New applications of modern technologies — such as those described in Land staff writer Dick Hagen’s crop sensor story on Page 10 — are revolutionizing agriculture by reducing farmers’ fuel costs, time spent in the field and environmental impact on the land, water and air.

By Tom Royer increasing the time I spend on jogging and bike paths. History may not be on my side for a complete healthiness overhaul, but I figure I’ve got a fighting chance this time because ... well, because I’m a serious stats geek.

If you can track it, map it, time it and graph it, I’m all over it. (I was a member of my high school track and cross country teams as a proud, low-impact, clipboard-toting manager.) So when I learned about an “app” for my BlackBerry that utilizes its built-in GPS capabilities to monitor athletic activities, I installed it on my smartphone almost immediately.

You select what kind of workout you’re doing — walking, running, cycling, whatever — then hit “start” and take off. When you hit “stop” the app automatically uploads the data to a website where

you can view statistics on that activity, including duration, mile splits, elevation changes, calories burned and a map of your route. If you buy a little attachment it’ll even track your heart rate.

My heart, of course, is of particular concern to me since having a couple of fancy stents placed inside it nearly a year ago. Those high-tech devices saved my life then, and perhaps my new device will help extend it slightly by encouraging me to keep my heart rate up.

I went running last week for the first time since before having those stents installed. The previous time I had tried, unsuccessfully, a month or so before the procedure, the crushing feeling of helplessness I experienced was humbling. This time around my heart felt strong and up to the challenge; the rest of my out-of-shape body, meanwhile, strongly questioned my choice of free-time activity and called it a day after covering a mere 1.02 miles in 11 minutes, 44 seconds.

Why Tobey Farmer gave his ‘last full measure of devotion’

OPINION

could surmount the carnage, he said, if “this nation” had the resolve to do so.

People like Tobey Farmer had that resolve; he left safe, sleepy Illinois to fight European militarism in wartorn France where, one day shy of a future, he died.

He did not die so special interests could take this nation to the edge of financial ruin.

He did not die so billion-dollar corporate juggernauts, like global meatpackers, could buy favors that fit their interests and filled their bank accounts.

He did not die for politicians to ride to power on oceans of campaign cash and then, standing in the shadow of the flag, boldly and falsely claim their independence of its influence.

He and all 1,317,700 war-dead did, however, give their last full measure so that government of, by and for the people would remain paramount to rich, powerful and corrosive special interests.

If you couldn’t remember Tobey Farmer this Memorial Day, at least remember that.

“Where Farm and Family Meet”

SCHOLARSHIP, from pg. 2 In addition to Mike, Ann and Katie, Andrew has two other brothers — Mark and Paul.

Obviously, FFA has been a big part of the young Miron’s life, but he has done more than wear the blue corduroy throughout his high school career.

In addition to his helping on the Miron family crop and dairy farm, Andrew also wrestled, played baseball and has been involved in 4-H. He said that after FFA he received his greatest satisfaction from his work with St. John the Baptist Church.

“Church has been a big part of my life,” Andrew said. “Mom and Dad always stressed the importance of church.” Andrew has been a lector, Bible School teacher, usher, fall festival volunteer, altar server and has been a member of the church’s choir.

This fall, Andrew will be heading south to the University of Minnesota, where he plans to major in animal science and pre-veterinary medicine. “I plan on getting my veterinary degree, then come home to farm and then work as a vet, too.”

Methodist Women offer harmonious recipe collection Cookbook Corner

By SARAH JOHNSON The Land Correspondent A large brick church with an American flag and a wide green expanse of lawn in front graces the cover of “Cooking With Harmony,” a fund-raising cookbook from the Harmony State Line United Methodist Women. The chocolate-brown church with bright white details, flanked by towering trees, is sturdy, square and tall: a Midwestern icon on Main Street USA. The equally sturdy, hard-cover, easy-clean cookbook has been done in a three-ring binder style and is quite the bargain at $15 (plus shipping) for almost 700 recipes. Funds raised support the church women’s never-ending projects and missions. This is a great cookbook for beginners, since it has just about everything in every category, but

(Certainly not all the recipes in this cookbook are “quickies”; lots and lots of wonderful “slow food” is also featured.)

■ A hearty restaurant-style sauté, Easy Chicken Bistro makes you feel like a fancy chef with just a few simple ingredients and a half-hour, tops. No need to tell anyone how easy it was; just mop your brow and enjoy their happy faces. I whipped this up one evening, complemented with a bagged salad, canned mandarin oranges and buttered bread, and we called it a feast. I called it fast and fabulous. Four out of four “yums” from the Johnson clan.

