REPORTS ONPAGE 13

On Aug. 31 my husband Seth and I celebrated 12 years of wedded bliss.

OK, who am I kidding. After 12 yearsand four kids, sure there is indeed somewedded bliss — but right along with itcomes some sad times, some chaotictimes, some hilarious times, and justabout everything and anything inbetween. Through it all, though, he’s mypartner and I wouldn’t have it any otherway.

Seth is my country guy (raised in ruralGary, Minn.) and I’ll always be his citygirl (raised in Apple Valley, Minn.). Butthis city girl has learned a lot aboutwhat happens out on the farm, awayfrom the big city lights. Here’s a lookat some of what I’ve learned aboutfarming over the last 12-plus years:

• Kristin’s farming myth No. 1:That dairy cows get milked untilthey retire to a beautiful pasture tospend the rest of their lives chowingdown with good friends, kickingback and relaxing.

I thought that if dairy cows weremilked for so long, their reward wasto live a long life after milking dayswere over. They were the winnerscompared to their beef counterparts.

I know now that they end up ondinner plates just like beef cows do;they just get to spend more timewith their gal pals, hanging out inthe milking parlor before their timeis up.

• Kristin’s farming myth No. 2: I alwaysbelieved that if a horse was lying down, it meant itwas dead or dying. One of the first times I went tomy in-laws’ farm I saw one of their horses, Stormy,lying down — the horror! I thought my father-in-lawwould have to put this horse out of its misery “OldYeller” style. I reluctantly told Seth that I had foundStormy lying down. I was practically in tears as Itold him this terrible news.

He looked at me, waiting for the sad part of thestory. He just shook his head and laughed at hisnaïve wife and explained that horses, just like peo-ple, need to rest. Thank goodness! Stormy was fineand lived to see another day (actually another 11more years, in fact).

• Kristin’s farming myth No. 3: Thismyth was dispelled in my early days ofcollege at North Dakota State University. Iwas in a sorority and my date for a termdance had grown up on a farm in north-eastern North Dakota. At dinner I askedhim what they grew on his farm. Heanswered “wheat, soybeans and sugarbeets.” I had heard of the first two cropsbut never the last one. What the heck wasa sugar beet?

So I asked him what sugar beets wereused for. I think if he could have gotten up

from the table and just escaped hewould have done just that. But he was a

polite farm boy and explained thatsugar beets make the sugar we eatevery day. Being the city girl, I said“Isn’t all sugar made from sugarcane? I’ve seen those commercialsthat show that sugar comes fromHawaii.”

That sealed the deal; we neverwent on another date again. I apolo-gize belatedly to him and all thesugar beet farmers out there for my(former) complete and utter lack ofunderstanding of the differencebetween sugar cane and sugarbeets.

• Kristin’s farming myth No. 4:That when it comes to being ahoarder, farm cats don’t count. Igrew up having one dog, named

Teddy Bear Woody Larson. He was aninside dog who would follow any com-

mand you said as long you started it off by saying“Bread, Ted.” He was spoiled, fat and not really thatloyal, but my family loved him anyway.

Seth on the other hand grew up with farm dogsand barn cats. Farm dogs were loyal, fierce (whenneeded to be) and did not live in the house. The barncats were deemed necessary at the Kveno farm tokeep the mice at bay. That said, I’m not sure catsreally feel the need to do much at the farm as theyare now given warm milk in the winter, leftovers, cattreats and as much love as they could possibly want.

These cats have it so good that they have begunsending the message out that this is the farm to beat. My mother-in-law has a soft spot for cats and

ST. PAUL — Jeni Haler, a 19-year-old college stu-dent from Norwood Young America, Minn., repre-senting Carver County, was crowned the 61stPrincess Kay of the Milky Way in an evening cere-mony at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds, Aug. 20.

Haler will serve as the official goodwill ambassa-dor for more than 3,600 Minnesota dairy farm fam-ilies. Jeni is the daughter of Rick Haler and ConnieHelget Haasken, and attends the University of Min-nesota-Twin Cities, where she double majors in ani-mal science and Spanish/Portuguese studies.

Twelve county dairy princesses from throughoutMinnesota competed for the Princess Kay of theMilky Way title. Audrey Lane of Prior Lake, repre-senting Scott County, and Sabrina Ley of Belgrade,representing Stearns County, were selected as run-ners-up. Gabriella Sorg of Hastings, representingDakota County, was named Miss Congeniality. Schol-arships were awarded to Annie Culbertson of PineIsland, representing Olmsted County; Sarah Post ofChandler, representing Murray County; and Lane.

Haler’s first official duty as Princess Kay will beto sit in a rotating cooler in the Dairy Building fornearly six hours to have her likeness sculpted in a90-pound block of butter on the opening day of theMinnesota State Fair. Each finalist will also haveher likeness carved in butter during the fair. Thisyear marks butter sculptor Linda Christensen’s

43rd year carving the Princess Kay of the Milky Waywinner and finalists at the Minnesota State Fair.

Throughout her year-long reign as Princess Kay ofthe Milky Way, Haler will make public appearancesto help connect consumers to Minnesota’s dairy farmfamilies. She will also promote the Fuel Up to Play60 program, through which she encourages studentsto get 60 minutes of exercise each day and eat ahealthy diet that includes three servings of dairy.

Princess Kay candidates are judged on their gen-eral knowledge of the dairy industry, communicationskills and enthusiasm for dairy. The Midwest DairyAssociation sponsors the Princess Kay program,

which is funded by the dairy checkoff.Midwest Dairy Association is a non-profit organi-

zation funded by dairy farmers to build demand fordairy products through integrated marketing, nutri-tion education and research. Midwest Dairy isfunded by checkoff dollars from dairy farmers in a10-state region, including Minnesota, North Dakota,South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri,Kansas, Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma.

Farmers and ranchershave a well-deserved repu-tation for straight talk. Say-ing what you mean andmeaning what you say, afterall, were essential elementsin the handshake deals thatwere the hallmark of ruralbusiness for generations.

They still are.Now, however, some folks

outside the nation’s fieldsand fences are workingovertime to wash — and,in many instances, white-wash — the work-a-dayfarm and ranch vocabulary of its mean-ing and culture.

For example, two ag publications Ireceive, one from Canada and the otherfrom the United States, recently car-ried stories about cattle slaughter. Nei-ther, however, used the word “slaugh-ter.”

Instead, both stories substituted thecompletely bloodless, completely inac-curate “harvest” — as in “Cargill closesMilwaukee harvest facility” and “Dis-secting the makeup of the U.S. fed cat-tle harvest” — for the more descriptive,completely accurate “slaughter” in eachheadline and throughout each story.

We don’t kill cattle inNorth America anymore; we“harvest” them now?

Not according to the U.S.Department of Agriculture’sNational Agricultural Sta-tistics Services that, depend-ing on species, continues tocount the weekly, monthlyand yearly “slaughter” ofcattle, goats, hogs, lamb,bison, chickens, ducks,turkeys and other poultry.

The reason USDA doesnot use the word “harvest”

for “slaughter” is simple: thetwo words are not substitutes; eachcarries a unique meaning.

In fact, according to the Oxford Uni-versal English Dictionary, slaughter(“Middle English, slahter, 1. The killingof cattle, sheep, or other animals for food…”) and harvest (“Old English, haerfest,1. The third season of the year, autumn2. The season for reaping and gatheringin the ripened grain 3. The reaping andgathering in of ripened grain …”) are asdifferent as salt and pepper. Each maybe a seasoning but salt is not pepperand pepper is not salt.

Other examples of either lazy usageor intentional misuse of words in agri-

culture abound. For centuries “cropprotection” meant fences to keep live-stock out of grain fields. Today “cropprotection” really means chemistry —herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides— without hoping to sound like itmeans chemistry.

Today we often say “barn,” as in live-stock barn, when we really mean shed,as in machinery shed; often hear equip-ment dealers talk about “farm power”instead of “tractors;” and watch as vet-erinarians use “animal health prod-ucts” to treat (even pre-treat) ailinglivestock, not “drugs.”

And “wastes” long ago replaced“manure” for, well, you know what.

Indeed, we’ve taken our gift for wordconfusion to almost laugh-out-loud lev-els. For example, a generation ago, withnew technology and no hesitation, weturned the simple hay “bale” into theoxymoronic “round bale” and, simulta-neously, into the wonderfully redun-dant “square bale.”

Most times, however, these shiny newwords and not-at-all-accurate phrasesaren’t new cats that just show up onthe farm and ranch. They are born,poll-tested and dropped off in ruralAmerica by ag hired hands — sorry,

“team members” — who are paid tosanitize the sometimes muddy, some-times bloody realities of today’s farmsand ranches for an increasingly misin-formed, hopefully naïve consumingpublic.

In the cleansing process, however,we trade accuracy for vagueness, hon-esty for deceit, and truth for decep-tion.

Truth be told, the vast majority ofAmerican — North American — farm-ing and ranching is about herbicides,slaughter and manure and hidingthese processes and practices behindsunny, inaccurate or misleading wordsonly creates more costly mistrust that,sooner or later, will have to be cleanedup by farmers and ranchers, not therebranding spinmeisters.

“Harvest” cattle? What, PETA willbecome more farmer-friendly if we justsay “harvest” instead of “slaughter”?

That’s as absurd as calling cowboyschickens.

LAND MINDS, from pg. 2takes them in (to the barn, that is) andputs another dish of warm milk out. Theproblem has become that skunks aroundthe area must have heard about the fab-ulous accommodations as well, and havebeen known to run up during feedingtime and join the cats at the food dishes.

My mother-in-law loves animals butdoes put her foot down when it comesto skunks — her “no-skunks” policy isstrictly enforced at the farm and willremain that way, thank you very much.

• Kristin’s farming myth No. 5: Youdon’t have to actually be a farmer to walkthe walk or even talk the talk. Seth hastaught my side of the family so muchabout agriculture. No question was toosilly or stupid; he answered them all.

He taught my brother how much funit was to get away from the hustle andbustle of the Twin Cities and head tothe quiet of the farm woods for sometarget practice. My brother loved it, andSeth enjoyed showing the city kid thatfun could be had not just in downtownSt. Paul, but also out in the boonies.

Seth has done such a good job explain-ing the ag industry to my family that one

night my Dad had a dream that Seth hadhim help put in a corn test plot.

