Local ag leaders honored at land use banquet By KAREN JORGENSEN County Staff Writer

A local farm family and three individuals were honored last week at the Excellence in Agriculture Awards banquet at the Servicemen’s Club in Blooming Prairie. The event was held in conjunction with the Land Use Expo last Tuesday and Wednesday. Aaron Anderson was recognized as the Outstanding Young Farmer and presented his award by Ashley Schmeling of Land Use Expo. Anderson grew up on his family’s dairy and crop farm until the death of his father in 2000. After high school he worked in construction until 2012 when the opportunity arose for him to begin farming on his own. He now does cash cropping of corn and soybeans on 500 acres near Blooming Prairie. He also has joined with two partners to operate a beef operation where they raise cattle and sell directly to several co-ops in the Twin Cities, he said. Currently they have about 200 head of beef and slaughter seven or eight a week. Named the Outstanding Family Farm was the Kramer family farm of Hayfield, now operated by Ted and Tom Kramer and their sons. Ted and Tom’s father, Don, who started the farm, is

still active at the age of 89, Land Use Expo member Jim O’Connor said in presenting the award. The family has 5400 acres of corn and soybeans as well as finishing hogs. In accepting the award, LaVae Kramer, Tom’s wife, said that the Kramers believe there is no better place to raise a family than on the family farm. She thanked the Land Use Expo organizers for helping to tell the public about agriculture, saying that when people visit the farm they have no idea what a family farm is all about and often have a negative opinion about farmers. Ken Folie, who lives in Canisteo Township, received the Commitment to Agriculture Award, presented by Steele County Feedlot Officer Dan Vermilyea. Folie grew up on a farm near Clark’s Grove and attended Austin Community College before beginning a 33-year career at IBM in Rochester. When he retired from IBM he began a second career in township and county government, Vermilyea said. He served on the Dodge County Planning Commission and also as the Dodge County feedlot officer. Folie also stressed, Vermilyea said, that feedlot officials had to make science-based decisions.

Ken Folie accepted the Commitment to Agriculture award from Dan Vermilyea, Steele County feedlot officer. Folie is a former Dodge County feedlot officer and current member of the Canisteo Town Board.

In presenting the Lifetime Achievement Award to Gene Francis, O’Connor asked “where do you start and where

do you end?” Francis taught agriculture management at Blooming Prairie High School for 32

years and during that time also helped many area farm families with farm management issues. When he retired from teaching,

O’Connor said, he continued to work with families in his own farm management business, always assisted by his wife, Pat.

LaVae Kramer thanks the Land Use Expo for choosing the Kramer family farm as the Outstanding Farm Family. Tom and Ted Kramer and their families operate the Kramer family farm while farm founder Don Kramer still helps out daily at 89.

Ashley Schmeling presented the Outstanding Young Farmer award to Aaron Anderson, who farms 500 acres near Blooming Prairie and is partner in a beef raising operation.

Minnesota Crop Report: Minnesota farmers were limited to 3.7 days suitable for fieldwork as a large area of heavy rain moved across Minnesota during the week ending August 14, 2016, according to USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. The resulting wet conditions led to flooding and ponding in some areas, raising concerns about crop stress and losses. Field activities for the week included cutting and baling hay, harvesting small grains, and applying insecticides as needed. Topsoil moisture supplies were rated 0 percent very short, 2 percent short, 72 percent adequate, and 26 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture supplies were rated 0 percent very short, 4 percent short, 79 percent adequate, and 17 percent surplus. Seventy-eight percent of Minnesota’s corn acreage was in or beyond the dough stage, 12 days ahead of the five-year average and 5 days ahead of last year. Twelve percent of the corn acreage was in or beyond the dent stage. Corn condition rated 85 percent good to excellent. Eighty-nine percent of the soybean crop was setting pods, a week ahead of average, but 6 days behind last year. Soybean condition rated 79 percent good to excellent. Fifty-seven percent of the spring wheat acreage had been harvested, 6 days ahead of the five-year average. Spring wheat condition rated 69 percent good to excellent. Seventy-four percent of the oat crop was harvested for grain, 4 days ahead of average, but equal to last year. Sunflower condition rated 58 percent good to excellent. Eleven percent of the potato acreage had been harvested, 4 days ahead of average. Potato condition rated 92 percent good to excellent. The second cutting of alfalfa hay was 94 percent complete. The third cutting of alfalfa hay was 58 percent complete, a week ahead of last year. Pasture condition rated 76 percent good to excellent. Minnesota Crop Report is sponsored by:

