On a quest for unique wrenches
Wilmont farmer amasses large collection in retirement By Julie Buntjer jbuntjer@dglobe.com WILMONT — Lloyd and Clara Fuerstenberg farmed for many years on the outskirts of Wilmont, raising crops in the field and 11 kids on the farmstead. With that many children, they had little time for things like vacations and hobbies. Now, the couple has discovered retirement is pretty nice. They spend their winters in southern Texas and the rest of
their time in Wilmont. The transition from farmer to retired status wasn’t an easy one, though. As Lloyd points out, it didn’t take long after his retirement in the mid-1990s for Clara to tell him he needed a hobby. “So, I found a hobby. It’s better than sitting in the liquor store,” he said, standing inside the doorway of a building that once housed the couple’s motorhome.
The walls of the long, tall structure are now covered in Lloyd’s hobby — collections of antique wrenches that grew to collections of antique and unusual tools, bottle openers, shoe horns, whatchamacallits and thingamajigs. A few steps into the building, Lloyd points to the pieces that started it all — a set of old Oliver wrenches once owned and well used by his dad. It isn’t a complete set,
but Lloyd hopes it will be one day. He’s missing just two of the wrenches — the RP206 and the RP209. “We had Oliver tractors growing up,” Lloyd said. In fact, Olivers were what he used all of his farming life. It wasn’t until a year ago that he bought something different — a C Farmall. Though Lloyd may have stayed true to Oliver over the years, his collection of wrenches spans all
tractor makes — Ford, Case, Farmall, John Deere — and other brand names as well, including Dayton, Hudson, Morrison, Cadillac, Gale and Maxwell. One wrench has “Le Roy” etched in it — it’s the only one Lloyd has ever found with that name. Few have the sentimental value, though, than the Oliver collection. In addition to the wrench set he hopes to one day complete,
Lloyd was able to purchase a pipe wrench also owned by his father at one time but passed on to another brother. When it came available at a farm auction, Lloyd placed his bid to keep the wrench — and “a bunch of” other tools — in the family. “I don’t care how rusty they are, they get cleaned up,” Lloyd said, detailing a cleaning process that

includes putting the wrenches inside a cement mixer with small rocks and churning them around to let the “rust fly.” He then washes the wrenches and gives them two coats of clear spray paint. When they are cleaned and painted, Lloyd gets help from his son, Jim, to hang them on the peg board siding that lines the interior of the 44-footlong by 30-foot-wide building. The display now fills much of the space, though there are a few areas where he can add new treasures. “We travel to Texas every winter, so he’s always looking,” said Clara. “He picks them up at flea markets and farm auctions.” “You start getting a bunch of them and then you start looking for
more,” Lloyd added with a grin. His collections of bottle openers and shoe horns — all either unique in shape or touting advertising — started from auctions. When he’d bid on a certain tool, it often came with a box of other stuff. That’s also how he ended up with a collection of old cast iron handles from parlor stoves and cook stoves. On more than one occasion, Lloyd has come home with more than he bargained for. He shared one experience at a twoday farm auction near Canby. All of the tools were to be sold on the first day of the auction, but as the sunlight faded at the end of the day, the auctioneers still had one entire flatbed full of tools. They began selling choice of tools in each box, and then they went to selling choice of boxes. That’s when Lloyd started bidding. When he ended with the high bid, he said he’d take them all.
“There were 80-some boxes on the flatbed,” he said. “That was my biggest purchase.” Among the more unusual pieces he has added to the collection over the years is a series of handmade wrenches made from old, sometimes well-worn steel files. The wrenches, Clara speculates, were made to fit a specific purpose on the farm. “If I’d know what every wrench in here was used
for, I’d know something,” Lloyd said. Every once in a while he’ll come across something quite unusual in his search for tools — among them a razor blade sharpener and a device used for castrating male chickens. That particular instrument came with a note that read “capon maker.” Those pieces are displayed on the walls inside the building as well.
POWER LINES ARE HOT!
Coming in contact with overhead power lines can be deadly. Today’s farm machinery is bigger and taller, making the danger of working around electric lines greater than ever. Fall can be the most dangerous time of all.
Make sure all family members understand these rules:
•Utility lines are uninsulated. Don’t let your body become a direct link to the ground or the result could be fatal. •Know the clearance height of all farm equipment. To be safe, keep all objects at least 10 feet away from overhead lines. •NEVER attempt to raise or move a power line. If you’re operating equipment that touches a line, stay where you are and have someone call the utility. •If you must leave the equipment, jump as far as you can so that no part of your body touches the equipment and the ground at the same time.

