Outlook changes from hot to normal By KIM FUNDINGSLAND Staff Writer kfundingsland @minotdailynews.com
The Climate Prediction Center has substantially revised its longrange weather outlook for North Dakota. The March outlook called for temperatures to range higher than normal throughout the planting and growing season. That is no longer the case. The CPC’s latest temperature projection, issued April 16, has backed away from a warmer than usual outlook to one that falls with-
in the long-term norm. The latest CPC forecast for MayJune-July places North Dakota in the “equal chance” category, meaning there are no clear atmospheric indicators that the state will experience temperatures higher or lower than normal during the 90-day period. The CPC explains it this way: “In areas where climate signals are weak, such that the likelihoods of monthly mean temperatures or month accumulated precipitation amounts are similar to climatological probabilities, equal chances is indicated.”
In the March outlook the CPC was leaning on the effects of El Nino, a warming of Pacific Ocean temperatures, to have a greater influence on warm temperatures in North Dakota than is now expected. However, the CPC maintains very warm temperatures will prevail along the West Coast from Alaska to southern California and for the entire western third of the United States to nearly the Montana-North Dakota border. As is mentioned by the CPC, precipitation probabilities through July See CPC — Page 18

Busy Oak Valley Lutheran maintains its vibrance By ANDREA JOHNSON
Staff Writer ajohnson@minotdailynews.com VELVA – Oak Valley Lutheran Church in Velva has a lot going on. Rev. Tim Johnson, the pastor of the church, said Oak Valley draws its congregation from all directions and has a membership of around 600 baptized members. The programming for young people is so robust that the church hired a youth and family coordinator, Gail Slinde, to run the youth program. There are programs for children in elementary school, for kids in junior high and in high school. The senior high students will be traveling to Detroit this summer to take part in an ELCA Rise Up For Youth Conference. A quilters group meets regularly and makes quilts to give away to people like those in the Domestic Violence Crisis Center. Sometimes there is a senior quilts event worship, where high school seniors received quilts. A men’s group meets monthly for breakfast and fellowship. There is also a church lutefisk supper which Johnson said is very famous in the region. Two different musical groups perform different kinds of music at services. The Solid Oak group performs Southern gospel at a service once a month and the SonRise

group performs contemporary Christian praise music. Johnson said the church is also a community hub, with many different community groups meeting there. “It’s just a resource place,” he said, with a gym area, an education wing and a fireside wing. The church houses a community food
pantry and is the site of Weight Watchers meetings “Also, new this last year is “Brighter Rainbows,” a Christian pre-school and after school child care, which is an important organization reaching out to meet the needs in our community,” said Johnson. Iona Loken, a longtime church
member, said a Lutheran church was organized in 1886. Charter members of the church were Hans Fjone, Ivar Gjellstad, Hans Hanson, Lewis Larson, Karl Opsahl, A.J. Oslie, N.O, Westgaard, O.N. Westgaard and E.O. Walley. The original church building was built around 1900 and the par-
sonage was built in 1905 at a cost of $1,200. The original church building was enlarged in 1928. Its exterior was redone in 1937. The following year the horse barn was demolished and a room and garage were added to the parsonage. That parsonage was sold in 1947 and a new one adjacent to the church was finished the following spring. The present brick church was built in 1961, according to Loken. The parish education building was also built in 1961, a gift from Mr. and Mrs. A.R. Kumm in memory of their daughter, Verna Beall. Loken said the brick church was designed by E.J. Schoenrock and Sons and contains many symbols of the old church. The present chapel contains the stained glass windows, altar, altar rail, pulpit, baptismal font, and pews from the former church building. Loken and Mabel Olson are the church archivists and historians. Theresa Rom Haaland, archivist until 1996, compiled a lot of the church’s history. Loken has been a member of the church since 1957. A lot has changed since then, she said. Church members today have smaller families and some people have to work on Sundays. “It’s still vibrant,” she said. “There’s a lot of new people and that’s good.”

factories globally,” Bartsch said. Additional capacity was added to the plant in 2014, and last fall AGT announced plans to increase production further in 2015, bringing the plant’s capacity to about 105,000 metric tons a year. Other expansions or conversions of capacity to food ingredient production and other projects are being considered, the company stated. The Minot plant signifies where the company sees opportunity in the industry, Bartsch said. “The market is growing in so many different ways for pulse crops today. It’s not just your bowl of split pea soup now,” he said. “There’s all kinds of opportunities and growing demand for these products.” AGT Food and Ingredients exports to more than 100 countries.
Pulse ingredients from the Minot plant Minot are finding their way to places like China, where they are used to supplement protein in various food products. AGT Foods ships from North Dakota in containers that are transloaded at the coast so the efficient movement of product is a priority. The biggest challenge for the export business lies in the logistics of connecting supply to demand, Bartsch said. When events occur at the ports, such as a recent shipping slowdown, it impacts exports. On the demand side, AGT Food and Ingredients has offices around the world, where staff work daily with buyers and consumers to identify market opportunities. India always has been the biggest consumer of pulse, but Bartsch said North America and Europe are growing, especially in nontraditional uses of pulse products as food ingredients.

