Sometimes buildingnew just won’t do.

Story on Page 14

For some reason, one of usasked how to apologize inGerman. What followed wasa solid five minutes of sevenMinnesotans attempting topronounce the wordentschuldigung.

Repeatedly. Loudly. In arestaurant in Switzerland.

Surrounded by fellowlunchtime patrons, localswho likely decided thisgroup of tourists con-stantly begging each oth-ers’ pardon had sufferedsome sort of concussion enmasse earlier in the day, perhaps over breakfast.

If our three wonderful Swiss hosts were embarrassedby any “ugly American” idiocy displayed over thecourse of our two-week family vacation, they were kindenough not to say anything. Not in English, anyway.

In fact, before I go any further, I must note that ourhosts — Monika, Marcel, and their daughter Marina— were kind, generous and patient beyond measure.(Marina was an exchange student with my in-lawstwo years ago, in case you’re wondering about ourconnection to these lovely folks.)

They opened their home in the beautiful northernvillage of Uhwiesen to us for the opening and closingdays of our trip, and often traveled with us during thedays in between, acting as our personal tour guides.Their efforts as translators, transit schedule deci-pherers, hotel and event reservers, luggage coordina-tors and cultural senseis were invaluable. Monika,Marcel and Marina could have used their vacationtime to do anything, and they spent it with us.

Without them, who knows what we might havebeen saying to each other at lunch.

My Top 10 Observations about Switzerland1. You think we’ve got cultural clashes in the

United States? Do you gripe about how Americansshould speak English when you see an advertise-ment in Spanish? I tell you what: we’ve got nothingon Switzerland.

Swiss German is the most widely spoken languagethere. It’s a slightly modified dialect of what their neigh-bors speak across their northern border, up in Deutsch-

LAND MINDS, from pg. 2land. English is evenwidely understood, theprice many Europeanspay to be part of the internationalbusiness community.

But if you want to make sure yourwaiter gets your order right in thesunny southeastern state of Ticino,you’d better know Italian. And if youplan to successfully navigate theshops along Lake Geneva, you may beout of luck without a French-to-Eng-lish dictionary handy.

Far from being a melting pot,Switzerland feels more like threeentirely different countries allsmushed together. The Swiss Confed-eration traces it origin to Aug. 1, 1291as a small collection of states lookingto trade freely and consolidatedefenses. It continued to grow overthe years to its current 26 states, thelast few jumping ship from France inthe 19th century.

The Swiss seem united as a countrynot so much culturally, but ratherpolitically — both internally, withtheir direct democracy, and exter-nally, with their famed independence.

2. Speaking of melting pots, fondueis amazing.

3. More broadly, anything withcheese is amazing and nearly everytraditional meal in Switzerlandinvolves large amounts of it. Theyhave all four major food groups well-

covered: cheese with bread, cheesewith meat, cheese withpotatoes, and cheese withwine.

4. I’m much more of a beer guy thana wine guy. Considering our proximityto Germany, I expected to find a greatselection of brews wherever we went.Interestingly, most restaurant menuslisted just two options: one alcoholicbeer, and one non-alcoholic.

The wine lists, by contrast, werequite extensive. I cannot comment onany vintage’s flavor, or body, or sugarcontent, or je ne sais quoi because Inever sampled any, but I’m told that ifyou want to drink Swiss wine youpretty much need to travel there. Theymake a lot of wine, and they drink alot of wine — exports are rare.

5. Continuing with the food-and-drink theme, twice during our trip Iordered what I would consider to beAmerican cuisine. The first was anerdbeere (strawberry) milkshake inZurich, advertised as “American-style.”It was quite tasty, but of a very runnyconsistency that I’d never experiencedanywhere in this country before.

The second was a hamburger andpomme frites (french fries) in Lau-sanne. This was definitely not some-thing you’re going to find at any U.S.fast food joint. The patty was massiveand perfectly cooked, and instead oflettuce and tomatoes was topped with

Service Agency Executive Director, Debra Crusoe,announced Aug. 11 that Conservation Reserve Pro-gram acres in seven Minnesota counties have beenauthorized for emergency haying and grazing use dueto excessive precipitation that has caused a severeshortage of available forage for livestock producers.

“Additional grazingacres and forage willnow be available tohelp livestock produc-ers recover from thesevere shortage of for-age, particularly insouth-central Min-nesota,” said Crusoe.“This is good news forlivestock producers inthe region, and comesat a very critical timewhen many livestockproducers are facingthe decision of whetheror not to liquidate theirherds.”

Minnesota countiesapproved for CRP emer-gency haying and grazing include: Carver, Kittson, LeSueur, McLeod, Rock, Roseau and Sibley. These coun-ties experienced a 140 percent or greater average pre-cipitation from March through mid-July of 2014 andsustained a 40 percent or greater loss of available feedas a result of the substantial precipitation.

Emergency haying and grazing of CRP may only beconducted on specific, eligible conservation practicesand is limited to 50 percent of the field for haying or75 percent of the field for grazing.

To initiate emergency haying and grazing, produc-ers must contact their local FSA office to apply beforeany haying or grazing begins and producers mustsign a modified conservation plan with the NaturalResources Conservation Service to allow for hayingand grazing practices. Fields having or located nearenvironmentally sensitive areas may have additionalrestrictions placed on haying and grazing activities.Haying or grazing is not allowed within 120 feet of astream or other permanent water body or on acresdevoted to trees.

Emergency haying ends Aug. 31, 2014 and the balesmust be removed from CRP acres by Sept. 15, 2014.Emergency grazing ends Sept. 30, 2014. In additionto emergency CRP haying and grazing authorization,Crusoe reports that Rock County in Minnesotarecently received a Secretarial Disaster Declarationfor heavy precipitation, flooding, and hail. Contigu-ous counties include Murray, Pipestone, and Nobles.Producers in these four designated counties are noweligible to apply for FSA’s emergency loans.

For more information, contact the Minnesota FSAState Office at (651) 602-7712.

LAND MINDS, from pg. 4zucchini, eggplant and an exotic mys-tery sauce. One dainty dish held twothick-cut slices of bacon as an optionaltopping; another contained a sidesalad and cherry tomato. The frieswere tiny matchsticks with plain, old-fashioned ketchup on the side. Sur-prisingly, the one thing missing fromthe burger? Cheese.

6. If you’re travelling to Switzerland,either pack plenty of clothes, bringtiny packets of laundry soap, or saveup plenty of Swiss francs for expen-sive hotel laundry service because onething you’ll be hard-pressed to find is a laun-dromat. You’re also notgoing to find a washclothin any hotel, so pack your own.

7. Get a pass and take the train.Sure, driving is fun and you’re in con-trol, and you get to leave whenever youwant, and can go anywhere you want,but you’ll probably go bonkers doing it.City streets are narrow, winding, andfilled with people, buses, livestock.Mountain roads are endless series ofhairpin turns without guardrailsbetween you and thousand-foot drops.

Mass transit in Switzerland is spec-

tacular. Trains connectpractically every city in

the country on preciseschedules, with clean cars and quiet,smooth rides. Bright yellow Post Buseswill take you all throughout the largecities, and high into remote villages.Ferry boats cross the glassy lengths ofmany large lakes. Scenic trains skirtaround and tunnel through toweringmountains and idyllic valleys.

8. The cultural variety of Switzerlandmakes you feel sometimes as if you’rein an entirely different country. Thegeo-political variety of Switzerlandmakes you sometimes actually be in a

different country, when simply travel-ling from one city or village to another.For instance, on a rail trip taking usfrom Zermatt to Locarno, our train hada stop in Domodossola, Italy.

Driving around the countryside nearthe northern city of Schaffhausen,which borders the Rhein River, wepassed in and out of Germany severaltimes without needing to show a singlepassport. In fact, the nearby Germantown of Büsingen, pop. 1,450, is onthree square miles of land entirely sur-rounded by Switzerland. Technicallythe residents’ legal tender is the Euro,but everyone uses Swiss francs. Theirlocal football (a.k.a. soccer) team playsin the Swiss Football League.

9. Americans always try to put on agood fireworks demonstration for ourFourth of July celebrations, but I’ve got totell you... I’ve never seen a national cele-bratory fireworks show like I did in thecommunity of Zermatt, Switzerland — atthe foot of the Matterhorn — on Aug. 1.They didn’t simply fire a bunch of brightand noisy rockets into the sky. No, theypresented multiple courses on a series ofexplosive themes. Absolutely stunningstuff. Words cannot adequately describe,so I’ll stop, other than to say that as anation they’ve got about a 500-year head-start on the United States, so maybe Ishouldn’t try to make comparisons.

10. Finally, a quick note about Swissagriculture. What most caught my eyewas the myriad of small plots, jumbledtogether and almost integrated withthe many small villages. The moun-tainous terrain is such that the thou-sand-acre fields we’ve grown accus-tomed to seeing in Minnesota and Iowasimply aren’t possible.

So instead you’ll see a few acres ofwheat, next to a few acres of alfalfa,next to a few acres of sugar beets, nextto a few acres of grapes, next to a fewacres of apples ... on every hillside andvalley, all butted up against pastures

full of bell-ringing dairy cows, snakingstreams, thick forests, and cobblestone-street villages.

It’s “old-fashioned,” it’s sustainable,it’s stunningly gorgeous... and, on thesurface anyway, it makes the modernagricultural progressiveness we seeoutside our windows every day seem abit ugly, to be honest.

■

One of my first acts as the new man-aging editor of The Land was to disap-pear for two weeks on this Switzerlandadventure and dump all of my dutiesand responsibilities upon the shouldersof others, offering them no way to con-tact me by phone nor e-mail. So a fewnotes of appreciation are in order.

