Home is where your Fat Little Heart is Brookview Farm Winery produces wines, ciders

MILACA – As harvest approaches for traditional central Minnesota crop farmers, a family in Mille Lacs County is already entangled in their season’s yield.

Brookview Farm Winery welcomes the harvest season each year around Labor Day and will gather grapes for processing throughout September.

“Last year, 2018, was a phenomenal year for grape growth; this year, we’ll definitely be down,” said Arlyn Wall of the harvest.

“We won’t know exactly, but I have a feeling (we’ll have

reduced yields) because of the past winter. The vines seem to be growing a bit differently because of it.”

Wall owns Brookview Farm Winery with partner Katie Zimmer. The two live on the developing vineyard at 6772 90th St., Milaca. They also manage established grapevines in Stearns County. Together, the two properties have 3.5 acres of grapevines in varying stages of development. Mature vines yield the raw product for the couple’s line of Fat Little Heart wines – available at their tasting room year-round and in five liquor stores, hyperlocally.

The name, Fat Little Heart, was derived from a road sign left behind after a celebration;

it became the family’s logo and a replicated sign points the way to the Brookview vineyard and tasting room.

“We’ve really come to grow into the name,” Zimmer said. “It’s come to symbolize how full and fat our hearts are with love, gratitude and all the good things we’ve encountered

in this journey thus far. It’s more than just a heart and arrow.”

Wall and Zimmer became a licensed farm winery in 2014 as they navigated through increasing state and federal regulations. The two had tossed around the idea of owning a winery as a retirement plan, but

when multiple restructurings continued to threaten Wall’s career, he took a leap of faith.

Soon, Zimmer made the shift as well. The two are the only fulltime employees of the business and they rely on working long hours with help from family

Brookview from front and friends during harvest season.

Brookview Farm Winery produces seven grapes wines, three fruit wines and four hard apple ciders. The family produces over 1,000 gallons each year of wine alone.

“Some of our grapes are single variety wines like the Minnesota Marquette called Eclipse,” Wall said.

“We have another one called Smokefall which is a Frontenac on toasted PHOTO BY NATASHA BARBER oak.”

Arlyn Wall displays grapes on a vine Aug. 16 at Brookview Farm Winery in Milaca. The Although Brookview business uses a refractometer to measure the brix percentage in grapes in order to produces single variety determine the sucrose in the fruit and optimal harvest time. wines, they also use multiple grapes in wine batches to create red blend and white blend wines.

Cold weather contingent stock of Merlot, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc grapes are flown in from Washington in the event Brookview faces poor yields.

The two tend to 10 varieties of grapes.

“There are wild grapes in Minnesota and there have been for years, but they don’t make a great wine,” Wall said.

“The grapes we grow have been hybridized by the University of Minnesota.

(The university has) done a good job with creating a lot of varieties that are cold hardy to 35 degrees (below zero) without suffering a tremendous • 8-20 Ton sizes amount of injury.”

Grow tubes protect young grapevines Aug. 16 at Brookview Farm Winery in Milaca. The vines will be trellised using a single highwire system.

Although intensive harvest takes place in September, grapevines need care throughout the growing season. Scouting for insect and fungal pests and maintaining the structure of the vines is important.

“Springtime pruning is critical because they will grow like weeds,” Wall said. “Once they get a big sprawl they are unproductive. They are putting all their energy into growth and no energy into fruit production.”

Zimmer and Wall use grow tubes to start their vines before attaching them to a single highline trellis. The shoulder high crop keeps the yield protected from passing wildlife. Birds cause problems only when

insects puncture the fruit.

Nearby trees shelter the vines from blustery winters.

Harvest preparation begins in August when Wall uses a refractometer to measure the sugar content of each grape variety. Generally white grapes ripen before reds. Overripe grapes can become mushy and unstable for processing; underripe produce can be sour.

When picked, the grapes are processed in the lower level of the couple’s home which has been renovated to meet state requirements.

A single glass of wine is derived from about one cluster of grapes.

“The essence for harvesting for us is to harvest all of one variety or maybe two in a couple of days, and then crush it and get it into the fermentation stages as quickly as possible,” Wall said.

When harvest is complete, the winemaking begins.

ribs of each animal in the ring,” Hackett said. “When she got to mine, she had a different expression than she did with all of the other animals. My steer was filled out in that area and it made an impression.

As results were being announced, she pulled me out and that’s when she announced the champion.

I couldn’t stop smiling.”

Hackett chose her steer from the herd in January, but Elizabeth tried to convince her to choose a different one.

“I’m not sure why, but I didn’t think she should pick the one she did,” Elizabeth said. “She stuck with it all the way through and her hard work and determination paid off.”

Hackett’s crossbreed was all black besides a few white spots on its back legs and underside. The steer was largely cooperative and Hackett said she never had problems with it on the halter.

