...keeps the beef cattle fed (with hay)By TIM KINGThe Land Correspondent

STAPLES, Minn. — Steve “Gilby”Gilbertson fed his last apples to feedercalves in early April.

“I ran out. I don’t have any more,” he said.Gilbertson operates a 200-acre beef

ranch and apple orchard south of Staples.The orchard has some 2,000 trees and theapples that aren’t sold for wholesale pur-poses are cut up, sun-dried, and stored inlarge coolers to feed to feeder calves.

“I wean them and keep them for anothermonth and then I sell them as 550- to600-pound feeders,” he said. “I don’t givethem too much. Just enough to give themthe extra sugar they need.”

Gilbertsons’ black baldy and blackAngus calves don’t get any grain.

“We don’t have any grain on the farm,”

he said. “They get what we have — applesand hay.”

The calves relish the apples and arehealthy and grow rapidly so Gilbertsonisn’t overly concerned that there isn’tmuch information available on the nutri-tional value of apples for them.

“I called the University of Minnesota acouple of times but they didn’t have any-body that could help me with this,” he said.“What I found out is that an apple hasabout 100 calories per apple. Basically theyare getting sugar. I saw some studies from awhile back and they fed some heifers andapples came up fairly identical to corn. Ifyou have extra apples you can replace corn.”

Gilbertson’s conclusions mirror those of astudy done with lactating dairy cows in India.In that study Indian researchers replaced athird of the corn ration with apple pomace.Pomace is what’s left after apple juice is

made. Overall production, as well as milk fat,was the same with cows on the apple-cornration as it was on the straight corn ration.

Another study, done at Michigan StateUniversity, fed pomace to beef cattle andanalyzed its nutrient value. The studyfound that total digestible nutrients forapples was 69.7, for pomace it was 63.4,corn silage was 72.0, and corn was 90.0.Fat was somewhat higher in the corn andsilage than in the apple products.

The Michigan study speculated that toomany apples could damage an animal’srumen but the researchers appear not tohave pursued that issue. When a visitorsees a dozen of Gilbertson’s bred cows comethundering up at high speed to get somefresh apple treats, it is apparent that theyhaven’t pursued the matter either.See APPLES, pg. 8A

Sure, summer won’t officially be hereuntil June 21, but now’s as good a time asany to start making plans for some well-deserved rest and recreation.

The center of this week’s issue of TheLand is our annual guide to Minnesotaand northern Iowa festivals, designed tobe pulled out and set aside for use allsummer long. Leave it on your coffeetable, put it in your magazine rack; youwon’t want to lose this one.

Chances are you won’t have to travel farto find a unique community celebrationfull of great food and entertainment.Taking a trip down the road can be acheap alternative to taking that big fam-ily vacation this summer, and you’ll get to know yourneighbors better while you’re at it.

We crammed as many festivals into this issue aswe could, but there were simply too many to includethem all — please visit www.TheLandOnline.com toview our complete listing.

Welcome to summer

Minnesota farmers and rural residents should bevery upset with Gov. Mark Dayton’s “50-foot bufferstrip” policy initiative. The proposed law would forcefarmers to take 50 feet of land out of productionalong the back slope of agricultural drainage ditches.

Fifty feet doesn’t sound like much but it couldequate to 5-10 percent of the acres in many fields.The proposed law started out as a way to increasepheasant habitat, but shifted to arguing that waterquality would benefit, when it was clear that forcingfarmers to provide habitat for pheasant hunterswouldn’t fly.

Dayton accused farmers of creating “cesspools.”Nothing could be farther from the truth and the Gov-ernor should apologize for this statement. Muchresearch done in Minnesota shows that water from

agricultural lands has equal or better water qualitythan before European settlement.

The impact of modern agriculture on water qualitycan best be demonstrated with a few historical com-parative examples. One is from a 2002 MinnesotaPollution Control Agency report of historical lakephosphorus levels. The phosphorus concentration oflakes is a standard indicator of water quality. Lowerlevels indicate less nutrient enrichment.

The MPCA identified lakes across Minnesota thatcould be used as “background” indicator lakes. Fivelakes in southern Minnesota were selected whichrepresented predominately agricultural watersheds.Cores from the lakes were age-dated and phosphorus

Commentary: Mandatory 50-footbuffers won’t improve water quality

COMMENTARY, from pg. 2Aconcentrations for years 1750 and1990 were determined. The averagelevel for 1750 was 48 parts per billion,while the level for 1990 was 46 ppb.Water quality representing modernagriculture was slightly better thanlevels representing pre-Euro-pean settlement.

A second example is pro-vided by the Department of Natural Resources.Trout stream quality water is viewed as the pinna-cle of good water quality. Trout are not native to theMinnesota River Basin, because the native waterquality would not support reproducing populationsof trout. The DNR introduced European BrownTrout to the basin many years ago. Initially, theydidn’t reproduce because water warmed in the wet-lands that fed the streams.

However, today there are reproducing populationsof Brown Trout in many streams within the basinfed by agricultural drainage ditches. Most of theseditches do not have the 50-foot “buffer” on the back-slope. The agricultural practices in these water-

sheds are representative of modern agriculturethroughout the state.

The Governor’s perception that agriculture is pro-ducing “cesspools” is completely contradicted byfacts and the evidence. Agriculture is actuallyimproving water quality relative to the native con-ditions. Many other unbiased studies clearly showthat agriculture is good for water quality and farm-ers should be proud of their stewardship.

Some evidence actually indicates that the 50-footbuffer proposal could reduce water quality; as wellas, reduce duck nesting success. The Governor needsto ask his commissioners why he is being misin-formed.

The proposed buffer law comes withsignificant cost to individual farmersand will negatively impact ruraleconomies. In Brown County about $25million of land will be taken out of pro-duction, with about $50 million in Red-wood and nearly $75 million in Renvillecounties. Statewide, about $1 billion inland will be confiscated from farmers.In addition, the loss of production from

this land could have an estimated $500 millionannual negative impact on the rural economy.

Call Gov. Dayton — (800) 657-3717 — and yourlegislators and tell them that farmers, the environ-ment and rural Minnesota can’t afford his bufferproposal. Also, tell the Governor he should get hisfacts straight about agriculture and water qualityin the future.

This commentary was submitted by Greg Bartz,President, Brown County Farm Bureau Board;Steven Commerford, Policy Chair, Brown CountyFarm Bureau Board; and Richard Trebesch, Presi-dent, Brown County Corn and Soybean GrowersAssociation Board. ❖

OPINION

Spring’s fast run throughApril all but stopped twoweeks ago when an inch ofcold, November-like raintook most of a Saturday tofall. A noon survey of thebackyard that dreary dayshowed nothing moving savetwo Canada geese grazing inthe gray drizzle like two Jer-sey cows in sunlit clover.

Another stumble camefour evenings later whenweather forecasters calledfor a “light” freeze.

What’s a “light” freeze? Iwondered. Any freeze, regardless of itsweight or shade, would turn my eight,just-transplanted tomato plants intodead dishrags. (Yes, I was pushing theMay planting season in an effort to pullthe tomato season into June. I have athree-letter defense, though: BLT. Inno-cent, right?)

The tomatoes made it because thefreeze didn’t. Each of the followingdays, however, refused to warm — even“lightly” — to the previous week’s

shirtsleeve temperaturesand a cool northwest breezekept suggesting that wintermight yet have something tosay. I kept an ear turned inthat direction, just in case.

Between the always graz-ing geese and the stretch ofcool weather, the lawn (suchthat a never-fertilized, dan-delion-decorated, unevenstand of bluegrass, ladinoclover, and creeping red fes-

cue can be called a lawn)went back to sleep foranother week or so. That

was a good thing. No mowing meantmore time to, well, bum.

Good things, however, rarely lastwhen it comes to lawn care. Themomentary retreat of the grassinspired the dandelions to seize thehigh, low, and middle ground and, in amatter of days, the yellow army stoodin total triumph. The nearby daffodils,out-gunned and out-yellowed, surren-dered three days later.

Spring’s cold snap caused dandelions to seize ground

GUEBERT, from pg. 4AThe cool weather encouraged our

many flowering trees to remain in bloomfor what has to be a record three weeks. Even todaythe crabapples continue to be fluffy pink, red andcream-colored bows that tie the blue sky to sur-rounding carpets of ivy and grass.

In the front of the house, a tidy line of four appletrees stands just in front of an untidy line ofuncountable redbud trees. Both have held the edge ofa nearby woods in pink and white gloves sinceEaster, an astonishingly long time.