Kristin Kveno happily agreed to returnto The Land during our current editorialstaff transition, perhaps without fullyconsidering what would be thrown herway while I was overseas. She put in aton of hours to get the paper out, and Ithank her for her dedication.

Helping her out were Sarah Johnson(of “Cookbook Corner” fame) and FreePress copy editor Josie Belina. Manythanks to them as well for coming tothe aid of this fine publication.

And of course, the entire Land staffalways comes together, particularlyduring “crunch times” such the busyFarmfest season, to back each other up.When there are fewer hands available,the hands we have always manage towork a little harder for our readers andadvertisers.

Next year I’ll be sure not to schedulevacation for early August. I’m notentirely sure whether anyone reallymissed having me around, but if Imade things at all challenging for TheLand family the past few weeks, all Ican say is… entschuldigung.

OPINION

When 800 million of anything moves in thesame direction at the same time, the worldchanges.

In mid-May the 800 million voters in theworld’s largest democracy, India, rejected thelong-in-power Congress Party for the BJP, theBharatya Janata Party, led by Narendra Modi,described by the Indian press as a “business-friendly” job creator.

The crushing loss for Congress — it wonfewer than 50 of Parliament’s 545 seats — wasa wholesale rejection of the welfare state phi-losophy of Nehru and his political heirs, theGandhi family.

BJP’s victory, on the other hand, was hailedboth nationally and internationally as anevent “that will change the country 100 percent,” andModi was seen as someone who will bring “foreigncompanies to India” so “everyone will have jobs.”Links to source material are posted at http://farmandfoodfile.com/in-the-news/.

But nothing is simple in India, a nation of deepcomplexities and clear contrasts. India is home toboth 200 million ragged, starving people and the TajMahal; where high tech factories are ringed by hand-planted fields tended by women; a nation of 15,000villages and cities and not one with reliable, safewater 24/7.

After the election, it didn’t take long before thisnative duality ran smack into the pro-business pre-dictions about Modi and the BJP. On July 31, India,despite heavy pressure from the United States,declined to ratify a worldwide customs deal needed,explained the World Trade Organization, to “stream-

line global trading.”That failure stopped the sluggish

WTO Doha Round of trade talksbecause the customs deal neededeach of the WTO’s 160 members’consent to keep the overall talksmoving.

Modi’s anti-trade action was bignews and a big shocker (even theformer, deposed government was infavor of the customs deal) to everyWTO player, especially the UnitedStates. No one saw it coming. Given

the WTO’s sketchy history of suc-cess, they probably should have.

India, explained Modi, rejected thecustoms agreement because the WTO has yet toaddress the nation’s concerns over required cuts toits domestic food programs that supply heavily sub-sidized food to the nation’s poor.

Specifically, the Indian government buys agricul-tural goods, mostly wheat and rice, from its hun-dreds of millions of subsistence farmers at higher-than-market prices to resell to its hundreds ofmillions poor at reduced prices. The program helpsboth India’s poor farmers and its hungry poor.

Humanitarian as the program appears, it’swrapped in a blanket of domestic politics. Presently,New Delhi concedes, government rice and wheatstocks top 61 million metric tons. (If converted intowheat alone, 61MMT is nearly 2.25 billion bushels,larger than the entire 2014 American wheat crop.)

India also concedes that adequate stocks for thenationwide food program are about 27 MMT, or less

than one-half of current stocks.The massive stockpile bends WTO rules two ways.

While any amount of stocks are permitted, thosestocks must be bought at market prices and, whendistributed, all must be sold at market prices. Indiadoes neither.

Worse, at least to the WTO’s biggest ag exporters,the European Union and the United States., no onesees how India can drain its vast stocks withoutexport subsidies that will drain today’s alreadycheap global grain prices even more.

That means today’s trade talkers again are debat-ing on how nations view their right to produce, pro-mote and protect their citizens’ access to food. This,of course, is not the first time Doha is stuck in thefarm mud nor will it be last time.

But it may be high time the WTO moves awayfrom its one-size-fits-all idea of global food produc-tion and ag trade to allow regional deals to be nego-tiated among willing partners.

After all, how does one global organization tell anyduly-elected national leader — in this instance, theleader of the nation that is home to one-third of theworld’s poorest — how and what the leader can doto feed the sovereign people?

Elegance and beauty arehallmarks of Iris. I callthem our Midwest orchids.In Greek mythology, Iriswas a personification of arainbow and associatedwith a goddess. The iris ofthe eye is so namedbecause of the many colorsreflected in the rainbow.The word iridescence isderived from iris and it

seems every gardener has orwants to have this peren-nial. Despite its divine ori-gins, it’s hardy, reliable andeasy to grow.

Most iris flower in earlysummer and some newervarieties of bearded hybridsare remontant, which meansthey flower again later inthe summer. The creepingrhizomes are thickened

stems from which theroots grow. The rhi-zomes like to have abit of exposure to thesun so plant them withtheir tops just underthe soil and they willbe happy.

Iris care:• Divide every three

or four years andreplant single rhi-zomes discarding anythat are diseased orshow root rot symp-toms.

• Cut the floweringstalk off after it hasbloomed. Cut the leaves off to a fewinches from the ground when dividinginto new clumps.

• Avoid high nitrogen fertilizerswhich produce quick, soft growth thatinvites disease.

• Bonemeal is a good fertilizer to use.• August is a good time to plant new

iris and divide and replant existingclumps. Group three rhizomes of onevariety in a planting.

I’ve had many gardeners tell me theiriris change colors after a few years. Ican say that the experts (those whoknow all about iris because they havegrown and experimented with themover a long period of time) claim this isimpossible.

A division of blue iris rhizome will

produce a blue flowerand so on with white,purple and other colors.What happens when aborder of iris is plantedto equal numbers of yel-low, white and blue Irisand in a few years theborder is mostly white?The white variety wasmore prolific and simplycrowded out the othervarieties.

Iris rhizomes alwaysproduce true to color, butseedling iris do not. Ifseed pods are allowed toform and ripen,seedlings may spring up

in the bed causing a color change.Another common question about iris

culture is, “Should I cut the leaves backwithin a few inches of the ground afterthe plants have finished blooming?” Ihave done this and the plants quicklysent up new foliage. Some iris growers,however, discourage that practice. Theybelieve it only forces the rhizome towork harder to replace the lost foliage.

The iris pictured above is a beardedGerman variety called “Stepping Out.”In addition to the lovely blue and whiteblossom it has great spikey leaves thatmake an interesting contrast withother plants.

Checking out of a motel inLemmon, S.D. that opened in2008, I commented to thewoman who was assisting methat they had a lovely lodge.She thanked me and hintedthat some are skeptical. Shesaid, “We once had a womancall from New York whoasked if we had any roomswithout dirt floors.” It waslaughable to her co-workerswho started joking that thestagecoach only comesthrough once a day, too.

Funny how we can have such precon-ceived notions about one another. NewYorkers would probably be shocked tolearn that most farmers have enclosedtractor cabs, regularly visit the dentist,and some have even traded in their bibsfor Bermuda shorts when the weathergets hot. And to be fair, there are proba-bly a great number of Midwesternerswho think the all New York women aresnobs who are afraid to break a nail.

Holley Gerth writes, “It’sso easy to smack a label onwhat we don’t understand.So convenient to believe theassumptions because it’s alot less work than love.”

The most damaging labelsmacking and name-callingmay not be what we call oneanother, but what we nameourselves. How many nameshave we received from child-hood and beyond that we’vesuper-glued to our souls?

Names like fat, loser, ugly, worthless,nobody, stupid, no good, won’t amountto anything, and _________________(you fill in the blank).

The “sticks and stones may hurt mybones, but names will never hurt me”spew is a myth. It may roll off thetongue on the school playground, butyou’d be hard pressed to find an adult ofany age who doesn’t walk into a classreunion and have a memory or two of

hurts come to surfacefrom the one who intoday’s culture would bedeemed the school bully.

What do you do with thedamaging names you’vebeen called and thedestructive names you’vecalled yourself? You can doone of two things. You cankeep clinging to the cruelnames and stay stuck inthe hurt and lies, or you can do what Alli-son Allen calls, “The Great Exchange.” Ata recent women’s conference she encour-aged attendees to “Spit the poison out ofthe names we’ve called ourselves andwhat others have called us. Do the greatexchange.” Evict the lies and live out thetruth of who you are in Christ.

Middle-daughter Stephanie createsbeautiful shadowboxes that she’s giftedat graduations and weddings to remindpeople who they are. Using their first orlast names, she prints and crafts a sheetthat contains Bible verses that speak ofour identity in Jesus. Each letter of thegiven name has a corresponding versethat begins with that same letter. For

example: Katecould be spelled outlike this:

K: Knittedtogether by God(Psalm 139:13)

A: A new workhas begun in me(Philippians 1:6)

T: Temple of God.His Spirit dwells

in me (1 Corinthians 3:16)E: Equipped by God to do His will

(Hebrews 13:21)Even for the craftiest in the midst,

that’s easier to put on paper than toput into practice.

If you’ve been a negative name caller ofyourself or others, it’s time to call it quits.Be done. Your worth is not measured bywhat you know, whom you know, whatyou have accomplished, or how othersperceive you. God made you and lovesyou and that is more than enough.