“We had another steer in the herd her brother wanted to show, but couldn’t because he was too wild,” Randy said. “She was fortunate she created the bond of trust with her steer and he

never gave her problems.

Especially when you get into the show ring, there are so many things that can change the animal’s behavior – from the change to sandy ground, the large crowds and the high noise levels. Her steer was calm the whole time and you could see how much it trusted her.”

Hackett has been showing cattle through the Graham 4-H Club for 10 years, starting as a Cloverbud and working her way through the ranks.

While she enjoys the many different aspects of 4-H, showing cattle is her favorite part and this year’s Minnesota State Fair goes down as her most memorable. Coming home with the secondyear state fair experience and a champion ribbon, the Hackett family could not be more proud.

“This year was something special for Madison,” Randy said.

“Last year, we thought we had a great steer, but we thought nothing like that this year. We felt her steer was ordinary, so we were surprised with how far she got it. It was fun to watch.”

RICE – When Madison Hackett earned a blue ribbon at the Benton County Fair, excitement and preparations began for her time in the show ring at the Minnesota State Fair.

“I got what I needed to get to the state fair, but I was disappointed,” Hackett said of the county fair experience. “I placed third and fourth, rather than the first and second I did last year.”

Hackett, 13, of Rice, showed a crossbred Holstein-Angus dairy steer. Little did she know the state fair judges were on her side during her time in the ring. When she walked out, she was named champion.

“I was shocked but so happy,” Hackett said. “It was cool to be champion.”

Hackett was in the 2018 state fair show, where she earned reserve champion and earned a spot in the auction.

Hackett’s parents, Randy and Elizabeth, were even more surprised than she was at her second-year results.

“I was dumbfounded,” Randy said. “We were always told making it to the state fair auction was a once-in-a-lifetime thing, so when she made it again this year, we were surprised to say the least, but very proud. All of the animals that make it to the state fair are a higher caliber and the competition is close.”

Hackett felt she had a good indication of the pending results while she PHOTO SUBMITTED was in the arena.

Extension will also train its employees to better work with stressed individuals.

“This is a multifaceted issue, and it covers a wide range of subtopics,” said Emily Wilmes, a Stearns County Extension educator and the director of the task force.

Mental health and stress have long been a focus of Wilmes’ work.

She has organized and presented “Farming in Tough Times” seminars focused on dealing with farm stress, mental wellbeing and building resilience.

“We want to get resources out there and be present in these communities, working with individuals and with families to help them with whatever their stress may be,” Wilmes said UMASH projects reach farmers in Minnesota, nationally Over the last year, UMASH has partnered with the state of Minnesota and grassroots organizations to promote mental health among communities.

UMASH is a collaboration of the University of Minnesota School of Public Health and the College of Veterinary Medicine, Minnesota Department of Health, National Farm Medicine Center and Migrant Clinicians Network.

UMASH funded three ongoing projects to address the needs of women and youth in agriculture and tell stories to combat the stigma of mental health problems.

UMASH partnered with the Ag Health and Safety Alliance to expand a health and safety program equipping agriculture students with the

tools they need to identify and address stress and mental health problems in themselves and others. The program reached nearly 800 students over the last year.

The center partnered with extension and American Agri-Women to launch an interactive webinar series to help women in agriculture identify and manage stress on the farm. More than 1,000 farmers in 46 states have participated since December.

F i n a l l y , UMASH joined forces with the National Alliance on Mental Health Illness Minnesota to expand Question, Persuade, Refer training in greater Minnesota, helping residents identify and respond to early warning signs of suicide.

“Farming is a livelihood and a way of life, one that has both rewards and hazards,” said Bruce Alexander, UMASH director, a professor in the University of Minnesota School of Public Health.

“It’s important that farmers, farm workers and their families in Minnesota and beyond be healthy in all facets of their work and their lives: financially, physically and mentally. Our mission is to help agricultural communities be as healthy and productive as they can be.”

sad things happening because of the economic situation in farm country,” said Trisha Sheehan, an extension educator in Willmar who serves on extension’s task force.

Sheehan’s work focuses on connecting farm family children to mental health resources.

“The awareness level is there now, which I think can cause real stress among children,” Sheehan said. “In the ‘80s, there was a different kind of stress because you knew something was up.

People were on edge, but you didn’t know why, exactly. Our young people are more aware of what’s going on today because of access to social media and the media in general. This is true for farm economy related issues, as well.”

Educators will help connect farmers to mental health management resources already available to them, such as doctors,

ers and their families to mental health resources.

At the Upper Midwest Agricultural Safety and Health Center, spearheaded by the U of M, healthcare professionals are working to cultivate resilience among farmers during difficult times.

Mental health practitioners are increasingly concerned about the stress level of America’s agricultural workers.

