OPINION

Letter: Thanks for job well done To the Editor: I think that all Minnesotans should be proud of our representatives and senators in the Minnesota Legislature.

They have listened to their constituents’ concerns about cutting taxes and holding the budget down, spending only as much as we are taking in. They are doing it in a timely fashion, after carefully going through the budgets from each department and looking for improvements in delivering the services in the most efficient manner. They even found some ways of cutting taxes in the effort to keep businesses in Minnesota. Gov. Dayton proposed a phantom

budget that would increase taxes but it was voted down by the House, 130-1.

Contrast this with the federal government where the Democrats didn’t get around to pass a budget bill for this year. It should have been passed last year but they kept on illegally spending your money, plus millions borrowed from all over the world. If you and I ran our business or home like the federal government does, we would all be broke. Blaming someone else is not a solution, it is a poor excuse. Let’s thank our Legislators for a job well done.

Commentary: Real life and antibiotic resistance The Wall Street Journal recently made a dreadful error in a news story. That’s “dreadful” as in causing consumers to dread the potential loss of the antibiotics we need to cure pneumonia, tuberculosis and infected scratches.

On Jan. 10, the WSJ online told its readers that America’s hog farmers were overusing antibiotics in their hogs’ feed — and that could lead to more antibiotic resistance in humans. Food editors eagerly pounced on the scare story.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture, however, issued a correction statement on March 18, saying that the WSJ had “wrongly interpreted” a statement by one if its research administrators at a congressional hearing.

Antibiotic resistance is a big deal. Until we got antibiotics, people used to die of “blood poisoning” all the time.

Pneumonia carried off huge numbers of the young and old — until we got antibiotics. Tuberculosis was virtually incurable without the antibiotic “wonder drugs.”

Unfortunately, Mother Nature herself creates resistance to antibiotics. Bacteria vary in their susceptibility to the drugs. Some aren’t killed, and they proliferate

after the susceptible bugs are gone. We find the same thing in breeding resistance to viral diseases into crop varieties; eventually the resistance breaks down and we have to rebreed.

The only way we’ve found to combat antibiotic resistance is by continuing to find new antibiotics. In recent years, however, the cost of developing and registering a new antibiotic has skyrocketed. Regulators still warily remember those thousands of deformed “thalidomide babies” of 50 years ago. We’ve registered only a few new antibiotics in recent decades, while antibiotic resistance keeps building.

Scientific American followed the WSJ’s lead the next week with an editorial noting that the American Medical Association, the Infectious Disease Society of America, the American Public Health Association, a previous FDA commissioner and many others have advised the United States to ban the low-level feeding of antibiotics.

A similar roster of professional health associations had already led a ban-the-feed-antibiotics movement in Europe 25 years ago. Both Sweden and Denmark banned them.

Unfortunately, their real-world experience has shown no

OPINION

beneficial result for humans, and quite possibly may have made the antibiotic resistance problem even worse.

Results: (1) They’ve seen no difference in the buildup of antibiotic resistance in humans; (2) Farmers use lots less of the low-level feed antibiotics — but those were mostly not important in treating humans.

And, (3) The lack of the “preventive” antibiotics has meant more sick animals and birds. Ironically, this results in increased farm use of the more potent antibiotics that are important in treating humans as well as the now-really-sick animals and birds.

For decades now, health professionals have tried to blame farmers for the embarrassing antibiotic resistance problem. However, they know full well that half of the prescriptions written for antibiotics are for viral ailments that the antibiotics can’t cure — such as colds and influenza.

I used to successfully plead for antibiotics myself some years ago to treat what turned out to be an allergy. I assume my doctor knew they wouldn’t do any good, but wanted to pacify me; and at that time saw no harm in doing so. Now, more doctors are correctly sending sniffling patients home without an RX and with a recommendation for bed rest.

The second big human problem is that we stop taking our medication when we “feel better” — and the toughest bugs still haven’t been killed. Scientific American concedes these problems: “Careless use of the drugs in people also contributes to the problem. But agricultural use is still a major contributing factor.”

The European experience has shown that a ban would mainly mean more sick hogs and chickens.

Commentary: Incorrect assessment on going back In the commentary “RIM value not in dollars but clean water, wildlife” (The Land, April 1, Page 4A) the writer thinks I want to turn the clock back to the water and land management of the ’70s based on my commentary in The Land, March 18 Page 8A about my concerns with the Reinvest In Minnesota program. He is incorrect in his assessment.

As stated before,I believe clean water and conservation are worthy goals. I believe in using filter strips and other erosion control measures. We try to maintain enough surface residue and do not roll land.

Yes, we do have a 100-year flood every

few years now. Lincoln County is at the top of the watershed. By installing more erosion control dams and sizing tile inlets and culverts, we have the ability to help slow down the first flush of water in the spring. We certainly do not want to hold it back during the growing season.

We would like to raise a crop, too.

My issue with the RIM program is as follows. It is our duty as stewards of the land to teach the next generation how to care for the land, not to forever limit what they can do with the land and at the same time make them responsible

for paying taxes on it and for taking care of it the way we see fit in perpetuity without compensation.

I want the word perpetual taken out of the program. At the time of death of the landowner or sale of the land we would like the right to buy the easement out. It is obvious that not all RIM easements would be bought out. They would not be bought out on low, wet, hard-to-farm ground.

Only RIM contracts on land that it makes economic sense to farm or graze would be bought out.

As stated before, conservation acres have gone up a lot in Lincoln County since the 1960s. We have a lot of marginal farmland in Lincoln County. The 2010 Lincoln County plat book shows approximately 11,800 Department of Natural Resources acres and 2,700 USA acres. We also have RIM acres, Conservation Reserve Program acres and many pastures that have been planted to trees. At the same time that conservation acres have gone up, cattle numbers have been cut tremendously.

out-competed stock cow people at every turn. The Minnesota beef cattle herd has been almost cut in half since the 1960s.

As far as the Minnesota beef cattle industry is concerned, the conservation acres with perpetual easements could just as well be on the moon. Once a stock cow man loses his pasture to a perpetual conservation easement or the DNR and the cows are sold it is next to impossible to start again. Competing with conservation acres certainly is not the only factor for the decline, but it is one.

President Obama has the goal of doubling exports to help out our balance of trade, just like every President since Jimmy Carter has had the goal of cutting oil imports. I read recently in Pheasants Forever magazine that Wisconsin was thinking about letting flood plain acres be cut for biomass. Why couldn’t conservation acres in Minnesota be cut July 1 to help out the dying Minnesota cow-calf industry? We certainly could export more beef.

Let us do our part. Write your legislators.

It’s spring. Warm weather makes me start planning for my flower and vegetable garden.

My Top 10 Reasons to Garden • Health — Growing your own makes it easier to get the fruits and vegetables needed for good health. Children involved in growing or preparing fruits and vegetables are more likely to eat them.

• Exercise — Gardening provides both cardio and aerobic exercise. Studies show that an hour of moderate gardening can burn up to 300 calories for women, almost 400 calories for men. Mowing the grass equals a vigorous walk, bending and stretching while planting compares to an exercise class and hauling plants and soil is like weightlifting.

• Taste — Nothing matches the taste of green beans, tomatoes, basil, zucchini or peppers picked fresh from the garden.

• Satisfaction — A weed-less, mulched garden gives me a sense of accomplishment.

• Learning — The more I learn about plants and gardening, the more I want to know. Problems with insects or spots on leaves make me want to find the cause and learn how to keep plants healthy.

• Family time — Time spent plant-

ing, weeding and harvesting with family is filled with talk and laughter.

• Friendship — Gardening expands your social circle. Whether it’s someone who lives down the street or halfway around the world on the internet, gardeners love to talk about plants. Surplus tomatoes, a bouquet or an extra plant are gifts to share with friends and neighbors.

• Creativity — Gardening provides an outlet for the artist in all of us, whether it’s planting a bed of perennials or arranging flowers in a vase.

• Beauty and love of nature — I love the colors, shapes, textures and smells of flowers. Having flowers in my home gives me joy.

