THE LAND ~ Jan. 15, 2016 ~ Southern Edition

A little rusty, a little crusty, but hope-fully trusty.

It has been said you can’t teach an olddog new tricks, but here at The Landthey are trying. The new year brings mea new job and I am excited for the possi-bilities it presents. I have beenentrusted with the position of ManagingEditor of The Land.

Like a new quarterback joining anestablished, successful team, my firstpriority is to not screw things up. Nowentering its 40th year of publication,The Land is popular and well-respected.I intend to keep it that way.

Newspapers have been in my blood since beforedesktop computers and certainly the internet. Thejob market for 60-year olds being what it is, I’ve beenout of the game for the past three years. I am anx-ious to return to publishing and am thankful for theopportunity. I feel this is where I belong.

To illustrate how the wheels of life go around, Ifirst met The Land Staff Writer Dick Hagen almost40 years ago. I was a greenhorn with the OliviaTimes-Journal and Dick was working with KeltgenSeeds.

Since then, the world of journalism has taken medown many different roads. My wife Sarah and Ieven owned our own newspaper, The HendersonIndependent, for 10 years.

There are a few similarities in running a newspa-per and running a farm. There can be long days. You

are always on call. You alone are responsi-ble for your successes or failures. One thingabout newspapers — failures are perma-nently in print for everyone to see.

I grew up on a 400-acre dairy farm northof Biscay, Minn. Back then almost everyfarm had cows, pasture and grew crops forfeed. Tractor models were letters of thealphabet (we had a John Deere B, a FarmallH and a Farmall M). Planters and combinesseem laughably tiny in comparison totoday’s machines.

And while the goals of today’s farmerare similar to those of my father, agri-culture is now much more complex and

volatile.Technology, sky-rocketing costs and unpredictable

markets can keep a farm’s very existence on tenuousground. In my opinion, this is what makes The Landa valuable resource.

Not only are we able to present current practicesand trends to farmers over a wide area; but we pro-vide an avenue for anyone in the ag industry toshare their thoughts and ideas.

Even the best newspaper in the world is nothingwithout loyal readers. I heartily welcome all sugges-tions, comments, complaints and definitely compli-ments.

Together we can keep The Land useful and enter-taining for another 40 years.

January was a quiet monthon the southern Illinois dairyfarm of my youth. Maybe itwas quiet because we werequiet, drained after December’smonth-long buildup to Christ-mas and New Year’s. Maybe itwas quiet because most of ourfarm machines, like all of ourfields, were quiet.

Whatever the reason, Janu-ary still brought 100 Holsteincows to our dairy barn twice aday. These mid-winter milk-ings always began in morning darkness and alwaysended in nighttime darkness. That dark-to-darkschedule didn’t make the days longer but it suremade ’em pass more slowly.

Even the cows sensed it. They were slow to trudgeinto the parlor and slow to leave its semi-warmth.Our slower-than-usual, nothing-to-do-today pacebecame their slow, nothing-to-do-either pace. It wasthe one time of the year man and bovine seemed tobe in perfect synch. That Januarypace was the same pace Jackie, thefarm’s full-time field hand, main-tained year-round. Neither laggardnor speedball, Jackie mostly used this one gear —equal to about third gear our on farm’s fleet of Olivertractors — whether he was bedding the dry cow shedin winter or hauling hay in summer.

Jackie was never in a hurry because time wasn’tsomething he watched. As long-time readers mayrecall, Jackie didn’t watch time because he couldn’ttell time. Time was a concept to him, not a fact.

As such, time to Jackie became the time it took forhim to drink a cup of Folger’s instant coffee in thedairy barn as he watched the morning milking. Timethen became the time the mailman drove by, about10 a.m. most days. Noon was when he noticed every-one on the move — dinnertime, don’t you know —and quitting time, 6 p.m., was when he figured it wastime for him to quit.

In more than 25 years of working on that farm,Jackie rarely missed any of those times by more than10 minutes either way.

In January, however, Jackie’s slow pace slowedeven more. He’d linger over two cups of Folger’s inthe dairy parlor each morning. My father, alwayspatient, said nothing. It was, after all, January. Soonenough, Jackie would disappear to do the chore heknew awaited him and, an hour or so later, he’d beback in the dairy barn for another cup of coffee.

Again, my father, always patient, said nothing.Howard, the dairy’s full-time herdsman, had a sim-

ilar no-clock clock. Unlike his younger brother, how-ever, he could tell time; he just didn’t need to.

Most Januarys passed without my great UncleHoney on the farm. Technically, according to theSocial Security Administration anyway, Honey wasretired so he often spent winter afternoons playingeither euchre or pinochle with some friends as ababy bottle of Budweiser, his daily limit, warmednearby.

One January he and Aunt Esther actu-ally took a Caribbean cruise to — if mem-ory serves correctly — all points south

including Venezuela. My father, who did not inheritHoney’s hurry-up giddy up, must have been elated:an entire month with no iron to unbend or weld, notractor clutch to repair or replace, and no fire to beon the lookout for or to put out.

The person on the farm who enjoyed January’sslack pace more than anyone had to be my mother.With Christmas over, all the children back in schooland no Uncle Honey to cook noon dinner for, shefinally had time to pursue her passion, sewing.Weeks-long sessions yielded dresses, shirts, wintercoats, and blouses that were so finely crafted that noone could tell whether they were homemade or storebought.

Soon enough, though, February always arrived.Along with it came Jackie’s single-cup mornings, thethreat of a refreshed Uncle Honey reappearing and,usually, a long-enough thaw to remind us thatanother year’s fieldwork was about to begin.

And that was just fine; we had enjoyed a quiet Jan-uary, after all.

Dark-to-dark milkings, second cups

OPINION

To the Editor: In The Land Jan. 1 issue, an article titled “Legisla-

tor talks property taxes” presented the views of Real-tor Roger Heller and State Rep. Tim Miller. Hellersaid, “Land investors are heading to Iowa and SouthDakota. Both states have more favorable propertytaxes.”

Personally, I would much rather see farmers buy-

ing land in Minnesota instead of land investors.

Miller said, “No” to any gas tax increase. As a long-time farmer, I do hope we continually invest what isneeded to maintain our roads, bridges, and publicschools to the best of our abilities.

Greg RendahlOstrander, Minn.

Letter: State must invest in roads, schools

These mid-winter milkings alwaybegan in morning darkness andalways ended in nightime dark-ness. That dark-to-dark scheduledidn’t make the days longer butit sure made ’em pass moreslowly.

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

Agriculture has stepped up andis assertively adapting to changingclimates, said Mark Seeley, Uni-versity of Minnesota “weatherman.” Seeley specializes inweather and climate impacts onMinnesota agriculture so he knowswhat he’s talking about.

“We see Minnesota and Midwestern farmersaggressively tackling the problems of erosion thatoccur with these severe events. Timing of fertiliza-tion is changing such as more split applications tominimize runoff or leaching losses during the grow-

ing season,” Seeley said. “Hybrid selection, even cropchoices are being considered because farmers aremore in tune with how the growing seasons havechanged as a result of climate change.”

Seeley said he is certain that agriculture was aprime topic of the United Nations Climate ChangeConference in Paris in December.