Warm, spiced nuts are one of life’s greatest pleas-ures. Do yourself a “flavor” and make some. Thisrecipe uses almonds, but other nuts (such as cashews,walnuts or pecans) would be delectable as well.Spicy AlmondsSubmitted by Miranda Sieh

I needed to pull together a quick take-and-bake sup-per last weekend so this recipe for Simple SausageLasagna was a godsend. Without the need to boil thenoodles, the prep time and effort were considerablydiminished. I used the last of the homemadespaghetti sauce we froze last summer, but a goodquality store-bought sauce works fine, too. Thislasagna was a little on the bland side, but still ratedfour out of four stars from the Johnson clan.Simple Sausage LasagnaSubmitted by Jeanne Schumann

Old barns dot the countryside witha derelict splendor that cannot beequaled by contemporary farm build-ings. Many we have watched throughthe years as they slowly collapsed.

Barn Doctors, Inc. of Fulda, Minn.,

is in the business of seeing that oldbarns don’t disappear and returningthem to their original splendor.

“It’s all I’ve ever done,” said Aaron Bar-ritt of his work in restoring buildings.

He purchased the business from hisparents 10 years ago. While he does

repair pole sheds and can work onother buildings, the business is calledBarn Doctors because 85 percent of hiswork is restoring barns.

“We don’t build any new,” he said,though when he is done some barnsare basically new buildings built onthe original frame, and even some ofthat may have been replaced.

Barritt and his crews cover all ofMinnesota, North Dakota, SouthDakota, part of Wisconsin and “a lot ofIowa.” He is often working in Iowabecause the Iowa Barn Foundation hasa grant program that will pay a por-tion of the cost when certain criteriaare met. He worked on a couple inSouth Dakota that the state historicalsociety helped pay for.

In Minnesota, you have to be willingto invest your own money.

“It’s amazing the young people thatwant to save them anymore, people intheir 30s,” he said. “I’m bidding one nowfor a young woman who is going to makeit into a place for weddings and stuff.”

Occasionally Barritt works on a barnthat still has an agricultural use, butnot often.

“People’s reasons for fixing them upare all different,” he said. “A lot of it isthe family had the farm, granddadbuilt the barn, some sentimental rea-son. We did one over by Dell Rapids,S.D. where the man was just buyingthe place and was going to build a newhouse, but he wanted to keep the lookof the barn on the place.”

He has restored barns to be used asgathering places, a woodworking shopand a basketball court.

A complete restoration usually starts

with jacking up the building and put-ting in a new foundation, he said,unless the building is leaning so muchit must first be straightened. Once it isstable, they work their way up withnew siding, windows, doors and newroof. One they had to replace the wholehayloft with new beams and floors.

While Barn Doctors can fix mostanything, occasionally Barritt deter-mines it is just not worth it.

“I have one right now, I hate to callthe owner and tell her there’s no wayyou can fix this. It would be easier totear it down and build an identical one.”

Rot is usually the culprit that makes abarn not worth restoring. Just about anyother condition Barritt can deal with.

He can also restore it to its originallook. Gary and Marj Becker of Mar-shall praised Barritt’s ability to matchoriginal siding and hardware. He willbuild doors and exterior features tomatch the original.

Friends of Minnesota Barns is anorganization that encourages restorationand assists with information, and theygive out Barn of the Year awards. In2009, two barns that Barritt had restoredreceived Barn of the Year and runner-upin the Non-Farm Use Category.

When asked if there is a sense of satis-faction in seeing a dilapidated barnrestored to new condition, Barrittanswers with a simple,“Yup.” But you cantell its pride like that of a parent whosechild has grown to be a successful adult.

Barritt’s crew once went way out ofits territory to Cape Girardeau, Mo. Anelderly man, who got Barritt’s namefrom the Iowa Barn Foundation, calledand begged him to come down andrepair a barn built in 1850 off of whichthe wind had ripped the roof.

“We completely redid the barn,” Bar-ritt said.

He went the extra mile and gotcypress siding from Kentucky, andeven built a cupola.

“He couldn’t believe it was his barn,”Barritt said. “He had tears in his eyes.”

Barn Doctors does not need to go thatfar for work, at least not anytime soon.Barritt is running three crews thissummer, and still won’t get caught up.

“I’ve probably got 75 barns to doright now,” he said.

By RICHARD SIEMERSThe Land Correspondent

Gary and Marj Becker had their eyeon four acres of land in the middle ofMarshall. It was what remained ofthe Neuse farm.

Mr. and Mrs. Neuse sold the landaround them for development, but con-tinued to live on the building site, whichhad a block chicken house and a woodenbarn along with the house. Even afterher husband’s death, Mrs. Neuse contin-ued to make it her home until shemoved to be closer to family in 2003.

When it came up for sale, the Beck-ers purchased it.

“And then we said, Now what are wegoing to do?” said Marj Becker.

They had not intended to live there,but subdividing it into lots did notseem to work.

“It took on a life of its own when wesaw the barn,” she said, “and Garyneeded a shop.”

The Beckers owned Becker Iron andMetal and were anticipating retirement.Gary was doing woodworking in a smallworkshop in a one-car garage, rathercramped for building cabinets and furni-ture and the things he liked to do.

One thought led to another with theresult that they sold the Neuse houseand had it moved off, built a new house,turned the chicken house into a pottingshed, and went to work on the barn.

“There are four acres, so we thoughtleaving the barn wouldn’t be a prob-lem,” Marj said.

Many of the homeowners around

their property are retired farmers, sothey were happy to see the barn stay,according to Gary.

“I knew what the purpose was goingto be, so we set it up with that purposein mind,” Gary said.

That purpose was to make it his wood-working shop. What they didn’t knowwas what a great challenge it would be.

“When the cows walked out for thelast time, the Neuse family just shutthe doors,” Marj said. “There was stillhay in the hayloft.”

Unused, the building began to deteri-orate. It sat on an old stone founda-tion. The roof of the lean-to had fallenin and a tree was growing up inside.

They hired Aaron Barritt of BarnDoctors, Inc. to do the restoration. The

idea was to save as much of the oldbuilding as possible, which did notturn out to be much.

“The entire barn was actuallyrebuilt,” Gary said. “It has new sidingall the way around.”

Barritt’s crew startedin November of 2004,and fortunately it wasan open winter. Theyjacked up the barn,took out the stones andboulders, and replacedthem with a concretefoundation. The exte-rior was returned to itsoriginal look, with newsiding, a restored (butinoperable) loft door, andother doors built to copythe originals. Barrittalso found matches forthe original hardware.

The Beckers made oneexception to the origi-nal. They put on a metalroof because they didnot want to be reroofing.

The interior was redonewith an office, and anexpansive shop whereGary has plenty of roomto work. He even usedwood from the old stan-chions and beams to makea table for the house. Therebuilt lean-to houses his lumber.

In 2009, Friends of Minnesota Barns,an organization that encourages barnpreservation, chose the Beckers’ barnas Runner-Up for Barn of the Year inthe Non-Farm Use Category.

It was the barn that brought the

Beckers to this property that they hadnot intended to live on.

“We like what we got,” Gary added.The same year that the Becker barn was

named Runner-Up by Friends of Min-nesota Barns, theorganization awardedits top recognition to thebarn on the acreage ofDave and MarlyceLogan. Sitting on a hillback from Highway 75north of Pipestone, the“barn with the star” isan area landmark. DaveLogan has heard people

use it in giving directions.The Logans took pos-

session of the propertyin January 2008. Thebarn became their firstmajor project. Davesaid the previous own-ers had used the barnas a garage. They hadinstalled two whitefiberglass overheadgarage doors to replacethe barn doors. Thebuilding was coveredwith metal siding andhad asphalt shingles.

“We decided we weregoing to restore it (to itsoriginal look),” Davesaid.

He hired Barn Doctors to do thework. When they took off the metal,the wooden siding underneath was rot-ting and the restoration became amajor project. After some straighten-ing, the barn received all new siding,windows and wooden barn shingles.

Gary Becker of Marshall, Minn., just wanted a woodworking shop; he ended up with a beautifully restored barn.

Gary Becker Marj Becker

The interiorwas redone asan office, andan expansiveshop whereGary hasplenty of roomto work. Heeven usedwood from theold stanchionsand beams tomake a tablefor the house.

See BARN AGAIN, pg. 15

BARN AGAIN, from pg. 14The garage doors were replacedwith sliding barn doors. The cupo-las were in good shape and justneeded repainting.

“The only thing that’s not authen-tic is the wood windows werereplaced with vinyl clad windows,”Dave said.

They also added three exterior doors into the horsebays. Other than that, the barn looks as it did afterbeing rebuilt following a fire in 1931. Newspaperphotos provided the needed information.

The interior is open for storage. The horse bays arestill there, but the stanchions and other interior fea-tures had been removed years before. The lean-tostill is used as shelter for two horses.

The story that Logan has heard about the bigwhite star is that the owner who built the barn hadsome relationship with North Star Insurance, so hehad it painted there.

Since there is no financial assistance for barnrestoration in Minnesota, one needs to be willing andable to make a substantial financial investment. Andit’s not just the initial investment.

“You have to be willing to keep it in nice shape ifyou invest that much money,” Dave said.

He has already had Barritt back once, to do somestraightening after the July 2011 storm shifted thebuilding, and the south and west side should proba-bly be painted again, he said.

The 2011 storm also knocked down many trees, so

in a way it is easier to see the “star barn” from thehighway. It does attract attention. The Logans havebeen surprised to find a photo of their barn enteredin a county fair, and he once saw it in the King of

While many barns are disappearingfrom the countryside, these two cou-ples, with the help of Barn Doctors,Inc., have been willing and able toinvest the money to restore two his-toric structures, the Logan barn built

in 1931, and the Becker barn built inthe early 1900s.

Beckers could have just as easily putup a new building for Gary’s wood-working shop, but they knew it would-n’t be the same.

The ThronsonsGary, Minn.

Jared Thronson’sfirst winter wheatharvest is officially inthe books. When TheLand spoke withThronson Aug. 7 hereported that “thecombine and every-thing went good.”

