A lot of time has passed since Dean Harder, Anne Henkels, Kim Strege, Craig Jorgenson, David L. Olson and Scott Hislop were elected to lead Minnesota’s Future Farmers of America — 25 years to be exact.

FFA played a big part in these young leaders’ lives back then and still today.

In this issue, you will find the stories of Harder, Strege (Page 8A) and Henkels (Page 11A). The stories on Jorgenson, Olson and Hislop will be found in the April 22 issue of The Land.

President: Dean Harder

Dean Harder joined the Mountain Lake High School FFA chapter to open another avenue of livestock shows.

“Our family was big into showing livestock, had been showing in 4-H, and I wanted a way to get into more livestock shows. I got into FFA to show cattle and sheep. FFA presented that opportunity,” Harder said from his home office in Zionsville, Ind. Livestock shows may have lured Harder into FFA, but he soon learned he wanted to do so much more in the organization. A lot of that is credited to the organization at the local level.

“I got in on two different historic phases of our FFA chapter,”

he said. As a freshman, he was under the tutelage of Jim Crawford, legendary FFA adviser at Mountain Lake.

The following year Tom Appel came to the high school, “and he helped us understand that you can do anything in FFA. There was so much more than just livestock shows.

“I am indebted to both of them (Crawford and Appel),” Harder said. Appel is still the FFA adviser for the Mountain Lake-Butterfield-Odin FFA Chapter, and Harder could not say enough good about his high school adviser.

Commentary: If ‘no new nukes’ wind won’t keep us warm The air over northeastern Japan is slightly radioactive — not at dangerous levels for people, but an indicator that higher levels might come. The newspapers in Japan and here are talking earnestly about failures in pressure vessels and falsified safety reporting, as they should.

But now, a slightly hysterical Surgeon General of the United States is recommending that millions of U.S. residents buy iodide crystals to ward off potential thyroid cancer — from a nuclear event thousands of miles away. Four thousand people were on the site of the nuclear accident at Chernobyl in 1986; nine have died from thyroid cancer exposure.

Greenpeace, under a heading of “No New Nukes” is trumpeting that “There is no such thing as a ‘safe’ dose of radiation ... If a meltdown were to occur, the accident could kill and injure tens of thousands of people.” This is a two-subject statement: • Obviously we are all exposed to safe levels of radiation every day; and many of us owe our lives to the tumor-destroying blessing of directed medical radiation.

• There has never been a “meltdown” — the temperatures in a nuclear plant are about 550 F — the highest setting of your home oven.

Lost in the discussion is this simple reality: These nuclear plants withstood a 9.0 earthquake — even greater than their design strength — with no reactor problems. But the diesel generators that backed up the nukes’ electrical cooling systems were drowned by the tsunami. The huge wave knocked out the power grid for the entire region. Everybody agrees it is the water that’s boiled out of the spent waste pools that is the real radioactivity risk to the public — because the generators were knocked off line.

The New York Times says one of the diesel generators was in the basement of the reactor building — where the tsunami waters quickly drowned it. At another plant, the generators were behind an 18-foot seawall, and the tsunami was 21 feet high.

In 1990, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission identified diesel generator failure as one of the “most likely causes” of nuclear accidents from an external event. That report was cited in a 2004 statement by Japan’s Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, but apparently the folks at Tokyo Electric didn’t read it carefully. Now they face billions of dollars in losses to their reactors and billions more in lawsuit damages.

Instead of a few thousand dollars to ensure their diesel generators were up high enough to protect against a tsunami — like on the roof of the administration building.

There’s another lesson here, too — for the United States and for Greenpeace. It is dangerous to keep spent fuel rods sitting around the reactor site, even when they’re protected by circulating water. We

Commentary: RIM value not in dollars but clean water, wildlife useful tool for the local Soil and Water Conservation District and landowners to improve wildlife habitat and protect water and water quality.

When I first moved to Olivia, Minn., in 1979 the pheasant populations were next to zero due to massive losses of nesting habitat (grasslands/pastures) and winter cover (cattail wetlands). In 1985 the Conservation Reserve Program was created and in 1986 RIM was passed by the state legislature.

That was the start to the recovery of the pheasant populations in Renville County. Since then our farmers have responded to the call to help clean up our waterways and improve wildlife habitat.

Renville landowners have enrolled over 400 perpetual conservation easements, totaling nearly 16,000 acres of

RIM conservation easements are a vital part of that stewardship. If in the future these lands are needed to grow food and fiber they will be more productive than they would if we continued to farm them for immediate profit and short-sighted gain.

Back when Kim Kazemba was Kim Strege, FFA stood for Future Farmers of America.

Kazemba became one of those “future” farmers, and still makes her living that way, farming near Round Lake, Minn., and Watertown, S.D. As a Nicollet High School freshman in the early-1980s, it still wasn’t too common for girls to belong to FFA, but that didn’t stop Kim from taking that step.

“My dad (Howard) had been an ag teacher, though he quit teaching when I was a baby,” she said. “He still had an appreciation for agriculture and FFA.” Kazemba saw that her brother was enthusiastic about farming while in FFA, plus “there was also the opportu-

Robin Schwieger advised an active chapter at Nicollet High School back in those days, “he encouraged us ... he tried to give different experiences to the kids.”

Kazemba took full advantage of those opportunities by competing in meat judging, livestock judging, public speaking and job interviews. Then, of course, there were the leadership opportunities. With Schwieger’s encouragement, Kazemba worked her way through the chapter and district offices, and then set her sights on a state office.

“It was a goal I had hoped to achieve at that point,” she said. “Even if you don’t achieve, you benefit from going through the process.” Kazemba got that state

office on her first run, while a freshman at the University of Minnesota.

She believes that she is still the only state officer to come out of Nicollet High School.

Kazemba remembers that year as state officer as a whirlwind, but very rewarding. “I knew of some of them (fellow state officers) before we became a team, but didn’t really know them. You definitely get to know them that year as state officers.”

As a child she remembers not really being sure what she wanted to do or where she wanted to go to school, but FFA involvement changed all that. Visiting the U of M St. Paul campus during state FFA See KAZEMBA, pg. 11A

FFA 85-86: ‘FFA taught me to help other people’ with human behavior if the real world,” he said.