Seeley sees evidence that adaptation changes arewell underway and he expects them to accelerate.

“Admittedly it was a slow start some years back,but farmers today seem open minded about makingchanges in how they farm because of changingweather scenarios,” he said.

Cover crops play a role in the farming landscape.“Items such as nutrient recycling, preservation of

organic matter, cover and protection of the soil arekey reasons why cover crops have now become suchan important items of conversation and practice,”Seeley said.

“They have multiple benefits to our landscape. I’mpleased to see our Extension Service actively pro-moting the education and adaptation of this majorchange in the farming landscape.”Weather forecast

With 2015 being a near perfect growing season inmost of Minnesota, there were fewer weatherextremes that have become common in recent years.

“We did have a relatively quiet year from thestandpoint of extremes and we had significant mod-eration through the entire crop season,” noted See-ley.

Because of timely rains and moderate tempera-tures, Seeley called 2015 the best cropping season inwell over 50 years. Now thanks to a wetter than nor-mal November with soils still unfrozen, there hasbeen good recharge of soil moisture. Any dry subsoilareas are mostly confined to northwest Minnesota,said Seeley. Once soils are frozen, recharge of wintermoisture via snow and or rain is lessened consider-ably.

Now farmers are looking to the weather predictedfor the 2016 cropping season

So his take on how to ‘think your way’ into the2016 cropping season as it pertains to weather?

“We’re a little bit uncertain on spring moisture pat-terns, but moisture recharge was good this fall. We’renoting that the first half of winter will be milderthan normal and the second half is more uncertain,”

Seeley: 2015 one of best crop seasons in 50 years

See SEELEY, pg. 7

Mark Seeley

SEELEY, from pg. 6Asaid Seeley. “We could go either way. We could accu-mulate some abundant snowfall but it’s a bit of awild card.”

Seeley supports University of Minnesota Exten-sion research results that indicate protectivereduced tillage can minimize soil loss, especially dur-ing extreme winds of fall and winter.

He noted wind storms are becoming more signifi-cant across the Midwest. Reduced tillage protectsthe soils up to a limit but sudden wind events of 40,50, even 60 mph winds literally scour the landscaperegardless of tillage said Seeley.El Niño

Seeley explained that over time the Pacific has pro-duced an El Niño current where the ocean waters inthe eastern Pacific, just off the equator, are warmerthan average. The energy that is part of that warmbody of water gets moved away through a strongersouthern jet stream out of the sub-tropics. That hasbeen a good supplier of moisture into the southernand central United States, he noted.

Seeley said El Niño is the reason for occasionalheavy flooding in the Southwest, which occurredagain this winter season and generous rains acrossthe Corn Belt.

“El Niño is associated with a generally favorableweather pattern during the summer,” he said.

He pointed out that occasional large scale areas ofturbulence form in the Indian Ocean between Indiaand Australia and move across the Pacific.

“These generally are short-time occurrences butwhen they do happen, they can influence weatherpatterns across the United States for up to sixweeks,” he said.

“We experienced a couple of those occurrences in2004 when suddenly around St. Patrick’s Day rain orsnow in the Rockies patterns developed which per-sisted into mid-June. That set us up for the biggestcrop year ever, which was reinforced with anotherrain period about six weeks later.

“Scientists are learning more and more about thePacific waters and its ocean temperature cycles. Alsothose areas of scattered turbulence. We’re learningmore about intermittent features like La Niña andEl Niño, and long term observations of how oceantemperatures sequence back and forth every 10years or so.”

Seeley explained that El Niño or La Niña and tur-bulence migrating out of the Indian Ocean reallyimpact the Corn Belt.

“We’re learning how to better identify those stormsand are now monitoring these disturbances on aweekly basis,” he said.

When it comes to forecasting temperature andmoisture, Seeley explained that temperature fore-casting has a more accurate component due to a mul-titude of thermometers at many locations wheredata has been cataloged, stored, and analyzed over along period of time.

“So when analyses are done of the upper atmos-phere and then incorporated with that surface data

it’s much easier to get a handle on what the temper-ature trends are going to be,” Seeley said.

“I think we are looking at an overall similarweather situation as we just experienced in 2015.The only complicating factor is that there may be afew more rainy periods this spring. But at this timewith the Pacific still being in a mostly neutralstanding, I don’t think we need to plan for any par-ticular variation from the climate and weather pat-terns of the past year.”

Mark Seeley was interviewed by The Land inDecember 2015. ❖

Making a total switch fromconventional tillage to striptillage on 3,500 acres in oneseason may seem like a boon-doggle. And Brian Ryberg, ofRyberg Farms in BuffaloLake, Minn., won’t have datauntil harvest next fall to ver-ify his wisdom, or lack thereof.

But at this stage Ryberg is confi-dent, even excited that he and hiswife Sandy made the right decision ina “sit down, let’s talk” conference inthe kitchen of their Sibley Countyfarm home. He admits they were a bituncomfortable in those first discus-sions. But the more they talked andstudied, the more they felt they wereheading in the right direction.

“We started doing some seriouslooking at what we were doing to thesoil structure of our farmland. Wesimply decided we were going the

wrong way,” said Ryberg.Five years of continuous corn

in 22-inch rows, though theyalso grow sugar beets thus the22-inch width, was their his-tory lesson. Then a few rows ofcorn that got planted into asmall patch of grasslandhelped ease the decision.

“An accident by chance opened oureyes. We had taken down a grove andsome pasture land. We plantedthrough that piece and couldn’t figureout why the corn was so much taller inthe pasture land than where we hadbeen farming conventionally for 50years,” said Ryberg.

“We started thinking about what’sgoing on in these two environmentsand what the cost savings might be ifwe changed tillage systems. We weremaking lots of trips across our fieldsand just causing more compaction.”

Here’s what the Rybergs were doing

— running a Wishek Disc after a chop-ping corn head followed by a ripper toget a good black surface, both for theircontinuous corn fields and corn goingto sugar beets. Then before planting afield cultivator to prepare a smooth,level seed bed. Lots of field trips withlots of equipment so time for a change.

“We’ve switched to a strip till, singlepass machine called the Soil Warrior.Our total field hours went from 430hours with two, 4-wheel drive tractorsdown to 210 hours with one 4-wheeldrive tractor,” said Ryberg. “This rigmakes the tilled strips plus applies fer-tilizer so essentially both jobs on onepass. And that’s it. Next spring we’reready to plant.”

And check the new fuel economy.

“This fall we were using six-tenths ofa gallon diesel fuel per acre comparedwith almost five gallons per acre withour conventional rigs,” said Ryberg.“That was both a tremendous surpriseand recognition that we were makingway too many trips across our fields.”New routine

At Ryberg Farms, the yearly crop-ping program involves 2,200 acres con-tinuous corn, 600 acres of sugar beetsand 700 acres of soybeans. Soils aremostly silty clay loams kept welldrained through an extensive patterntiled system.

The residue issue in 22-inch rows isnot an issue on the soybean and beetground, noted Ryberg.

“Corn stalks however can be a chal-lenge. The Warrior has a deep cogwheel that handles trash better andmoves more dirt. The tillage action ofthis cog wheel mixes trash into the rowcenter building an 8-inch wide and 3-to-4-inch tall berm in the process.Trash wheels on our planter do thefine tuning that might be needed,” heexplained.

