These beautiful spring days when thesun is shining, the lilacs in bloom and thecrops coming up are a gift after the windy,dreary weeks sprinkled throughoutMarch and April.

The sunshine is even more welcome inlight of avian flu which we’ve all been fol-lowing in its random spread across Min-nesota turkey farms, Iowa turkey farmsand egg laying operations, then on to Min-nesota egg laying operations.

The sun’s UV rays help kill the H5N2virus. The tallies change daily as I checkboth the Minnesota and Iowa avianresponse websites and read the newsreleases sent regularly sinceMarch 4 in Minnesota and April 14in Iowa. So far, over 27 millionbirds have been affected in Iowaand nearly 8 million in Minnesota.

The good news is the virus seemsto be slowing down, at least inMinnesota.

I talked with John Zimmerman,a Northfield, Minn., turkey pro-ducer whose county and flock havebeen spared thus far.

“We’re all on edge,” he said. “Idon’t know a turkey producer outthere that’s not scared, frankly.”

Then there’s the feeling of help-lessness for growers who watchtheir flocks die from the disease or be euthanized.“It’s devastating to the individual farms that get thisdisease,” Zimmerman said. “My heart goes out tothem.”

Growers are under major stress. In a May 4 articlein the St. Cloud Times, Kirsti Marohn interviewedNancy Carlson, behavioral health preparednessdirector for the Minnesota Department of Health.Trouble concentrating, difficulty sleeping and gettingupset more easily are normal reactions in this situa-tion, said Carlson.

MDH is working with regional health contacts toassess community needs. Some counselors even havefarming experience, noted the Times.

A side-effect of avian flu for poultry producers, aswell as laid-off plant workers, is anxiety and depres-

sion. These conditions are real and canbe just as paralyzing as any physicalailment. I’ve had bouts with depression

and rely on a low-dose antidepres-sant. When I was depressed, Icried a lot; I once cried as I sathugging my knees to my chestbeneath the kitchen counter.Everyday tasks and decisionswere overwhelming.

Friends and family membershave confided in me about anxietythat has caused insomnia, teethgrinding, confusion and physicalpanic symptoms of a racing heartand shortness of breath.

Anxiety disorders are the mostcommon mental illness in theUnited States, affecting 40 mil-lion adults or 18 percent of thepopulation according to the Anxi-

ety and Depression Association of America. Whileanxiety disorder is highly treatable, only one-third ofthose suffering receive treatment.

One risk factor for anxiety is a life event. Oftenanxiety and depression go hand-in-hand.

There should be no shame or stigma in gettingmental health assistance. May is Mental HealthMonth and Mental Health America is encouragingAmericans to treat their mental health early, ratherthan later when symptoms are more severe andrecovery a longer process.

Like any health issue, mental health is best dealtwith early.

OPINION

A side-effect ofavian flu for poultryproducers, as wellas laid-off plantworkers, is anxietyand depression.These conditions arereal and can be justas paralyzing as anyphysical ailment.

Two years ago, the 20thanniversary of this weeklyeffort came and went with-out notice by its founder, edi-tor and office cleaning crew.Two months later, that sameperson finally realized theoversight and, then,promptly forgot it.

This mid-May, however,there is a first-ever — mostlikely, only-time-ever —reminder that 22 years havepassed since three dailynewspapers in central Illi-nois began to print thesemusings. That reminder isa collection of Farm and Food Filecolumns centered on “the southern Illi-nois dairy farm of my youth.”

The book, published by the Univer-sity of Illinois Press, was released onthe column’s anniversary, May 15. Itstitle is as good as any phrase or sen-tence contained in any of the 54columns it holds: “The Land of Milkand Uncle Honey.” (More at http://farmandfoodfile.com/the-land-of-milk-and-

uncle-honey/.)Long-time readers may

remember my great UncleHoney. Honey wasn’t just aparadox; Honey was theperfect paradox. Seated on atractor, there wasn’t animplement, animal or tele-phone pole Honey couldn’tbend, bind or break.Machinery dealers lovedhim; cows and cats fearedhim.

Off a tractor, however,Honey was as peaceful asa June sunrise. He nodded

more than talked, smiled more thanfrowned, and always wore a broad-brimmed hat, never a cap. He was animportant, albeit dangerous, part of mywide-eyed youth.

Thus the book’s clever title; a titleneither Mary Grace Foxwell, my co-author daughter, nor I thought of orlikely ever would have. It comes fromthe hardworking, patient publishingteam at the University of Illinois. Evi-dently they remembered their Old Tes-

tament (Exodus 3:8) better than this1969 graduate of St. John’s LutheranSchool.

While the book is mostly my words, itis Gracie’s triumph. Three years ago,after more than a decade of readerrequests for a book that compiled allthe “southern Illinois” columns, Gracieasked for copies of those pieces. Whencompiled I was astonished to discoverthere were more than 60.

Then Gracie, as good an editor as I’veenjoyed (OK, tolerated) in almost 35years of ag journalism, went to work.She edited each one, sorted all by topicand season, suggested I write a

lengthy, story-behind-the-column pro-logue and she a descriptive, revealingepilogue, and made all presentable topotential publishers.

(And she’s still working; already shehas lined up dozens of book readingsand signings — with dozens more tocome — for us around the nation. Tofind out when and where we’ll be nearyou, visit http://farmandfoodfile.com/author-events/.)

My role, which I fulfilled with greatdiligence, was to stay out of the way.

Within months the good folks at U of IPress, grabbed it. Remarkable as thatseems, it’s completely explainable if youknow the Former Farmboy Corollary.

The Former Farmboy Corollaryholds that whenever two former farm-boys meet, goodwill pours forth. (TheFull-Time Farmer Corollary, on theother hand, states that whenever twofull-time farmers meet, concrete poursforth, usually within 24 hours.)

In the book’s case, the two former

Musings become ‘The Land of Milk and Uncle Honey’

To the Editor:They are some of the worst air pol-

luters in the country and the Environ-mental Protection Agency isn’t doing anythingabout it. Who are they? The 20,000 factory farms inthe United States that are home to billions ofabused animals that are often cramped in smallcages and living in squalid conditions.

The agency has failed to hold these animal facto-ries accountable for polluting the environment, yetthe EPA has known for years that factory farmsrelease industrial air pollution. Two major lawsuitswere launched by a coalition of groups recently —the Center for Food Safety, the Humane Society of

the United States and the Sierra Club— to force the EPA to comply with cur-

rent law and list factory farms as a cate-gory of pollution under the Clean Air Act. For far toolong, the health of animals, farm workers, andAmericans who live near factory farms has been atrisk. The EPA needs to take action now and protectour air from toxic factory farming practices.

Factory farms emit staggering levels of pollutants.While some release as much hydrogen sulfide intothe air as dirty oil refineries, an analysis of EPA’sown data found that other farms release thousandsof pounds of ammonia into the air each day. In addi-tion, factory farms are major sources of dangerous greenhouse gases, including methane and nitrous

oxide, which are major contributors to climatechange.

Also severe are the health effects of working on orliving near a factory farm. Children who live nearfactory farms are more likely to develop asthma onestudy found, and that the high levels of ammoniaemitted by factory farms “can build up in a person’sairways, causing severe coughing and even scarringof the airways” as reported by the Centers for Dis-ease Control and Prevention.

For the EPA to do its job and protect the environ-ment and the public health is long past overdue. It’shigh time for the EPA to regulate toxic air pollutionfrom factory farms nationwide.Brad TromBlooming Prairie, Minn.

Letter: EPA must enforce Clean Air on factory farmsOPINION

GUEBERT, from pg. 3farmboys were — are — Michael Roux, U of IPress’s marketing manager, and me. After readingGracie’s well-prepared manuscript, Roux made thebook a personal project. That was more than a yearago.

Now it’s a reality; 144 pages of stories, photo-graphs, and memories of the people, food, andevents — the culture — of American agriculture 50years ago.

Back then, change was everywhere so we quicklydropped the old to grab as much of the new we could

hold. Along the way, however, my kind, machinery-challenged Uncle Honey and your homegrown noondinner gave way to today’s 24/7 chases for more effi-ciency and more profit.

Both, however, will fade because today, like yester-day, will fade. In its place will rise a new land of milkand Uncle Honey because loving, hardworking peo-ple, simple, great food and the memories both gener-ate will never fade.

The Farm and Food File is published weeklythrough the United States and Canada. Pastcolumns, events and contact information are postedat www.farmandfoodfile.com. ❖

Former farmboys corollary

For far too long, the health of ani-mals, farm workers and Ameri-cans who live near factory farmshas been at risk. The EPA needs totake action now and protect ourair from toxic factory farmingpractices.

“Someone owes me a carwash,” said son-in-law Markas their family made theirway through our front doorfor Sunday dinner. He wastrying to make light of amuddy situation, but we allfelt his frustration. Ourgravel road was muck soup.As the frost heaves swelledso did the mess. And for thesmallest of vehicles, a choicewas non-negotiable. Choose aside of the road or you willget hung up in the middle.

What gravel-swelled roads do to VWbugs is a picture of what fear can do tous. Fear hangs us up and keeps usstuck. It immobilizes. Unable to movein any direction, we sit stagnant. Whenwe process every situation as a worstcase scenario, we chain ourselves tofear and set limits on our life.

Think about it. If you’re afraid of con-flict, your relationships will stay at thesurface, void of depth and meaning. Ifyou’re afraid of failure, you will missout on experiencing success. If you’re

afraid of what people willsay or think, you can’t beauthentic, and others willonly know a shadow of thereal you.

Fear messes with ourminds, destroys our confi-dence, and gives root toinsecurities. It keeps usfretting about the futureinstead of living fully in thepresent. It grounds our lifeon a frost heave, spinningour wheels into a rut of dull

existence.Without reminder, we think twice

before crossing a busy highway, travel-ing in a snowstorm, or accepting anypackages or materials from strangersin an airport. Dangerous situations putour minds on high alert. If only weunderstood how dangerous and debili-tating it is to live in fear!

Fear is not a 21st century problem.Within his book, “10:10 Life to theFullest,” Daniel Hill asks, “What is themost repeated command in the Bible?”Love people? Obey God? Be Kind?

Those are all good and true, but theyare not the most repeated command.

“God’s most frequently repeatedinstruction is formulated in two simplewords: ‘Fear not,’” writes Hill. “Interest-ingly, the command to ‘fear not’ isrepeated in the Bible 365 times — oncefor every day of the year. Obviouslythere’s something pretty significantabout fear!”

Last winter over Saturday morningpancakes at a local diner with our pre-school grandsons, Landon started brag-ging about his dad. “Papa, my dad isstronger than you.” Mike didn’t dis-agree, especially with his crutchespropped against the wall!