In fact, I cannot ever recall seeing apple trees andredbud trees in bloom for weeks and weeks. Eachtime I pass the colorful line on my way to the tool-shed I think that same thought. Then, each time Iwalk from the toolshed back past the line, I think:You will never see this again.

Indeed, last Saturday, while on another slow trip tothe shed, I got lost in the color of the trees andstopped to stare at the soft, lovely haze. How long Istood there I can’t say. I can say, however, that after-wards I wondered if anyone had seen me.

The maple trees and morels have been delayed bythe delayed spring. Both need warmer nights, Ireckon, before either will risk a daylight appearance.That’s two good reasons to look forward to a renewedrun at warmth.

The farmers, too, slowed corn planting a couple ofdays after Mother Nature slowed spring. Oh, theyflew at their big task the same week I planted mytomatoes but they, like me, knew it was plenty earlyto go full throttle.

Several days at idle, including another slow Satur-day filled with cold drizzle, restored their zeal,though, and earlier this week all attacked again. Offi-cially, government bean counters claim corn plantingis but 38 percent complete. An unofficial windshieldreport puts it closer to completely complete.

That means May is upon us and soon,too, will be warm June and heat-soaked

July. Until then, I’ll be on the porchwatching this almost eternal spring slip its perfectcoolness and lingering color because, Lord knows, I

may never see it again.The Farm and Food File is published weekly

Lignin, the complex organic com-pound that binds to cellulose fiber andhardens and strengthens the cell wallsof plants, increases yields but makesalfalfa and other forage grass difficultfor livestock to digest. Alforex Seeds’solution is Hi-Gest Alfalfa with reducedlignin and improved fiber digestibility.

Alforex Seeds introduced a dormantand semi-dormant variety in October

2014. Kent Fabel, district salesmanager for Alforex Seeds,explained that the dormantvariety is for northern climateswhere winter survival some-what depends upon dormancy.

Fabel said that in matureplant tissue lignin increasesyield, but negatively affects for-age quality and interferes withanimal digestion. To minimize thisyield-versus-quality dilemma, produc-

ers have traditionally harvestedat the late bud stage or by one-tenth bloom to reach a compro-mise of yield and quality.

Alforex Seeds addressed thisconflict with Hi-Gest Alfalfa,which provides a significantreduction in plant lignin andimproves fiber digestibility.These new varieties are esti-

mated to have a seven to 10 percentlignin reduction depending on harvestmaturity stage and management prac-tices.

According to University of Wisconsindata, increasing neutral detergentfiber digestibility by one percent willincrease relative forage quality 2-3percent, increase milk per ton by 21pounds and increase milk per acre by167 pounds. Additionally, the studyshows that a one percent increase inforage NDFD yields a 0.4 increase indry matter intake and a 0.51-poundincrease in milk yield.

Low lignin technology benefits pro-ducers in that they do not need toadjust harvesting or feeding practices.

“They can produce dairy quality hayat their normal 28-day cutting sched-ules, or choose to increase yield out to35-days cuttings without sacrificingquality,” he said.Enchanted Dairy

Ron Miller, of Enchanted Dairy, LittleFalls, Minn., is interested in low-ligninalfalfa for his 1,800-cow dairy farm.

“We can’t do a four-cut harvest verywell because of timing. We’d like tostay in our current three-cut systembut increase our quality comparable tothat of a four-cut system,” said Miller.

Extending the period in between cut-tings without any sacrifice in quality,which low-lignin alfalfas apparentlycan provide, appeals to his businessstrategy.

“We don’t like cutting every 28 days.It seems we’re always crowded in ourwork schedules. So if we can get into a35-day cutting schedule, that simplyworks better in our total operation,”said Miller.

He’s looking forward to switching alltheir alfalfa stands to low-lignin as theseed becomes available. A four-yearduration of alfalfa seedings is thenorm at Enchanted Dairy.

“If we let it go five years the standquality is down as is the productivity,”said Miller. “Four years allows us toget manure back on those fields andrebuild their nutrient levels. You go toolong and you’re holding back otheracres that really should be back intoalfalfa.”Forage grasses

Forage grasses are increasing in pop-ularity — both in mixing in withalfalfa or growing straight foragegrasses.

“Better feed value, increased palata-bility, more variety for the animalswhich in turn promotes better healthand more longevity in your livestockare reasons farmers share with me,”Fabel said.

ALFALFA, from pg. 6Afew summer annuals. Alfalfa, however, continues tobe the No. 1 forage seed in its lineup. Nutritionalvalue and longevity is what continues to keep alfalfathe queen of forages, said Fabel.

As more producers get concerned about soil health,deep-rooted alfalfa is building soil nitrogen levelswhile improving soil texture. Cover crops are alsoworking their way into Alforex products.

“Cover crops can be used for fall and spring forageafter harvest of a wheat crop. Cover crops build nutri-ent value in your soils by deep rooting and bringing

up nutrients natu-rally occurring inyour soils but atdeeper levels,” Fabelsaid.

“A radish willpunch roots downthree feet or more toloosen up hardpanconditions. And awinter cover cropsuch as winter triti-cale or winter rye orwinter peas can pro-vide good foragevalue early the nextspring, or as greenmanure in anorganic farmingoperation.”

Low commodity prices may actually have a posi-tive impact on forage seed sales.

“In fact with less corn acres predicted, some growersmight be looking for alternative crops, especially ifthey have livestock and/or neighbors that might beneeding additional forage feeds,” said Fabel.

“There’s definitely more interest in building micro-bial activity in soils so I think there’s a good future for

alfalfas and other forage crops, including selectedcover crops.”

Alforex seeds was formed in November, 2012 whenDow AgroSciences combined the alfalfa and forageseeds breeding programs of Cal West, Producer’s

Choice and Grand Central into a single entity basedin Woodland, Cal. Visit www.alforexseeds.com orcall 800-824-8585 for more information.

APPLES, from pg. 1A“Once I sell the feeders I feed what ever

is left to the bred cows,”he said.“They eatthem out of my hands or out of the feederor however they can get them from me.They come running up to me to get theirapples and even the wild ones get tamerwith an apple. They all get them eitherchopped or sliced. You can’t risk one ofthem choking on a whole apple.”

Gilbertson invented a machine toslice whole apples. It operates on a onehorsepower electric motor and con-sists of a chute leading to 18 table sawblades mounted on a shaft. Once theblades are spinning he dumps bucketsof apples into the machine and theslices fall into a bin. He can feed the

sliced apples directly, or sun and air-dry them before putting them in largeapple storage coolers for later use.

“I used to finish steers on the apple-hay ration but with the price of feedersI’d rather sell them,” he said. “They fin-ish out nice on the apples but carryingthem over for the extra year or moredoesn’t make sense.”Low capital

Gilbertson likes his location for rais-ing and marketing beef cattle. He iscentrally located between sales barnsin Motley, Pierz and Long Prairie.

“If I have a cow I need to cull I can takeher a few miles to Long Prairie Packingand get a good price for her,” he said.

Gilbertson also likes his low-capital,

low-rust style of farming. His rust pre-vention program involves not owningtillage equipment or grain plantingand harvesting equipment.

“All we have is equipment for hayingand a no-till drill,” he said. “With the no-till drill we don’t have to plow. Normally,I seed a pasture mix that has orchardgrass, timothy, brome, alfalfa and clover.I rotate the cows over our 200-acre farmfrom field to field and we also cut hay offthe fields. Every year we leave one fieldof 10 to 20 acres fallow and let it grow.At the end of the season I’ll put the cat-

tle on that. They don’t really care for itthat much, but it gives the soil extraorganic matter on top and in the roots.”

In the dozen years Gilbertson hasbeen on the farm all of the fields havebeen converted to hay and grass.

“I left the city and a job in computerswhen I was 40,” he said. “I really didn’tknow much about plowing or manag-ing grain crops but haying isn’t thathard. Besides, I didn’t want to tie up alot of money in equipment and beequipment poor. This is a good way forthe average person to get into farmingwithout debt. Go out and buy someland and fund your own growth.”

Gilbertson fully expects the price forfeeders to drop in the not too distantfuture. When it does he’ll go back tofinishing steers on apples.

“I’ll get my premium by sellinggrass-fed and apple-finished beefdirectly to consumers,” he said. “Theyfatten and marble with apples reallynicely. They just go wild for apples.” ❖

BY MARIE WOODThe Land Associate Editor

MORGAN, Minn. — TheMinnesota Supreme Courtruled that when a Minnesotafarmer elects the Buy the Farmstatute, utility companies con-structing power lines across farmlandmust “buy the farm” instead of simplypurchasing easement rights.

This landmark court case was a mat-ter of principle for retired farmer DaleTauer of Morgan, whose Buy the Farmrequest was challenged by Great RiverEnergy and its partners in theCapX2020 project.