Home repair loans and grants are now available With warmer weather upon us, USDA Rural Development is gearing up to help local homeowners finance home improvements through low-interest loans and grants. “Now is a good time for homeowners to evaluate the need for necessary repairs or replacement of items such as a roof, electrical, plumbing and siding,” said Chuck Phillips, Area Director for Rural Development’s Southeast Area. “Energy efficiency improvements through replacing windows and insulation also qualify. Funds can also be used to replace a furnace, sanitary disposal system and to make homes handicap accessible.” Phillips said applicants must own and occupy the home, and their income may not exceed guidelines established by county and household size. Income limits vary by county and average $25,000 for a one-person household and $28,500 for two-person household in Southeastern Minnesota. Income limits increase for larger sized households. Phillips recommends checking with the local USDA Rural De-

Agriculture for

the 21st Century

velopment office for income limits in your county. Applicants must also have an acceptable credit history, show repayment ability, be unable to afford a conventional loan and live in a community with a population of 20,000 or fewer. Faribault, Northfield, and Owatonna are eligible for the program as they are currently “grandfathered” in. The maximum loan is $20,000, repayable over 20 years with a one percent interest rate. Grants are limited to elderly homeowners over the age of 62, and can only be used to remove health or safety hazards or remodel dwellings to make them accessible to household members with disabilities. The maximum grant is $7,500. For assistance in the following counties: Blue Earth, Dakota, Dodge, Faribault, Fillmore, Freeborn, Goodhue, Houston, Le Sueur, Mower, Olmsted, Rice, Scott, Steele, Wabasha, Waseca and Winona, contact the USDA, Rural Development office at 1408 21st Ave NW, Suite #3, Austin, MN 55912.

Karen Anderson is the Agriculture Extension Educator with the University of Minnesota Extension in Rice and Steele Counties. She can be reached at 507-444-7685 or ande9495@umn.edu.

29 articles profile sustainable approaches on MN farms vides grants for testing farming ideas that focus on conservation, energy, profitability, or farmers’ quality of life. Each project submits an annual report to the MDA, which is then edited into a short article for the Greenbook so farmers statewide can benefit from grant investments. The 2016 Greenbook is more than 140 pages long and includes articles and findings from 29 projects, including several on cover cropping, energy efficiency on dairy farms, solar-powered drip irrigation, compost tea, beneficial insect habitats, and controlling thistle in organic blueberries. The online version of the Greenbook is available at www. mda.state.mn.us/greenbook. To request a free hard copy, call

BURNING WASTE AND DEBRIS

A Burning Permit is required prior to burning any brush, or other woody debris except when done for recreational purposes. Only “farmers” are allowed to burn some of their household refuse in a burn barrel if refuse collection is not available. This farm exemption does not apply to burning rubber, plastic, tires, shingles, tar paper, insulation, wiring, paint, treated wood, and hazardous materials.

Most new structures or modifications to structures require a zoning permit.

N EARTH MoVING: EXCAVATIoNS, GRADING, AND FILLING

A Permit is required prior to excavating, grading, or filling within 300 feet of a public watercourse. A Conditional Use Permit is required for excavations exceeding 50 cubic yards unless such excavation is ancillary to a permitted construction project. A Stormwater Management Permit is required for any disturbance of land over one (1) acre in size. No earthwork can be done on slopes of 18% or more. No filling is allowed in flood plain.

A permit from the MN Pollution Control Agency is required prior to burying any man-made products including concrete, wood, glass, and other items from the construction and demolition of roads, driveways, buildings and other structures. This requirement applies in all areas of the county including cities. Concrete from a farm may be buried on-site if properly recorded with the property deed at the County Recorder’s Office.

DRIVEWAYS AND CULVERTS

RELATED PERMITS

A permit is required prior to the installation, repair, or change of use of a driveway access from a County Road. This includes County Roads in cities. For access from a Township Road please contact your Township.

SEPTIC SYSTEMS A Sewage Treatment Permit is required prior to the repair or modification of an existing septic tank or drainfield. A Permit is also required prior to the construction of a new septic system. An inspection of an existing system is required when replacing a house, when adding living space to a house, and prior to the sale of a house or business. These requirements apply in all areas of the county including cities.

ANIMAL FEEDLoTS A Permit may be required for the construction of a new feedlot or physical modification or expansion of an existing feedlot. All existing feedlots must register with the County on an annual basis. This requirement applies in all areas of the county including cities.

JUNK SToRAGE AND JUNK YARDS Storage of any waste, discarded, and salvaged material must meet the standard specified in the County Ordinances. Any place that stores, buys, sells, or trades salvaged materials or any place that stores five (5) or more inoperative or unlicensed motor vehicles for a period of more than three (3) months is considered a “junk yard.” Legal junk yards may be allowed in areas zoned for industrial use.

WETLANDS Any work that drains or fills any part of a wetland in any part of the County (including cities) is prohibited without a permit or approval from Dodge County.