Easy Chicken Bistro Submitted by Holly Koliha Nelson 2 teaspoons oil 3 cups sliced mushrooms 1 onion, chopped 1 can stewed tomatoes, undrained 1/4 cup Italian dressing 3 tablespoons tomato paste 4 boneless chicken breasts 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded 2 sliced cooked bacon, crumbled Heat oil in pan; add mushrooms and onions. Cook 5 minutes; add stewed tomatoes, Italian dressing and tomato paste. Add chicken; cover. Simmer for 12 minutes or until chicken is done. Top with cheese and bacon; simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes until cheese is melted.

■ As I write this column I can see rhubarb tips peeking out of the mud in our miry backyard. I strongly feel that you cannot eat too much rhubarb. It’s absolutely my favorite in jams, pies, breads and desserts.

It’s pretty much free and plentiful and easy to pluck. Early settlers called it the “pie plant” and must have thought it was manna from heaven after a “fruit-less” winter. If you don’t have a rhubarb patch, you know someone who does (trust me) and you can take theirs. Nobody wants this lovely rhubarb to go to waste. Here’s a novel recipe using quite a bit of honey as a sweetener.

Rhubarb Honey Bread Submitted by Luanne Peterson 3 beaten eggs 1 cup oil 1 1/2 cups honey 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 cups rhubarb, cooked and sweetened with 1/4 cup honey 3 cups whole wheat flour 1 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons baking soda 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg Stir together eggs, oil, honey, vanilla

The Johnson clan gives four out of four ‘yums’ to Easy Chicken Bistro more experienced cooks will enjoy leafing through it and finding new treasures to try.

I have been unusually busy lately with family projects, so cooking time has been limited. Here are several recipes that seemed “practical” to me. I am keeping them myself for future time shortages.

and rhubarb. Slowly add the dry ingredients. Divide into two loaf pans and bake at 350 F for 50 minutes. Cover with foil the last 20 minutes.

■ Three ingredients and five minutes of prep time will have you enjoying a hot-outof-the-oven honest-to-gosh fruit cobbler. The availability and variety of high-quality frozen fruits is remarkable these days; an added bonus is that someone else has done all the gathering, peeling, coring and chopping for you. The Dole Co., for instance, sells frozen blackberries, blueberries, mangoes, raspberries, strawberries, mixed berries, mixed fruits, mixed tropical fruits, cherries, pineapples and peaches.

Easy Fruit Cobbler Submitted by Dennis Christianson 2 (16-ounce) bags frozen fruit (about 6 cups) 1 box yellow cake mix (NO pudding in the mix) 2 cups diet lemon-lime soda Preheat oven to 375 F. Spray a 9x15inch pan with nonstick pan spray. Pour both bags of frozen fruit on the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the top of the fruit, making sure there are no clumps. Pour the diet soda over all. Do not stir! Cover with aluminum foil and bake 20 minutes.

Uncover and continue to bake another 45 minutes or until nice and brown on top.

Can serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

■ Occasionally I need just a small cake, one layer perhaps, to go with my lovely fresh strawberry sauce as shortcake or to use in a parfait or for some other reason.

I’ll keep the following recipe (love the name!) for just such situations where a whole cake is entirely too much.

8x8-Inch One-Egg Cake Submitted by Rita Ross 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 3/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup shortening 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 cup milk 1 egg Sift dry ingredients. Add rest of ingredients and mix together. Bake in an 8x8-inch pan at 350 F until “toothpick test” done. Makes good shortcake.

“Cooking With Harmony” is available for $15 plus $5 shipping and handling by sending a check made out to Harmony State Line UMC Women to: Harmony State Line UMC Women, Attn: Carol Johns, 350 First Ave. SE, Harmony, MN 55939 or contact Lynda Koliha at lynda@kolihainsuranceservices.com.

“Sure, because Australia is a major wheat producer and a major competitor of U.S. wheat sales into Southeast Asia.”

How does China, rapidly becoming a major buyer of agricultural products wherever it can get the best deal, impact U.S. trade? “Now you’re talking about a long-term player that seems to have no end to their appetite for U.S. soybeans. China, in the big picture, is the big reason we’re looking at $13 to $14 soybeans.”

Usset is well aware of yield trend lines in corn and soybean production. He pointed out the urgency of yield trends having to accelerate in view of escalating populations of people with “new buying power” in both China and Asia.

He’s been doing marketing sessions with Minnesota farmers for over a decade now. “Farmers are getting better at understanding the importance and the intricacies of marketing,” he said, “but it’s a continuous learning process. It takes a long time to break old habits. But very definitely more producers are exploring different ways to market; trying to get smarter. And they need to do just that.