In the dream, my Dad went out in thefield and put in the test plot. Pleasedwith himself, he invited Seth to gocheck out his work the next day. To myDad’s horror, he then realized he hadput the test plot not only in the wrongfield, but the field he put it in was nowbeing dug for a swimming pool. Sethwas mightily impressed with thedetails of how my Dad put in the imag-inary plot in his wacky dream.

So even if you don’t have farming inyour blood, the farming dream may bealive and well in you regardless.

Marriage, like farming, teaches us alot about ourselves. It shows us ourstrengths, our weaknesses and, mostimportantly, in the end hopefully hap-piness. While Seth and I toast anotheryear together, I want to also toast allthe farmers out there as they prepareto climb into their combines.

May your thermoses be full of coffee,and your hearts full of optimism for a safeand successful harvest. Cheers to you all!

The Farm Rescue nonprofit in theUpper Midwest is approachinganother milestone — it will help its300th farm family in the region by theend of the year.

The volunteer-based organizationheadquartered in North Dakotahelped its 100th farm family in 2009and its 200th in 2012.

“Three hundred families in the UpperMidwest are able to continue support-ing their communities and feedingAmerica,” Bill Gross said. “These fami-lies are friends, neighbors and cus-tomers. They’re the rural community.”

Farm Rescue plants and harvestscrops for farmers in the Dakotas, Min-nesota, Iowa and eastern Montanawho have experienced an illness,injury or natural disaster. It’s beenoperating since 2006, supported bydonations, business sponsors andabout 1,000 volunteers.

“I appreciate the work they did forme; it helped quite a bit,” said DanDotzenrod, who became the 200thfarmer to get help after he broke hisneck in a fall on his southeasternNorth Dakota farm. “I’m mostlyrecovered — 90 to 95 percent. Stillfarming.”

Gross said Farm Rescue, which oper-ates on an annual cash budget of about$450,000, will help about 50 farmersannually for another year or two.

“We need to build more support forthe organization financially to expandbeyond that level,” he said. “We aremoving in that direction. Then, if weexpand geographically in a few years,that number might grow.”

Farm Rescue has gotten a big boostin recent years from The Leona M.and Harry B. Helmsley CharitableTrust, which has contributed nearly$1 million since 2008. Fargo-basedRDO Equipment Co., which owns andoperates more than 60 dealerships innine states, has supplied criticalequipment, according to Gross.

Keith Kreps, an RDO executive vicepresident, estimated the company hasinvested more than $1 million in thepartnership.

“Bill approached us with a way togive to the large community that wedo business in, and directly affect thefarmers and the industry that wemake our living in,” Kreps said. “Wejust thought it was the perfect fit.” ❖

Know your tractor: Always look at the operator’s man-ual before operating an unfamiliar machine. Know the loca-tion of each control.

Roll Over Protective Structures: Most tractor fatali-ties are the result of an overturn. The use of ROPS in con-junction with a seat belt saves lives.ROPS works by limiting the roll to 90degrees, and protecting the operator’s sta-tion from being crushed under the weightof the machine.

Drive safely: Avoid operating a tractornear ditches, holes, and embankments. Ifyou must do so, then allow a six-footclearance between the edge and themachine.

Never start a tractor inside aclosed structure: Always open the doorsbefore starting the tractor, or other inter-nal combustion engines. A closed spacecan quickly fill with deadly CarbonMonoxide.

Power Take Off shields: Your trac-tor’s PTO is a serious hazard. A PTO run-ning at 1000 rpm, will pull in clothing ata rate of 8 feet per second. If your PTOhas a damaged or missing shield, replace it before operatingthe tractor.

Hitches and drawbars: Always hitch towed loads to thedrawbar. This is the only safe place to attach a load. Hitch-ing to the seat bracket or the axle, or anything else higherthan the drawbar, can cause the tractor to back flip in lessthan a second.

Never leave a running tractor unattended: Alwaysshut down your equipment if you are going to leave thework area. The risks of fire or unauthorized or unintendedoperation far outweigh any possible benefit. If you havechildren on your farm, take the keys with you.

Fuel when cool: Never refuel a tractorwhen it is running, or when the engine ishot. This is of special importance on oldergasoline-powered equipment. Gasoline isnot only highly flammable, it can beexplosive in vapor form.

No riders: If your tractor is equippedwith a ROPS, it is not designed to protectanyone outside the operator’s station. Noone other than the operator has any busi-ness riding on a tractor, or worse yet, animplement being towed by a tractor. Don'tride on a tractor and don't allow others toride!

Speed and carelessness kill: Neverrush while operating a tractor. There isonly one acceptable speed for tractor oper-ation – “safe speed.” Allow plenty of timeto get to and from the work area. Anoverly fatigued operator is liable to make

mistakes, or become inattentive. Operating a tractor andimplement in the field is both mentally taxing and monoto-nous. Get off the machine and stretch every so often; itreally helps.

It’s always interesting to watch anantique tractor ride — not only for thetractors, but for the stories and memoriesthey evoke. And if you’re lucky enough towatch an antique tractor ride with some-one who farmed with those tractors, theevent seems to come to life.

Our local FFA chapter sponsors a rideevery year around the shores of WestLake Okoboji. It gives a glimpse of the“other side” to people who may havenever known how it feels to climb onto atractor and start it up, or smell the dirtthose tractors wake up each spring.

We watched the event this year with my father-in-law, who farmed with some of those older tractors.The tractors were as different as those who usedthem. As they went by, he watched in silent remem-brance, and other times, he would share a story.

As one tractor went by he said, “My back hurtsjust watching that guy ride on that seat.”

When he saw a Case-O-Matic in the line-up, hesaid he remembered calling that tractor a “Jerk-O-Matic,” since he thought it was hard to put into gearsmoothly and gently.

A tractor with an umbrella went by and heremembered a family friend who had upgraded to

getting an umbrella on his tractor. It wasa big deal back in the day.

“He said he had to put his over coat onbecause he got cold,” he remembered witha quiet laugh, as he took it all in.

My husband and his father tried toremember when and how the Massey-Harris and Ferguson companies cametogether as they watched those tractorsrumble past. We tried to discern whatkind of tractor went past us once, sincethere was far more rust on the entire unitthan there was paint. Finally, as thedriver went past, we saw a hint of the

word “Oliver” on the back of his tractor seat.Other tractors were shined up with chrome,

straight pipes and American flags, and otherwisehad their Sunday clothes on, and they ran rightalongside those whose tractors wore their workclothes for the day. Iowa Secretary of Agriculture BillNorthey participated and drove such a tractor in thisyear’s ride. It was cool to see.

I was also struck by the fact that, as we sat andwatched those tractors drive by, those driving themwere usually the first to wave. But then, that’s thefriendly way farmers are.

There were so many things to take in — the people

driving the tractors and taking us all down memory lane.Well, some were taken down memory lane, and someyoung farmers were proud to drive something theirgrandfather once used, and others watched and imaginedhow their grandfather may have used a tractor like that.

There was the sound of the tractors — some werereal putt-putts and others were smooth as butter. It’salways an exciting time as the ride begins, and thetractors all start up. It’s a sense of pride that I can’texplain, but it’s there, and it’s very real.

There are the families of the ride — farmers of everyage, wanna-be farmers, women, and young childrenwho were there grooming their love of the feel and thesound of an old tractor. For young children it’s greatfun; for their families, it’s the future of their farms.

When the ride was over, I was asking my husband’saunt if she had seen that old, rusty Oliver. Shelaughed and said it reminded her of a CherokeeCounty man who drove an old tractor like that inregional rides. She told me he put a sign on the tractorthat read, “She may not be pretty, but she puts out.”

You gotta love farmers and their sense of humor ...and the desire of a father and son to share the expe-rience of a simple tractor ride together.

TABLE TALK

By Karen Schwaller

Item: Aug. 20, 2014; The Min-nesota Department of NaturalResources has confirmed thatzebra mussels were found inChristmas Lake in Shorewood,just south of Lake Minnetonka.

Item: Aug. 4, 2014; New findsof aquatic invasive species havebeen reported in Green Lakenear Spicer and Games Lakenear Sundburg, both inKandiyohi County, accordingthe the Minnesota Departmentof Natural Resources.

The other day I was leaving German Lake in LeSueur County (Minn.) where an official sign at theaccess informed me the lake was designated asinfested waters after Eurasian watermilfoil was dis-covered growing there a couple of years ago.

After loading the boat onto the trailer, I pulledahead to a designated boat cleaning area and care-fully scrutinized the trailer, boat and boat motor forany bits of clinging vegetation. Having failed to bringanother container of water from home and eventhough my self-contained bait bucket still had onlythe water dumped in at the bait shop, as required, Ipoured out my remaining minnows and water in thedesignated area for bait disposal.

Had I been fishing on a high-risk lake equippedwith a boat decontamination facility — Mille Lacsfor example — my rig also might have undergone ahigh-pressure, hot water cleaning procedure to fur-ther clean it.

But my boat is a simple affair with no live well orbilge to empty so I only had to remove the plugbefore heading down the road, legal as can be.

Still, I wondered.So far, only Eurasian watermilfoil has been

detected in German Lake with no indication thatanother aquatic invasive species — zebra mussels —have established a toehold.

But who knows? Such discoveries typically occureither by accident or when they become numerousenough to finally be noticed.

When I backed my trailer into the water to launchand retrieve my boat, water seeped into all kinds ofnooks and crannies, some inaccessible to even highpressure washes.

A few drops of water from a zebra mussel-infectedlake that might have lingered within the frame ofmy trailer quite possibly could contain hundreds ofveliger — microscopic larvae of the pesky critter.

While the DNR recommends that boats and trail-ers be allowed to dry for at least five days after leav-ing infested waters before heading to another lake, itis not required.

On this trip, I was headed directly home where thetrailer eventually would dry, but had I instead trav-eled to another nearby lake, I could possibly havebeen an aquatic version of Typhoid Mary.

It all underscored the enormous challenge thatstopping the spread of aquatic invasive species rep-

resents as tens of thousands of boats travel fromlake to lake within Minnesota every summer.

It’s been two years since the Minnesota DNRannounced new regulations designed to halt thespread of AIS. At the same time, the EnforcementDivision also vowed to vigorously enforce them.

Yet, press releases like the ones found at the begin-ning of this column still come across the desk withdiscouraging regularity.

Recognizing the economic and recreational impor-tance of Minnesota’s lakes, the Legislature appropri-ated some $15 million through next year to combatAIS. At best, it’s a start.

The perfect solution to the AIS invasion probablywould be the discovery of some kind of magic bullet— biological or chemical — to stem the tide. Thesearch continues.

