decline. Condi-tions were the second best in the last five years. Ninepercent of the crop was dented versus 15 percent onaverage.

OUTLOOK: December corn pierced support onreport day when it bottomed at a new contract low of$3.57 1⁄2, but closed above the double bottom $3.621⁄2 support level from June. The contract low will actas first support with resistance at $3.94 per bushel.For the week, December corn dropped 8 1⁄4 cents toclose at $3.75 1⁄2 per bushel. It traded a 44 1⁄2 centrange for the week from $4.02 to $3.57 1⁄2 perbushel.

The Farm Service Agency will update acreagenumbers on Aug. 17. There will also be a strong focus

this coming week on the Pro FarmerMidwest Crop Tour and their yield

findings. Their final numbers will bereleased on Aug. 20.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans briefly touched their 70cent limit lower on report day at $9.07 1⁄4 per bushelas it sliced through support levels on bearish cropnumbers.

The USDA increased the 2015-16 soybean produc-tion forecast to 3.916 billion bushels, up 31 millionbushels from their July projection and 192 millionbushels higher than the average trade estimate. Thedifference between the trade estimate and the actualnumber was more than twice the record deviation.

Breaking down the report, ending stocks wereraised 45 million bushels from 425 million to 470million bushels when the market was expecting adecline to 301 million bushels. The yield was alsoincreased by 0.9 bu./acre from 46.0 to 46.9 bu./acre,the biggest August soybean yield forecast on recordand the second largest U.S. yield if proven true.

The range of yield projections was only 43.2 to 45.7bu./acre. The average expectation was for a declineto 44.7 bu./acre. Minnesota’s soybean yield waspegged at a record 48 bu./acre (versus 42 bu./acrelast year), Illinois at 53 bu./acre (56 bu./acre), Iowa52 bu./acre (51.5), Indiana 49 bu./acre (56), andNebraska a record 56 bu./acre (54).

This month’s report included resurveyed acres inthree states which resulted in a cut in planted acresof 800,000 acres to 84.3 million acres. Missouri aloneaccounted for 650,000 of the lost acres. Harvestedacres, although reduced by 900,000 acres to 83.5 mil-lion acres, are a record.

Categorically, the carry-in fell by 15 millionbushels when the 2014-15 balance sheet cut crush by

15 million and seed usage by 1 million, andincreased residual by 1 million bushels. The 2014-15 carryout went from 255 million to 240 millionbushels.

Back to the 2015-16 balance sheet, crush wasraised 20 million, exports were cut by 50 millionand residual was increased by 2 million bushels.The stocks to use ratio climbed from 11.4 percent inJuly to 12.6 percent for August. The average farmprice slipped by a dime to $8.40-$9.90 per bushel.

World soybean ending stocks for 2015-16 fell from91.8 mmt last month to 86.9 mmt and compared tothe average estimate of 89.89 mmt. Both Argentineand Brazilian production were left untouched at 57mmt and 97 mmt respectively. China’s importsincreased by 1.5 mmt to 79 mmt and compared to77.5 mmt for 2014-15. Brazil’s exports jumped from50.75 mmt to 54.5 mmt and Argentina’s from 8.7mmt to 9.75 mmt.

In an unexpected move, China devalued their cur-rency a total of 3.5 percent this past week to try andstimulate their economy. China’s devaluation hasbrought to the surface concerns over China’s eco-nomic growth in the short run. A devaluationmakes China’s exports more attractive to buyers;however, the devaluation makes imports costlierfor China, i.e. soybeans. In the longer term, aneasier monetary policy should support theirgrowth.

Weekly export sales for old crop were neutralat 3.5 million bushels. Old crop commitments of1.864 billion bushels fall into the historicalrange of carrying over 60 million bushels of old

crop sales into the next year. The USDA has 2014-15 sales projected at 1.825 billion bushels. For new

crop, weekly sales of 24.3 million bushels werewithin expectations.

Total 2015-16 commitments of 355.6 millionbushels continues to trail last year when there were665 million bushels on the books. Year on year, theUSDA is forecasting exports to fall 100 millionbushels from 1.825 billion to 1.725 billion bushels.This category will continue to be monitored to see ifthe USDA has cut 2015-16 exports enough.

Soybean crop conditions as of Aug. 9 wereunchanged in the good/excellent category at 63 per-cent, but there was a 1 percent move from good toexcellent. The expectation was for a small decline inconditions.