“I’ve got a variety of different tools I’ve used, and it’s something that can be replicated, it could be franchised, but I’m not into that.”

His career motivation comes from something he learned in his FFA days all those years ago. “FFA taught me to help other people get what they want; help them reduce their stress.”

The ideal client of The Harder Group is five to 10 years from retirement, owner of a business or senior executive of a business and married with children and probably adult children.

“I work with people, not necessarily the amount of money that they make.”

The Harder Group had been headquartered at Mountain Lake, but then about four years ago Dean and Jackie got the “nudge to move. We asked ourselves, did we want to be in Mountain Lake the rest of our life?”

Their oldest son, Andrew, now 18, suggested the family visit the short list of cities where the family would like to relocate.

The family decided to visit Indianapolis over Easter 2009, where there is a pocket of clients. “On the way home we decided that we weren’t moving; it See HARDER, pg. 11A

“In 1994, my dad needed a kidney, and I was a match, so I gave my dad a kidney,” Harder said. Don Harder, Dean’s father, was forced to quit farming and he said “Greg (older brother) was going back to school and that if I wanted to farm, I could.”

When he graduated from high school, the younger Harder didn’t think there’s ever be a chance to farm, since older brothers Greg and Phil were working with Don on the farm.

“Jackie and I talked it over and decided that we should come back to the farm,” he said. They moved back to Mountain Lake in 1995, and farmed until 1997 when Don Harder passed away. “We then left the farm, not knowing what I’d do. ... Going back to the farm was still a great decision. It gave me 2 1/2 years of time to spend with Dad.” Dean’s mother, Carol W. Harder, still lives in Mountain Lake.

Still, the younger Harder didn’t know what he would do, but he knew that he “didn’t want to work for someone.”

With that in mind, he got hooked up with Ron Harder, a shirttail relative and “mentor of mine.”

Ron Harder was in the insurance business “and I thought I’d give it a whirl.”

That “whirl” turned into a career for Dean Harder.

“By the way I was trained, I just love it (selling life insurance).”

In 2001, he developed an international practice of consulting with people on financial matters, and though he doesn’t like labels, he feels a “financial engineer” is a good label for what he does.

HARDER, from pg. 1A done there,” Harder said. “His department is the class to take in high school.”

Harder’s rise through FFA leadership started with Appel encouraging Harder to try new things. One such example as a high school junior, Harder was encouraged to participate in the district speaking contest. “I placed dead last,” he said. “That was humbling, but Tom took that as a way to encourage me.

He (Appel) would learn and he had a great discernment of peoples’ skills.”

He ran for and became district treasurer. Then, as a freshman at the University of Minnesota, Harder chose to run for a state office. “I don’t know what made me run for state office,” he said. “It could have been Tom Pierson who encouraged me to run; maybe it was Mary Buschette who encouraged me along the way.” Pierson was the president of the 1983-84 state officer team, while Buschette was reporter on the 1984-85 team.

“I did not get into FFA to be state president, but then I just started developing” that leadership drive, he said. Harder’s FFA leadership wasn’t over after his one year in the Minnesota FFA top office. “(National FFA President) Steve Meredith was at the state fair for five days, and I was able to spend a lot of time with him, then he encouraged me to run for national office.”

Only the second time that Harder attended the national FFA convention was as a national officer candidate, and it was a worthwhile trip, as he was chosen to serve as the central region vice president for 1986-87.

Being a national FFA officer offered Harder even more opportunities, ones he still fondly looks back on.

He remembers addressing the 100th Congress during a breakfast, “I remember not eating breakfast. ...

I was more nervous afterwards than I was before the speech.”

Having spent time at the state and national levels as an FFA officer, Harder said both offered “such unique opportunities,” but at the “state level you got to know students and advisers on a much more intimate level. ... it was much more impersonal as a national officer.”

After coming down from the high as national officer, Harder tried to meld back in to “normal” life.

“When you get done being a national officer, it’s like getting voted off and ‘OK, now what do I do?’ For a year you’re not in the real world.”

After completing his national FFA term, Harder returned to the U of M to graduate with an ag education degree and an ag economics minor. Putting that degree to work, Harder taught ag education at Marshall High School in the 1989-90 school year. He also got engaged to Jackie during that year.

He and Jackie did some soul-searching and sought to move back to the metro area. When word got out that Harder would be moving back to the Minneapolis area, he got a call from an FFA connection: Courage Center was looking for a development officer.

Dean and Jackie were content living in the metro area, but then family obligations came calling.

FFA ‘Challenge’: Connect with your local farmers

By KRISTIN KVENO The Land Correspondent The FFA, once known as the Future Farmers of America, has been in existence since 1928. It began as an organization for students, teachers and those in ag business to come together for agricultural education.

While there are over a half million students participating in FFA across all 50 states, the farming aspect is something that has changed over these past 83 years. In response, the FFA and Monsanto have developed a new program this year — the Chapter Challenge — to address the “need for more people to get involved in production agriculture,” said Aimee Cramer, FFA Foundation director of stewardship.

The Chapter Challenge is kicking off with a pilot program across seven states, including Minnesota and Iowa.

According to an FFA press release, the goal of the program is to “reach out to their community’s farmers, learn about their operations, engage them and bond them with FFA.”

A chance to win some money for the (LeRoyOstrander FFA) chapter and make connections with area farmers is all in a day’s work for these ambitious FFA’ers.

The Chapter Challenge involves having a farmer confirm a local chapter’s participation with the farmer either by calling the FFA Chapter Challenge hotline or registering the information on the FFA website. The top 125 chapters will receive $1,500 in FFA credits. Monsanto is providing $225,000 in incentives for winning FFA chapters.

The chapter with the most votes will win a trip to the 2011 FFA convention in Indianapolis for six students and one adviser.

Minnesota, Iowa and the other states were chosen in part because of their “strong relationship with state (FFA) staff,” Cramer said. While only seven states were selected this year the goal is to “significantly expand next year.”