“The last two or three decades were mostly a production test for farmers, in essence learning how to produce more per acre. This very competitive system has done away with those farmers who didn’t care to keep up with production technologies, or were simply unwilling to buy in with what needed to be done.

“However the next two or three decades the focus will be on marketing. Everyone still standing now knows how to produce a soybean or a corn crop. The next step is do you know how to manage the marketing of that crop,” Usset said.

Usset spoke at an event hosted by Renville County Corn-Soybean Growers.

Food safety challenges the livestock feed industry, too paying a premium for these “nutritionally richer” corns?

“Yes, if we can define nutrient matrixes that are more beneficial to the animal nutrition industry,” Knochenmus said, adding that the key will be getting those supplies to the animals. “There are some things to work out but there’s no doubt that has to be our goal.”

Will corn be purchased on the basis of amino acid content and overall energy values? He simply said that corn will be a driving force in feeding livestock as long as it is grown. Feed stuffs can and do vary considerably from season to season, even from load to load for Ralco. “That keys into the importance of new analytical techniques where we can drill into the nutrient matrix of the ingredient on a real-time basis,” Knochenmus said.

Higher corn costs continue to impact the economics of feeding livestock, and in fact formulating feed products.

“It’s been a struggle for the dairy, hog, poultry, even the beef industry over the past two to three years and it’s a daunting task to get things moving favorably for all participants. We’re daily looking at ‘least cost’ formulations versus ‘best cost’ economics.”

Ralco Nutrition markets into 38 states across America plus 13 different countries including much of Europe, the Middle East and Africa plus the Asian and Latin American markets. The firm produces feeds for the entire livestock matrix.

Crop canopy sensors pinpoint nitrogen needs

THE LAND, JUNE 3, 2011

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer With 30-plus systems now positioned with farmers, custom applicators and retailers in southern Minnesota since he first introduced the strategy in 2006, Bernie Paulson of McPherson Crop Management Inc., Janesville, Minn., is feeling confident

that crop canopy sensing can become a profitable tool for many farmers.

GreenSeeker is the marketing name for this Trimble technology which incorporates infrared scanning of corn leaf surfaces to give you on-the-go variable rate application of nitrogen.

The marketing lingo describes this as

A GreenSeeker nitrogen fertilizer applicator.

a technology that allows you to apply the right amount, in the right place, at the right time. These applications are made in real time as you travel across the field. $20-per-acre advantage GreenSeeker users have conducted hundreds of side-by-side yield comparisons with and without the technology, and generally users are coming home with a $20-per-acre advantage over and above the cost of application and the cost of nitrogen, Paulson said.

How much additional N does the system apply in these on-the-go applications? “Generally we’re adding 10 to 15 pounds per acre on the low end and 30 to 40 lbs./acre on the high end on most applications,” Paulson said. For most farmers in southern Minnesota, the GreenSeeker treatment follows the application of 75 to 80 percent of the

total nitrogen requirements via preplant and/or starter.

“The GreenSeeker program then comes on with a final ‘touch up’ on those areas of the field showing some nitrogen deficiencies after corn has reached a minimum of V5 growth stage right on up to shoulder-high corn if needed,” Paulson said.

Last year corn came on so fast in some fields that it was already near tassel by the time of the GreenSeeker pass. Side-by-side yield comparisons in these late applications indicated up to 15 bushels per acre yield responses, even at this later stage in the season, Paulson said.

35% More Energy Efficient!

CropSpec uses laser diodes for emitting light; reflectance is measured by all sensors using photodiodes.

The reason sensors use modulated light is to distinguish natural sunlight from their own emitted light. This unique feature, accomplished with electrical circuits, allows the sensors to function equally well in conditions ranging from darkness to full sunlight.

Operationally, these sensors can be mounted on N fertilizer applicators equipped with computer processing and variable rate controllers so that sensing and fertilization are done in one pass.

scanning, Paulson suggested it wise to first do the proper soil sampling to implement the overall fertility program, even accounting for different soil types within a given field. Then it’s a matter of continued crop scouting and side-dressing applications as needed.

Working with a custom applicator, he feels it important that a grower and his agronomist establish a base plan even before the crop is planted. “That means, for example, starting with a variable-rate pre-plant and/or starter nitrogen,” Paulson said. “Perhaps that grower is working with a manure maintenance program also. The point being your custom applicator wants to work with you on your total fertility strategy so that the GreenSeeker unit makes a pass through your fields at precisely the right time.”