OUTLOOK: The July NOPA crush will bereleased on Aug. 17 with crush estimated at 141.5million bushels. Comments and numbers from theMidwest Crop Tour this week will be closelywatched for signs the USDA may have erred on theupside for this year’s yield. Wetter, cooler conditionsare in the current forecast as the heat wave sub-sides which should make for a good finish to thecrop.

The next support level in November soybeans isthe contract low of $8.95 3⁄4 per bushel with firstresistance at $9.54 per bushel. November soybeansplunged 46 3⁄4 cents lower for the week to close at$9.16 1⁄2 per bushel. It traded a wide 95 cent rangefor the week from $9.96 1⁄2 to $9.01 1⁄2 per bushel. ❖

RINGER, from pg. 1younger pitchers move into the Elders division.

The standard horseshoe court is 40 feet. When menturn 70 they join the Elders, who throw from 30 feet.Women and Juniors (ages 13-17) also throw from 30feet. Cadets (ages 12 and under) throw from 20 feet.

Armitage said that when men turn 70, it is com-mon that their percentage of ringers increases,since they move 10 feet closer to the stakes.

“My ringer average jumped about 20 percent afterI turned 70,” he said. “People 70 and over have thehighest average statistically.”

Moving to the 30-foot mark means that in sometournaments Elders are competing with women. Hewas at an invitational tournament in St. Louis ear-lier this year. The top percentage throwers in the30-foot division included four women. He said inthose four matches, he won two and lost two.Farm pastime

For Armitage, this all started on the farm in the 1950s.His father, Harry Armitage, lost his Minnesota

farm in the Depression and moved his family toCalifornia where they grew grapes. Having recov-ered financially, he brought the family back to Min-nesota and purchased land, giving land to his twoolder sons, Gerald and Ralph, to start farming. Atthe time, Sig was still in school, living in Canbywith his parents, but every day he and his fatherwould help his brothers on the farm.

Two horseshoe stakes were set up beneath two

cottonwood trees on Ralph’s farm. Father and sonswould pitch horseshoes on their lunch hour.

“I liked to play at noon because the more we playedthe less we were working,” Armitage said.

They started out with real horseshoes, the kindhorses actually wear. Later a brother purchased twosets of regulation horseshoes. After 60 years, thosestakes and cottonwood trees are still there, thoughthey haven’t been used for 30 years.

When Armitage graduated from high school, hisfather gave him 160 acres to start farming.

“I farmed for 32 years,” he said. “I quit when I was49 (and rented out the land) and I’ve been drivingschool bus ever since.”

All that time he was pitching horseshoes, as wellas pitching fast-pitch softball and bowling. “Allunderhand delivery,” he said, where you are trying tothrow to one spot. When he quit softball, he gotinvolved in a horseshoe pitching league.

Armitage has put serious effort into pitching well.“I throw 12 months of the year and pitch 1,000

shoes a week, often more,” he said. “With practice myaverage is currently 74 percent ringers and has beenthe top average in Minnesota for the last four years.”Keeping the sport alive

Three years ago he and his wife sold the farmhouse and built a house in Canby. He set up a 40-footcourt in his backyard. He also found room in thebasement for a 30-foot court, so he can pitch year-round. This past winter he pitched 18,000 shoes inhis basement. When they spend part of the winter inArizona, he plays in tournaments there.

Minnesota’s horseshoe leagues operate during thesummer, but horseshoe tournaments are held allyear. The town of Upsala, Minn., has indoor courtswhere winter tournaments take place.

MGSHPA lists 24 clubs in the state. Membershipnumbers in the Association have declined slightly inrecent years as some older members are lost and notso many youth have taken up the sport. Armitagetried to remedy that this summer. For the first timehe conducted a class in horseshoe pitching inCanby’s summer recreation program. He hopes thisintroduction will get some youngsters interested.

He was part of the effort spearheaded by team-mate Curt Olson to build “state of the art” horseshoecourts in Canby, which in June hosted the Best of theWest Tournament.

While official membership in sanctioned leaguesmay have declined, there are still numerous non-sanctioned leagues, sometimes called “bar leagues,”that are keeping the sport alive.A ringer

July was a very good month for this horseshoepitcher. At the National Senior Games, his 75-79-year-old class was the largest, with 15 contestantsfrom 10 states. When the top eight players squaredoff in a round robin playoff the second day, Armitagewent undefeated and won the gold medal.

