Letter: Walz afraid to vote for what’s right To the Editor: The old practices are still flourishing in our nation’s capitol. The voters last November said “no” to deficit spending but our elected flock of chickens sneaked their favorite earmarks through again. It is just like an addiction to these chickens — “We will stop deficit spending but we will do it tomorrow. First we have to please our lobbyists.”

U.S. Representative Tim Walz, D-Minn., said he didn’t like the spending bill but he voted for it anyway. He said he had no choice.

What do you mean you had no choice? First choice, you could have voted no. Second choice, you could have gone half-way with the Bush tax cuts, as you could have gone one year without the unemployment benefits, and dropped the benefits to half the second year, to give the people receiving the benefits some incentive to look for work. I don’t think American taxpayers are going to mind paying taxes if you would find the courage to pay on our debt and then be accountable.

You sneak things into big tax bills all the time.

Sort of like you don’t want your constituents to know how irresponsible you really are.

OPINION

Someone sneaked funding into the bill for ethanol and biodiesel again. Get the picture people, we have been pouring money down the ethanol drain for 10 years or more. It still can’t stand on its merits. But no, it continues to drag our country down. As long as the country buys ethanol’s groceries what Tim Walz incentive do they have to learn how to make a profit? The United States hasn’t run out of crude oil. The problem is the environmentalists own the chickens.

So Tim, you didn’t have a choice? I don’t think so. I think you are chicken to vote for what is right. If you go against party lines you lose support and funding come election time, right? Why don’t you run for reelection on your voting record like our representatives used to. Man-up, Tim. A leader is a person who does what is right even when no one is looking. A follower is a simple person. He or she can’t think for themselves. They just do what everyone does — you know, like chickens do.

Paul B. Hoffman New Ulm, Minn.

Commentary: Krugman flunks food and history Paul Krugman is a big deal: Princeton professor, New York Times columnist and Nobel laureate (2008). Krugman wrote recently about the “food crisis, the second one to hit the world in the last three years.”

His key statement: “what really stands out is the extent to which severe weather events have disrupted agricultural production. And these severe weather events are exactly the kind of thing we’d expect to see as rising concentrations of greenhouse gases change our climate — which means that the current food prices surge may be just beginning.”

What warming? The puny 0.2 degrees Celsius we’ve had since 1940?

On food, we’re currently diverting a huge proportion of the world’s crops to biofuels. We’ve created an artificial shortage of the world’s already-scarce cropland. Two years ago, the high food prices were driven by a very high price for oil, so our corn ethanol plants were running full-tilt. World food prices nearly doubled.

This year, the high food prices are driven by a combination of high fuel prices, and diverse bad weather in the United States, Russia, Australia and China, to name a few weather-challenged regions.

The farming gods are always fickle. They bring drought, floods, bitter winters, heatstroke summers, hailstorms and untimely frosts — at their whim.

When humans started to farm, their most important gods were always the “earth mother” who watches over the crops, and a consort god in charge of rainfall. The farming villages held festivals in their honor, made sacrifices, and pleaded for good crops.

Often they pled in vain.

Talking about severe weather, how about Cahokia, the only city ever built by the American Indians? It was founded on corn, in Illinois, the heart of today’s Corn Belt. And it grew to perhaps as large as 50,000 people. After A.D. 1200, Cahokia suffered two 30year droughts in 60 years. The city disappeared. The people who could walked away.

In 2200 B.C., a “little ice age” hit the whole world. A belt of irrigated agricultures around the world failed simultaneously — and didn’t recover for about 300 years. Southern Greece, the eastern Mediterranean, Egypt, and what’s now Iraq and Syria all collapsed.

Many thousands died. Nomad shepherds took over the parched land.

The first Chinese dynasty collapsed then in the Yellow River Valley due to drought — and “little ice ages” have since brought down five more-recent Chinese dynasties. The last to fall was the fabled Kublai Khan during the Little Ice Age. Meanwhile, in the Netherlands, the Little Ice Age brought three massive sea floods within a few decades, each of which drowned 100,000 people. The See AVERY, pg. 5A

Guebert: Mother Hubbard’s empty CCC cupboard

OPINION

Krugman strikes out

crops to the government as repayment.

As such, the usual method of building government stocks, forfeitures, has gone the way of $2 corn.

Policy, too, plays an enormous role. Congress has used recent farm bills to lower loan rates as a way to limit government’s role and taxpayer cost in U.S. agriculture. As the rates fell, short-term CCC loans became less attractive. Fewer loans means fewer possible defaults and, in turn, fewer government stocks.

THE LAND, MARCH 11, 2011

That policy, of course, limits government costs but it also limits government assistance should calamity strike. Given the nation’s bottom-of-thebarrel “free” stocks, those held by the market, and not even one paper sack of groceries in the CCC pantry, how fast and far would food prices climb if just the threat of drought appeared anytime in the next six months?

Right. So, let’s be wise as we begin to examine the key elements of the 2012 farm bill. Let’s use these extraordinarily good times to build a stronger, smarter farm and food policy that, at the very least, begins to restock our empty national cupboard.

After that we can look at, say, elevated solar ranches in Arizona.

Most of these dunes date from the Little Ice Age, not from the Medieval Warming.

The peer-reviewed journal Natural Hazards in June 2005, published a special issue on extreme weather events over the last century. It found there is less severe weather as the world warms, with no increase in thunderstorms, hailstorms, tornados, blizzards, Asian monsoons, heat waves or floods.

Blogger Jo Nova reports that a recent re-examination of global tropical storms and hurricanes found no trend in the past 30 years. Russia frequently has droughts and Australia has a cycle of flooding.

Krugman is trying to frighten us about what’s likely the finest weather humanity has ever seen. Obviously, we’re still getting heat waves, blizzards and some hurricanes — but fewer of them. Nevertheless, you are three times as likely to read about the severe weather we do get — because the media are seeking it out.

Bethany Reformed Church Women offer tempting treats Cookbook Corner

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent God bless church women. So many cookbooks come through our offices here at The Land, and a good many of them are the patient result of long hours of work by the women of many a church.

Rural or city, large or small, it doesn’t matter; church women get the job done. They’ll sell you something for a good cause, but they’ll give you good value in return and you won’t regret your donation.

Their cookbooks attest to the spirit of cooperation, friendship and worship these women have long brought to the table, both figuratively and literally.

The Bethany Reformed Church Women of Clara City, Minn., are now offering a second printing of their popular cookbook for the bargain price of $15 including shipping. In it you will find many basic recipes for the starter cook (or for those of us whose minds are slipping) as well as ethnic classics, modern cuisine and lots and lots of sweets. (Did I mention church women also love to bake?)

Here are a few tempting recipes from their collection.

Add the bright flavors and colors of fresh melons to your winter table with Marinated Melon Balls and really knock their tastebuds off. Bathed in a luscious home-

made syrup infused with anise and lemon, these tasty tidbits will make you rethink fruit salad.