• Links to the farm — Gardening takes time, effort and knowledge. After lots of work, plants can be destroyed by hail, disease or animals. I have a great deal of respect for those who farm for a living.

Commentary: Life and maple syrup — figuring it out Someone stopped by the office recently to drop off a couple of soil samples and made the comment that they were tapping some maple trees and things had been pretty slow so far.

After they left, someone listening to the conversation asked some questions about how you collect sap and make maple syrup. I shared a little bit of what I had learned from doing some reading, visiting a couple farms and tapping a couple of maple trees in our yard the last couple of years.

The listener wondered how someone figured out they could do this the first time. That would be interesting to know about a lot of things — from the first boiled egg to the first gallon of ice cream.

Many things we take for granted probably stem from someone’s observation and evaluation skills and the capacity to put two and two together and get four.

It could be that someone watched sap flow from a crack in a maple tree and wondered what that liquid might be like. Perhaps they fastened a peg of some kind to the tree so the sap would flow over it and drip into a container ... or they wondered about drilling a hole. Perhaps they watched other situations where a liquid boiled away in a kettle and a

residue remained that had other interesting characteristics; and they were curious about what would be left of this liquid if they boiled it down a bit. Then maybe through some trial and error and success ... and by talking with others, they improved on the process.

A lot of life is about learning. A lot of learning seems to be based on observation and evaluation skills and exchanging ideas and experiences with other people. Remember the story of Newton discovering the concept of gravity by sitting under an apple tree and giving a little thought to the experience of an apple dropping on his head? Or was that an oak tree and an acorn? Or was it a tire wrench laying up on a car fender while he changed a tire?

It seems like one of the keys to doing better with things is to have or develop good observation and evaluation skills and the capacity to put two and two together and get four — looking for what might be learned through each day’s experience and the experiences of others.

I’ve often heard it said related to farming, “you can’t learn farming from a book.” I certainly agree that “hands-on work” requires a lot of “hands on learning.” In FFA we called it “Learning to do, Doing to learn.” Good reading can be a good way to learn from what someone else has learned — whether on their own farm or in field and farm trials done by universities or other credible sources.

ing. When you’ve quit moving, you’re only going to dig deeper if you keep spinning your wheels and it’s going to be even more work to get you out. So there’s a time when you have to swallow your pride or whatever it is; and in those days without cell phones, walk home and ask for some help.

Sometimes other people can see things we struggle with more clearly than we can when we are “up to our ears in it.” We can sometimes make good use of someone else’s observation skills, evaluation skills, knowledge, experience and their ability to put two and two together. That’s why we call the vet or take a tractor to a mechanic now and then.

Dad also talked about “learning by trial and error” and the concept that life is too short to limit yourself to learning only from your own mistakes or your own successes. So stay connected with people who are thoughtfully trying to figure out some of the same things you are working on — through what you can see, hear, read or pick up in other ways. Connect with people who have found some success with things you are working on also.

Be sure to use your own thinking skills and stay tuned to things that are important to you and your family as you evaluate strategies that might work well in your own situation.

Cover story: ‘Hands-off’ safest way to raise cacti

By RICHARD SIEMERS The Land Correspondent The cactus is not about to replace the lady slipper as Minnesota’s state flower, but it could have been chosen — there are three species of prickly pear cactus (genus Opuntia) that are native to the state.

Other species of cactus can also be Ron Hanson raised successfully in Minnesota.

Ron Hanson has been doing it for years.

Hanson, who lived at Montevideo, Minn., until he was flooded out and purchased an acreage north of Sacred Heart, Minn,. raised and sold cacti at the Montevideo farmers’ market.

Hanson’s introduction to cacti came when his grandfather started Snortum Greenhouse and Nursery in Canby, Minn. His real involvement began while he was selling vegetables at the farmers market.

A man “came to the farmers market, took these big cactus plants out of his car, and set them next to my vegetable stand,” Hanson said. In exchange for a few vegetables, he gave Hanson the cacti to sell.

This man “had been so interested in cacti, he wanted to pass it on to the next generation.”

Hanson started to raise and sell cacti with his vegetables. It has been 10 years since he has sold at the Montevideo farmers market, but he still raises cacti and will sell to interested parties.

He is not a trained botanist. Everything he can tell you about cacti comes from self-teaching and experience.

Hanson said there are three species of cactus native to Minnesota. He has found two of them

growing on rock outcropIt’s a little different than pings along the Minweeding other things. I nesota River, use pliers in some spots. though they also — Ron Hanson are known to grow in Blue Mounds State Park near Luverne and possibly other habitats. He said the third is found only in a section of the Big Stone National Wildlife Refuge.

“The species native to Minnesota do best outside,” he said. “You really don’t even need to cover them for the winter. They look all shriveled up and then in the spring, they come back to life.”

These are prickly pear cactus that grow in sections that look like fleshy pads, each pad having clusters of spines. According to informational websites (listed below), the spines are modified leaves and the fleshy pads are modified stems. They reproduce when pads break off and reroot.

The non-native species, being desert plants, can also take some cold, but not the winter. Those plants Hanson has potted, moving them outside for the summer and bringing inside for winter.

“With these cacti, if it was 23 to 30 F for five or six hours, they can pretty much handle that anytime,” he said. “In 2009, there was no light frost. We got into October and hit the big one.”

Hanson works with the sugar beat harvest, and had no time or energy that autumn to haul trays of cactus plants into the house. He spread tarps over the plants, but when the temperature got down to 20

F two nights in a row, he lost hundreds. In 2010 he had a good if smaller crop growing again.

Like every other plant, weeds grow among those in the ground, and even get into the pots. Weeding can be tricky.

“It’s a little different than weeding other things,” he said. “I use a pliers in some spots.”

The trick, of course, is to avoid contact with the spines. The fuzzy looking ones are not soft and fuzzy.

He pointed to some on a plant. “If you were to touch that, you’d wind up with 20 tiny spines, that whole little fuzzy-looking cluster. They’re hard to get out, but not serious. I’ve come to appreciate these bigger spines because you know what you’ve got.”

The larger spines are more difficult to get out, however, “like a fishhook” is the way he described them.

Whatever the drawbacks, Hanson likes cacti. He had one non-native cactus, six to eight inches in diameter, that grew over eight feet tall. He cut it in two just to get it in the house. He has photos of one of his cactus plants with large white blossoms.

The beauty of cacti blossoms is one attraction to Hanson. While not all plants bloom, others produce a variety of showy flowers in spring or early summer. Another attraction — they don’t require a lot of attention.

“I like that they’re easy to care for,” he said. When he used to be a tree-planter down south in the winter, he could leave his cacti in the house and they would be fine. Someone would stop by once a month or every two months to water them. “If you neglect them, they seem to do real well.”

At the farmers market, Hanson had a sign that read, “Cactus: The Plant That Demands Respect.” He not only respects them, Hanson also thinks cacti are fascinating plants worth getting to know.

Daffodils, hyacinths true gifts of spring’s return Distributed by McClatchy-Tribune Information Services Those foil-wrapped potted tulips, daffodils and hyacinths sold at supermarkets, garden or home centers, farmers markets and other retailers are perfect for outdoor planting, just like bedding plants. They are a great way to dress up your deck, patio or porch in planters that say spring is here.

“It’s true — once spring temperatures stay above freezing, nursery pots of spring bulb flowers can be used indoors or out. Just slip them out of their plastic pots, then plant them outdoors into the garden or containers,” said Sally Ferguson, director of the Netherlands Flower Bulb Information Center in Danby, Vt., online at www.bulb.com.

Anticipate spring Once the weather turns and daffodils start coming up in local gardens, bulb bedding plant season has begun. When planted outdoors, potted bulbs can last for weeks, even a month, when spring weather is still quite cool overall.

Buy green and watch them grow For longest enjoyment, choose potted bulbs with tight green buds, not those already in full bloom.

Any of the potted hardy spring bulbs are candidates for outdoor planting in spring, including tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, crocuses and more. All are

weed-free. When planting the seeds, marking along the length of the rows will help identify the little seedlings when they start to grow, so you can control the weeds when they are small.