It’s nothing new for the national organization to challenge its local chapters with friendly competition; FFA does an annual T-shirt contest where chapters receive a percentage of T-shirt sales. This challenge, however, gets chapters more involved in what’s going on in the fields and in the pastures of rural America.

One of those chapters up for the challenge is the LeRoy-Ostrander (Minn.)

FFA chapter, located south of Rochester near the Iowa border, and lead by adviser Tiffany Timm.

Her chapter decided to try a somewhat “tech-savvy” way to get farmers to participate in the program — they will be doing a “direct e-mail approach,” Timm said. While they would like to visit each farm in person, they have found that it is “hard to do face-to-face,” especially with planting season just around the corner. The LeRoy-Ostrander FFA chapter is hoping to use their contacts with alumni to not only reconnect with those who have served in the chapter, but also have the students learn more about what those farmers do now.

The benefit of connecting with farmers in the community is two-fold,

Timm said — it is a great way to find judges and coaches for FFA events, plus it is a wonderful way “for students to realize the assets in the community.”

According to Timm, only about 40 percent of LeRoy-Ostrander chapter members are directly involved in farming, so learning about what happens on a farm may be new for many of them.

“Definitely think it’s obtainable,” Timm said, when asked of the chances her chapter will be named one of the top 125. With a busy spring season ahead, Timm said the chapter has already begun working on the challenge. The deadline for farmers to confirm chapter participation is May 1.

According to the FFA Foundation’s Cramer, as of March 17, 2,245 farmers had cast their vote for a chapter and 136 chapters in the seven states had registered to participate in the challenge.

Timm is excited about the $1,500 in FFA credits — “anything we can do to cut costs for kids.” She said money has been tight for some of the kids in the chapter, with layoffs for one or both parents. The LeRoy-Ostrander chapter students feel “it’s a win-win project,” Timm said. A chance to win some money for the chapter and make connections with area farmers is all in a day’s work for these ambitious FFA’ers.

Winners will be announced May 15.

FFA 85-86: From European Union back to the Heartland

Success about more than money

FFA teaches hard work, organization KAZEMBA, from pg. 8A convention got her to thinking about attending there.

“FFA gets you thinking about setting goals and working toward a profession,” she said. “I wanted to be in the ag profession, but didn’t know that I would be in production agriculture. When I met and married a farmer I was very happy.”

Kim and her husband, Jim, both majored in agronomy at the U of M, though Kim was only a few credits short of graduating. She may have never graduated, but she hasn’t stopped learning. “With farming you’re learning all the time.”

Kim and Jim raise corn and soybeans, as well a few cattle for their own use, as well as 4-H livestock for their children. And do they have children — one boy

and seven girls, ranging from age 2 to 18.

“We’ve had the wonderful opportunity to raise children in agriculture,” Kim said. Kim is comfortable with large families; her parents, Howard and Muriel had nine children.

Her FFA experiences, including those on the state officer team, have served her well over the years.

“FFA teaches you to work hard, and work as a team, and how to keep good records,” she said. “Bookkeeping in FFA is one very valuable asset that will carry through, regardless what you do with your life.”

As the Kazemba children grow, Kim will be right there, preaching the importance of agriculture and the strength and benefits of the FFA. — Kevin Schulz, The Land editor

HARDER, from pg. 9A would be too much work. ... Fast forward one month and I talked to a guy I respected and he told me we had no good reason not to move.”

An Indianapolis company that Harder had been training for caught wind of the Harder family move and “they said we’ll send people here to you to train them.”

“In the business world, I’m very successful, but that doesn’t matter,” he said. The five years Harder spent at the Courage Center “I went from wanting to make money, to ‘I want to help people.”

While Dean is helping people, Jackie is a stay-athome mom, a high school track coach and “an extraordinary volunteer.”

In addition to Andrew, Dean and Jackie are also parents to Lucas, 16, and Paige, 14.

One of the hardest parts of the family’s move to Zionsville, Ind., is that the school the young Harders attend does not have an FFA chapter.The children are getting their involvement from other school activities. “One of the upsides to moving here was that they didn’t have to measure up to what Mom and Dad did,” Harder said.

England. She studied international ag trade policy in the one-year master degree program.

She finally found her way back to the U.S. Heartland when she went to work for Cargill on the trading floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. After doing that for two years she had had enough and moved into financial planning.

After 17 years of living in Chicago, she and husband, Peter Straus (a Chicago native), decided the big city was not the place to raise a family.

“There is no place like home,” she said, as she, Peter, Kathryn, 6, and Emma, 4, made the move last year to their current home at Spirit Lake, Iowa.

Anne and Peter work together in their home office of Henkels Financial Inc., with their primary focus “with individuals, mainly helping people plan for their kids’ college education and retirement.”

— Kevin Schulz, The Land editor

<< MILKER’S MESSAGE >>

Anne Henkels’ parents, Greg and Celia, encouraged their children in all that they did.

Though being a farm wife herself, Celia Henkels told her daughter “never marry a farmer,” the younger Henkels recalls. “She loved the farm life, but she wanted us to experience more beyond the farm and have fun.”

Anne did just that.

Henkels had the luxury of having Keith Place as an adviser at the Heron Lake-Okabena High School FFA chapter; “he was really a guiding force. He encouraged me to get involved.”

She actually credits Place and his wife, Julie, for bringing out the best in FFA students. Julie was the English teacher and speech coach at the high school, and a lot of FFA members were also in speech, “so we spent a lot of time at their place.”

Henkels participated in speaking and judging contests, as well as holding chapter and district FFA offices. “We had a very active chapter,” she said. “We just had a friendly competition among us.”

That competitive spirit and Keith Place’s encouragement prompted the next logical step in Henkels pursuing a state FFA office. “That was a combination of me following my own goals and his (Place’s) support,” she said.

She ran for state FFA office the spring of her freshman year at the University of Minnesota, St. Paul.

“That was a really great experience, a learning experience,” she said, admitting that it was challenging as well, juggling the full schedule of being a state officer and being a college student.

“I had a lot of support,” she said. “Being on the St. Paul campus, there were a lot of students who were in

4-H and FFA and knew that it was a hectic time. They helped me get through it. ... there were times when I asked myself what the heck I had gotten myself into.”