However, until that happens, the official view isthat personal responsibility and vigilance by boaterscan significantly slow, even halt, the AIS invasion ofstate waters.

Perhaps.But in 2000, the number of streams, rivers and

lakes infested with AIS could be listed on just apage-and-a-half of the Minnesota Fishing Regula-tions booklet.

In the 2012 version, it took 10 full pages to list allof the lakes infested with AIS.

In this year’s edition of the Minnesota Fishing Reg-ulations booklet, the list of infested lakes and riversfills 12 full pages. Certainly, there are AIS-infestedwaters yet to be discovered.

Obviously, getting the AIS genie back into the bot-tle won’t be easy or inexpensive.

Sad to say, but it may not even be possible.

It was supposed to beparadisiacal.

You’d planned it thatway, in fact: the two ofyou, retired, with timeaplenty to travel,explore, garden, enjoyyourselves. It was sup-posed to be good – untilone of you got sick andthe other’s now a care-giver, a journey younever wanted orexpected but… thereyou are. And in the newbook “No Saints Around Here” by Susan Allen Toth,you’ll see that you’re not alone.

There were 15 years between Susan Allen Tothand her husband, James.

That’s not a lot of difference in age, really. It’s cer-tainly not enough to make anyone fretabout a future full of healthissues, but that’s whatarrived: while in his mid-70s,James was diagnosed withParkinson’s disease.

“Parkie,” as they called itfaux-casually, was initiallymild; James was a littleclumsy and had slighttremors, and they dealt withit. But then, his symptomsworsened: loss of memory,slowness, dementia, and Tothbecame a spousal caregiver, amember of an “ever-expandingclub without borders. ”

In her quest for books on thesubject, Toth discovered thatfew authors write “from thefront lines.” Nothing, forinstance, indicated that she’dhave to floss James’s teeth.

She wasn’t prepared for“absurdities” of life with an illhusband or round-the-clockstrangers ministering care. Shewas surprised at friendships thatfell away, and how new “webs” knitthemselves in help.

She began journaling and, in her entries, the word“time” crops up repeatedly – mostly, because therewas never enough. Not enough time for herself(although, with paid help, she was sometimes ableto sneak away to their Wisconsin cabin), not enoughfor day-to-day chores and not enough time withJames.

“It is a terrible loss,” she said of no longer beingable to “slip into his bed.” She never expected tohave to know about incontinence care, “beige lies,” ornursing homes (she kept James at home until the

end). Snappiness wasn’t her normalmien, but it happened. There was a“last Christmas” and a pleasantsurprise that accompanied hospicecare. And, says Toth, through it all,“I did the best I could.”

Pick up “NoSaints AroundHere” and you’llnotice some-thing: holdingit in your hands is like graspinga half-pound of pure ache.

The truth, beautifully andbrutally in real-time, is whatauthor Susan Allen Toth offersher readers, with entries thatspan the 18-months beforeJames died. Toth writes abouthands-on caretaking, but shealso touches upon relief, guilt,self-care, anger and thewhole-life dwindling thatcomes with progressive ill-ness.

That bluntness and rawhonesty may shock somereaders and it may make yougasp at its audacity.

Then again, if you do,maybe this isn’t your book.Toth’s words will give com-fort to newly-minted care-

givers who aren’t sure what’s next, who aren’tsure what to do, who don’t know what “normal” isanymore.

This is a book for those men and women, spousesand children – and if that’s you, “No Saints AroundHere” may be heaven-sent.

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

By MARK STEILMinnesota Public Radio News

The boom in farmland prices of recent years couldbe cooling, setting up a potential economic blow toMinnesota farmers.

Minnesota’s farmland is worth about $100 billion,and given that land often accounts for 80 percent of afarm’s assets, that value has served as an economicengine. It provides farmers the collateral they needto buy equipment and grow crops.

But the most recent quarterly survey agriculturalbankers by the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis,which tracks the important asset, shows Minnesotafarmland prices have started to decline, said JoeMahon, a regional economist for the Fed. Prices peracre have fallen about 4 1/2 percent from what theywere a year ago. That would reflect a decline of about$4 billion in farm wealth across the state, reversing asteady upward trend for much of the last decade,when land prices more than doubled in value.

At the end of last year, farm land sold for an aver-age of about $4,800 an acre — and the best landmore than twice that. At $10,000 an acre, a hundredacres could cost $1 million or more.

Mahon said land prices began falling in the state latelast year after the selling price of corn — the state’smost valuable crop — tumbled to unprofitable levels.He said the prices of other commodities also fell.

“So we’re seeing this environment where the cropprices for corn, soybeans and wheat have all comedown over the last year or two,” Mahon said. “Andthat’s reflected in lower farm incomes.”

With incomes down, fewer farmers can afford land,and with a smaller number of farmers bidding for

the available acres, land prices are slipping. Grainprices are not expected to recover any time soon,given record supplies of corn and soybeans predictedfor the nation’s fall harvest.

“Farm incomes have come down,” Mahon said. “Andthey’re probably going to stay down for a littlewhile.”

But not everyone agrees the trend necessarilymeans land prices will take a big drop. Some farmanalysts believe farmland prices are stable.

Despite low crop prices, other factors are helping tokeep the land market steady, said Randy Dickhut,vice president of real estate operations for Omaha-based Farmers National Company, which sells farm-land across the Midwest.

Low-interest rates are available to finance dealsand many farmers still have plenty of cash on hand toinvest in land, Dickhut said, “profits that farmers andlandowners have realized over the last few years.”

Corn prices soared in the past five years to theirhighest level ever.

Much of the boom was driven by increasingdemand from the ethanol industry, which now usesmore than a third of the nation’s corn crop each yearto make fuel.

The high prices gave many crop farmers their mostprofitable years ever. In Minnesota an analysis ofprofits by some 1,300 crop farmers’ showed theymade an average profit in 2012 of about $250,000.

However, if the current high prices for farmlandamount to an economic bubble, much like the hous-ing market went through in the recent recession,that would bode poorly for the state’s economy. ❖

By KRISTIN KVENOThe ThronsonsGary, Minn.

A half an inch cango a long way when itcomes to much-needed rain.

When The Landspoke with JaredThronson on Aug. 21,he was hopeful thatthe forecast — “quite a bit of chances ofrain” — would come true. Earlier inthe week, his fields had received thathalf inch and he said it had helped alot.

The corn is “still looking prettygood,” he said, and that bit of raincame just in time for the beans. Theplants are “just about done flowering,”said Thronson, and “the lower pods arefilled pretty good.”

He sprayed the beans for aphids Aug.14 and 15. “I could find aphids onevery plant,” he said, adding that hewanted to get the spraying done whilethe ground was in good shape.

In other fields, he said his wheat was“getting ripe.” Thronson sprayedRoundup on his spring wheat Aug. 19“to help it get a little more even.” Heestimated that he was 10 to 12 daysaway from harvesting the wheat, andsaid not too many people in his areahad combines running yet.

When his wheat is ready, Thronsonwanted to be able to jump in the com-bine and go, so he was busy “checkingeverything over again.”

Meanwhile, he was getting thesprayer cleaned up and ready to go fornext year, and still had “some ditchingto do in the winter wheat field,” as wellas spreading some fertilizer. The win-ter wheat field may become soybeansnext year so Thronson said he wasgoing to try to get the soil sampled.

Thronson is feeling optimistic abouthow the crops are faring. With coolerweather forecasted, a little warmthand some rain would be ideal to gettheir crops really flourishing.

The WiltsesHerman, Minn.

Harvest has begun for Dennis Wilts.The Land spoke with Wilts on Aug. 20,

in the middle of theirthird day combiningspring wheat.

He was pleased athow well harvest wasgoing — “we got apretty good yield.”After the day’s com-bining, Wilts esti-mated that theywould be about a third of the way done.

It looked as though harvest, however,was going to take a break as “it soundslike it’s supposed to start rainingtonight.” While the rain may have puta temporary damper on wheat harvest,it’s still a welcome sight. He said theyhad also gotten one or two inches ofrain over the previous weekend.

Wilts is spraying his sugar beetswith a fungicide to ward off cercospora;it wasn’t bad yet, and he was hoping tostave off this fungal disease.

The high humidity and warm tem-peratures were making cercospora anissue on area sugar beet fields. Hehopes to only have to spray the fungi-

cide once this year.As for how the sugar beets are doing,

Wilts said that “with the rain we gotnow, they’re looking better.” Heexplained that the crop is pretty muchmade in August through the beginningof September. “We should have themoisture for them.”

Meanwhile, the soybeans are “look-ing pretty.” With the plants over waisthigh, he said it “looks like it’s going tobe a pretty good crop.”

The corn crop, however, needs someheat to get it really going. The mois-ture that fell was needed, but the heatis definitely something that’s missing.“We’ve got some fields that look good,and some that are behind.”

Once wheat harvest is complete,Wilts will begin doing tillage on thosefields. He said they grid sample all oftheir wheat fields. This year’s wheatfields will become next year’s sugarbeet fields.

“We’re sitting pretty good for mois-ture,” he said, “but we need the heat toget the crop moving along. We need a

later frost.” If that happens, Wilts saidhe believes that the crop will be“pretty average.”

As for an early frost ... well, no onewants to think about that happening.

The HoffmansNew Ulm, Minn.

Since Aug. 1, DonHoffman’s farm hasreceived one and aquarter inches ofrain. Every singledrop was needed, andvery much welcomed.

When The Land spoke with Hoff-man on Aug. 20, he hoped that theforecast would come true for rain.“Tonight it’s a pretty good chance andtomorrow morning,” he said. “Pointblank, we’ll take any.”

The lack of rain hasn’t hurt Hoff-man’s hay crop much at all. “We tookthe fourth crop hay last week. In fact,took it a week early,” he said. For the“second time in the last 15 years we’lltake a fifth crop.” Hoffman expectsthe fifth cutting to happen aroundSept. 7 or 8.

“The alfalfa crop is in its best year,”he said. “We’re incredibly happy aboutit.”

Their corn “has a long way to goyet,” however. Hoffman said that heprobably won’t be chopping cornbefore Sept. 15. “Corn is just startingto fill, so the rains are timely for me.”

He doesn’t worry about drying cornthis fall as it will be used strictly forsilage. The lack of heat doesn’t con-cern him as it does those in his areawho grow conventional corn — he canjust chop the corn a week later if con-ditions aren’t right.