change the marketplace going forward now is the weather – if there’s some drought issues somewhere,” Haugeberg said. “We are going to see prices pretty flat, similar to what we are seeing today.” Farmers are locking into today’s prices with certain commodities. The projection is for a large soybean crop so farmers are being advised to consider advance pricing. On the other hand, a crop such as corn can hardly go much lower, Haugeberg said. Some farmers are locking in prices for wheat, which has seen prices fluctuate but at levels below what they have been in recent years. “Every time it gets close to $6, that’s probably the time to think about doing something,” Haugeberg said. Larson said he’s been working with farm budgets that project market prices comparable or a little higher than current prices. Spring wheat is being estimated at about $5.75 a bushel. Paige Brummond, Ward County Extension
Inside Ag MINOT DAILY NEWS agent, said price volatility and unpredictability always have been a part of farming. “That’s one of the biggest challenges of farming is not knowing what your crop is going to be worth in the future,” she said. “Right now the biggest concern is just the prices and how low they are already and are they going to stay that way.” How producers will be impacted is likely to vary based on each farmer’s situation, she said. Farmers who are trying to grow their operation or younger operators investing in land and equipment will be hit harder. “But really it’s going to affect everybody across the board,” Brummond said. “There are producers out there that aren’t going to turn a profit this year. In the good years they need to stick some aside and plan that there are some years they are going to lose money.” There’s a considerable inventory of grain being stored on farms yet from last year, requiring farmers to do some additional planning to figure out when best to market old crop. A lot of it is lower quality crop that for which there’s little demand, Haugeberg said, so a good crop this year would enable farmers to blend the grain and make it more easily marketable.

The 1965 North Dakota Legislature approved Minot as the official state fair and the 1966 fair was the first official State Fair. The “North Dakota State Fair History Book – 50 years of History & Fun” contains the fair’s history from 1922 until 1965 when Minot’s fair became the official state fair. Included in the book is how the fair became the official state fair and information about many events held over the years. The 43rd and final production of the Minot edition of the North Dakota State Fair was held in July 1965, according to The Minot Daily News files “It was in 1919 that talk of a fair in Minot first started, but it was not until September 1922 that the first venture was held. Profits totaled only $71 that first year but it was a starting point and from that day on the North Dakota State Fair in Minot has grown bigger and better each year. During the regular session of the 1965 Legislature another milestone for the Minot exhibition was reached when it was named the official North Dakota State Fair beginning in 1966. “Today’s fair plant alone is valued at over one million dollars including barns, exhibit and administration buildings, grandstand and bleachers, all located on 110 acres of land. It is North Dakota’s largest fair – over 122,000 in attendance in 1964 – and can handle daily crowds of more than 30,000,” according to the files. This year’s North Dakota State Fair “Celebrating 50 Years” will be July 17-25.

All in the family: Three brothers and a nephew own Opland Farms By MARISSA HOWARD
Staff Writer mhoward@minotdailynews.com There are many times when farming stays in the family, tilling and plowing the same land from generation to generation. How often, though, do families stick together to work on their farm? Opland Farms is a family farm in Des Lacs owned and operated by three brothers and a nephew: Stan, Doug, Stewart and Adam Opland. Chelsey Opland, Doug Opland’s daughter, works on the farm as well. The land, which spans around 9,000 acres, was bought by their grandfather and father when Stan Opland was still in high school. Though the Oplands grew up in a family of six children, with Stan being the oldest, followed by Lynette, Teresa, Doug, Kylene and Stewart Opland, the brothers decided to take on the responsibility of the farm. There is 20 years in between Stan Opland and Stewart Opland, with Doug Opland in the middle at 10 years apart from each. “We weren’t really that close to each other when we were younger because of the large age difference,” said Stewart Opland. “I never really got the chance to be around Stan because he was 20 years older than me.” Now, fate brought them back together again as they all work long hours each day with their brothers by their side. They walk in the footsteps of their father and grandfather, who were both full-time farmers as well. The Opland brothers said the farm has grown in size considerably since it first began, now renting and owning farmland as well as prairie land. They had livestock in 1995 but, with not enough time to do both, they decided to focus on full-time farming instead. The Opland brothers grow corn, wheat, durum, barley, sunflowers, canola, flax, peas and soybeans — nine crops that are common to North Dakota. They now each have families that help on the farm sometimes as