Henkels went on to graduate from the University of Minnesota with a degree in technical communications.

Henkels spent some time in Washington, D.C., as an intern for Minnesota’s Third District Rep. Bill Frenzel and Sen. Rudy Boschwitz. She then interned with Farm Journal magazine before a six-month internship with the European Economic Community, a front-runner to the European Union, Henkels said.

That exposure helped land Henkels a job with the European Report, a semi-weekly magazine where she basically covered the EEC’s equivalent of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. After three years with the European Report, she took advantage of a Rotary scholarship to achieve her master’s degree at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in Newcastle,

proportion of immigrant, non-English speaking students and a very significant number of special-ed students,” Grathwol said.

Several rural Minnesota school districts are either already into four-day school weeks or considering the issue as a way to trim transportation costs and remedy their overall financial situation. Does he foresee this happening in the bigger metropolitan districts?

“I don’t think so and I’m not sure it’s advisable. We’re asking the public schools to do more than they have ever done before; to educate more children to higher standards; in essence to make all our students ‘college-ready.’

And I don’t think you do that with fewer resources.”

“Alternative Licensure,” new legislation already signed by the governor, was strongly endorsed by the Minneapolis School District, Grathwol said. “We think there are alternatives to get good teachers in front of our kids. And we think this measure which allows non-licensed but ‘real world’ experienced people in various occupational backgrounds to become classroom teachers is good for both students and school districts.”

Early evidence from districts that have already added this new kind of faculty seems to strongly support the law.

Magnus: State legislators respect American farmers

La Finca, a 40-acre farm with seven acres dedicated to organic fruit and vegetable production, also provides other learning opportunities.

“We eat together every Wednesday,” Kersey said.

“We become very close to our interns. We want to help those people who want to move to other opportunities in agriculture to accomplish that.”

Kersey said that he has kept in touch with some of his apprentices from past years. A number of them continue to be involved in agriculture. One has started her own farm. By mid-March La Finca had made arrangements with all the apprentices needed for the 2011 season. Kersey calls them apprentices rather than interns because of the farms close, one-on-one, relationship with the apprentices.

Various references prospective interns can search INTERN, from pg. 15A apprentices.”

Both La Finca and Featherstone Fruits and Vegetables use the ATTRA website, http://attra.ncat.org, as a resource to find interns or apprentices. ATTRA, which is the National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service, currently lists more than 30 intern opportunities in Minnesota and hundreds of them across the country. Most, but not all, of the internships offer a stipend or actual wages. Almost all of the farms raise fruits and vegetables for their primary income. Farms have the opportunity to update their ATTRA internship descriptions. Only 15 of the Minnesota farms had updated their internship description in 2011. ATTRA is only a type of bulletin board and is not involved in any way in the internship relationship.

“NCAT (ATTRA’s parent organization) makes no claims concerning the content, accuracy, suitability, intent, comprehensiveness, or availability of the positions posted. It is the responsibility of the prospective intern to take all necessary precautions when interviewing for or accepting positions,” ATTRA writes at its website.

Brian Quiring, of Wilder Thymes farm near Wilder, Minn., also has a listing for three interns at the ATTRA site.

“I raise over 500 varieties of chemical-free fruits,

vegetables, herbs and flowers on plots totaling over 2.5 acres,” Quiring said. “I have a hoop house and various other types of protected growing culture.

Our crops are sold at farmers markets and through a growers group to schools, hospitals, restaurants and retail outlets.”

Quiring likes ATTRA but he also uses the World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms website, www.wwoofusa.org, to find interns. WWOOF currently has 22 Minnesota opportunities listed and, like ATTRA, hundreds of them across the country.

WWOOF is an old organization and is different in that it is also an international organization with

WWOOF has worked for Quiring. In mid-March a WWOOF intern was working at his farm and the other farms in his growers group, he said.

“I really like the profiles of the interns that are available at the WWOOF site,” he said.

The Minnesota Institute for Sustainable Agriculture, www.misa.umn.edu, also occasionally lists internship opportunities.

He’s positive about a House file (HF 274) and Senate file (SF445), that would move Minnesota’s estate tax law closer to conformity with federal law. These bills would set the Minnesota estate tax exemption at $4 million for farms and small businesses, up from the current exemption level of $1 million.

‘Stirring the Pot’ offers a lot of good for what ails you Cookbook Corner

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent Just leafing through the ample selection of recipes in “Stirring the Po t ,” a c o o k b o o k b e i n g s o l d b y Immanuel-St. Joseph’s-Mayo Health System Auxiliary in Mankato, Minn., will inspire you to get in the kitchen.

A useful mix of upscale cuisine and down-home cookin’, this book borrows from the creative minds of local chefs and caterers as well as talented home-schooled cooks. It could become your go-to book for food ideas.

In other words, there’s something for every eater and every occasion in the clever and classy “Stirring the Pot.” Food is historically important for the ISJ-MHS Auxiliary — Its very first task in 1919 was to provide canned goods for the hospital. Since then the Auxiliary has raised $1.7 million to support the hospital’s mission, mostly by buying upto-date medical equipment. Here are some of my favorite recipes.

■ Start a special breakfast spread with the sweet-and-salty flavors of Glazed Pepper Bacon. I like to use a heavy hand with the pepper on half the batch and keep the other half lightly seasoned for any wimps in the family, like me.

(My Scandinavian roots are showing.)

Glazed Pepper Bacon Dawn Murphy 1 package bacon Freshly ground pepper 1/2 cup packed brown sugar Line a jelly roll pan, or two pans if pans are small, with foil. Arrange bacon slices on foil without overlapping. Grind black pepper generously over the top of the bacon. Sprinkle all of the brown sugar on top. Bake in a 350 F oven for 25-30 minutes. Do not flip bacon over, but you may want to pour off some grease halfway through the baking time. When bacon is browned and almost crisp, transfer individual strips to a cooling rack. Do not stack bacon on a platter as the hot bacon will stick together.

The Johnson clan gives four and a half* yums to Black Bean Sauté ■ With Goof Proof Caramel Rolls, you mix up a few simple ingredients, stick them in a cold oven to rise before you go to bed, and finish them off in a flash the next morning. Using frozen dinner rolls saves a lot of dough work, too. I have no problem with such shortcuts as long as they’re delicious.