“He can lift you,” boasted Landon.“He can lift a car. He can lift thiswhole building!” While Landon elabo-rated on his dad’s strength, this chil-dren’s song popped in my head: “MyGod is so big, so strong and so mighty,there’s nothing my God cannot do —for you!” (Ruth Harms Calkin)

That’s the thing about God. He can-not be exaggerated! He is powerful,mighty, good and strong. He is ourProvider, Healer, Savior, Friend, andKing. His grace is sufficient for you,and His power is made perfect in yourweakness.

And if we have the same childlikeconfidence in our Heavenly Father asLandon does in his earthly dad, fearflees. To live brave is never aboutwhat we can or cannot do. It’s abouttrusting God. There is nothing ourGod cannot do — for you!

Brussels sprouts lovers agree: Any way you cookthem is fine, but some ways are better than others,like this one. First softened in a bath of simmeringwater, then caramelized in butter and seasoned withthe twin zings of lemon juice and capers, thesesprouts are anything but little in the taste depart-ment.

Double Fern Leaf Peony isthe earliest bloomer of thepeonies and is usually showingoff its lipstick red inflorescenceby Memorial Day.

The plants resemble blood-shot green eyeballs when theyemerge in the spring. Thefoliage is different from thefamiliar garden peonies. It isfeathery and looks just like theleaves of cosmos plants.

An established clump canproduce 30 or more blossomsand each develops from a single stem giving the illu-sion of a frilly scarlet bouquet. It is a rare gem of aplant and is expensive and somewhat hard to find. Itis difficult to propagate and slow to reach bloomingsize so many nurseries don’t bother growing it. Theplant is shorter than regular peonies growing only15 to 20 inches tall.

Once established Fern Leaf Peonies are incrediblyhardy and will last for years. Our clump is 15 yearsold and I divided it for the first time last fall. Thetubers resemble large garlic cloves in size and areeasy to separate.

Early spring or fall is a good time to divide them.In fall it should be done as the leaves are going dor-mant. Pick a garden spot that will get at least sixhours of sun a day. It is important to have the top ofthe roots only 1.5 to 2 inches below the soil surface.They will not bloom if planted too deeply. Gooddrainage is also essential. It is wise to remove thefoliage in the fall after the first hard frost to elimi-nate disease that might overwinter.

I shared some tubers with my gardening friendslast spring and several said they thought they hadkilled the plant because the foliage turned brown. It

is not unusual for the tuber to be dormant in theground for an entire season and then spring to life.So mark the spot where it was planted and don’t dis-turb that site.

My grandmother said “pinies” when talking aboutpeony plants. Depending upon the area of the coun-try pronunciation varies. Pee-oh-nee is a commonlyheard pronunciation, pee-a-nee is also consideredcorrect. Many folks have fond memories of theirgrandmother’s peonies. Chances are good thatdecades later those plants are still blooming.

Peonies are considered a symbol of remembranceand are frequently planted in cemeteries since theyare so long-lived. Fern Leaf Peony (Paeonia tenuifo-

lia) is a gem of a plant because of its rarity, uniquebeauty and longevity. It blooms around MemorialDay when many other herbaceous perennials arenot even in bud yet.

Peonies thrive in our cold north and need winter dor-mancy to flourish. Southern gardeners look with envyat our peonies. If you have gardening friends willing toshare some of these plants by all means accept them.If you would like to grow Fern Leaf Peonies and don’tknow where to buy them, send me an e-mail and I willreply with some sources that have them for sale.

Aerial crop sprayers were inMinnesota skies the first coupleweeks of April, but they weren’tkilling bugs, weeds or nastypathogens. They were seeding oatsas a cover crop. Spring winds caneasily twist off the tops of newlyemerging sugar beet plants thusairplanes to the rescue.

Rich Sigurdson, an aerial applicator who uses theOlivia, Minn., airport as his operational center, hadhis 750 hp Ag Cat in the air every day as winds per-mitted those first two weeks of April. Flying 125mph about 50 to 55 feet above the ground, he wasdropping a 70-foot swath of oats on fields about tobe tilled and planted to sugar beets.

“Winds were more of a hassle this year than everbefore. We use GPS to guide the plane precisely toeach field and navigate our swath patterns,” saidSigurdson. “Application isn’t quite as precise aswhen flying herbicides or pesticides.”

Sigurdson had such a rush for cover crop seedingfrom area sugar beet producers that he called up an

applicator friend from Louisiana. Crop spraying had-n’t yet kicked in down South so David Owen of Kil-bourne, La., flew his AT502B Air Tractor north toMinnesota to put another bird in the sky over thesugar beet fields.

Owen carries about 2,300 pounds of oats whenready to fly beet fields. His plane delivers a 90-foot-wide swath. Down South he’s flying rice, cotton, soy-beans and corn fields, even some tobacco fields.

“Back home about 60 percent of my work is dry

work, flying on fertilizer. I’m not getting used to thisMinnesota weather. You’re too chilly, and you’re toowindy,” Owen said as he waited for his Ag Tractor tobe refilled with oats.

The sugar beet grower sources the oats from vari-ous co-op elevators.

The seeding rate, according to Sigurdson, is abouttwo-thirds of a bushel per acre. He’s into his fourthyear of aerial seeding oats for cover crop protectionand did about 11,000 acres this year. ❖

Oats seeded aerially as cover crop for sugar beets

507-246-5032 Of St. Peter, MN

The Pulks Wannaska, Minn.

Rain is in demand on theAndy Pulk farm.“We arevery, very dry,” said Pulk onMay 7. “(The ground is)short on topsoil moisture.”As for planting, he finished getting the wheat,corn and beans in the ground, but still needs to

plant sunflowers. “We’re two-thirds to three-fourths done,” he said. Pulk received some badnews: “We got notified that all our rye grass acreshave failed,” he said. While not a completesurprise, it was “definitely disappointing.” Tryingto look on the bright side, Pulk noted that no ryegrass crop means no rye grass harvest, so theyshould actually be able to enjoy “some familytime at the end of July.”

The Lees McIntosh, Minn.

Rain was needed on the Lee farm when TheLand spoke with Joan Lee on May 7. A merecouple hundredths of an inch had fallen the daybefore, and it was still dry in the area. Lee has

planted wheat, organic oatsand organic corn so far. “It’smainly the beans we haveleft,” she said. The bottomline: Lee is “just hoping wedo get some rain.”

The MarblesMapleton, Minn.

When The Land spoke with Harlan Marble onMay 14 he was observing “nice, slow, steadyrain” on his farm. His crops were all in by May 4so he was “busy cleaning equipment and puttingit away.” He was happy to be working onequipment in his dry shop; “it’s not a bad placeto work.” Along with getting the crop in theground there was excitement at the Marble farm

as 3,000 feeder pigs hadjust been delivered. It’s notall work and no play forMarble — he was lookingforward to Memorial Dayweekend, when he and hisfamily head to their lake

place near Le Center, Minn. He hoped warmerweather would make that family weekend asuccess, and give the crops a little boost to boot.

The HeusinkveldsWykoff, Minn.

“The crops look good, just yellow,” NateHeusinkveld reported on May 14. With aroundthree and a half inches of rain since the weekbefore, he noted that they’re “sitting good formoisture.” Heusinkveld estimated that fivepercent of the corn still needs to be planted in

his area. He’s done planting,though, and is looking aheadto “getting ready for the firstcrop of hay around MemorialDay.” Warm weather is nowin demand. “The hay cropneeds heat. ... I think heat is

probably the biggest thing now,” he said.

The KempsSibley, Iowa

Timing was perfect forBrian Kemp — He got doneplanting soybeans on May 9and then the rain came.

“Very nice rains” to be exact. When The Landspoke with Kemp on May 14, he noted that “theearly planted corn is looking really good, (but) itdoes need some sunshine.” With the crops in theground and rain falling, Kemp said his “next pushwill be post-emerge corn and soybeans spraying.”

The ThorpesCanby, Minn.

Crops are growing and therain is falling on the Thorpefarm. The Land spoke withNathan Thorpe on May 14 inthe middle of all thatprecipitation. The previous few days’ rainfall totalledtwo and a half inches, with more in the forecast.

“Emergence is looking good; my crop is all out ofthe ground,” Thorpe said of his corn, even thoughall of the rain had made it a little tough-looking. Henoted that “some sunshine will cure that,” but he’dalso observed “lots of wind damage on the corn.”Thorpe expects that “probably in about a week we’llbe out spraying,” and haying will likely be donearound Memorial Day weekend. “It’s been a goodstart to the growing season,” he said.

The PagelsWinthrop, Minn.

Rain has been a constantforce on Delayne Pagel’sfarm since Mother’s Day.“It’s wet,” he said,reporting that four inches ofrain had fallen between May 10 and 15. All ofthat moisture is leading to some yellowing of the

corn. The wind has been a factor as well; “There’ssome wind damage on the corn,” he said.Meanwhile the soybeans are “starting to emerge.”Even though they’ve had quite a bit of rain, Pagelsaid that he still has “tiles that aren’t running.”He noted that this had been “the fastest springwe went through for planting.” Pagel would nowlike to request “some heat and sunshine” to aidthe emerging crops.

The Haarstads Rothsay, Minn.

All the corn was in theground for John Haarstad asof May 1, and he finishedplanting soybeans on May 5.When The Land spoke withHaarstad on May 7, he said a little precipitation hadjust fallen from the sky. “Not a lot, but nice to know

it can rain,” said Haarstad. He said he’ll sprayingpre-emerge on the beans and corn, as well as “side-dress urea on our corn fields” as soon as theconditions are right. “We never complain about rain,”Haarstad said, because when it does come, he justheads over to his other business, National SignReclaiming, which takes county and city traffic signs,cleans them and ships them back. Rain or shine, allsigns point to Haarstad staying busy this time of year.

The Froemmings Garfield, Minn.

Things are off and running on the Froemmingfarm. “The rye is already a foot tall,” said RodneyFroemming on May 7; the corn was popping up,too.“Last couple of days you are starting to seerows,” he said. Meanwhile, Froemming beganplanting soybeans on May 2, but with the rain

that fell that week, he said“It will be a while beforegetting back in the field.”Once the planter is back atit, though, Froemmingexpects it will only take “twogood days and we’ll be

done.”

The Filzens Renville, Minn.

“Corn, soybeans and sugarbeets are all in,” Dale Filzensaid on May 7. “I’ve gotnavy beans to plant.”Outside of a mere sprinkling,he said he hasn’t had “any rain to speak of” since

planting. That dryness allowed Filzen to finishplanting soybeans on April 30. “I’ve never finishedin April,” he said. Filzen plans to plant navy beansnext week if temperatures warm up. “They don’tlike cool weather,” he said. As for the corn, Filzensaid it’s “starting to come up,” adding that they“definitely need the rain for a little moreemergence.”

A legislative compromise on require-ments for vegetative buffer stripsaround farmland near waterways ismore lenient than farm groups sought.

It would do little more than requireenforcement of existing rules by either2020 or 2022, depending on the water-way.