Soil Warriors are made by Environ-mental Tillage Systems in Faribault,

TILLAGE, from pg. 12AMinn. With a machine that both tills and fertilizesyour soils, these rigs are $300,000 for the 24-rowunit purchased by Ryberg Farms.

“We did some research. Lots of brands in thisstrip till equipment but very few with 22-inch rowsso this one seemed to be the Cadillac. The fact thatit’s built in Minnesota we think is a plus too. Quickservice and any questions readily answered,” saidRyberg.

Going forward he estimates a $90,000 yearly sav-ings in fuel, labor, and fertilizer costs, plus ongoingimprovements in soil structure, which Ryberg saysare priceless but vital to the future sustainability ofrow crop farming.

The Ryberg’s Soil Warrior came with a fertilizertank so feeding and tillage is a one-trip deal. Theyplant with either a 24-row or 36-row planter. They

use an RTK power steering system and strip andplant between the old rows.

“It works like a charm,” said Ryberg.They did a trial run last spring with a leased Soil

Warrior on 200 acres of sugarbeet stubble. This fallwhen strip tilling for next year’s corn they alsoapplied between 50 and 70 pounds of urea in thestrip along with variable rates of P and K rangingfrom 75 to 350 pounds per acre. Because their fields

are mapped and soil tested, their Soil Warrior is setup to handle variable fertilizer applications on thego.

Next spring when planting they’ll do a weed andfeed program which includes 50 pounds of 28 percentN and Verdict herbicide to kick start the corn. Thenthey can side dress additional applications asneeded.

Ryberg estimates $90,000 yearly savings in costs

Brian Rybergused the SoilWarrior to striptill and fertilizehis field in onepass at his fam-ily farm in Buf-falo Lake, Minn.

TILLAGE, from pg. 14AThey’re not yet into variable rate

populations, but it may be added totheir agenda soon as they have thetools to go that route. With the need totrim input costs, variable rates on bothfertilizer and seed are inevitable.

Ryberg said he is intrigued with thisnew technology working its way intocrop production. And he has two greatguys on his crew that understandthese electronic tools.

“They set it up for me and I can thenrun it too but they are the head startguys on these new systems,” Rybergsaid.

The equipment lineup for RybergFarms is down to the Soil Warrior fortillage and fertilizer; two planters, aJohn Deere combine with 12-row headand only one 530 hp John Deere trac-tor. That sugar beet crop also needs a

defoliator and 12-row lifter. What hap-pens to the rest of the equipment thatused to fill up their 80 by 150 footmetal machine shed each fall? Some ofit is already sold.

“We have a disc ripper that we’llhang on to because we also do somecustom work. And we still have a fieldcultivator just in case,” noted Ryberg.

Brian and Sandy Ryberg own thefarming corporation which alsoincludes commercial trucking in 48states with the same rigs hauling beetseach fall. They have two long-term

guys that cover all the bases in thisproductive and efficient operation.

“We feel good about this. We thinkwe did it for all the right reasons, themost important being rebuilding oursoils,” said Ryberg. “Yes, neighborsare watching and so are we! One ofmy biggest naysayers recently askedif we could do some strip tillage forhim too.”

Grain AnglesChallenging

times When talking to producers who farmed in the

1980s you’ll likely hear about: interest rates, lowcommodity prices, declining land values (resulting insome consolidation.) Consistent with agriculture’scyclical nature, today we are again facing a com-pressed margin environment in grain and livestockmarkets. The difference is that many producers havelearned from history and theirdebt-to-equity and debt toassessed ratios are better than inprevious market downturns.

Agriculture is a commoditybusiness and that means pricesand returns are volatile. Thecrude oil market is a prime exam-ple of this, with prices around onethird of what they were just ayear and a half ago. News of oilcompany bankruptcies arebecoming somewhat common.Fortunately, at this point, we arenot hearing much about a greatmany agricultural operations folding. However, whentalking to area farmers, most tend to agree there is astorm brewing on some farms. Managing risk likecrop inputs, commodity price swings, and financial ordebt management continues to be essential for anysuccessful farm.

The excellent yields in the upper Midwest havehelped hold balance sheets in the black and incomesfrom assuming large losses. This is not the case whenyou go to the eastern Corn Belt in states like Indianaand Ohio, where farmers there are dealing withbelow Actual Production History yields and signifi-cantly lower prices. Are we prepared for a loweryields at today’s prices? For many the answer mightbe no. Farmers realize they cannot control prices.Some of the most interesting conversations with

Grain OutlookContract lows set

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing Jan. 8.

CORN — Welcome to 2016! I hope this findseveryone healthy, happy, and looking forward to agreat new year! The grain markets got off to a rockystart with a sharp push lower on the first tradingday of 2016 with funds heavy sellers. New contractlows were set late in the weekas prices trended lower; $3.481⁄2 per bushel in the nearbyMarch contract, $3.60 1⁄4 perbushel in the July, and $3.74 1⁄2per bushel in the new cropDecember contract.

A plethora of U.S. Departmentof Agriculture reports will bereleased on Tuesday, Jan. 12,including the final 2014-15 cropreport, December 1 stocks, andrefreshed 2015-16 balancesheets. The average estimatesfor the 2014-15 crop year includea yield of 169.2 bushels per acre, production at13.646 billion bushels and ending stocks of 1.785 bil-lion bushels. The December ending stocks were1.785 billion bushels. The ending stocks numbers forboth corn and soybeans, if the estimates prove cor-rect, will be the highest ever for Dec. 1. Corn stocksas of Dec. 1 are forecast at 11.237 billion bushels vs.11.211 billion bushels last Dec. 1. Corn productionin Argentina is projected at 25.64 million metrictons (25.60 in December) and for Brazil 81.33 mmt(81.50 mmt in December). World corn ending stocksare expected to be 212.1 mmt, up slightly fromDecember’s 211.85 mmt.

Weekly export sales were a marketing year low ata dismal 10 million bushels and the second lowest

Livestock AnglesVolatility is back

The holiday markets that seemed slow are nowover and the volatility for the most part is back in thelivestock markets. This particularly true in the cattlecomplex and will likely continue for the foreseeablefuture. The hog appears to be a bit more benign butthe volatility could increase in the weeks and monthsahead for this market.

It would appear that the recov-ery rally in the cattle market hascome to an end after the first fullweek in January. During therecent recovery cash pricesjumped as well as the cutout val-ues and the futures prices. How-ever, the first full week in Janu-ary ended with the futuresmarket posting a weekly reversaland cash cattle trading lowerthan the previous week.

An interesting fact that duringthis recovery that started justbefore the Christmas holiday, thecash price paid for cattle rallied over $17 per hun-dredweight and the beef cutout rallied over $40/cwt.in a very short period of time. The fact that the pricesprobably overextended on the downside, have nowovercompensated on the upside. This still reflectsthe major problem affecting the cattle market, whichis the battle between supply and demand. Obviouslythe supply of cattle is still a concern. However asreflected in the recent rally as the beef cutout rapidlymoved higher the demand continued to shrinkreflecting a slowing in demand at higher prices. Withthe competitive meats at much lower values on apound per pound basis, beef should continue to strug-gle until there is more parity in price. With a flayingeconomy worldwide, this does not bode well fordemand for beef in the larger picture.