Marinated Melon Balls Mrs. Calvin Grussing 3/4 cup sugar 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon anise seed 1 cup water 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 small cantaloupes 1 large honeydew Cook sugar, water, lemon juice, anise seed and salt over medium heat for 15 minutes or until mixture reaches a light syrup consistency. Chill thoroughly in the refrigerator.

Prepare the melon balls or cut melons into bitesized chunks. Strain chilled syrup to remove the anise seeds. Pour syrup over melon balls. Refrigerate; stir occasionally. Makes 12 to 14 servings.

■ In high school, my best friend’s mother baked specialty cakes as a sideline, and we got to eat all we wanted of her bulletproof white frosting smeared liberally on graham crackers. I’m not sure what she did to make her frosting so addictive, but this recipe comes close. I made a batch and used it up right away on cookies for a potluck, so I can’t attest to how long it lasts, but the Johnson crew gave it four out of four wholehearted “yums.” And the hockey team seemed to enjoy them.

Frosting That Keeps Katie Asche 4 egg whites 1 cup Crisco 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 cups powdered sugar With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites, Crisco and salt. Add powdered sugar gradually and beat.

The longer you beat it, the better it gets. Put into jars and refrigerate. This keeps at least six months.

It is not so terribly sweet.

■ Yes, it’s past Valentine’s Day, but you can serve Valentine Cabbage all year long. Red cabbage makes a heavenly match with diced apples and onions and savory seasonings. Pair it with pork chops and potatoes and you’ve got a restaurant-style meal for very little money.

Valentine Cabbage Mrs. Garbrand Peters 1 head of red cabbage 3/4 cup water 1/2 cup vinegar 1 apple 1/2 cup sugar 1 small onion 1/2 cup butter, melted 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/8 teaspoon cloves Shred the cabbage. Peel, core and slice the apple.

Dice the onion. Simmer cabbage, water, vinegar, apple, onion and sugar together 20 to 30 minutes in a covered pan. Drain the excess liquid. Add butter and seasoning. Serves 6.

■ A variation on the traditional French silk, Almond Silk Pie gets a little extra pizzazz (and a light crunch) with the addition of toasted almonds. You can unleash your creative side with the garnishing.

So much to try, so little space Combine the butter and sugar in a bowl. Beat until blended. Turn mixer to high speed; add the chocolate, vanilla and one egg. Beat for 5 minutes. Add the other egg and beat 5 minutes more or until light and fluffy.

Stir in all but 1 teaspoon almonds. Pour into pie crust.

Dot with whipped cream and garnish with the remaining almonds.

■ Those who love everything pumpkin and those who love everything chocolate are going to meet joyfully in the middle with the wonderfully named Choco-Dot Pumpkin Cake. Make sure you use regular canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, which is preseasoned. Any kind of plain, hearty cereal flakes will work, but bran flakes pump up the nutrition.

Choco-Dot Pumpkin Cake Eunice Johnson 2 cups flour, sifted 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1/4 teaspoon allspice 1/4 teaspoon ginger 2 cups sugar 4 eggs 2 cups pumpkin 1 cup vegetable oil 1 1/2 cups 40 percent bran flakes 1 (6-ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips 1 cup chopped nuts Confectioners’ sugar glaze (optional) Sift together the first nine ingredients and set aside. Beat the eggs foamy and add pumpkin, oil and bran flakes. Mix well and add the dry ingredients, mixing again only until combined. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts.

Sprinkle evenly in an ungreased 10x4-inch tube pan. Bake at 350 F for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Cool completely before removing from the pan. Drizzle with confectioners’ sugar glaze if desired.

Is it a good idea to plant a garden this year?

Yes, with the economy the way it is, you certainly will help with the vegetables you grow in the garden.

Plant tomatoes toward the end of May. Plant vine crops after June 1. It’s even good to plant some of the cool weather vegetables in September. Radishes, string beans, lettuce, peas, beets, etc. can be planted.

When can I prune back my newly planted trees?

It is best to wait for several years before pruning. Remember the first two to three years just the root system grows.

Don’t prune any oak trees until after April 1. Pruning before can cause oak wilt in some cases.

By Hank Wessels this year’s seed catalogs. There also is a newer variety which can be planted in containers, and will winter over with some protection. We plan on planting two of these this spring and will keep you informed of their progress. These need to have at least a 5 percent acidic soil for better results. I’d be open to any blueberry growing advice from experienced gardeners.

Please give me some tips on growing asparagus.

Once you have planted asparagus, and even the first year of growth, as soon as the snow has melted, apply some crystal softener salt or pickling salt on these plants.

Put a second application of salt on the asparagus bed, perhaps the first week of April, or before any new growth is appearing.

For new gardeners, the asparagus seeds can be planted at about a 1/2-inch depth.

Every year as my tulips and daffodils are emerging, the rabbits eat off the emerging leaves. What can I do to solve this problem?

Putting chicken wire around these is the best cure.

Hopefully once the growth is taller the rabbits will leave these alone.

Last year my tea roses didn’t blossom, yet there were plenty of canes growing. What is the problem?

You have mainly all suckers and these will not flower. You should dig these up and replace them with new plants. Another way of checking these extra canes, is that chances are they are taller with a different shade of green.

As for the roses which have no suckers, these can be pruned back once the leaves begin to appear.

Forgiveness is a deep and powerful thing for the soul

<< MILKER’S MESSAGE >> “Where Farm and Family Meet”

Marni’s mother and Aunt Ramona spend most of the movie trying to outdo one another while Marni does her best to expose her arch nemesis Joanna as the bully who nearly destroyed her life.

While the credits were still rolling, my teenage daughter Melanie walked in the front door completely frustrated by a classmate who betrayed her girlfriends that night in an effort to impress a guy.

Melanie went to bed disgusted. Mike shook his head, “Women!”

For the record, women aren’t the only ones who can be pros at recordkeeping wrongs and holding generational grudges. The effects of unforgiveness and harbored resentments have destroyed and isolated men and women alike.

Been there, done that. I’ve wasted more time than I care to recount replaying in my mind how someone hurt me, how I’d respond next time, how I’m justified in being angry, and so on and so forth. Bitterness is destructive and the one it hurts most is not the snide and cruel offender, but the offended one who refuses to forgive.

When I think of what it means to forgive, faith hero Corrie ten Boom comes to mind. During World War II Corrie and her family secretly housed Jews in their home. When the Nazis discovered their activities, Corrie and her sister Betsie were sent to Ravensbruck, a German death camp.

Within that camp Corrie experienced gut-wrenching horrors, including watching her sister die. After the war she returned to Germany to share her story and testify to God’s amazing grace.

In her book, “Tramp for the Lord”, she wrote, “It was 1947, and I’d come from Holland to defeated Germany with the message that God forgives.” She told her listeners that when they confess their sins “God casts them into the deepest ocean, gone forever.

And even though I cannot find a Scripture for it, I believe God then places a sign out there that says,

the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart.”

With a silent prayer to Jesus for His help to raise her hand, she did, woodenly, mechanically, and a miracle took place.

“The current started in my shoulder, raced down my arm, sprang into our joined hands. And then this healing warmth seemed to flood my whole being, bringing tears to my eyes,” Corrie said. “I told him, ‘I forgive you, brother! With all my heart!’”