His soybean fields have beensprayed for aphids and sprayed withRoundup as the weeds keep poppingup. Even though Hoffman noticedaphids in his soybeans, overall he saidthe beans look “pretty good.” He saidhe hopes he might “salvage a decentcrop out of it after all.”

Hoffman is “just peachy” that rainwas on its way — the timing of themoisture, he said, was “very benefi-cial” even though he knows it’s a little

The HagensLake Mills, Iowa

Rain was no longer a stranger atJim Hagen’s farm. In fact, it hadbeen a frequent guest the previ-ous five days.

When The Land spoke withHagen on Aug. 21, he reportedthat from “Sunday to now five

inches has fallen.” Even with thatmuch precipitation, he said there’s “no

water standing.”That’s good, because he said it wasn’t

forecast to end there.“The next four to five days there’s a

chance of rain every day,” said Hagen.Until Sunday his crops had been waybehind in moisture, so “it was just intime — the crops look good.”

“The beans are filling out now; lot ofpods on them,” Hagen said. “I thinkthey’ll start flowering now with all thismoisture.” The corn looks “real good.”Hagen estimates that his soybean andcorn crop is 90 percent good to excel-lent. A little hail fell on one small areaand “stripped the corn leaves.”

Hagen said he would be “getting thenew combine tomorrow.” Getting it setup will be on his to-do list, right alongwith getting the bins and dryer ready.Hagen said he had hauled the last ofthe corn, “and the bins are all empty.”

He has had the opportunity to get offthe farm more than once recently. Heattended the Iowa State Fair, which hedescribed as “crowded” but “a nice day.”He and his wife, Christy, went to aMinnesota Vikings preseason game atTCF Stadium in Minneapolis — “Itwas nice to be outside.”

He also enjoyed the sights andsounds of the Steele County Fair inOwatonna, Minn. — “I go every year.”Only 40 minutes from his house,Hagen heads north of the border for“the fair food, and interesting people towatch.”

If all the predicted rain does fall, heisn’t too concerned about it; “even if weget plenty, it’s good.” The crops needany rain they can get, having receivedonly 10 percent of normal rainfall forJuly, according to Hagen.

“It will be a good crop now.” ❖

Invest an Acre program turns Min-nesota farmers’ harvest donations intomeals for local families

Minnesota farmers have an opportu-nity this fall to help solve a rising butlittle-known problem affecting ruralcommunities throughout the state.

This year in rural Minnesota, fami-lies will miss 40 million meals. Min-nesota farmers already play a signifi-cant role in food production for thestate, country and world. But a needstill exists, and in rural communities,hunger is often hidden.

Feeding America’s Invest an Acreprogram turns farmers’ contributionsinto meals for local families. Farmerscan get involved in two ways: They canmake a cash donation now or pledge tomake a donation from this year’s cropat harvest. Farmers do not need tomake a final commitment until thecrops are at the elevator.

“Hunger does not discriminate,” saidJennifer Woodford, executive directorof Channel One Regional Food Bank.“It does not care where you live.Hunger does not care whether you areyoung or old. Hunger can strike any-one at any time.

“For many families, a serious lifeevent means hunger strikes when it isleast expected and defenses are down.A gift through Invest an Acre can helpus stop hunger in its tracks right inlocal communities.”

Hunger is often a hidden problemthat affects seniors, working familiesand children in rural as well as metroareas. One in 10 Minnesotans is at riskof missing a meal every day.

Invest an Acre is part of a larger ini-tiative to actively engage farmers incombating hunger — Harvest to EndHunger Minnesota. The second arm ofthe program is Share Fresh MN, afresh-produce donation program thataccepts unharvested or unsold producefrom farmers.

The program is simple: Farmers areasked to visit www.HarvestToEnd-HungerMN.org and pledge the rev-enue from an acre, bushel or anyamount of their 2014 crop to help fighthunger in their own communities.

When harvest nears, farmers will bereminded to go online to create a dona-tion form to bring to their local eleva-tor with their grain donation.

One hundred percent of the donationstays in the farmer’s community, and allof the money goes directly to providefood to hungry families. The MonsantoCompany is matching every donationnationally, dollar for dollar, up to$675,000, doubling the impact.

Grain AnglesA broader

perspective I recently had a great opportunity to help guide

farm tours at a regional farm-city day event spon-sored by our local extension office. It was a perfectmorning and hundreds of families, now generationsremoved from agriculture, came to see how cropswere grown and the milk they drink is produced.

As an added bonus, theyreceived a wonderful lunch anddelicious cheese curds for asnack. As you might expect, Ireceived all kinds of questionsabout the crops and animals wesaw on our tour.

I believe the best part of theday was the dialogue and face-to-face interaction with these con-sumers. Many of us in the indus-try, including me, may thinkquestions and concerns that con-sumers have about the growingconditions, animal production and life on the farmare very basic.

I’ve probably been too quick to dismiss these con-cerns and haven’t done enough to tell the story ofAmerican agriculture and the entrepreneurs whomake it great.

After this experience, not only did I think aboutthings from a new perspective, but I believe some ofthe families may have a new perspective and appre-ciation for the agricultural industry.

I hope some gained a better understanding of howcrops provide the clean-burning ethanol we useevery day, as well as the delicious and healthy milkwe drink. I also hope these folks share their experi-ence to other consumers, keeping the industry

Grain OutlookCorn condition at

20-year highThe following market analysis is for the week end-

ing Aug. 29.CORN — Corn gapped lower from the opening bell

last week and never regained enough momentum totouch last Friday’s close. Favorable weather and har-vest creeping up on us did littleto encourage buyers.

The open on Aug. 24 wasdelayed for two hours due totechnical issues on the ChicagoMercantile Exchange due to soft-ware upgrades. The late openingdidn’t faze traders since nothingwas moving and there wasn’t theurgency or stress to get tradinggoing. The anticipation of a hugecrop just around the corner keepsa lid on short-term upside poten-tial.

World geopolitical events and acrop that isn’t in the bin yet has prevented new con-tract lows for the time being, but if the crop isn’tthreatened with an early freeze, new lows are likely.The conflict between Ukraine and Russia continuedto make headlines throughout the week. At week’send, NATO estimated 1,000 Russian troops were ineastern Ukraine manning weaponry and advisingpro-separatists.

On the weather front, recent widespread rainsshould be adding ear weight. Crop conditionsimproved 1 percent as of Aug. 24 to 73 percentgood/excellent, a 20-year high. Corn was 35 percentdented as of Aug. 24 compared to 43 percent on aver-age. Early corn yields in the Delta states were phe-nomenal, running as high as 170-220 bushels per

Livestock AnglesSupply, demandbattle goes on

The battle continues in the livestock markets. Ithas been, and will likely continue to be, a strugglebetween supply and demand. As a result of theuneasiness of the cattle and hog markets due to thisstruggle, chances are that the erratic behavior inprice discovery will more than likely continue in theforeseeable future.

For the most part the cattlemarket has been sagging over thepast couple of weeks. One reasonhas been the beef cutout valueswhich have been erodingthroughout the period. This isreflecting reluctance by the retailsector to the higher price of beefand as a result indicating ademand decline at the higherprices.

Another reason might be thefact that weights are much higherthan a year ago, which might be an indication thatproducers were holding inventories back to capturethe higher prices reflected in the futures prices. Butfutures have not inverted and the back months arenow lower than the nearby contracts, so inventoriesare likely to move to market sooner. This could keepprices more on the defensive if immediate suppliesincrease in the short term.

On Aug. 22 the U.S. Department of Agriculturereleased the monthly Cattle on Feed report. The find-ings are as follows: on feed, 98 percent; placed, 93percent; and marketed, 91 percent. The report wasseen as neutral to slightly negative as placementswere higher than anticipated while marketed wasless than projected.

NYSTROM, from pg. 15acre. No extremetemperatures arein the current fore-casts, but many nowwould welcome conditions that wouldpush the crop to maturity.

Prices have attracted routine newcrop corn sales to Costa Rica andColumbia, but interest has beenquiet. Weekly export sales for old cropwere negative at -1.3 million bushels,but new crop were better thanexpected at 27.4 million bushels.

Weekly ethanol production wasstrong at 913,000 barrels per day,down 23,000 bpd or 2.6 percent fromthe previous week but 11 percentabove a year ago. Ethanol stocks weredown 5 percent from the prior week at727 million gallons. This is the loweststocks number in over three months.

Turning again to world events, Rus-sia’s incursion into Ukraine plumpedup wheat values this week. Thisstrength spilled over to the corn mar-ket, but that pull softened as the tradeheaded home for a long holiday week-end. There has not been any reportedactual interruption to export shipmentsout of the region. This should be moni-tored for further developments thatcould impact wheat and corn prices.

OUTLOOK: Corn has limitedupside potential near term if the bal-

ance of the year proceeds as expected.New lows will be anticipated, but it

may take until closer to theSept. 11 U.S. Department ofAgriculture monthly crop

report. The carry in the futures marketfrom December to March has been rel-atively steady in the 12 1⁄2 to 13 1⁄2cent range. Eighty percent of full carryequates to approximately 13 1⁄2 cents.This may be an attractive place tobegin locking in the carry, with addi-tional layers in place out to 15 cents.The lack of grower selling to pressurethe December futures relative to theMarch futures may be one limiting fac-tor to the spread trading to full carry.

For the last four weeks, Decembercorn has been trapped between $3.58and $3.81 per bushel. Every day we getcloser to new crop supplies becomingavailable to the market; this will favornew contract lows in the future. For theweek, December corn was down 6 3⁄4cents to close at $3.64 3⁄4 per bushel.

SOYBEANS — Soybeans were atale of two crops, old and new. Old cropbasis levels were screaming higherthrough most of the week with reportsof plus-400 SX reportedly paid in theeastern belt early in the week. Domes-tic values remained strong throughoutthe week and if you offered beans, youneeded to be prepared to have themtaken. By mid-week, export valuesbegan to decline as new supplies began

to be harvested in theDelta. Early bean yieldsin Louisiana and Missis-sippi were running ashigh as 96 bu./acre, butmost were in a 58-80bu./acre range.

September soybeansshowed high volatility bytrading a weekly rangefrom $10.64 1⁄4 to $11.891⁄4 per bushel. Theresome reports of proces-sors pulling soymealoffers due to the lack ofavailable soybeans. Soy-bean crop conditions asof Aug. 24 were down 1percent to 70 percentgood/excellent. This rating is the high-est since 1992. This reinforces ideasthat the yield on the Sept. 11 cropreport will be raised.