Three generations, a century of memories Original house, 1920s-era barn still part of Huisman farm By Julie Buntjer jbuntjer@dglobe.com ROCK RAPIDS, Iowa — Judy Huisman grew up as one of four girls in her family, though with her love for the outdoors, she was the one to help her dad with the farm work. She drove a tractor during hot summer days of hay baling and helped load corn during harvest. All of that experience came in handy when she married a northwest Iowa farm boy and settled on his family’s farm in the northwest quarter of Section 23, Midland Township, in Lyon County. Today, Huisman is celebrating the farm’s 100-year history — something her late husband, Russel, would be proud of. Prior to his death in April 2009, he’d asked Judy to keep track of the date the farm was settled by his grandfather, Weert Huisman, so it could be honored as a Century Farm when the time came. This year was the year, and at the Iowa State
Fair in August, Judy was on hand to accept the certificate on behalf of the Huisman Century Farm. This land, located along the highway south of Ellsworth, was settled in March 1916 by Weert, his wife, Peterika, and their

his daughter, Anita. Anita was one of a dozen children born to KW and his wife, Anna, on the rural Rock Rapids farm. There were seven boys and five girls, although one of the sons died as a toddler. “We always had plenty
to do,” recalled Anita, adding that the kids entertained themselves by swimming in the creek in the pasture during the summertime and then skating on the frozen creek during the winter months. “We had a pony we

Agweek’s Today’s Farm the lawn — with the all-manual rotary push mower. “I helped shock oats, too,” Anita said. While she has many memories of the farm work, Anita also recalls living in the farmhouse — the original portion of which still stands today at more than 100 years old. The house had two bedrooms upstairs — one room for her brothers, and one room for she and her sisters. “There was no heat up there,” Anita said. “We had plenty of covers.” Anita’s dad continued to farm the land until his death in 1953 at the age of 60. At that time, Anna became the owner of the land and her son, Russel, took over farming. “In 1972, Russel bought (the farm) from his mother,” shared Judy. That same year, he bought his first brand new tractor — a Massey Ferguson 185. Judy still has the tractor today, and uses it every once in a while. She also has a smaller Massey Ferguson — a 105 — that has a loader. “Basically, now all I need a tractor for is to scoop snow or if trees come down,” she said. “I have a brother-inlaw who’s very kind and does a lot of the snow scooping for me.” Though the farm is rather quiet these days — there’s a bunch of farm cats and a dog to help keep the critters away — the Huisman farm was filled with the sounds of livestock at one time. KW and Anna had filled the barn, built in 1924, with milking stanchions and horse stalls. When Russel and Judy took over, they used the barn for a farrow to finish
happened to be touching the neighbor’s fence that was electrified. “I dropped that fence in a hurry.” Judy also recalled wet years on the farm and the challenges it created with either planting or harvest. Through it all, she and Russel worked side by side — and that’s what she has enjoyed most about seeing this farm reach 100 years of continuous family ownership. “Usually we were there together,” she said. “(Reaching century farm) meant a lot to him. Having it in the family that long tells you that they’re pretty dedicated.” Though no one seems to know what brought Weert Huisman to northwest Iowa, he put down roots that have survived the trials and tribulations of farm life. “We should have taken notes and written down stories along the way,” said Judy. As for the future of this family farm, Judy intends for it to remain in the family. “I plan to live here until I can’t do it anymore,” she said. Judy continues to work for Ellsworth Public School, where she has office duties and teaches one class. Son Kendall resides in Ontario, Calif., with his wife, Christa, and teaches middle school math, K-8 computer and is the head softball coach for a school district there.