Goof Proof Caramel Rolls Shawn Schacherer 9 frozen dinner rolls 1/2 cup chopped pecans 1 (3-ounce) box of butterscotch pudding — not instant 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 cup melted butter or margarine The night before, generously coat a 9x9 pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Place frozen rolls 1/2-inch apart in pan. Mix together the pudding, cinnamon and pecans, then sprinkle over the rolls and drizzle the butter over the top. Place pan on lower rack of oven and let rolls rise overnight. In the morning, do not open oven door. Turn on oven to 350 F and bake for 25 minutes. Let set for 5 minutes and then invert onto a serving plate. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Scout cookies to arrive — and every year I mourn their passing. You can enjoy the classic flavors of Thin Mints all year long, however, when you whip up a batch of these cookies. Andes mints are the special touch.

Auntie Boo’s Chocolate Mint Cookies (similar to Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies) Joan Eichers 3/4 cup butter 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar (packed) 2 tablespoons water 12 ounces chocolate chips 2 eggs 2 1/2 cups flour 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt Green Andes mint candies Preheat oven to 300 F. In a heavy pan on low heat, beat butter, sugar and water until butter is melted. Add chocolate chips and stir until partly melted.

Remove from stove and stir until all are melted. Pour into mixing bowl and let cool 10 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat in dry ingredients until blended. Chill one hour. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Roll 1 teaspoon dough into a ball; continue until all dough is used. Place balls 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet.

Bake for 10-13 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately press a mint into each cookie. Let cookies cool a few minutes on the baking sheet. After mint melts, drag a mini-whisk through each mint to make a marble design.

Place cookies on wire racks to cool.

■ Versatile as a lively side dish or a hearty vegetarian entrée, Black Bean Sauté uses fragrant veggies and spices to turn an ordinary can of black beans into the extraordinary. You can make it

as hot as you like (or not) with the addition of hot pepper sauce; keep a bottle on the table for your fire-breathers. My long-suffering taste-testers agree: four out of four “yums,” and an extra halfyum for great nutrition*.

Black Bean Sauté Libby Slater 1 medium green pepper, chopped 1 medium onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon olive oil 1 (15-ounce) can low-sodium tomato sauce 1 1/4 cups canned black beans, drained and rinsed Hot pepper sauce to taste Hot cooked pasta or rice Sauté peppers, onion, garlic, oregano and cumin in oil over medium heat until tender, 1-3 minutes. Add tomato sauce, beans and hot pepper sauce.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes. Toss with pasta or rice.

■ Restaurant-quality food you can make at home: That’s what I call good livin’. A well-rubbed pork loin cooks and crackles alongside new potatoes, onions and (surprise!) pears, melding their juicy flavors. Any leftovers make wonderful cold sandwiches when thinly sliced.

Fennel Crusted Pork Loin Theresa Evans 1 tablespoon fennel seeds, crushed (coffee grinder works great) 2 cloves garlic, minced 4 tablespoons olive oil 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 2 pounds boneless pork loin 2 red onions, quartered 1 pound small white potatoes, quartered 3 firm pears (such as Bartlett), cored and quartered Heat oven to 400 F. In a small bowl, mix the fennel seeds, garlic, 2 tablespoons of the oil, salt and pepper. Rub the mixture over the pork. Place pork in a large roasting pan. In a bowl, mix the onions, potatoes, pears, the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Scatter vegetables around the pork and roast until cooked through, about 70 minutes (internal temperature 160 F). Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with the roasted produce.

A female co-worker expressed excitement the other afternoon about the recent spring-like turn of the weather, saying how sandal season soon would be at hand ... or afoot.

Now, I wouldn’t know anything about just what marks the beginning of the sandal season. But according to the calendar, spring officially arrived March 20.

In these latitudes, March is a conflict between the seasons. The direction of the battle may ebb and flow but the end is always pre-ordained. Spring wins.

And after this winter to remember — or perhaps one we’d like to forget — the victory won’t be coming a moment too soon. Who’d have thought such a simple pleasure could be found in watching the reemergence of the street curb from a pile of dirty snow?

THE OUTDOORS For the last several weeks, the

By John Cross noisy flights of Canada geese winging overhead during my predawn dog walks already were heralding spring’s impending arrival.

Likewise, the morning air now is filled with a chorus of trills, chirps and whistles as robins, cardinals and a myriad other birds proclaim a change in the seasons. Just about now is when the wood ducks begin to arrive in the area to search out nesting sites.

I caught a glimpse of a trio of tom turkeys several yards off the road the other day. And in spite of a mostlysnow covered hillside, all three were strutting.

Soon, there will be the male red-winged blackbirds carving out their territories amidst the snow-battered remnants of cattails to await the arrival of potential mates.

Hormones don’t lie; spring is at hand.

The last-ice crappie bite is also at hand, and while catching fish isn’t exactly a sign of spring, the manner in which we now can do it — sans heaters, augers and heavy parkas — is.

Delightfully unshackled from the cold-weather gear necessary just a few weeks ago, these last days of the icefishing season come down to just a fisherman and a fishing pole.

But this is Minnesota. There will undoubtedly be minor setbacks before spring claims a clear victory.

Some TV weather pundits are nearly wetting themselves as they talk of a weather system that might return us to more wintery conditions.

But we can roll with a final punch or two from winter.

In the end, spring still wins.

No better time than the present to ask ‘Am I going for broke?’

When casinos first started popping up in Minnesota I remember the Sunday afternoon conversation of my parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts.

There was a debate if they were going to check it out or do a personal boycott, forgoing a first-time visit.

Word on the street was that casinos were a waste of money, but could possibly be justified by even the most outstanding citizens for their economical buffets. One aunt was adamantly

against it. Another one thought she might go once. She then addressed my farmer father and said, “Is this any different than farming? You people gamble everyday!”

There are certainly not any guarantees with farming. Sunshine and rain are not ours to control. Nor is the price of grain. Dad reminded his sister, who knew better, but was trying to get a rise out of him, that all things are in God’s control. Then in jest he said

Is Zoysia grass good to plant in our area?