Offering forgiveness is not always easy, but it is the most freeing, burden-lifting, relationship-healing choice we can make. Jay Adams said, “When a person forgives another, he is promising to do three things about the intended wrongdoing: not to use it against the wrongdoer in the future; not to talk about it to others; and not to dwell on it himself.”

That’s wise advice for high school bullies, grumpy old men and yes, women, too.

THE LAND, MARCH 11, 2011

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Discussing the agronomics of high-yield corn, Jeff Coulter, University of Minnesota Extension corn agronomist, quickly gets to the point: “It all starts with selecting the best hybrids.”

Sharing five years of yield data (2006-10) at the Southwest Research and Outreach Center near Lamberton, Minn., — see Table 1 at right — he pointed out the yearly yield difference between the highest yielding hybrid and the lowest yielding hybrid ranged from 73 bushels to 109 bushels per acre. He simply said, “yield differences among hybrids are huge.”

“Few management decisions are as important as those made concerning planting,” Coulter said emphasizing that hybrid selection is the critical starting point.

He also presented five years of yield data comparing early versus mid- versus full-season hybrids. As expected, there was more yield with longer maturity, but there also was wetter corn with full-season hybrids.

Comparing as many as 171 hybrids per year, yields averaged 186 bu./acre for the 95- to 96-day hybrids; 191 bu./acre for 99- to 100-day maturity; 202 bu./acre for 103- to 104-day maturity and 207 bu./acre for 105- to 106-day hybrids. Grain moisture at harvest for these maturities was 17.1 percent for 95- to 96day corn; 18.l percent for 99- to 100-day corn; 19.4 percent for 103- to 104-day hybrids; and 20.5 percent for 105- to 106-day hybrids.

Late-April/early May is best Do you get better yields with early planting? Well, yes, up to a point. Planting at 34,000 seeds per acre in trials at both Lamberton and Waseca and with average planting dates of April 28, May 12 and May 26, Coulter said the data consistently proves that planting from April 21 to May 6 maximized yield, but a delay until late-May shows at least a 15-percent yield loss.

Combining both Lamberton and Waseca trials, corn averaged 208 bu./acre when planted late-April; 204 bu./acre when planted mid-May; and 177 bu./acre when planted late-May. At Lamberton, the

Twin-row corn tough sell HYBRIDS, from pg. 13A • On average, yield maximized at 34,300 ppa; • Yield was 7 and 14 percent higher respectively with the 101- and 105-day hybrids compared to the 95-day hybrid.

Twin-rows to the rescue? Just barely, based on limited 2010 Minnesota trials at Welcome and Wilmont. The testing compared 22-inch versus 30-inch rows and at three seeding rates: 33,300 seeds/acre; 38,000 seeds/acre; and 43,000 seeds/acre. The hybrid was DKC48-37, a 98-day triple stack.

Results: • On average, no yield difference between row widths.

• At 43,000 seeds/acre, twin-rows yielded 3 percent more (231 bu. average versus 225 bu.) but at 33,000 and 38,000 seeds/acre twin-rows showed no yield advantage regardless of row width.

Coulter concluded, “twin-row interest is out there because growers keep looking at more ways to crank extra yield.

But based on results I’ve seen, twinrow corn is a tough sell. You just don’t see consistent benefits.” Plus it requires special planting equipment.

Starting with the “best” hybrids is No. 1 in his scenario on the agronomics of going for top yields. His “score card” for evaluating various yield factors:

• 59 percent: Hybrid selection (best vs. worst) • 13 percent: Uniform emergence and growth • 6 percent: 97- to 98-day hybrids versus longer-season hybrids • 2 percent: Planting late-April versus mid-May • 2 percent: Uniform in-row plant spacing • 1 percent: Final stand of 34,000 versus 30,000 plants/acre • 1 percent: Narrow rows versus 30inch rows A starting point for selecting “best hybrids” is the 2010 Minnesota Variety Trials booklet available through county Extension offices or www.maes.umn.edu. Also FIRST trials across various Minnesota locations provide yield and agronomic information.

Some Minnesota Corn Grower Association counties also conduct yield trials. Obviously, not all seed companies participate in plot trials so perhaps a better strategy is doing your own yield checks.

Do this and the only bias to contend with is your own.

Best pest management complicated by ‘refuge in the bag’ Referring to what he calls “Potter philosophy,” he questions if genetic diversity is being bottlenecked because of the tremendous amount of research and marketing effort that the seed industry is putting into developing an ever-expanding number of specific trait technologies. “Traits are the protective

umbrella needed in view of the costs of crop production but perhaps we need even more research on genetics to build yield,” Potter said.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer University of Minnesota Extension Pathologist Bruce Potter admitted the challenges of “best” practices for European corn borer and corn rootworm are getting more complicated as more seed companies gear up for “refuge in the bag” marketing.

“Probably the easiest way to meet the requirements is to buy all your seed from the same company. But how much fun is that?”

Reviewing corn rootworm and corn borer refuge issues, Potter shared the following.

• Intent was Traits are the protective to ensure Bt susceptible umbrella needed in individuals. view of the costs of • Strategies crop production but for corn rootperhaps we need even worm and more research on European corn genetics to build yield. borer should be different.

— Bruce Potter • Compliance and logistic problems get challenging.

• Refuge in a bag, individual and stacked traits, have different refuge requirements.

• Refuge concept is rapidly becoming unmanageable, especially between companies.

To preserve the benefits and insect protection of Bt corn technologies, a grower must have an Insect Resistance Management plan that includes a refuge.

Also plant your refuge first before planting any insectprotected corn. This ensures the minimum refuge size requirement is met should adverse weather alter your planting schedule and strategy. An IRM plan is mandated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. A useful tool is the Insect Resistance Management Calculator available through the National Corn Growers Association.

Potential new bugs in the Minnesota environment include an aphid-related bug called trochanter mealybug which apparently loves soybean roots and tends to show up with above-ground symptoms resembling potassium deficiency. Also be on the lookout for what looks like a giant Asian beetle except it’s more likely a brown marmorated stink bug, native to Asia but confirmed in Minnesota last year. These stinky creatures like to enter houses in the fall.

Potter also mentioned corn blotch leafminer, another newcomer with a four- to six-week life cycle and three or more generations per year.

Soybean aphids were minimal in most areas of Minnesota last year but unpredictable from season to season. Growers have choices of seed-applied insecticides and aphid-resistant varieties, but Potter said growers wonder about what strategy is best.

“And so do we. We can’t do comparison checks on everything in the marketplace. And when it comes to seed treatments we have such a bewildering array of ‘insurance policies’, or are these products looking for a market?”

The world is the Haukos Brothers’ marketplace

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer When Willard Haukos started selling tractors, combines and used farm equipment from his farm in the 1950s, little did he realize that farmers from across the globe would one day come knocking on his door.