Any high-clearance sprayer unit can be fitted with the sensors. “We have systems installed on RoGators, Miller Nitros, Hagie units, Case-IH Patriots, John Deere, virtually any high-clearance unit,” he said. “We also have systems on manufactured tool bars, homemade tool bars and modified cultivators.

It matters not the machinery as long as it works for that particular farmer.”

See SENSORS, pg. 12

There are three crop sensor reflectance monitoring systems commercially available to growers: GreenSeeker, OptRx and CropSpec. All three systems use active sensor technology to measure crop reflectance.

This measurement is used to assess canopy greenness and biomass to determine crop nitrogen requirements.

Active sensors function by emitting their own source of modulated light onto the crop canopy and then measuring the percent of modulated light reflected from the canopy back to the sensor.

More specifically, the GreenSeeker and OptRx use light-emitting diodes and the

THE LAND, JUNE 3, 2011

SENSORS, from pg. 10 is also an option. Paulson, a certified crop adviser, said the nitrogen source doesn’t matter to the corn plant. Generally the nitrogen solution is applied between the rows; the urea gets sprinkled over the top of the corn and falls to the soil.

“You get a few burn specks on the leaves but most of it gets to the ground surface where it’s readily available for the corn.” Research documents that N loss can happen with surface applications, however these losses are limited to 10 to 15 percent of total N applied up to two weeks after application.

One piece of the puzzle Is crop canopy sensoring the next step toward 300-bushel corn yields?

Paulson said this system can be a component of that 300-bushel strategy, though it’s only one piece of an entire management system.

“If you haven’t taken care of your drainage, phosphorous, your potassium, sulfur and the bulk of your nitrogen requirements prior to the GreenSeeker application, it’s not going to fill that void in your overall fertility program,” he said.

Waseca researcher: Crop canopy sensors still ‘iffy’

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer After seven seasons of “canopy work” with corn at the Southern Research and Outreach Center in Wasesa, Minn., soil scientist Jeff Vetch believes location may be critical for the technology’s success. In the Central Corn Belt where the GreenSeeker was developed (Oklahoma State University) the crop canopy technology is more positive.

“Hybrids in that area have a much longer grain fill period, and longer uptake period,” Vetch said, “thus nitrogen ‘corrections’ during the V5 to V7 stage have a longer time frame to do their work.”

The Waseca studies involved using the GreenSeeker technology as a small plot diagnostic tool. They used field plots with fixed rates of nitrogen fertilizer which were then “sensed” at V7 and V9-V10 growth stages. They also sensed

as late as V12 and did some applications that late also. The GreenSeeker was used to see if it could identify N stress at any of these stages. Some sites it was successful; others it wasn’t.

“I think in our high organic soils, especially in corn following soybeans,” he said, “there was enough mineralization of nitrogen in those early growth stages up even to V8 to meet the needs of the corn. So if you delayed your application until what the GreenSeeker was sensing it was difficult to measure differences between the control strips and the reference strips that had adequate fertilization.”

In corn-on-corn trials, however, that delineation was obvious and sometimes showed early (V5), so nitrogen applications based on sensing at that time was noticeable. But if application was delayed until corn plants showed stress, yield losses were unrecoverable.

“I think the challenge here in the Northern Cornbelt is that our corn is in a jackrabbit race to the finish line,” Vetch said. “Any stress during that V5 to V7 stage when those plants are setting yield potentials can reduce yield potentials throughout the growing season, and any mid-season nitrogen corrections just don’t register.”

Nitrogen waste ‘eliminated’ SENSORS, from pg. 11 Time and money Application speed varies, of course, with the size of the unit, but Paulson suggested a 16-row unit (40-foot boom) traveling 8 mph would be covering about 40 acres an hour. A self-propelled sprayer could easily cover 100 acres an hour. This last “nitrogen touch up” practice certainly isn’t a serious time consumer as long as the proper support equipment is providing “refilling” as needed. These high-clearance sprayers with 90-foot and 120-foot booms plus 800- to 1,200-gallon tanks doing five to 10 gallons per acre application rates can cover several hundred acres in a short period of time.

According to Paulson, depending on toolbar or boom configuration, with all required equipment, installation and training will run between $13,000 to $22,000. “Figuring minimum $20 per acre payback in saved N or increased yield, 650 to 1,200 acres will pay for the cost of the system.”

Relating to the growing issue of farmers having to account for exactly where, when and how much fertility was applied to a given field, Paulson said the best way to reduce N loss is to shorten the time between when you apply it and when the crop needs it. Crop canopy sensing during the growing season might be part of that strategy.