“It was more about principle thanpay,” he said. “The principle was they(utility companies) shouldn’t be able toget away with this.”

Chief Justice Lorie S. Gildea upheldthe state district court decision andthe state court of appeals affirmationto order Great River Energy to buy theTauer property, roughly 218 acres, inits entirety.

CapX2020, in cooperation with 11utility companies, is a project expand-ing the transmission grid and support-ing renewable energy across Min-nesota, North Dakota, South Dakotaand Wisconsin.

Tim Carlsgaard, communications andpublic affairs manager for CapX2020and Xcel Energy, said they challengedbecause it wasn’t reasonable to buy 218acres when only an 8.86-acre easementwas needed. The challenge was basedon precedents set by 1980 and 1984Buy the Farm rulings, which broughtup the issue of reasonableness.

“We only needed a nine-acreeasement, but even then itwas only one structure on theproperty that was farmable,”said Carlsgaard. “The otherfactor we looked at is nohouse, no farm building on theproperty.”

The judges didn’t see it thatway and the decision sets a

precedent for landowners’ rights. Sincethe March ruling, Tauer has receivedcalls from other farmers excited aboutthe decision.

Mike Rajkowski, of Quinlivan &Hughes in St. Cloud, is Tauer’s attor-ney and an experienced litigator inlandowners’ rights and CapX2020cases.

“For farmers it’s a huge case becauseit gives clarity to the Buy the Farmstatute,” said Rajkowski.

Farmers are eligible to make the Buythe Farm election in the case of highvoltage power lines of 200 kilovolts ormore as long as the land is commer-cially viable. They must do so within60 days of being served the petition.

The next step, likely in June, is theRedwood County Condemnation Com-mission. A panel of three commission-ers will listen to testimony, reviewappraisals from Tauer and a represen-tative from Great River Energy andset a price for the land.

“No one’s disputing the need for elec-tricity. It’s just a matter of being givena fair price for their land,” saidRajkowski.

Commissioners will look at what theentire property is worth before thepower line came through, he said.

BUY THE FARM, from pg. 9A“In the end,” said Carlsgaard, “the Supreme Court

came down with that decision. We respect that deci-sion. We will work to come up with a settlementwith the Tauers.”Eminent domain

In November 2012, CapX2020 utility companiescondemned the 8.86-acre easement and then tookan additional 3.38 acres for an access easement,according to supreme court records. That’s roughly12 acres altogether. While the matter is being set-tled in court, the power company, under quick takerules, can install power lines after 90 days.

Two high voltage power poles were installed onthe Tauer property in 2013. A third power pole wasconstructed on the corner of the plot, said Tauer.

Utility companies have the power of eminentdomain to take private properties for public use.Landowner’s rights are protected in the 5th Amend-ment by the clause: “nor shall private property betaken for public use, without just compensation.”

In Minnesota, landowners also have the Buy theFarm law. Buy the Farm was passed in 1977 by theMinnesota Legislature after farmer protests over ahigh-voltage power line from North Dakota to the TwinCities. The law gives landowners the rights to makeutility companies buy the entire piece of property.

Dale and Janet Tauer were first contacted in June2012 by a CapX2020 representative with the ease-ment request. Tauer wanted it in writing that hecould farm the easement and build and repair tilewithout permission from the power company.

“I really wanted a few changes made in the lan-guage of the easement,” said Tauer. “They weren’t

willing to do that.”Carlsgaard said that CapX2020 has no record that

Tauer asked for that language. He said the struc-tures consist of one pole on a cement foundation sofarmers can farm right up to the structure.

“You still own the property,” said Carlsgaard. “Thecontract states that you can do anything in thateasement as long as you don’t damage the pole.”

The CapX2020 appraisal value of the easementwas $30,100, Carlsgaard said. Negotiations began at$4,000 per acre. Tauer rejected the final, best offer of$56,000, which averaged about $6,300 an acre.

Adjacent land was $12,400 per acre at that timeand Tauer said his land would have appraised forover $10,000 an acre. That’s one reason he electedBuy the Farm.

“They felt ‘buy the farm’ meant buy the 10 acres,”said Tauer. “I’m a little stubborn.”

Tauer was renting out the Redwood County field in2012 and then his son began farming the field in 2013.

“If he did not want to live next to the power line, Iunderstand it,” said Carlsgaard. “But he didn’t live

next to the power line. We should be clear about that.We went through the scrubland.”

Tauer exercised his right to take the money andbuy a different parcel of farmland without the com-plications.

In Jackson County, Tauer has farmland with powerpoles erected by enXco, now called EDF RenewableEnergy based in California. Complications frompower poles on that property cost him $23,000 in tilerepairs.CapX2020

While the CapX project is winding down, the needfor power and infrastructure will continue.

Since 2009, CapX2020 utility partners have beenconstructing transmission lines that cover 800 milesand cost an estimated $2 billion, according to itswebsite. The vast majority of easements have beenpurchased.

CapX has dealt with about 2,000 landowners andonly 100 have made Buy the Farm elections, saidCarlsgaard. Of those 100, the majority have beensingle family homes with one or two acres who didnot want a structure in the backyard, he said.

Of the remaining 1,900 properties, he said mostwere farming and livestock operations.

Carlsgaard said that CapX staff were dedicated tosatisfying landowners in the field during the con-struction phase — repairing broken tiles and payingcrop damages for up to three years. They purchased7,000 mats to drive on to alleviate soil compaction.

“These guys have worked really hard to make surethat landowners and farmers are happy after theyworked on the project,” Carlsgaard said. ❖

Grain AnglesCrop insurance

payoutsIn 2014 revenue protection crop insurance prices

were projected at $4.62; however the harvest priceof corn was $3.49 for this insurance policy. Thatmeant large losses assumed by some states; Min-nesota had the largest loss ratio at 3.01, according tothe University of Illinois.

This means that for every dol-lar of insurance premium paid inMinnesota there was 3.01 timesthat amount paid to the farmerfor losses caused by lower pricesor yields. The report goes on toshow that Iowa, too, had highloss ratios at 2.21 for corn insur-ance policies.

Many states such as Illinois,Indiana and Ohio had record ornear-record yields resulting inlittle no losses on insurance poli-cies. In general, nationwide pay-outs on soybeans were 0.54, sothe payments made to farmers was about half of thetotal premium. Corn loss ratios on 69.9 million acresinsured were 1.04 nationwide which is essentiallythe goal, to keep loss ratios at the premium amount.The accompanying table shows how the revenueinsurance loss ratios were paid out by state.

After taking a look at the chart it’s evident thatcrop insurance continues to play an important rolein farm safety nets. With volatility in prices, andunpredictable weather resulting in variable yields,crop insurance will continue to be at the foundationof farmers’ risk management plans.

Given its important role, it is likely that attemptsto make changes to the Federal crop insurance pro-gram will continue. Be sure to contact your electedofficials and share your story about the importanceof crop insurance as these proposals surface. Also,

Grain OutlookCorn down asplanters roll

The following market analysis is for the week end-ing May 1.

CORN — Corn extended last week’s losses asplanters rolled across the Midwest, bird flu continued tospread, and directional traders increased their netshort position. Producers pushedto plant ahead of forecasted rainfor the coming week. Country sell-ing remains light at currentprices, keeping basis levels firm.Weakness was felt across the agri-cultural sector despite the U.S. dol-lar index retreating in seven out ofthe last eight trading sessions.

The Federal Reserve is indicat-ing there is no pressing reason toincrease interest rates quickly,but left the possibility that anincrease could still occur in June.The popular opinion is that ratesmay not rise until later this year. The U.S. GrossDomestic Product growth in the first quarter wasonly 0.2 when a 1.0 increase was anticipated.

The July corn contract dropped 6 3⁄4 cents to closethe week at $3.63 and the December contract was 8cents lower at $3.80 1⁄4 per bushel. July corn dipped toits lowest level since last October. Weekly export saleswere larger than expected at 32.8 million bushels and4.4 million bushels for new crop. We need to average15.2 million bushels of sales per week to hit the U.S.Department of Agriculture 1.8 billion bushel exportforecast. Last year from this date forward, we aver-aged 9.2 million bushels of weekly sales.

Weekly ethanol production was down 9,000 barrelsper day at 921,000 barrels per day. Ethanol stocks weredown 545,000 barrels to 20.8 million barrels. TheBuenos Aires Grain Exchange updated their Argentine

Livestock AnglesGrills fire up,

sales riseThe month of May has brought an increased move-

ment in product for both beef and pork. Not only isgrilling season moving into full swing but the bird flu isreducing the poultry population at the same time. Therehas been a distinct increase in retail interest in accumu-lating inventory of pork and beef,but whether this improved interestholds is yet to be determined.