He finished 12th in the World Tournament lastyear in New York, and would have been pitching inthe top bracket of his division at the World Tourna-ment in Topeka, but he pulled out.

“It would have been another 10 days of being goneand six days of pitching,” he said.

That was more than he wanted considering he hadsix tournaments lined up for August, plus leagueplayoffs and the Minnesota State Tournament onLabor Day weekend.

“No rest for the wicked,” he said. Or more to thepoint, for those who just love pitching horseshoes.

There may be plenty of casual horseshoe pitchinggoing on around Minnesota, but tournament playerstake it seriously.

“When you’re playing in competition, it’s tough,”Armitage said. “Sometimes it is stressful. We laughand make jokes beforehand and afterwards, butwhen we’re playing, it’s business.”

LENSING, from pg. 18funds, use commodities as invest-ments much like those investing inthe stock market. Typically these speculative fundsare long (buying) futures contracts and it’s commonto hold them until they roll their position forward.

“Rolling” a position is simply moving their positionto a different option month, usually “rolling” (sellinga nearby month and buying a deferred month) astime goes by. These funds influence the marketgreatly, and one of the greatest benefits provided tothe market is liquidity and volume.

In late July, spec funds actually had the biggestlong (bought) position since the drought of 2012.With liquidity and volume, the market becomesmuch more transparent. Commercials or users ofgrain and oilseeds depend on this liquidity and vol-ume to hedge their risks as they buy, process, or shipgrain.

The other major group of commoditymarkets are individuals; many times

these are farmers or individualinvestors. Farmers, of course, are using these mar-kets to reduce risk of rising or falling prices. Cornhas fallen about 70 cents in a few short weeks andmarket volatility is expected to remain high. Usingfutures and options involves risk much like othertypes of grain marketing.

However understanding who the three majorgroups of market participants are may help you bet-

ter understand what spec funds, commercials, andindividuals are when you hear them referred to inmarketing news headlines.

The hog market is an interesting market thesedays. Hog prices seem to have stabilized in a narrowtrading range over the past few weeks. The cashmarket has been back and forth reflecting the factthat supply and demand are nearly equal on a broadbasis, while the futures market reflects the day-to-day increase or decrease in supply or demand. Thishas left the overall market very choppy in recentdays.

In a broader look at the market, hog numbers areexpected to increase in the months ahead whiledemand should remain pretty much on pace with theincreasing supplies. From the retail perspective,pork by far is the best value in the meat protein mar-ket for consumers at the present time.

One look at the disparity between beef prices andpork prices is the main reason for the fairly consis-tent demand for pork, rather than for beef, over thelast several months. Producers should continue tomonitor market conditions and use market strengthto protect inventories.

Too many rely on supply alone to forecast prices,whereas demand is the underlying factor that ulti-mately determines price in any market. ❖

WATKINS, Minn. — Hisfather bought the land in 1954.Today the farm houses 900dairy cows along with the nec-essary barns and buildings forlivestock, feed and equipment.Acres have expanded to about1,000 yet they still purchaseanother 20 percent of addi-tional feed. And perhaps there’s roomfor a few more cows.

“We’re not yet maxed out. We couldbuild one more barn getting us up to1,300 cows. That would be about it,however,” said Dennis Landwehr, headof Landwehr Dairy.

Landwehr Dairy was a stop on theJuly 21 Minnesota State Cattlemen’sTour which included stops in Stearns,Wright, Meeker and McLeod counties.Landwehr Dairy is three miles northof Watkins, Minn.

Teamwork is the glue that makesthis operation function at highly pro-ductive levels. Landwehr, his wife Mar-lene, son Mike (who manages the cropsand feeding aspects) and herd managerIsaac Miller (who oversees herd healthand employees) own and operateLandwehr Dairy, LLC. Landwehr him-self is overall manager of the operation.

“Not a college degree amongst us butwe’re all graduates of the college ofhard knocks,” said Landwehr.

Efficiency is key in this operation. Itstarts with management of calves andyoung stock. They maintain their ownpasteurizer which allows them to feedlower quality milk.