Some things you might want to consider to get a good garden crop are mulching around your tomato plants for weed and disease control, for crops that have vines putting down mulch, black plastic or a pre-emergence herbicide to control weeds, rotating crop areas so plant diseases that are in the soil will not affect the next year’s crop, and think about the time involved in maintaining your garden so you don’t plant a bigger garden than your time allows and the garden becomes a summer weed patch.

No matter what you do; plan well, make it a fun adventure, and enjoy the beauty and bounty of your lawn and garden. The fertile soils of the Midwest will grow plants, we just have to decide which plants we want growing on the land we care for.

The weather is changing, and we want to get outdoors. What’s on your agenda?

Yard work may involve raking, seeding, planting, getting your garden ready, or repairing winter damage to your plants.

If you are going to be planting new trees or shrubs be sure to consider the following factors; know the space and height the plant will occupy when it is mature, is the plant adapted for our climate zone, and which plant varieties to avoid because of insect and disease problems (examples: Scotch pine, blue spruce and ash).

If your lawn has some areas that died or has some thin areas, you may want to fill in or reseed areas. The key factors to consider are: get the right seed for full sun or shade, prepare the site so you get good seed-to-soil contact when planting and seed as early as possible to get best weather conditions for the new seedlings.

If you are planting a garden, some of the crops that can be planted early (April 15) are potatoes, peas and radishes. Transplants may include broccoli, lettuce, kohlrabi or cauliflower. Be sure to have your garden site prepared so the soil is mellow and

Siehl award winner: Knowledge

Nelson responsible for agricultural progress Siehl Prize of Excellence

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Celebrating 50 years of contributions to southwest Minnesota, nearly 150 visitors attended the Golden Anniversary of the Southwest Research & Outreach Center at Wally Nelson Lamberton on Sept. 13, 2009. The special guest was Wally Nelson.

After a 1957 appropriation by the Minnesota legislature to purchase land, the Southwest Experiment Station launched in 1959 with Nelson as station superintendent, a position he held until his retirement in 1992.

Known by farmers throughout Minnesota and by farm reporters across the nation, Nelson had developed a tremendous reputation for “hands-on” research projects that farmers and agricultural business people could readily relate to.

He recalled how in that first year with a limited office and resources, “My first secretary worked off her kitchen table. When we closed for weekends, calls to the station came

direct to my house. So we pretty much lived with our work seven days a week in those early years,” Nelson recalled.

Farmers weren’t bashful about giving him advice in those early days.

Like when farmers told Nelson don’t bother to spend time on how to grow more soybeans per acre. Nelson chuckled, “One farmer simply told me, ‘we just produced a 500 million bushel soybean crop and nobody wants more beans. So get serious about corn. That’s our real future!”

Apparently Nelson and the Southwest Experiment Station did get serious about corn, as did experiment stations and seed companies across America. National corn yields were only 50 bushels per acre in 1959. Today corn is at the 164 bushel level nationwide with scientists calmly predicting 300-bushel corn by 2030.

“It’s incredible the science power you have today when 50 crop scientists start working on a given challenge,” Nelson said. The country’s first urea nitrogen plots started at the station under the tutelage of Nelson. Today these may be the oldest continuous urea plots in the world.

The Siehl Prize for Excellence in Agriculture recognizes living individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to the production of food and alleviation of hunger in three separate categories: production, agribusiness and knowledge.

The Siehl Prize is named in honor of philanthropist Eldon Siehl, a successful Minnesota businessman who wanted to educate the general public about where their food came from and to provide recognition for the dedicated people who make it their life’s work. Shortly before his death, Siehl was visited by Norman Borlaug, Nobel Peace Prize recipient who talked with Also as a station superintendent, Nelson didn’t dodge controversy such as the debate about chemically combined fertilizers versus blended fertilizers. “We questioned the industry’s claim that chemically combined products were better. Our research plots essentially told us that plant roots couldn’t tell the difference.”

Siehl about the significance of honoring those who are special achievers in agriculture.

Recognized as one of the most prestigious awards in agriculture, each winner or “laureate” receives a monetary award of $50,000 and a granite and glass sculpture created by artist Thomas Rose.

The recipients were announced as part of a March 15 celebration of National Ag Week. They will be honored at a May 26 ceremony on the St. Paul campus of the University of Minnesota.

— Dick Hagen, The Land staff writer Earning his doctorate in crop production from the University of Minnesota, Nelson credits much of the early research projects at the station directly to farmers. “They would come to me with questions, or simply to visit.

Nelson doesn’t shy from the global warming issue but instead questions if that isn’t already a factor contributing to higher corn yields. “A lot of our increase in corn yields comes about because we have such a high carbon dioxide level in our atmosphere. Corn thrives on carbon dioxide so we’ve got to pick out what complements agriculture and bring those ideas to the forefront.”

Wallace Nelson was the original superintendent at the Southwest Experiment Station, now titled the Southwest Research and Outreach Center near Lamberton. Wally was a tireless advocate for putting agricultural research to work for farmers. He led the station for nearly 40 years, contributing important breakthroughs in corn management, hail damage, soils and drainage.

Siehl award winner: Production agriculture

Conservation deep on this fifth generation farm

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer With a farm dating back to shortly after the Civil War and now a fifth generation mentor of Willow Lake Farm near Windom, Minn., Tony Thompson Tony Thompson represents perhaps the “deepest agricultural roots” that have been part of the Siehl Award designation created in the early 1990s.

Livestock, crops and conservation are the historical legacy of Willow Lake Farm. The beef cow-cattle feeding operation no longer exists, having

been replaced with extensive prairie seed production for restoration work at various sites across the state. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the Minnesota Historical Society, the Nature Conservancy and the Minnesota Highway Department are some of Thompson’s customers.

The “Conservation Fever” runs deep in the Thompson heritage. Both parents, plus grandparents and other family, members early on subscribed to preserving nature and the farming landscape as premier obligations of life. “Sustainability and environmentalism were words not yet used in the conservation lexicon

but that’s really what my family was all about generations back,” Thompson said.

“Ding Darling was a good friend of my great aunt.”

Thompson is a graduate of Windom High School and Montana State University at Bozeman, where he majored in agronomy. Why Montana State? “Because it’s a reputable Land Grant college and near enough to be reached in one grueling day’s drive,” Thompson said, with a smile.

Plus, it was far enough away from home to be disconnected from the daily concerns of life and challenges in Cottonwood and Jackson counties.

Today Willow Lake Farm encompasses 2,000 acres of timber and cropland plus about 3,000 acres of rented land for crop and prairie seed production. With Thompson, sustainability is obvious since he’s a 20-year veteran ridge-till farmer. “I followed strong leadership from Harvey and Brady Jass, Ken and Rick Olson, the Gohr Family and the Swanson family, all very helpful to my brother and me when we finished college and wanted to get into ridge tilling.”

He acknowledges many of the early ridge-till farmers are now back to conventional row-crop production partly because advances in machinery and herbicide technology have often eliminated the need for cultivation. He ridges most of his corn acres each year and because of RTK guidance equipment, staying on permanent, ridge-line rows is doable. Soybeans are no-till planted with glyphosate still the predominate herbicide. Resistance

weeds are not yet an issue, partly because Thompson uses a variety of “action modes” in his cropland strategies. He wonders if insect resistance might become an issue some day.

His take on the future of ag? Thompson frequently hosts foreign students, which inevitably generates conversations about the future. Perhaps reflecting most farmers’ opinion, he thinks it’s important that volatility of commodity prices lessens.

“Farming has become so capital intensive.

Risk management is now such a big issue.

Market stability is what we need to help establish our own comfort zone.”

New technologies, be that in seeds or machinery or production strategies, captures his attention. For instance “twinrow” planting with individual corn plants equidistant spaced and planters that can switch to different varieties on the go as the planter moves into different soil types get into Thompson’s thinking. So too does the idea of multiple crops, like wheat and soybeans or some form of an annual poly-culture utilizing commonly grown crops that perhaps could even be harvested simultaneously with seeds separated after harvest.