His 60 acres took two days to combineand averaged 45 bushels per acre, with 14percent moisture and 11.5 percent pro-tein.Thronson was happy with the resultsas it was “on ground that just got out ofCRP (Conservation Reserve Program).”

On Aug. 3 he was spraying soybeansdue to some weeds coming back, andalso sprayed one field for soybeanaphids. Overall, he said, the beans look“pretty good,” but the field on sandyground was “getting on the dry side.”

A 50 percent chance of precipitationwas forecasted for Sunday, and Thron-son hoped it truly was coming. “Wecould use a good half inch of rain.”

Corn has “all been tasseled out for atleast a week,” he said. “It’s comingalong pretty good.” Meanwhile, thespring wheat “is starting to lighten upand turn.” Thronson estimated that hewas at least a week and a half to twoweeks from spraying Roundup on it.

He will continue to work on machin-ery and do some ditching in the winterwheat field; he had already chiselplowed that field.

Thronson is getting ready to spend a little“down time”in Detroit Lakes,Minn.,takingin the experience known as WE Fest. It’snot all work and no play for Thronson —after a successful winter wheat harvestthere’s cause for celebration.

The WiltsesHerman, Minn.

Dennis Wilts justgot back from a tripthat showed him howdifferent farmingpractices can be, evenwithin the UnitedStates. When TheLand spoke with Wiltson Aug. 11, he reflected on his recenttrip to the Willamette Valley in Oregon.

The experience was possible due tohis farm being named American Crys-tal Hybrids’ “highest recoverable sugar

per acre (in the district),” Wilts said.He and his brother Duane touredfarms that were as big as 4,000 acreswith 20 different crops grown eachyear, and farms that planted 25 acresof sugar beets. They also got to tour theAmerican Crystal Hybrids seed pro-cessing facility. Wilts called his time inOregon “good, very good.”

He returned home on Aug. 9, just intime for three-fourths to one and aquarter inches of precipitation at thefarm. “It was perfect rain,” Wilts said.“We were dry but the rain helped.”

Cooler temperatures have beenadvantageous — it’s “cool enough thatwe haven’t had to spray fungicide onour sugar beets.” Wilts usually spraysthe first round of fungicide on the sugarbeets in mid to late July. Lower tempsare keeping the fungus as bay for now.

Wilts said he “tried to combine wheattoday but it was too wet,” and hoped togive it another try in a few days. Nor-mally he is finished with the wheatharvest by now but this year’s late, wetstart delayed everything.

Aphids haven’t been a problem sofar, but Wilts plans on keeping an eyeon the fields and is ready to sprayshould the need arise.

Meanwhile, he’s ready for a little fish-ing adventure with friends; they’ll be“going to Canada on a fly-in fishing tripto fish for a week.” They had “supergood luck last year,” Wilts said, and he’shoping that continues again this time.

Good fishing, good travels, and hope-fully a good crop come harvest. “Every-thing is looking, pretty good,” he said.

The HoffmansNew Ulm, Minn.

Another Farmfesthas come and goneand Don Hoffmanwas there to take inthe sights and soundsof it all. The Landspoke with Hoffmanon Aug. 8; he reportedthat ag show’s 2014 edition had a“pretty average crowd, I thought.”

The weather was ideal for wanderingFarmfest’s grounds on Aug. 6 whenHoffman attended, though he sort ofwished it hadn’t been — some rainthat day, or any day for that matter,would have been a welcomed sight.“We are very much praying for rain,”he said.

As for the crops, “the sand spots arejunk now,” said Hoffman, “but the restpretty much looks OK.”

Hoffman grows full-season silagecorn and it’s currently “putting ears onand pollinating.” He plants between108- and 111-day corn, and this year’scrop is behind schedule. “I wouldn’twant to combine this corn,” he said.Instead, it “heads for the chopper,period.” Hoffman usually chops aroundlate August into early September; thisyear he predicted he wouldn’t be chop-ping until at least Sept. 15.

The soybeans, meanwhile, are “veryaverage,” Hoffman said, with “somereally good spots in the field and verybad spots in the field.” He was able toplant the beans on time and is happythat “the stand is very good.” He hadn’t

had the opportunity to go out andcheck for aphids in his beans recentlybut would do so soon.

On Aug. 8 Hoffman and his wife,Diane, were heading to the BrownCounty Fair in New Ulm to work atthe dairy booth. Making malts whileraising money for the local dairyorganization is something he looksforward to every year.

From Farmfest to the county fairand everything in between, August isa busy month for Hoffman. But a littlemoisture certainly wouldn’t rain onhis parade.

The HagensLake Mills, Iowa

If you weren’t atHagen farm Aug. 2you missed one heckof a party.

Jim Hagen and hisbride, Christy, cele-brated their wed-ding with a reception at the farm with150 of their closest family and friends.When The Land spoke with HagenAug. 7 he was happy to report that itdefinitely was a good party and thatthe “weather was perfect.”

Hagen had his soybean field aerialsprayed by Tim Steier on July 31 foraphids, which helped ensure that thebugs stayed away from the reception.“Sprayed all beans for aphids andfungicide,” he said.

The beans look “real good,” he said,and are still flowering and podding.Their farm “got a quarter to an inchlast week. ... If we got some more rainit will be good.”

The corn, too, could use some rain,Hagen said, although it has “all polli-nated real well — to the tip of the ear.”

Hagen and his wife decided to takein a Minnesota Vikings preseasongame Aug. 8 at TCF Bank Stadium inMinneapolis and will be heading tothe Iowa State Fair to take that in aswell. And if all of that wasn’t enoughexcitement, he said that “a new com-bine showed up (for the farm).” Funoutings and new farm toys all makefor a good time.

Hagen said the crops are “90 per-cent good to excellent, but we needmore rain.” He recalled that “1988was our last real drought,” a yearthat, for farming purposes, he doesnot care to repeat. ❖

As Feeder Council chairman ofthe Minnesota State Cattlemen’sAssociation, Mike Landuyt ofrural Walnut Grove has a keeneye for beef research projectsfunded by the Cattlemen at theUniversity of Minnesota.

“We offer opinions and guid-ance on new research. It’s part of theteamwork that is so important inbuilding a better beef industry,” he saidin a brief interview at the July 8 Sum-mer Tour of which Landuyt Land &Livestock was one of the stops.

Mike and his family are now the thirdgeneration at this location. He, wifeKari and parents George and Kris Lan-duyt own and operate the livestock andcrop farm. With a capacity of 700 head,the goal is to sell 1,400 each year,mostly black hided animals.

“The packer we sell to most oftenbuys only black cattle and pay’s a pre-mium. Our operation consists of a hoopbarn and a mono-slope barn with aworking system and a manure bay,”Landuyt said.

After graduating from South DakotaState University where he took severalbeef production classes, Landuyt’sambition was to get the farm back intothe cattle business. “Our farm hadn’traised cattle for almost 40 years so

when we started again, we usedanything of value we could getfrom people who had gotten outof the business, including rent-ing empty feed yards.”

In 2009 the Landuyts builttheir first confinement barn. In2011 a second confinementbarn was erected and now alltheir cattle operation was on

the home farm.The black animals are his first expe-

rience so he’s hesitant to compare hidecolors in terms of production efficiency.“My goal of course is that these ani-mals will put more money into thebank but time will tell.”

Like all cattlemen he’s concerned aboutcurrent trends in the beef business boththe buying of feeders and the selling offinishers. And he wonders at what pointconsumer reaction starts kicking in. “I’vebeen thinking it would be slowing downfor eight months now,” he said but he sug-gested much like $8 corn, this beef pricehas a limit. “The worst thing we couldhave happen is people getting used to eat-ing something else because they can’tafford beef anymore,” Landuyt said.

Like most cattle feeders, the Landuytoperation grows enough feed and for-age so their only purchases are somehay and distillers byproduct from theHighwater ethanol plant at Lambertononly 12 miles away. ❖

WORTHINGTON, Minn. — Thefederal government predicts Min-nesota farmers will produce 1.34 bil-lion bushels of corn this year, up 40million bushels from last year, yet badweather early in the season and lowprices will put the squeeze on profitsfor the state’s producers.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’soutlook for Minnesota also predictscorn yields averaging 168 bushels peracre, up eight bushels from 2013. Butthat’s 20 bushels less than what Iowaand Illinois producers are expected toharvest. Minnesota soybean productionis forecast at 312 million bushels, up 15percent from last year. The average soy-bean yield is expected to be 42 bushelsper acre, one bushel more than 2013.

The data was part of a national fore-

cast released Aug. 12 for a record-breaking corn harvest of 14 billionbushels. The USDA also said soybeanproduction nationwide also will set anew record of 3.8 billion bushels.

But up to a foot of rain fell in partsMinnesota in June, drowning out partsof a crop that got planted late in manyareas. Add in some hail damage, andthe weather hurt Minnesota corn justenough to turn a potential record har-vest into an average or a little-above-average crop.

If corn prices stay in the currentrange of $3 to $4, most farmers willlose money on this year’s crop, Univer-sity of Minnesota grain marketing spe-cialist Ed Usset said.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s NationalAnimal Health Monitoring System in the next fewweeks will launch Bison 2014, the first-ever nationalstudy of the U.S. ranched-bison industry. This initia-tive is intended to increase knowledge and under-standing about the characteristics, health and man-agement practices, and challenges facing bisonoperations in the United States.

To collect the data for the study, the USDA’s NationalAgricultural Statistics Service will send all U.S. ranchedbison producers a questionnaire and materials describ-ing the study. Producers are asked to complete andreturn the questionnaire within two weeks.