“Pasteurizers have been around forsome time. We wanted a way to utilizeour waste milk. With our automaticcalf feeders, calves consume up to 10liters of milk a day. Milk intake istracked using RF-ID tags that recordthe time and amount of milk consumedevery time a calf enters the feeder,”Landwehr said.Milk and feed

They calve about 1,100 cows per

year. Calves get five to sevendays of bottle feeding in indi-vidual calf pens; then getmoved to automatic calf feed-ers in groups of 25 in the rear-ing barn for four months. Nextstep is to a heifer raising oper-ation where they are kept until60 days after breeding.

The dairy is located in goodcrop country so no pastures in

this operation. Corn and alfalfa are theonly crops. Additional purchases aremostly corn for grain but some cornsilage also gets purchased from nearbygrowers. Pricing on silage is figured at7.5 to eight times the pricing on abushel of corn.

Like most major dairy farms, milk-ing is on a 3X schedule — 6 a.m., 2p.m. and 10 p.m. That requires asteady and dependable milking crew.Cows average 85-90 pounds of milkper day.

Total employment is 17 full-time andfive part-time employees whichincludes three women.

“We’re 90 percent Mexican employ-ees. We provide housing for 10. His-panics have been very good to us,” saidLandwehr.

Miller, a 14-year veteran of the dairy,sets up the schedules for the milkingcrew.

“He knows what makes a good milkperson. And these crews do a good jobof working together,” Landwehr said.

Feed handling and storage is veryprecise. Great care ensures feed is pre-served correctly to preserve maximumquality. Both milk quality and quan-tity hinge on good nutrition so atten-tion to detail is a must.

For about 12 years, Penta feed wag-ons have been doing the heavy haulingand moving from feed storage areas tothe various barns.

“Why Penta? Service is important tous. Also green is our primary powercolor but that too is because of ready

Their newest free stall was completed just shortlybefore this July tour. Landwehr likes the open sideswith Starwood rafter construction in all barns. Hecompliments his contractor, Arnzen Construction ofFreeport, Minn.

“They do good work. They might be a little moreexpensive,” said Landwehr. “but it’s quality workand it’s done on time. They do a good job right off theget-go so no problems with any of their work.”

Alfalfa is a critical crop to Landwehr Dairy.“We cut every 28 days, four cuts per season. For

corn we use multi-purpose hybrids that we can har-vest either for silage or grain. Chisel plowing falltillage is our program. We don’t purchase extranitrogen. Our cattle manure provides enough,” hesaid.

The three barns total have 10 million gallonmanure storage pits.

Like many modern dairy farms, Landwehr Dairy isa “spic and span” operation. Landwehr is adamantabout the looks of the business.

“Sloppiness is not tolerated and will not be toler-ated. We hire for attitude and train for aptitude. Ifthey have good attitude, they’re trainable,” saidLandwehr. “I try to say ‘hello’ or ‘goodbye’ to everyemployee every day. Teamwork is the catalyst out

here.”Landwehr said two things are important to every

farmer: 1) Farm appearance since you only get oneshot at a first impression; and 2) Great employeesare a must.

“A daily priority in our business is to help con-sumers understand that this farm produces awholesome product for their families.”

This column was writtenfor the marketing weekending Aug. 14.

Dairy product prices thesecond week of August sawcheese decline, endingthree weeks of gain, andbutter soar past $2.Chicago MercantileExchange block Cheddarclosed Friday at $1.6925per pound, down 5.75 centson the week and 52.75cents below a year ago. TheCheddar barrels were down two cents,closing at $1.6975, 51.25 cents below ayear ago, and a half-cent above theblocks. Ten cars of block and four ofbarrel traded hands.

Central milk production islower, according to DairyMarket News, but higherthan last year’s levels. Milkentering manufacturing isdecreasing but the Midwesthas plenty to process cheese.Domestic demand is strong,particularly from food serv-ice and pizza makers, andinventories are steady.

Western productionremains active with strongmilk intakes. Processors are

noting good demand for retail cheese.Western producers are comfortablewith current pricing levels but, feelthat downward pressure will moveprices lower even though that is not

reflected in all pricing mechanisms.Spot butter hit a new high for 2015, fin-

ishing at $2.0650 per pound, besting theMay 13 level by a half-cent, up 7.5 centson the week, but 59.5 cents below a yearago when it shot up 26 cents, to $2.66.Twenty-one carloads traded hands.