swine operation, and also had stock cows in the pasture. For a time, the couple also had sheep. “They’re just stupid,” Judy said with a laugh. The couple marketed the last of their pigs in 2000, and a year later sold the stock cows. Russel continued to farm until 2004, and then custom-farmed for two years before the couple opted to rent out the farmland. Today, the farmland is rented by one of Russel’s relatives, while Judy has called the farmstead home for the past 34 years. Though she didn’t spend her childhood on the Huisman farm, she’s logged many memories of the time she’s spent there with Russel and their son, Kendall. The memories are of farm life — of planting and harvest and everything in between. “When you have a creek pasture, everytime it rains you have to go fix fence,” she said, recalling one story in particular. “I was in my flip-flops and the fence was in the water. I asked Russel if he shut the (electric) fence off, and he said yes. “I took my flip-flops off and stepped in and I got shocked,” she said, laughing about it now, although it was no laughing matter at the time. As it turned out, her husband had unplugged the electric for the fence, but the fencing that was down in the water

FIXING A SHORT WALLET shortages could have developed to the point where producers struggle to meet all their payments. By documenting recent history in agriculture, the current cash shortages are explained quickly. This is how these shortages have developed in southwest Minnesota farming practices. MIKE
DIERKS Minnesota West Farm Business Management
We have experienced higher and higher land costs. There have been improvements made in most machinery and equipment lines. Producers have had to pay increased production costs every year for the same amount of inputs. Many have acclimated to a higher lifestyle cost with health care costs skyrocketing and income taxes increasing. This half of the equation means a lot more money is leaving the wallet of American farmers. The second half of the equation is commodity prices have been cut more than half in the last three years. Corn prices have dropped from average prices of $6.49 to $2.86, soybeans from $15.64 to $9.12. Cattle, hog and milk prices dropped more than 100 percent in the past 24 months. Add these items all up and most producers cannot meet all the required payments owed for inputs, payments and management costs on their farm. So the million dollar question is, how can
this be fixed? A producer could refinance his short-term obligations and pay them over time. This solution is called refinancing debts, and it works well for the short term. Sometimes the problem with this solution is it requires too much money later on and then producers cannot catch up or survive. I like to compare this to a snowball rolling down a hill. Another solution is to become more efficient. Several years ago, most producers hit the biggest inefficient items and knocked them out with a sledgehammer when prices dropped. Last year, everyone took their hammer out and fine-tuned some of the wrinkles and smaller dents in their cash flow to meet all of the demands of their farm when prices dropped even further. Now, producers are down to the ball peen hammer where they are looking for 100 ways to save a penny and smooth out this year’s smallest dents and scratches in their cash flows as commodity prices continue to drop. This won’t be an easy task because input costs have been dropping in price, but current grain prices have already dropped farther than the input prices have dropped for

The Klaassen siblings received paper certificates and a commemorative metal sign, sponsored by Iowa Farm Bureau. “We enjoyed a little fair food, too, but it was a terribly hot day so we were glad the building where the ceremony took place was air conditioned,” recalled Beverly. Receiving the Century Farm designation has given the Klaassens a chance to reflect on the role farmers play, both in the tri-state area and beyond. “Farmers feed the world, they always say,” laughed Beverly. “We were always relieved when the harvest was done and there hadn’t been a snowstorm yet. “Now it’s nearly time to combine the soybeans and we’re hoping it won’t keep raining. “You can only control so much, and really, we’re not in control at all; it’s entirely up to Mother Nature as to what you get.”

WORTHINGTON — I was told this by a retired farmer this summer at Farm Fest. “Mike — A producer cannot pay bills with equity, they need cash.” Cash has always been the leading way to indicate if you have a business of success or a business heading toward demise. Cash is not the only indicator for success or failure in a farming business. For example, if a farm has 320 acres of land paid for, there is plenty of equity to help finance a short wallet. You could also have machinery paid for, or mostly paid for, and have a sizable amount of equity in machinery and equipment to help finance a short wallet. You might have outside investments or rainy day funds saved up that can help finance a short wallet. Have you noticed the theme seems to be a short wallet? When cash corn prices are in the high 2’s and soybeans in the low 9’s, there will be a short wallet for almost every farm producer this fall. When I say short wallet, what I am really saying is there is not enough cash income for the year to pay the whole farm expenses for the same time frame. General acceptable accounting practices call this negative working capital, and it sure looks like most farms will have a negative working capital this winter. Commodity prices will need to rally significantly into harvest if we are going to see financial improvements in the agriculture segment. People call my office and ask how these