Gov. Mark Dayton called it “meaning-less” Saturday.

Joe Smentek, director of environmen-tal affairs for Mankato-based Min-nesota Soybean, said farm groups laidout their position on the so-called“buffer bill” about 10 days ago.

Legislators took it from there andnegotiations lasted until Friday, whena tentative deal was taken to HouseRepublicans, Dayton said Saturday.

There, Dayton said, it was “eviscer-ated.”

A buffer amendment, approved Sun-day morning, requires public water-ways have a 50-foot buffer by 2020 anddrainage ditches have a 16.5-footbuffer by 2022. Both requirements arepart of current law.

Dayton said that next January wouldhave been a better deadline. His ownproposal was to require a 50-foot vege-tative buffer around all waterways.

“They want to get between five andseven more years for property ownersand counties to require and enforcewhat’s on the books already,” he said.“What a bad joke.”

The bill also requires cities and coun-ties report to the state by Dec. 15, 2016,and annually after that, on their

BUFFER, from pg. 12progress in meeting buffer rules. Andit includes $2.4 million for soil andwater conservation districts to helpfarmers establish buffer strips, whichfilter pollutants from rain runoff.

These requirements were morelenient than farm groups offered,Smentek said. He declined to go intodetail about what they proposed, butsaid farm groups offered differenttimelines around the enforcement ofcurrent law.

Smentek said counties, not stateagencies or soil and water conserva-tion districts, will likely be expected todo a better job enforcing buffer striprules.

He called the bill a “step in the rightdirection,” noting that few people wereeven talking about buffers just sixmonths ago.

Environmental groups were sound-ing a different tone.

The Minnesota Environmental Part-nership said Sunday the “buffer provi-sions in this bill actually delay enforce-ment of laws on the books, and do notrepresent a serious attempt to addressthis issue.”

If you are old enough to have lifted, tossed, andstacked bales of hay and straw in your younger days,you might be pleased to know that bales smallenough to be handled by hand are few and farbetween. Everything seems to have grown largerthese days.

Travis Kleine, however, knows there is also merit ingrowing smaller. Kleine has a thriving enterprise inmaking mini-bales. These authentic bales look likethey are made with some future farmer’s toymachine. They meas-ure 18 x 11 x 9 inchesand weigh approxi-mately 10 pounds. Hisyoung daughters canhandle them.

The barley strawbales are used foralgae control in pondsand water gardens.The wheat straw balesare for decoration.

“I started makingmini-bales three tofour years ago,” Kleinesaid. “First I sold themto Runnings, Bom-gaards, garden cen-ters, places like that.Then I contacted big-ger retails and got a con-tract with Menards. Lastyear it was for 5,500 bales; this year they want 6,000.”

Retailers sell them especially in the fall and aroundHalloween for decorations. Apparently, the “country”look never goes out of style.

It takes Kleine most of the summer to produce the7,000 wheat straw bales that he sells to retailers. Bycomparison, he bales only about 20 barley strawbales, which he sells directly to customers.

“They use them for algae control in ponds in place ofchemicals,” he said.

He also sells about 80 grass hay and alfalfa mini-bales to folks with small animals like rabbits andguinea pigs. Most of these bales are sold in the TwinCities, including to a guinea pig rescue facility.“Think small”

If you are picturing Kleine pulling a child-sized balerpicking up a windrow of straw, that’s not exactly howhe works. It’s possible, he said, but would take a slow-moving hydrostatic tractor, so he has a more practicalapproach. He purchases large bales, breaks them up,and feeds them into a stationary baler in his yard.

No one mass produces mini-balers.

Cover story:Straw manthinking small

See MINI-BALES, pg. 15

First I sold themto Runnings,Bomgaards,garden centers,places like that.Then I contactedbigger retailsand got a con-tract withMenards. Lastyear it was for5,500 bales; thisyear they want6,000.

— Travis Kleine

MINI-BALES, from pg. 14“The Amish in Pennsylvania shop-built the baler,”

Kleine explained. “They chop down a regular balerand modify the chamber and plunger, and narrow upthe knotters.”

Kleine himself modified a manure spreader tounroll the large round bales and feed the straw andhay into the baler.

Basically, then, he’s buying straw and hay andrepackaging it?

“Yes,” he said. “That’s the FSA term. I didn’t qual-

ify for a loan because I don’t grow the straw. There’senough income off of it for what we wanted to do, butevidently it’s not (considered to be) an ag enterprise.We’re repackaging, similar to a Christmas tree lot.”

He opened a semi-trailer to show his work. It wasfilling up with small straw bales, each individuallypackaged in plastic. In the fall, the retailer will dropoff an empty trailer and take the full one to the dis-tribution center.

While the wheat straw bales people use to decoratetheir environment are the big seller, the barley strawbales have a more beneficial impact on the environ-

ment, since they are a natural replacement forusing chemicals to control algae. Kleine’s websitehas a number of reports from university studies tosupport their use in algae control in ponds.

“Think small” is not a mantra you often hear inagriculture these days. Kleine, however, has foundthat there is a market for mini-bales, and he’ll bespending another summer reducing large bales tothe size that fills that need.

The best time to have removedlead from our environment wasover a century ago. The danger oflead was known to Hippocrates in400 B.C. and Benjamin Franklintalked about a health risk fromlead exposure in 1786. CharlesDickens wrote of lead poisoning inhis book “Uncommercial Traveler.”

France, Belgium and Austria banned interior leadpaints in 1909, but it wasn’t until 1978 that theUnited States banned lead paint. In 2005, the Cen-ters for Disease Control and Prevention stated thatall non-essential uses of lead should be banned.

Still lead can be found in our homes, and it is stillaffecting our health, especially our children’s

health. Lead remains the most common environmen-tal disease in children.

“Childhood lead poisoning is the most common andpreventable childhood health problem in the UnitedStates,” said Dale P. Nystrom, M.D. “Lead is foundeverywhere.”

A family physician at Hawarden Regional Health-care in Hawarden, Iowa, Nystrom first becameaware of the lead issue from a question from hisneighbors.

“The neighbors asked me what I knew about theeffect of lead in the environment,” said Nystrom.“Not much, as it isn’t really taught in medical school.But doing the research I have learned plenty.”

Since then Nystrom has presented talks at theIowa Academy of Family Physicians meetings on theeffect of lead in children.

It is estimated that 310,000 children are at risk inthe United States. The toxic level or level of concernis determined by the CDC based on the complica-tions caused by lead, currently five micrograms perdeciliter.

Iowa has the highest number of children per capitaaffected; one in 16 has high concentrations of lead intheir blood, that’s 10 times the national average.

“The clinical effects are plenty,” said Nystrom.“Take IQ for instance. There can be up to a seven-point drop in IQ with blood levels of lead up to 10mcg/dl. IQ continues to decrease with higher leadlevels. Just think what that means to our childrenwhile in school and in their life’s work. Who doesn’twish they had a higher IQ?”

Higher lead levels can also lead to developmentaldelay, which can be seen in language, cognitive,behavior and physical areas.Health effects

At levels higher than 70 mcg/dl, vomiting, ataxia,seizures, coma and even death can occur. Colicky,vomiting, intermittent pain, constipation, anemia,chronic interstitial nephritis can also be due to pro-long exposure to lead.

“It is easy for lead to enter our bodies and accumu-late,” said Nystrom, “but very slow to leave.”

LEAD, from pg. 16Lead is absorbed through inhalation,

can be ingested or enter through theskin. Lead eventually deposits in thebones where it can stay 20-30 years. Inthe blood its half-life is 20-plus days,meaning it takes more than 20 daysfor the initial exposure to decrease 50percent, then another 20 days todecrease another 50 percent. Evenwhen the lead is gone, the effectsremain.

The only way to tell if a person has ahigh lead level is to have a blood testdone. But that is only accurate if therehas been a recent exposure. There is noway to tell what has accumulated inthe bones or brain.

In Iowa, all children under the age ofsix years should be tested annually.

“If we know there is a problem,” saidNystrom, “we can prevent younger orfuture siblings from lead exposure.”

Homes built before 1940 have an 87percent chance of containing lead; 69percent for homes between 1940 and1959; and 24 percent between 1960and 1978. The major source for lead inhomes is paint, stain, and varnishes.

A certified inspector can check yourhome for lead. Testers are also avail-able at hardware stores. Some areinstant read while others require asample to be sent in.

“When there is a positive reading forlead, renovate carefully,” said Nys-trom.

Specific guidelines need to be fol-lowed when renovating. The mainobjective is to prevent dust from form-ing that can potentially be inhaled oringested. To learn more about theseguidelines check with your countyhealth department.

Other proactive measures includewashing hands and children’s toysoften. Regularly clean floors, windowsills and other surfaces. Eatinghealthy, low-fat foods, high in iron, cal-cium and Vitamin C help because chil-dren with good diets and regular eat-ing absorb less lead.

“There really is no safe level of leadexposure,” said Nystrom. “Preventingexposure is the only cure. Onceexposed it is too late; the loss of IQ isirreversible.”

Whenever there is anemia, unex-plained colic or abdominal pain, leadtoxicity should be considered. ❖

Follow guidelines when removing lead from your home

Rhubarb is a popular part of manyIowa and Minnesota gardens. Here aresome quick tips.

Flowering: Flower development isnatural for rhubarb. Drought, extremeheat and infertile soils may encourageflowering. Older plants tend to flowermore than younger ones. Flower stalksshould be promptly pulled and dis-carded. Plants will be less productive ifallowed to flower and set seeds.

Small, spindly stalks: Newlyplanted rhubarb will initially producesmall, spindly stalks during its two-year establishment period. Do not har-vest during this period.

The stalks of large, old plants may besmall and spindly due to overcrowding.Large, old plants may need to be dugup and divided. Early spring is the besttime to divide rhubarb plants.

Follow good cultural practices, suchas the removal of flower stalks, fertiliz-ing and watering to promote plantvigor.

Rhubarb harvesting tips

Lead is all around usA heavy metal, lead combines readily with

other metals to form alloys. It resistscorrosion and is easily molded and shapedmaking it a popular metal to use. Its largestuse is in car, boat and standby batteries.

Tetraethyl lead (gas) banned in the UnitedStates is still used in some countries, and itis necessary for aviation fuel.

Hobbyists use it in their stained glasswindows, lead crystal, pottery and low gradepewter projects. Lead can be found infishing sinkers and bird shot.

Many houses have lead solder in copperpipes, which was banned in 1988. Wheelweights used to balance tires are solid lead.

The natural home remedies of Greta andAzarcon contain as much as 90 percentlead. These traditional Hispanic homeremedies are used for colic, upset stomach,vomiting and teething babies. Lead also canbe found in candy from Mexico andsoutheast Asia, as well as imported toys orjewelry.