•Don’t be shy. Unless you are moving to a place where you already have a built-in social network, you should expect to encounter some loneliness upon arriving in your new location. Resolve to make the most of all your new home has to offer by joining a social organization, connecting with your university’s alumni group or volunteering with local charities. If you have a job lined up, sign up for company-sponsored outings or teams. Relocating to a new city can produce mixed feelings of anxiety and excitement. Planning ahead and doing some homework can help you as you transition to your new home.

out if people tend to live with roommates or go it alone in the city you’re relocating to. If you are moving to a city where you know very few people or no one at all, consider becoming someone’s roommate. The right roommate can provide an instant social network and help you learn the ropes of your adopted home. If you plan to live alone and rent, recognize that many landlords will require a guarantor before renting to tenants with no income.

•Research the job market. Certain cities have more opportunities for people in certain fields than others, so make sure the city you plan to relocate to is a place where you will have ample opportunities in your chosen line of work. Otherwise you might find yourself settling for a career you don’t like or relocating again to a job market more accommodating to someone in your field.

•Examine your finances. Moving is expensive, and it can be even more expensive when moving to an entirely new city. If you are moving to pursue career opportunities but don’t yet have a job offer in hand, examine your finances and work out a worst-case scenario in the event that your job hunt takes longer than you hoped for. Unless you have a benefactor who can help you pay your bills and avoid debt while you look for a

job, make sure you have several months’ worth of living expenses saved up before moving.

2012 and 2013 did so for a job-related reason. Relocating to a new city for a job is different than moving from one home to another within the same community. Relocating to a new city can be a life-changing event that requires planning and maybe even a little luck to make it work.

REAL ESTATE Take the lead in your home search! Maximize your basement’s potential Top 5 home projects

to help you save money

If today’s real estate market has you frazzled, a home renovation project may be just the right answer. With home prices on the rise, finishing a basement is the latest trend towards building even more equity in the home. A finished basement can offer a little extra room and give a growing family space to breathe, and with so many uses, a renovated basement may be exactly what your home is missing. It can provide additional storage, a sound-proofed media room, craft room, guest room, or income suite. The possibilities are endless. Here are some tips on how to give your basement a 180-degree makeover: Waterproof it. Check the interior foundation and floors to make sure there are no existing moisture issues, water damage or mold problems. Address any

Add color. Transform the dull and boring space into an inviting oasis or a colorful playroom with a simple coat of paint. If your basement has low ceilings or limited natural light, choose lighter, warmer tones to brighten the space. To add some drama, consider adding depth and visual interest to your space with a different colored accent wall. Accessorize it. Throw pillows, rugs, lighting, and artwork are simple additions that can immediately enhance or change your basement’s look and feel. Pot lights can modernize, while artwork and throw pillows can add a splash of color. Accessories are really an opportunity to make it your own and let your personality shine through. They also provide an inexpensive way to keep your space looking fresh from year to year.

primary moisture issues before finishing the space. Examine grading to ensure water runs away from your foundation. Soundproof it. Installing acoustic insulation is the perfect excuse to crank up the subwoofer, host a get-together or let the kids run wild. Soundproofing is the ultimate solution to maximize your basement’s peace, quiet and privacy. Industry experts suggest using Roxul Safe n’ Sound, which effectively absorbs sound and is easy to work with. Add or replace flooring. Installing a new floor can improve the overall comfort level and look of your basement. Vinyl, laminate, ceramic tile, and engineered hardwood are great options. Say no to carpet, which can harbor mold and allergens, particularly in the basement, and don’t forget to lay a subfloor.

It’s remodeling season, and with so many projects on the todo list, which should you tackle first? While some projects provide great long-term return on investment, a few simple ones can provide instant savings. Here are the top home spring projects to help you save money: Caulk around windows and doors — Stop air leaks around your home by sealing existing gaps and cracks. Use caulking or weather stripping around doors and windows. Installing a door sweep is also a good idea. Insulate your home — Use insulation with a high R-value, such as Roxul Comfortbatt, which can be used to top up insulation in your attic. Aim for an R-value of 50 or a depth of 16 inches. For whole home efficiency, ensure other areas of your home, such as crawl spaces, basement headers, walls and ceilings, are well insulated. It will keep your house cool in the warm weather and take the stress off your air conditioning unit.

Consider planting trees in strategic locations to provide shade and reduce cooling costs. Install a rain barrel — Water is an important, but costly resource. Installing a rain barrel is an easy and affordable measure to reduce your water consumption, while keeping your lawn and garden looking great. These simple home maintenance tasks can be well worth the effort, potentially providing hundreds of dollars in annual savings.

Clean your AC unit — Come spring, it’s not uncommon to find an air conditioner’s condenser and compressor blocked up with dirt and debris. This can result in greater stress on the unit, causing it to work harder. Giving it a thorough cleaning is easy and can help maximize your AC unit’s service life while minimizing your energy bill. Plant trees — Direct sunlight can heat up surfaces and building materials, as well as the interior temperature of your home.