ONE AMAZING MAZE
Edgerton family carves state, county outlines into their 6-acre cornfield well. “My dad cut about half of it this year,” said Seth. “He enjoys helping. It’s his equipment we use to cut it.” This year, it took about three and a half hours to cut the maze. That’s a 70 percent decrease since the first maze four years ago. The planning of it, too, has decreased by about the same amount, resulting in 10 hours of development time this year as opposed to close to 40 hours the first time around. “We’ve gotten better at it over the years,” Seth explained. “We’ve benefitted from our own experience. We have a lot better handle on the steps it takes, and we’ve gotten more comfortable navigating through the really weird design on the screen.” Originally approached with the idea for the maze by people at Southwest Minnesota Christian School, the planners of the Pumpkin Festival,
Seth was happy to lend a hand to the annual community event. “I’m always happy to help the school in any way I can,” revealed Seth. “They gave me the background I needed to get started with my education. The festival is a lot of work, and the maze is just part of it. The greater benefit is to the community for awareness and visibility for the school. “I don’t like to back down from a challenge,” continued Seth. “I’m not usually artistic in nature, so it’s a fun challenge to figure out.” The corn maze will be open to the public throughout October. The Pumpkin Festival, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 1, takes place at and around Southwest Minnesota Christian High School in Edgerton. Hayrides out to the corn maze will be available throughout the day.

By Gretchen O’Donnell Daily Globe EDGERTON — Four years ago, Seth Spronk was given a challenge that he could not pass up. He not only met that challenge but, for four years in a row, has continued to meet — and improve on — that task. “It’s a unique intellectual challenge,” said Spronk of the corn maze he has now cut into the corner of his uncle’s field four times. “I’m using production-grade agriculture software to map the maze. It’s not set up for artistic mapping.” But where the software may be lacking, Spronk’s will was more than enough to accomplish the task. The maze, cut into the shape of Minnesota complete with the state’s 87 counties, covers six acres. It is nestled in the corner of a field belonging to Leon Spronk, Seth’s uncle. Leon is the official maintainer of the maze from its cutting in July to its moment to shine — that being the Rock River Pumpkin Festival on Oct. 1. “Leon maintains the maze with his lawn mower,” explained Seth. “The mower does a neat job of tidying it up. We need to keep it neat so we don’t create a weed problem for years to come.” The maze really is a family project. Seth donates both planning and cutting time, Leon donates land and maintenance and Seth’s dad, Randy, gives his equipment and time as

What direction will 2017 farmlands rents go?
Should they go up? Landlord expenses increase as property taxes increase, and they want to pass this cost increase onto the farmer and increase the rental rate. Another example might be where there has been a long-term lease in place where the rental rate has not changed for many years. This rate might be
considered low today and due for an increase.
Should they go down? Farmers have experienced decreasing corn and soybean prices since record high prices in 2012 for corn and 2013 for soybeans. Current prices offered for 2017 corn and beans are below what farmers sold their grain for in 2007, when rents were $125 per acre. Average production budgets for 2017 indicate losses for farmers if rents are above $100 per acre. With the rents shown in the table in 2015 averaging $217 per acre, going down to $100 per acre would be a more than 50 percent reduction in average rents. So, you could make an argument for all three scenarios. However, looking at the economics, using a corn yield of 180 bushels per acre and a price of $3.25 per bushel
— and a soybean yield of 50 bushels per acre and $9 per bushel — income would be $585 per acre for corn and $450 per acre for soybeans. With average costs projected to be $555 for corn and $290 for soybeans before rent and labor, this leaves $30 per acre for corn and $160 per acre for soybeans to be shared between the landlord as rent and the farmer as income. This would be an average of $90 per acre to be shared. I projected a 7 percent
decline in rental rates from 2016 to 2017 for figures listed in Table 1. But from earlier examples, 2017 farmland
rates could go down by more than 50 percent or increase from 2016 rates depending on the individual situation. It

Landlord property taxes continue to increase while schools pass referendums that also increase taxes. If rents stay the same, a landlord’s income will go down if taxes increase. If taxes are not increasing, revenues to landlords will remain constant, when they have grown accustomed to significant increases since 2007.