In the early 1980s he switched to combine heads and planters exclusively, figuring there would always be a market for such good used equipment. Willard Haukos died this past year, but his grandson Jerad Huepenbecker, along with Jerad’s father, Wayne, and uncles Kim and Jan Haukos, continue to operate Haukos Bros. Inc. Known as national and international leaders in corn planter and corn head equipment exchanges, their headquarters is located on the north edge of Glencoe, Minn.

“We have a unique business,” said the 31-year-old Huepenbecker.

“Planters and combine headers are the only products we handle. We buy and sell planters and heads all across America and internationally. We’re quite a bit different from your local John Deere or Case IH dealer who mostly sells new equipment, and

Jerad Huepenbecker led Haukos Bros. to the internet and a worldwide marketplace. mostly sells to local customers.”

Diversity is the key word when describing the Haukos Bros. operation.

Some headers and planters are sold “as is” meaning without any repairs.

But they also recondition certain pieces simply because they need some fixing to make them operate the way they’re supposed to operate.

“It just depends on how a guy wants to buy a planter. We’ve got the mechanics to do a complete overhaul. Or the

buyer knows what he’s getting and attends to the repairs after he gets his planter,” Huepenbecker said.

Green machines Scanning the “parking lot” at Haukos, green paint seems to predominate. “Yes, we handle more Deere than any other brand,” he said, “but that’s just a matter of market penetration.

We’re not brand specific. We sell whatever the market calls for.”

When The Land visited in early February, John Deere, White, Case IH and Kinze planters and corn heads were lined up across the equipment lot. In fact, flex heads and corn heads are the bigger business for the firm, which moves about twice as many heads than the roughly 150 planters they market

each year.

“Summer through early fall we sell tons of heads,” said Huepenbecker, who five years ago established a presence on the world wide web for Haukos Bros, giving them international access.

“When I started, we mostly did trade publication advertising,” he said. “I decided to make a website and get us on the major farm websites. We quickly noted that most every phone call or e-mail was generated from my internet campaign.” Once they were online for everyone to see, foreign buyers started e-mailing and calling.

“It started slowly with just a few overseas inquiries. Then I started to develop relationships with these buyers which led to even more business. At that point, we knew we had something so I decided to take a two-week business trip to Ukraine to meet with local buyers and sellers.”

That trip proved to be productive and pushed the export business of Haukos Bros. to a whole new level.

“Last year everything came together,” Huepenbecker said. “I had the relationships, the equipment and the knowledge to sell these customers.

Plus the value of the dollar dropped while crop prices rose. This meant my foreign buyers had money to spend and American products were looking cheaper and cheaper.”

Green paint dominates the Haukos Bros. yard, but “We’re not brand specific,” according to Jerad Huepenbecker. “We sell whatever the market calls for.”

Dick Hagen

HAUKOS, from pg. 16A How far does used equipment travel from this central Minnesota family business? American farmers still dominate their marketing, but the international market keeps growing, especially in Ukraine.

“My biggest overseas market is Ukraine with Canada second and Russia third. China has become a customer but they are not yet a major market for us,” Huepenbecker said.

What size equipment?

In foreign markets 8-row and 16-row planters make up the majority of overseas sales, but get into the bigger farming regions of Ukraine and 24-row planters are becoming big items too.

He’s even sold a 36-row unit into Ukraine.

Row width changes overseas.

Huepenbecker said that when selling into foreign countries, 70 centimeters (27.5 inches) is the standard row width. “So this means lots of repositioning of planter units before we box them up for overseas shipment.”

Every planter gets knocked down into component parts before fitting into shipping containers. “We disassemble each planter. Depending upon the size of the planters, we can get up to six planters per container. Then it’s up to the buyer at the other end to reassemble each unit.”

Haukos Bros. is well-known throughout the machinery world so sourcing used planters and corn heads isn’t an issue. Huepenbecker said, “most of the major implement dealers in the U.S. know us. We get lots of phone calls quizzing us on what particular planters are worth, what are we willing to pay for their planters, etc.

“We’re wholesale driven so most implement dealers know that if they want to clean out some planter or corn header inventory we’re a logical outlet.

And of course some dealers just don’t want used green equipment sitting on their lot if they’re a Case IH dealer, for example.

“Plus we’re moving planters 12 months out of the year so if a dealer gets a June trade-in he’ll often call us because used planters just don’t sell very well in June. We’re always looking for planters because we’re always selling. The same with corn heads and flex heads; we take them any time of the year because with overseas markets, buyers are always in the marketplace.”

Online sales Marketing reconditioned planters and corn heads means each piece of equipment has to meet certain specifications. Haukos Bros. employs talented mechanics capable of rebuilding any planter. “Everything sold overseas is sold via the internet so we never see those buyers. But like American farmers, they too want every bit of information about each piece of equipment so we do lots of photo listings,” Huepenbecker said.

Today there is a premium market for good equipment regardless the age, regardless the color. Although grateful for the expanding overseas market, Huepenbecker said they could do well just on U.S. sales currently.

As you might expect, online sales are now the majority of all transactions of Haukos Bros. Farm magazines and machinery publications were once the vehicle for initiating sales but because the machinery business moves so fast these days, the bulk of their sales today are via the internet. Some farmers, however, still drive to Glencoe for onsite inspections of equipment.

The market is strong, especially in January and February for planters.

“I’m getting lots of calls from farmers across America and from overseas. So we’re constantly sourcing equipment via e-mail and telephone, plus whatever other device puts us in contact with dealers and/or farmers wanting to move some equipment.”

The firm also provides trucking to buyers across America and coordinates container shipments to overseas buyers.

The reality is that in this new era of world marketing, a planter put to work on a Minnesota farm two to five years ago, this spring could be planting in another state, or even Russia. As the world keeps shrinking more crop farmers across America and other countries are using American-made corn heads, flex heads and planters.

“It’s a remarkable business,” Huepenbecker said. “I graduated in finance from the University of St. Thomas, St. Paul. Little did I realize that I would be involved in marketing ag equipment across America and overseas. It’s exciting. I marvel at the productivity of farmers.”

Ten Minnesota governors defended our state, nation Marshall arrived in Minnesota in 1849 via Illinois and Wisconsin. He began his political career in the first territorial legislature. A few years later he chaired the convention that founded the Republican Party.

Marshall, who fought in both the Sioux War and the Civil War, was commissioned a lieutenant colonel of the 7th Regiment of Minnesota Volunteers in 1862. He commanded the battalion at relief at Birch Coulee and Wood Lake during the Sioux War while another future governor, Colonel Stephen Miller (1864-66), was serving with the 1st Minnesota in the Army of the Potomac.

In 1863, Marshall commanded the regiment in Gen. Sibley’s expedition to the upper Missouri to drive the Sioux further west. Then in October he joined Union forces and was commissioned colonel a month later. Marshall saw action on several fronts, the major battle being Nashville in December 1864. He was commissioned brevet

brigadier general for his service in that battle. A few months later he was wounded in the advance to Spanish Fort and was mustered out of the 7th Regiment at Fort Snelling in August 1865.