The cattle market has seen basi-cally the cash price paid for cattleremain fairly constant, while thebeef cutout has slipped slightlyover the past few weeks. It appearsthe main reason for the slightdecline in the beef cutout is thefact that the inventory over thepast few months of beef in storagehas grown and packers want tomove this excess inventory.

All of this, with continued tightsupplies of live cattle, has kept the live price paid for ani-mals steady with a firm undertone. On the other hand,the futures market is anticipating that the cattle marketwill remain on a slow descent in price into the summerand fall months. This continues to leave the disparity offutures well-discounted to the cash price paid for cattle.

The caveat still remains the large disparity betweenthe pork cutout and the beef cutout, which makes thepork a much better value than beef at the wholesaleand retail level. Obviously this is dependent on the con-sumer in the final sale. Therefore, the producer shouldcontinue to monitor market conditions and remain cog-nizant that discount in the futures are there for a rea-son, and protect inventories as warranted.

It finally appears that the hog market has estab-lished its typical spring low with the continuation ofthe recent rallies. While interest in pork remains

NYSTROM, from pg. 15Acorn production from 23 million metrictons to 25 mmt.The USDA is at 24 mmt.

Confirmed avian bird flu cases continue to grow withthe first case in a broiler operation reported in Iowa.Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin have all declared astate of emergency. If the bird flu hit your operation, itis devastating; however, the overall effect so far tomeal and corn demand has been minimal. But percep-tion is reality, and the perception is that feed demandwill suffer. Warmer weather should help curb the out-breaks, but it is “highly probable” it will return whentemperatures cool in the fall, according to reports.

The $84.2 million in Animal Plant Health InspectionService funds for bird flu are reportedly nearlydepleted.Ag Secretary Vilsack is asking for more fund-ing to come from the Commodity Credit Corporation aswe head for the largest death toll due to bird flu in U.S.history. Iowa is the nation’s largest egg producing stateand Minnesota is the nation’s largest turkey producer.

Corn was 19 percent planted as of April 26, laggingthe 25 percent average for that date. For the weekending May 3, corn planting is estimated anywherefrom 40 percent to 55 percent complete with emer-gence around 10 percent. The five-year average is 38percent complete by May 3 and the 20-year average is43 percent complete. The five-year average plantingprogress for May 10 is 58 percent. Forecasted rain inthe western Corn Belt will be welcome with most ofthe area showing at least some level of drought. SouthDakota had the driest January-March since recordkeeping began in 1895. Minnesota, North and SouthDakota produce approximately 20 percent of total

U.S. production in both corn and soy-beans, so keep an eye on rainfall as we

move into emergence.OUTLOOK: On a seasonal basis since 2011,

December corn’s direction has been widely varied. Inboth 2013 and 2014, the sell-off began in early Mayand ended in September in 2014, but lasted until theend of November in 2013. In 2012, it rallied from mid-June until mid-August before it fell. In 2011, the rallybegan in earnest in July and lasted until late August,before tumbling into harvest. Weather has been thedriver in the past, and this year isn’t expected to beany different. Current forecasts for the Corn Beltlook conducive to the crop getting off to a very goodstart, with the welcome rains predicted in the west-ern Corn Belt and drier weather in the eastern CornBelt. The May 12 USDA monthly crop report willinclude our first look at the 2015-16 balance sheets.

July corn’s first level of support is $3.53 per bushelwith first resistance at $3.70 per bushel. The trend islower and any weather inspired rallies may be viewedas selling opportunities in both old and new crop.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans posted weekly losseswith the July contract falling 6 cents to $9.64 3⁄4 andthe November contract tumbling 11 3⁄4 cents to $9.403⁄4 per bushel. Record Argentine crop estimates con-tinued to climb. The Buenos Aires Grain Exchangebumped its soybean production from 58.5 mmt to 60mmt. The USDA is carrying them at 57 mmt.Argentina’s soybean harvest was pegged at 60 per-cent complete, just two percent behind the average.Their corn harvest had reached 32 percent completeby week’s end compared to 47 percent on average.

Brazilian farmers were sellers early in the week,bringing their total sales to 61 percent of the cropcompared to 69 percent sold last year at this time.

Weekly export sales were within estimates at 15.9million bushels for old crop with 4.4 million bushelsof net cancellations for new crop. It looked like a cou-ple of vessels were rolled back from new crop to oldcrop by China. Total soybean commitments are nowabove the 1.79 billion bushels USDA export projec-tion. The five-year average rollover of soybeans intonew crop is about 60 million bushels, suggesting westill need to average 2.0 million bushels of sales perweek to actually hit the target. China’s soybeanacreage this year is expected to fall 10-15 percentfrom last year. The government there is paying a $54per acre subsidy to plant soybeans in certain regions,but even that does not make planting soybeans themost profitable crop.

The Argentine government will meet with strikingboat captains, and possibly docking and loading work-ers, on May 4. The strike began April 28 and closedthe Rosario port. There were rumors the Argentinegovernment had ordered striking unions back towork, but there were also rumors that other unions(stevedores and crush workers) would join the strikeif no agreement is reached. Talk also circulated thestrike had been settled. Many traders are expectingthe strike will be resolved soon. In Brazil, the truckersstrike has had minimal impact on grain movement.

U.S. soybean planting was two percent complete asof April 26, only slightly behind the 4 percent aver-age. This week’s expectations are for 7-9 percentcomplete as of May 3, slightly less than the five-yearaverage of 11 percent and the 20-year average of 10percent complete.

OUTLOOK: On the weekly chart, July soybeansposted a key reversal lower. This suggests furtherweakness to come. First support in the July contractcomes at $9.50, then $9.35 1⁄4; with resistance at$9.95 to $10.00 per bushel. The volatility inArgentina and the possibility of switching sales backto the United States sides with the bulls; however,with favorable weather and rapid planting, the trendmay favor the bears. With the two sides trying tofind a balance, the $9.50 to $10.00 range may staywith us for awhile longer. ❖

TEALE, from pg. 15Avery good, which has helped with improved cashprices, the inventory of market-ready hogs hasdecreased in the past month. This has sparked thecurrent rally in both the futures and the cash mar-kets to levels not seen for several months.

With the futures well out ahead of the cash priceand a daily technical reversal on May 1, the hogmarket may have hit a plateau for a moment, which

could take some of the premium out of the futuresprices. As long as demand remains firm and hognumbers do not increase substantially, the hog mar-ket could likely remain relatively firm into the sum-mer months. The futures market could become a lit-tle more erratic until the premium to cash hasnarrowed into the May contract expiration. Thiswould suggest that producers stay very aware ofmarket signals and protect inventories as needed. ❖

As part of the 2014 farm bill, the U.S.Department of Agriculture was desig-nated to review and revise the “activelyengaged” in farming rules that determineindividuals that are eligible to receivegovernment farm program payments. Thecurrent actively engaged requirementshave been in place for nearly threedecades.

In late March, USDA announced someproposed revisions to the rules that aredesigned to further clarify some of the def-initions and rules surrounding therequirement for “management” in afarm operation. This could potentiallyrestrict certain individuals that cur-rently qualify for farm program payments from hav-ing future farm program payment eligibility begin-ning with the 2016 crop year.

The current regulation for farm program paymenteligibility states that a person may qualify for fed-eral farm program payments if they are “activelyengaged in farming,” which means that the individ-ual meets the following criteria:

• Individual made a significant contribution of cap-ital, equipment, or land;

• Individual provides personal labor or active per-sonal management to the farm operation.

In the past, the definition of management underthe current requirements has been interpreted quitebroadly by the USDA, which has allowed a largenumber of extra individuals to qualify for farm pro-gram payments. The controversy since the beginningof the current actively engaged requirement, whichstill continues with the current farm bill, has beenthat passive investors in farm operations that investin land or capital have been able to qualify for farmprogram payments, due to claims of providing regu-lar management to a farm operation.

By using this definition of the rule, farms that areorganized as general partnerships or joint ventureshave been able to increase total government pay-ments to a farm entity by having more than one indi-vidual in the entity qualified for farm program pay-ments. Some of these entities have 10 or moreindividuals that qualify for farm program payments.

There are many legitimate general farm partner-ships and joint ventures, where multiple individualsdeserve to qualify for farm program payments, andUSDA does not intend to affect these types of opera-tions by any proposed changes to the activelyengaged rules. This includes husbands and wives,father and sons, bothers, other family members andother legitimate farming partners that meet therequirements. However, the U.S. GovernmentAccountability Office filed a recent report thatshowed several examples of situations where thecurrent regulations have been used to expand farmprogram payment eligibility well beyond the originalintent of the actively engaged rule.