Lead is even found in soils. Paint scrapedfrom houses that had been painted withexterior paint containing lead, ends up in thesoil and stays. The New York Times reportedhigh levels of lead found in eggs raised inthe city possibly due to lead gasolineexhaust and former lead paint usage.

Urban gardeners should be aware of thispossible contamination.

DAWSON, Minn. — While barnscontinue to disappear from the coun-tryside, the wood of some of them isreappearing in homes.

One couple making that happen isTom and Delite Ludvigson. Their busi-ness, T and D Barnwood Rustics, isalong Highway 212 in Dawson.

They still farm inthe area, but abouta decade ago Tombrought home apiece of barnwoodall cleaned up toshow Delite. “Lookat this, see howpretty it is,” hesaid to her.

Tom is a woodworker as well as afarmer, so when they added a three-season porch to their house, he did theceiling in barnwood. A friend saw itand wanted a ceiling like it.

“That’s how we got started,” Delitesaid. Tom started making furniture,end tables, shadow boxes and the like,and they took it to a craft fair at Can-terbury Downs. People weren’t lookingfor furniture there, and all they soldwas a couple of end tables.

“We started doing the local fairs andit kind of took off,” she said. Area peo-ple had interest in larger pieces of fur-niture.Showroom

The Ludvigsonsoperated out oftheir farm homefor a few years.Delite had beenhelping peoplewith interior deco-rating, so with herflair for homedécor and the busi-ness Tom was get-ting, they decidedthere was need for a permanent loca-tion. When a car dealership building inDawson came up for sale about threeyears ago, they established T and DBarnwood Rustics there.

The store functions like a showroom.Divided into rooms, each room has adifferent barnwood ceiling and beams,and a different cement overlay flooring(which they also install). The staircaseto a loft is also of barnwood construc-tion. The rooms are filled with furni-ture made by Tom, along with homedécor items, which is Delite’s specialty.

“Probably the No. 1 thing we sell is

custom tables,” Delite said.“We sell more custom work than the

actual things we have in the store, butthe store gives people ideas of whatcan be done,” Tom said.

Customers also supply inspiration.“People have something they’ve seen

or want a certain way,” he said, “and Iget a lot of good ideas that way.”Salvaged barnwood

Most of the woodcomes from Min-nesota barns. Andmost of the barnsthat are offered tohim he cannot use.Farming 700 acreswhile also sal-vaging barns tomake furniture

can be a challenge, leaving little timeto go look at a barn unless it soundspromising.

“I’m sure I’m offered over 100 barnsa year,” he said. “I like the ones thatare pegged and have vertical siding. Itdoesn’t necessarily have to be that, butI like them 1910 or before.”

It’s not just old barnwood that heneeds, but good lumber. He doesn’thave a lot of time to tear barns down,so it has to be worth his while. Butonce he has the wood, there isn’t anypiece of furniture he hasn’t made, inaddition to picture frames, stair rail-ings and so forth.

This wasn’t abusiness the Lud-vigsons planned tobe in.

“It just slowlyhappened,” Delitesaid. “It’s been funwatching itevolve.”

If anything wereto be done differ-ently, Delite thinks

a better name might have been T andD Barnwood Elegant Rustics.

When people think of rustic barn-wood, they often think of the unfin-ished picture frames or family roomwall paneling.

“We have very little of that,” she said.“Everything we usually do is finished.”

If you like the idea of having furnish-ings salvaged from old barnwood, butcrafted to a polished and elegant look,Tom and Delite Ludvigson would wel-come a visit at their Dawson store at340 Oak Street, along Highway 212, orwww.tanddbarnwoodrustics.com. ❖

A new spray repellent can keep birds out of thevineyard, but some Minnesota grape growersaren’t convinced that a chemical is the solution totheir bird problems.

Avian Control, a non-toxic liquid bird repellentfrom Avian Enterprises, is registered with theEnvironmental Protection Agency for use onmany berry and fruit crops, including grapes.

“We now have growers around the country thatno longer need to net their berries and vineyards.The product is a liquid chemical that you spraydirectly on your vineyard grapes,” said Jon Stoneof Avian Enterprises.

Growers spray after verasion, the initial repin-ing stage, and just before the birds are likely tobe a problem. Application rate is one quart peracre with an air blast or boom type sprayer. Theproduct stays active for up to 14 days in optimalconditions, unless a major rainfall occurs shortlyafter spraying.

“You may need to reapply under those situations.Also if birds continue to be an issue after 14 days,then subsequent sprays may be needed,” Stone said.

This could be a significant breakthrough in replac-ing a project that is always a costly chore — buyingand installing netting. A 14 x 200-foot boxed nettingcosts $112.25 through MDT & Associates, a Min-neapolis supplier of products and tools for the vine-yard industry. Do the arithmetic for your own vine-yard. Then installing can be a challenge too.

John Thull, vineyard manager at the University ofMinnesota’s Horticultural Research Center in Excel-sior, said the product has not been evaluated at thecenter.

“It may be worth a try. We’d want two to threeyears of repeated trials for evaluating its perform-ance,” said Thull. “Also because the active ingredientis Methyl Anthranilate, I question if the scent of thatparticular ingredient might filter into the wine?”

Scott Ellenbecker, of Round Lake Vineyards andWinery in Round Lake, Minn., used Avian Controllast year.

“I was inconsistent in the application and the birdscame anyway. I think it was working when I first putit on, but I didn’t follow up after rain,” said Ellen-becker. “I used it because I didn’t want to put on netsfor the few grapes that were there. I could taste theproduct on the grapes when I applied it, but thatsmell did subside. I am going to sit back and watchothers use it before I jump in with both feet.”

Winery acceptance may be the biggest obstaclebased on conversations with local grape producers.Also in order to collect data on the product, morepeople will have to try it on their vines.Chemistry

Here’s how Avian Control works.“It acts like a tear gas. It doesn’t hurt the birds.

What it does is affect their sense of smell, theirbreathing, and their taste” said Stone. “Once they geteven a whiff of the product, they immediately decideto steer clear. They fly on but if they do a return visit,

they are negatively affected again and learn to stayaway for good.”

Avian Control distracts all destructive birds.“The beauty of this product is that it changes the

behavior of birds. Once they get even a scent of theproduct, they fly away. You effectively have trainedthese birds to steer clear of your vineyard,” he said.

All birds share a common pain nerve and AvianControl irritates this nerve when birds come intocontact with the product through inhalation, preen-ing, ingestion and even through their feet. Becauseof its strong molecular structure, Avian Control is alonger lasting repellent and resistant to both biolog-ical and ultraviolet degradation, according to its lit-erature.

The repellent marks the treated crop with aninfrared stain that alerts approaching birds.

Avian Control can be tank mixed with other chem-icals but acidic pesticides and fungicides may lessenits effectiveness.

A one-gallon container retails at $175 so at theone-quart rate cost is about $42 per acre. Costs per

acre are lower (down to $24.50) in larger quanti-ties. They also sell 2.5-gallon containers, five-gal-lon containers, and 55-gallon drums. That one-gallon jug is the smallest container currentlyavailable, but Stone said they are getting readyto market smaller half gallon containers this sea-son.

Since many Minnesota vineyards are still inthe 1-3 acre category, a one-gallon purchase wouldprovide up to four sprays for one acre for the season.

Avian Control is a product of Avian Enterprises ofSylvan Lake, Mich. Visit www.avaincontrolinc.comfor more information. Call (888) 707-4355 or [email protected] to order.

Jon Stone, John Thull and Scott Ellenbecker wereinterviewed at the Cold Weather Conference of theMinnesota Grape Growers Association in Minneapo-lis in February. ❖

REDWOOD FALLS, Minn. —Rural Minnesota has a diverseeconomy that’s better able to han-dle economic challenges than sev-eral years back due to a migrationof younger people from the TwinCities and other areas since the1970s.

Ben Winchester, University of Minnesota Exten-sion Research Fellow, calls this trend a “brain gain”for rural America. Winchester shared a presenta-tion on this at the Redwood Community Center inRedwood Falls.

“This out-migration of younger people from theTwin Cities and other areas since the 1970s hasreally helped rebuild our rural economy,” said Win-chester. “Where would are small towns be today ifthat hadn’t happened? Our populations across ruralMinnesota would be anywhere from five percent to15 percent lower.”

Despite some “doom and gloom” comments ofTwin Cities’ media, Winchester said he’s encour-aged about what’s ahead.

“The ‘brain drain’ after high school is real formuch of rural Minnesota and rural America,” hesaid. “But so, too, the ‘brain gain’ is real.”

Wanting to leave town after high school gradua-tion is nothing new.

“That’s been going on for a hundred years and willcontinue,” he said. “But since the 1970s, we’re see-ing people age 30 to 50 moving into small towns.People want to have control over their lifestyle plusthe mental comfort of safety and security. And lowercosts of housing seem to be a growing issue withmore and more people.”

Winchester’s research shows that 68 percent ofrural newcomers are college educated and 67 per-cent are generating household incomes over$50,000. Many are giving up on their metro career,recognizing that less pay but an easier lifestyle hasmore value.

“When these newcomers move out into rural Min-nesota, they’re entrepreneurial,” he said. “Theystart new businesses. Or they buy existing busi-nesses.

“Or they may continue working for their companylocated in the metro but now work out of theirhomes. Thanks to telecommunications and a much

stronger broadband system than most folks realize,businesses can and do flourish in rural Minnesota,sometimes faster and easier than in the metroareas.”Economic development

Economic development is acompletely different beasttoday than back in the1970s.

Farm numbers havebeen in a decline for 50years and that willcontinue, and manycommunities haveseen manufacturingcome and go. Whileagriculture is still bigin the rural economy,Winchester said theprimary drivers ofMinnesota’s rural econ-omy today are educationand health services.

“My point: It’s not yourGrandpa’s rural anymore,”said Winchester. “We’re muchmore diverse and thankfullythis diversity continues tohappen

“We’ve got some positivesgoing on in many of our smalltowns even though there has beensuch a negative narrative. Admittedly themain streets of some rural communities aren’tsparkling like they used to. You lose a hardwarestory, for example, and it hurts the entire mainstreet business complex. But just because thingshave changed doesn’t mean things have changed forthe worse.”

Winchester’s data shows people in the 20 to 39 agebracket want to live in small towns and rural coun-try.

“So it’s not just people returning to their home-towns but also people with no previous experiencenow wanting to live in rural Minnesota,” he said.

According to Winchester, people are migrating tothe country for a quieter, simpler family life, safetyand lower housing costs.

For 10 years, Winchester lived in Hancock, Minn.,a community of 765 people on Highway 9 between

Benson and Morris. In this small town, internetspeeds were as fast as in metro areas, and in manycases faster.

“Many of the utilities and co-ops across the statehave greatly upgraded broadband access.