Market chatter during the weekincluded references to Sudden DeathSyndrome, but it usually happenssomewhere each year and it feels likebulls are grasping for something tofeed on. Soybean acres in Brazil areprojected to increase 4 percent this fallat the expense of corn acres as beanshave the best returns. This assumptionmay be in conflict with ideas beanacreage could suffer due to low soy-bean prices.

Weekly export sales for old crop werea net negative 2.3 million bushels, butbetter than expected for new crop at47.4 million bushels. The cancellationswere likely rolled into new crop with

just one week left in themarketing year.

OUTLOOK: FavorableAugust weather addingbushels, high crop condi-tion ratings, and no signof a frost threat suggestfurther downside for thesoybean market. Basedon recent action, Novem-ber soybeans may be con-tent to ease lower ratherthan race lower ahead ofthe Sept. 11 crop report.

After setting a new con-tract low this week in theNovember contract at$10.19 3⁄4 per bushel, thenext level of support will

For the week, November soybeanstumbled 17 3⁄4 cents lower, the Septem-ber contract collapsed 76 1⁄2 cents lower,December meal was down $2.00 andDecember bean oil was off 46 ticks.

MARKETING

TEALE, from pg. 15It is not likely that this report will

have a significant impact on the cattlemarket. However the cold storagereport suggested that supplies in stor-age were much greater than pro-jected.

This should continue to keep thestruggle between supply and demandat the forefront of the pricing of cattlesince the overall supply of cattle isstill well below average. Producersshould remain in constant awarenessof market conditions and protectinventories as needed.

The hog market has been underextreme pressure over the past sev-eral weeks. The supply of hogs and aweaker demand for pork have sentprices in a real tailspin during theperiod. The lean index, for example,has dropped over $11.00 just in thepast week ending Aug. 22.

Obviously, the market is oversold;however that does not mean that theremay be more weakness ahead. TheUSDA Cold Storage report released onAug. 22 indicated far more pork instorage than expected.

The supply of hogs seems to haveincreased since the initial porcine epi-demic diarrhea virus outbreak backlast spring that sent prices to all-timehighs. Because of this increase in sup-ply and the high prices paid for pork inthe past several months, a majorrecovery in prices seem remote at thistime.

However, because of the oversoldconditions and the relationship toother meats, a price recovery maybepossible in the upcoming weeks. Pro-ducers are urged to remain on top ofmarket conditions and protect theirinventories when necessary. ❖

WACHTLER, from pg. 15healthy and profitable for years tocome.

Reflecting on this event with con-sumers made me stop and think aboutmy learning experiences in the agindustry as well. The best of theselearning experiences stemmed fromgreat one-on-one interactions I’ve hadout on farms with producers.

The most valuable time was spentwhen there wasn’t an agenda, script tofollow or sale to make. I’ve learned alot through these relationships; I hopeI’ve returned some good advice to theproducers that have taught me somuch during my career.

It’s important to take time to visitwith your banker, agronomist, insur-

ance agent, equipment dealer or otherag professional. Share your story andfind out what’s going on in their world.

Like my recent experience, takingthese opportunities allows each indi-vidual to gain a broader perspective ofboth the farm and businesses thatwork with the farm. This will have atrickle-down effect, keeping your farmand the organizations serving agricul-ture healthy and profitable for years tocome.

Farm operators and landowners will have severalone-time choices to make inthe coming months regard-ing their farm program par-ticipation for the 2014-18crop years.

The new farm programoptions are part of the com-modity title of the new farmbill, which is being imple-mented by U.S. Departmentof Agriculture. Most cropcommodity programswill be in effect for the2014 crop year. Sincethe commodity farm pro-gram choices are for five years (2014-18), land owner approval and signa-tures will be required on all cash andshare rented farm land.

Farm program sign-up will takeplace at local Farm Service Agencyoffices, and will likely be separatedinto two parts. The first sign-up periodwill likely start in early Fall, and willbe for the purpose of reallocating cropbase acres, and potentially updatingfarm program payment yields. Thesecond sign-up period at local FSAoffices will be to make the actual farmprogram choice on each FSA farmunit, for each eligible commodity.

This sign-up period will likely startin late Fall of 2014, and continue intoearly 2015. In the coming months,farm operators and land owners willneed to research and evaluate the var-ious farm program options and alter-natives that will be available.

Land owners who do not farm theirland are not typically involved in farmprogram decisions at FSA offices, asthose decisions are usually made byfarm operators. Many land ownersrent their land out to farm operators,primarily in annual cash rental agree-ments that are renegotiated each year.Approximately two-thirds of the cropland in South Central Minnesota isunder some type of cash rental agree-ment.

There is a small amount of landunder share rental agreements. Oncea land owner has made their choicesfor base acre reallocation, updatingprogram yields, and the farm programchoice, those decisions will continueon through 2018, regardless if theland is rented to another farm opera-tor in future years.

The farm program decisions willalso be in place through 2018, if theland is sold in the next few years,which makes these decisions

extremely important to landowners.

Following are some of thechoices that producers andland owners will need toconsider at the farm pro-gram sign-up times laterthis year.Reallocation of cropbase acres

All farm program pay-ments for both the newAgriculture Risk Coverage

and the Price Loss Cov-erage programs will becalculated on crop base

acres, rather than on year-to-yearplanted crop acres. Land owners willbe given a one-time opportunity toupdate crop base acres on a FSA farmunit, based on the average plantedacres from 2009-2012, or they canchoose to continue with the crop baseacres that existed under the last farmbill.

The total reallocated crop base acresfor 2014-18 can not exceed the totalcrop base acres that existed in 2013farm program. Many farm operatorsplanted more corn from 2009-12, sothere may be an opportunity toincrease corn base acres on some FSAfarm units.Updating farm program paymentyields

Producers that chose the new PLCprogram will have a choice of keepingtheir existing counter-cyclical pay-ment yields on a farm unit from theprevious farm program, or updatingthe payment yields. Updated yieldswill be 90 percent of the five-year(2008-12) average crop yields for eligi-ble each crop on a farm unit.

The most recent county 5-year aver-age yield for a crop, dropping the high-est and lowest yields, will be used forthe county ARC program yields.ARC or PLC program

Producers and land owners willhave a one-time choice between theARC program, and the PLC program,for each eligible crop, on each individ-ual FSA farm unit. If no choice ismade, the FSA farm unit will beplaced in the PLC program for 2015-18, and that farm unit will have nofarm program coverage for the 2014crop year. The ARC program is basedon actual crop revenue (yield andprice), as compared to average bench-mark crop revenues. The PLC pro-gram is based on only crop referenceprices.

PLC program payments will be

made if the 12-month Market YearAverage price falls below the estab-lished reference price (target price) fora given crop. The marketing period forthe 12-month MYA price for corn andsoybeans is Sept. 1 in the year thatthe crop was produced until Aug. 31 ofthe following year. PLC paymentswould be made in October of the fol-lowing year, and will be made on 85percent of eligible crop base acres fora given crop.County or individual ARC program

Producers and land owners thatchoose the ARC program option willhave another choice to make, whetherto have benchmark revenues and

potential ARC payments determinedby county-level yields — ARC-CO —or individual farm-level yields —ARC-IN. There are several aspects toconsider regarding this decision.

ARC-CO program payments willoccur for a given crop when theactual county-level calculated rev-enue (county yield x MYA) is below86 percent of the county benchmarkrevenue for that year. The maximumARC-CO coverage is 10 percent, from76 to 86 percent, of the county bench-mark revenue (yield x price) for acrop, with potential payments madeon 85 percent of crop base acres. TheARC-IN program combines the

PROGRAMS, from pg. 17“weighted” revenue (farmyield x MYA) for all crops ona farm unit to calculate payments,rather than the crop-specificapproach used in the ARC-CO pro-gram. Payments in ARC-IN programare also limited to 10 percent of the“weighted” benchmark revenue forthe farm, with potential paymentsmade on 65 percent of crop baseacres.Bottom line

The basic commodity farm pro-grams in the new farm bill will be

implemented byUSDA for the

2014 crop year, sofarm operators and land owners willhave some big decisions to make inthe coming months. Producers andland owners that opt for ARC-CO pro-gram have the opportunity to choosebetween the ARC-CO program andthe PLC program for each eligiblecrop on a FSA farm unit. Those choos-ing the ARC-IN program will need tohave all crops on the farm unit in thatprogram. Any potential PLC or ARCpayments for the 2014 crop year willnot occur until October 2015.

Landlords on cash rental farms willbe a big part of thedecision makingprocess. A “no deci-sion” on reallocatingcrop base acres andFSA payment yields,will result in continu-ation of the existingbase acres and pay-ment yields. A “nodecision” on the farmprogram choice on aFSA farm unit willresult in that farmunit being in the PLCprogram for 2015-18,with no farm pro-gram coverage for2014. This error couldresult in the farmoperator missing an ARCpayment of as much as$75-85 per corn base acre for the 2014crop year. Not making the correct baseacre, payment yield, or farm programchoice could potentially result in lossof more ARC or PLC payments infuture years.

Farm operators and land ownersshould have received

information from theFSA regarding baseacre reallocation andupdating PLC pay-ment yields. Verysoon they will also bereceiving informationon the PLC and ARCfarm programchoices. Farm opera-tors and land ownersneed to take the timeto evaluate the vari-ous farm programoptions and alterna-tives that are avail-able. These decisionscould have a majoreffect on the futureprofit margins forfarm operators.

The basic commod-ity farm programsin the new farmbill will be imple-mented by USDAfor the 2014 cropyear, so farmoperators and landowners will havesome big decisionsto make in thecoming months.

This column was written for the market-ing week ending Aug. 29.

U.S. Department of Agriculture SecretaryTom Vilsack announced the official startupof the farm bill’s new Dairy Title, the DairyProducer Margin Protection Program, in amedia conference call Thursday morning.He and one of the bill’s champions, VermontSenator Patrick Leahy, emphasized how theprogram was designed to help “small tomedium size dairy operations” by protect-ing dairy margins as opposed to previousprograms designed more to protect prices.

Sign-up will run Sept. 2 to Nov. 28 for the last fourmonths of 2014 and all of calendar year 2015. Futuresign-ups will run July 1-Sept. 30 and the next avail-able sign-up will not be until the summer of 2015.Details are available from local Farm Service Agencyoffices and state university Extension offices oronline at www.fsa.usda.gov/mpptool.