Butter demand is active from food serv-ice for near-term use, according to DairyMarket News. Churners also report somegrocery chains placed early orders for theholidays. Western butter production isslowing with most manufacturers sellingexcess cream. Inventory is at comfortablelevels. Consumer demand remains steady.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closedFriday at the record low 69 cents perpound, unchanged on the week and 73cents below a year ago. Ten cars tradedhands this week at the CME.

■

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’slatest World Agricultural Supply andDemand Estimates report left the 2015milk production forecast unchangedfrom last month, but stated thatweaker milk prices in late 2015 and2016 will result in lower production for2016 than forecast last month.

Production and marketings for 2015were reported at 208.8 billion poundsand 207.8 billion pounds respectively,unchanged from last month’s report inproduction but down 100 millionpounds in marketings. If realized, 2015production would be up 2.8 billionpounds or 1.4 percent from 2014 andmarketings would be up 2.7 billionpounds or 1.3 percent.

Production and marketings for 2016were projected at 213.0 billion poundsand 212.1 billion pounds, down 600 mil-lion pounds and 500 million poundsrespectively from last month’s projection.If realized, 2016 production would be up4.2 billion pounds or 2.0 percent from2015. Milk marketings would be up 4.3billion pounds or 2.1 percent from 2015.

Exports were reduced as competitionin world markets is expected to berobust in both 2015 and 2016 and rela-tively strong domestic demand willlikely encourage increased imports.Stocks at the end of 2015 were forecasthigher than last month as a result ofincreased imports and reduced exports.Skim stocks for the end of 2016 werealso forecast higher than last month.

Larger domestic supplies as a result ofincreased imports and weaker exportsare expected to pressure 2015 productprices. Forecast prices for butter, cheese,nonfat dry milk and whey were lowered.Price forecasts for 2016 for cheese, whey,

and NDM were also reduced.Domestic demand and expectations

that milk will flow away from butterand NDM production in 2016, supportan increase in the butter price forecast.NDM prices are expected to be pres-sured by continued competition inglobal markets.

Class III and IV milk price forecastswere reduced for both 2015 and 2016.Look for the 2015 Class III to averagearound $15.95/cwt., down from the$16.30 projected a month ago and com-pares to $22.34 in 2014. The 2016 aver-age is put at around $15.95, down from$16.40 expected last month.

The 2015 Class IV average is pro-jected at $13.15, down from $13.90expected a month ago, and compares tothe 2014 average of $22.09. The 2016Class IV is expected to average around$14.05, down from $15.00 projectedlast month.

Meanwhile, there doesn’t appear tobe much “silver lining” in the “darkclouds” of global dairy product prices,based on USDA’s latest export data.Cheddar cheese exports were down55.3 percent from a year ago and totalcheese was down 22.3 percent. Butterexports were down 73.5 percent. Non-fat dry milk and skim milk powder wasdown 23.2 percent, whole milk powderwas down 43.5 percent, and dry wheywas down 12.9 percent

Dairy exports for 2015 started sur-prisingly well, but June exports fellbelow 2013 levels, the largest year toyear decline since October 2014,according to HighGround Dairy’s EricMeyer, but it was the fourth consecu-tive month with exports exceeding 100million pounds.

Meyer stated that, while he expectedsecond half export volumes for cheeseand NDM/SMP to begin a downwardtrend, “June volumes may be indicatingan early start to that decline. Both cat-egories broke down a bit from theirprevious year-to-date averages andhelp confirm the weakness in the U.S.and global markets. Is this a slight blipor a continuing trend?

“Given excess global milk supply, theanticipation of renewed cheese and SMPproduction in New Zealand this upcom-ing season and the spread between U.S.and Oceania prices, it is HighGround’sview that export volume losses will con-tinue to accelerate versus the prior yearand begin putting pressure on domesticprices in the coming months.”

MIELKE, from pg. 24To see more of Meyer’s analysis, write

him at [email protected].■

Adding to the bleak outlook, High-Ground Dairy’s Curtis Bosma writesin his latest Feed Market Update:“Over the last several months interna-tional dairy markets, particularly inNew Zealand, have been like a ‘fallingknife.’ Skim and whole milk powdersoffered at the Global Dairy Trade auc-tion have made fresh 13 year lows fortwo consecutive auctions. Using theFarmgate Milk Price Calculator fromour friends over at AgriHQ, the resultsfrom the most recent GDT auctionproduce a spot milk price of NZ$2.49kilogram per milk solid.