JAN’15 FEB MAR APR MAY JUNE JULY AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC. JAN.

NYSTROM, from pg. 18Aweekly sales number of the market-ing year. This compares to Brazil’srecord corn exports in December of 6.27 mmt, wellabove December 2014 exports of 3.41 mmt. Therewere also rumors this week that Brazil was sellingcorn into South Africa where they are suffering theirworst drought in 20 years. This makes it easy tounderstand why our corn exports continue to floun-der. Our exports were the second lowest in 40 yearsfor the September through November time slot. U.S.corn exports are 25 percent behind last year whenthe USDA is anticipating a 6 percent year-on-yeardecline. We need to average 29 million bushels ofsales per week to hit the current 1.75 billion bushelexport forecast. Traders’ expectations for the USDAreport includes a cut in exports.

The November monthly census report released onJan. 4 indicated corn used for ethanol was 435 mil-lion bushels, slightly higher than last year’s 434 mil-lion bushels. Also in the report, sorghum used forethanol was 10 million bushels vs. 3.7 millionbushels last November. Weekly ethanol productionwas the third highest ever, up 4,000 barrels per dayweek over week at 996,000 barrels per day or 293million gallons per week. Ethanol stocks jumpedfrom 847 million gallons to 886 million gallons, thebiggest single week gain since January 2015.

Also in the news as 2016 got into full swing wasNorth Korea’s successful test of some type of nuclearweapon. It was thought to be a hydrogen bomb.Weapon experts disputed North Korea’s claims, say-ing the explosion measured similar to previoustests. Preliminary trading on the news supportedthe U.S. dollar and put pressure on commodities.

OUTLOOK: For the week, March corn fell 1 3⁄4cents to close at $3.57 per bushel, July was off 1 1⁄2cents at $3.69 while the December was unchanged at$3.83 per bushel. The contract low in the March con-tract at $3.48 1⁄2 is first support, then $3.46 3⁄4 perbushel. Expectations are for the January crop reportto lean to the negative side. Outside factors includinga strong U.S. dollar, weak global economics and globalcompetition are all contributors to a weak outlook. Becareful of possible short-covering rallies with fundsholding near record short positions and the shortest

since November 2013. If it occurs, beready to reward the market as it maybe short-lived. A report from the Uni-

versity of Illinois said there was a “significant chanceof 2016 corn harvest prices below $3.00.”

SOYBEANS — Soybeans began 2016 on a sournote with losses across the board. Significant fundselling, beneficial rain in South America and a div-ing Chinese stock market were major factors in thedecline. March soybeans avoided a new contract low($8.47 contract low), but just barely when it fell to$8.52 per bushel at mid-week. Fund short-coveringwas apparent by the end of the week, pulling thenearby beans into the plus column, but deferred con-tracts closed in the red. Beneficial rainfall in SouthAmerica to close out 2015 lent pressure to the soycomplex, as did poor economic reports from China.This past week is credited with being the wettest incentral and northeastern Brazil, adding yield poten-tial to maturing soybeans. As for China, their stockmarket plummeted 7 percent to begin the week. Thegovernment implemented a market circuit breakertrigger to try and limit market volatility, essentiallyhalting trading for the day if their CSI 300 moves 7percent. However, when the plunge occurred againduring the week and trading was stopped for a sec-ond time, it was decided the stoppage was adding tovolatility and the measure has been discontinueduntil further notice. China’s Producer Price Indexfell for a tenth consecutive month, and their cur-rency, the yuan, continues to devalue.

Weekly soybean export sales were in line withexpectations at 23.5 million bushels, but were thesecond lowest of the marketing year. Year to datesales are running 11 percent behind last year. TheUSDA’s export forecast of 1.715 billion bushelswould be a 7 percent year-on-year decline. The newlyreleased November Fats and Oils report showed165.8 million bushels of soybeans were crushed,down 2.5 percent from the previous month.

Trade estimates for the USDA’s 2014-15 final cropreport include a 48.3 bu./acre yield, production at3.981 billion bushels and ending stocks of 468 mil-lion bushels. On the December crop report, endingstocks were 465 million bushels. December 1 soy-bean stocks are projected at 2.720 billion bushels

compared to 2.528 billion bushels last year. Brazil’sbean production is pegged at 99.29 mmt (100 mmtin December) and Argentina’s at 57.28 mmt (57.0mmt in December). World soybean ending stocksare anticipated to be 82.57 mmt, in-line withDecember’s 82.58 mmt number. Argentina’s govern-ment is predicting their soybean production at 60mmt compared to the last USDA forecast of 57mmt. Argentina has also been disappointed ingrower sales post-export tax cuts. It’s estimated 20mmt of soybeans are still stored in white silo bagsand the extent of their currency devaluation hasn’tbeen big enough to inspire growers to sell heavily.

Crude oil in the week ending Jan. 8 fell to $32.10per barrel, its lowest level since December 2003.World oversupply and weak demand are on-goingpressure points.

OUTLOOK: March soybeans were a penny higherfor the week at $8.65 1⁄4 per bushel, July fell 2 centsto close at $8.74 3⁄4 and November beans dropped 41⁄4 cents to $8.78 1⁄2 per bushel. Looking into thecoming week, the Jan. 2 final crop report for the2014-15 crop, the grain stocks as of Dec. 1, andupdated 2015-16 balance sheets will determine theweek’s price direction. Conab will also release anupdate on Brazil’s soybean production on Jan.12. Barring any report surprises, next support inthe March soybeans is the contract low at $8.47 perbushel, then $8.44 1⁄4 per bushel. Improvedweather in South America, concern over China’seconomics, weak equity markets, in addition to thesame negative influences that are affecting the cornmarket, continue to cast a defensive tone to the soy-bean market. ❖

Soybeans began year with losses across board

LENSING, from pg. 18Afarmers revolve around what farmers are doing thatthey can control. Many growers have already lockedin variables like rent, seed, and fertilizer. Have youthought about locking in inputs for the 2017 cropyear and beyond, or talked to a grain marketingadvisor? If you have multiple year land rent con-tracts have you considered securing a percent ofother costs; for example diesel fuel? If you are onlylocking in land rents and no other inputs or outputsyou are betting land rents will go up, commodityprices will go up, or non-land inputs will come down.

In the end, some of the best inventions were theresult of necessity. The market will continue to leaveopportunities for the most efficient or higher netmargin producers. Hopefully, we have, as an indus-

TEALE, from pg. 18AProducers should be cognizant of these market

conditions and protect inventories as needed.The hog market has quietly begun to turn the cor-

ner as prices both in cash and futures haveadvanced in recent weeks. It would appear that thevalue of pork versus the other competitive meatshas been the driver behind the price advance.Although the advance has not been very sharp, it isshowing stability in the overall hog market. Anexample is the pork cutout has remained nearlyunchanged over the past month and cash hog priceshave increased slightly over that same period.