“With nitrogen costing 50 cents, 60 cents and higher, the question becomes how do we manage our inputs to get the most mileage out of every one of those dollars going into producing the crop. We think the GreenSeeker system is one helpful step,” Paulson said.

He indicated 75 percent of systems are going into the custom application market. Farmers who purchase for their own use often are applying for neigh-

bors also. He ventured that almost all systems are doing some custom work.

Big applicator One of the biggest GreenSeeker custom applicators in Minnesota is Crystal Valley Co-op of Lake Crystal. This season the co-op will be running eight GreenSeeker units.

“As we move forward with higher yielding hybrids and yield goals, we see more need for split applications of nitrogen,” said Tony Jacobs, agronomy sales lead for the co-op. “And if we can vary the N rate as we move across the landscape, canopy technology came along as the best tool for helping us get that job done. Plus it virtually eliminates wasting nitrogen.”

They run the GreenSeeker through fields starting at V6 to V8 growth stage.

“That’s when nitrogen demand goes exponential in that plant but we’re running even as late as V12 and still measuring N deficiencies.” They use 28 percent N applied in a concentrated high-pressure stream between each row.

Because of current economics and yield goals, Crystal Valley Co-op promotes three trips for nitrogen, especially if in a corn-on-corn program. Preplant could be either fall anhydrous or spring-applied urea plus starter, plus the GreenSeeker application at the appropriate growth stage.

“We calibrate for target rates and mostly suggest a 75 percent-25 percent application schedule. Typically we average eight to 12 gallons per acre for the 28 percent N through the GreenSeeker system.”

Angel Network guiding force between investors, businesses

By DICK HAGEN The Land Staff Writer There’s an angel that is out to help new businesses in Minnesota.

The Minnesota Angel Network is a consortium of private investors with potential assistance from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development.

Its primary purpose is to function as the facilitator between potential investors and potential new businesses.

Todd Leonard, MAN executive director officed in St. Louis Park, said, “the Angel investor is categorized as an individual or group of investors who invest their own money in companies or technologies that they are passionate about. The concept of Angel investors is not new as evidenced by Minnesota’s many value-added cooperatives. But we are finding numerous pockets around the state of individuals or

groups of individuals, be it local Lion’s Club members or other community-based networks that want to invest in their communities.

“What we look for are those investors who are driven with the ambition of reinvesting in Minnesota,” Leonard said, emphasizing that the Minnesota Angel Network is a non-profit organization to assist the entrepreneur-minded individuals or local community groups. “This does not mean developing a business plan for a startup company, but rather putting the focus on what it takes to get a new company or an expanding company ready for investors.”

Some questions explored: What are the projected returns? How do you protect the initial investors? What is the exit strategy? How will you formulate your company so that your stock is set up for success should you

need multiple rounds of stock offerings? Even something as basic as how do you talk to an investor?

The Minnesota Angel Network is part of The BioBusiness Alliance of Minnesota’s Full Spectrum Funding initiative that is focused on improving the funding environment for start-up companies, statewide. “The BioBusiness Alliance helps facilitate statewide initiatives. It also supports start-up companies looking to start, grow or relocate to Minnesota.”

The Worthington BioScience Center is one of the current initiatives of the Angel Network. In Redwood Falls, Leonard related to the Center for Excellence for Macro cycle Development. His agency is doing woody mass projects in northern Minnesota and prairie grass projects in west central Minnesota. “We help facilitate statewide initiatives, do the initial research for the initiatives, and help start implementing the process.

A spin-off from the work of the BioBusiness Alliance is the BioBusiness Resource Network, a group that helps companies get started.”

Over the past two years, this group has helped more than 193 companies. Almost half of those companies are located in Greater Minnesota.

One such company is Redwood Falls-based Fresh EcoHarvest. Fresh EcoHarvest does platform growth of various plant life and is getting 10 to 14 harvests per year from a normal vine crop such as tomatoes that typically produces one crop each season.

It assisted Fresh EcoHarvest’s efforts by facilitating introduction, identifying funding sources and providing general business advisory and is often the primary catalyst in the startup of many bioscience related companies.

“Minnesota has a number of unique bioscience undertakings.

Minnesota is noted for its creative and entrepreneurial spirit. But there has never been a place for an investor to look at statewide companies nor has there been a reliable and convenient source for companies to find investors who are interested in Minnesota. The Minnesota Angel Network provides those services to both parties,” Leonard said.

In practical terms, the Minnesota Angel Network is the online portal that first qualifies companies for assistance and then introduces investors to these various companies. Because of potential privacy issues, a potential investor is never identified to a particular company, unless they wish to be identified.

“Even inside the portal there is complete confidentiality so there is no exposure to others of any potential business alliance,” Leonard said.