It’s just not a major issue in outstateMinnesota like it used to be,” Win-

chester said. “Sure, there’s stillroom for improvement but

broadband access is no longeran issue in relocation of citydwellers, neither to ruralareas, nor for businessesrelocating to rural Min-nesota.”

Though there has been apopulation decline insouthwest Minnesota,there have been popula-

tion gains in many areas.“Based on the cul-

tural and economicattractions in the eyesof more and more peo-ple, this out-migration

from the metro area islikely to continue,” he pre-

dicts.Great outdoors

Scenic beauty hasattracted people to northern

Minnesota’s lake country. Inthe Redwood-Renville County area, theTatanka Bluffs Corridor Committee hasambitions to work with leaders in the 26communities there to market the scenic

charm of the Minnesota River Valley not only for aweekend, but for a lifetime.

The committee’s vision is to build economic viabil-ity along the Minnesota River corridor by creatingeconomic sustainability and protecting the naturalresources in the river corridor between Upper SiouxAgency and Fort Ridgely state parks.

This 60-mile stretch of river is known for boating,canoeing and fishing. The stretch features six campsites with boat launches, some with corrals forovernight parking of horses, and several area golfcourses.

BRAIN GAIN, from pg. 20also broadens the geography. Out here you have anactive west-central Minnesota snowmobile associa-tion. It has a very narrow interest but a wide geogra-phy,” Winchester said. “It’s easy to see why snowmo-biling here in the heart of the Minnesota RiverValley has a special appeal to this special group ofpeople.”

And that also is a reason why the local Lion’s Club,Kiwanis and like groups have difficulty in attractingthese newcomers. Unless these service groups aredoing something to align themselves with the inter-est of newcomers, they won’t get involved, said Win-chester.

“It takes collaboration and cooperation. But it can

and does work. Even in our counties with populationloss we’re seeing a 3 to 10 percent increase in thenumber of non-profits which shows newcomers arecreating new groups that reflect their interests,” hesaid. “This is the rural revival, the vibrancy thatshows under the radar.

“So even though it appears you have competinginterests within the same community for these new

faces, you also have complimentary things happen-ing because often the existing social structure does-n’t even know this new structure exists because youdon’t overlap with one another.

“Pipestone does periodic community suppers justfor newcomers. That’s a terrific welcome.”

BRAIN GAIN, from pg. 21Regional hubs

Winchester said it’s a misnomer thatyou know everybody in your smalltown.

“You have new faces yet to meet, hesaid. “In any five-year time period, 43percent of all Minnesotans move; theaverage American moves 11.7 times ina lifetime.”

This mobility is also partly whyregional hub cities such as Willmar,Marshall and Worthington have rap-idly emerged, he said.

That regional concept is why he seespotential for the Tatanka Bluffs Corri-dor group.

“People today don’t mind driving. Ifthey know about it, and they like it,and it meets a specific interest oftheirs, it then potentially becomes anew destination point,” said Winches-ter. “My wife and I eat out often inneighboring towns and cities. I see that

happening throughout rural Min-nesota. It is a treat to eat out, espe-cially the good food in many of oursmall towns.”

He advised community members tobe careful in boasting about your townas “having it all” because in rebuildingyour rural community you may be put-ting down your neighboring town.Newcomers also want to know thatthere are attractions to enjoy in thenext town over.

While the Twin Cities will continueto be the population hub that attractsyoung people, with more identity beingestablished in rural Minnesota, the“brain gain” will grow here.

“This repopulation of rural Min-nesota is in its infancy,” said Winches-ter.

Cover crops and conserva-tion tillage made the biggestjump in progress when theU.S. Department of Agricul-ture and Natural ResourcesConservation Service madesoil health a national initiativethis year.

After 18 years in the field,Jodi DeJong-Hughes can attest tothat. She is the soils specialist at theUniversity of Minnesota ExtensionService’s Willmar regional office.

DeJong-Hughes also credits theadvent of Roundup as being a majorcontributor to conservation. One rea-son for tilling was to get rid of weeds.

“They no longer had to worry aboutweeds so tillage and cultivation backedoff considerably. Now farmers havetime to talk about conservation and totry some different strategies,” she said.

DeJong-Hughes teaches producersthe benefits of minimum tillage andfall-seeded cover crops to rebuild soilstructure, noting that some area pro-ducers are doing really well in theirconservation practices.

“If you reduce tillage, structurestarts building again,” she said. “Witherosion we’re kind of at the whim ofMother Nature. Our open winter withlittle snow cover produced lots of winderosion this winter and early spring.”

Snow cover ordinarily protects Min-nesota soils but without snow, tillagesystems which leave crop residue inplace are one of the primary strategiesfor thwarting wind and water erosion. Sowhile farmers are watching their cornand beans come up, DeJong-Hughesasks: How is next winter going to be ifwe continue to do so much fall tillage?

“If you assume there may not be alot of coverage over our soils next win-ter, minimum tillage this fall woulddefinitely help,” she said.

Today’s ag economy with $3 corn is afactor in the shift to conservationfarming strategies, said DeJong-

Hughes.“When fuel is expensive, or

nutrients are expensive andcommodity prices are down,producers are looking at waysto do less passes across everyacre,” she said, “and doingshallower tillage, too, becausethe deeper you go, the morefuel it takes and the more wearand tear on your equipment.”

Cover cropsFarmers are also buying into the

strategy of late summer and early fallseeding of cover crops.

“I get lots of questions on that topiceverywhere I go,” DeJong-Hughessaid. “We’ve talked with Del Monte,which contracts with farmers for peasand sweet corn. They tell us they’renow up to 50 percent use of covercrops.

“Sugar beet growers, too, are bigusers of cover crops — oats or wheatseeded just ahead of planting of thesugar beets to reduce wind damage tothe newly emerging sugar beet plants.”

When it comes to cover crops, theexperts recommend a cocktailapproach meaning a large variety, shesaid.

“I think they should just get theirfoot wet by trying just a single choice,such as rye or oats,” said DeJong-Hughes. “I like to start them off withsomething that doesn’t over winter sothey don’t need to do a spray out in thespring. Oats are good but rye coversquickly; also consider tillage radish.”

When to seed is a matter for debate,and Extension is working with the U.S.Department of Agriculture’s RiskManagement Agency on insurance cov-erage.

“You cannot hurt your primary cropso we’re looking at around V8 growthstage in corn,” she said. “Aerial appli-cation can work if you have some rainshortly after the fly-on. I like to seesome seed-to-soil contact, otherwiseyou’re just out there feeding therodents and bugs.”

High-boy Hagies are being retrofit-ted to seed cover crops, and she added,“so, too, are farmers — where there’s awill, there’s a way”

DeJong-Hughes suggested robotscould walk the fields while interseed-ing cover crops.

She also advocates for more diver-sity in our farming landscape.

“If you want to have more manage-ment options for variable weather, vari-able weed control issues, variable mar-keting, then crop diversity is key,” shesaid. “Crop diversity also helps buildsoil structure but if you don’t have amarket that’s where we get shot down.”

Wheat can be a good option.“As a friend told me, wheat is its

own cover crop,” said DeJong-Hughes.“You grow it, harvest it, and it thenregrows providing its own cover crop.”

Jodi DeJong-Hughes was inter-viewed at Earth Day at Prairie WoodsEnvironmental Learning Center inSpicer, Minn. She may be reached [email protected] or visit www.ext-ension.uumn.edu/agriculture/tillagefor more information. ❖

In a marketplace demanding thatfood production leave a smallercarbon footprint, the first MidwestFarm Energy Conference is demon-strating practical ways to userenewable energy and reduceenergy costs in crop production,swine barns and dairy facilities.

The Midwest Farm Energy Conference is June 17-19 at the University of Minnesota West CentralResearch and Outreach Center in Morris. MichaelReese, WCROC renewable energy director, said theconference will show farmers the “nuts and bolts” ofsolar and wind energy systems in operation at thecenter.

“Not only will you save money on energy costs,produce your own power and be more independent,but you will also meet the emerging market,” saidReese.

He expects that farmers will be surprised by theeveryday efficiencies available that can make thedifference between making money and losingmoney in today’s tight margins.

Keynote speaker Steve Peterson, director of sourc-ing sustainability at General Mills, will addresswhy the carbon footprint of your farm is importantto the consumer and the marketplace.

“The conference will give producers tools that willhelp reduce the carbon footprint of their farm prod-ucts,” said Reese.

Topics include energy usage in swine and dairy,energy-efficient farm lighting, incentives, grants

and loans for renewable and energyefficient systems, tour of WCROC’sdairy and energy systems, as wellas the center’s renewable hydrogenand ammonia pilot plant that useswind energy to drive the process.New technologies from the U of Mhave made the process to manufac-ture nitrogen fertilizer more effi-cient, said Reese.

A second renewable energy tour includes a bus tripto Riverview Dairy, an 800-head operation in Morris.

Many incentives and rebates for solar energy existin Minnesota. With economists on hand to discussthe feasibility of solar electric systems for livestockbarns, farmers can get a good idea of what will workfor them, said Reese.

“You can put a lot of solar on those roofs to poten-tially save energy costs,” he said.

WCROC has converted its dairy to be more energyefficient. The dairy’s energy system includes a windturbine and solar energy system with a goal of beinga “net zero energy consumer and produce all of thepower on site,” Reese said.Swine operation

Lee Johnston, WCROC swine professor and direc-tor of operations, is looking at ways to drive downthe use of fossil fuels in hog barns. You can tour thecenter’s hog barns equipped with newly installedsolar panels.

“A lot of this is driven by markets saying they wanta lower carbon footprint on food products,” saidJohnston. “Electricity and fossil fuels are not a hugepart of pig production if you look at the barn, but if

you fold in the crop production for feed, the footprintgets bigger.”

Johnston completed two studies in reducing thenocturnal temperature in their nursery as a way tolower heating fuels and costs.

“You put a weaning pig in there at 18 to 20 days, heneeds a very high temperature in the room. It usu-ally takes a lot of propane to keep the temperatureup,” he said.

Studies showed that if you set the temperatureback by 10 to 15 F and then bring it back up in themorning, a producer could save almost 20 percent onfuel usage. For example, if the barn is heated to 85 Fduring the day, the producer would set back the tem-perature to 70 or 75 F at night.

“We are pretty confident that data is strong,” saidJohnston.

Three other upper Midwest university studiesfound similar results. The data came out ahead ofthe propane crisis a year ago so it was very timely.

In fact, after two weeks of setting the temperatureback at night, the furnaces didn’t run because thepigs were generating so much heat it kept the roomat the target temperature, said Johnston.

“We have leaner genetics and those pigs tend toproduce more body heat,” he said.

Johnston said producers watch their pigs closely toset a target temperature. If the pigs are piling on topof each other, the pigs are cold. At night, pigs “spoon,”laying side-by-side to stay warm. In the morning,pigs need the temperature higher so they can becomfortable and active.