During the farm crisis of the early 1980s, the suicide rate among farmers was nearly twice that of other white males over the age of 20, according to the National Farm Medicine Center. Today, commodity prices are low and operating costs are on the rise, increasing the chances of a second farm crisis — this time exacerbated by extreme weather and geopolitics.

Taken together, farmers are facing stressors like they have not seen in decades.

The university’s expertise comes from the life experiences of its staff.

ST. PAUL — Low farm income, a lingering trade war and other issues affecting agriculture are increasingly causing stress and mental health issues for farmers in Minnesota and around the country.

The University of Minnesota has stepped up to fill the gap for farmers looking for mental health resources.

More than 90% of American farmers and farm workers said financial issues impact their mental health and cause stress, according to a May study from the American Farm Bureau Federation.

Business concerns and the fear of losing a family farm also cause mental strain, as do extreme weather and rural isolation, the study shows.

At the same time, less than half of those surveyed said it is easy to access mental health services in their area.

In response, University of Minnesota Extension in April announced the formation of a rural stress task force working with communities to connect farm-

Producers affected by natural disasters who filed prevented planting claims and then planted an MFP-eligible cover crop with the potential to be harvested or for subsequent use as forage, qualify for a $15 per acre payment. Acreage of cover crops must have been planted by Aug. 1 to be considered eligible for MFP payments.

So, when can you expect a payment? The first payment will be comprised of the higher of either 50 percent of a producer’s calculated payment or $15 per acre. The first payment was made in mid-to-late

Sign-up for the Market Facilitation Program is open. The Market Facilitation Program, or MFP, provides aid to assist farmers hurt by trade disruptions prompted by tariffs on their products. The United States Department of Agriculture is authorized to provide up to $14.5 billion in direct payments through MFP for 2019 to assist impacted producers. Sign-up for the program is through Dec 6.

Commodities included in the MFP are alfalfa hay, barley, canola, corn, oats, sorghum, soybeans, triticale, wheat, dairy, and hogs, among other products. To be eligible for payments, applicants also must either have an average adjusted gross income for tax years 2015, 2016 and 2017 of less than $900,000 or derive at least 75% of their adjusted gross income from farming or ranching. Producers also must comply with the provisions of the Highly Erodible Land and Wetland Conservation regulations, often called the conservation compliance provisions and have a farm number with USDA’s Farm Service Agency.

Payments are calculated differently by the type of commodity.

For non-specialty crops, assistance is based on a single-county payment rate multiplied by a farm’s total plantings of MFP-eligible crops in aggregate in 2019. A producer’s

Waivers Farmers are getting a little more than fed-up with President Trump’s farm policy and some are finding it hard to maintain their support while watching their livelihood take hit after hit. Call it fake news but there are more and more stories about angry, great patriots whose patience is running thin.

As if the ongoing tariff BY ROGER STROM war with China was not doing The Business of Farming enough damage, the decision to give 31 smaller oil refineries exemptions from annual biofuel-blending requirements was a tipping point for some of his most adamant supporters.

Roughly 40% of the U.S. corn crop is turned into ethanol and the waivers mean the loss of 4 billion of 15 billion gallons of annual ethanol production and 1.4 billion bushels of corn not going to the biofuel industry.

Since Trump took office, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has issued 85 exemptions to oil refineries to stop blending ethanol in their fuel.

According to the Renewable Fuels Association, the waivers could result in a staggering $10 billion transfer of wealth from the agriculture and biofuel sectors to the oil industry. A big hit for corn producers already struggling with five years of low prices and damaged crops from some of the worst weather in years.

At least 16 ethanol plants have already shut down since the EPA increased waivers including the Corn Plus ethanol plant in Winnebago. The Renewable Fuels Association said the closures have affected more than 2,500 jobs.

At the Iowa Corn Growers Association’s Annual Grassroots Summit, Vic Miller, past president of the Iowa Corn Growers expressed his frustration, “We’re tired of it. The president promised he was going to take care of ethanol and we’re not seeing that. People are down, the ag economy is down and the last thing we needed was this final blow, you might say – the nail in the lid of the coffin – to grant more waivers.”

During the 2016 presidential campaign Trump promised farmers he would defend the Renewable Fuel Standard and the biofuels industries roles in the marketplace. In June, Trump stood on Iowa farm ground and promised corn farmers he would review the Renewable Fuels exemption program.

Farm bankruptcies and loan delinquencies are up, exports to China are down from $24 billion in 2014 to $9.1 billion in 2018 and down another $1.3 billion in 2019 so far. And now corn growers are losing a big chunk of their market.

Yet, a recent survey of farmers found 79% still approve of the job Trump is doing. In spite of the market chaos, they continue to pledge support for a president that has promised his trade policies will help the agricultural industry win in the end.

According to the president’s most recent tweets, “Farmers are starting to do great again.” Not sure which farmers he’s referring to. … just sayin’.