Livestock Angles Cattle market under pressure

Grain Angles No secrets in the markets

The following market analysis is for the week ending May 27.

CORN — Weather maintained its place on the front page this week as growers struggled to finish up corn planting and push on to soybeans.

Corn planting last week at 79 percent was about as expected, but still behind the average.

Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and North Dakota were all at least 25 percent behind their five-year average. For the coming week, May 30 corn planting is estimated to be 85 percent to 90 percent complete versus the fiveyear average of 94 percent com- PHYLLIS NYSTROM Country Hedging plete.

St. Paul We may see our first crop condition report this coming week if emergence is above 50 percent.

The eastern Corn Belt continues to receive nearly daily rain, although the six- to 10-day National Weather Service forecast for June 1-5 is forecasting warmer and drier conditions. The Upper Midwest for the same time frame warms up, but with above average rainfall.

The market was counting on everyone’s production this year to avoid declining year-on-year ending stocks. This looks unlikely to happen with the wet areas (particularly Ohio and North Dakota) struggling. Final production will also hinge on how many extra acres went to corn in the western Corn Belt where they had minimal planting delays.

Major questions that won’t be answered for awhile are how many corn acres will be switched to another

Since the start of May the livestock markets have been under some pressure, especially the cattle market. Shrinking demand due to the high cutout prices and shrinking domestic disposable income were the major contributing factors in the recent weakness.

Cattle have been on the slide since the early days of April and as numbers of ready cattle picked up in May, the drop in prices became more prominent. The fact that beef cutouts reached levels that retailers began to balk at the high prices reflected the weakening demand for beef. Weather has also had an influence on demand as the late spring has hurt the JOE TEALE early grilling season. As beef Broker cutouts have come down, there Great Plains Commodity has been an increase in retail Afton demand, especially for the Memorial Day weekend business.

The futures have seen a far more drastic fall than the cash market as hedge and index funds began to liquidate their long positions. This has put the futures at a discount to cash and a favorable basis for feedlots.

On May 20 the U.S. Department of Agriculture released the Monthly Cattle on Feed Report. The results are as follows: on feed May 1, 107 percent; placed in April, 110 percent; and marketed during April, 97 percent. The report was interpreted as bearish as placements were well higher than expected.

This would lead one to believe that cattle prices may continue to remain on the defensive for the next several months because of the ample supplies. The fact that the market may be oversold at the present time,

The rain falls, storms rage and rivers rise. This has been the story of the 2011 planting season. The vast majority of the corn crop has been planted, yet there are areas that still struggle to put the seed in the ground. The Mississippi River Valley continues to be challenged as the flood gates are opened, putting hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland under water.

Investment funds had liquidated many of their positions in the commodity markets only to rush back in to reestablish their positions. The corn market has factored into its price the loss of 1 million to 3 million acres and a less-than-trend-line yield. That is TOM NEHER the function of the futures mar- AgStar VP Agribusiness & Grain Specialist kets — to factor in all the knowlRochester edge known into the price. There are no secrets in the markets, only the changing fundamentals and the psychological reactions to them. These reactions create the volatility that is present in today’s markets.

Fundamentally, with fewer acres expected to be planted and forecasted growing conditions, the corn supplies will remain tight with the current demand.

The rebuilding of stocks will be challenging barring some significant destruction of demand. If planned corn acres are shifted to soybeans, this will add stocks to the record South American crop. The wheat crop on the Plains is being challenged by drought. France and Germany, the major wheat-producing areas of Western Europe, are also experiencing drought that threatens crop production. World wheat stocks have been strong, but will be drawn

Fundamentally, beans bearish; technically, bullish NYSTROM, from pg. 15 crop, how many will just be planted late, and how many growers will take the prevented plant option and not plant those acres at all. May 25 was the final planting date in part of North Dakota and June 5 is the date for Ohio and Indiana.

Trade talk is circulating that the corn acreage number may begin with an 8 instead of a 9 this year. A Reuters survey indicates the average trade guess for planted acreage is 90.35 (92.2 U.S. Department of Agriculture) million acres of corn and 76.76 (76.6 USDA) million acres of soybeans.

The weaker U.S. dollar also lent good support to commodities in general during the week. The dollar has fallen to support as the week ended and the trend has turned lower after last week’s key reversal higher. Renewed concerns about European debt and non-stellar U.S. economic reports were the catalysts for the dipping dollar.

Fund rolls will begin next week and continue for about two weeks. This could put additional pressure on the July contract while lending support to new crop.