The GAO report found that general partnershipswere responsible for approximately 27 percent of thetotal farm operations that received farm programpayments in 2012, but that the individuals in these

general partnerships received nearly halfof the total payments. The GAO reportalso showed that 27 percent of the indi-viduals in general partnerships qualifiedfor farm program payment eligibility onthe basis of management alone, and only3 percent qualified on the basis of onlylabor alone. The balance qualified on thebasis of some combination of managementand labor.

The focus of the proposed changes is forthose individuals that qualified under the

management only criteria. The revi-sions in the actively engaged rulesbeing proposed by the USDA would

add more eligibility requirements fora farm entity wishing to have multiple individualsqualify for farm program payments. The new rulesare not intended to apply to farming operations thatare comprised entirely of spouses and other familymembers, or for legitimate partnerships where bothpartners are actively farming. The proposed rulesalso would not affect program payment eligibility forlandowners that rent their farm land to a farm oper-ator through a share rental agreement. There arealso no proposed changes to current rules for contri-butions of land, capital, equipment, or labor.

The primary focus of the actively engaged revisionswould focus on defining contributions to manage-ment of a farm operation where multiple individualsdesire farm program payment eligibility. This defini-tion is intended to apply to non-family members of a

farm business that are using management, ratherthan labor, as their qualifying criteria for farm pro-gram payment eligibility.

The proposed rule defines “active personal man-agement” as “those items critical to the profitabilityof the farming operation.” It would divide the man-agement activities into separate categories for farmcapital, labor, and agronomics, and marketing. Toqualify, a person must perform these managementduties on a regular and consistent basis, which isdefined as either 25 percent of total managementhours required by the farm operation, or at least500 hours of management annually. These require-ments are not intended to apply to the first, or pri-mary, farm manager in a farming operation.

Following are the new definitions for the manage-ment activities listed under active personal man-agement:

• Capital, land and safety-net programs —responsible to arrange financing, manage capital,acquire equipment, negotiate land purchases andleases, and manage crop insurance or USDA farmprogram decisions.

• Labor — Hire and manage farm labor.• Agronomics and marketing — Decide which

crops to plant, purchase crop inputs, manage grow-ing crops, and market crops in cash or futures mar-kets.

THIESSE, from pg. 17Aagement activities, such as attendanceat board meetings, conference calls orsimply watching commodity or inputmarkets, would not qualify as providingsignificant management to the farm.

Under the revised rules, no farmentity could have more than three per-sons qualify for farm program pay-ments as managers of the farm opera-tion. If the farm entity seeks to qualifymore than one person as a manager

than each additionalperson would berequired to keep arecord or log of their additional man-agement activities, to be submitted tothe Farm Service Agency office. Quali-fying additional managers would notbe automatic, and would need to beapproved by the FSA.

A farm entity could qualify for oneextra person for farm program eligibil-ity through the management definition

based on the size of thefarming operation. Acrop farm of at least

2,500 acres would meet this require-ment, which is based on farm manage-ment data showing that a full-timefarm manager (2,040 hours per year) iscapable of managing 2,527 crop acres.The USDA would allow for a variationin this requirement of up to 15 percent,or 375 acres, depending on unique cir-cumstances in the farming operation.

A sheep operation with more than3,500 ewes, or a honey bee operationwith over 10,000 hives, would also qual-ify as a large farming operation. Thereare separate farm program paymentsfor both wool and honey that fall underfarm program payment eligibility rules.

A farm entity could also meet the cri-teria for one additional person to qual-ify for farm program eligibility as afarm manager, based on the complexityof the farming operation, which is a bitmore complicated. The complexity ofthe operation refers to multiple cropsbeing produced, other non-programfarming entities (livestock, canningcrops, etc.), and non-traditional market-ing channels (export, organic, etc.).Evaluating the complexity of a farmingoperation is more subjective than deter-mining the size of a farm and wouldrequire FSA review and approval.

The proposed changes to activelyengaged rules would apply only to gen-eral partnerships and joint ventures,since these are the only type of farmentities that currently allow multipleindividuals to receive farm programpayments. Corporations or limited lia-bility corporations are currently noteligible for more than one paymentlimit, and this would not change underthe revised regulations.

The farm program payment limitunder the farm bill is $125,000 per indi-vidual for payments from all types offarm programs. So, in a general farmpartnership or joint venture that pay-ment limit would increase to $250,000for two qualifying individuals, $375,000for three individuals, and so on.

The proposed USDA changes in theactively engaged rules would be imple-mented under the farm bill for the2016-18 crop years but would not affectfarm program payments for the 2014 or2015 crop years.

It has been estimated the proposedrule changes would affect approxi-mately 1,400 farm operations in theUnited States, possibly resulting in areduction of farm program paymentsby as much as an estimated $50 million

over the three-year period. However,since farm program payments fromboth the new price loss coverage andagriculture risk coverage programs arebased on commodity market prices,actual federal dollar savings may vary.

The proposed USDA changes to theactively engaged rules are currentlyunder a 60-day review period for publiccomment, which is scheduled to end onMay 26, unless the comment time isextended. The USDA also wants inputon its revised definition of “active per-sonal management” of a farm opera-tion, and whether or not this is goodcriteria to utilize for farm programpayment eligibility. The USDA is alsowondering if there should be additionalcriteria or practices applied towarddetermining farm program paymenteligibility, or if there are some activi-ties not listed that are unique to cer-tain farming enterprises.

Even though the USDA has statedthat the proposed actively engaged rulechanges do not apply to family mem-bers in general partnerships and jointventures, they did not exclude this pro-vision from being part of the commentprocess.

Following the 60-day commentperiod, the USDA would be free toimplement the proposed changes inrequirements for future farm programpayment eligibility, beginning with the2016 crop year. If these proposedchanges become too controversial, or ifsome leaders in Congress get involved,the comment period could possibly beextended.

These proposed rule changes willlikely be welcomed by some as positivechanges in farm program payment eli-gibility, but will likely not be acceptedas well by the farm operations that aredirectly affected, or by groups thatwould like to see actively engaged cri-teria be made even stricter.

Cash cheese ends Apriland begins May in astronger-than-expected posi-tion. The Cheddar blocksclosed May 1 at $1.61 perpound, unchanged on the

week but 46 cents below a year agowhen they tumbled 14 cents, to $2.07per pound. The Cheddar barrels fin-ished at $1.6175, down a quarter-centon the week and 43.75 cents below ayear ago when they rolled 16.5 centslower, to $2.0550. Four cars of blockand none of barrel traded hands thisweek. The National Dairy ProductsSales Report-surveyed U.S. averageblock price hit $1.5925, up 1.4 cents.The barrels averaged $1.6575, up 1.8cents.

Has cheese put in a floor? Somebelieve that’s true, according to theApril 24 Dairy and Food Market Ana-lyst. “Given the conversations we hadat the Wisconsin Cheese Makers meet-ing this week, it feels like market sen-timent is changing,” Editor Jerry Dryerwrote. “After being very bearish forsome time, cheesemakers and othersgathered here in Madison, Wis., wereless bearish. In fact, some were evenbullish. While we don’t completelyagree, several people told us the cheesemarket has put in a floor for the yearand it will only move higher fromhere.”

Dryer adds that “We’re hearing twodifferent stories from cheesemakers:Some cheesemakers tell us they can’tmake enough cheese. Their plants areat full capacity with orders booked wellinto the future. This matches withwhat we’re hearing from traders; thecheese market is tight and some say ithas tightened over the past couple ofweeks. However; one major cheesemanufacturer is arguing that prices

should be significantly lower. Hepointed at growing inventories, weakexports and increasing imports.” Toread more, write Matt Gould atMGould@DairyMarketAnalyst.com.

National Dairy Month is just around the corner! The Land raises a glass ofmilk to our dairy farmers!

MIELKE, from pg. 19Ataking a personnel toll, leaving somecheese facility staff feeling “exhausted.”Some extra barrel production is occur-ring, but less so than last week. Inter-est in Cheddar remains strong, butItalian varieties, while still receivinggood demand, are closer to a desiredbalance. Most cheese manufacturersare satisfied with customer demandaccommodating higher available sea-sonal milk supplies going into cheese.

Most cheese plants in the West haveactive schedules and there is gooddemand for the output. Customers arestill buying good volumes of cheese.The question is increasingly asked, iscurrent demand active or holdinginventories of cheese for consumptionlater in the year? Whatever the answer,sales are strong and that is enough tokeep production schedules active.Recent demand spikes for barrels weretaken as typical by some manufactur-ers who cite building inventories forthe grilling season as a factor in higherseasonal demand for process cheese,made primarily from barrel cheese.