A National Milk Producers Federation press releaseadds that there is a $100 sign-up fee for each calendaryear, which qualifies a farmer to receive free, basicmargin insurance coverage. Once farmers pay that fee,they are enrolled in the MPP for its duration, through2017, and must annually pay at least the $100 fee.

The MPP allows farmers to protect the marginbetween milk prices and feed costs. Producers willinsure their margins on a sliding scale, and mustdecide annually both how much of their milk produc-tion to cover (from 25 up to 90 percent), and the levelof margin they wish to protect.

Basic coverage, at a margin of $4 per hundred-weight, is offered at no cost. Above the $4 marginlevel, coverage is available in 50-cent increments, upto $8/cwt. Premiums are fixed for five years, but willbe discounted by 25 percent in 2014 and 2015, forannual farm production volumes up to 4 millionpounds. Premium rates are higher at production lev-els above 4 million pounds.

“Importantly,” according to the NMPF release,“USDA agreed with NMPF that the lower premiumswill apply to the first 4 million pounds of a farm’senrolled annual milk production, regardless of thefarm’s total production. For example, a farm with anannual production history of 8 million pounds thatelects to cover 50 percent of its production historywould pay the lower rate on all 4 million poundsenrolled in the program. Farmers will be able tochange their coverage (the percentage of milkinsured, as well as margin level) on an annual basis,with USDA establishing a 90-day enrollment win-dow of July 1-Sept. 30 each year after 2014.”

The MPP’s margin definition is the national all-milk price, minus national average feed costs, com-puted by a formula NMPF developed using theprices of corn, soybean meal, and alfalfa hay.

Farms in the program will be assigned a productionhistory consisting of their highest milk production ineither 2011, 2012 or 2013. A farm’s production historywill increase each year after the farm first signs upbased on the average growth in national milk produc-tion. Any production expansion on an individual farmabove the national average cannot be insured.

When the margins announced by USDAfor the consecutive two-month periods ofJan.-Feb., Mar.-Apr., May-June, etc., fallbelow the margin protection level selectedby the producer (from $8/cwt. down to $4),the program will pay farmers the differ-ence on one-sixth (or two months’ worth) oftheir production history at the percentageof coverage they elected to insure. Premi-ums must be paid either in full at sign-up,or 25 percent by Feb. 1, with the remain-ing 75 percent balance to be paid by June1. NMPF had urged USDA to providegreater flexibility on producer premium

payment, such as through milk check deductions.NMPF President Jim Mulhern said, “While USDA

advised us they did not have time to set up such asystem for the initial launch of MPP, we will con-tinue to work with the department in an effort tomodify this feature for future years.”

A second part of the MPP is a dairy product dona-tion program that is triggered when margins col-lapse. The program purchases dairy products to giveto food banks and, unlike the previous Dairy PriceSupport Program, does not store dairy products butpurchases them to give away. The program also pro-vides export and marketing incentives.

Mulhern stated in his own teleconference that thisbill represents “four years of consensus building” andthat he is “pleased with the result,” but added“there’s still more work ahead.” He said the biggestfocus now is outreach to farmers to help them under-stand and use this new program, and NMPF willdevelop a variety of tools to that end.

USDA’s latest Cold Storage report provided someinsight into what’s behind the cash dairy marketsthese days. July butter stocks, as of July 31, totaled170.2 million pounds, down 15.8 million pounds or 9percent from June and 125.6 million pounds or 42percent below July 2013.

American-type cheese, at 660.4 million pounds, was up5.2 million pounds or 1 percent from June, but 41.6 millionpounds or 6 percent below a year ago.The total cheeseinventory stood at 1.06 billion pounds, virtuallyunchanged from June, but 90.6 million pounds or 8 per-cent below a year ago. June revisions were minor from lastmonth’s report but were a bit lower in all three categories.

Meanwhile; cash cheese prices continued tostrengthen the last week of August while butterappeared to go into meltdown but then reversed itself.The block Cheddar closed Friday at $2.33 per pound, up6.75 cents on the week and 54.75 cents above a yearago. The Cheddar barrels closed at $2.3450, up 8.5 centson the week, 57.5 cents above a year ago, and 1.5 centsabove the blocks. Seventeen cars of block and none ofbarrel traded hands on the week. The National DairyProducts Sales Report-surveyed U.S. average block pricehit $2.0928 per pound, up 5.2 cents, while the barrelsaveraged $2.1824, up 6.5 cents. And, while cash cheeseprices flirted with below $2 per pound levels a few daysat a time, the NDPSR cheese averages have not beenbelow $2 since the third week of January 2014.

During this last week before Labor Day, most

cheese manufacturers are operating plants at ornear capacity, according to Dairy Market News.Some manufacturers continue adding nonfat drymilk to vats to increase volume. Early this week inWisconsin, some milk previously committed tocheese was re-directed to bottling, but anticipatedmilk supplies for cheese have now resumed.

Cheese curd sales are robust and above a yearago. With profits from curd sales ahead of profitsfrom barrel sales, some manufacturers are delayingdelivery of barrel orders in favor of selling curds.Some operations are running 24/7 and could selleven more. Customers for barrels are being toldthat it will be closer to the end of the year before thesituation resolves and even that is not certain.

Cash butter appeared to go into a meltdown the firstthree days of the week following two previous weeks ofgain (42.5 cents) and hitting a record high. It dropped8.25 cents, then regained 1.5 cents, closing Friday at$2.7550, down 6.75 cents on the week but $1.3175above a year ago. Twenty-nine cars traded hands thisweek. NDPSR butter averaged $2.1824, up 6.5 cents.

MIELKE MARKETWEEKLY

By Lee Mielke

By DICK HAGENThe Land Staff Writer

Bob Stallman, President ofAmerican Farm Bureau, cer-tainly wasn’t bashful whenasked his opinion of the Envi-ronmental ProtectionAgency’s pending water regu-lations.

“We think EPA not only isoverstepping common sense bound-aries on this issue,” he said, “webelieve they are overstepping legalboundaries that were granted underthe Clean Water Act legislation.”

In a private interview with TheLand during the recent Farmfest, hesaid that twice the U.S. SupremeCourt has said EPA cannot go as faras they intend and yet twice EPA hascome back with another structure,another rewording of the rule to try toexpand their jurisdiction further thanCongress intended.

Stallman said the ideal situation

would be for Congress, in aunified voice, to tell the EPA toaccept the ruling and back off.“That should be the appropri-ate oversight of the UnitedStates Congress,” he said. “Butto pass legislation on an issuelike this in a divided Congressis extremely difficult.”

Therefore, he said, “I hopeour Farm Bureau statement ‘Ditch theRule’ will actually happen and EPAthen crafts a rule based upon what theSupreme Court said earlier that imple-ments those restrictions that theCourt has placed on EPA, as opposedto continually trying to figure a wayaround the Court ruling.”

Failing that, Stallman said he hopesthe request of Farm Bureau and otheragricultural groups will prevail, for thenew Congress to vote to withhold fund-ing for the implementation of theClean Water Act proposed by EPA.

Differences of opinion on the defini-

tion of “navigable waters” and watersof the United States continue. Stall-man’s definition is those bodies ofwater Congress intended to be regu-lated, like the rivers, the bays, theestuaries, etc. The issue, he said, isthat EPA says everything is connected,even the drainage ditches across Min-nesota’s farming landscape.

“And therein lies the problem,” he

said. “EPA is of the opinion that every-where that water runs they should beable to regulate.”

As AFB President, does Stallman gettired of fighting battles with EPA?

“Definitely not,” he said. “I’ve got afarm down in Texas. We’ve had somerain, in fact a huge rain storm parkedover our part of Texas. My cousin tooka picture after this 6-inch rain stormand sent it to me in D.C. It showedwater across this 400-acre field ofmine. I said, ‘Here are the new watersof the U.S. under the EPA rules.’ So Ihave a personal interest in this pro-gram.”Future farm economy

Stallman hesitated to predict thestate of the farm economy for the nextfew years, even though the message islower grains prices.

“Predicting what is going to happeneconomically for agriculture is a lotlike predicting elections and theweather,” he said. “America agricultureis so strong. We’ll see a lessening of net

Bob Stallman

We think EPA notonly is oversteppingcommon senseboundaries on thisissue, we believethey are oversteppinglegal boundaries thatwere granted underthe Clean Water Actlegislation.

— Bob Stallman

See STALLMAN, pg. 27A


The issue of water quality —and who controls the water —is contentious. MinnesotaFarmers Union president DougPeterson said what is neededmost in this discussion is clar-ity and common sense.

The precise wording to define“navigable” waters, and the impact ofone body of water upon another, areamong the problems to resolve. Speak-ing at the recent Farmfest, Petersonsaid Environmental Protection Agencyregulation proposals are simply notclear.

“We had EPA Commissioner GinaMcCarthy on a conference call withour state presidents,” he said. “We saidto McCarthy and staff that what weneed are clear and common-sense defi-nitions of these rules as they apply toall waters of the United States.”

Peterson said that in their upcomingSeptember meeting with McCarthy,she needs to present clearly wordedlanguage that spells out in detail whatthese various water issues might be,and which waters are to be impacted.

“When you take away the resourcesof the agencies you don’t have theboots on the ground to educate thefarmers,” he said. “These agenciesapparently don’t have enough person-nel to take care of the rules theyalready have.

“So let’s put these resources to workon things we fully understand onwater issues, and then look for the netresults of those efforts. That way wehave quality data that gives directionas we move forward.”

Does the mood of this Congress inany way affect the thinking and deci-sion making of the EPA? He said thatwith Republican control of the Houseand Democratic control of the Senate,you have dysfunction between the twobodies of government.

“I think that is the angst that per-sists in the countryside today,” saidPeterson. “A lot of people have simplyaccepted that the reason our govern-ment doesn’t get things done isbecause they can’t talk.”

So his read on this fall’s election?“People are making money; they’re see-ing their taxes reduced; they’re seeingbudgets realigning, like here in Min-nesota a $1.2 billion surplus,” he said.

“We’ve done a lot of restructur-ing of government agenciesand their work. And now we’removing forward on transporta-tion funding in our state — lotsof roadblocks on Minnesotahighways this season but that’ssimply because we have lots ofroad improvement going on.”Rail concerns

Peterson said there are likely to besome problems during fall harvest ifrail cars for moving grain are tied upmoving crude oil, noting that it will bea matter of how much commoditytrains will get access to the rail lines.He’s been in front of the SurfaceTransportation Board twice explainingthe growing dilemma for farmersneeding hopper bottom cars to movegrain out, and pipelines to movepropane in.