Bison 2014 is being conducted as a result of discus-

sions between the USDA’s Animal and Plant HealthInspection Service and representatives of the U.S.bison industry, including the National Bison Associa-tion. NAHMS obtained input from bison producersand other industry stakeholders to define the mostcritical information needs of the industry.

The Bison 2014 study will be conducted byNAHMS under its designation as a statistical unitunder the Confidential Information Protection andStatistical Efficiency Act. By law, all information col-

lected during the Bison 2014 study will be used forstatistical purposes only and will be treated as con-fidential in accordance with CIPSEA guidelines.Bison 2014 results will be presented only in anaggregate manner.

Sure, the debate continues as to which is the betterfor feeding cattle — deep bedding or slats. RedwoodCounty (Minn.) cattle feeder Dave Engen decidedthe best way to find out was to try both systems.

Participants on the July 8 Minnesota State Cattle-men’s Association summer tour hosted by RedwoodCounty Cattlemen checked out both structures atDouble Creek Farm, the Engen operation.

The slat barn, 44 feet wide and 363 feet long, isnew, housing its first batch of cattle this season. In abrief interview with The Land, Engen said, “We hearcattle in the slat barn are going to do better becauseof improved feed efficiency and more comfort. Wehope so because our upfront investment on the slatbarn definitely cost most per head capacity.”

Their other structure is open front, deep beddingon concrete. It measures 48 feet wide by 234 feet longand has a 350-head capacity.

An added touch on the slat barn is a rubber cover-ing installed on the slats. “Cattle comfort is excel-lent. We decided on rubber from the get-go eventhough costs are bigger. Payback looks good on therubber,” he said. A good warranty for at least a 10-year period, Engen mentioned that some barns haverubber covered slats now into their 17th year. “Sohopefully the rubber will last the life of the slats.”

Not a big issue, but perhaps important if time iscritical, is the simple fact that the permittingprocess on their total confinement, slat-floored struc-ture wasn’t an issue.

“Any time you present a plan which containseverything — manure, animals and traffic — it’s justthat much easier. An open building with open yard ismore a challenge when it comes to permits,” Engensaid.

Cattle in the Engen operation were sizeablealready in early July. That’s because these crittersare heading for Creekstone Packing, Arkansas City,

Kan.“These are scheduled to go out the first week in

August weighing about 1,525 pounds. Usually we’rein the 1,400-lb. range but this is the size they want,”he said, noting also “exclusively black cattle” iswhat Creekstone Packing handles. Creekstone paysthe trucking.

His new confinement facility has four pens, 160-head per pen.

“We started with 160-head per pen and even nowafter a feeding period, they’ll all be laying down incomfort.,” Engen said. “Yes, there’s always somesocial structure amongst a bunch of cattle but wewalk the pens each day. We’ll need a few morebunches of cattle through both systems before wehave data as to which is generating the best bottomdollar.

“But so far we’re feeling good about this slatfloored structure with rubber. And apparently soare the cattle,” Engen said. ❖

Harvest this fall has the potential to be ratherchaotic.

Railcars for moving grain continue to be practi-cally non-existent for many elevators. Propane fordrying grain could be an issue since the primarypipeline for moving propane into Minnesota is mov-ing crude oil. And there is still a large amount of2013 crop still in storage, both at country elevatorsand on farms.

One business not the least bit stifled, however, isthe sale of new grain bins.

Thanks to stronger corn and soybean prices thepast four years, this industry kept chalking up newsales records each year. Even with $3 corn, it appar-ently isn’t slowing down — in fact that’s a majormotivator: Farmers will store rather than sell.

Ross Christianson at the Westeel exhibit at therecent Farmfest wasn’t bashful about business.

“Yes, this business is still booming,” he said.“We’re having a record-breaking year, smashing allof our previous sales. It seems everybody and theirbrother needs a bin.”

Westeel manufactures in Manitoba, Canada, witha major warehouse in Fargo, N.D. Christianson, wholives at Lake Park, Minn., covers Montana, theDakotas, Minnesota and Wisconsin. They also sellinto Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and theeastern Cornbelt.

Asked Aug. 7 how long it would take to get a bindelivered and erected, Christianson said it would bemid-October at the earliest. Their display bin atFarmfest was a 3007, meaning 30 foot in diameter

and seven tiers high with a 16,000-bushel capacityand aeration floor.

From start to finish, including the concrete workplus accessories like aeration floor, sweep, staircaseand ladder, the cost is $1.90-$2 per bushel. Theirmost common farm size currently is a 3606, a25,000-bushel structure, but that is rapidly becom-ing the smallest bin these days. “(Becoming) muchmore common is the 4809, a 56,000-bushel bin,” saidChristianson. Once the concrete is poured, he saidhis best dealers with a six-man crew can get a bin upin 2 1⁄2 to 3 days.

The biggest farm bin so far for Westeel was a690,000-bushel monstrosity erected on a NorthDakota farm. Their goal is to soon be building 1-mil-lion-bushels bins for farm and commercial use.

Normal bin warranties are one-year, said Chris-tianson, “but we don’t leave our customers behind. Ifthey come with a problem that relates to engineeringor such, we’ve covered bins up to 7-8 years old.”

A perforated floor is generally standard with every binsale anymore. It’s a free-standing floor. Westeel sourcestheir steel from different manufacturers dependingupon the price of steel and delivery schedules.

BIN BOOM, from pg. 20Derrick Rauen of V. R. Construction in Goodwin,

S.D., explained the bin boom this way: “Your typicalfarmer isn’t running to the elevator during harvest.They don’t want to wait behind a bunch of semiswhen they’re trying to pull out their crop.”Concrete bunkers booming, too

Also cashing in on the growing farm storage boom isHanson Silos of Lake Lillian, Minn. Though they stillerect a few vertical silos, their particular product isconcrete bunkers with structures upto 12-feet tall and almost any width.

“Farmers want to control theirown destiny as much as possible,”said Hanson silos president MattHanson. “This is particularly true aswe grow into this new generation ofagriculture. So when corn drops tothree bucks and they don’t want tosell, they shouldn’t have to. Theyshould store and hold for a better market.”

That’s why flat storage in concrete bunkers is catch-ing the favor of more and more growers, according toHanson. “We can get them into big storage for easymoney — about 50 cents a bushel,” he explained, indi-cating that so far this year the market has been crazy.

He said the beauty of precast is that it is fast. “Wecan get a new structure delivered and in place in amatter of just a few weeks.”

They sell across the Dakotas, Minnesota, Iowa, Mis-souri and into Nebraska and Kansas, and apparentlyare selling fast. “If anyone is looking for work,” saidHanson, “call me because I can use more crews rightnow.”

Something new in the Hanson lineup is a strange-looking machine called Silo Pack, for use in bunkerstorage on either corn silage or haylage. It’s a 3-pointhydraulic hookup for big tractors that convenientlypacks silage.

“As dairy costs keep going up, especially feed inputs,”Hanson said, “the opportunity costs of cutting forsilage versus selling the grain simply means takingbetter care of that forage product. So the combinationof bunker storage and this Silo Packer gives you theopportunity for a better feed. The more you can pack,the better; this machine lets you do 50 lbs. per squareinch.”

Also new with Hanson Silo are header trailers withsome special engineering to handle the increasinglyheavy combine heads with “stalk chompers.”

The biggest concrete corn bunker so far for HansonSilo was a 3-million-bushel structure at MinnesotaFalls, with 8-foot-high concrete panels and a 550-footdiameter.

Grain AnglesLand rentalrisks/inputs

Grain producers have had tremendous success overthe last several years during the period of high com-modity prices. In conjunction, cash rental rates hadclimbed to record highs leading up to 2014; however,we’re now looking the lowest corn prices in nearly fouryears. Corn prices have decreased by almost 30 percentin just the last three months.Overall, the Midwest is havingnear perfect weather conditionswhich is fueling expectations of abumper crop come harvest time,meaning that we’re probably look-ing at further price deteriorationas yield estimates increase.

When farmers look at thesecommodity price outlooks they’requickly realizing they must fig-ure out how to reducerisks/inputs associated fromrenting land and/or reduce thecost or price of the rented farm-land. A recent report from the Kansas City Fedshowed that overall rental rates only dropped 2 per-cent from 2013 to 2014; however that was still thefirst decrease since 1999. With todays cash bids inthe mid-to-low $3 range many producers’ 2014 cashflow budgets are being stressed, especially for thosethat haven’t previously locked in better prices.

With low expectations for prices to increase, farm oper-ators should assess the risk potential of high dollar landrental rates before finalizing a 2015 land rental rate onnew or existing farm land. It’s important to use:

• realistic projected crop yields and prices • average costs of production for the farm operation,

including machinery and facility overhead expenses • desired return to the farm operator’s labor and

managementIf the land rental rate is much higher than break-

Livestock AnglesFrom bull

to bear marketThe livestock markets appear to be going through a

transformation from bull markets to bear markets aswe moved into the first week of August. The questionarises is this the real turn in these markets or only afalse turn as previously experienced in the last sev-eral months. Time we answer this question.

As for the cattle market, theRussian boycott of agriculturalproducts, which included beef, hassent the cattle futures tumblingafter that announcement. Thisrapid decent in the futures pricesresulted in two consecutive days oflimit losses to end the week onAug. 7. Many speculators andcommodity funds were liquidatinglong positions as technical signalsturned from positive to negative.This entire event drew the atten-tion of many fundamental tradersto realize that the already weakdemand may weaken even further as a result of theboycott by Russia. On top of this the beef cutouts beganto relinquish some of their recent gains under moderateto slow product movement.