He admits their farming practices are already on the edge of being distracted with too many “experiments” in any given crop season. “But every year we try a few little changes, I suspect mostly to keep us on the cutting edge. Perhaps the See THOMPSON, pg. 17A

Great aunt maintained farm as water fowl sanctuary He mentions the Smith family and the Turner family, neighbors who also are enthusiastic supporters of land conservancy. A good example is the fact that between these three families at least six miles of continuous buffer strips have been installed. This area is the terminal moraine of the Des Moines River as it continues through Iowa to the Mississippi River. This is also the high point of the Watonwan River’s drainage to the Minnesota River.

“We’re right at 1,400 feet elevation here, Mankato is 759 feet and St. Paul (confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers) is 687 feet or thereabouts. So it’s amazing to think that half the fall from here to the Gulf of Mexico occurs between this area and Fort Snelling.”

Thompson has traveled, in particular to Argentina, where he has seen what happens to the land when there isn’t conservation cross-compliance. “Some tremendous agriculture down there but environmentally it’s a bit harsh. I’m grateful for the stability of our economy and our conservation ethic.”

He’s positive about trends in conservation farming in America, and the responsible attitude of farmers in general

when it comes to taking care of the land. “I think that comes from both better tools and better knowledge. Our Land Grant systems and our agencies mostly serve us well but we can’t be complacent.We can do much better. I think we have just begun to touch the most egregious problems that we as a species are facing here on Planet Earth.

“Yet I’m very optimistic and happy that we have as much peace in this world. And we are doing a better job of spreading the technology and knowledge and wealth around the world. Right now the daily news is horrible but if we have a peaceful world then we can more positively work on education and the issues needed to keep American and world agriculture capable of feeding a world population soon to be at 9 billion.”

Thompson credits Fairland Management Co. and Steve Sodeman, United Ag Tech at Windom, as being key partners in his farming program referring to them as “personal heroes” in his farming world. Three brothers, Eric, Horace and Mark, make up the Thompson clan. Tony does the day-to-day and year-to-year management with the three brothers providing commentary and “consulting services” if needed.

THOMPSON, from pg. 16A biggest risk was 20 years ago when we converted every crop acre to ridge till in one season. We had a well-written plan that documented potential risks, etc. But it all worked well and that’s why ridge till is still our system.”

He comfortably accepts the past three years as the “golden years” of agriculture, at least in his farming career. However when you adjust for currency values today versus 40 years ago, then some suggest the 1970s might have been even better.

Part of the Thompson conservation legacy ties directly to his immediate environment. Thompson points out that his original farm home sits on a piece of land now surrounded by water because of some wetland restoration work.

“So it’s been comfortable for me to grow up with an interest in water, water quality and birds. My great aunt, an avid hunter and sportswoman, back in 1926 started maintaining this farm as a sanctuary. Today it continues to be recognized by migratory flocks of birds, water fowl in particular.”

In cooperation with neighbors, this area now has six wetland areas totaling about 240 acres.

DeBriyn’s financial prowess started on humble 80 acres

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer Growing up on a small, part-time farm outside of Thief River Falls, Minn., sort of set the stage for Paul DeBriyn’s eventual move into the exciting world of agricultural finance.

He said, “My dad (Chevrolet dis- Paul DeBriyn trict manager) always had a strong love for agriculture. We raised a few cattle where we lived and bought an 80-acre farm near Karlstad. I think that farm grew more rocks than anything else.”

Purchase price for that 80 back in 1969 was $2,500 of which only about 30 acres was tillable.

“The rest was woods for deer hunting. But it did have a cabin and a John Deere B tractor which perhaps accounts for why I am half-deaf today,” DeBriyn chuckled, recalling the pounding, twocylinder engine of those early John Deeres.

So a combination of his Dad’s love for agriculture and young DeBriyn getting a taste of farming on

this Kittson County 80-acre spread directed him to the University of Minnesota in the early 1970s when the ag economy was humming in high gear.

“Russia had rather suddenly become a big buyer of U.S. farm goods; farm prices were booming and the scenario then was much like what we are experiencing today.”

DeBriyn’s early interest was to become a veterinarian but uncomfortable occurrences with injured animals soon discouraged him from a career with the animal kingdom. He changed to ag business administration, earning a combination business degree from the Carlson School of Management and an agricultural economics degree from the University of Minnesota, St. Paul campus.

His career in agricultural finance spans 34 years this May starting originally with the St. Paul Bank for Co-ops at their downtown St. Paul headquarters.

His early work involved financing cooperatives across the Upper Midwest. In 1987 he moved into financing production agriculture as CEO of a Rochester farm credit office, one of the predecessors to today’s AgStar Financial Services where DeBriyn

today serves as president and CEO. Charter territory of AgStar Financial is 69 counties, encompassing about 60 percent of Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin. Because of AgStar’s growing involvement into the grain, swine, dairy and ethanol industries, the firm today is doing business in 40 states, either directly or indirectly. And business is good; perhaps “booming once again” best fits today’s agricultural business climate.

AgStar does a yearly allocation to its shareholders.

From 2010 earnings almost $37 million was allocated from patronage earnings to be distributed back to shareholders over a seven- to 10-year time frame.

As an example, in early 2011 the remaining portion of $13.9 million allocated in 2001 was distributed in cash to shareholders. This strategy keeps shareholders directly involved in helping to capitalize their own co-op while participating in the financial leverage AgStar provides to its members.

Key issues persisting in rural Minnesota? DeBriyn directly lists not enough quality jobs to keep young people involved in their communities. He’s also concerned about the infrastructure for health care and for housing, particularly as it applies to the elderly and retired farmers. He also said that some rural

DeBriyn: Grain farmers have best balance sheets ever DEBRIYN, from pg. 18A areas don’t yet have access to high-speed internet capabilities.

Will agriculture continue to be the primary engine powering the economy of Minnesota and much of rural America? DeBriyn simply said, “there’s nothing more basic than food.We know the world’s appetite is increasing every day, and people in these developing countries are wanting more variety of foods, much like we enjoy in America. So, yes, I think agriculture continues to be the ‘golden spot’ for our economy going forward.

“I’m struck by the number of people from Wall Street calling me these days. They’re asking about investments in agriculture, future trends in agriculture, the importance of renewable energy from agriculture. It’s apparent they have a new regard for American agriculture as a great industry for the

foreseeable future.”

Even with this obvious optimism, DeBriyn doesn’t see land prices continuing to escalate. “There’s a point where land values are no longer sustainable.

We’re seen some great runs in land values but that’s not going to continue.”

Can agriculture double its productivity to meet the demands of a 9-billion world population by 2050? “It tells me we need to utilize all the world’s science. If you look at the continuum of agriculture over the past several years, I think this productivity index will keep right on increasing. We have so much dynamic research developing new products, new techniques and new strategies virtually every day it seems. For example, perhaps a perennial corn plant is on the horizon. That’s a rather mind-staggering concept.”

DeBriyn’s thoughts about the future challenges of agriculture feeding the world is best summarized with his statement: “We just need to allow good science to continue. And if most people in big cities, on Wall Street, even in downtown Minneapolis could see some of the technology that farmers use today, they would be in absolute awe. It truly is incredible the technical and mechanical and production skills

of America’s farmers today.”

The cost of money in 2012? “Higher” was his oneword response, adding, “I’ve been in this business for 34 years and this is the only period in time that I can remember when people haven’t been complaining about interest rates.” Yes, rates will go up; it’s simply a matter of time. “Interest rates up 1/2 to 1 percent over the next year or so are probable with higher rates likely to follow.”

Though not professing to being a weatherman, DeBriyn sees crop year 2011 potentially being the equal of 2010 providing appropriate rains at appropriate times. “Grain farmers right now have the best balance sheets I have ever seen, and they’re getting stronger. My concern is the livestock industry.

They’re at reasonable markets today but as grains get more expensive, will the livestock people still have some profit opportunities? Right now our cheap U.S. dollar is having a very positive impact on exports of all our agricultural products.”