No. The reason is that these plants will not green up until early June and it begins to turn brown by the end of August. It is better suited for the southern part of the United States. Yes, many companies will be advertising this now, but don’t buy it.

When should I uncover the tulips and daffodils?

These should be uncovered as soon as the snow has melted. As soon as growth of these bulbs begins, be sure to put a fence around them to keep rabbits from eating the leaves and buds.

Grain Angles Livestock Angles Grain Outlook Low corn stocks Livestock Futures Corn finds high in early April accelerate shock market The livestock markets are still alive and well — and may continue as long as export markets live up to all the hype that has propelled enthusiasm as of late. Following the tragic events in Japan, livestock futures have accelerated to higher levels on the belief that U.S. livestock products will be needed for protein, increasing demand in the near future.

The cattle market has vaulted recently to new all-time highs as packers moved quickly to acquire cattle as high as $120 per hundredweight live basis the Midwest. This began an immediate buying spree in the futures which propelled them sharply higher toward the recent highs.

JOE TEALE The interesting thing about this Broker recent upward swing in the market Great Plains Commodity Afton is the fact that domestic demand is declining as the beef cutouts move higher. The only consistent demand domestically seems to be lean beef, which has continued to find good interest.

Overall, the beef cutout has met resistance near the $190/cwt. level and boxed beef movement has decreased substantially, indicating a weakening domestic demand. To support any further price appreciation, the export market will have to meet all the expectations that have been prognosticated.

Expect the volatility to remain extreme as more and more speculation enters the market. Prices are likely to move higher in the short term, but as the price moves higher the demand for beef is likely to shrink in response.

The fact that the recent cold storage report indicated that beef supplies again increased brings evi-

By the time you read this column, the March 31 U.S. Department of Agriculture Quarterly Stocks and Planted Acres report will be old news. This is a report that the market had been waiting to see before determining major market direction. Historically, this is an important crop report and many times sets the market tone until early July. Historically corn will find the season high around April 6.

China continues to be a major player in the corn export market.

Over the past several weeks China has been rumored to be buying U.S. corn. Last week the USDA confirmed that 1.25 million metric tons of corn had been sold to an undisclosed destination. The market had TOM NEHER a rally on the rumor and then was AgStar VP Agribusiness sold on the fact. Many think that if & Grain Specialist Rochester China is buying in the corn market that there will be “more to come.”

Soybeans from South America continue to keep the “pipeline” full, yet the demand continues to pull soybeans through at a strong clip. The battle for soybean acres will be keen as the market continues to be concerned about the cool, wet weather forecasts for the Upper Midwest this spring. If corn is unable to be planted in a timely fashion, more soybeans may be planted.

The challenges to margin management continue to mount as farmland and cash rents continue to climb in many growing areas of the Midwest. Farmland and cash rents have shattered records throughout the Midwest.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

The following market analysis is for the week ending April 1.

CORN — The markets were a day early for an April Fool’s Day prank, but the U.S. Department of Agriculture grain stocks report seemed to pull a fast one on the markets.

The smaller-than-anticipated stocks number caught the market off-guard after funds had liquidated length going into the report.

The corn inventory as of March 1 was 6.52 billion bushels versus the 6.701 billion bushel pre-report estimate. Last year we had 7.694 billion bushels on hand March 1.

PHYLLIS NYSTROM This year’s March 1 stocks are Country Hedging the lowest since the 2006-07 marSt. Paul keting year. The report also indicated that only 52 percent of the corn inventory was located onfarm, the lowest percentage since at least 1971.

Due mainly to the stocks report, corn locked up the 30-cent daily limit in the session following the report’s release. The prospective plantings report was mostly as expected; indicating 92.178 million acres will be planted to corn this spring. This is the secondlargest planted corn forecast since World War II and the highest since 2007. Traders were expecting a 91.662 figure. Last year we planted 88.2 million acres.

All in all, the reports confirmed that we still need to ration old crop corn usage and we have little room for any problems with this year’s crop. It will be interesting going forward how many corn acres get planted.

In five of the last seven years actual corn planted was

Nystrom: We can’t afford fewer acres, low yields NYSTROM, from pg. 1B higher than the March 31 estimate. Last year was one of the two exceptions, when actual corn plantings were 600,000 less than the March report.

Grower sales perked up slightly with December 2011 corn futures trading at their highest level since August 2008. May 2011 corn pushed toward the contract high of $7.44 1/4 per bushel. Old crop sales were still small as many producers are willing to hold onto the limited bushels of old

crop they have left to market.

Export sales were huge, as expected, due to last week’s sale of 1.25 million metric tons of corn sold to unknown (assumed to be China). This week’s sales were a marketing year high at 75.4 million bushels. This brings total export commitments to 11 percent ahead of last year when the latest USDA number pegs sales to be down 1.8 percent from last year. In other Chinese related news, China is working with Argentina on approving a sanitary method of shipment

Reserves are ‘shock absorbers’

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

NEHER, from pg. 1B than 25 percent for the year from March 1, 2010 to March 1, 2011. In the past month statewide land values have increased by 20 percent. This is a new record for land appreciation in Iowa. The only comparable years were 1973 to 1975, when Iowa State University’s land survey reported 30 percent annual increases. Yet, if we look at these increases in the light of inflation in 1973 to 1975; rates were at 9 percent. When we compare this to the 2010 inflation rates of 1.6 percent, this shows the strength of our current rally in land prices.

One of the major differences between the land markets in the 1970s and today is the cost of interest.

We have gone from double-digit interest rates to single-digit rates today.

Another difference is that buyers today are coming to the auctions with cash on hand versus only putting 20 percent as a down payment during the mid-1970s. This puts the buyers in a stronger position to withstand shortterm downturns in the grain production economy. The major factor that land value observers should track is the cost of interest on borrowed money.

When interest rates rally, this will put the brakes on land value appreciation.

During times of volatility, the strength of one’s reserves are the “shock absorbers” that allow one to keep their businesses on track when the “black swan” swims through our economy. The building and maintenance of working capital will be a key Grain Angle in the next few years as volatility plays havoc with our markets.

and handling procedures to accommodate China’s standards for corn imports.