Should farmland rents stay the same?
DAVE

WORTHINGTON — Each year I put together tables listing actual farmland rental rates by county from Adult Farm Management records. Unfortunately, farmers and landlords are starting to negotiate 2017 farmland rental rates and the last actual numbers available are for 2015, so I am forced to estimate figures for 2016 and 2017. When I did this last year I used an estimate of a 5 percent decline, and the actual figure came in at a 5.3 percent decline statewide. For 2016, I heard many times that rents were down $20 to $25 per acre, although some rents went up and some remained the same. In the table shown here, I estimated a 10 percent decline from 2015 to 2016. But what direction should 2017 farmland rental rates go? How do I determine an estimate for 2017 farmland rental rates?

FAQ’S SURROUND THE VETERINARY FEED DIRECTIVE will commence Jan. 1. Beginning this date, a producer will not be able to buy or feed a diet containing medically important human drugs without a valid VFD. What is the reason for the VFD? There is concern among the medical community about antibiotic resistance and why this is occurring. The VFD is agriculture’s and Food and Drug Administration’s response to this. Beginning Jan. 1, drugs important in human medicine and fed to livestock will no longer be available for purchase without a VFD form. How will the VFD work?

map/maze, the places (counties) pertaining to the trivia. The day starts with the Pumpkin Run, a walk/ run event, at 8 a.m. The course runs through the city. At 11 a.m., teams of kids (four members per team) in grades 5-8 can participate in the Amazing Pumpkin Race, a spin-off on the Amazing Race, with designated things to do or find for each team. Pre registration is necessary. From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., hayrides will be available to take people to a pumpkin patch as well as the corn maze. A farmers market and indoor vendor fair also run during that time. Various carnival games will be available during the festival hours, including Plinko, a duck pond, a climbing wall, inflatables, cow milking, train rides, outdoor Jenga, face painting and pumpkin art.

Maze opening coincides with pumpkin festival The Rock River Pumpkin Festival is looking forward to its eighth year. Begun as an extension of Ag Day at Southwest Minnesota Christian High School in Edgerton, the festival has become a much-loved local event. “It’s a fun thing to do and promote our school,” said Denise DeKam, office manager at the school. “It’s just fun working with our former alumni, using their skills and expertise. Seth Spronk has done a wonderful job meeting the challenge of the corn maze.” The maze includes some Minnesota trivia questions. People can answer the questions and then locate within the
veterinarian must develop a valid Veterinary Client-Patient Relationship with the livestock producer. This is to ensure the veterinarian is familiar with the health history and management of the livestock facility. Second, if a health issue arises in the animals, the veterinarian will issue a Veterinary Feed Directive form to the manufacturer or supplier of the feed. The manufacturer may be a feed mill or
the livestock producer (if the feed is manufactured on the farm). The VFD form is only valid for six months. What must be done with the VFD? The VFD needs to be kept by all parties involved (the veterinarian, livestock producer and feed manufacturer or supplier). All VFD records must be maintained for a period of two years. Are all drugs used in cattle production important in human medicine? Some drugs in cattle diets may be used in human medicine (such as chlortetracycline, oxytetracycline, tylosin, sulfas, etc.) and will
require a VFD form. Ionophore drugs fed to cattle will not require a VFD because they are not used in human medicine. Are there other restrictions? There are a lot of details to the VFD, but two restrictions come to mind. First, a veterinarian will not be able to prescribe extralabel use of a drug. Second, use of humanly important drugs to enhance animal performance, such as average daily gain or feed efficiency, is prohibited. What are the benefits of the VFD? The livestock industry has a long history of providing food to the consumer that is safe, nutritious and
produced in a sustainable manner. The VFD is a documentable trail of the safe use of antibiotics in the U.S. But, there is potentially another longer-term benefit. The VFD may help open trade with countries that previously have cited concerns about drug use in livestock production. Where can I learn more about the VFD?