Cash butter saw a fourth consecutiveweek of gain, closing Friday at $1.85per pound, up two cents, but 22.5 centsbelow a year ago when the spot blasted16.5 cents higher, to $2.0750 per

pound. Only three cars traded handsthis week at the Chicago MercantileExchange. NDPSR butter averaged$1.7577 per pound, up 2.3 cents.

Some Central butter manufacturersare trying to increase inventory butcannot with current demand, accordingto Dairy Market News. The increase inpricing at the CME has some producersin flux. Butter production remainssteady with some increased competi-tion for cream from ice cream manufac-turers.

Butter manufacturing is a mixed pic-ture in the West. Some plants are onlymanufacturing prints for orders inhand and selling extra cream. Otherplants are moving cream from otherstates to support butter production lev-els. In plants churning print and bulkbutter, there is a shift toward a higherpercentage of production being bulk.Bulk butter from the West is movinginto the Central Region. Some concernsare voiced about meeting print demandduring Quarter Four.

Speaking of fat; consumers arereturning to the flavor of fat. It startedwith the premium, high-fat ice creams,then butter, and now fluid milk. TheApril 24 Dairy and Food Market Ana-lyst reports that “Consumers are drink-ing higher fat milk. Whole, regular fatmilk sales were up 3.7 percent versusreduced fat two-percent milk sales,

IIn 1994 the Iowa legislature designated Le Mars as the“Ice Cream Capital of the World.” The basis for that titleis that more ice cream (150 million gallons) is produced

by one company (Wells’ Dairy) in one place (Le Mars) thananywhere else in the world.

For ice cream lovers, the title may be attractive, but whatreally attracts is the Blue Bunny Ice Cream Parlor in down-town Le Mars. It is easily spotted by the huge ice cream sun-dae sculpture in front of the parlor and the neon “BlueBunny Ice Cream” sign projecting from the corner of thebuilding. The inte-rior of the historicstructure wasrebuilt to tell thestory of the Wellscompany.

The main floor icecream parlorincludes a marbleice cream bar,plenty of other seat-ing, and a glass-fronted counterthat will challengea person’s ability tochoose among mul-tiple flavors. Onecorner of the firstfloor is set apart asa gift shop.

A grand staircase leads to the second floor, a mezzaninestyle area which has additional seating and a museum,including a video history of the company. There is also a pri-vate meeting room for conferences and parties.

In 2013 Wells’ Dairy celebrated its 100th anniversary bypartnering with Make-a-Wish Foundation to grant 100wishes. Naturally, every wish granted came with ice cream.According to Lesley Bartholomew, corporate communicationsmanager for Wells’ Dairy, the venture was so satisfying thatthe company has continued the partnership, granting 20wishes a year.

It is evident as soon as you drive into town that Le Marsand ice cream are linked, as you begin to spot decorated icecream cone sculptures dotting the landscape. The connectionis even more obvious if you happen to be there during “IceCream Days,” their community celebration in June, whenplenty of ice cream is served. But any time of year you canstop at the Blue Bunny Ice Cream Parlor and taste it foryourself.

Meet the 2015 “Fromthe Fields” farmers

The Haarstads — Rothsay, Minn. John Haarstad jokingly describes

himself as a “lazy farmer,” growing cornand soybeans on a farm six milessoutheast of Rothsay, Minn.

While growing “just” corn and beansprobably doesn’t qualify a producer as“lazy,” livestock was once an integral partof his family farm.

“Grandpa quit cows in the early ’50s,” he said.From then on the farm was strictly a cash cropoperation. Growing up on the farm Haarstad said hewas pretty sure he wanted to farm. In high school healready had a few of his own acres.

After high school, Haarstad got the opportunity togo to Australia for nine weeks and take part infarming “Down Under.” After that there was noturning back

“I’ve been farming since ’94,” he said. Haarstad and his father, Michael, are in their

fourth year of farming together. His brother, Paul,works off the farm but is becoming a larger part ofthe operation. The brothers do the planting eachspring.

Haarstad and his wife, Angela, have two sons,Kaden and Isaac, and a daughter, Hailey.

Kaden is 10 and “really interested” in farming,said Haarstad. Unfortunately in this age ofbig, expensive machinery, he said there’s“no small jobs that I would trust a 10-year-old with.” Still, Kaden helps outwhen he can.

Already in the field as of April 13,Haarstad is choosing to be optimisticabout this growing season. “It’s a new year

and you never know what can happen,” he said.Unfortunately with this new year comes the fact

that soil moisture is very low, partly due to a lack ofsnow this past winter.

“We are really dry here,” he said. “I don’t know ifwe had six inches of snow this year.”

Haarstad is holding off planting until the windsettles some, as he doesn’t want to lose precioustopsoil. Once conditions are right, he’ll be plantingwith a 60-foot planter this year, with the goal to haveall the corn planted in five or six days.

While wind, rain, or the lack thereof, can all because for a chaotic spring, Haarstad said, “I enjoythe stress of spring work.”

Nothing beats the smell of freshly turned dirt, hesaid.

Simple things for a not-so-lazy farmer.

The Froemmings — Garfield, Minn. Even though Rodney Froemming grew

up on a farm, that didn’t mean farmingwas going to be his only occupation.

“I tried a bunch of other things too,” hesaid.

From working as a mortician for 10years to a John Deere mechanic for 19,Froemming has enjoyed working both onand off the farm.

He has now been farming five miles north ofGarfield, Minn., since 1975, growing corn,soybeans, wheat, alfalfa and rye.

Froemming and wife, Mary, have two children —Patty, who lives in Sioux Falls, S.D., and Janelle,who lives in Alexandria, Minn.

Besides farming his own land, he also does “a fairamount of custom work.” That includes custom

combining and haying.This spring has been a dry one on the

Froemming farm. As of mid-April, “Wehaven’t had any rain this spring,” he said.

The lack of rain allowed Froemming tofinish planting corn on April 17; he alsohad all his wheat planted by April 10. Hewas hoping to plant less corn this spring,but instead he “had to go with more corn

this year to keep our rotation up.” He will wait until ground temperatures warm up to

plant soybeans. So far, compared to last year, he’sahead of schedule.

Froemming said he looks “forward to spring;always optimistic.” He’ll need that optimism, as themoisture situation has become critical.

Rain or no rain, he said, “Field conditions arepretty good, and work conditions are excellent.”

The Pulks — Wannaska, Minn. A southern Minnesota guy and his family

take a chance and move to far northernMinnesota to live his dream of farming.Doesn’t sound like the typical Minnesota farmproducer story but it is Andy Pulk’s story.

Raised in New Prague, Pulk was alwayshelping his grandfather on his farm. It wasn’t until after collegethat he started doing Conservation Reserve Program managementthat led to custom farming in the New Prague area.

An opportunity to farm near Wannaska, Minn., arose, so Pulk,his wife Heidi and young family headed north.

Getting used to a new area, different ground, even differentcrops was all part of the learning experience for him. With fiveyears of farming in northern Minnesota under his belt, he’s readyto take spring planting head on.

Pulk grows corn, soybeans, spring wheat with grass seed underseeded and sunflowers.

“Last year was my first year of grass seeding,” he said. He has found that “grass seeds are proving very good for us up

here.” Currently the grass seed is dormant in the ground, Pulk saidhe is hoping for “for no winter kill on the seed.” Only time will tell.

The couple has five little future farmers: Sarah, 6; Madi, 3;Emily, 2; and twin boys Henry and John who will turn 1 in July.While the kids may not be able to help farm yet, Pulk’s brother-in-law comes from the Twin Cities every spring to help with planting,as well as two high school kids and one full-time employee.

Pulk has found that the temperature in Wannaska is usually 10degrees cooler than his old stomping grounds down south. Evenwith cooler temperatures Wannaska is now home.

“The community up here is similar to New Prague when I grewup,” he said. “There’s lots of young families here.”

Pulk is involved in the local community and served on theNorthwest Grain board of directors for the last two years, which hasbeen a learning experience.

“I’m one of the younger board members. We have a nice mix ofages on our boards,” he said.

On April 13, Pulk said he was still two weeks out from “reallygetting rolling” in the field. Until then, he said he will be feeling“the anxiety of scheduling and planning.”

Pulk knows that there’s just nothing better than “when the seedsare popping out of the ground.”

The Lees — McIntosh, Minn. Last September ushered in change on the Lee

farm in rural McIntosh, Minn. Joan Lee and herhusband, Mark, sold their organic dairyoperation. Their youngest child, Samantha,graduated from high school in 2012 and afterthat it was hard to find help — plus Lee saidthere are “other things we want to do.”