With advancements in barn controllers, producerscan program the heating system to set the tempera-ture back at night and up in the morning. Controlstrategies for livestock buildings will be discussed atthe conference.

While programmable controllers are at the highend, Johnston said it may be cost effective for highvolume barns. For smaller operations, it may be costeffective when the old controller wears out.

He is also monitoring electrical and heating fueluse on six commercial barns for a year to generatefigures on what farms are using.

“That will help establish some baselines and willallow us to look at big users and think about ways toreduce that load,” said Johnston. ❖

By CAROLYN VAN LOHThe Land Correspondent

When my husband, Dave, and I were planning atrip to visit his brother Paul and sister-in-lawSusan in southern Brazil, I sug-gested we tour a farm. Like allfarmers, we are interested inlearning how farmers in othercountries produce their crops.

Paul and Susan live in Curitiba,capital of the state of Parana,where he pastors a church. Nercyand her husband, Adir, whoattend that church, arranged avisit for Feb. 20-21 with Nercy’scousin Ednir and his wife Matilde Pedroso who livenear Reserva, population 32,000. The city celebratesits heritage each year on March 26 with the theme“tomato capital of Parana.” This year marks the city’s94th year as an independent municipality.

Adir led the way in his Chevy S-10 pickup, similarto a Chevy Colorado in the states. His passengerswere Nercy, their daughter Tatiane, her husband Lui,and son Murillo. We rode with Paul and Susan intheir PT Cruiser. The three-hour drive west into the

interior of Parana took us from Curitiba city streets toa four-lane toll road, two-lane highways, and narrowcountry roads. Large fields of corn and soybeans invarying stages of development stretched across

rolling hills that reminded us ofTennessee. We saw a combineharvesting corn in one field, whileother fields were in varyingstages of maturity. Some soybeanfields were nearly ready to har-vest, but others were still green.

It was dark when we arrived atthe Pedroso’s home. More than adozen family members gatheredto spend the evening with us four

Americans. After indulging in an abundance of foodthat included Brazilian beans and rice, the family didwhat families do when they get together: talk andenjoy each other’s company. Five-year-old Murillosucked on his pacifier while playing an electronicdevice when he wasn’t running around with cousins.

I’m thankful Paul grew up on a farm so he under-stood the nature of questions we asked him to trans-

BRAZIL, from pg. 26late into Portuguese as we got acquainted withMiguel Taborda, who farms 500 hectares (about1,000 acres), what he said was a medium-size farm.His wife, Cristina, is a niece of Ednir. As the youngfarmer answered our questions, he looked puzzledone time because Paul repeated the question in Eng-lish instead of translating. We slowly learned about

typical farming practices in central Parana. Miguelhad his three combines and other harvesting equip-ment all ready to go when the rainy weather let up.

After a short night’s rest in the Pedroso’s home, weate a typical breakfast of bread, cheese and meatwith our sweet strong coffee. We partially filled thecup with coffee before adding warm milk. Knowinghow much Susan and I liked the rice cake dessert

served the previous evening, the hostess served theleftover dessert for breakfast.

Our tour started in Reserva at the “LoJa Do 1,50”store owned by Ednir. We likened it to a dollar storeor similar discount store that carries numerousChinese products.

BRAZIL, from pg. 27From there, we visited a hobby farm where the

family kept 20 sows to raise piglets for roasting on aspit. Wild pigs are a problem for Brazilian farmersjust as timberwolves cause problems for northernMinnesota farmers. A domestic sow (porco) crossedwith a wild boar (javali) produces a javaporco. Awild boar (captured in a hunting cage) produces bet-ter quality meat with less fat.

Visiting Miguel’s farm site was like the maincourse of a banquet. Because of wet fields, he wasable to spend time answering our questions on asunny morning. He uses a narrow-row precision no-till planter with a bulk fertilizer box and individualseed boxes. Two older John Deere combines and anewer John Deere rotary combine stood ready forharvest. You could tell he was partial to green com-bines, but he didn’t mind having red and blue trac-tors — New Holland and Case — to do the otherfarm work.

Two large straight trucks haul the grain to aCargill, Bunge or a co-op elevator. It is uncommonto see a tractor with wagons at the elevator becauseof the field’s distance from the facility. When trucksare away from the field, two transfer wagons holdthe grain.

Corn is planted in August and is sometimes har-vested at 25 percent moisture in February so thenext crop can be planted. This year may be differentbecause of frequent rains after our visit. Soybeansare planted in October and harvested in March andApril. Miguel rotates soybeans, edible beans, cornand wheat. When we walked into a soybean field fora photo, we noticed that the plants were loaded withfour-bean pods. Dave estimated a 100-bushel-per-

acre yield at that spot of thefield.

Miguel and his sister bothstudied agronomy at nearbyUniversity of Ponto Grossa.Family members worktogether to harvest theirfields before Miguel beginscustom combining for neigh-bors.

We discovered that Brazil-ian farmers fertilize andprovide nutrients for grow-ing crops in ways similar toours, and their expectedyields are similar. There is alimited program for federalcrop insurance, but it’sadministered on a first-come-first-served basis. Miguel forward contracts aportion of the expected crop every month.

We experienced gracious rural hospitality andlearned much about farm practices during our lessthan 24-hour visit to Miguel’s farm. It was amazing

the wealth of information we acquired even thoughwe couldn’t speak directly to each other.

Grain AnglesWhat lenders

look forAmong all of the things that grain producers have

to think about while planting this year’s crop, here’sone more thing to contemplate — what is my lenderlooking for when he is making a loan to me?

AgStar has many things it considers when a clientapplies for a loan. Questions usedto evaluate an applicant’s char-acter range from subjective ques-tions about their communityinvolvement to more objectiveconsiderations, such as paymenthistory.

Below are five of the top areasAgStar considers. Includedwithin each area are questionsthat we often ask as a lender toevaluate each area. In prepara-tion for working with a lender,think through these questions toidentify what areas you mightneed to strengthen to be consid-ered an ideal candidate.

1. Character• This can be subjective, such as how are you

viewed in the community? Are you a good neighbor?Are you active in the community in a positive way?

• Do you have good communication skills?• Does your family have a good history with the

lending institution?• Character can also be measured by your repay-

ment history. Do you pay your obligations on time asagreed? Lending institutions use a credit bureauscore to assess how you deal with your differentcreditors. A low credit bureau score (less than 700)may indicate late payments, disputes, or too many

Grain OutlookCrop report

neutralThe following market analysis is for the week end-

ing May 15.CORN — Thank goodness we had the monthly U.S.

Department of Agriculture crop report to talk aboutthis week! News was scarce except for the cropreport, growers were mostly dis-engaged until the jump in thelatter half of the week, weathercooperated for crop development,and the U.S. dollar retreated.Those factors combined for veryflat price action for the majorityof the week.

On Thursday, wheat staged itsbiggest one-day rally in nearlythree years on fund buying andbuy stops that were hit. Thispulled corn higher to its highestlevel this month. The U.S. dollarfell to its lowest since Januaryand is off seven percent from the 12-year high hit inMarch. Ideas that any interest rate hike may notcome until September at the earliest, and possiblynot until 2016, pressured the dollar and lent supportto commodities.

The May USDA crop report was basically neutralfor the United States and bearish on a global scale.On the 2014-15 balance sheet, Feed, Seed and Indus-trial was cut 48 million bushels, exports were raised25 million to 1.825 billion bushels, for a 24 millionbushel increase in ending stocks of 1.851 billionbushels. The average ending stocks estimate was1.864 billion bushels. There has been concern voicedthat the ethanol usage number of 5.2 billion bushelsmay be 25-50 million bushels too high as yield isinching higher. Questions about the feed/residual

Livestock AnglesAvian flu

ups demandUnpredictability is the only way to describe the

livestock markets these days. The cattle market hasespecially been one that has been the most unpre-dictable while the hog market appears to be the moresteady in finding direction at the present time.

The cash cattle market and thefutures market most definitelyhave different ideas on the cur-rent and future direction of livecattle prices. This continues toexpress the difference betweensupply and demand outlooks intothe next several months. The cur-rent situation is that there con-tinues to be a tight supply of cat-tle, while the demand for beefcontinues to shrink as the priceelevates.

Packers have continued to showreluctance in being aggressive inacquiring live inventory in the open market as evi-denced in the continual late week purchases. Packermargins are tight at times, despite the fact that thebeef cutout is at all-time highs. Part of the problem isthe bird flu epidemic has put retailers in a position tobuy more red meat to replace the tightening avail-ability of poultry.

The weight of cattle remains well above last yearwhich is offsetting the fewer numbers of animals.This, in turn, has made up in tonnage of beef pro-duced to nearly equal last year’s production. There-fore, as demand shrinks because of the high price ofbeef, and numbers once again begin to increase, cat-tle prices are not likely to advance but remain atthese levels or possibly even decline. Although thebird flu epidemic may hold prices in the near term,

NYSTROM, from pg. 29line at 5.25 billion bushels may also prove to be upto 100 million bushels too high.

Our first official look at the 2015-16 balance sheetwas unexciting. Acreage at 89.2 million acres is 1.4million acres below last year. The yield estimatefrom the February Outlook Forum of 166.8 bushelsper acre was left unchanged and compares to lastyear’s 171.0 bu./acre yield. With the very goodplanting progress and early development, this num-ber may see a bump higher on subsequent reports.Production comes in at 13.63 billion bushels,exports were projected at 1.9 billion (up 75 millionfrom this year) with ending stocks at 1.746 billionbushels. The pre-report ending stocks forecast was1.752 billion bushels. The 12.7 percent stocks to useratio for 2015-16 is below this year’s 13.6 percent.

Informa Economics updated their 2015 acreageestimate this week to 88.7 million acres, which is500,000 acres lower than the USDA number and anincrease of 200,000 from their last projection. Cornplanting saw the second fastest weekly pace when itreached 75 percent complete from 55 percent com-plete the previous week and 57 percent on average.Emergence was pegged at 29 percent compared tothe average of 24 percent emerged. For the weekending May 15, corn planting is predicted to be 85percent planted after rainfall slowed planters.

Export sales were weak at just 14.6 millionbushels and a new low for the marketing year. Salesneed to average 15.6 million per week for us to

attain the new USDA export forecast of 1.825 billionbushels. Last year from this point in the marketingyear to the end, we averaged just 9.1 million bushels.Was the USDA premature in raising the export cate-gory this month? Weekly ethanol production was upseven million gallons at 268 million gallon, but is onepercent below last year’s production for this week.Stocks fell 19 million gallons to 853 million gallons,the lowest level in 17 weeks.

SOYBEANS — This year’s carryout was loweredon the May 12 USDA report by 20 million bushels to350 million bushels. Both crush and exports wereincreased 10 million bushels each to account for thereduced carryout; crush at 1.805 billion bushels isthe second largest ever and exports at 1.8 billionbushels would be a record. While this was less thanthe 360 million bushel average estimate, it was the2015-16 carryout of 500 million bushels that caughttraders attention. If correct, this would be the secondbiggest carryout in the last 15 years.