‘It kind of gets in your blood, you know. When farming is what you do.’ –Stan Opland of Opland Farms well. Stan has two children, Adam and Amy, with wife Shelly. Doug has three girls, Jessica, Ashley and Chelsey, with wife Debbie, while Stewart has two children, Gunnar and Kensil, with wife Stacy. Of the families, Adam Opland, Stan Opland’s son and Chelsey Opland, Doug Opland’s daughter, work on the farm the most. Adam Opland, at 34 years old, said farming is what he has always wanted to do. He will probably take on the farm someday when the Opland brothers can’t farm anymore. Chelsey Opland, 22, said she is still deciding whether she will go into full-time farming or not. “It’s a lot more work than everyone thinks it is,” said Chelsey Opland. “But to a point, girls can
do the same work as guys, especially when it comes to driving equipment and trucks.” All of the Oplands grew up in North Dakota and can’t imagine life without it. “I love the change of the seasons, hunting, camping, fishing, the quietness,” said Doug Opland, and Chelsey Opland chimed in. “I couldn’t live in town. It’s quiet and you just get that freedom out here that you don’t get anywhere else.” As for the occupation of farming, the Opland brothers had similar opinions. “We’re our own boss,” said Doug Opland. “It’s flexible, it’s not the same thing day after day. There’s always something new.” Stewart Opland agreed. “Here,
you’re done when the work is done, which is sometimes never.” He laughed. “It teaches you to be a hard worker; you have to learn how to prioritize and get things done, and you have to discipline yourself to do it.” As for Stan Opland, he said that the fresh air in the country is the only place he would want to be. “That’s all I wanted to do was farm; I didn’t want to do anything else,” he said. Through farming, the Opland brothers have had the unique opportunity to get closer to each other as well. “We get along pretty good but we have our moments,” said Doug Opland. “We don’t even have to speak to each other sometimes, we just understand what the other person is thinking.” Stewart Opland broke in. “Doug and Steve are like an old married couple, they bicker just like one.” They all laughed. “But at the end of the day, it’s nice having all four of
us to fill in for each other when someone is gone and just to have that good company.” The Opland brothers said that like their father, who didn’t stop farming until he couldn’t make it out of the house anymore, they would more than likely farm until they physically couldn’t do it anymore. “A guy gets attached to his land, and my dad and grandpa were that way, too,” said Doug Opland. “My dad’s biggest fear was that the farm would be sold off and not stay in the family, and now I understand that.” Stan Opland nodded. “It kind of gets in your blood, you know. When farming is what you do.” At the end of a dirt road in Des Lacs is what looks like an ordinary farm. When you look deeper, though, a family — more specifically a band of brothers and a nephew — have continued a history as rich as the soil that they stand on.

remain “equal chance,” meaning that there are no good indicators of either an abundance or lack of precipitation during the forecast period. Nationally, it is noteworthy that most of the West, Southwest and Southern U.S. is now projected to experience “above normal” precipitation through July. An exception remains the West Coast which is experiencing numerous problems associated with a lack of precipitation. Those who subscribe to the prognostications of the Old Farmer’s Almanac will note that the publication projects rainfall in North Dakota to be one inch above normal in May, which would be a boost to germination of row crops. The Almanac says precipitation in June should be average and in July a half-inch below average. As for temperatures, the Almanac predicts one degree below average for May and leans toward slightly above normal temperatures in June and July. Looking further ahead, well beyond what forecasting is usually capable of accurately predicting, CPC experimental outlooks project much warmer than usual temperatures across all of North Dakota for the months of December 2015, and January-February 2016.

Staff Writer ttsering@minotdailynews.com As farmers in the state are about to start another planting season, the North Dakota State University’s North Central Research Extension Center is urging farmers to sample their soil before investing anything in the field. “It is important to understand what the soil fertility level is and one can’t do that just by going out and looking at the fields, one has to sample the soil. Take a soil sample from the field and send that to a laboratory to find out what the nutrition level is. So, you don’t over pile the fertilizer on or under-fertilize,” said Eric Eriksmoen, research agronomist at the North Central Research Extension Center. “It is quick. Within a week one will get the result and it is just around $20 for a basic analysis,” he said. See SOIL — Page 19

“That is important.” Agreeing with the agronomist, Venkat Chapara, a crop specialist at the same center said scouting fields is also important. “Until flowering stage, one has to scout the field very carefully,” Chapara said. The crop specialist urged the farmers to check the center’s website and read the 2015 N.D. Field Crop Plant Disease Management Guide book. “Everything is there and farmers can also submit their email IDs to receive upto-date information about diseases and chemicals. What chemical should be used for what particular pathogen,” Chapara said. According to the research center, grasshoppers are very common in the region and for that the agriculture experts say scouting is must. “Farmers need to pay attention at what
PAGE 19
they are doing, because commodity prices this year are less. This year, the corn price is two and half dollar per bushel where as last year, it was $5 or $8,” said Eriksmoen. “With low commodity products, farmers should not put excessive amount of inputs, fertilizers and chemicals. That is one way of risk management.” “They have to understand what the threshold levels for an insect or disease or weed are because just seeing one grasshopper, one shouldn’t go and spray the whole field. Maybe five grasshopper or maybe 10 grasshoppers, and one has to understand the economic threshold for an insect or disease or weed,” he added. “This year, we had a mild winter and farmers are going to have an early crop season and it’s going to be an interesting year.” The research center has greenhouse labs as well as open fields where the crop specialists and agronomists at the center organize research, soil sample tests and advise farmers of the state what, how and when they should start investing in a particular crop.