Ethanol margins are in the black and production was up 2,000 barrels per day for the week ending May 20. At least one chicken company is talking about cutting production after July 4 if margins don’t improve, but we haven’t heard that yet from the ethanol industry.

Weekly export sales were as expected at 28.6 million bushels for old crop and 2.1 million for new crop.

OUTLOOK: Planting progress, weather, crop conditions and demand point upward, but with a new contract high this week in the December contract at $6.84 3/4, you may want to consider how you protect against downside moves if next week’s weather is conducive to widespread corn planting.

World weather forecasts look better going into the weekend, but dryness in France, Germany, China and Russia needs to be watched.

Old crop basis levels are strong which suggests further upside until we ration. July corn was down a penny this week at $7.58 1/2 and the December was up 17 1/2 cents at $6.84 per bushel.

SOYBEANS — Fundamentally, soybeans have a bearish tone; however, technically, they are holding their own in old crop and showing an uptrend in new crop.

Demand for soybeans is fading with most importers looking to source South American soybeans. Celeres out of Brazil reported that farmers had sold 65 percent of their bean crop, right on the average for this time of year.

China also announced sales of 2.1 million metric tons of reserve beans to their processors at below market prices. This was part of 3 mmt announced earlier in the month. China has more than 2 mmt of unshipped U.S. soybeans for this year still on the books. An agency in China lowered their import forecast from 54 mmt to 53 mmt (USDA is at 54.5 mmt).

Soybean basis was flat to lower this week in the

MARKETING

U.S. and Brazilian basis was lower.

Soybean planting is anticipated to reach 54 percent complete on Memorial Day versus the five-year average of 71 percent and up from last week’s 41 percent complete. Bean planting is running up against the same weather as corn, but there could be more soybean acres than originally planned due to the delays in corn plantings. For now, it could be a wash of more bean acres from corn versus bean acres that can’t get planted.

Export sales were neutral at 6 million bushels for old crop and a negative 200,000 bushels for new crop. The April crush report was in line with estimates at 128 million bushels, but was still the lowest April crush in seven years. The implied meal usage was down 8.5 percent year on year and the lowest since 1997.

OUTLOOK: It will most likely take a weather event or general commodity strength to propel soybeans into new highs. South America may well end up with record ending stocks this year, U.S. bean acreage has a decent chance to increase, and China is conspicuously absent, which makes soybeans a follower.

July soybeans were down 1/2 cent at the close at $13.79 3/4 while the November contract was up 18 cents at $13.68 1/2 per bushel.

Demand dictates future movement TEALE, from pg. 15 only presents the possibility that a short-term rally might be possible. Producers should be cognizant of the current market conditions and use any strength to protect inventories.

Hogs have not really suffered the same fate as the cattle market, as prices have remained almost steady to even higher. The futures market has suffered the most weakness during the past few weeks, narrowing the gap between futures and cash which had been abnormally wide.

During the early part of May the pork cutouts reached record levels, but because of the higher

prices domestic demand soon began to suffer. The export demand has continued to be a plus and, because of the disparity of pork prices in comparison to other meats, should continue to remain fairly firm.

Obviously the delayed spring has also hurt domestic demand as the grilling season has not yet gotten into full swing. Seasonally, we normally see a decline in hog prices into the fall and this year looks to be normal again. Producers should be aware of the seasonality of the market and use premiums and rallies in the market to protect inventories.

Demand will dictate the future price movement in livestock markets over the next few months, not necessarily the supply.

In my last column I stated that the commodity markets acted tired and were losing momentum.

Since that time, we have seen investment money and end-users come back into the market, driving prices higher. As of this writing, the old highs have not been taken out and continue to hold.

The long-term fundamentals of supply and demand are expected to remain strong for the next several years. If this continues to support high grain prices, continued inflation of land, inputs and machinery will prevail. All of this will take place in an environment of volatility that may challenge our mental fortitude and management.

The current situation will create additional volatility in both the futures markets and the cash markets. Grain in the Upper Midwest that was expected to be shipped in the nearby, will be backed up in the pipeline until the river system is cleared. This will tend to keep the basis bids soft until grain starts to move efficiently.

On the other side of the river in the southeastern United States, basis will remain strong until the sup-

This has been a reflection of the continued planting struggle. As the U.S. Department of Agriculture planting progress and crop condition reports roll out, the market will find reason to further challenge the old highs or test the downside.

Remember that “Where the markets will go, nobody knows” and “Where the money flows, the markets will go.” Margin management continues to provide the Grain Angle to help us build a war chest of working capital. This will be the “shock absorber” that will help cushion a Black Swan landing.