“I look at them as being pretty muchdysfunctional,” he said. “Apparently(there have been) lots of letters andcommunications on what needs to bedone, but nobody is getting it done. Therail speed has slowed down andthey’ve increased the price. That’sbecause the railroads control ourtransportation. ... Follow the money —the railroads can make more movingcrude oil than they can moving grain,fertilizer, machinery.”

Peterson said that if Mother Natureis cooperative, and corn can dry in thefield, and it’s not a tough winter, accessto propane shouldn’t be a problem. Butthat’s a big “if” right now, he said. Withthese issues involving privately ownedcompanies, some of Canadian origin,he doesn’t think the political world canput enough muscle into the challengesto make things happen.

“I’ll be the first to admit that I don’tknow how you can control a Canadiancompany that owns the rail lines run-ning into the United States,” saidPeterson. “When our Congress someyears back deregulated the surfacetransportation structure across Amer-ica we saw costs to farmers, elevators,ethanol plants move up. And that’swhere we still are even though grainprices have dropped considerably. Herein Minnesota we don’t hear the horrorstories of the farmers and ranchers inthe Dakotas and Montana when itcomes to basis costs.”

He said that it’s “criminal” what therail companies can charge withoutgovernment regulation but, in spite of

these challenges, he remains positiveabout the future of agriculture.

“We’ve got the technology to moveforward; the genetics to handle diseaseissues while also bumping up yields;and most importantly we’ve got acadre of ‘take charge’ producers, espe-cially amongst these younger guys,

that are willing to take on these chal-lenges,” Peterson said.

“Sure grains are getting hammeredright now but look at livestock prices.It’s all about having the mindset to dealwith these peaks and valleys, becausethat is always the intriguing interest ofbeing an American farmer.” ❖

“Since 1976, Where Farm and Family Meet”


“Water quantity and water qual-ity are shaping up as major issuesin Minnesota,” said MinnesotaFarm Bureau president KevinPaap.

“This spring there was too muchwater in most areas, sometimesnot enough, and that is whydrainage management systems become a key partof planning the future of ag water in our state.”

Speaking at the recent Farmfest event, Paapexpressed concern over the growing role of govern-ment in the handling of Minnesota’s waters.

“What we have learned,” he said, “is that locallydesigned and implemented programs that are vol-unteer but have technical assistance and perhapssome cost-share assistance is generally the bestremedy. Water management policy is not a one-pro-gram-fits-all.

“When Washington people say you’re all going todo this program, it’s simply not going to work.That’s our growing problem with agencies in gov-ernment, state and national. They like to suggest gowith your list of 10 Best Management Practices, butthe reality is that a BMP for one farmer, one soilseries, simply is not a BMP elsewhere.”The science of drainage

Paap said that the considerable rains of June “setback the perceptions” of those who don’t understandagriculture and the science of drainage. Hedescribed how the ground should act like a sponge,slowly soaking up and absorbing moisture fromexcess rains rather than letting it run off the land-scape. Sometimes, however, reality doesn’t matchthe ideal situation.

“People simply don’t understandthat when you get two inches of rainin less than one hour, there is no sys-tem that will work with that deluge.You’re talking about 54,000 gallonsof water per acre,” said Paap.

“The other issue with June rains istiming — crops are still young, rootsare not yet established, so crops aresomewhat defenseless. We simplycan’t handle these very abnormalevents over our entire Minnesotaagricultural landscape.”

Further down the line, the hypoxiaissue in the Gulf of Mexico continuesunsolved. The mighty Mississippiwinds its way from Itasca State Park2,252 miles to the Gulf and in theprocess is a major drainage arteryfor much of the United States.

Minnesota agriculture is often blamed for startingthe problem, but Paap pointed out that what isneeded is a wide coalition of partners broughttogether to address the common question: How canwe do better?

“Agriculture is always about continual improve-ment,” he said. “What’s frustrating about this con-versation is that before we ‘think’, we have to assignthe percentage of blame to various parties that all

contribute to the water qualityissues of the Mississippi. The prob-lem is that we start arguing backand forth about the bigger culpritsin this issue and soon there is noconstructive thinking.”

Paap said that more so than mostany group, farmers want to do betterbecause the quality of our naturalresources is directly responsible fortheir future.Farm income downturn

Will the significant downturn infarm income for 2014-15 negativelyimpact future conservation pro-grams and land stewardship initia-tives?

“We don’t farm in the aggregate,”said Paap. “Despite the crash of com-modity prices, our livestock people

are doing great. Less income in corn and soybeans isalready a reality. However the ethanol industry isgoing good. You can’t put all of agriculture into onebucket.

“The beauty of both Minnesota agriculture andAmerican agriculture is that we are so diversified.We have a tremendous group of experienced, profes-sional farmers out there who know how to adjustwhen they need to do.” ❖

Paap: No ‘one-size-fits-all’ water management

What we havelearned is thatlocally designedand implementedprograms thatare volunteer buthave technicalassistance andperhaps somecost-share assis-tance is generallythe best remedy.

STALLMAN, from pg. 20farm income from the record levels of the past fewyears, but long-term you need to look at the debt-to-asset position, the so-called equity position of Ameri-can’s farmers and ranchers.

“America’s farmers and ranchers have done a greatjob of reducing their debt load. This isn’t like the’80s when farmers were head-over-heels in debt.Today’s farmers are doing a good job. They canweather a downturn because most farmers knew adownturn was inevitable after the past few years.I’m optimistic because the world needs Americanagriculture. There’ll be some adjustments, but at theend of the day, American agriculture will still bestanding strong.”Texas cattle industry

With drought forcing a near sellout of the Texascattle industry the past 2 to 3 years, will theyrebuild? If so, how?

“I get asked that question a lot,” said Stallman.“Yes, we did practically decimate our Texas cattleherd, but you’ve got to look at where the numbers

were coming from. A lot of these were small produc-ers with 30-40 cows. They sold their calves because itcost too much to keep them.

“But the big guys got pasture up in the Midwest;some even renting pasture land up here in Min-nesota. So they’ve somewhat maintained their cownumbers. Now that we’re getting some moistureregrowing our pastures, these guys will restock theirTexas pastures. So yes, we will restock but, given theprice of heifers, it’s going to take awhile.”Beef prices

Have beef prices gotten so high that retail beef atthe meat counter is slowing? Again, Stallman said heis asked that question frequently.

“Restaurants keep raising their prices. People keeppaying those prices for high end beef because beefcontinues a favorite,” he said. “It will affect substitu-tion of beef with other meats, poultry most likelybecause pork prices stay up due to the porcine epi-demic diarrhea virus issue. But I’ve been amazed athow demand for quality beef continues strong.Everybody keeps eating hamburger regardless.” ❖

Stallman on Texas cattle industry

Yes, we did practically decimate our Texas cattle herd (due to drought),but ... a lot of these were small producers with 30-40 cows. They soldtheir calves because it cost too much to keep them.

— Bob Stallman


In some ways the battle againstgreenhouse gases has been a losingone and, in regard to agriculture, asomewhat unsettled one.

“We’ve made a lot of progress the last 30to 40 years on particulates, sulphur andthings of that nature.Acid rain, for exam-ple, is not the problem it used to be. Ingeneral our city air is cleaner than it usedto be,” said John Baker, research leaderwith the U.S. Department of Agriculture’sAg Research Service, “but there has beenlittle progress over greenhouse gases.”

Speaking July 23 at a farm field dayevent, Baker said that agriculture’srole regarding greenhouse gases is stillbeing sorted out.

“Initially there was a lot of optimismthat if we adopted certain farmingpractices we could ‘soak up’, so tospeak, a lot of the excess carbon diox-ide,” he said. “But that optimism hastempered because the problem is solarge in terms of emissions thatchanges in farming practices just did-n’t impact the atmosphere.”

Early thinking, said Baker, was thata major shift to no-till farming couldsequester a lot of carbon, but it lookslike those amounts are very modest.

“Even if you accept some of the ini-tial estimates, the amount of CO2that’s being emitted into the atmos-phere, primarily from coal and gaso-line consumption, is so great that the

contribution we can make from carbonsequestration is likely not going toslow things down,” he said.

But he emphasized there are othergood reasons to build organic matterand store carbon in soils. “It improvessoil fertility and water holding capac-ity,” Baker said, “so we still want toencourage that strategy, but it’s notgoing to be a big player in our green-house gas solutions.”

Perhaps a bigger potential benefitfrom no-till farming is on the issue ofnitrous oxide.

“It’s a much more potent greenhousegas,” said Baker. “It’s present in muchsmaller concentrations but nitrogen fer-tilizer is the major source of this contam-inant so things that we can do to mini-mize its presence will likely have a biggerimpact in our clean air strategies.”

He’s realistic about changes in cropproduction having only minor effectson CO2 emissions, but he does see dif-ferent strategies in nitrogen fertilizerusage possibly reducing the threat ofnitrous oxide into the atmosphere.

“But it’s going to be difficult,” he said,“because a lot of the things we need todo to reduce nitrous oxide emissions aresimilar to what we need to do to reducenitrate pollution. That means morecareful control of nitrogen, especially‘over fertilization’. It boils down to incor-porating best management practices onall your inputs in crop production.”Avoiding the blame game

“I think overall, Minnesota farmersare doing great on their stewardship ofour soils and water,” said MinnesotaDepartment of Agriculture Commis-sioner Dave Frederickson. “Sure, thereare mistakes but we need to get awayfrom the ‘blame game’ which is so easyto inflate into an emotional brouhaha.”

He suggested that Best ManagementPractices is where the focus needs tobe, and that farmers all over the stateare doing just that.

“Farmers are pretty darn honestabout their own assessments too,”Frederickson said. “(Surveys) indicateabout 40 percent of Minnesota farmersadmit being part of the problem, butare also willing to be part of the solu-tion, too. That’s sort of the Minnesotastyle. They say, ‘Let’s see what we cando to fix this rather then pointing fin-gers.’ I’m optimistic about our

progress.”Frederickson said that an Ag Water

Quality Certification Program isbeing worked on that will be able toprovide answers to some of the prob-lems farmers face regarding waterissues.

“We can help establish some ofthese BMPs on their farms,” he said.“And when they’re done with it, theyget certainty for the next 10 years.That means nobody is going to comeout and tell them what to do or whatthey can’t do.”