Marshall easily won the governor’s elections in 1865 and 1867. During his post-war administration, the population doubled to 350,000 and railroad mileage quadrupled. Marshall successfully led in enacting black suffrage for Minnesota. He declared that the “free young state of Minnesota” was “now altogether free.”

After retiring from politics, Marshall exercised his abilities as a banker and as a railroad and land commissioner.

He moved to California in 1894 and died there two years later.

Ridgley, Birch Coulee and Wood Lake, the four major battles of the Sioux War. At the conclusion of the battles, he received a miliWilliam Marshall tary commission to try the Sioux involved in the war.

In recognition of his distinguished service, Sibley was appointed brigadier general and placed in command of the Minnesota military district. In 1865, President Johnson appointed him to the civil/military commission to negotiate treaties with the Sioux and other tribes.

Sibley devoted nearly six decades of his life to the expansion and settlement of the northwestern frontier. His post-military responsibilities included the presidency of several organizations, including the University of Minnesota Board of Regents, Board of Indian Commissioners and the Minnesota Historical Society.

William R. Marshall’s terms immediately followed the wars. Born in Missouri in 1825, he was Minnesota’s only southern-born governor, but that fact didn’t deter him from fighting in the Union Army against the Confederates.

By CAROLYN VAN LOH The Land Correspondent Minnesotans had enjoyed statehood less than three years when the Civil War broke out in 1861. Two ex-governors served in the army, and eight Civil War veterans Henry Sibley later became governors.

This article features Henry H. Sibley, Minnesota’s first governor, and William R. Marshall, who served from 1866-70. Sibley devoted his military service to the Sioux War in Minnesota, but Marshall served in both the Civil War and the Sioux War. Born in Detroit in 1811, Sibley arrived in Minnesota in 1834 to head up the American Fur Co. at Mendota.

While representing Wisconsin in Congress from 1849-53, he influenced Congress to declare a part of Wisconsin and land west of the Mississippi River as Minnesota Territory. He also served in Minnesota’s territorial legislature as a Democrat.

Sibley played a leading role in writing Minnesota’s constitution and was elected the state’s first governor in 1858. He chose not to run for re-election in 1860, and two years later his successor, Gov. Ramsey, appointed him military colonel to suppress the Sioux uprising.

Ag Day, Teach Ag Campaign team up Goal is to bring awareness to national shortage of agricultural educators Ag Day and the Teach Ag Campaign announced that they are combining forces to celebrate two important things — American agriculture and the need for more agricultural educators.

National Ag Day on March 15 is

about recognizing and celebrating the abundance provided by agriculture in the United States. One key to that abundance has been a steady supply of people choosing careers in the agriculture industry. Many people learned

about those career opportunities in an agriculture program, whether at the high school level or beyond.

Agricultural educators not only expose students to opportunities in agriculture, they give those students the practical and academic skills they need to be successful — whether they’re going into the production, technology or science areas of ag.

However, agriculture programs are struggling to find qualified educators to fill open positions. National Teach Ag Day was started as a way for agricultural educators and advocates to celebrate the career of agricultural education and encourage students to consider a career in the field. This year, National Teach Ag day will fall on March 24, the week after Ag Day. “We are excited about our alliance with Ag Day,” said Ellen Thompson, National Teach Ag Campaign coordinator. “It’s a natural fit. Agricultural educators are in the classroom every day teaching students about the amazing industry that is

agriculture. Teach Ag Day is about promoting our own amazing career and helping more students choose to become agricultural educators.”

The National Teach Ag Campaign is an initiative to bring attention to the need for more agricultural educators in the United States. It provides resources for those who wish to help promote the profession of agricultural education as well as for those who are interested in learning more about a career in agricultural education. It is led by the National Association of Agricultural Educators. The campaign is sponsored by Landmark Nurseries and the CHS Foundation as a special project of the National FFA Foundation, and also by Delmar Cengage Learning.

He indicated his department isn’t facing any major changes from a program perspective on an annual basis. “We’re continuing forward with the good programs that have been part of our service to Minnesota agriculture,” and that includes the Green Acres program which was started 40 years ago to tax high-value agriculture land near urban sprawl areas at agricultural rates rather than at fair market value.

<< MILKER’S MESSAGE >> “Where Farm and Family Meet”

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer “Tuned in” to the political challenges of the new Legislative biennium, Dave Frederickson, Minnesota’s new commissioner of agriculture, said, “I Dave Frederickson think we’ll come out of this with a good program for agriculture. We’ll make cuts as needed. It could be difficult at times but people across the state are telling all of us in government, ‘Come on, let’s work together and get this budget issue taken care of.’”

Interviewed via cell phone Feb. 18 as he traveled to a “home-grown foods” event at Staples, Frederickson said he was pleased with the governor’s budget recommendation pertaining to agriculture. “He’s very supportive of agriculture and that’s reflective in his budget message to the Legislature.”

Frederickson said he already is working closely with Senate ag Chairman Doug Magnus and House ag Chairman Rod Hamilton. “Both are friends of mine since years back. We’ll work together just fine.”

The Minnesota Department of Agriculture operates on an $83 million annual budget, of which 54 percent comes from the state’s general fund. Frederickson noted a significant portion of that fund supports special functions such as county fair associations, the Agricultural Utilization Research Institute, as well as the ethanol support program dating back to the mid-1990s when farmers/organizers were struggling to finance the construction of the Minnesota ethanol industry.

“The proposal of the governor is to pay off those remaining payments to several of those early ethanol projects and that will be the end of these special producer payments. To help finance the start-up of the ethanol program, the legislature granted a 20cents-per-gallon subsidy payment. In a recent biennium session that was cut to 13 cents but now it is the governor’s proposal to pay off that remaining seven-cent portion. That amounts to about $15 million. The governor would like to get that cleaned up this year.

“The department has a $30 million baseline for ethanol and agricultural growth and research. So this leaves $15 million for a variety of new projects including the NexGen Board and other innovations turning ag products into energy. It also includes livestock investment grants. Going forward into the 201314 biennium we’d have about $10 million for each of those years to continue the

t. Urho’s Day celebrations, which are held in communiS ties in the United States and Finland, are scandalous affairs that should be avoided by patriots and Christians alike. Although Urho — allegedly the only Lutheran saint — is said to be celebrated in Finland, Minn., by a modest cooking contest in a church, anthropologists say they do not yet know what transpires in the spruce bogs east of the northeastern Minnesota village on March 16, Urho’s feast day.

Reports from Menahga, a town somewhat more accessible to civilized Minnesotans, say that at sunrise on March 16 women and children, clothed in green and purple, chant from frozen lakeshores “Heinasirkka, Heinasirkka, Menetaalta Hiiteen” while facing the sun. Those familiar with the ancient Finnish tongue say this probably means “grasshopper, grasshopper, go away.”

Of course, when the grasshoppers hear this they promptly leave.

These are the very words Urho, a lowly grape harvester, bellowed to chase the ravaging grasshoppers from the preglacial vineyards of the land now known as Finland. Finns know this, they claim, because the story was discovered carved in runes on the thighbones of a now extinct mammoth bear. Urho, they say, expelled the insects solely with the power of his voice. His voice was strengthened by foods savored by Finns to this day — curdled milk and fish head stew. Urho also skewered some of the bugs with a tool later adapted by ice fishermen for spearing northern pike.