The Lees wanted to keep the herd together and remain organic. Shehad a friend who knew someone who wanted an organic herd. All ofthe buyer’s guidelines fit Lee’s and it ended up being the perfect fitfor all involved.

She isn’t sitting on a porch swing taking in the scenery all day.Besides being a Polk County Commissioner, Lee grows organic hay,corn, oats and possibly soybeans this year, as well as conventionalwheat and beans.

Lee was born and raised on a dairy farm near Princeton, Minn. Itwas through an agricultural magazine that Lee met Mark, even though“I was one of those that said I was never going to marry a farmer.”

The publication put out a farm dating book and some of Lee’s co-workers encouraged her to put her information in the book.

“I started receiving letters from different guys. Mark wrote in

September 1985 and I wrote back,” she said. Mark proposed the following April and they got married in October

1986. They live on Mark’s parents’ farm.Lee and Mark have three children: Rebecca, who works in

Minneapolis at Gander Mountain corporate office; Joseph, who worksat Polaris in Wyoming, Minn.; and Samantha, a junior at the Universityof Minnesota.

Spring work was in full swing on the Lee farm as of April 14. “Mark has been working up some land,” Lee said. They are getting

fertilizer from one of their neighbors who has pigs. Mark is alsoplowing up some hay ground.

As planting is about to begin, “Moisture is definitely going to be aconcern,” she said.

Though this spring may not be so hectic with the absence of thedairy herd, Lee is hoping she will not feel like she is being pulled in somany directions. She and Mark “still haven’t figured our new normalyet.”

Lee relishes spring on the farm. “I love that smell when the dirt first gets turned over,” she said. If the weather cooperates it shouldn’t be long until that fragrant

smell will be in the air. Lee knows, though, that planting is “definitelyat the mercy of Mother Nature.”

The Filzens — Renville, Minn. Dale Filzen has been farming on his own

since 1991, six miles south of Renville, Minn.He grew up on a farm just two miles down theroad. He knew that farming was in his future.

“None of the older brothers did it, so Ithought I better,” he said.

Filzen’s farming operation consists of corn, soybeans, sugar beetsand navy beans. He’s been growing those same crops for at least 10years.

Besides farming his own ground, Filzen also does customplanting and harvesting.

“I’ve done some custom work for 10 years,” he said. Filzen isalso a Mycogen Seed dealer, something he’s been doing for 18years.

Despite the consistency of his operation, each year is a littledifferent on the farm, and this spring is no exception.

As of April 14, Filzen reported “There’s a fair amount of sugarbeets and corn going in.”

Conditions have been favorable for planting. “It’s probably theearliest I’ve started,” he said. He likes to get corn planted by April20.

A seasoned producer like Filzen knows that “We could see quitea bit of snow yet.” So for now, he said he has put a couple fields inand will see how that goes.

His forecast for this year’s growing season? “I would have to saytoday there’s potential for a good crop.”

Filzen expects to get the crops planted within a two-week span.During that time he will be taking in the wonderment that is springplanting.

“I like getting out there and smelling the freshly worked dirt,” hesaid.

Filzen and wife, Tina, have three daughters — Emily, Katie andMelody.

The PagelsWinthrop, Minn.

The life of a farmer was all Delayne Pagelever knew. His father and grandfather werefarmers, and he grew up wanting to continuethat legacy. He has done that very thing since1983. Pagel and wife, Kay, raised their threechildren, David, Karl and Trevor, on their farm two and a quartermiles north of Winthrop.

While Pagel farms alone, he has some part-time hired help andsaid he “swaps equipment and labor” with a neighbor, somethinghe’s been doing for the past seven years.

Pagel grows corn, soybeans, wheat and kidney beans.This spring has been dry for much of the region, and the

Winthrop area is no exception. “It’s the first year that tile linesaren’t running yet,” he said.

Dry conditions allowed Pagel to get in the field early, starting toplant wheat on March 10. After dealing with some mechanicalbreakdowns, he was hoping to start on corn by April 15 — a typical

planting date for him. While pleased that the weather has cooperated to get the crop in,

Pagel expressed concerned that he’s “losing a bit of dirt from winderosion.”

He’s hoping to avoid last year’s disaster. In June of 2014, Pagelexperienced a seven-inch rainfall overnight, and “It just kind offlooded everything out,” he said. That resulted in a loss of a quarterof his corn to drown out.

This year with the lack of moisture he’s hopeful that prices mightbegin to rise due to the drought in some areas. Only time will tell.

With planting off and running on the farm, Pagel is busy. “It’sjust a rat race,” he said. “Kind of run around like your head’s cutoff.”

Once the crop is in the ground things will slow a little bit, andthen it will be time for Pagel to add a new title to his name:Grandpa. His first grandchild is expected in July.

New life in the plants sprouting from the ground, and a newgrandchild on the way. Lots to look forward to on the Pagel farm.

The ThorpesCanby, Minn.

Nathan Thorpe has been farming for 22years, and it’s been in his blood from day one.Even through the high school years when “itwasn’t the popular thing to do,” he said, heknew it was what he wanted to do.

“(In) 1994 I purchased my first piece of ground and I was in,”he said.

Thorpe grows corn and soybeans with his brother, Brian, sevenmiles northwest of Canby, Minn. He and his wife, Lisa, have threechildren — Andrew, 13; Levi, 11; and Leah, 4 — and he canalready see the love of farming taking root with Andrew.

“Last fall he started chisel plowing,” he said. Thorpe said that he believes that Andrew’s helping around the

farm is a “great confidence builder for him.”On April 10, Thorpe was hoping to tackle the field work “pretty

hard this week,” figuring he’d start planting by April 13. When planting is done, of course, depends on rain. “If we don’t have moisture,” he sad, “I think we’ll have our crops

in, in a couple weeks.” Even with the lack of winter snow, Thorpe said there should be

enough moisture to get the crop going. As far as predicting how the crop year will go, he said “I don’t

think it’s going to be a highly profitable year,” before quicklyadding, “There’ll be better years.”

For Thorpe, getting out in the planter and putting that seed inthe ground is as gratifying as watching the crops come off in thefall.

“Both are very rewarding,” he said.

The MarblesMapleton, Minn.

Harlan Marble of Mapleton, Minn. hasfigured out the key to longevity in farming.Leave town and head to Arizona from Nov. 1to April 1.

He’s farmed since 1964 so he figures abreak during the harsh Minnesota winter months to give hisarthritis a little dry heat treatment is much deserved.

Marble said he “never left the farm.” This fifth generationfarmer grows corn and soybeans, and finishes 15,000 hogs a yearfor Hormel. Son Allen farms alongside his dad. Raising hogs is inMarble’s DNA.

“When my forefathers came to Minnesota when the territory wassettled, they brought hogs with them,” he said, so his familyknows a thing or two.

Besides working with hogs, Marble also milked cows for 10years when he started farming. “I don’t miss the cows at all,” hesaid, noting that he didn’t have a modern facility so it wasextremely labor intensive.

Marble and wife, Elaine, have enjoyed 53 years of weddedbliss. They first met at the Minnesota State Fair when he was 15and she was 13. It was love at first sight, but she being a St.Paul girl and Marble a rural boy, they had to have a long distance,letter-only relationship for a while.

They married six years later and Elaine fit right in, out in thecountry.

“She couldn’t wait to get down to the farm,” he said. The couple has two daughters, Emily and Pamela, and two

sons, Allen and James.As of April 23, spring had been going well at the Marble place. “We’re half done with the corn,” he said. He predicted they would be done planting corn by April 24

and, if conditions were right, would be planting beans in anotherweek.

“Depends on what Mother Nature gives,” he noted.If you farm for 51 years, you must really like what you’re doing,

and that’s exactly the case for Marble. “I’ve never hated Mondayor looked forward to Friday,” he said.

What does he enjoy the most about farming? “Everything,” he replied.

...and the “Southern Five” The KempsSibley, Iowa

While Brian Kemp didn’t grow up on afarm, his father ran the horticulture researchstation for Iowa State University.

“I’ve been around agriculture in some formall my life,” he said. “The first 15 years ofmy career I was a county Extension agent.”

During that time Kemp helped his father-in-law farm on theweekends and holidays. Eventually he took over the farmingoperation three miles southeast of Sibley, Iowa.

“My wife and I operate the farm with seasonal help,” he said.Kemp and his wife, Cindy, have two children: Courtney, who livesin Burbank, Calif.; and Andrea, who lives at home.