OUTLOOK: Post-reports, we will now begin the job of rationing once again, plus watching every single weather forecast available for hints of planting delays. Implied ending stocks for the year are being projected in 400 million to 600 million bushel range versus the current USDA forecast of 675 million bushels. This could push the ending stocks-to-use ratio below 5 percent. During March, nearby corn was down 4 percent, but is still up 10.2 percent year-to-date.

Watch for the April 8 USDA monthly crop report for updated 2010-11 balance sheets to give us a better idea of how high prices need to advance. Balance sheets for the 2011-12 crop year will not be released until the May 11 report. Demand rationing, possible Chinese buying and weather will provide on-going support.

The market’s next target is the 2008 high of $7.65, then $8. There is a gap in May corn from $6.93 1/4 to $7.25 which will provide support. May corn surged 46 1/2 cents higher this week to close at $7.36; the December contract gained 28 cents and settled at $6.37 1/2/bu.

SOYBEANS — The soybean reports this week were friendly to prices, confirming our balance sheet this year is

extremely tight, and leaving no room for any further acreage reductions or below trendline yields if we are to keep carryout levels above 140 million bushels.

Soybean March 1 stocks were 1.249 billion bushels versus 1.295 billion expected and 1.270 billion bushels last year. Only 40.4 percent of the stocks are on-farm, the lowest percentage since 2004. Traders estimate ending soybean stocks this year of 120 million to 165 million bushels versus the current 140 million bushel USDA prediction.

Planted acres for 2011-12 were pegged at the third highest level at 76.6 million acres versus 76.97 estimated and 77.4 million acres planted last year.

Most of the lost acres come from Iowa, Kansas, Ohio, Nebraska and Mississippi. Gaining soybean acres this year would be both North Dakota and South Dakota. Bean acreage in Illinois, Indiana and Minnesota was unchanged on this week’s report.

Export sales this week were disappointing at 5.3 million bushels for old crop. This keeps our pace 11 percent ahead of last year. Safras this week lowered their soybean production number for Brazil from 71.9 mmt to 71.5 mmt due to wet weather. The latest USDA estimate is 70 mmt. Soybeans faded lower when the calendar See NYSTROM, pg. 3B

Hog, pig report released TEALE, from pg. 1B dence that beef demand is slowing as the price rises. The competitive meats such as pork and chicken will also play a factor in the months ahead as household budgets are squeezed due to everincreasing costs of commodities and the inflation that is developing. Therefore, producers should continue to protect inventories against any adverse price movements in the future. One reminder: what goes up eventually comes down.

The hog market has seen a price rally somewhat similar to the cattle market in recent weeks. Cash prices have slowly advanced as packers work to accumulate live inventory, indicating the projected increase in the demand for pork product. The export market has been good so far this year and with the tragedy in Japan, the expectation that these exports will go in relation to that tragedy to meet the needs of the Japanese people.

On March 25, the U.S. Department of Agriculture released the Quarterly Hogs and Pigs Report. The results are

as follows: All hogs and pigs on March 1, 101 percent; kept for breeding, 100 percent; and kept for marketing, 101 percent. The December to February. pig crop was pegged at 101 percent with the pigs per liter at 102 percent. The report indicates that the hog herd is remaining fairly stable. The short-term outlook, according to the report, would suggest that the immediate number of hogs is adequate, and that over the longer term there may be a decline in numbers based on farrowing intentions.

As with the cattle there has been plenty of speculation over a suspected increase in export demand. Given the high premiums in the futures prices, should this export demand fail to materialize, the hog market would be extremely vulnerable to a drastic pullback in prices. Until that fact is known, it is likely we will see higher prices in the near-term as speculation continues to dominate the market.

Producers should be cognizant of these events and continue to take a cautious approach to the hog market and be willing to protect their inventories.

Price outlook remains strong NYSTROM, from pg. 2B flipped to April on rumors China was cancelling or delaying shipments of previously purchased Brazilian soybeans.

OUTLOOK: Nearby soybeans were up 3.9 percent for the month and are up 1.2 percent year-to-date. May soybeans’ upside target is the February high of $14.67 1/2 with support near $13.60/bu. Soybeans don’t have as difficult a task to ration as does corn, but

weather is unpredictable and could change that perception over time. All in all, the price outlook remains strong with periods of choppiness/corrections anticipated. That could be interpreted as a $13 to $15 range for soybeans in the coming months. May soybeans jumped 35 1/2 cents higher this week to close at $13.93 3/4; the November contract was up 39 cents at $13.89 1/4/bu.

a role in weakening U.S. product prices.

■ Butter finished the week at $1.99, down 8.5 cents but still 49.5 cents above a year ago. Seventeen cars were sold. NASS butter averaged $2.0659, down a nickel.

Cash Grade A nonfat dry milk closed Friday at $1.70, down a nickel, while Extra Grade held all week at $1.80.

NASS powder averaged $1.5183, up 0.4 cent, and dry whey averaged 45.84 cents, up a penny and a half.

When asked what prompted Monday’s gain in cheese, Robert Cropp, emeritus professor at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, said, “that’s a good question.”

He mentioned last week’s Cold Storage data which showed a slight decline in cheese stocks from January to February which he said is good news but stocks were still 4 percent above a year ago.

Indications are that cheese demand is holding pretty good, Cropp said, however cheese production is running strong but buyers may be looking down the road. The last Milk Production report showed U.S. milk output was only up 2 percent and February cow numbers did not increase from January.

He warned however that it was questionable whether it would hold and said he expected it to slip as we enter the spring flush but then start to rebound in the summer months and fall.

I asked if the situation in Japan or China might have any bearing and Cropp pointed out that the markets took a little nosedive immediately after the earthquake in Japan but it looks like exports will recover as there is growing concern about milk quality in Japan.

Japan is also a major cheese buyer.

China has also been active in the international dairy market, he said, but their interest is more on powdered milk and dry whey than on cheese.

■ Downes-O’Neill dairy broker Dave Kurzawski summed up Tuesday’s losses, saying, “we got a lot of volatility here in the marketplace. The market is trying to find a happy place and that happy place is somewhere here between $1.60 and $1.70 at this point.”