The program is a collaborativeeffort with the MDA, the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture and the Environ-mental Protection Agency.

“EPA came to Minnesota and said toour farmers, ‘water management isyour issue, not ours. We want you totell us what works and how to make itwork,’” said Frederickson. “That’s anincredible happening. USDA Ag Sec-retary Vilsack came out also, plusGov. Dayton signed off on this memoof understanding involving USDA,EPA and the State of Minnesota. Weare the lead agency on this effort. I’mexcited because I know good thingswill happen.” ❖

Although agriculture is safer than itonce was, it still ranks among the mostdangerous industries.

Those working on farms risk fataland nonfatal injuries, work-relatedlung diseases, noise-induced hearingloss, skin diseases, and certain cancersfrom prolonged sun and chemical use.Many of the mechanical, chemical, andenvironmental hazards increase therisk of accidents. There were 476 farm-ers and farmworkers that died fromwork-related injuries in 2010. Theleading cause of death for farmworkersis tractor overturns.

Unfortunately, we continue seeinginjuries and fatalities in the agricul-tural area and often they can be pre-vented. Most everyone working in theagricultural area knows of someonethat has been injured or has died as adirect result of a farming accident.

Farm equipment is safer than it usedto be, but there are still injuries andfatalities that can occur.

Often youth are utilized to help outwith the farm work. Be sure to look outfor their interests by keeping them safe.Always think of how to safely operate themachines and equipment you are run-ning before you start and be sure to tellyouth important information as well.

In 2009, an estimated 16,100 youthwere injured on farms and 3,400 ofthese injuries were due to farm work.On average, there are 113 youth lessthan 20 years of age that dies annuallyfrom farm-related injuries, with themost prevalent age group being thosefrom 16-19 years of age.

Take things easy, exercisesafe practices on the farm


Switching your dairy operationfrom selling milk to making andselling cheddar cheese is one hugeshift in strategy, especially whenyou’re milking 180 cows.

But that significant transforma-tion recently happened for Alise

and Lucas Sjostrom, operators ofBrooten, Minn.-based RedheadCreamery. In fact, one of their veryfirst batches of cheddar cheese wasa delectable treat Aug. 5 in the Agri-cultural Utilization Research Insti-tute tent at Farmfest where TheLand talked with Lucas Sjostrom.

“We’re on our fifth make of cheese

curds,” he said. “My wife Alise and her mother,Linda, are now making cheese curds three days aweek. The cheese making occurs about 100 feet fromwhere the cows are milked so this is indeed a closeknit family operation.”

You start slowly in this business, especially whenyou’re dealing with a food product with a limited shelflife. Sjostrom said only about 15 percent of daily milkproduction goes into curds so far. Market reaction willobviously determine which way production trends inthe future.

So what triggeredthis dramatic newventure?

“When my wifewas 16, she knewshe wanted toreturn to the farmbut she also knewshe didn’t want tomilk cows,” he said.“So on one of herreturn trips to thefarm she told herdad, ‘I want tomake cheese hereon our farm’. Shehad visited anotherdairy farm making cheese and liked what she saw.So the past 12 years she has worked to do just that.”

After Alise got a dairy quality degree at the Uni-versity of Minnesota, Sjostrom said they lived in Ver-mont and Wisconsin, two cheese ‘hotbeds.’

“She worked for three cheese companies duringthat span so she learned the craft, including the mar-keting of the product,” he said. “Plus raising our ownfamily on the farm was something we wanted to do.”

Alise is president of Redhead Creamery.Except for a few Brown Swiss left over from an ear-

lier 4-H project, the herd today is Holstein. Lucasgrew up on a dairy farm near New Ulm, Minn. Heworked for the National Holstein Association after hisgraduation from U of M and currently works for DairyHerd Management, a national dairy publication.

How big of a market is Redhead Creamery shoot-ing for? Because cheese curds need to be sold andconsumed fresh, they’re being cautious.

“So local trade at least for now is where we are,”said Sjostrom. “We’re rapidly getting to the pointwhere we can ship anywhere overnight and cus-tomers will be getting fresh curds two to three daysafter processing.

“But we’re hoping to get a following of customerswho will drive directly to our farm and get thesefresh curds when they’re still warm — directly out ofthe vat at 3 p.m. on Fridays.”

They make cheese three days a week; curds just onFridays. The price right now is $5 per half-poundbag. Aged cheddar is also on the agenda but thatwon’t be ready till November.

The Minnesota Pork Produc-ers had a lot to share at thisyear’s Farmfest — so much, infact, they needed their owntent.

That tent was full to thebring with education, learningand tasting, including freebites of freshly grilled pork roast cour-tesy of Hormel Foods and prepared bysome excellent volunteer chefs.

“Our board had discussed how wecould expand our presence at Farm-fest,” said Theresa Twohey, Director of

Communications and Market-ing, “especially since misinfor-mation about the swine indus-try was getting too manyheadlines. So our own tentwith the emphasis on educa-tion was our mission, and wewere very pleased with theresults.”

They didn’t keep a precisecount on total attendance throughtheir tent but approximately 4,000bite-size samples of delicious porkroast were consumed (multiple biteswere the tendency of most).

Another highlight was the educa-tional live stage involving all 14 Min-nesota Pork Ambassador candidates.Each gave a 10-minute presentation toshow, tell, inform and convince theiraudience about a particular topic.

For 18-year-old Noah Fenske ofUtica, Minn., the topic was the porcineepidemic diarrhea virus, the mostexpensive disease to ever hit the swineindustry, with an estimated 5 millionto 7 million pigs killed since it wasfirst discovered in the United States inMay 2013.

“We each could pick our own topic,”Fenske said. “I choose PEDv because itcontinues being such a disastrous andcostly disease to our swine producers. Igot tremendous amounts of informa-tion from the internet which I used inputting together my presentation. TheNational Pork Board has a good web-site on this issue. Also Harris Vaccines

down in Iowa has great info on PED’sdisease so that really helped.”

He said a strong educational pro-gram is a must in doing battle againstPEDv, particularly since there is notas yet a reliable vaccine for medicalcontrol. He said that both producersand consumers need to get better edu-cated — “It can’t transfer to any otheranimal, including human beings.”

Fenske said he was headed toNortheast Iowa Community Collegein Calmar this fall, majoring in DairyScience and Technology. He alreadyhas work experience at two area dairyfarms, and believes his transition intothe academic world will be a reward-ing challenge.

Other topics for the Ambassadorcandidates ranged from ag literacy tonutrition and cooking information.When the candidates were not onstage, videos played featuring threeMinnesota pork production farmssharing stories of the stewardshipand technology now standard in mod-ern swine operations. These videosdirectly addressed several misconcep-tions, such as use of hormones in porkproduction, usage of antibiotics, con-finement housing, etc.

Allison Bastian of Nicollet Countywas named the new Minnesota PorkProducers Ambassador. TaylorHomann of Pipestone County was firstrunner-up; Molly Frank of MowerCounty was second runner-up. ❖

Education a big mission for Minnesota Pork Producers


The big attraction at the Uni-versity of Minnesota ExtensionService information tent atFarmfest this year — besides ahuge inflatable Goldie theGopher perched on the roof —was a display of the eightweeds that are now showingresistance to the glyphosate technol-ogy trait.

Extension Information SpecialistDave Nicolai was on hand Aug. 6 totalk business — resistance business.

“Interesting to me is the tremendousvariation in geography of farmers whoare stopping,” said Nicolai. “We’ve hadpeople from Stearns County whereapparently the common ragweed isbecoming an increasing problem. Butso far we aren’t seeing that so much insouthwestern Minnesota.

“More and more on the resistanceissue, it boils down to location, loca-tion, location. We’re also getting lots ofcomments about water hemp, in thepot next to pig weed here at our booth.You can tell from the comments thatwater hemp resistance is increasing.It’s controllable, yes, but the reason forthe increase is the small percentagethat seems to be escaping control.

“And as we so well know, just a fewskips here and there can lead to a dra-matic population increase of a particu-

lar weed showing resistance tothe herbicide.”

Nicolai noted that more grow-ers are buying into the strategythat a pre-emergence herbicideis a strategy that needs to beconsidered next year.

“But this year, because ofextreme moisture issues in

many fields, growers couldn’t do theirpre-emergence,” he said. “They gotbehind the eight-ball and never couldcatch up. So with ‘post’ so difficult thisyear, I think renewed awareness that a‘pre’ program is good planning.”

The question, then, is: Hasglyphosate use suddenly become partof farming history? While Nicolai con-cedes the glory days of glyphosatecleaning up everything are gone, it stillhas an important role to play.

“There still is a place in combinationwith the right amount of other weedcontrol products,” said Nicolai, notingthat we’ve reached a stage in Americanagriculture when we shouldn’t beoverly dependent upon one product todo everything; hence why mixingmodes of action and having differentsites of action are valuable.

He noted that years back whenquack grass was everyone’s dilemma,the only “quack killer” was atrazinewhich, in turn, caused additional prob-lems because of its tremendous carry-over tendencies. ❖

Do you have a Back Roads story suggestion? E-mail [email protected] or write to Editor, The Land, P.O. Box 3169, Mankato, MN 56002.

This week’s Back Roads is the work of The Land Managing Editor Tom RoyerThe orphan girl from the alpsHeidi’s Village, near Maienfeld,

Switzerland

She’s not real, of course, but you’dbe excused if you thought other-wise after visiting her tiny vil-

lage in the hills above Maienfeld, inthe Swiss canton of Graubünden.

The storybook girl, Heidi, sprungforth from the mind of authorJohanna Spyri in 1880 and wouldbecome one of the world’s best-sellingbooks of all time.

The tale of the orphan girl from thealps would also be adapted for motionpictures, television and stage countlesstimes, perhaps most famously in the1937 film “Heidi” starring a nine-year-old Shirley Temple in the title role.

If you happen to find yourself trav-eling the hills and valleys of eastern

Switzerland, you’ll be walking thesame paths trod by Spyri during herchildhood summers, paths thatwould form the vivid setting of herfamous work of literature.

Witnessing the stunning landscapealone is worth the trip. But as long asyou’re there, you might as well visitHeidi’s house, enjoy watching Heidi’sbell-ringing dairy cows and goats,grab a bite to eat at the Heidihofrestaurant, sip from the Heidi foun-tain and, naturally, take a strollthrough the Heidi gift shop.

Back down in Maienfeld, you caneven pull up a stool and have a drinkat the Heidi wine bar.

There’s something for everyone. ❖