Anyway, reports from the far north say that men, women and innocent children celebrate these dubious events and the unlikely sainthood of a lowly proto-Lutheran working man. When the colorfully clad women and children chant, men clothed in green come out of the snowy forest kicking and hopping like wounded grasshoppers. Then they remove their green and put on royal purple costumes. This changing of clothes is referred to as the changing of the guard; these unpatriotic colors are the national colors of Finland.

Following the Finnish fashion show it is unclear what happens next in Menahga, or other villages. There may be a round of golf on an icy lake, consumption of purple beer, planting of donuts, possibly a parade, a talent show and the coronation of village royalty. If you are curious about these rites but want to keep your children safe, there is a St. Urho shrine, just outside of Menahga, on U.S. Highway 71.

Grain Outlook Livestock Angles Corn finds a Exploding into comfortable range new high ground As we end February, the livestock markets continue their explosive advances into new high ground.

Both the cattle and hog futures contracts have advanced into new all-time highs led by the speculative buying of the hedge and index funds. This buying is based on the idea that the supply of cattle and hogs will not meet the demand for meat in the future and the fear of advancing inflation, not the fundamental facts that effect these markets.

The cattle market posted new JOE TEALE all-time highs in the last full Broker week in February as cash reached Great Plains Commodity $113 per hundredweight live Afton basis the Midwest and $184/cwt. dressed basis the Midwest. This action has led everyone to believe that numbers are tight and demand is strong.

However, the reason packers can aggressively purchase cattle is the fact that the futures allow them to acquire the inventory and immediately hedge that inventory on the futures market and lock-in their margin. This is accomplished because of the excessive premiums provided by the futures market.

If one were to look at the recent U.S. Department of Agriculture Cattle on Feed Report released Feb. 18, the number of cattle on feed was 5 percent greater than a year ago while placements were 4 percent greater than the previous year and marketing was only 1 percent greater than last year. Couple this with the USDA Cold Storage Report that indicated

On Feb. 25, the U.S. Department of Agriculture held its Outlook Forum, where they bring together many of the “movers and shakers” around agriculture.

The outlook was bullish on grain prices, yet concern was voiced regarding livestock production. It was reported that the subject of the unrest in northern Africa and the Middle East was not discussed.

The events coming from this region had the effect of “throwing gasoline on the fire” of price volatility.

The USDA Outlook Forum foreTOM NEHER casts corn plantings at 92 million AgStar VP Agribusiness acres, trend yield of 161.7 bushels & Grain Specialist per acre, a crop of 13.73 billion Rochester bushels. The USDA sees a 50-million bushel increase in corn used to produce ethanol, to 5.0 billion bushels. This would lead to a carryover of 865 million bushels and stocks-to- use ratio of 6.4 percent. The average onfarm cash price is estimated to be $5.60 per bushel.

Soybean plantings were estimated at 78 million acres, including acres that would result from “double cropping.” The USDA is estimating a crop of 3.345 billion bushels and a small cut in usage. This would lead to a carryover of 160 million bushels and stocks-to-use ratio of 4.8 percent. The average onfarm cash price is estimated to be $13 per bushel.

The USDA estimated that 57 million acres would be planted to wheat and a crop of 2.080 billion bushels. They expect exports to be down 150 million bushels and a carryover of 663 million bushels. The

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

The following market analysis is for the week ending March 4.

CORN — Corn was unpredictable this week, at one point trading near limit lower as traders bought soybeans and sold corn to unwind existing positions, before finding support and cutting that loss in half, all in the same day.

The U.S. dollar retreated lower throughout the week which helped limit grain losses, but couldn’t give grains a significant boost either.

Corn’s action this week may be sig- PHYLLIS NYSTROM naling it has the bullish news facCountry Hedging tored in for the time being, and has St. Paul found a comfortable range prior to the U.S. Department of Agriculture reports on March 31. Now may be the time to make sure you have downside protection in place. May corn was up 6 cents on the week at $7.28 after trading a range from $7.07 to $7.42. The new crop December contract closed up 7 3/4 cents at $6.09 1/2 this week. On the continuous corn chart this week, we saw our highest price since July 2008.

Export sales were impressive at 42.5 million bushels and bringing total commitments to 6 percent above last year when the USDA is forecasting a 1.8 percent increase in total exports. New crop sales were 4.8 million bushels, pushing that total to 60 million bushels. Last year we only had 24 million bushels of new crop sales on the books. Weekly ethanol production fell for the fifth straight week as strengthening corn prices cut into margins. We are still on track to use close to 5 billion bushels of corn See NYSTROM, pg. 2B

Snug carryout to keep beans in fight for acres NYSTROM, from pg. 1B for ethanol production this year. South Korea suspended import tariffs on corn and meal last weekend even as they battle foot-and-mouth disease.

Events in the Middle East and North Africa are mostly unchanged from last week. Libyan President Moammar Gadhafi is holding onto his office with the use of force, protests continue in Bahrain, and the March 11 “Day of Rage” is still scheduled in Saudi Arabia. What’s new this week is that the Arab League is considering a peace plan for Libya outlined by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Libya says no help is needed. There were reports out of Saudi Arabia late in the week that non-violent protests were staged demanding the release of Shiite prisoners. The biggest fear in this area is that Saudi Arabian oil supplies are disrupted, as they are the largest OPEC producer. If prices of oil continue to rise, there is concern that it would slow economic growth, and in turn slow demand for commodities.

For February, corn was up 9.6 percent, beans were 3.9 percent lower, Minneapolis wheat was down 5 percent, cotton was up 21.8 percent, coffee gained 11 percent, crude oil jumped

5.2 percent, gasoline increased 9.6 percent, hogs were up 1.8 percent and cattle were 3.6 percent higher. The leading gainer year-to-date has been cotton with a 41.7 percent increase as of the end of February.

OUTLOOK: With funds still eager to add to their long positions, there are a few cautionary signs: feed wheat is working into feed rations in South Korea, ethanol production this week was down again and Argentine corn production estimates are growing. Supporting the uptrend is the bullish attitude fed by tight carryout forecasts, unconfirmed talk that China may cut import tariffs, and good export sales. Spring planting weather, exports and the March 31 prospective planting report are good items to monitor for future direction. The trend higher is still intact with a May range of $6.67 to $7.50 possible until the month-end USDA reports. Is anyone pining for the 40-cent price range we saw in 2003? Yes, in 2003 the range in nearby corn was only 40 cents. So far this year, the range in the nearby contract in corn has been $1.37 1/2 per bushel.

SOYBEANS — New month, new money. U.S. beans are competitive into China versus South American origin as

China bought U.S. beans this week for the 2010-11 crop year. There also was trade talk that China had purchased two to four cargoes of U.S. beans off the Pacific Northwest. Reports surfaced this week that China is considering rescinding price controls and/or cutting export tariffs on edible oils. This would pave the way for processors to increase their crush. At least one trade group is predicting an 8-percent decline in China’s soybean acres this year as acres go to corn, cotton and wheat.