Paul DeBriyn is president and CEO of AgStar Financial Services which took over a struggling agricultural lender in the 1980s and has now become an industry leader under the tutelage of DeBriyn. In addition to his business success, DeBriyn has been a leader in advocating for agriculture, developing leadership and scholarship programs, and in helping rural economies thrive.

By KEVIN SCHULZ The Land Editor

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.

In the following pages, you will find the stories of Jorgenson, Olson and Hislop. The stories on Harder, Henkels and Strege appeared in the April 1 issue of The Land.

Treasurer: Craig Jorgenson

After that one year at UMW, Jorgenson transferred to the main campus of the U of M, where he took general education classes. “I deviated away from the animal track and went to the human track. Human beings rather than animal beings,” he said. Jorgenson left the U of M to pursue a business degree from Lakewood Community College, before getting a two-year lab degree at Lakeland Academy. “Two different colleges, two different two-year degrees.”

Along the way he picked up computer training and went to work for a computer software company before returning to the lab setting. He currently works as a clinical analyst at the U of M Advanced Research and Diagnostic Laboratory, which performs lab work for researchers. As a clinical analyst, “I’m the go-between between IT (information technology) and the lab world.”

Jorgenson has made for himself a nice career of about 20 years in health care, about half of that time working with data.

“Thinking back to when I was growing up, I See JORGENSON, pg. 23A

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

Craig Jorgenson, or CJ, learned early on not to let setbacks dictate his life, and if he truly wanted something he should ask for it and then keep fighting for it.

Jorgenson joined the Milaca High School FFA chapter and “pretty much got involved in every angle that I could.” Coming from a theater and speech background, the young Jorgenson started his FFA experience in the speech contests.

“As I found more opportunities, I’d bring it up to the adviser and he’d say ‘let’s do it’. I brought up the Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C., so another kid and I and the adviser went to D.C. for a week. ... you can do a lot more than just judging” in FFA. Those experiences led Jorgenson to pursue officer positions within the chapter led by adviser W. James Hendrickson and Dean Beyers. A couple of runs at higher chapter offices resulted in only “lower-rung” offices — reporter was the highest chapter office he ever achieved.

“I think the chapter people saw me as someone who was on everything,” Jorgenson reflects.

“Some people just try to keep other people down.”

Jorgenson would not be held down. If he couldn’t crack the chapter office positions he desired, why not take it higher. He went on to be a district officer and the Region 4 president. After achieving the region president and then the state treasurer positions, he said he didn’t wear his higher achievements with a boast or gloating. “I went back (to my chapter) and wanted to bring them along. You can’t hold it against them. I tried to see things through their eyes and keep looking forward,” he said.

Going into the selection process for both the regional and state office, Jorgenson said he was comfortable with the outcome, even if he would not be selected. “I learned that you could go one of two ways if you didn’t get what you wanted. You could get negative and blame others, or you can go through the process of ‘what were they looking for?’ and grow from there.”

Well, he didn’t have to choose either, since he was selected on his first run at state office while a freshman at the University of Minnesota, Waseca, in the veterinary technician program. “I was shocked that I got in on the first time.”

Olson: FFA leadership role gave a leg up in life Reporter: David Olson David Olson’s dream job would have been working in public relations after he graduated from the University of Minnesota.

But, as we all know, dreams don’t always come true.

Olson started at the U of M in journalism, but switched to a speech-communications major, graduating with a degree in 1988. I was looking for jobs in PR, but they were hard to find,” he said. Realizing any job was better

than no job, Olson went to work for Dayton’s in human resources. “I really enjoyed that,” staying for seven years at Dayton’s.

Then came an opportunity to join the family business, joining his father-inlaw in the Hudson, Wis., County Market store.

In his position as assistant store manager, Olson has been able to use many of the communications and leadership skills he learned in FFA. Over his 16 years with the store, Olson has seen his share of grocery prices fluctuating, much like the cur-

Jorgenson: Refuse to settle In addition to the officer experience, FFA presented Jorgenson with many opportunities that he otherwise would not have been given. He remembers that while in Washington, D.C., the FFA group was supposed to tour the Smithsonian Institution, “but they asked if we would like to go greet President (Ronald) Reagan as he was coming back from Europe. Of course, we all wanted to go welcome back the president, and it was a good ‘photo op’ for them with all the ‘blue jackets’ at the airport.”

He also spoke fondly of an exchange program that was set up between FFA chapters, and Jorgenson was paired up with an FFA member from a Connecticut chapter. “I went out there and he would come here for a week to 10 days.”

Jorgenson’s Connecticut visitor “was blown away by the size of our farm” in contrast to the smaller acreages of the New England states. “When he was here we hit the entire state,” Jorgenson recalls. “Then I flew with him for 10 days there, and we visited his home farm, and went up into Maine and Vermont.”

All of these experiences in FFA and in his life were accomplished, all because Craig Jorgenson refused to accept rejection and settle only for what was given to him.

JORGENSON, from pg. 21A never thought that I’d be a ‘city person,’ and now look at where I’m at.” CJ and his wife, Kris, are raising Jakob, a high school junior, and Jillian, an eighth grader in Stillwater, where they moved 5 1/2 to 6 years ago.

Before the move to Stillwater, the family lived in Maplewood, “and their school didn’t have an ag program. We wanted to put any tool in front of them they could latch on to. I knew Stillwater had a good ag program, I knew the adviser was good and had a good robust program.”

According to CJ, Jakob’s passion is science and music, while Jillian is big into animals, with being a veterinarian her ultimate goal.

“We told both kids that you can’t just put all your eggs into one basket,” Jorgenson said. “Find a half dozen things that you really enjoy, and then pick three to really focus on, then you’ll end up doing something that you really enjoy and can excel at.”

Jorgenson credits his parents, John and LaJean, for getting him involved in FFA. “I was in speech, theater, football, basketball, wrestling, I did everything,” he said. “I knew we had FFA, so I talked to my folks about it. Mom was in 4-H and Dad had been in FFA, so they had a friendly banter.”

Hislop: With self-confidence, there are no limits Sentinel: Scott Hislop Scott Hislop was sort of thrown into a leadership role with the Mapleton High School Future Farmers of America chapter.

“We had gone through some temporary advisers, and there were tight

budgets and the program was on the verge of being cut,” Hislop said from his operation’s office. “That enhanced some of our leadership; we said ‘no, we’re going to have a chapter.’”

That led to the FFA members themselves spearheading the FFA program and getting involved. Hislop took the

local involvement and branched out to the district and regional level.

“Joel Moore was a mentor, if you will. He was a year older and was chapter president before me and he encouraged me to go to the D.C. conference, that was a springboard to getting more involved.

“Something I wanted to improve on and thought I could have an influence and make it better,” he said. “That was a motivation factor; I knew of some members that weren’t super active and thought we could try to get them more active, and it worked to some extent.”

The year Hislop spent as the regional vice president, “I knew I wanted to take it further. That was a real confidence booster for me.” He spoke fondly of the things that were accomplished that year as regional vice president. “Felt we were fairly creative in doing things. We held the first regional Greenhand night, and that was fairly well attended.”

Hislop and Craig Jorgenson were both regional vice presidents at the same time, so it offered a unique perspective when those two were on the same state officer slate. “We were good friends and both had strong FFA backgrounds,” he said. “Kim (Strege) was district 13 president when I was District 14 president.”

As the state officer team, the six individuals came together as a team, and

Hislop thought they worked well as a team. “We recognized everyone’s strengths and tried to build on those.”

Hislop admits a little disappointment when, after serving as a regional vice president for one year, he was slated for the Sentinel spot on the team. “That gave me a little incentive and I developed my personality.”

“Just think of the things you gain by doing anything you want to do, and setting your mind to it,” he said. “You need that confidence to achieve all you want ... too many sell themselves short. There is no limit to what you can do. In business it’s the same way.”

After Hislop set his mind to becoming a state officer and achieving that, he then conquered another lifelong goal — to become a farmer.