The cash cattle market by the end of the week endingAug. 7 was slipping further after starting the week witha weak undertone. A concern has surfaced regardingthe tonnage of beef that is currently being produced asweights have continued to move higher. This brings theidea that cattle have been held back because of the dropin grain prices and that fact that numbers have beendeclining forcing the packer to aggressively bid on cattleeach week. At this juncture cattle feeders shouldreassess their price protection and approach the marketwith the idea of protection of their inventory.

The hog market has been on a slide for the pastseveral weeks as numbers of hogs had been more

Grain OutlookNew contractlows for corn

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing Aug. 15.

CORN — The dominating force this week was themuch anticipated U.S. Department of AgricultureAugust crop report which included the first surveybased yield estimates for the2014-15 crop. The report pushedcorn into new contract lows, butfor the rest of the week corn took ahigher tack. The technical sideended the week on a strong notewith a weekly key reversal higher.It’s not that unusual for corn tohave some sideways/higher movesin August, but I would expect eas-ing markets if weather doesn’tpose a threat into harvest.

Taking a look first at the oldcrop 2013-14 balance sheet, theUSDA upped ethanol usage by 45million bushels to 11.68 billion bushels and raisedexports by 20 million to 1.92 billion bushels. This cutending stocks by 65 million bushels to 1.181 billionbushels for old crop compared to the estimate of 1.24billion bushels. The ending stocks to use ratio fellfrom 9.2 percent to 8.7 percent. While interesting,most believe the USDA will have to increase lastyear’s production number from 13.925 billionbushels. Now for the 2014-15 balance sheet, theUSDA surprised everyone when they increased thecorn yield only slightly, in fact it was under the low-est trade guess of 168.0 bushels per acre. The cornyield was pegged at just 167.4 bu./acre, only 2.1bu./acre higher than the July estimate and wellbelow the average trade estimate of 170.1 bu./acre.This was still a record yield. Record ear populationswere noted and the third highest ear weights. Min-nesota’s yield was forecast at 168.0 bu./acre, with

NYSTROM, from pg. 22Illinois at 188 and Iowa at 185bu./acre. With no changes to planted orharvested acreage, the production number rose to arecord 14.032 billion bushels. This was up 172 mil-lion bushels from the July report and compared tothe average pre-report projection of 14.253 billionbushels. On the usage side, feed was up 50 millionbushels, ethanol 25 million higher, and exports wereraised 25 million bushels. Overall, the ending stocksnumber rose just 7 million bushels from the Julyreport to 1.808 billion bushels and versus guesses at2.005 billion bushels. Ending stocks to use ratio wasunchanged at 13.5 percent, but the average farmprice was dropped a dime to a range of $3.55 to$4.25. This is down from the 2013-14 price range of$4.40 to $4.50 per bushel. Corn conditions as ofAugust 10th were left unchanged at 73 percentgood/excellent.

Weekly export sales were a surprise, coming in at anegative 4.6 million bushels as old crop sales wererolled to new crop. We need to average 15.3 millionbushels per week for the balance of the month to hitthe new 1.92 million bushel target the USDA set thisweek. New crop sales were better than expected at31 million bushels. Ethanol production last weekwas up 29,000 barrels to 931,000 barrels. Stocks fell500,000 barrels to 17.8 million barrels.

Farm Service Agency released their August certifi-cation acreage numbers on Aug. 15, which some peo-ple put faith in and others don’t. For example, inAugust last year the FSA had corn acres at 88.8 mil-lion and the final actual number was 95.4 millionacres; FSA August beans last year at 72.1 millionversus final of 76.5 million acres. This year for cornthey reported 83.322 million acres and beans 79.249

million acres. The bottom line impli-cation is maybe corn acreage esti-mates from the USDA could be 1 to 2

million acres too high and bean acres 1 million toohigh. The FSA numbers do not include all plantedacres and are updated monthly. I would not base mymarket opinions off the FSA numbers. For preventplant, they published 1.54 million for corn (secondlowest since 2009), beans 827,000 acres and wheat1.36 million acres.

OUTLOOK: December corn tumbled to a new con-tract low of $3.58 per bushel immediately followingthe crop report before bouncing back to finish higheron the day in a reversal higher on the chart. Decem-ber corn closed higher every day this week in aweekly key reversal higher. This sets the market upfor possible further gains; however, the marketexpects the yield to grow larger on subsequentreports if the weather forecasts for mild tempera-tures and chances of rain come to fruition. Thisshould limit upside potential.

When is low enough? Once all the negative news isin the market, and I’m not convinced it is yet. In aninformal survey, growers are thought in general tohave only sold 8 percent to 10 percent of theirexpected corn crop. This should put some pressurewhen bushels that are unable to be stored are soldinto the market. For the balance of August, theDecember contract may be stuck in a $3.58 to $3.90range, but if weather cooperates we probably closerto $3.40 per bushel. Next week is the ProFarmer croptour and we’ll be watching it closely for yield checks.For the week, September corn was up 14 cents at$3.65 3⁄4 and December corn rallied 13 1⁄2 cents toclose at $3.77 per bushel.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans saw some fireworks in

the aftermath of the monthly crop report as Novem-ber soybeans shot to a new contract low of $10.43per bushel off the report, but as the week pro-gressed another new low was set at $10.38 3⁄4 perbushel. Breaking down the balance sheet changes:2013-14 imports were cut 5 million bushels to 80million, exports jumped 20 million to 1.64 billionbushels, and residual use fell 25 million, resultingin unchanged ending stocks from the July report at140 million bushels. The trade was anticipating asmall decline to 136 million bushels. The USDA canmake revisions to the 2013-14 production numberson the September monthly report.

For the 2014-15 crop year, the yield inched up 0.2bu./acre to a record 45.4 bu./acre (estimate 45.6bu./acre), for a production increase of 16 million to arecord breaking 3.816 billion bushels. This wasbelow the prediction of 3.823 billion bushels. Min-nesota’s bean yield came in at 42.0 bu./acre versuslast year’s 41.0 bu./acre. Nothing was changed onthe usage side. Ending stocks were up 15 millionfrom last month’s 415 million bushel forecast to 430million bushels. This compared to the trade esti-mate of 414 million bushels. The average farm pricerange dropped 15 cents to $9.35 to $11.35 perbushel.

OUTLOOK: For the week, November soybeanscrumbled 32 3⁄4 cents lower to $10.52 per bushel ina weekly key reversal lower. This is a negative signfor the market and if rains occur as forecast, lookfor the downtrend to continue. The informal, unoffi-cial survey mentioned in the corn comments, sug-gests producers have sold around 20 percent of thisyear’s coming bean crop. Additional sales will keeppressure on the market. November soybeans areforecast to trade with a “9” in front of them beforewe’re done if rains develop and help finish off thecrop.

JOHNSON, from pg. 22even levels, producers must try to negotiate a morereasonable rental rate or flexible agreement or facethe difficult decision to let the land go.

By running different cash flow scenarios producerswill be in a good position to know what they need tonegotiate for 2015 rents. A strong working capitalposition may give producers a little more room tonegotiate higher if necessary, although a weak work-ing capital position may give little margin for error.

With this knowledge in hand, producers shouldbegin discussions with their land owners ahead ofharvest, with most looking for reduced rates. Hope-fully land owners understand the current grain eco-nomics but, if not, it may be beneficial to outline theeconomics and the risks associated with putting in acrop.

It’s important not to assume the land owner isexpecting a lower land rental rate as I’ve alreadyseen a few land owners that were expecting higherrates for 2015. No matter what the expectations, it’simportant to try and focus on the tangible discussiontopics and be prepared to talk not only about com-modity prices and rental rates, but also nutrientmanagement, production practices and rent-to-valueratios.

One alternative to a proposed high cash rental ratefor 2015 may be for producers and landlords to con-sider flexible cash lease rental agreements. Thisallows the final cash rental rate to vary as cropyields and market prices vary or as gross revenueper acre exceeds established targets.

The use of a flexible cash rental lease is potentiallyfairer to both the landlord and the farm operator,depending on how the flexible lease is set up. Thereare many variations to setting up a flexible leaseagreement between a landlord and farm operator.The big key, regardless of the flexible lease agree-ment, is for both the landlord and tenant fully under-stand the rental agreement, and the calculationsthat are used to determine the final rental rate.

There are many dynamics that go into rental ratenegotiations, but the most important is to be pre-pared for the discussion, which includes knowingyour costs, having alternatives, and be willing tomake difficult decisions.

TEALE, from pg. 22than adequate to meet packer’s needs. Theannouncement by Russia to ban the import of Amer-ican agricultural products which includes pork didnot undermine the already bearish attitude towardthe hog market.

A saving grace for the hogs is the fact that marketis oversold and the futures are extremely discountto the current cash index. Another factor could alsobe optimistic for hogs is the fact that the relation-ship between pork and beef is misaligned onceagain making pork the better value against beef. Itis not so much that hog prices have to rally, but thatthe relationships between competitive meats andpork could support the hog market prices from col-lapsing in the weeks ahead.

Obviously the hog market has signaled some sortof a resistance to the higher prices seen this spring.Therefore producers should approach the marketwith a cautious attitude and be willing to protectinventories as needed. ❖

He lived with a little bit of prevent planting in2013, just enough to understand that it’s a bunch ofpotential confusion. But in 2014 prevent planting

became a major pain for lots of farmers. One of theseguys was Mike Meulenar, the Carver County(Minn.) farmer who introduced me to the word “inep-tocracy” last winter. I sat with Mike at a Rabo Bankdinner event in Olivia, Minn., on July 28. He chatted

on the challenges of getting (or rather, mostly notgetting) his crops planted in 2014.

Said Meulenar, “One day between showers thisspring I was just sitting and thinking about thisfarming business. In 1973, the first year I startedfarming with my Dad, we got totally hailed out. Wethought we had goodcrop insurance butthey told us we coulduse that crop forsilage. Corn withoutears isn’t much forsilage. But we sur-vived.”