Acreage for 2015-16 was posted at 84.6 millionacres, up 900,000 acres from 2014-15. A yield of 46bu./acre was used on the first 2015-16 balance sheet.This is 1.8 bu./acre less than last year’s 47.8 bu./acreyield. Production is forecast at the second highest onrecord at 3.85 billion bushels. On the demand side,crush of 1.825 billion is 20 million higher than 2014-15, exports of 1.775 billion is 25 million less thanthis year, for huge ending stocks of 500 millionbushels. The pre-report ending stocks number was443 million bushels.

The 2015-16 stocks to use ratio is 13.4 percent com-pared to just 9.4 percent in 2014-15. This would bethe highest stocks to use ratio and ending stocks

number since 2006-07. November 2006 soybeanprices traded from roughly $5.85 to $6.41 per bushelfor the 2006 growing season, collapsed throughAugust and September, before staging a huge rally inOctober until expiration. The national on-farm aver-age price for 2015-16 is initially estimated at $8.25-$9.75 compared to $10.05 per bushel for 2014-15.

Informa Economics’ updated 2015-16 acreage wasreported at 87.2 million acres compared to theMarch USDA Prospective Planting 84.6 millionacres figure. Informa’s number exceeds the USDA84.6 million acre projection by an impressive 2.9 mil-lion acres. Soybean planting was 31 percent com-plete as of May 10, 11 percent higher than the aver-age. The average as of May 17 is 36 percent and 55percent the week after.

Weekly export sales were at the low end of esti-mates at five million bushels for old crop. Total com-mitments are 1.82 billion bushels compared to theUSDA’s 1.8 billion bushel export outlook. New cropsales were 3.2 million bushels, pushing the total onthe books to 162 million bushels. The USDA esti-mate for 2015-16 exports is 1.775 billion bushels.China is reportedly 70 percent covered on soybeanneeds for July. With shipments from South Americaon their way to Chinese ports, there doesn’t seem tobe any pressure for China to extend coverage any-time soon.

The April National Oilseed Processors Associationcrush was a tremendous 150.363 million bushels,crashing through the 147.8 million bushels estimatefor a new record for April. Soy oil stocks were 1,441million pounds versus the pre-report forecast for1.452 million pounds. ❖

TEALE, from pg. 29the high in live cattle prices made last October lookto be a major top in the cattle market for now.

Producers should keep aware of current marketconditions and protect inventories as warranted.

The hog market has continued to recover for thelows made back in March as the decrease in mar-ket-ready hogs has declined over the past fewmonths. This decrease in numbers with the contin-ued good demand for pork aided in the current rallyin hog prices.

With the outbreak of the bird flu here in theUnited States, the concern over poultry has putmore emphasis on red meat by the retailers. Thishas kept good demand for pork as that substituteprotein source over the past few weeks.

With the holiday buying for both Memorial Dayand Independence Day now winding down, the pos-sibility of packers meeting all of their productionneeds for those holidays, prices may begin to slip.From a seasonal standpoint, the hog market onaverage usually finds a high point in this timeframe. Without any further surprises regarding thesupplies of pork, beef or poultry, the possibility ofthat seasonal high would be fairly good to happen inthe near future.

Producers should stay on top of market conditionsand protect their inventories when given the oppor-tunity. ❖

LARSON, from pg. 29accounts. A good credit bureau score (700-800) is anindication that you pay your accounts on time andultimately there will be less risk to the lender.

2. Financial and Production History• What do your financial trends say about your

business? Are you showing a trend of profitabilityand net worth growth?

• What is your history of capital expenses?• Are your records timely and accurate? Do you

provide your lender financial information that is cur-rent and reconciles change in net worth to your earn-ings?

• Do you know your family living expense?• Do you know what the key ratios say about your

business?• What is your acreage production history?3. Cost of Production• Do you know your cost of production on a per

acre or per bushel basis?• If you know your break even, are you marketing

from that information?• How do you compare to a benchmark?4. Cash flow Projections• Do you have a monthly cash flow plan?

• Are you completing actual to budgeted compar-isons throughout the year?

• If you have a major expansion in mind, do youhave a structured business plan that you can pres-ent to your lender?

5. Risk Management• How do you deal with risk in your operation?• Do you have adequate levels of crop insurance,

property and casualty, and life insurance?• Do you have a will?Whether you are a young farmer just starting out

your farming career or a farmer with 25 years ofexperience, these management areas are all impor-tant to you and your lender. There is a lot to con-sider. As most veteran farmers know, it takes a lot ofeffort to properly manage these various areas. But,there is a significant payoff. Clients who are strongin these areas will benefit from more options andbetter rates when financing their operations.

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

The U.S. Department ofAgriculture lowered its 2015milk production forecast forthe seventh time in a row inits latest World AgriculturalSupply and Demand Esti-mates report issued Tues-day, and offered its first lookinto 2016.

Production and mar-ketings for 2015 werereported at 208.6 billionpounds and 207.6 billionpounds, respectively, both are down 1.4billion pounds from last month’sreport. If realized, 2015 productionwould be up 1.3 percent from 2014.

Production and marketings for 2016were projected at 213.6 billion and212.6 billion pounds respectively. Ifrealized, 2016 production and market-ings would be up 5 billion pounds orabout 2.4 percent from 2014.

Milk production for 2016 was forecasthigher as improved forage availabilityand moderate feed costs are expectedto support gains in milk per cow. Cownumbers were forecast slightly higher.Commercial exports on a fat and skim-solids basis were forecast higher with aresumption of normal trade patterns.

Imports were forecast lower asdomestic production increases anddemand from competing importers ishigher. With stronger domestic demandand export, cheese, nonfat dry milk andwhey prices were forecast higher, butbutter prices were forecast lower asstrong nonfat dry milk demand isexpected to support relatively high lev-els of butter production.

Class III and Class IV milk priceswere forecast higher. Look for the 2016Class III price to average around$16.70 per hundredweight and theClass IV around $16.15.

Forecast milk production for 2015 islower than last month as drought inthe West impacts milk per cow andgrowth in the cow herd is expected tobe slower. Fat and skim-solids importswere raised on strong cheese demand.Fat basis exports were raised on better-than-expected March exports. Skimsolids exports were higher based onhigher NDM and lactose shipments.Cheese, NDM, and whey prices areforecast lower on weaker demand, butthe butter price forecast was raised onstrong demand.

The Class III price was lowered on

weaker cheese and wheyprices. Look for a 2015 aver-age of about $16.30, downfrom the $16.45 expectedlast month and compares to$22.34 in 2014 and $17.99in 2013.

The Class IV price is loweras the stronger butter priceis more than offset by thereduced prices for NDM. The2015 average is put at

$14.65, down from the$14.75 projected amonth ago and com-

pares to $22.09 in 2014and $19.05 in 2013.

■

Speaking of milk prices; the Califor-nia Department of Food and Agricul-ture announced their June Class I milkprices at $17.47/cwt. for the north and$17.74 for the south, up 41 cents and40 cents respectively from May but$7.63 below June 2014. They are thelowest June Class I prices since 2012.

The six month Class I average for thenorth is $17.45, down from $24.53 atthis time a year ago and compares to$19.85 in 2013. The six-month averagefor the south is $17.72, down from$24.80 a year ago and compares to$20.13 in 2013. The June Federal orderClass I base price will be announced bythe USDA May 20.

Cash cheese prices remain strong buta crack appeared in the barrels thisweek. The Cheddar blocks have beenresiliently strong, hovering at $1.61 perpound for almost two weeks, theninched up a quarter-cent May 8, andclosed May 15 at $1.62, up three-quar-ter cents on the week but 37.75 centsbelow a year ago when they fell almosta nickel and below $2 per pound. Thisweek’s block price marked a new highfor 2015 and is the highest since Dec.22, 2014.

The Cheddar barrels marched to$1.6375 on May 12, highest barrel pricesince Dec. 1, 2014, then retreated,recovered some, and closed Friday at$1.6225, up a quarter-cent on the week,33.75 cents below a year ago, and aquarter-cent above the blocks, a spreadthat normally runs 3-5 cents below theblocks. Two cars of block and eight ofbarrel traded hands on the week. Thelagging National Dairy Products SalesReport-surveyed U.S. average blockprice inched up 0.8 cent, to $1.6128,while the barrels inched 0.1 cent lower,to $1.6655.

Midwest cheese production this weekwas very similar to last week, accord-ing to USDA’s Dairy Market News.Milk flows to plants is in volumes suffi-cient for full schedules. Surplus milk isavailable, with pricing varied day byday. Early week pricing depending ontiming and location reached $3.00below Class while late last week avail-able surplus milk was being shoppedaround at $5.00 below, with some pricemotivated cheese plants making pur-chases.

Barrel availability began the weektighter than blocks, but both are morereadily available than in recent weeks.There is discussion of barrel supplytightness “softening on the edges,”meaning that non-contract cheese isbecoming more available to purchasefrom plants, with less need to rely onthe Chicago Mercantile Exchange as a

backup. Some buyers report thatblocks are more available on a spotbasis than previously. Manufacturersalso seem to be adding to their owninventories, a change from recent pat-terns where many manufacturers hadlight inventories due to sales demand.Sales remain strong, but many manu-facturers are now producing enoughcheese beyond sales commitments togradually increase manufacturerinventory levels.

MIELKE, from pg. 31ago. Seven cars were sold this weekat the CME. NDPSR butter averaged$1.8176, up 1.3 cents.

The question was asked if butter would revisitlast year’s record high $3.06. “No,” according to theMay 1 Dairy and Food Market Analyst. EditorsJerry Dryer and Matt Gould reason that “Lowerexports and increased imports will continue tomore-than-cover the butterfat production shortfalland most of the butterfat demand increase.Together, limited exports and larger imports shouldadd enough butterfat supply to prevent a $3.00 perpound type of price run (or $2.50 per pound for thatmatter). Nevertheless, some in the industry are stillcalling for the price run.”

Gould also reported in Friday’s DairyLine thatFirst Quarter 2015 dairy product demand “wentcrazy.” Foodservice sales were up substantially, hesaid, and the lower prices for both butter and cheesewere passed on to consumers at retail so consump-tion was up across the board. But, growth has notbeen sustained at those high levels in May, Gouldwarned. “It’s strong,” he said, “But not as strong asit was. On the demand side, we’re starting to seeweakness.”

Looking to the supply side, Gould cited the factthat world dairy product prices are substantiallybelow U.S. levels so “We have a target on our back,with boats pointed in this direction loaded with but-terfat, either in the form of butter or anhydrousmilkfat, which is 99.9 percent butterfat, pluscheese.”