It seems apparent that at the retail level porkprices has captured the public interest because ofthe value in comparison the other sources of pro-tein. Based upon recent USDA Reports, hog num-bers are adequate to meet this rising demand forpork, which should help to stabilize the hog market.The only concern would be the poor economic out-look for 2016. This could have a bearing on futurehog prices which could be detrimental to any fur-ther advancement in prices. Therefore producersshould continue to monitor market conditions andprotect inventories as warranted. ❖

MIELKE, from p. 20U.S., is down from 85.77cents last time, and thewhole milk powder average, at $1.0023per pound U.S., is down from $1.0453per pound in the last event. CMEGrade A nonfat dry milk price closed at73 1/4-cents per pound.

Speaking of the world market, U.S.exports in November totaled just$377.3 million. This is down 24 percentfrom the previous year and the lowestfigure in nearly five years, reports theU.S. Dairy Export Council’s Alan Levittin his first blog of 2016. “Shipments ofnonfat dry milk/skim milk powder andlactose continued to track slightlyhigher than the previous year, butcheese and whey exports have falleninto a lower gear. Sales of butterfat,WMP and MPC have dwindled to negli-gible levels,” he said.

■

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’slatest National Milk Cost of Productionreport shows November’s total costswere down from October and Novem-ber 2014. Total feed costs averaged$11.19/cwt., down 72 cents from Sep-tember, down 64 cents from October,and $1.92 below November 2014. Pur-chased feed costs, at $6.01/ cwt., weredown 71 cents from the Septemberlevel, down 50 cents from October, and$1.30 below November 2014. Totalcosts, including feed, bedding, market-ing, fuel, repairs, hired labor, taxes,etc., at $23.20/cwt., were down 59 centsfrom September, down 68 cents fromOctober, and $1.76 below a year ago.Feed costs made up 48.2 percent oftotal costs in November down from49.5 percent the month before anddown from 52.5 percent a year ago.

Cash dairy product prices took someearly losses in the first full week of2016 and Class III futures erased alllevels above $16/cwt. The peak, as ofThursday’s settlements, fell to just$15.95 in October. There was a great

deal of uncertainty inmarkets this week.

Global stocks tumbledlower after Chinese stock market trad-ing was suspended for the second timethis week, following a 7 percentdecline.

The cheddar blocks closed Jan. 8 at$1.46 per pound, down 4.75 cents onthe week and 13 cents below a yearago. The cheddar barrels finished at$1.54, up a penny on the week, a half-cent below a year ago, and 8 centsabove the blocks. Two cars of blocktraded hands this week and nine ofbarrel.

Midwest cheese manufacturers areresuming regular schedules followingthe holidays, according to Dairy MarketNews. Production is active with dis-counted milk available into next week.Although having Christmas and NewYears on Friday this year cut intorestaurant sales, cheese makers sayfood service demand has been rela-tively good. Domestic retail demand isalso strong. Mozzarella demand is pick-ing up as pizza companies resume pro-duction and push a little more inadvance of the football playoffs andSuper Bowl.

With the major winter holidayspassed and many school sessionsresuming, some additional milk isbeing diverted into bottling. Westernmilk is also readily available and man-ufacturers are choosing to make cheesewith it. Cheese demand has remainedrelatively good but inventories arebuilding, DMN says.

Spot butter saw more meltdown thisweek but it inched back up a quarter-cent Friday, to close at $2.0350 perpound, down 4.5 cents on the week but49.5 cents above a year ago. Twentyone cars traded hands on the week atthe CME.

Butter production in the Centralregion is active, according to DMN.Cream is plentiful and with additional

milk clearing into bottled uses, highercream volumes are spinning off of stan-dardizing operations. Butter manufac-turers report interest is flat to lowerfrom retailers, but food service demandis steady. There is some concern thatFirst Quarter needs were prefilled inDecember when prices were lower.Thus, new butter sales may lag in early2016, DMN warned. Western buttermakers felt less urgency to make but-ter this week now that the holidayshave passed. Production is still active,but has slowed to match the reduced,post-holiday, domestic butter demand.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closedFriday at 73.25 cents per pound, down2.25 cents on the week and 26.75 centsbelow a year ago, with 13 carloadstraded this week at the CME.

You’ll recall that preliminary USDAdata showed November milk produc-tion totaled 15.6 billion pounds, up just0.6 percent from November 2014.USDA’s latest Dairy Products reportshows where that milk went and did-n’t. Total cheese output hit 975.5 mil-lion pounds, down 2.2 percent fromOctober but 0.6 percent above a yearago. Year to date production, at 10.7

billion pounds, was up 2.3 percentfrom a year ago.

California vats produced 201.4 mil-lion pounds of cheese, down 1.3 per-cent from a year ago while Wisconsinoutput, at 251.9 million pounds, wasup 4.0 percent..

Butter churns produced 150.8 mil-lion pounds, up 2.2 percent from Octo-ber and 4.4 percent above a year ago.Year to date output totaled 1.7 billionpounds, down 0.9 percent. Californiabutter output, at 45.5 million pounds,was up 9 percent from October but 3.9percent below a year ago.

HighGround Dairy’s Eric Meyerpointed out that November butter pro-duction turned positive vs. last yearafter being lower in October. “This wasthe largest monthly percentage gain(on daily average basis) between Octo-ber and November since 2011 and atplus 4.4 percent, the highest YOYgrowth since December 2014.” Headds that while California butter out-put was down 3.9 percent or 1.9 mil-lion pounds from a year ago, collec-tively, Washington, Oregon, Idaho andArizona saw production skyrocket, up7.7 million pounds or 32 percent overNovember 2014.

Nonfat dry milk production totaled126.1 million pounds, up 6.7 percentfrom October, 16.9 percent below ayear ago, with year to date output at1.7 billion pounds, up 4.1 percent.Skim milk powder totaled 44.1 millionpounds, up a whopping 44.1 percentfrom a year ago, with year to date out-put at 404.5 million pounds, down19.2 percent from 2014. California’snonfat dry milk output was down 21.6percent from a year ago.

MARKETINGWestern butter makersfelt less urgency tomake butter this weeknow that the holidayshave passed. Produc-tion is still active, buthas slowed to matchthe reduced, post-holi-day, domestic butterdemand.

MIELKE, from p. 21The report also shows November

nonfat dry milk stocks at 200.5 mil-lion pounds, up 11.3 percent from October but 8.4percent below those a year ago.

■

Eric Meyer wrote that “On the surface, cheese pro-duction appeared somewhat neutral versus High-Ground’s expectations. November production canswing above or below October on a daily averagebasis, and American, cheddar and total cheese all fellwithin normal ranges. But what turned up bearishon these statistics was the 5 million pound upward(up 1.8 percent) revision in October’s Cheddar pro-duction data.”

“Digging deeper into the data, the entire Octoberrevision can be attributed to the Atlantic region. TheEast Coast represents just 8.4 percent of the coun-try’s total Cheddar production, but 5 million poundsof unaccounted cheese is enough to add more to thebalance sheet which will keep a bearish tone in themarket.”

"Cheese is the big driver of milk prices," according

to University of Wisconsin EmeritusProfessor, Dr. Robert Cropp. The U.S.uses about 50 percent of its milk for

cheese, Cropp told Wisconsin Public Radio, while weonly drink about 25 percent. As I reported last week,U.S. cheese consumption is at an all-time high butstill lags per capita consumption of several othercountries. So any time U.S. cheese consumption canbe grown, it helps support farm milk prices.