He continued,“Then in 1988 thedrought hit butagain we survived.Last year we had ourfirst taste of preventplant. Troublesomebut we workedaround it. We do ourown tiling and wherewe farm up in that Norwood/Young America area ourtile trenches were wet last fall. Then we had thislong winter that didn’t want to end; then a big snowthe end of April. So this spring we really had someissues.”

He farms with his brother and nephew and simplysaid, “not planting a crop is really tough. I don’tknow how many sheets of paper we went through.Seems every day we would sit down and pencil it outagain and it always came up better to not plant butinstead take the crop insurance, save our APH(annual production history), save our yield history.Prevent plant seemed to be the only way to get someblack ink out of farming this year.”

Meulenar is a realist. “We could have mudded thiscrop in but the showers kept coming every few days.We did mud in some crop and it looks terrible.”

Their first year of prevent planting was 2013 butthat was only on 250 acres. This year there are lots ofprevent planting acres in Carver County, includingabout 3,450 acres just for the Meulenar operation.The estimate is that 30 percent of the county’s corncrop didn’t get planted this year. Official figureswon’t be available until certification data is com-pleted by all Carver County producers.

So what do you do with this land? “We startedspraying just as soon as we could for weed control.We have a mounted sprayer with a 120 foot boom ona John Deere track tractor (8430 model) but even sowe got stuck four times in the first week. We obvi-ously shouldn’t have been in those fields; they juststayed wet for a long time.”

How do you “unstuck” those big JD track tractors?With another tractor just as big, chuckled Meulenar.Because fields were so wet, spraying those preventplant acres took over two weeks. But the land neededsome sort of cover crop. They started buying oats inJune but quickly oats were getting scarce. They gottheir last out of the North and South Dakota. They

Prevent planting not an easy choice for farmers

PREVENT, from pg. 24started spreading the oats that last week in July andworking it lightly into the landscape.

Intentions are to leave this oat seeding until earlyOctober then go in and disc/chisel lightly for wintercover; then hopefully next spring is a decent one andthat land goes back into corn and soybean produc-tion.

No checks as yet in the mail for their preventplanting ground because nothing happens untilacreage audits are confirmed by the insurance com-pany agent. “We get audited every year. That’s justpart of the business of farming anymore, especiallysince we have a good base history. That made ourdecision to prevent plant a lot easier because wehave a long history of corn on corn,” Meulenar said.

Lots of dairies in Meulenar’s area so the obviousquestion: Where will the dairy farmers get theirfeed? He said one local dairy farmer called earlyJune asking if we would plant some corn on thoseacres that he could buy this fall, even if it didn’tmake grain corn. “We didn’t because we know thatmudding in corn in mid-June wouldn’t amount tomuch of a crop and would likely hurt our base his-tory also.”

He speculates that even with corn at $3.50 dairyguys are going to be able to find silage. “They may be

trucking a few miles but I think the corn will be outthere. The negative is that Federal Crop Insurancedoes not cover costs like it does a cash crop becausethey wouldn’t have the corn base if it’s rotated inthere with alfalfa and a cover crop of oats.”

The irony of this huge prevent planting situation isthat lots and lots of expensive seed corn never gotplanted, even though farmers had already paid forthe seed. With the Meulenar’s for example, the seedcompany eventually did pick up the unused seed andas yet hasn’t refunded the seed cost.

But Mike’s okay with that so far. “I thought theywould send me a check but as of July 28 that hasn’thappened. It looks like I will have been financing myseed for pretty much a whole year. I suspect we willget repaid or perhaps this covers seed purchases fornext year. But we will get new seed. They took myold stuff so we’ll be okay with seed quality again.”

Will seed prices be a battle this fall in view oflower commodity prices? Only time will tell specu-lates Meulenar indicating, “We’re only a small spotin the U.S. corn crop. Lots of terrifically good corn inmost of the country so cash is being generated andcorn demand likely will be strong again next year.”

That word he shared for Land Minds last winterwas Ineptocracy: A system of government where theleast capable to lead are elected by the least capableof producing and where the members of societyleast likely to sustain themselves or succeed, arerewarded with goods and services paid for bywealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Meulenar agrees, “It seems we’re still in thatsame situation.”

FSA data for Carver County, 2014:Corn planted… 33,081.65 acres; Corn pre-

This column was writtenfor the marketing week end-ing Aug. 15.

Cash butter woke up thesecond week of August, afterbeing in a holding patternthe week before and plung-ing 19 cents the week beforethat. It closed Aug. 15, at awhopping $2.66 per pound,up 26 cents on the week andan unbelievable $1.29 abovea year ago when the spotprice hit the bottom for theyear at $1.37 per pound. An astounding59 carloads exchanged hands this week,up from 37 last week. Eyes will bewatching to see if the spot nears therecord high $2.81 per pound set in Sep-tember 1998. The lagging NationalDairy Products Sales Report-surveyedbutter average reversed three weeks ofgain and dropped 4.8 cents, to $2.4807.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’sDairy Market News says the undertoneis firming with active interest for but-ter going into retail and food serviceaccounts. Bulk butter is sought after asmany manufacturers comment onbeing in a butterfat deficit situation.Production levels are steady for themost part, with the primary focus onsalted butter manufacturing. Newexport orders are slow as some Euro-pean and Oceania butter market pricesfell, while U.S. prices went higher.

Butter production in the West ismostly steady. Milk production contin-ues to trend seasonally lower, but someincreased cream volumes are becomingavailable in the region. Schools havebegun to open. With stronger fluiddemand and active skimming, addi-tional cream is available for manufac-turing from bottlers. Some butter man-ufacturers are still selling cream to icecream and cream cheese accounts, butare interested in running churns asheavily as possible to fill butterdemand. Retail butter demand is good,stocks are below year ago levels, andbuyers are looking to secure invento-ries for their third and fourth quarterneeds.

Cash cheese saw a thirdweek of gain. The 40-poundblocks closed Aug. 15, at$2.22 per pound, up 12 centson the week, 44.25 centsabove a year ago, and thehighest they have been sinceApril 22. Barrel finished at$2.21, up 8.75 cents on theweek and 44.5 cents above ayear ago. Fifteen cars ofblock and only two of barreltraded hands on the week.The NDPSR U.S. average

block price was $2.0156, up a half-centfrom the previous week, and barrelaveraged $2.0443, down 2.8 cents.

DMN says milk tightness is constrict-ing cheese production in the Midwest.Some scheduled and expected milkdeliveries to plants have been reducedin volume this week. Cheese plant man-agers have received calls from othercheese producers looking for extra milk,to no avail. This has led some con-tracted buyers of barrels to be told thatexpected order delivery will have to bereduced. Barrels are already in tightsupply, so future reduced contract deliv-eries with further tighten the situation.

■

Relief to the milk tightness is notexpected in the immediate future.Some NDM producers are moving milkfrom dryers to cheese when the capa-bilities are available.

Higher cheese prices are giving somebuyers pause but other buyers haveobtained extra deliveries, sometimesfrom inventory rather than currentproduction. Cheese manufacturers aremore eager to sell inventories withrecent cheese price increases.

Western cheese production is mostlysteady. Hot weather and seasonallylower production levels have slowedmilk intakes, but additional milk isavailable to meet demand. Increasedsupplies of nonfat dry milk at lowerprices are also helping to add to milksolids to be used to fortify cheese vats.

MIELKE, from pg. 26Wholesale cheese prices moved higher and have tem-pered some of the demand for additional loads abovecontracted needs.

Those companies with various outlets for theirmilk supply are often prioritizing cheese productionabove alternative products. Export demand forcheese is showing some increased interest, but buy-ers are price conscious and often waiting for pricebreaks to make purchases. Domestic demand is goodand supplies are ample to fill most orders.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk continued to crash,closing Friday at $1.3975 per pound, down 14.25 centson the week and down 25.25 cents in the past 10 con-secutive sessions. This price has not seen this low alevel since Aug. 1, 2012. Five cars were sold on theweek. NDPSR powder averaged $1.7958, down 4.6cents, and dry whey averaged 69.71 cents, up 0.4 cent.

■

FC Stone dairy broker Dave Kurzawski said in Fri-day’s DairyLine that domestic demand for cheeseand butter is still very strong and may continue forsome time. “I don’t know where the top of these mar-kets will be,” he admitted. “I don’t know if anybodycan answer that question, but what has happenedhere is that there remains a strong demand for fatand demand for butter.” Cream demand remainsstrong as well, he said, although cream demand hasticked down a little but “nothing too worrisome fromthe standpoint of the market bulls.”

Cheese has “chopped sideways, around the $2 levelfor several months now,” Kurzawski explained. “Andnow we’re starting to break back to the upside andall the bearish news globally has yet to translate into

anything here domestically and so from that stand-point, if there’s still tightness the market might haveto go up into a price where they’ll bring some excessinventory to the exchange.”

Things are stronger than most people expect, hesaid. “No one knows how long it will last but I thinkwe will have a $2 cheese market at least through theend of August.”

The “bearish” news would appear to be the threatof rising milk production — Kurzawski says globallythere’s no doubt about that and things will bechanging in that regard next year in Europe.There’s concern about good weather in Australiaand New Zealand as the El Niño scare “loses itssteam,” he said, but “domestically here we have yet

MIELKE, from pg. 27to see any of these real high prices that producersare receiving really translate into much of a big milkproduction situation in 2014. ... We’ll probably seeabout a 1.5 percent increase and that’s just notenough at this point in time.”