ORANGE CITY, Iowa — The clock is ticking as the livestock industry prepares to implement the Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD). Despite a lot of correspondence by numerous entities, there are still people who are unfamiliar with the VFD. This article attempts to get at some basic questions. Who is affected by the VFD? The VFD affects all meat animal, dairy, fish and honeybee producers. Meat animals would include cattle of all ages, swine, sheep, goats, poultry, rabbits and other specialty meat animals. When does the VFD go into effect? The VFD

Should soil health test results be used when determining fertilizer needs?
Soil health tests can give a snapshot of soil characteristics not typically measured by standard testing procedures, and they can be used to help demonstrate contrasts in management practices. LIZABETH STAHL, University of Minnesota Extension It is then important to determine how much fertilizer is needed to
Jim’s Market
meet crop nutrient needs at different soil test levels. This is called calibration. The University of Minnesota has conducted extensive correlation and calibration research across Minnesota in developing fertilizer guidelines, using standard soil testing procedures and extractants, and this research continues. Little to no correlation and calibration research has been done with the procedures and extractants utilized by nonstandard tests like the Haney Test in Minnesota. It is also important to note that soil test results from a lab may include fertilizer recommendations that are not based on correlation and calibration research conducted in Minnesota and that recommendations listed as a “University” recommendation may not be from the University
LIZABETH
STAHL U of M Extension
of Minnesota. This is important as soil type, soil pH, precipitation, temperature, soil organic matter, cropping rotation and soil parent material influence soil nutrient availability and ultimately fertilizer application needs. Avoid the risk of overand under-application of nutrients: To help compare results from the Haney Test to standard soil testing procedures, trials were conducted at the Southwest Research and Outreach Center in Lamberton in 2015, supported by the Minnesota Soybean Research and Promotion Council and NCR-SARE. When samples were collected in the spring, the Haney Test indicated much lower amounts of

acre to +35 lbs/acre, when using the Haney test versus standard soil testing procedures with U of M fertility guidelines. Bottom Line: Soil health tests can give a snapshot of soil characteristics not typically measured by standard testing procedures, and they can be used to help demonstrate contrasts in management practices. When determining fertilizer needs for your crop, however, it is recommended to stick with soil testing procedures and fertilizer guidelines that have been correlated and calibrated through many years of research in your own state. For more details, check out the “University of Minnesota Extension Fertility Guidelines for Field Crops” publication and other crops-related information on the University of Minnesota Extension Crops website at: z.umn.edu/crops.

available nitrogen than standard soil testing procedures (37 to 97 lbs/acre less). These lower amounts with the Haney Test would trigger a higher nitrogen application rate than when using standard testing procedures and University of Minnesota fertility guidelines. This trial demonstrates some of the risks involved (higher input costs, potential negative environmental impacts) with using non-standard soil testing procedures and recommendations. In evaluations across 12 on-farm sites in 2016 (supported by the Minnesota Agricultural Fertilizer Research and Education Council), recommended potassium rates were 90 to 205 lbs/ acre greater with the Haney Test compared to standard soil testing procedures with U of M fertility guidelines. Differences were also found for phosphorus, ranging from -85 lbs/

procedures will typically result in different estimates of nutrient availability. A soil test is considered “correlated” when lower yield and plant growth can be predicted at lower soil test values, and higher yield and plant growth can be predicted at higher soil test values.
001408895r1
WORTHINGTON — Soil health and how to improve and maintain it has been a hot topic in agriculture recently. Soil tests, including the Haney Test, have been developed to help measure indicators of soil health such as microbial activity, the amount of carbon in the soil and nutrient availability. As more farmers use soil health tests, the question arises if results from these tests can or should be used in determining fertilizer needs for crops like corn in Minnesota. The importance of correlation and calibration: To help address this question, it is critical to recognize the importance of correlation and calibration in developing fertilizer recommendations. When soil is sent to a laboratory for analysis, specific procedures and extractants are used to determine the estimated availability of nutrients. Different extracts and