Informa Economics this week upped their forecasts for South American soybean production. They are pegging Brazil’s crop at a record 71.4 million metric tons versus the USDA 68.5 mmt figure and 2.1 mmt higher than their last estimate. For Argentina, Informa is at 52 mmt, up from their last estimate of 49 mmt and USDA’s 49.5 mmt projection. Argentina’s bean harvest will begin in a couple of weeks while Brazil’s harvest should be around 25 percent complete.

Export sales this week were better than expected at 13.3 million bushels, with nearly all of the old crop sales to China. Here’s an interesting tidbit: China’s population on Dec. 31 was 1.341 billion, up from 1.335 billion at the end of 2009, according to the National Bureau of Statistics in China. Old crop sales are maintaining the 10 percent increase over last year. New crop sales were good at 10.5 million bushels. We have 262 million bushels worth of 201112 soybeans booked versus only 32 million on the books last year.

Sharply higher crude oil and heating oil markets lent support to the soy complex as well. Higher energy prices encourage biodiesel use, especially in Europe where the majority of vehicles run on diesel. In other Argentine news, the government raided 48 trading offices to search for evidence that they avoided paying taxes on exports. The government subsequently suspended three major grain companies from the important export registry list.

OUTLOOK: Soybeans made up for last week’s losses as Argentine dock workers blocked access to two ports and crush plants in their strike for higher wages, rain delayed Brazilian bean harvest and export sales were decent. Meal deliveries against the March contract began this week and were heavier than anticipated, indicating that delivery is better than making new sales. The snug carryout number projection will keep beans in the fight for acres this spring and support any setbacks. Based on today’s numbers, soybeans are not as profitable to plant versus corn; but cotton looks even better. This week, May beans were 39 cents higher at $14.14 and the November contract was 31 1/2 cents higher at $13.61 per bushel. In May soybeans, first support lies at $13.50 and resistance is at $14.75 per bushel.

Fundamentally, things have not changed; we will still have tight supply and demand factors. Yet, the events in northern Africa and the Middle East have reminded us of the fact that we are in a global market and that the threat of a disruption in the oil supply impacts the world economy.

I was watching the news the other night about the conflict in Libya and my telephone rang. It was my brother and he asked me what I thought about the Libyan leader killing his own people with mercenaries and air attacks.

I paused for a moment, feeling a vague sense of dread and I asked him if this was the birth of a “Baby Black

Swan.” He then replied, “We will have to see if this one grows up.”

Making marketing decisions in this volatile environment can become emotionally challenging. Using the margin management approach to making marketing decisions rather than trying to guess where prices will trade; helps to take some of the emotion out of executing marketing plans.

I can still hear my Grandpa telling me that “If you are going to do this year, what you should have done last year; you will most likely be wrong.” He was never a man who was afraid of “marching to the beat of a different drummer.”

When we think back to when we should have sold last year’s crop to receive the highest price; let us remember this grain angle as we sell next year’s crop.

Gould said the markets are saying we will continue to have volatility in the Class III futures markets. It’s been quite volatile the last week or so, he said, and producers he talks to are concerned about the downside risk so, in addition to conventional risk management strategies, they have been “going whole hog” in the LGM program.

As of Feb. 25, 15 million hundredweight of milk was insured, Gould said, raising the LGM total so far to 34.5 million, a little less than 2 percent of 2010’s total production.

The LGM is “like a bundled option,” Gould said, “where you set a floor on your income-over-feed costs.

You’re not locking in anything, you can take advantage of positive price movements and this is a federal insurance program available through licensed insurance brokers who sell crop insurance.”

It’s also a self-financing program, Gould said, except the USDA pays the administrative overhead and the subsidies. “Basically USDA is taking the risk,” he said, “because the premiums are set such that in the long run the payouts will equal the payins.” For more information, Google “Understanding Dairy Markets,” which will take you to Gould’s website, and then click the “LGM Dairy” tab.

Hog futures carrying large premiums The interesting fact was the recent USDA Cold Storage Report indicating that the amount of pork in cold storage increased last month. So if we are exporting more pork then there must be a decline in domestic consumption if we are to believe that numbers of hogs are on the decline. The fact that pork cutouts have moved above $90/cwt. and the movement of pork product has declined indicates a reluctance by the domestic retailer that there is some resistance to the higher prices by the public.

As with cattle futures, the hog futures are carrying extremely large premiums. These premiums are based on the same idea that the hog herd is in decline and will not be enough to meet the demand of an expanding export market. These premiums provide the producers an opportunity to protect their spring and summer inventories against any adverse price movement.

Considering the deteriorating economic conditions, and the speculation in the marketplace based solely on supply concerns, there is one element that has been totally forgotten. That is the fact that demand will dictate the price.

Fear is currently driving the markets and these types of markets never last. The old adage of “the cure for high prices is high prices” will eventually prevail.

TEALE, from pg. 1B an increase in beef supplies over the previous month and the supply seems to be adequate to meet the declining demand.

With the beef cutout over $170/cwt., the movement of boxed beef continues to decline, indicating a reluctance by the retailers to purchase the higher priced beef. This would be an indication that the consumer is not very interested in the higher cost at the retail level.

Export business has improved but not nearly enough to offset the decline in domestic consumption as evidenced by the increase in cooler stocks. Therefore, producers should be completely aware that demand will dictate the future price direction in the market and should consider some protection against any adverse price movement.

The hog market has followed a similar pattern that the cattle have followed.

Speculative buying on the idea that export business will deplete the numbers of hogs available for domestic consumption. This is based to some degree on the announcement that South Korea will drop their import tariffs on pork and once again allow U.S. pork to be imported into the country.

Slominski: Debate dairy’s future, don’t try to fix the past DAIRYLINE, from pg. 3B Nonfat dry milk totaled 117 million pounds, down 17.4 percent from December, and 9.2 percent below a year ago.

American cheese, at 363 million pounds, was down 2.3 percent from December, but 4.4 percent above a year ago and total cheese output hit 883 million pounds, down 2.7 percent from December, but 5 percent above a year ago.

The National Milk Producers Federation responded to a recent study of its “Foundation for the Future” dairy policy proposal by Informa Economics that was commissioned by the International Dairy Foods Association.

The study showed that, had the FFTF been in place in the past decade, its Dairy Market Stabilization Program would have been triggered four times, with deductions in effect 18 months and dairy farmer payment withholdings would have totaled about $626 million.

The NMPF’s Chris Galen said that “the opposite is true if you really do good economic analysis.” He said the NMPF examined what Informa did “and what they didn’t do, and the key thing that they didn’t do was to estimate how dairy farmers would respond if in fact our DMSP were in place.”

“The DMSP cuts farmer prices when margins are compressed,” Galen said, “and if that happens and the money withheld from their checks is used to help stimulate demand, that actually increases farm prices ultimately because it spurs a recovery in markets and margins and improves the economic situation for farmers much more quickly.”