Kemp grows soybeans and corn; he started planting his corn onApril 17, nearly a week ahead of most of his neighbors. “It’s beengoing well,” he said.

Planting this year has been “pretty typical,” said Kemp,although “maybe a tad bit later than I want to start.”

After he wraps up the corn he’s hopeful he can move right intobeans. Kemp said he is concerned that with so little snowfall thispast winter, the need for moisture is becoming great.

“Subsoil moisture is short,” he said. That said, he still has a positive outlook for 2015.“You’ve got to be an optimist,” said Kemp. “Even though it’s

dry, it’s better planting conditions than if there’s too muchmoisture.”

Precipitation this growing season will be critical. “We are going to have to have timely rains to produce a crop

this year,” he said.

The HeusinkveldsWykoff, Minn.

On the Heusinkveld farm seven miles southof Wykoff, Minn., cows reign supreme. NateHeusinkveld has a 350-cow dairy and alsogrows corn and alfalfa. The operationincludes his father, Jeff, who has beenfarming since 1973.

“I always liked farming,” said Heusinkveld, who followed in hisfather’s footsteps in 1996. “I knew the opportunity was therewhen I came home.”

Home now includes his wife, Misty, and children Lucas, 12,and Kensie, 9.

“It’s a normal spring for once,” he said. Barley and peas were planted on April 13, which Heusinkveld

said is a little earlier than usual. The four inches of rain that fellthe week before made sure the soil moisture was good, he said.

This fall Heusinkveld will be planting winter rye again. He hadbeen planting winter rye for five or six years but couldn’t last yeardue to late spring planting — which translated into late harvestingin 2014.

On the dairy side, he reported that prices had been down, butdrought in California had begun to move dairy prices up. Howhigh remains to be seen.

With good soil moisture, planters going, and weathercooperating, Heusinkveld is pleased with planting so far.

“I enjoy spring as long as it’s spaced out a bit,” he said.

Ideal conditions prevailed across Minnesota,allowing rapid planting progress during the 6.1days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending May3. This was the most days suitable for fieldwork thisseason. Minnesota’s corn planting jumped to 83 per-

cent complete, the second-highest amount plantedby this date in 30 years. Field activities for the weekincluded planting, applying fertilizer, and tilling.

Over one half of Iowa’s corn acreage was plantedlast week, the largest percentage planted during thisweek in over 20 years. Sixty-eight percent of the corncrop has been planted, eight days ahead of last yearand the five-year average. Statewide there were 5.6

days suitable for fieldwork. Although the primaryactivity during the week was planting, other activi-ties included fertilizer and herbicide application, aswell as seedbed preparation.

The kids were unbelievably disap-pointed.

There isn’t much you could do,though, when a long-anticipated eventgets rained out. You can rant andshake your fist at the sky but you knowthat’s energy wasted.

The best you can do is rent a movie,re-schedule your event – and read“Rain: A Natural and Cultural History”by Cynthia Barnett.

Eons ago, just after earth becamemore than a bit of debris flung off inthe birth of the sun, water vapor gottrapped in our planet’s atmosphere.Eventually, earth’s surface cooledenough that moisture poured down andit rained for years. That’s a good thing:without it, there would be no life here.

Early civilizations came and wentwith the rains. Humans moved fromforest to savannah and picked up hoes,tamed livestock, and built boats. Theycreated gods to explain where raincomes from and who ruled lightning,and just about every culture passeddown a cataclysmic flood story.

Centuries ago, people learned to har-ness and save water, yet they could dolittle but dance or pray for rain to fallin times of drought.

In the early 1400s, King Sejong theGreat of Korea understood how to meas-ure what fell. In the late 1500s, witcheswere blamed for dry spells; barometerswere invented a hundred years later,and a fad for weather-watching capti-vated America and Europe.

By 1802, clouds were named by aman whose father thoughtweather prediction was folly;later that century, rainmakerswere paid fortunes to makeclouds form over dry fields.

Today, even though we havemodern methods of predictingrain and there are thousands oflocal precipitation reportersaround the world, meteorologistssometimes still miss storms andshowers.

Even if we could tell where itwas going to come down (or not),there are things about rain we tendto overlook.

Doodlers get raindrop shapes allwrong, for instance. We ignore thatrain has changed elections, soci-eties, and wars.

We mightn’t understand thatpruny-wet fingers could be anancient rain adaptation, or that“raining cats and dogs” isn’t what

BOOKWORM, from pg. 5Bother cultures say. And we may not knowthat the rain falling on our faces todaymay have wet the faces of our mostancient ancestors.

Maybe because it’s as refreshing as itstitle, or maybe because it reminded me ofspring, but “Rain: A Natural and CulturalHistory” made me very happy..

That stuff that falls from the sky isn’tstrictly what this book is all about, though. AuthorCynthia Barnett also touches upon history, biology,earth science, global warming and all kinds of tinyfacets of culture.

We’re sprinkled with delightful surprises, as wellas terrifying tales of droughts and floods, then intro-duced to majesty on one page and destruction two

pages later.That, for sure, is not all wet.This book practically screams for weather fans to

own it. It’s filled with fascinating knowledge, no mat-ter where you live. Whether your pray for precipita-tion or curse it, “Rain: A Natural and Cultural His-tory” is awash with goodness.

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

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

You see them out andabout now and then, andwhen you do, you know it’strue that doctors still domake house calls. Or in thiscase, barn calls.

In farm country, the localveterinarian is well known.His truck is always recog-nizable — the truck bedlined with countless com-partments, filled with all ofthe things an animal doctorneeds to have as he goesabout his work. And there are timeswhen the farmer is relieved to see thedust flying from that truck comingdown his road.

He sees his share of mud and manureduring muddy calving seasons. He vac-cinates, performs all kinds of proce-dures on the farm, and he has to knowwhen to just get out of the way in thename of livestock safety. And no matterwhat specie of farm animal he’s tend-ing to, I’m certain there are times whenhe wishes the farmer would have calledsooner.

Now and then he’ll be almost up tohis shoulder in the back end of a cow,trying to see with his hand what’sgoing on in there. He’ll deliver goodand bad news about diseases, advisefarmers, vaccinate, examine dead ani-mals to get the final analysis, and willput a million country miles on histruck. And just like the farmer forwhom he works — and for his own fam-

ily — there are days whenthere isn’t enough of him togo around.

There are things that aveterinarian and his familymust simply grin and bearin the name of his vocation.A veterinarian we know saidthat, especially during calv-ing season, he never tries togo to bed before 10:30 p.m.,because he knows farmersare out checking their cows,and knows someone might

have a calving emergency that willrequire either his advice or his help.The SOS calls often do come.

The veterinarian’s family knows thathe is not always theirs if someoneneeds his help. They must get by athome without him from time to time sohe can help someone else in their timeof need. He, too, misses his children’sconcerts and games now and thenbecause he’s working on a sick animal.It’s an ethical issue for the vet, and acash-flow issue for the farmer. Theyboth have a stake in what’s going on.

He’s one who has assisted in the mir-acle of life so many times that itbecomes second nature. A veterinarianwe know once invited one of our sons toaccompany him on a cesarean sectioncall. When they were finishing up thejob and the veterinarian was skillfullysewing the cow’s innards back togetherlayer by layer, he asked our son whichof the layers was the most important to

get sewed up correctly.“Probably the muscle layer,” our son

answered.“Nope — the hide. It’s the only layer

the people can see,” the veterinarianjoked.

You gotta love one with a sense ofhumor. And the experience he offeredour son was one that he — a beginningcattleman himself — will alwaysremember.

And yet, the veterinarian can’talways solve the problems.

One vet we know told us he recentlyhad to put his own dog down, saying itwas the second hardest thing he’s everhad to do.

“The first hardest thing was to putthe dog down that I grew up with,” hesaid as he looked away to hide thetears welling in his eyes. It’s still hard,even after all these years. Veterinari-

ans do understand what the farmergoes through with all animals on hisfarm that don’t make it, after valiantefforts to save them.

We took our own dog to the vet onceto have her put down because it wasgoing to be the most humane for her.The veterinarian was right there afterthe farewells and in the midst of allthose tears, helping the farmer toteach his growing children that some-times there is no more than can bedone, and that love takes a on differ-ent form at that point in the life of asuffering animal. And so the call goespainfully out to the veterinarian.

At that point, the veterinarian tendsto the farmer and his family as muchas he does to the animal. It’s a per-sonal trust that can’t be explained, oreven replaced.

Veterinarians have a special kind ofcompassion. Some scenarios have ahappy ending, and some don’t. But it’sin some of those worst-case scenariosthat the strongest bonds of trust aremade between a farmer and his col-league in agriculture, the country vet-erinarian.