We talked about one of those ways in Friday’sDairyLine with Brent Charleton, Vice President ofEnWave Corporate Affairs in Vancouver, BritishColumbia. Charleton developed a new cheese snackcalled Moon Cheese that’s crunchy and about thesize of popcorn.

Moon Cheese has exploded eastward as far as NewYork. It is now featured by Starbucks corporate cof-fee chains.

In dairy politics, a joint press release this weekfrom the National Milk Producers Federation, theInternational Dairy Foods Association, Milk Proces-sor Education Program, and the National DairyCouncil praised the final version of the 2015 federalDietary Guidelines for Americans. The groups statethe guidelines “affirms the vital, unrivaled contribu-tion made by dairy foods, and reminds Americansthat they will continue to benefit from three dailyservings of low-fat and fat-free dairy.”

“The DGA notes that current intakes of dairy foodsfor most Americans ‘are far below recommendationsof the Healthy U.S.-Style Pattern,’ and they call for ashift to consume more dairy products. Milk, cheeseand yogurt are important answers to the question ofhow Americans should change their diets for the bet-ter,” the press release stated.

“As America strives to create a culture of wellness,the 2015 DGA embraces flexibility to help peoplebuild and enjoy healthy eating patterns that willnourish them physically, while also nourishing cul-tural and personal connections. Regardless of one’spath to a healthy diet, three daily servings of low-fator fat-free dairy foods like milk, cheese or yogurt canplay an important role in healthy eating and well-being, from childhood through adulthood,” the DGAstates.

Dietary Guidelines affirm dairy foods


Even the potential of cutting costs by$100 per acre likely won’t create aprofit opportunity for corn and soy-beans in 2016 according to GarySchnitkey Ph.D., University of IllinoisFarm Management specialist. This cre-ates an interesting scenario on profitchallenges facing producers.

“Many farms are financially strongand can withstand financial adver-sity,” he said. “However if costs are notcut and low commodity prices con-tinue, financial problems in the grainsector are inevitable.”

Using 200 bushel yields and $872per acre production costs for corn in2016, significant increases in corn andsoybean prices are the quick and easysolution. Schnitkey offered threeresponses to whether higher commod-ity prices could save the day.

First, the current $3.75 corn price isa reasonable expectation for sales on2016 production. Futures markets sug-gest this cash price.

Second, corn and soybean prices

might increase for 2016 production.After all, price swings are not unusual.However, the price increase will haveto be large. The proposed 2016 budgetcontains a $3.75 corn price resulting in$800 gross revenue, with $50 comingfrom Agriculture Risk Coverage pay-ments. An increase to $4 would resultin $800 crop revenue (200 bushel x $4).However, ARC payments will likely bezero dollars per acre. As a result, a $4corn price results in roughly the samegross revenue as a $3.75 price factor-ing in the reduction in ARC payments.

A $4.20 price results in $840 grossrevenue but that is still below totalcosts. Corn price has to be above $4.36to cover $872 production costs. That$4.36 price does not seem likely at thispoint.

Third, prices in the $3.75 range arenot new. Farmers likely averaged near$3.70 for 2014 production. Given cur-rent expectations, much of 2015 pro-duction would be sold at below $4prices. Therefore, 2016 could be thethird year of sub-$4 corn prices. Hence,cutting 2016 costs is not ahead of rev-

enue reduction curve but a reaction ofthe third year of lower prices.Cutting costs

Schnitkey has evaluated the realityand challenge of cutting costs by $100per acre.

While cost reductions can comesolely from cash rent, this is not popu-lar among landowners. Schnitkeypointed out that many landownershave noted the need to reduce costs,but question why those cost reductionsnecessarily have to come from cashrent.

Many non-land costs also increasedfrom 2006 through 2013. Schnitkeynoted that many non-land costsincreased, often proportionately morethan cash rent. He listed cost increasesfor corn grown in central Illinois from2006 to 2014 were:

1. Machinery depreciation — 230percent from $20 per acre in 2006 to$66 per acre in 2014;

2. Seed — 164 percent increasefrom $55 per acre in 2006 to $119 peracre in 2014;

3. Crop insurance — 145 per-cent increase from $11 per acre in2006 to $27 per acre in 2014;

4. Drying — 109 percentincrease from $8 per acre in 2006 to$23 per acre in 2014;

5. Fertilizer — 98 percentincrease from $82 per acre in 2006 to$163 per acre in 2014;

6. Cash rent — 95 percentincrease from $150 in 2006 to $294 in2014.

According to Schnitkey the extent towhich non-land costs decrease likelydepend on two items: the ability offarmers to postpone or reduce pur-chases thereby putting pressure oninput suppliers to lower prices andthe competitiveness of firms withineach agricultural supply industry.

“However no matter what happensto non-land costs, sizeable reductionsare needed in cash rents to put corninto a profit scenario in 2016,” saidSchnitkey.

The 49th enrollment period for theGeneral Conservation Reserve Pro-gram began on Dec. 1, 2015, and con-tinues through Feb. 26 at local U.S.Department of Agriculture Farm Ser-vice Agency offices throughout thecountry. The last General CRP sign-upperiod was in 2013. There appears tobe more interest in the CRP enroll-ment in 2016, due to the current lowercrop prices and reduced farm prof-itability. Currently, there are over630,000 CRP contracts in place onover 350,000 farms, with just over23.4 million acres under some type ofCRP contract.

In December, 2015, USDA celebratedthe 30th anniversary of the CRP pro-gram, and three decades of conserva-tion success. The CRP program wasdeveloped as part of the 1985 farm billand was established by USDA on Dec.23, 1985. CRP has been the largestand most important conservation pro-gram in the United States since thattime. CRP continues to make majorcontributions to national efforts toimprove water and air quality, preventsoil erosion, protect environmentally

sensitive land, and enhancewildlife populations, Some ofthe benefits of the CRP pro-gram over the past threedecades recently cited byUSDA include:

• CRP protects more than170,000 stream miles withgrass buffers and riparianforests, which is enough tocircle the world seven times.

• CRP has prevented morethan 9 billion tons of soilerosion since 1985,which is enough to fill600 million dumptrucks.

• Each year, CRP has reduced nitro-gen runoff on tilled cropland by 95 per-cent, and has reduced phosphorusrunoff by 85 percent.

• CRP has created nearly 2.7 millionacres of restored wetlands.

• CRP helps enhance populations ofducks, pheasants, quail, and otherwildlife species.

• CRP has resulted in the sequestra-

tion of an annual average of49 million tons of green-house gases, which is equiv-alent to taking about 9 mil-lion cars off the road.

• CRP provides over $1.7billion per year to privatelandowners, which are dol-lars that help support localbusinesses and the localeconomy.

As of November 2015,there was a total of just

over 23.4 million acresenrolled in the CRPprogram, which is down

from near 27 million acres in 2013,over 31 million acres in 2009, and over36.8 million in 2007. Currently, thereare just under 17 million acres underGeneral CRP contracts, 5 million acresunder Continuous CRP contracts, 1.1million acres under ConservationReserve Enhancement Program con-tracts, and 380,000 acres in theFarmable Wetland program. The maxi-mum number of CRP acres enrolled atany one time has been reduced in eachof the last two farm bills, with the 2014farm bill setting the maximum acres inthe CRP program at 24 million acres.