In which case, the producer with a qualifying crop insurance policy would qualify for prevented planting insurance coverage, which is 60 percent of the original insurance guarantee. Producers with group insurance coverage policies (GRP or GRIP) are not eligible for prevented planting insurance coverage.

Remember, if a producer chooses to accept a full prevented planting payment on all or part of a crop insurance farm unit, they cannot plant and harvest a second crop, and cannot hay and graze a cover crop until after Nov. 1. Failure to comply with this could result is loss of crop insurance coverage for the 2011 crop year, as well as potential other penalties.

If a second crop is planted instead of the intended crop after final planting date and before the end of the late planting period ends, the crop insurance coverage on the second crop would replace the insurance coverage on the first crop, provided the second crop is eligible for crop insurance coverage.

THE LAND, JUNE 3, 2011

Natzke: Food, farm interests to vie for budget pie MIELKE, from pg. 19 Dryer told me that the gossip last week was that the price would be at that level by the end of June and, while it may not happen quite that fast, Dryer said cheese could hit $2.30 or close to it this fall for a number of reasons.

Milk production in a lot of the prime cheese making regions of the country was below a year ago or production per cow was down, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s latest

Milk Production report, and that portends less milk ahead. Dryer adds that high butter prices are pulling milk away from the vat and high nonfat dry milk prices are limiting cheese vat fortifications so yields will slip.

European cheese seems to be headed to Russia, he said, and New Zealand milk seems to be going to whole milk powder for China. U.S. cheese is filling some of those export voids, going to numerous

locations around the world, and the U.S. economy continues to recover and cheese demand continues to grow.

Ditto on butter. Prices could go even higher than $2.30, Dryer said. A couple of manufacturers told him that $2.30 will be the lowest price this fall though he’s not totally convinced of that yet.

He admitted, however, that 2011 butter sales remained strong despite the price being at or close to $2.

In the past, food manufacturers who used butter as an ingredient would often switch to alternatives when butter prices got too high, but Dryer points out there’s a different paradigm in place now because it’s much more difficult to switch.

“They have proclaimed on their menus and in their recipes that they are transfat free,” Dryer said, “and therefore can’t use a lot of the substitutes for butter that are on the market.

They have to stick with butter.”

Furthermore, the prices of most of those alternatives are also quite high, he said.

■ The House appropriations committee this week released a subcommittee draft of the fiscal year 2012 agriculture appropriations bill.

Dairy Profit Weekly Editor Dave Natzke said in Friday’s DairyLine broadcast that the draft is light on dairy specifics but may offer some insights.

“With Republicans representing the majority on all House committees, the overriding theme is reduced spending,” Natzke said. The proposal was scheduled to be marked up in the agriculture subcommittee this week, he said, and

according to the draft, overall spending for agencies and programs covering agriculture will receive about $126 billion in discretionary and mandatory funding in FY 2012, down about $2.7 billion from this year, and $7 billion less than President Obama requested in his budget proposal.

Undoubtedly, dairy will face its share of cuts, he said. For example, the proposal reduces the USDA’s Risk Management Agency budget, which could negatively impact the Livestock Gross Margin-Dairy income margin insurance program, which ran out of money just half-way through this year.

Government feeding and nutrition programs make up nearly three-quarters of the USDA’s budget, and those are also cut, which could impact dairy.

Dairy products are included in food and nutrition programs and cuts could reduce dairy product sales.

Secondly, support of food and nutrition programs has traditionally created a congressional coalition in support of farm policy and “that coalition could fracture under the pressure of intense budget fighting,” Natzke said, “as food and farm interests reach for the same piece of budget pie.”

■ Finally, some wit for the week: In the ’60s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it “normal.”

ver a period of roughly 30 years, O at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, the Scot-

generally didn’t have access to libraries and some even thought they shouldn’t. But Carnegie had a grand vision of a nation of self-made citizens.

The energy, intelligence and motivation would be provided by America’s huge immigrant population. Carnegie would provide a home for the information they needed to succeed.

By the time Carnegie was done building libraries he had built thousands of them, and farmers and working people across the country had easy access to great literature, equipment repair manuals and the entire range of information available from library.

Many of those libraries still serve their original purpose.

Little Falls received a $10,000 Carnegie grant in 1902 and built their library in 1904. Like Carnegie libraries in most small towns, the Little Falls library was one of the grandest buildings in the community. Its exterior Craftsman design and interior architecture of fine woodwork and high ceilings were an appropriately inspirational setting for the wealth of information it held. In 2000 an addition was added and the building continues to serve the town as their branch to the Great River Regional Library.

No one has measured the impact of that $10,000 grant to Little Falls and the broader world; it would surely be immeasurable.