Harvey and Audrey Hislop raised Scott and his two older sisters — Jan and Cheryl — on a farm just south of Beauford. “At one time we had hogs, chickens and cattle, when I was real young,” he said. “Dad got rid of the chickens, and we sold the last load of cattle when I was a senior in high school.” The hogs stayed, and the operation has grown. During his last year in high school the family had 80 sows in their farrow-to-finish operation.

Today, the operation markets about 70,000 pigs annually, from a number of sites across southern Minnesota. Scott See HISLOP, pg. 25A

Adam was an FFA member in high school, and Erin is taking some ag classes, and Scott hasn’t talked to his children that much about his FFA involvement. “I want them to be individuals. I don’t want them to relive something just because I did it.”

Scott sees how much he has grown, and achieved, thanks to his FFA involvement. He sees the importance of networking, with communication skills once again coming into play.

“Leadership skills are used every day in your career, your marriage. I don’t

know of any other activity that has that same effect as FFA.” Hislop also sees the importance of being politically active, and that stems from his FFA days. “It’s important for the leaders to know who you are before you need them, regardless what side of the aisle you’re on.”

took hold and in spring of 1978, Minnesota’s first wild turkey hunting season was held. More than 10,000 hopeful hunters applied for the 420 available permits. Just 94 birds were harvested.

The Seven Mile Creek bird release in 1985 was the first in south central Minnesota. Three more releases using New York transplants — at Blakely, East Union and Rapidan — soon followed.

Richard Kimmel, a wildlife biologist who recently retired from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, had brokered an arrangement with New York that would swap four or five Hungarian partridges for each turkey.

“Fundraising for the stocking was a pretty informal deal,” Kimmel recalled.

“The Key City Conservation Club, with members like Jack Jones, seeded the pot initially and started pulling in donations from other smaller sports-

men’s groups in the area.” The National Wild Turkey Federation also assisted in the bird releases.

Kimmel said the traditional view that vast acreages of unbroken woods were needed for wild turkeys faded as populations thrived in a mix of woods and agricultural land.

As wild turkey numbers increased in original release sites, birds were livetrapped from those areas and transplanted elsewhere.

In just four short years, the Minnesota River Valley flock had grown sufficiently to allow its first spring hunting season. Nowadays, huntable turkey populations can be found as far north as Red Lake in northwest Minnesota.

Kurt Haroldson, a DNR wildlife biologist who presently serves as the state’s turkey guru, likened the wild turkey to the wolf.

Hope you’re ready for the birds coming your way this spring Should I be feeding birds at this time?

Yes, it is time to start feeding the birds, if you haven’t fed them this winter. A mixture of salflower seeds and sunflower seeds is a good mixture. If we have rain or snow, make sure to put fresh feed in the feeders. Also make sure you provide fresh water all season.

Now that the birds are making their nests, is there something I can do to help the birds?

Yes, spread some pet hair, human hair and small twigs throughout the yard.

Dryer lint from your clothes dryer is also good for building nests. The Blue Jays are great for robbing any other bird nests during the summer. Also make sure to clear the small sticks from any bird houses you may have in your yard.

Insects may be in the boxes from last season’s nests. It’s always great to start with clean bird houses.

THE YIELD “I felt important all dressed

By Sue Peterson up in my little girl dress. It was Saturday night and I had just taken a bath with my sister Debby. We had running water in the house, a luxury many of our neighbors had as well. It was no easy task to keep children clean on the farm. All of us girls played outside in the barn, haystack, mud puddles, or other dirty places.

“It was the haystack in which the hogs rooted out openings to keep themselves warm in the winter.

They actually had tunnels in the hay that went all the way through the stack. One day I woke up and the hay stack was gone. Dad explained the stack could cave in and we might be trapped inside. I was glad he told us about the danger; I knew he really wanted us to be safe.

“The next thing he warned me about was climbing up the elevator that Dad used to lift bales of hay into the barn. ‘You girls stay down,’ he warned my three sisters and me. Again I was glad Dad cared enough to want to keep his girls safe from harm.

“I heard my parents talking one night, ‘This farm is not for sale, but there is one near Garden City that we could buy,’ my Dad said. I felt important going with my parents and Grandpa to look at the farm that was for sale. In my bib overalls, I imagined I looked just like Grandpa.

It was very important to have the right amount of these in the feed, so that the cows could give lots of milk. I was glad Dad trusted me with this job!

“Garden City School was five miles from our farm, so I had to take the bus to and from school. The bus stop was one half mile from home, so I did walk a ways each day.

“As winter turned to spring, the river and the ditches along the road were full of floating pieces of ice. I said to my Dad, ‘It would be fun to ride on the floating ice.’ My Dad warned me, ‘Don’t you dare go out on the ice.’

“As I was on my way home the next day, our neighbor shouted, ‘Don’t go in the ditch,’ but it was too late, I was already up to my knees in the water. Dad had said don’t go on the ice, but it was so tempting!

“Mom asked, ‘What happened to you?’ ‘The wind blew me into the water in the ditch,’ I lied. Mom looked at Dad with a knowing look.

Auto eatery f you like cars, you will feel IGarage right at home eating at The in Springfield. Housed in a 1911 building that is on the National Register of Historic Places and originally a garage for Ford Model A and Model T automobiles, The Garage is a unique eating place in this prairie town.

Cory Brand owned Springfield Lanes in the adjacent building, and wanted to add food service. The former garage had served as a parts store in the 1980s and then was used for storage. The company that purchased the building continues to use the rear portion for storage, but leases the front to Brand for his café.

It was a challenge remodeling a building on the National Register, Brand said, since the exterior could not be changed.

The glass block windows had to be replaced with original looking windows. After using the garage door to clean out the premises, he replaced it with a wall that from the outside looks like the old door.

Inside, he could do as he pleased. The original tin ceiling remains, but he covered the cement block walls. His own woodworking skills installed oak wainscoting and a border.

Grain Angles Grain Outlook Livestock Angles Market not buying Markets exciting, These are days of hope, realism USDA surprise volatile The livestock markets continue to be as exciting as ever. Both the cattle and hogs have provided a lot of challenges to both the bulls and the bears. The volatility for these markets is not expected to go away anytime soon.

The cattle market appears to have found another top as we moved into the month of April. It leaves the question if this will eventually become the spring high or does the market rebound and continue higher as it has at previous highs.

With the beef cutouts over $190.00 cwt. basis choice, the JOE TEALE domestic demand has certainly Broker decreased reflected in the boxed Great Plains Commodity Afton beef movement which has dropped substantially over the past few weeks. With the last couple of cold storage reports showing beef in storage increasing, it makes one think that the supply is quickly building and would offset any current demand.

From a seasonal standpoint, this is the time that we normally see a seasonal top and prices drift lower into the summer months. Once again caution must be advised as managed money continue to dominate the Futures market. Considering that this managed money is considerably long the cattle market, sharp moves could continue to be the norm in both directions.

Because the cash trade faltered in the first week in April, producers should be leery of the market and use recovery rallies in the market to consider taking protection at these higher levels.

Living in Minnesota and enduring the long winter, we all find spring brings forth a sense of new life and hope for a new session. I remember four years ago when I experienced my first Minnesota spring following a long winter. I found people around town to be just downright giddy on that first warm, sunny day.

This year the prices for new crop grain remain unusually high and offer profit margins that are hard to imagine. This adds to the excitement of anticipating the possibilities that the new crop can bring to our businesses. The producers of grain TOM NEHER are in a profitable place in the AgStar VP Agribusiness agricultural economy. & Grain Specialist Rochester The fact that the end-users of our grain are still able to capture profit margins at these price levels is amazing. We have to wonder when this will change. It is the job of the markets to ration the supply and demand. If supply remains tight and demand remains strong, some sector will find profit margins hard to capture. When this happens demand will be rationed. This will cause financial challenges for those on the back side of the rationing.

We on the grain production side of the business need to remember that our day in the cycle will come. We will find ourselves on the receiving end of negative margins. We must capture the positive margins while the market offers us the opportunity.