CRP contracts will expire on just over1.65 million acres on Sept. 30, 2016.This includes 92,409 acres in Min-nesota, 99,645 acres in Iowa, 58,712acres in South Dakota, 44,595 acres inNorth Dakota, and 22,885 acres in Wis-consin. Nationally, slightly over 2.5million contracted CRP acres willexpire in 2017, and nearly 1.5 millionacres in 2018.

Enrollment periods for the GeneralCRP program only occur when USDAdeems necessary to try to attract addi-tional crop acres into the CRP pro-gram, in order to maintain the desiredCRP acreage. Sign-up for the Continu-ous CRP program is on-going, and islikely to continue that way for the fore-seeable future. The Continuous CRPprogram targets the most sensitiveenvironmental land areas, such as fil-ter strips, buffer strips, wetlands, etc.The Conservation Reserve Enhance-ment Program (CREP) program is aCRP partnership with state Conserva-tion Programs, which target specificwatersheds, which includes severalCREP programs in Minnesota.

The average CRP land rental rate inthe United States in 2015 was about$70 per acre, with an average of $51per acre on General CRP acres, $114per acre on Continuous CRP acres, and$144 per acre on CREP acres. CRPrental rates vary widely from state tostate, and within different regions of agiven state.

The current average CRP rental ratein Minnesota is $95 per acre, with anaverage of $70 per acre on GeneralCRP acres, and $118 per acre on Con-tinuous CRP acres. Most CRP annualland rental rates in southern Min-nesota are considerably higher thanthe state average rate. Some other cur-rent average CRP rental rates for Mid-western States are Iowa at $181 peracre, South Dakota at $82 per acre,North Dakota at $45 per acre, and Wis-consin at $111 per acre.

General CRP enrollment continues through February

FARM PROGRAMS

By Kent Thiesse

THIESSE, from pg. 24ADetails on current 2016 CRPenrollment period

The enrollment period for the current General CRPsign-up at local USDA FSA offices ends on Feb. 26,2016. Landowners submit CRP bids on the acres thatare desired to be enrolled into the CRP program,which are then evaluated by USDA to determinewhich acres are accepted.

Following are some things to consider regardingpotential enrollment into the General CRP program:

• Both new crop land acres and current CRP acresthat expire on Sept. 30, 2016 may be offered forenrollment into the General CRP program duringthis sign-up period.

• Producers with existing CRP contracts that areexpiring in 2016 will have no preferential status forkeeping their land in the CRP program after thisyear, and must re-submit a new CRP bid to be re-enrolled in the CRP program.

• To be eligible for CRP, any land being offeredmust have been owned or operated by the currentland owner for at least 12 months, except for specialcircumstances outlined by FSA.

• Any new crop land being offered for CRP musthave been planted, or considered planted, to an agri-cultural commodity in four of the six crop years from2008 to 2013.

• Land offered for enrollment must have aweighted average erosion index of 8 or higher, be

land from an expiring CRP contract,or be located in a CRP conservationpriority area.

• New CRP contracts for 2016 are for 10 or 15years, and will be initiated on Oct. 1, 2016, withannual rental payments taking place in October eachyear.

• Landowners may also receive cost-share assis-tance up to 50 percent of the costs to establishapproved cover crops and practices on CRP acres.

• FSA will rank all bid offers for the General CRPenrollment on the basis of the Environmental Bene-fits Index. The EBI is used to target the most envi-ronmentally sensitive land with the accepted CRPenrollment bids.

Following are the EBI factors used by FSA to eval-uate CRP contract offers:

• Water quality benefits from reduced erosion,runoff, and leaching.

• Wildlife habitat benefits from land covers on CRPcontract acreage.

• On-farm benefits from reduced soil erosion.• Air quality benefits from reduced wind erosion.• Benefits that will likely endure beyond the CRP

contract period.• Cost per acre for the CRP rental contract.

The last General CRP sign-up was in 2013, whena total of 1,271 CRP bids were submitted in Min-nesota, and 985 bids were accepted. There were25,609 total acres in Minnesota accepted under the2013 General CRP sign-up. As of November 2015,there were a total of 54,476 CRP contracts in placein Minnesota, with a total of just over 1.1 millionacres. Just over 530,000 acres are under a GeneralCRP contract, and slightly over 582,000 acres wereunder a continuous CRP contract.

USDA adjusts the maximum annual CRP rentalrates for Continuous CRP sign-up each year on acounty-by-county basis, which are also used as themaximum CRP rates for General CRP enrollmentperiod in a given year. The maximum rental ratesare based on the relative productivity of the soilswithin each county, as well as on the average dryland cash rental rate for each county, based on theNational Agriculture Statistics Service annual landrental analysis. Landowners are provided the maxi-mum allowable CRP rental rate prior to making adecision to submit a General CRP bid.

Landowners and producers may offer land for apotential General CRP contract at the maximumCRP rental rate, or may choose to lower the rentalrate that is offered. Lowering the rental rate in theCRP bid below the maximum allowable rental rate

New CRP contracts take effect for 10 or 15 years

NOTES: CRP data is from the 45th General CRP Sign-up Period in 2013.2014 Cash Rent data is from the University of Minnesota Extension 2015Cash Rental Rate Summary, based on Farm Business Management data.Counties listed in this Table had cash rental data listed in the U of M Summary, and had at least 5acres of new land accepted into CRP in 2013.

• Table was prepared by Kent Thiesse, Farm Management Analyst

THIESSE, from pg. 25Amay increase the likelihoodof acceptance of the CRPoffering, since land cost is one of thefactors considered by USDA inapproving CRP contracts. The Tablecompares the average per acre CRPbid accepted in the 2013 General CRPsign-up to the average 2014 cashrental rate for crop land (based onUniversity of Minnesota data) for sev-eral counties across Minnesota.

For more information on the currentGeneral CRP sign-up, or on Continu-ous CRP enrollment, land owners andproducers should contact their localFSA Office, or go to the USDA CRPweb site:http://www.fsa.usda.gov/crpImpact of Minnesota’s New BufferLaw

In 2015, a newBuffer Law was

initiated in Min-nesota by the State Legislature, andsigned into law by the Governor. Thelaw calls for buffer strips of a minimumof 16.5 feet along all public ditches,which includes most agriculturedrainage ditches in the state, as well asbuffer areas that average 50 feet nearpublic waters, such as rivers.

Buffer strips generally qualify underboth the General and Continuous CRPprograms, which would allow producersto receive some compensation for up to15 years on the acres that are takenout of production to implement therequired buffer strips. Many landown-ers may prefer to enroll in the Continu-ous CRP program, since no biddingprocess would be involved. The CREPprogram may also apply; however, this

would require the land to be perma-nently taken out of production, andwould limit the CRP payments to 15years, without the chance for re-enroll-ment after the current CRP contractexpires.