■

The falling fluid challenge remains in the dairyindustry as evidence by USDA’s latest data. May2014 packaged fluid milk sales totaled 4.2 billionpounds, down 3.5 percent from May 2013. (Saleswere not adjusted for calendar considerations as inprevious monthly reports). May sales of conventionalproducts, at 3.99 billion pounds, were down 4.1 per-cent from a year ago; organic products, at 211 mil-lion, were up 8.1 percent Organic represented about5.3 percent of total sales for the month.

January-May 2014 total packaged fluid milk sales,at 21.24 billion pounds, were down 2.5 percent fromthe same period a year earlier. Year-to-date sales ofconventional products, at 20.2 billion pounds, weredown 3.2 percent; organic products, at 1.04 billionpounds, were up 12.4 percent. Organic representedabout 5.1 percent of total sales.

The figures represent consumption of fluid milkproducts in Federal milk order marketing areas andCalifornia, which account for approximately 92 per-cent of total fluid milk sales in the United States.

■

Meanwhile, USDA’s weekly update shows milk pro-duction is experiencing incremental declines acrossthe Southwest, Pacific Northwest, Southeast and theCentral regions as summer advances and warm tem-peratures progress. A stretch of cooler weatherincreased cow comfort and milk production in theNortheast and Mid-Atlantic. Class I demand isimproving and expecting to build over the nextmonth, as the school year commences. Ample con-densed volumes are stretching dryer capacity in theNortheast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest. Declines inbutterfat component levels have tightened creamsupplies in the Southwest.

A seasonal slowdown in ice cream production hasadded to cream availability in the Midwest. With thestart of new butterfat pricing in California, manufac-turers are weighing the option between selling andchurning. Rainy conditions are slowing the alfalfaharvest in Utah and Idaho as overnight frost ham-pers the hay harvest in New Mexico.

■

Looking into dairy’s so-called crystal ball, USDA’sWorld Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimatesreport, released Aug. 12, raised its milk productionforecasts for 2014 and 2015 slightly as lower feedcosts are expected to support higher output per cow.The 2014 production was projected at 206.0 billionpounds, up 100 million pounds from last month’s pro-jections. If realized, 2014 production would be up 2.4percent from 2013. Production for 2015 was projectedat 212.5 billion, also up 100 million pounds from amonth ago. If realized 2015 production would be upabout 3.2 percent from 2014.

‘Just not enough’

See MIELKE, pg. 29

MIELKE, from pg. 28Fat basis export forecasts for 2014

and 2015 were lowered as Russia’s banon imports from a number of dairyexporting countries will likely increasecompetition in export markets. Fatbasis imports were raised as suppliesin competing exporters are expected tobe large. The skim-solids export fore-cast was raised slightly for 2014, butwas reduced in 2015 as competitionincreases. Skim-solids imports wereunchanged from last month.

Butter prices and whey price fore-casts were raised for 2014 withstrength in butter prices expected tocarry into 2015. Cheese prices andnonfat dry milk prices were forecasthigher in 2014, but their price fore-casts for 2015 were unchanged fromlast month.

Class III and Class IV prices for2014 were raised on stronger compo-nent product prices and the Class IIIprice forecast for 2015 was raisedreflecting strength in whey prices.Look for the 2014 Class III price to

average around $21.35 per hundred-weight, up 20 cents from last month’sestimate, and compares to $17.99 in2013 and $17.44 in 2012. The 2015Class III average was put at $17.50,up a nickel from a month ago.

The Class IV is expected to average$22.50 in 2014, up 35 cents from lastmonth’s projection, and compares to$19.05 in 2013 and $16.01 in 2012. The2015 Class IV average is now projectedat $19.25, unchanged from last month.

Cooperatives Working Togetheraccepted five requests for export assis-tance this week from Dairy Farmers ofAmerica, Michigan Milk ProducersAssociation, and Tillamook CountyCreamery Association to sell 277,782pounds of Cheddar cheese and 1.587million pounds of whole milk powderto customers in Asia, the Middle East,North Africa, and South America.

The product will be deliveredthrough December 2014 and raisedCWT’s 2014 cheese exports to 80.579million pounds, plus 48.051 million

pounds of butter and 19.877 millionpounds of whole milk powder to 43countries on six continents. Thesesales are the equivalent of 2.024 bil-lion pounds of milk on a milkfat basis.

Minnesota farmers saw 6.3 days suit-able for fieldwork across the state,allowing steady progress to be made onsmall grain harvest for the week end-ing Aug. 10, according to the U.S.Department of Agriculture NationalAgricultural Statistics Service.

In spite of the heavy precipitationreceived earlier in the season, mostMinnesota farmers would like to seetheir row crops receive additionalmoisture. Some farmers have startedto spray for aphids.

Topsoil moisture supplies were rated5 percent very short, 31 percent short,61 percent adequate, and 3 percentsurplus. Subsoil moisture supplieswere rated 2 percent very short, 18 per-cent short, 76 percent adequate, and 4percent surplus.

Ninety-four percent of the corn cropwas at or beyond the silking stage, up 9points from the previous week, with 70percent in good to excellent condition.

Ninety-four percent of the soybeancrop has reached the blooming stagewith 74 percent of the soybean acres set-ting pods, up 19 points from the previousweek. Soybean conditions rated 65 per-cent good to excellent.

USDA reports crop progress,condition for Minnesota

ST. CLOUD, Minn. — On any livestock farm,identification and record keeping is important. It’scrucial for several reasons: knowing that animal’slineage, knowing its age, any treatment the animalhas received, and other aspects of its history onyour farm. Not knowing which animal is which canlead to many detrimental management mistakes.Brenda Miller, Livestock Educator with ToddCounty Extension, recently published an articleabout this very topic. She had many valuableinsights on the subject. She says, “It doesn’t matterif you have 30 or 3,000 cows; every producer needsto have an identification system in place.”

Let’s start with identification. What are theoptions? What are the tools associated with thoseoptions? Ear tags are the most widely used type ofidentification on farms. Ear tags are an easy, firstform of identification for any age or size of animalwith many different options to choose from. Choicescan include color, size, personalization, laserengraved, or write-on tags.

If you worry about an animal losing its ear tag,you may consider double tagging your animals withone small and one large tag (or two large tags) bothwith the same name/number. That way should one

tag get lost you will still have the other one and canreplace the lost tag the next time the animal runsthrough the chute or comes into the barn. If youchoose ear tags, the supplies you’ll need are the tagsand a tagging pliers. If you worry about losing eartags, you may want to look at a more permanentform of ID.

Permanent forms of identification include tattoosand brands. Tattoos are placed in the ear of the ani-mal, and can last forever. However, the downside totattoos is they may be hard to read, and you willmost likely need help applying them to your ani-mals. Supplies needed to tattoo livestock include thetattoo pliers, letter and number dyes, and the ink.Branding is a well-known means of livestock identi-fication.

Today, most farmers do freezing branding, and itusually results in an easy to read, permanent ID.Some cons of branding are the extra work and peopleit requires, needing a restraint system such as achute, and the cost of all of the supplies needed,which includes branding irons, liquid nitrogen, clip-pers, timer, disinfectant, and gloves.

Along with proper identification, adequate record

keeping is crucial to any livestock operation. Everyfarm should be keeping records especially on animalidentification and any treatments used on a specificanimal.

When artificially inseminating, write down theservice date, service sire, and due date for each cow.Keep a chart or a single page-per-cow to record whenshe calved, bull or heifer, dead or alive, ID of the calf,and any additional observations or comments. Addto her chart every year she calves and include hervaccinations, illnesses, treatments, and any otherlife events she may have.

For day-to-day, recording this information in anotebook allows for easy access and quick notes.However, in addition to written notes you shouldconsider using record-keeping software, such asDairyComp, or at the very least making an Excelspreadsheet on the computer so you have everythingdown twice-written on paper and saved on the com-puter.

James Root, the train engineer who rescued 150 peoplefrom the flames of Hinckley on Sept. 1, 1894, did so bybacking his train out of town to a marsh called Skunk

Lake. There the people on the burning train leaped off and,with the aid of porter John Blair, found their way to the hotslimy waters and immersed themselves.

Root, who miracu-lously survived severeburns, describes threemen running out of thebillowing smoke towardthe train as it began toinch out of Hinckley. Heslowed to pick thesemen up. But then herealized that if hestopped, everyone onboard would die.

One of the men stum-bled and disappeared inthe smoke. The othertwo reached the trainand grabbed on butshortly one of thoserolled off the train intothe flames. Even therailroad ties were burn-ing. A visit to Hinckley’sfire museum will renewthe story of James Root,John Blair, and many oth-ers from that Sept. 1st solong ago. The stories at themuseum are told throughvideo, wall murals, printed words, historical displays, and bythe museum hostesses. The story of the Hinckley fire, whichalso destroyed the villages of Sandstone, Mission Creek, andPokegama, is one all Minnesotans should know. There is no bet-ter place to sense its horrible ferocity than at the Fire Museum.

But if the image of a man stumbling, falling, and finally dis-appearing in the burning black smoke while James Root holdshis burned hands to the controls is overwhelming, you canretreat to the cemetery on Fire Monument Road. In fourtrenches behind the 52-foot tall gray granite marker lie theremains of 248 bodies recovered shortly after the fire. Perhapsthe man who tried to reach Roots train lies there.

But, perhaps, he was identified by family members and givenhis own burial site. Or perhaps he is among the uncounteddead. When the monument was dedicated on Sept. 1, 1900, itsinscription said that, “more than four hundred and eighteenhuman lives” were lost in the fire. Who, then, were the “morethan” that were not counted? Does it matter to be uncounted?

The cutting of the forest that brought on the Hinckley Firewas part of the march of human progress. Some of the ques-tions posed by it are as old as time, however. ❖