“We have imports rising and we have demand,

still very strong, but not at theextraordinary numbers we saw in the

First Quarter.”When asked about milk prices, Gould said he does-

n’t see a lot of upside from where we are. He saidthat “a lot of people have been wondering how wecan stay this high for so long when the rest of theworld has been so far below us.”

Looking at the next three to six months, he seesprices “steady to weaker as the dynamics play outwhere we do have strong demand here at home but,due to imports, we’re going to see some weakness.”

When asked about China, he stated that China’sskim milk powder purchases continue at “reasonablelevels” but are fairly slow on whole milk powder asmilk production has been up in the region. “I’m notoverly excited about China,” he concluded.

■

Dairy Market News says Central butter outputremains active. Manufacturers still want to makeand store butter for future needs. Some are able towhile others are concerned about future supplies.The pricing at the CME has several buyers and sell-ers befuddled. Some feel the market should be goingdown instead of up. Cream supplies are plentifulalthough the supply is lower than last week.

Availability of cream continues to be a driving fac-tor for butter production in the West. Some manufac-turers report enough cream to support productionschedules. In these cases, there is a desire to sellexcess cream rather than build butter stocks. Othermanufacturers are struggling to get enough creamand seek supplies from across the region. Competi-tion from ice cream manufacturing has limited theability of these butter manufacturers to get cream.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed the week at89.75 cents per pound, down 6 cents on the week and

88.5 cents below a year ago. Two cars were sold viathe CME this week. NDPSR powder averaged 94.14cents per pound, down 0.9 cent, while dry whey aver-aged 43.55 cents per pound, down three cents andthe lowest level in four years.

■

Cooperatives Working Together accepted 11 requestsfor export assistance this week from Dairy Farmers ofAmerica, Maryland & Virginia Milk Producers, North-west Dairy Association (Darigold) and TillamookCounty Creamery Association, to sell 745,956 poundsof Cheddar, and Monterey Jack cheese, 1.764 millionpounds of butter and 9.480 million pounds of wholemilk powder to customers in Asia, the Middle East,and Central and South America. The product will bedelivered through November 2015 and raised CWT’s2015 exports to 30.2 million pounds of cheese, 26.2million pounds of butter, and 19.3 million pounds ofwhole milk powder.

Penn State’s measure of income over feed costs roseby five percent in April, as milk prices rose and feedprices fell, according to Jim Dunn in his May DairyOutlook. April’s feed cost is 10 cents per cow per dayless than in March. April’s value for income over feedcost of $6.47 per cow per day is well below the 2014values, when milk prices were very high and feedprices were moderate. The large drop in the milkprice is the driver of the lower IOFC, although feedcosts are slightly higher than the average for 2014.Income over feed cost reflects daily gross milkincome less feed costs for an average cow producing65 pounds of milk per day.

The milk margin is the estimated amount of thePennsylvania all milk price that remains after feedcosts per hundredweight of milk production are paid.Like income over feed cost, this measure shows thatthe April Pennsylvania milk margin was five percenthigher than in March.

Dunn also points out that the dollar’s value isdown somewhat, with the euro and Australian dollarup 2.9 percent and 4.6 percent, respectively, whilethe New Zealand dollar fell 0.8 percent. Perhaps thegains in the dollar recently overestimated the differ-ences between our economy and those of the othercountries, Dunn said.

The fighting in Eastern Ukraine has calmed down,although Russia continues to foment trouble. Thestronger dairy prices also reflect a reduction in thegrowth of milk production, which will help keep ourproduction surpluses in line with our export sales.

The news for dairy markets has been largely nega-tive recently, although the drought in New Zealandcontinues to hurt its milk production. The drought,combined with the lower world dairy prices, is hurtingthe New Zealand economy overall. New Zealandprices fell 3.5 percent in the latest Global Dairy Tradeauction. Dairy is New Zealand’s largest single exportcategory and the dairy sector generates a significantshare of the country’s gross domestic product.

By TIM KROHNMankato Free Press

Losses in poultry pro-duction and relatedbusinesses due to avianinfluenza are estimatedat nearly $310 millionin Greater Minnesota,according to a newlyreleased emergencyeconomic impact analysis from Univer-sity of Minnesota Extension.

Brigid Tuck, Extension senior ana-lyst based in Mankato, said that as thevirus spreads the losses will mount.And, if affected farms can’t get back toproduction relatively quickly, thelosses will grow.

“If barns stay empty for another cycleof poultry production, these numberscould potentially double,” Tuck said.

Just this past weekend a large opera-tion in Renville County announced itwas going to kill two million of itschickens because the avian flu had ear-lier been found in one of their barns.Those losses, and other flu reportssince May 11, were not included in theExtension loss estimates.

Poultry production and processing isa $3 billion industry in the state —

about seven percent ofthe ag economy.

The analysts deter-mined that for everymillion dollars indirect losses, the esti-mated ripple effectleads to $1.8 millionin overall economiclosses, including

$450,000 in wages.One of the hardest hit will be the

companies that make feed for the poul-try industry. For every $1 million oflost poultry production, nearly$230,000 of demand for poultry feed islost. Many of the largest poultry opera-tions have their own feed mill opera-tions located on their farms.

New Vision Feed in Mankato pro-duces feed for area chicken operations,but its customers haven’t been hit yet.

“We’ve been fortunate so far — knockon wood.” manager Brian Storm said.“It we do get hit it would have a bigimpact. Poultry food is about 25 per-cent (of our business).”

Tuck said Extension works with a lotof rural communities and she hopesthe report can help those hit by avianflu to form a response.

“Our community partners wanted thisinformation. We are hoping the commu-nities that are hard hit will be able tomake some plans, not to just help theproducers but the others affected.”

She said Extension has recom-mended that more followup studies bedone as the flu plays out. Many expertspredict the flu spread should slowdown as summer temperatures rise,but they say it’s likely that the avianflu will be around for at least anotheryear or two.

In this area the biggest operation tobe hit was one in northeastern NicolletCounty with one million chickens.

Some of the biggest turkey andchicken producers are in Renville,Kandiyohi and Stearns counties.

Besides producers and feed suppliers,trucking jobs and poultry processingjobs are also being hit hard, Tuck said.

And she said, other businesses canstart to feel the effects. “The veterinar-ian medicine and even banking andelectricity are affected, businesses wedon’t think of off the top of our heads.”

SPICER, Minn. — A model show-ing the water runoff from four differ-ent soil surface conditions was aneffective learning tool at the PrairieWoods Environmental Learning Cen-ter in Spicer.

Melanie Dickman, NaturalResources Conservation Service dis-trict conservationist for KandiyohiCounty, was on hand to explain howthe model worked.

“We have a rainfall simulator dis-play with four soils just pulled out ofthe field this morning,” she said. “Onewas moldboard plowed, one from atwo-year alfalfa stand, one with highcorn residue from conservationtillage, and the fourth a mulch tillagesample after soybeans.

“Using the simulator, we appliedone inch of water over these four soils.Then using two plastic containers, weare measuring runoff from each plusthe plastic container underneath eachsoil shows the infiltration rates.”

As expected, the most runoff camefrom the plowed field and the leastfrom the alfalfa which also had themost infiltration. The experiment

shows that due to alfalfa’s heavy rootstructure, rain over an alfalfa fieldtends to stay in the soil.

The NRCS display offered the follow-ing learning points:

• One inch of rainfall provides over27,000 gallons of water per acre;

• On a hot day, evapotranspirationcan reach 8,000 gallons per acre;

• Residue on the soil surface mayreduce annual water needs by more

than 80,000 gallons peracre.

Minimizing the windand water erosion thatdepletes soil is part ofthe mission of NRCS.Dickman indicated thatthe service’s SoilHealth Initiative withan emphasis on mini-mum tillage, covercrops, and more diver-sity in cropping is help-ing greatly in totalefforts toward improv-ing water quality acrossMinnesota.

Dickman is promotingthe EnvironmentalQuality Incentives Pro-

gram, better known as EQIP, whichprovides assistance for many conser-vation efforts to improve soil acrossthe landscape.

“There are lots of options: tree plant-

ing, installation of an ag waste pit,seeding cover crops, etc. It offers lots ofchoices to give each producer an incen-tive for upgrading conservation on hisfarm,” Dickman said.

In addition, new ConservationReserve Program lease payments arebeing implemented or restored on farmland with 10- to 15-year durations andyearly payments ranging in the $250to $300 per acre category, but thatdepends upon each particular county.

“Three-dollar corn is creating lots ofnew interest in CRP,” she said.

The Prairie Woods EnvironmentalLearning Center is at the edge of theAlexandria moraine complex, which ishilly and pitted with lakes. A moraineis a land feature that consists of debrissuch as rock, sand and gravel droppedby a glacier as it moved across thelandscape.

Melanie Dickman was interviewed atthe Spicer Earth Day event April 25. ❖

The Skatin’ Place,St. Cloud, Minn.

It’s 7:30 p.m. on a warm early sum-mer Saturday evening at the Skatin’Place on St. Cloud’s south side.

The party room is buzzing with parentsand children of various ages — some onskates, others not. A group of teenagershas started a laser tag game and a coupleof boy-girl pairs are in the game arcadetrying their luck. Ann, the Saturdaymanager, is serving up soft drinks to kidson skates who swish or wobble away,depending on skating abilities.

“It used to be that you could just haveskating for the kids,” Ann said, “butnow you have to have a lot of differentactivities to keep their attention.”

The Skatin’ Place has lots to do butthe heart of a roller rink is still the bigskating space. Tonight is retro-night sothere are 20-some people of all agesand abilities swirling about undermulti-colored flashing disco lights tothe beat of ’70s and ’80s music. There’seven two little girls rolling carefullyalong the edge of the rink. Their head-bands have flashing red-green-yellowlights and there’s a small boy withpink flashing sunglasses. There arealso a few highly skilled elders in bell-bottoms and paisley shirts skatingbackwards and doing fancy foot work.

In an oval in the rink’s center is

Brent Lenz, who has been skating formost of his 50-some years. He’s doingsome highly complicated maneuvers tosome favorite dance tunes.

“I’ve been coming here since ’88,”said Lenz, who drives 60 miles to get toSt. Cloud. “My mom was a roller skaterand she took me skating at the DreamLand in Long Prairie when I was fiveyears old. Now it’s in my blood.”

Lenz learned to skate, fell in love,found a mentor, and even inventedsome roller skate improvements at theDream Land. When they tore it downit broke his heart.

Now he skates regularly at theSkatin’ Place. The scene hasn’tchanged much over the decades. Thereare toddlers, teenagers and older peo-ple skating or learning to skate on theglistening floor. Skating has alwaysbeen an intensely personal but alsopublic experience. Skaters get wrappedup in their world of movement, music,and lights just feet away from otherskaters in their own world. There maybe more activities but the basicshaven’t changed.

“It’s fun,” Ann said. “You should try it.”Visit www.saintcloudskatinplace.com