The problem with Informa’s study, Galen said, is that “it made no attempt to estimate how producers would

have altered their milk output. The NMPF believes that ultimately the DMSP would have increased total farm revenue by about $3 billion just in 2009 alone.”

Galen said they want people to “look carefully at how this program is designed to work.” Had it been applied in 2009 when prices and margins were terrible, the DMSP would have actually spurred a recovery more quickly, he argued.

The FFTF is still a work in progress as many details need to be worked out, and Galen pointed out that once Congress gets a hold of it there’ll be negotiations on a variety of things but “with respect to the DMSP, we think that we have a very good vehicle to lightly apply the brakes to milk production, only as needed.”

The NMPF’s report has been corroborated by independent analysis, he said. The University of Missouri agrees FFTF is a net positive for producer revenue.

■ The age-old debate about supply management in the dairy industry continues. One side of it was voiced by the International Dairy Foods Association’s Jerry Slominski, beginning with one of his favorite sayings: “If you don’t know where you are going, any road will do.”

He said that’s something to consider as debate begins on the next farm bill and said that “instead of trying to fix the past, we should be debating where we want our dairy industry to go because different policies will take us in different directions.”

He cited the Bain Report which was commissioned two years ago by the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy, funded by dairy producers, to study the future of the dairy industry. The report was seen by many processors and producers as a breakthrough that could finally build consensus in the industry, Slominski said.

The Bain report studied world markets and reported

that demand for dairy products was growing rapidly in developing countries. It then looked at international competition, Slominski said, and found they were “incapable of fully taking advantage of the opportunity for growth, but that the U.S. dairy industry was ready and fully capable of doing so.”

“The Bain report basically said that we could attempt to isolate our domestic market, an option called Fortress USA,” Slominski said, “or we could become a consistent exporter by adopting policies that would allow us to take advantage of those growing international opportunities.”

“Choosing Fortress USA means that we would adopt government policies like supply management that attempt to control the price volatility that is the unavoidable result of competing in dairy markets,” he said, but “becoming a consistent exporter meant that we need to develop tools to help farmers manage the risk of price volatility.

“As we move into the debate over what policies to adopt in the next farm bill, some proposals seem to want to go down both paths at the same time,” he said. “But we can’t control price volatility with a government program and at the same time take full advantage of the opportunity to grow our industry. Saying it is temporary or emergency won’t change the road taken.”

The “IDFA believes the Bain report got it right by recommending that we go down the road that will allow our industry, producers and processors alike, to grow,” he said. “We have to choose which road we take.”

Speaking of exports; the Cooperatives Working Together program accepted two requests for export assistance this week from Darigold to sell 608,470 pounds of cheese to customers in Asia. The product will be delivered in April.

■ Dairy Profit Weekly editor Dave Natzke recently discussed some taste tests which showed that consumers preferred milk with “total solids” standards that matched California’s levels. This week he cited follow-up information indicating that raising national fluid milk standards might not be all “peaches and cream” to other areas of the industry.

One of the recommendations coming from the USDA’s Dairy Industry Advisory Committee is that more study is needed regarding higher “total solids” standards in fluid milk, Natzke said, and if those standards are implemented, processors nationwide would be required to fortify fluid milk with nonfat dry milk solids to raise protein and mineral levels.

Also, the DIAC approved a final report to U.S. Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack that offers 23 recommendations concerning dairy farm profitability. Details are posted at our website at www.dairyline.com.

The idea of using land rollers is somewhat novel to row-crop farmers, but alfalfa producers have been rolling fields for decades. Ground roller equipment sales have increased substantially in the past five years, with soybean producers as a major new customer.

To answer the question “When is the best time to roll soybeans?” University of Minnesota Extension carried out a three year (2008-10) research project with grant funding from the Minnesota Soybean Research & Promotion Council.

We found that, while the rollers were designed to push rocks back into the ground, they were being used for many other reasons and in fields with little to no rocks. Some purposes included residue breakdown, field leveling, managing corn root balls and decreasing operator fatigue by improving crop harvestability.

The research took place at 11 locations across western Minnesota over three growing seasons, and included multiple styles of land rollers. Our rolling treatments consisted of 1.) Pre-plant, 2.) Post-plant, 3.) 50-percent emergence, 4.) First trifoliate stage, 5.)

Third trifoliate, and 6.) No rolling.

Following the treatments, we collected data on residue decomposition, plant population, percent plant damage, seed protein, oil, moisture, test weight and yield.

No significant differences for plant populations, seed oil, protein, moisture or test weight were found.

Surprisingly, we did not find significant yield differences based on timing of treatments for each year of combined locations.

We did document significantly more plant damage with the third-trifoliate treatment in two of the four sites in 2010 but did not see yield consequences.

With good conditions, rolling can be done out to the third-trifoliate stage. Rolling at or after the third-trifoliate stage cannot be recommended.

If the field is subject to erosion, the best time for rolling is pre-plant or post-emergence. The easiest time and most common for farmers is immediately after planting. However, if conditions don’t allow, a producer could roll post-emergence with careful attention to conditions and temperatures.

We uncovered no yield advantage or disadvantage with this study, but certain conditions have potential

ety out-yielded the less-tolerant soybean. In the severe IDC area of this field, oats increased soybean yields on both varieties but there was little or no response from Soygreen.

“So it looks like IDC is a field-by-field issue, or if you are GPS equipped and your fields are mapped for IDC scores, then adding the commercial products can get by an ‘on-the-go’ situation,” Kaiser said.

However, until more consistent results can be documented, buying soybean varieties with the highest IDC tolerance scores is a better route.

New information on herbicide labels Dave Nicolai, U of M regional Extension educator, shared a new system of herbicide labels which now include a standardized system informing of the product’s mechanism of action.

A box labeled “Herbicide Group” is present near the top of the label. The number in the box is the MOA of the active ingredient bases on a system developed by the Weed Science Society of America.

Premixes containing more than one mode of action will have multiple numbers listed. A similar system is also used on labels of insecticides and fungicides.

“The intent is to reduce the likelihood of selecting herbicide-resistant weeds. If you are relying largely on herbicides for weed management, using herbicides with different MOAs is the primary method of managing resistance,” Nicolai said.

• A Group 2 herbicide would provide little benefit for waterhemp since most waterhemp is resistant to these herbicides.

• A Group 15 herbicide would provide little benefit for giant ragweed or other large-seeded broadleaves due to its poor activity on these weeds.

Kaiser and Nicolai spoke at the Feb. 16 annual meeting of the Renville County Corn-Soybean Growers Association.

THE LAND, MARCH 11, 2011

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Discussing iron-deficiency chlorosis trials, Dan Kaiser, University of Minnesota Extension soils specialist, said IDC was less an issue in 2010 soybean fields in Minnesota, perhaps because of moisture and soil temperatures producing less soil activity. “High bicarbonate levels trigger IDC symptoms,” he said.

There are various management options to control IDC issues. Kaiser listed these: • Decrease soil lime content • Drain the soil • Plant tolerant varieties • Fertilize with special iron treatments Or consider broadcast seeding oats just ahead of planting, or use commercial products such as Ferra-