It is how we manage those profit margins that will define and shape our future. Will we be willing to build a war chest of working capital and pay a few

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

The following market analysis is for the week ending April 8.

CORN — Another U.S. Department of Agriculture report, another surprise. The puzzling thing about this surprise was that the market doesn’t seem to be buying into it. The average trade guess for 2010-11 ending corn stocks was 586 million bushels going into the report.

The USDA left ending stocks unchanged at 675 million bushels. The only switch on the balance sheet was a decrease in feed/residual of 50 million bushels and an increase of 50 PHYLLIS NYSTROM Country Hedging million for ethanol use. Ethanol St. Paul use, if realized, will be a record 5.0 billion bushels. The smaller feed usage number was the baffling part of the report.

Just last month the grain stocks report implied higher feeding. The USDA, in an accompanying explanation, said that hog and poultry feeders will use larger amounts of wheat in their rations this summer and that new crop corn will be available for use due to increased corn acres in the southern regions. The implication is that feed/residual usage for the second half of the marketing year would be the second lowest in the last 35 years, according to researchers.

These comments are the ones that I believe prompted traders to discount the USDA’s new ending stocks figure. The ending stocks-to-use ratio remains at 5 percent. The average farm price is forecasted at $5.20 to $5.60 from $5.15 to $5.65 previously. On the

THE LAND, APRIL 15, 2011

Nystrom: Soybeans able to stem their lower slide NYSTROM, from pg. 1B world front, corn ending stocks went from 123.1 million metric tons to 122.4 mmt. China’s corn import number was raised to 1.5 mmt from 1.0 mmt last month.

The European Central Bank raised interest rates this week by 25 basis points. This pushed the U.S. dollar even lower for the move. The prospect of a U.S. government shutdown added to pressure. A big 7.1 aftershock in Japan in the second half of the week and a resulting sharp, short-lived break reminded traders that the market is capable of corrections. Exports this week were neutral at 24.4 million and 7.5 million bushels for old and new crop respectively.

The USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service announced this week that weekly crop reports and crop surveys are on the table for discussion for possible funding cutbacks.

OUTLOOK: It’s puzzling why the USDA would account for new crop corn to be used in this year’s feed rations when we haven’t even gotten the planters rolling at full pace yet.

This leads to a lot of skepticism by traders over the unchanged ending stocks number. Uncertainty leads to volatility. The perception for lower ending stocks on future reports should keep support under the market. We’re not sure how a government shut-down would affect government reports, including crop conditions and

sales information, if the government actually closes this weekend.

We get our first glimpse of the 201112 balance sheets on the May 11 crop production report. New contract highs were set this week: in the May at $7.73 1/4, closing at $7.68 and 32 cents higher on the week; December corn pushed to $6.53 and closing there, up 15 1/2 cents for the week. The uptrend remains intact as old crop corn eyes $8 plus per bushel and new crop $7 per bushel.

SOYBEANS — This week’s USDA balance sheets were neutral for soybeans, but a weaker US dollar provided support. The 2010-11 ending stocks figure of 140 million bushels was close to the average guess of 137 million bushels on this month’s USDA report.

U.S. exports were cut 10 million bushels on increased competition from South America. The crush was lowered by 5 million bushels, seed fell 2 million, but residual jumped 17 million to balance the other usage reductions.

The ending stocks-to-use ratio remains at 4.2 percent. The national average on-farm price narrowed/fell from $11.20-$12.20 to $11.25-$11.75.

World ending stocks were pegged at 60.94 mmt versus pre-report estimates of 58.94 mmt. China’s soybean import expectation was unchanged at 57 mmt.

Brazil’s soybean production was 72 mmt, up 2 mmt from the last estimate and more in line with other estimates.

Argentina’s production was unchanged at 49.5 mmt.

Soybeans struggled this week on disappointing exports, weakening demand, South American competition, and a lack of news for the bulls. In spite of a strong finish to the week after the USDA report, May beans were Exports this week were only 2.8 million bushels for old crop and 4.2 million for new crop.

OUTLOOK: Soybeans were able to stem their lower slide after the crop report was issued, but May beans were still 1 1/2 cents lower on the week at $13.92 1/4 per bushel. November soybeans were 6 3/4 cents higher for the week, settling at $13.96 per bushel. If the weather allows for growers to push

corn acres higher, soybeans should be able to respond with higher prices. In general, beans are a follower higher even as China eyes South American supplies.

Nystrom’s notes: Contract changes for the week ended April 1: Minneapolis May wheat was 30 3/4 cents higher, Kansas City 26 1/4 cents higher, but Chicago was the leader gaining 38 cents. Crude oil jumped $4.85 per barrel this week, settling at $112.79, heating oil up 18 1/2 cents, gasoline 11 cents higher, and natural gas lost 32 cents. As of mid-afternoon April 8 the Dow was down 45 points for the week, the U.S. dollar index had fallen 0.78 points for the week, and gold was up $43.10 for the week after hitting a new all-time high of $1,475.50 per ounce.

Hogs continue to advance TEALE, from pg. 1B The hog market has continued to advance even though it has been a very erratic advance. The cash market has been the catalyst behind the strength as of late, with exports continuing to expand reflecting the interest by the packers to accumulate live inventory.

The pork cutouts have been edging higher and have advanced past the $90.00 cwt. level without losing significant volume in the product movement.

Seasonally the hog market stays firm into the month of May, so further strength may come in the weeks ahead.

The Futures market is well ahead of the cash and might not be able to show the same type of advance that the cash

market may see. The cold storage has expanded in the past few months, which raises some concerns and could cut short the typical seasonal rally.

The other problem with the Futures market is the fact that managed money is very long this market and if this money decides to vacate the market it could have an adverse effect on the Futures prices. Producers should keep an eye on the market and use the very good premiums offered in the deferred months to protect inventories.

One last comment about the demand in the meat markets: If gas prices continue to rise along with all the other advances in food and clothing prices, consumer funds will be stretched thin and may have an affect on meat demand as budgets are squeezed.

Build, maintain war chest NEHER, from pg. 1B taxes? Will we try to avoid taxes and lock our capital into steel? Will we lock our capital up in high-priced land? The answers to these questions will position us to face the days when we are on the back side of the profit cycle.

If we face hardship in the future and our capital is locked into steel or land, we will be forced to liquidate those assets to raise cash. It is in times like these that we find the economics of selling not to be in our favor. If we have built and maintained a war chest of working capital and the hardship occurs, we will not be forced to liquidate our assets to handle the challenges. We must find the balance

between making sound investments in our business in midterm assets like machinery, long-term assets like land and shot-term assets like working capital. It is the working capital that will help protect our other assets during challenging times.

As I travel the back roads of Minnesota, I can see the farm machinery being prepared for the spring planting season. I can feel that same giddy feeling in the air, as we prepare to plant the seeds of hope for a new crop. The miracle of life that springs forth from the earth is a blessing to behold. Most of us, we have experienced this excitement many times before. Yet we cannot help but marvel as the seeds sprout and emerge from the black Minnesota soil.

Looking at sheep industry opportunities, threats years. This creates tremendous opportunity for sheep producers to make large profits and to expand their operations.

One concern to our industry’s future is that due to the lack of sheep numbers we have a fragile infrastructure to support sheep producers. For years, we have lost lamb processors, wool mills, feed company interest, veterinarian interest, shearers, research support and consumers. We are now at the point that we could start to lose entire segments of our infrastructure if numbers drop any further. As a matter of fact, lamb prices are far more likely to go down because we simply lose consumers, who give up trying to find and purchase lamb, than from increasing supply too much.

Right now, the biggest need and challenge for our industry is increasing the number of lambs produced and ewe numbers. This is the key to keeping

MARKETING

the infrastructure that helps keep producers in business. The industry recognized this about a year ago when the American Sheep Industry Association started a “re-build sheep inventory” initiative. Many of the efforts have focused on increasing ewe numbers but this may be unrealistic.