“After converting for componentsand the current exchange rate, this isequal to a U.S. All-Milk Price below$6.00/cwt. By no means do I believethat this is where U.S. milk prices are

headed, but it does tell us just howsevere the premium is that we holdover New Zealand.

“Dairy producers in the UnitedStates should take heed from theseevents because of the increasingreliance on exports as a source ofdemand. Since overseas products arenow so extremely discounted to theUnited States a loss of market share islikely for U.S. dairy exporters unlessprices drop quickly.

“Domestic dairy prices tend to lagbehind the international market byseveral months, but once recoverybegins internationally the UnitedStates could remain near the lows untilmarket share is recaptured. High-Ground believes that the dairy marketswill continue to feel some downwardpressure in the intermediate future.Seasonality could instigate somevolatility through the end of the year,but an overall price recovery may takelonger than most are expecting.”

There have been some interestingdevelopments regarding the GDT. LandO’Lakes, which joined the GDT lastMarch to sell skim milk powder, with-drew this week, though it wasn’t a bigplayer — and there have also beencalls on Fonterra to pull out of theGDT. Wednesday the New Zealand-based cooperative announced a signifi-cant drop in quantities that it will offerat the GDT in the next 12 months.

I asked Matt Gould, editor and ana-lyst for the “Dairy and Food MarketAnalyst” newsletter in Friday’s Dairy-Line, if this was the beginning of theend of the GDT.

Gould answered, “No,” pointing outthat the GDT was originally designedto be a “transparent pricing mechanismfor New Zealand dairy farmers” to“show what a ton of whole milk powderor skim milk powder is worth and thatgets passed to the dairy farmer.” Out-side of New Zealand, Gould said “It’san international price setting mecha-

nism, representative of the world’spricing, but that’s been called intoquestion,” he said, with Land O’Lakespulling out of the GDT this week, asdid European dairy co-op MolkereiAmmerland in April.

Gould emphasized how tough a year it’sbeen for New Zealand dairy producersand said the criticism of the GDT is“shooting the messenger” saying, “we don’tlike the market signal even if it’s true.”

Add to that, Fonterra’s latest forecastmilk price is well below New Zealand’scost of production. When asked whatthat means, Gould said that “a lot ofcows will be sent to slaughter insteadof through the milking parlor,” so milkoutput will fall and that pain is show-ing up in the rhetoric of calls for theend of the GDT, etc.

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

Take a wineglass. Hold it in your hand. Is itcool and smooth? It is hard. Is it clear orcolored? It is brittle. Put it on the table.

Does it float above the table on a delicate stem?What is this glass? What is this common but

beautiful thing? Where did it come from?“My glass is made from sand, soda ash, and

lime,” John Oleson says.Hand blown glass isn’t common. Oleson crafts

his at White Pine Studio near Clitherall in OtterTail County, Minn.

“The furnace has 60 pounds of molten glass at2,000 degrees,” he says, sticking his blow rod intothe inferno and rotating it. He does this twice.

Then he shapes the fiery ball on his stainlesssteel marver or palette, leans back, puts the longrod to his lips, and blows a fat bubble of glass.

“This will be the cup,” he says as he places hisglowing rod on his workbench and rolls it backand forth shaping it with steel tools and thickwet newspaper mitts. A pointed tool opens asmall round hole in the rotating glass bubble.Oleson enlarges that, forming the wineglassmouth.

“Glass is easiest to shape between 1,500 to1,800 degrees,” he says, putting the cup-to-beinto the glowing white eye of a small reheatingfurnace.

After shaping the cup, Oleson sets it aside, stillhot and attached to the blow rod. Using anotherrod he returns to the large furnace to gatherglass for the stem and base.

“The glass in the furnace is clear,” he says. “Iadd color after I take it out.”

Oleson turns the incandescent ball that willbecome the stem on a tiny pile of fine brokenglass called frit. Some of the orange frit meltsinto the soft glass.

He heats and reheats the stem glass as heelongates and shapes it like he is making taffycandy. Swirls of orange appear inside the spiralstem that is forming. Then, in a series of smoothquick movements, he joins stem to cup. Now, sep-arating the completed wineglass from the rod, heplaces it in another furnace to cool slowlyovernight.

“Each piece of hand blown glass, even if it’spart of a set, is unique,” he said.

Oleson welcomes visitors to his studio duringthe summer and fall. You can call him at (218)405-0234 or visit www.whitepinestudio.com. ❖