Producers should be aware that theCRP program requires buffer strips to

be a minimum of 30 feet in width,which exceeds the minimum 16.5 footrequirement under the new MinnesotaBuffer Law for many producers withagriculture drainage ditches. Livestockproducers should also be aware thathaying and grazing of buffer strips isnot allowed on CRP acres, except whenemergency declarations occur. Produc-ers and landowners should contacttheir local Soil and Water ConservationDistrict office for details on how thevarious CRP program options mayinteract with implementation of Min-nesota’s new Buffer Law.

Salty or sweet? This time of year, it barely mat-

ters; you’ve had your hands inbowlfuls of both in the past fewweeks. How could you resist? Theoffice lunchroom was rarely empty,bakers practiced their hobbies onyou, and it all tasted so good. Inthe new book “The Dorito Effect”by Mark Schatzker, you’ll find outwhy.

This year, you’ve resolved to loseweight again. It’s the same resolu-tion you had last year, and for thepast five years but for some rea-son, you just can’t — nor can 90million of your neighbors. But thefault might not be entirely yours.

Look at cookbooks from the turnof the last century, Schatzker says, andyou may notice that people used spices,but not much and not always; in manycases, only salt and pepper were recom-mended. The reason was that a recipe’smain ingredient itself was filled withflavor, which isn’t often the case today.

Over the decades, because farmsneeded to feed more people (and makemore money), livestock was geneticallymade to grow faster. They range less,too, and since chicken, pigs, and cows

are what they eat, our meat is blanderthan it was even half a century ago; thesame goes for many fruits and vegeta-bles. So it’s not your imagination: foodreally doesn’t taste the same as it oncedid.

Then where did the goodness in lastnight’s dinner come from?

Chances are, says Schatzker, it camefrom a laboratory.

Beginning with snack food in the1960s, scientists have understood that

you can make almost anything tastelike something else — or you canenhance its taste by adding flavors.Our palates are hungry for those fla-vors, which are as addicting astobacco; in fact, tobacco can be fla-vored. Schatzker calls it “The DoritoEffect”; it’s “what happens when foodgets blander and flavor technologygets better.”

It’s how a corn chip can taste likesalad dressing, how many restaurantscan offer a large menu and serve itquickly, and it can explain why we eatthings that are bad for us.

It also makes nutrition a lie, which

‘The Dorito Effect’ makes you think before munching

THE BOOKWORMSEZ

By Terri Schlichenmeyer

“The Dorito Effect:The Surprising NewTruth About Food andFlavor” by Mark Schatzkerc.2015, Simon &Schuster$27.00 / $32.50Canada 261 pages

See BOOKWORM, pg. 28A

BOOKWORM, from pg. 27A“may be the most compelling lie humans have evertold.”

When I first saw the cover of “The Dorito Effect,” Iwanted to raid my pantry. Now, after reading thebook, I’m not so sure. I’m not sure about anything Ieat anymore. This is the kind of book that makesyou call someone up and read passages aloud

because it’s so shocking — even though there areparts that you might already know (or sense). Yes,it’s complicated, but author Mark Schatzker makes itreadable through the use of metaphors and food his-tory, and humor that’s wry and sometimes hollow.Still, his final determination to have a meal sansadded flavorings can’t be missed.

If you plan on shopping for food at a grocery store

this year, you’re going to want to read this book. Forfoodies, snackers, noshers, or between-meal nibblers,“The Dorito Effect” might be a better treat.

Look for the reviewed book at a bookstore or alibrary near you. You may also find the book at onlinebook retailers.

The Bookworm is Terri Schlichenmeyer. Terri hasbeen reading since she was 3 years old and never goesanywhere without a book. She lives in Wisconsin withthree dogs and 10,000 books. ❖

I’ve often said the differencebetween my older sister andme is that you could eat off ofher floor and not even thinktwice about it; but you couldeat off of my floor and get full.

For all these years I couldhave blamed it on the fact thatI had more children to cleanup after than she did, or Icould blame it on the farm.

My sister — an immaculateurban housekeeper — used tosecretly leave me notes in the

dusty furniture and wait to see how long it took meto find them. For her it wasn’t a matter of whetheror not she would find the dust; it was simply of mat-ter of where to write the note.

My housekeeping skills were targeted one daywhen our (then) elementary-school-aged daughterasked me what that yellow can was in the cupboard,as she pointed to the furniture polish. Apparentlyshe had never seen me use it. Oh, how ashamed mymother would be.

I made up for my lack of dusting skills by usingmy time to hang our laundry out in that great-smelling country air. That is, when it wasn’t manurehauling day.

Yeesh. I think my nose hairs have all grown backin over the years.

Now we live in a different home and live on thenorth side of a gravel road. That means when peopledrive past the place, the prevailing southwest windsblow the road dirt right into the yard. If conditionsmimic the Sahara and a Siberian-like wind is blow-ing, it looks like the Dust Bowl days here at home.Amana’s Living History Farms has nothing on us.

For us, corn chopping and fall harvest mark theend of open-window season. If we opened the win-dows during that time we could be buried alive rightin our own home.

And as for drying the clothes these days, theydon’t see a clothesline any more than my husbandsees the dentist. The gas company must love ourprevailing winds and dusty gravel roads. At our pre-vious home it was birds with bowel issues that gaveme the most angst about hanging clothes out to dry.

I guess manure of all kinds will find its way ontofarm clothing.

Every year farm women can resolve to stay on topof the house cleaning by doing a little bit every day,but it lasts until her husband needs her help out-side. Often, by the time she comes back in she’s anaccomplice to the dirty crime that is already wellunderway.

But having a spotless house isn’t necessarily atthe top of her list either, because by helping on thefarm, she’s contributing not only to the family busi-

ness, but to something greater — she’s helping toensure that the farm will continue on. So sheresolves all year that she’ll clean the house whenshe has the time.

After all, it’s the world’s next oldest profession ...and boy is it a dirty one. Especially on the farm.

David Okerlund grew up in a rural, Midwestern town of Manchester, Iowawhere as a young teenager he saved up money to go on to college byworking on the town’s garbage route. To this day he still says that, “It wasthe best job I have ever had in my entire career. It taught me more aboutthe value of commitment and endurance than one might ever dare tobelieve.”

From there he went on to Hastings College in Nebraska where he becamea nationally ranked speech and forensic speaker. After graduation hebecame a teacher in Iowa where in his first year he was nominated as theOutstanding Young Speech Educator for the state. After leaving teaching, David became what hecalls a “road toad warrior.” He defines that as a salesperson who can drive over 100,000 miles ayear and still love selling. Shortly after that he became fund development director for a largehospital. And then an administrator for a 350-bed trauma center hospital.

In 1983 David’s speaking abilities gained national attention when he finished in the final threeof the World Championship of Public Speaking; a contest that includes over 20,000 contestantsfrom over 45 different countries. In 1984 David was an instructor at Oxford University where hetaught speech and debate. In 1987, David decided to pursue a speaking career on a full-timebasis.

Today he has a reputation as one of the finest speakers in the United States. He is a memberof the International Hall of Fame for speakers and has shared the platform with American greatslike Bob Hope, Lee Iacocca, Robert Schuller, and others. He taught a masters degree class inorganizational ethics and persuasion at the University of Minnesota.