If we have any hope of increasing sheep numbers, it has to happen by increasing our national lambing percentage produced from the current rate of 108 percent. If we could increase the lambing percentage by 10 percent to 118 percent, we would produce about 350,000 more lambs annually. This would allow the industry to keep 4 percent more replacements annually and

put more than 200,000 head of additional lambs on the market each year.

If we could do this for five years, we would increase our breeding ewe numbers by 18 percent and our annual market lamb production by 9 percent. This would have a huge impact on keeping our infrastructure intact and still have a profitable sheep industry.

Over the past few months, I have had the opportunity to speak to several sheep producer groups about being in “the best of times and the worst of times.” We have never had more opportunity to be profitable and successful than we have right now. But, on the other hand, the threats to our industry’s future have never been greater. Let’s look further at the opportunities and the concerns we are facing.

Currently, our industry has record lamb prices due almost entirely to the fact that we are extremely short on lambs. It is estimated that between our domestic lamb production and imported lamb we are only supplying 66 percent of the U.S. lamb market demand. This is a case of demand far exceeding supply and, because of this, lamb prices are high. The reality is that there is no way of increasing supply enough to meet demand which means that lamb prices should stay high for the next several

Variations in nutrient content can

MARKETING

occur in ingredients, particularly coproduct ingredients such as DDGS and yearly differences in corn crops. Diets should be formulated based on actual farm performance data to ensure that optimal nutrient levels are being met without under- or over-feeding expensive nutrients.

A useful tool for determining farmspecific nutrient needs is the National Swine Nutrition Guide and accompanying software that estimates nutrient recommendations and formulates diets.

The guide is available online through the University of Minnesota Swine Extension website at www.extension.umn.edu/swine.

Feeders need to be managed to minimize feed waste — therefore feeder settings should be checked daily and adjustments made when needed. A feeding program should contain multiple diets (phases) during the lifetime of the pig, allowing diets to more closely match actual pig nutrient needs, since nutrient requirements of the pig will change over time based on age, body weight, health, productive phase and a number of other environmental factors.

Also, if possible, separate pigs by gender and feed separately. Beginning at around 80 to 100 pounds bodyweight, differences in nutrient requirements can be observed between barrows and gilts. Barrows will consume more feed and grow faster, reaching market weight soonest. However, gilts have much leaner growth, and although their overall daily weight gain is less, daily lean gain is similar to barrows and thus amino acid needs must be met in a smaller amount of feed.

Finally, genetics should be reviewed and kept current. Pigs that have leaner growth rates are much more efficient in converting feed to bodyweight gain, and thus at times when feed costs are high, improving feed conversion becomes even more important. There are a number of feed management and design areas that pork producers have and will continue to need to review and improve in this new age of increased grain and feed costs.

It is those most knowledgeable of strategies to improve efficiency and return for production who will continue to survive and thrive in the pork industry for years to come.

Chris Christie to oppose legislation in his state that would allow direct sales of raw milk to the public. It is reminiscent of a situation a year ago when Wisconsin’s governor vetoed a similar bill.

“If New Jersey passes this bill and Gov. Christie signs it, the Garden State would join about 24 other states that allow some form of raw milk sales,” the NMPF’s Chris Galen said.

The letter, sent to Christie and the Senate leader, challenges them to consider public health before making their decision, Galen said, “because allowing the sale of raw milk, even if it’s just at the farm level, is a step backward and See DAIRYLINE, pg. 9B

nation breedings. Straw information required by the registry replaces some of the items necessary in natural breedings. Tattoos cannot be read, so information is filed with the registry that the tattoos were indeed read and verified against the registration certificate. The buck may no longer be owned, so straw information needs to have items that need to be known to uniquely identify the collection and its filed information. Until recently, this would include a registration ID but with internet availability of names and registration IDs, the one piece of information that assures the straw’s specific identity is correlating the date of the processing with that on the filed form.

These requirements are the gold standard for assuring maximum accuracy. Today, the National Association of Animal Breeders continues to require, through their Certified Semen Services program, this information for tracking and identifying semen. This rigorous attention to identification was needed, especially in pre-DNA profile times. Even with DNA typing of AI sires being a mandatory requirement of all dairy cattle associations, this information is still needed to assure the integrity in an AI program.

I’ve recently been made aware of a concept termed an “archival collection”.

This is a collection where the owner knows the quality of the collection may be less than desirable or the buck is young but still wants insurance in case something happens to a potentially promising buck. This semen may be labeled in such a way that identifies it as such. Examples might be an incomplete name, or barn name, or some other alteration of the general requirements.

This may account for some continued difficulties in registering kids from AI breedings. In addition, even quality assurance programs, such as the NAAB’s CSS program only require that records be kept for six years, yet semen can be stored for much more time than that and go through several owners.

So keeping this in mind, it seems a good time to provide information for buyers and sellers of semen to follow to avoid registration problems once kids arrive.

Tips for buyers • Know exactly what you’re buying.

Read the seller’s description and if there is a photo/photocopy/scan of the straw, take a look at it. Ask that the information required (name and registration ID, date of collection, processor information) is available. Ask if there is a copy of the buck collection form, or if the processor name is known. Ask if

there is a known DNA profile on file.

• If the processor can be contacted and there is no form, you may want to check with them to make sure a form has been filed with the registry. A quick screen check can be done by logging on to adgagenetics.org to see that a collection is on file. However this is broad and does not contain the specifics you will need for registration.

• Be skeptical if the price sounds too low to be realistic or it is being offered free. Do not purchase what may be an archival collection.

• Find out about the seller. Were or are they the owner of the buck? Are they a business in good standing keeping appropriate records?

• Save all transaction information.

Document the seller’s identification, the straw’s detailed description, your purchase price. Save your receipts.

Tips for sellers • Advertise straws as meeting registry requirements and have the documentation available for the buyer. If possible, include a photo/photocopy/ scan of the straw, as well as the buck collection form.

• Have the documentation that DNA is on file or find out if it has been done.

• Do not sell what may be semen from an archival collection or have incomplete information on the straw.

• When describing, state whether there is a known collection form on file or if it falls into other areas of acceptance per guidelines.

• Provide a receipt and document the transaction for your own files.

Ultimately it is the doe owner’s responsibility to ensure the semen being used meets American Dairy Goat Association guidelines. Asking for assurance up front regarding the usability of the semen for registry purposes and for a receipt along with keeping good records will allow both sellers and buyers to minimize recurring problems and increase the likelihood of receiving help if problems arise. Members should treat semen sales and use just as they do live sires and maintain a permanent file of transactions. Using these tips may eliminate the risk of not being able to register the offspring or incurring the cost for DNA typing (although still would be a good idea.).

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

I was recently reviewing the notes I had taken from a presentation given by Danny Klinefelter, professor and ag Extension economist from Texas A and M University. I have read Klinefelter’s comments and opinions on agriculture for years and have appreciated his ability to see through the clutter and listen through the noise. The part of his presentation that I will focus upon here was “Back to Reality” and is as follows.

“The function of a competitive market is It is quite obvito drive the economic ous that, with return to the average some excepproducer to breakeven tions, the agrithrough supply and demand responses in culture sector is both input and output marcurrently not in kets. In equilibrium the top equilibrium. ... end are profitable and As a manager, growing, the average are what decisions hanging in there and the bottom end are losing do you need to money and exiting the make today to industry. Business success help ensure and survival depend upon your business continuous improvement at viability for the a pace necessary to stay future? ahead of the pack.”

One of the quick takehome messages found above reflects one of the longheld premises of Farm Business Management education in that business success and survival depends heavily upon continuous improvement to keep our business ahead of the pack or average. We must continue this improvement if American agriculture is to compete globally in the future.

The more subtle message that reflects well in today’s volatile and turbulent times addresses the fact that one of the functions of a competitive market is drive returns to a breakeven point for the average producer through changes in input costs and output values. It is quite obvious that, with some exceptions, the agriculture sector is currently not in equilibrium.

Where will your business be financially when this current phase of being out of equilibrium comes back into balance?

As a manager, what decisions do you need to make today to help ensure your business viability for the future? What strategies can you use to keep your business from becoming below average when the force of the competitive market drives economic return back to break-even?