He also warned that more cheese is likely to come to the market and that could pull the price below $1.50.

Kurzawski said there’s fresh product available, based on Monday’s trading, “that buying that pushed us up 7 cents, that buying was I don’t want to miss

the boat type buying, that was the psychology behind that.” He pointed to the quarter-cent higher bid in Friday’s block market and the buyers said “I better get in here before we get back up to $1.90; the fundamentals don’t yet support that,” he said.

The price got to $1.70 as a “line in the sand,” Kurzawski said, and the sellers came back out and do have the product.

That could change in 30 or 45 days, he said, “but today and this week they do have cheese available.”

Switching to the butter side, the price strengthened three consecutive sessions but lost a penny and a half Tuesday on an offer. “The buyers stepped away here quietly Tuesday,” Kurzawski said. They have been a big part of the reason the price has been above $2 for a few weeks but they will eventually step aside for more than just a day, he said. They’re not gone yet, he said, but expect butter to fall below $2 for a short period.

The stocks-to-use ratios on butter, nonfat dry milk and dry whey are all tight, he said. “We don’t have a lot of wiggle room but right now we have enough to meet the current demand.”

■ The CME’s Daily Dairy Report says total cheese use surged in the November-to-January period, up 5.8 percent from a year ago and the largest increase since summer 2005. Sales were strong for American and other cheeses and butter disappearance was up 16.6 percent, while fluid sales were flat.

Meanwhile, the DDR reports that dairy farm profitability improved in March.

The March Milk-Feed Price Ratio is 2.18, up from February’s 2.02 estimate, according to the USDA’s latest Ag Prices report and is unchanged from March of 2010.

The all-milk price was estimated at $20.40/cwt., up $1.30 from last month’s estimate and $5.60 above a year ago.

Corn averaged $5.46 per bushel, down 18 cents from February, but $1.91 above a year ago. The soybean price, at $12.10/bu., was down 60 cents from February, but $2.71 above a year ago. Alfalfa baled hay at $136 per ton, was up $9 from February and $23 above a year ago. The DDR adds that, based on preliminary feed costs, there will not be a Milk Income Loss Contract payment for March.

National Dairy Producers Conference set for May 15-17 The goal, of course, is to benefit the dairymen who produce the raw milk and this program puts the two together — the dairy producer and the dairy processor — investing in the eventual development of new products.

O’Donnell also discussed Dairy Management Inc.’s Dairy Research Institute. In similar fashion, the farmers produce the raw milk and they depend on processors to develop new dairy products that, hopefully, put more milk in consumer’s mouths.

The DRI brings producers and processors together as well, O’Donnell said, so they can decide together where they need to go as an industry, then as the technology is developed, everyone knows about it and the processors in turn invest their resources at the appropriate time and move that technology out.

“You’ve created a communication venue for everybody,” O’Donnell said, “and every time people get together to communicate, good ideas and good things happen. That is the real advantage of DRI.” ■

The National Dairy Producers Conference, formerly known as the National Dairy Leaders Conference, will be held May 15-17 in Omaha, Neb. Organized by the National Milk Producers Federation, Chris Galen said various panels will “give us the opportunity to delve in to great depth the key issues facing dairy producers, cooperatives, processors and others involved in dairy production.”

Dairy policy will be a big focus, Galen said. The outlook for the next farm bill, the budget situation and how that will affect farm policy will also be discussed, as well as a special focus on the NMPF’s “Foundation For The Future dairy policy proposal.

Other farm organizations will present their views and desires for dairy policy as well.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Midwest Machinery Co.

THE LAND, APRIL 8, 2011

DAIRYLINE, from pg. 4B soybeans, wheat and cotton against each other for valuable space.

Two of the more highly anticipated USDA reports were released on Thursday, with the latest Grain Stocks report estimating current grain inventories; and a Planting Intentions report providing a glimpse of what farmers intend to plant this spring. Dairy Profit Weekly editor Dave Natzke detailed the reports Friday.

Indications are that corn is the early leader in the battle for acreage, Natzke said. The USDA forecasts that growers intend to plant more than 92 million acres of corn in 2011, up 5 percent from last year and 7 percent more than 2009. If realized, it would be the second largest area planted to corn since 1944, behind only 2007’s 93.5 million acres, Natzke said.

Soybean planted area for 2011 is estimated at 76.6 million acres. While down 1 percent from last year, it would still be the third largest on record.

Looking at grain stocks, corn stored in all positions on March 1 was estimated at 6.5 billion bushels, down 15 percent from a year ago; while soybeans inventories totaled 1.25 billion bushels, down 2 percent.

Estimated corn acreage came in somewhat higher than many market analysts had predicted, but corn inventories came in slightly lower. Soybean acreage and stocks estimates came in slightly lower than many forecasts, so we’ll probably see some futures price reaction as the week closes.

■ Turning to a legal matter, Natzke reported that Dean Foods has agreed to sell a milk processing plant in Waukesha, Wis., to settle a federal antitrust lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court. Under the settlement, Dean has 90 days to sell the plant, which it purchased from Foremost Farms dairy cooperative in 2009. The lawsuit, filed by the U.S. Department of Justice and Attorneys General in Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan, alleged Dean’s ownership of the plant presented antitrust concerns.

■ The Cooperatives Working Together program announced acceptance of three requests for export assistance from Darigold, Foremost Farms and United Dairymen of Arizona to sell 518,000 pounds of cheese to customers in Asia and the Middle East.

The product will be delivered now through June and put the CWT’s 2011 cheese exports so far to 19.6 million pounds to 16 countries.

■ One of the important associations the dairy checkoff program has is with the California Dairy Research Foundation. Executive director Joe O’Donnell talked about it with DairyLine’s Bill Baker at the recent World Ag Expo in Tulare, Calif.

The CDRF invests checkoff funds in research programs that develop technology to be used by processors to expand dairy markets through the development of new dairy products, O’Donnell said, and that assumes the early risk. It’s generic at this point, he said, and available to anyone who wants to take and run with it and put their private label on it and put it in the marketplace.
